Shure SRH840 or Sennheiser Momentum/Urbanite?

Kurogane___ — Fri, 07 Aug 2015 12:51:25 +0800

Hello guys, I am seeking for a quality headphone, before this I hadn't bought/used any headphone more than RM300 (I am using RM200+ punya Pioneer now, sounds not really good). so I got no idea how is expensive headphones like

After looking around I narrowed down to some of the most popular brand like Shure and Sennheiser. But I got no idea how will the different model of the same brand sound, I tried searching around on internet, and of course I saw people who like and people who dislike either model, so cannot make up my mind.

I normally listen to rock and hardrock and a bit of metal, and some pop songs too, primarily Japanese punya. My budget is lower than RM800, unless you can convince me to add on it for much greater quality (and I am not that hard to convince, but need to worth it la )

I don't need extremely high bass. Range from neutral bass to somehow high bass is good. I am not sure whether I like monitoring/analytical punya headphones or not. But I need amazing sound quality, until I feel kicka** by just listening to it and walking around aimlessly. I dulu pernah try some cheap cheap punya headphones, and they sound really amazing, it is like the music is playing in my brain, not from the headphone. I feel like the guy in some cool MV, or a movie character listening to the BGM, it is really satisfying, but those cheap headphones only last for two days

So I am considering the three models in the title, by Senn Momentum I am talking about the on ear one, since its price is closer to the other two, but if you think over-ear punya is much better and worth the price, you can recommend it too the same goes for Urbanite XL and more expensive punya Shure. you can also recommend other brand and model to me

Sorry for long post ya, hope can get response from any sifus here

How do PEKA affect SPM result?

Kurogane___ — Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:55:01 +0800

I am Form 4 and have switched to science stream recently, I am not sure about other subjects but for physics, my physics teacher told me that we will do 3 physics PEKA in Form 4, and 1 in Form 5, total 4 PEKA.
I missed out 2 PEKA since they were done before I switched to science class, so I can only do 2 of the remaining PEKA. My teacher say I will have "not enough" PEKA in this case, and she "discourage" me to just copy the PEKA.

I think the teachers may or may not tell me clearly about how do PEKA affect our SPM result. I would like to know how it actually work. It is probably one (or more) from the examples below, which I don't know which one is correct:

1. PEKA mark is counted in the total mark of the subject in SPM. For example, it involves 10% in the subject, meaning that if you get 0 in PEKA, the maximum score you can get for that subject in SPM paper is 90%.

2. PEKA mark is counted seperately from the subject's SPM paper. For example, it will not affect SPM paper's mark but the PEKA mark will instead be recorded beside paper's mark on your SPM result slip, or recorded on the other certificate.

3. Affect SPM result in the other way. For example, if you fail PEKA you fail the subject, or, if you don't get A for PEKA you cannot get A for the subject although you actually get A for your paper.

I've heard many version of answer for this question, but many of them are different.

Anyone has an idea about this?

Requirements to pursue master degree at top uni?

Kurogane___ — Sun, 11 May 2014 18:46:08 +0800

I wondered how is the entry requirement to pursue master degree at universities, what do they use as the pointer of your qualification?
We all know that universities look at our SPM and Year 12 equivalent results when we are going for bachelor degree course, but if I want to pursue my postgraduate studies at top universities (do note that in my heart, other than US and UK's top uni, NUS and other big name uni in Asia are top uni as well), what are the requirements? Should I hold a bachelor degree of their recognized institutes? If so, what are the universities which are widely recognized by top uni?

I am asking this because my dream is to pursue my education at one of the top uni but I think that the chance for me to enter top uni for bachelor degree is kinda low, so I wish that I can have a more decent chance to do my postgraduate studies at top uni, any experience/advice are highly appreciated Cheers!

Does NUS check your high school record?

Kurogane___ — Mon, 05 May 2014 17:39:18 +0800

I mean like when you apply for NUS with your A-Level result, does NUS still check your high school record like SPM result, co-curriculum marks, or other records? Or it has nothing to do with high school anymore, it check your pre-u only?

STPM and A-Level subjects requirement?

Kurogane___ — Thu, 01 May 2014 21:12:19 +0800

I wish that I could know as thorough as possible about STPM and A-Level entry requirements by subject

Well I'm not science stream student and I want to take some of the Maths subject in my pre-u. I heard that Maths are grouped into science subject, and to take science subjects in STPM you need to have credits of science subjects in your SPM result. Is this true? That means non-science stream students will have no chance of taking math in STPM?

How about A-Levels? Are that any requirement on my SPM result if I want to take math-related subjects? (Apart of the general requirement of 5 credits in SPM)
