Reason for sale: I bought wrong HDD for my brother. He wanted the Solid State Drive but i got him the normal HDD. Since i am flying to Singapore tonight, i do not have time to go back Lowyat Plaza to change it (i live in klang) so i decided to let it go here at RM20 cheaper. I bought it last night at rm170(u can see the price list from lyn page). that's the price i am willing to pay (rm20) for the mistake. please PM me if u are interested and if u want COD around klang/shahalam/subang/etc. so i can arrange my family member to COD with u. the item is still sealed new in package so confirm 100% brand new, will give u the original receipt also. please dont ask for best price further cos its new and the cheapest u can get from lowyat plaza is 170. so my price is even more cheaper already.

thanks

buying 2nd / recond conti cars

northel — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 14:03:46 +0800

this includes those premium selections shit from bmw or merz or audi, even volvo also.

dont u know first hand over will thrash these cars kaw kaw before selling away as 2nd hand or get imported as recond? many ppl said beemer is mahal always masuk workshop, because they use recond or 2nd hand cars. i never hear my colleagues got prob cos they buy 1st hand.

my dad used to drive camry and our house kena flooded and dad went to overhaul but still a lot problem the car, so he sold the car off to 2nd hand car dealer. Dealer didnt know it was a flooded unit so we sold it off at quite a good price, kesian the new buyer get problematic car.

then my unker also sold his old accord, he is biznez man so always travel from KL to singapore, sometime to penang. his car clocked over 100k mileage, he go send to workshop tamper the odometer make it less than half, went to repaint his car nice nice, sold at at good price too. kesian the new buyer get old stock car.

for me, i thrash my wira kaw kaw last time, masuk workshop few time then always problem so i sold off, also ok ok the price for down payment for my new civic.

all these experience i tell myself never to buy 2nd hand car or recond car, because the car dealer might be cheated from the previous owner. they just want do business they wont check too much. so siapa rugi? kita end user/buyer yang rugi.

to be safe, i tell myself ONLY buy 1st hand car fresh from factory. walaupun aku mampu bayar cash rm200k, i will still get a new civic/accord rather than a 2nd hand beemer or merz.

good luck to all 2nd hand cars/ recond conti car buyers. u know ur parts are mahal, more mahal than jap cars. so why not buy 1st hand jap cars instead of 2nd hand conti? nak showoff sangat ke? when kete rosak need buy parts u baru tau la. these cars dah kene thrash kaw2 so most likely parts easy rosak.

clinics nowadays want untung money

northel — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:34:05 +0800

i see clinics outside got a lot advertisements of their products such as
- Blood Test
- Urine Test
- Medical Check Up
- Health Test
- STD Test
- HIV Test
- Diabetes Test
- blablabla which i cant remember but is some <insert organ> test

actually what they really need is just
- Medical Test
- HIV Test

that's all right?

In medical check up u already take urine sample and blood sample, which can reveal a lot information like diabetes level, std (std u check urine already tau), heck even hiv can check from blood.

one single main product already enough, split til so much make consumer confuse. and imagine if a patient wanna check for diabetes and high blood pressure and STD let's say, he is paying RM100 x 3 instead of the medical check up rm250.

the super-awsume cars of malaysia

northel — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 16:57:54 +0800

drills snapped when i wan balik rumah from work, at my opis carpark.

first, i am proud to be parked alongside the super awesome luxury cars. all 4 cars here are chiq magnets.

second, why so many rich ppl in malaysia? the cars behind me a lot conti also. got passat CC, got benzi, got Golf GTI, got 1 A250 red kaler brake pads, got a few beemers, and another super-godcar civic. (no lousy godcar vios dare to park near us)

third, again i am proud. when i park there in the morning i am the only car, then the beemers dont mind parking near my car meaning they acknowledge my super-god car status.

fourth, these cars definitely owned by normal working employee. why i know because upstair got reserved car parks normally for directors and management ppls. those who park at this level is only normal kuli batak. so now i see even normal kuli batak can drive beemer so this encourages me to work hard to get a beemer.

fifth, the cars definitely owned by <vroom> cos most of us already cabut at this hour and only <vroom> will balik lambat.

sekian cerita untuk hari ini

kantoi ngan docter

northel — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 10:36:31 +0800

This morning went to see doctor, told him stomach sakit not feeling well to go office. Then doctor took the <ntah ape bende>-scope thing put on my stomach listen, then he said my stomach is ok. then i said i keep go laosai this morning. then doctor said "so are u feeling better now?" then i said "ya now better dy"

then he said good, he will give me some medicine to eat.
then i ask for MC, he said since u are feeling ok now, u dont need MC.

shit. it's already 9.10 and i still at home. if tak dapat MC then I am LATE ! if late will deduct RM10 every 10 minutes. I dont bother talk to the lansi doctor dy since i know i kantoi-ed (its obvious i watch last nite match want take MC and this doctor gave such stupid reason) so i just said OK thanks doctor and walked out.

after go home faster mandi change clothes and rush to office. so today my salary will be less RM60 told my colleague he said i should try the clinic nearby, easier to get MC. i manalah tau kan, stupid clinic near my hse so strict.

so sad. MC x dapat, rugi plak RM60.

food stall lady over charge me !

northel — Wed, 02 Jul 2014 11:08:48 +0800

I had breakfast at the nearby food stall that serves economy fried noodle/bihun/kuey teow/telur goreng in the morning, and mixed rice in the noon. This is actually my usual stall for breakfast.

I took some portion of fried bihun, and telur goreng. So after payment, I saw they start bringing out the dishes they cooked and place it on the trays. I went over to the kari ayam there and took the gravvy. Normally before payment I will already siram my mihun/kuey teow with the kuah kari, but today i had very early breakfast so the dishes not out yet.

After happily taking the kuah kari and about to walk away, the lady say "Encik mari kejap"

then I went over.

"kuah kari kena tambah 50 sen"
I was stunned, and paid anyway cos I felt a bit paiseh. The feeling was like after u pay already you go back and add some sayur or ayam with intention to pay less/buruk siku. But this is only gravvy ! no meat no sayur, only the liquid !

I walked to the table and sat down thinking "so means normally when i took the kuah kari and paid, she got charge me additional 50sen for the food or not?" "is this a 1 time only? or i should test tmr take the bihun without kari and see how much she charge." "but last time i came here aso she charge rm4, no difference! why this time 4.50? what the hell is happening"

So what should i do next? boikot her stall or next time go back again and this time dont take gravvy, but without gravvy no syok !

BANGSAR SOUTH

today when I park my car, i saw some paper on top of a civic's windscreen. Being a responsible /ktard I decided to capture drill, to avoid being called cool story teller.

upon closer inspection, i found out there's some nasty words on it. To avoid being misunderstood as the perpetrator and kena tangkap masuk lokap, i fast fast leave the scene.

felt glad cos I manage to captured drill and be a good /ktard.

malaysia 4g > singapore 4g

northel — Mon, 19 May 2014 15:27:27 +0800

i am using maxis with an LTE-enabled device. I can use 4g(LTE) services on my phone with a normal internet package (rm50 for 1gb) subscribed on my maxis plan.

but in singapore, if u have existing data plan and wanna use LTE(4g) device to get 4g speed, u gotta pay additional $10 per month to upgrade 3g to 4g speed. such ridiculous.

Malaysia maxis > singapork data plan

AMD A8 vs Intel i5

northel — Thu, 15 May 2014 17:14:58 +0800

i want to buy a new laptop, i notice the price diff between these 2 is quite narrow so i am a bit confused which to buy
- Lenovo G405s (AMD A8-5550M)
vs
- Lenovo S410p (Intel i5-4200U)

which 1 is better?

usage would be less gaming (not a gamer actually, but love to watch youtube videos) and i always visit stock market site (HLE broking site) and I uses microsoft office softwares (especially excel worksheets) a lot. and i always surf website so can expect my google chrome open a lot of multiple tabs. normal tasks like reply email, facebook, etc.

hope the pros here can advise. thanks
