sagethesausage — Wed, 16 Aug 2023 10:09:43 +0800

Let's say I have no plans to ever get married or have children...

PSA: Poco X3 Pro 8gb 256gb sale for rm792 only.

sagethesausage — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 21:43:09 +0800

Too cheap. Cannot resist even tho I don't really need a 2nd phone.

This shit is powered by Snapdragon 860. Imagine getting near flagship specs for under rm800. Other phones under Rm1000 don't even have a reason to exist.

Been using android since the Android 2.1 days. This is literally the best valued android phone I've ever seen in my life, beating out legendary value phones the likes of Oneplus One and Poco F1.

If you're buying a phone today, this should be the one you're getting.

Don't worry. 5G won't get full coverage anytime soon in Malaysia. You don't need 5G.

Saman PDRM- Halangan lalu lintas. How much?

sagethesausage — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 17:24:31 +0800

Unlucky day, parked yellow line to dabao rice for a while, come out Polis saman whole row of cars. This was behind the shop and didn't block any traffic actually...

Checked myeg, haven't appeared yet.

The saman didn't state the price... How much is it? Can make rayuan for diskaun? Should I wait for the annual 50% discount?

Any balai polis can pay? Or can only pay at the Cawangan Polis Trafik? Trafik polis is open what time during cmco?

Is Protege program good for fresh grads?

sagethesausage — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 13:51:25 +0800

So I saw there's a lot of these Protege positions offered, collab from government and private companies.

Salary is only rm2000, and contract is one year, so I assume salary will be stagnant throughout the year.

Isn't it a bit low for a degree graduate? I thought market rate starting pay for fresh grad is above rm2500.

Would you take it for the experience and get stuck there for a year?

Is rm1800 a good pay for fresh grad?

sagethesausage — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:13:13 +0800

The upside of living in Sarawak is cheaper costs of living in food and rent. The downside is that employers use this as justification to offer lower salary. Wages here are a few hundred lower than WM for the exact same job and there's limited job opportunities too. Applied to every job I see, can't get any rm2k offer.

This sales job is Maxis outdoor promoter and rm1800 is the basic and fuel allowance as it requires travelling around. Upside is that its only five days /9 hours per week
as opposed to other jobs that is 6 days/ 12 hours. Anyone with experience with this job feel free to chime in with your experience. Any penalty if no hit sales target?

I'm reluctant because this job only requires SPM qualification. Honestly four years ago with only STPM I was already earning rm1800 per month. Now that I have a degree... Still the same salary and can't break 2K. It feels like I studied four years for nothing.

Should I hold out for a better job or just take it? Got 3 months contract if I'm not mistaken, cant simply resign or have to pay the remaining months.

Contract work 1 year means cannot resign in 1year?

sagethesausage — Thu, 22 Oct 2020 12:40:40 +0800

Does contract work one year means that I cannot resign at all within the one year period?

sagethesausage — Tue, 20 Oct 2020 11:44:22 +0800

Does it mean that they're willing to offer rm2000 only lol. If I write down the max value rm3000 as expected salary will my resume get thrown out?

Cannot Casting + Bluetooth speakers on Android?

sagethesausage — Wed, 09 Sep 2020 14:40:28 +0800

Wireless display / Screen Mirroring/ Casting, these are the possible names it's called on your Android phone.

I'm trying to use my phone Redmi 9 to cast a movie on my wireless projector and play the audio through my Bluetooth speakers. Clean and neat setup without any cables. Except it's not possible. The sound outputs thru my projector with no option to output from my phone or Bluetooth speakers.

Is this a limitation and weakness of Android? Is there a toggle for sound output that I missed somehow?

Ptptn Exemption for m40

sagethesausage — Mon, 10 Aug 2020 16:17:01 +0800

Hey guys, I graduated with first class in my degree. But I'm sad to find that I don't qualify for exemption because my parents income is slightly over m40. But I don't understand why use my parent's income instead of my income? I don't live with them most of the year and am working a minimum wage job at rm1200 (job market is bad now...no one hiring, have to make do with this). Do they expect my parents to pay for me?

I am single live alone cannot count as my own household income? Not like I share any of my income with my parents or vice versa. The only way to get exemption is to get married so that I count as a m40 household?
