pos malaysia - where to pick up my item?

xsaintx — Sat, 02 Mar 2013 14:34:43 +0800

I have a parcel sent through hong kong registered airmail and when i tracked it, it says "was tendered for delivery on 1-Mar-2013 without success because the addressee was not available at the time of delivery. Addressee was advised to pick up the item."

I believe it goes through pos malaysia once it reaches malaysia? but i can't track the item on the website, I did not receive any card to inform me about this mis-delivery... will they redeliver again or I need to pick up from somewhere, if so, where??

Study architecture in UK

xsaintx — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:28:22 +0800

Hi, I'm an architecture student, currently doing my final year of diploma in taylor's.
I'm thinking of pursuing my degree and master in UK...some of my choices are University of Strathclyde, Manchester Uni, Cardiff Uni, and Newcastle Uni.
Anyone studied/studying thr? I would like to hear some experience of student lives in UK. Also, i need advice on which uni is suitable for me base on:

1) budget - tuition fee+living cost = approx rm100k per year
2) my result - accumulative average is between 70-75%, how many years can i get exempted from?
3) accreditation - preferably uni which is known for its architecture course..eg: apparently cardiff is ranked no.1 for architecture in UK?
4) recognition by PAM
5) student life/experience

would really appreciate if anyone can give me some insight on this! thanks!

Microsoft Update

xsaintx — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 03:32:57 +0800

hi, today i sent my laptop for repair becos it had been acting weird for a long time. the dude changed a new harddisc for me, but im not convinced that its the problem.

anyway my real problem is this, he changed the new harddisc and installed new windows xp on it, using my genuine windows cd. so when i get home, i tried to install the updates from microsoft site:

Windows Genuine Advantage Validation Tool (KB892130)
Update for Windows XP (KB898461)

BUT FAILED.

i've tried many times, restart and googled for solutions but to no avail.

also, i cant seem to install back my windows live messenger...a security warning will pop up saying it is from unknown publisher, when i click ok it just disappear.

sigh! what is happening?!

how to pop ears?

xsaintx — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 07:14:09 +0800

hi,
i'm currently suffering from fever..and my throat feels like got many many phlegm..
but that's not the most irritating part.
what i cant stand is my ears feel blocked...its like when ur travelling by air, when the plane ascent or descent then ur ears experienced those pressure.
eventho i've unblocked it, after a while it goes back to the same.

i've tried yawning, swallowing, and the pinching nose way...sometimes they work, sometimes they dont.

anyone has any effective way to 'pop' the ears? i cant focus on my work!!!

battling love rival

xsaintx — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 22:45:56 +0800

One of the most difficult obstacle in a relationship is when a rival appears.. but what if the rival is not a person?

recently my love one has joined a mlm company. he's so enthusiastic abt it. i'm glad he's making effort to earn more income to 'enrich' our lifestyle eg can afford to dine in more expensive restaurants and buy presents for me. (or so he said)

but the thing is, he's been spending more time with his partners/uplines/downlines than with me. even when we're together, it'd most probably be me accompanying him to those mlm talks or 'yam cha' sessions with his partners/uplines/downlines. when i want to go out with him alone or ask him to join my frens, he gives excuses like he doesn't have money and stresses thats why he joined mlm to earn more.

i understand business is very important to a guy. but he is only 18 years old and studying. i believe he shud concentrate more on his studies and let the mlm job comes second, since he said its only part time. but now it seems like mlm and $$ is everything he sees now. he goes home late and neglects his assignments. sometimes even cut classes. but he will never cut a mlm meeting or any yam cha sessions.

our relationship has only become worse since he started. he even started lying to me. its not that i dont want to support my man in his work but how do i do it when the 'work' is taking him away from me? do you support your rivals to steal ur bf/gf away from you?

i tried talking to him abt this but it will end up with him asking me to go with him to all his mlm meetings and yam cha sessions because apparently i dont understand wat he's doing, and also we get to spend time together (yea sitting there next to him listen to them talk is his idea of spending time together.)

am i being very selfish and not understanding? im getting very depressed
