[WTA] Buying from Website/Apple store

Sammy6 — Sun, 10 Nov 2024 13:22:29 +0800

Let's say the Macbook configuration that I want is MYR10,000 and not available in Switch/Machine.

I know Apple official site supports installment,
But does it support like, pay MYR 5000 upfront first and the rest as installment via official site or does TRX store supports this payment type?

Thank you in advance for your response

Bike has been fully paid

Sorry this is my first vehicle. Newbie in all these. Any guidance and advice is much appreciated.

Sammy6 — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 22:22:54 +0800

What's a good > 250cc scooter.
Recently just gotten my B full license and is surveying for >250cc scooter.

Currently what caught my eyes in terms of appearance is XMAX 250 but sadly only 250cc.
XADV out of budget
Burgman looks weird
I sat on a SYM Maxsym TL500 last week. Not bad for its specs and size, but I worry about SYM reliability.

come share with me whats good on the market.

EDIT:
Vespa GTS 300 but cruising speed seems lacking compared to XMAX and seen review mention that the handlebar wobbles alot.

How long you take to learn clutch bike

Sammy6 — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 17:00:29 +0800

Hi all, I recently gotten myself a clutch bike after riding scooter/clutchless bike in the past.

There is a steep learning curve to me but lucky didn't drop the bike yet upon stalling

Riding with speed is easy but I have difficulty doing U-turns and slow riding or handling the friction zone. Any tips?
Currently still riding around taman. No confidence to go main road yet.

How long did you take to master clutch bike?

Question #2
I watch youtuber videos, upon them reaching the friction zone, their bike moves itself without holding the throttle..
However, for my bike, upon lingering > 1.5seconds in the friction zone, bike only moves ever so slightly.. then it stalls. Is this normal?

Pulsar 200 vs Duke 200

Sammy6 — Wed, 01 Jun 2022 20:48:32 +0800

Hi guys! I'm looking for a bike to commute between PG Island and Mainland (~40km to and from).

Requirements of a bike.
i .Doesn't look too awkward with a top box installed.. or side box (when needed)
ii. Can commute safely without shaking whenever a bus or wind hits in the middle of the bridge
iii. A straighter riding position. Preferable those sitting position like the Honda ADV 150 or touring bikes.
iv. < 250cc
v. Preferably smth that doesnt cost too much to maintenance and spare parts easy to kaotim
vi. Clutch

A little bg about me in biking.
I am a newbie when it comes to bike. Shy to admit that I have NEVER ridden a clutch bike But I would like to own and learn to ride a clutch bike as my home alrd have a scooter.

Currently I have my eyes on these 2 bikes:

i. Modenas Pulsar NS200 w ABS (~RM10k)
ii. KTM 250 Adventure (RM 24k)

UPDATE 1: I have made some changes on bikes on my list.

Currently I am eye-ing on:
i. Modenas Pulsar NS200 w ABS (~RM10k)
ii. KTM Duke 200 (RM 13k)

I really like the looks and torque that KTM bikes provide. However, the price and maintenance wise of KTM bikes seems to be more expensive.

After researching and surveying around, I stumbled upon a Youtube video by Farhan Tre featuring the Bajaj NS200.
I like it that it fairly resembles the fz150i. Doesn't look out of shape when a top box is installed. And the price and maintenance wont burn a hole in the pocket.

Therefore, I would like to listen to your opinion on these both bikes. Please convince me to wonder away from the KTM hahah jk

Open to bike suggestions as well.

UPDATE 2: I have ordered the Pulsar NS200. Thank you for all the replies and feedbacks. Looking forward to joining the bike community

Hi all, I'm currently looking for a solution to restore windows file/system to previous backed up image by schduele.

Remote Position

Sammy6 — Fri, 07 May 2021 10:11:32 +0800

Hi all, anyone here experience remote work b4?

I'm in the IT field currently working in 9-5 office.

Planning to try out remote position. However the only close experience I have with remote work is WFH during mco.

I really like WFH as I get to manage my time and energy respectively.
Dont need to spend time on commuting to work.
Get to be with closed one.

The downsides are:
I tend to take naps during lunch hour but work is work, so I still put in 8 hours of effort. (Not gonna lie, Productivity decrease when wfh)

Lack of human interaction. Usually in office, siting next to my senior colleague, I would just prompt issues and questions whereas during WFH, there's no one to ask besides Google.
There's also the option to whatsapp or call your colleague, but you know they're busy with work + household stuff too.

So sifu2 sekalian, do share your thoughts on how you cope with remote positons. eg, rent a co-working space?

EDIT
How do you all cope with the social interaction aspect when in a Remote position?

Thank you.
