Laptop Recommendation

GlacierZ — Thu, 09 Jul 2020 12:57:00 +0800

Hi! I'm looking to buy a laptop (soon) for a female user who uses it for design works on Photoshop/Illustrator and able to copy with multitasking artwork research on the web as well. She doesn't game but travels with the laptop a lot so a fairly portable one would be nice.

Budget around RM4K and at the top my my mind am thinking a decent Ryzen + 16gb ram + a decent sized SSD.

Appreciate any recommendations.

Becoming A Policeman

Hello peeps,

What are the requirements for someone to become a policemen. What to do after someone has received their SPM certificate. Are there any special requirements etc? Do they study any sort of subject etc? I'm interested in the step by step process from getting the SPM cert onwards. Thanks~

Computer Science

GlacierZ — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:39:30 +0800

I'm seeking info on behalf of my cousin who recently got his SPM results. Recently his been working in a computer shop and found out he really like computer science and he wants to pursue this course. Unfortunately his results isn't so good (Dota's fault).

BM 5C
BI 4B
History 4B
Science 4B
Maths 9G
Economics 9G
Account 9G
Arts 4B

Question is...
1. Which college/uni whether private/local provides this course. His a malay but I'm not so I'm not sure whether MARA or some other institution provides this course.

2. I heard one need to pass maths to get this course. So, is there anyway that'll help him get it?

3. Worst case scenario, he can't get this course anywhere, any other similar course with lower requirement he can get? He is a computer junkie, plays a lot...

PS: Apparently money is no object o.0

Travelling to Bangkok

GlacierZ — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 19:00:35 +0800

Hi all, my friends and I are planning on a trip to Bangkok, but we didn't want to travel there by plane because it's rather pricey for our backpacking trip. So we decided to travel by train instead... Here's the problem (Difficult to put my multitudes of question in words... )

1. Do we have a direct route to Bangkok from KL? Or we might need to switch trains on the way?
2. Please describe the process from the very beginning (i.e. How to make reservations, where to get the tickets, where to board the train etc)
3. Approximately how long will the journey last?
4. Is there anything we should pay attention to when we are traveling to Bangkok? (i.e. Beware of robbers, remember tickets, get visas, morale values etc)

Thanks~

Cheap Buffet

GlacierZ — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 18:02:23 +0800

It has been a while since my last buffet... I've never worried about the place or price before (mainly because the bill never come my way) but this time it is...

I'm looking for a buffet lunch @ weekends
Somewhere in KL
Price range around 50-70 (nett)
Preferably somewhere near the golden triangle (so we can go shopping! after eating a lot)
Preferable comes with group discount because my group has roughly 20+ ppl.
International spread... Not just Japanese or western... mix-up spread.... plenty of desserts(my own personal greed for sugar)
GOOD FOOD! <- very important... if not...i'll get blamed...lol

Hope you guys can recommend someplace nice... thanks...

Advertising?

GlacierZ — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 16:41:07 +0800

So I'm kinda interested to know more on advertising, but couldn't find any relevant points I'm searching for. I'm not asking in a profoundly moronic way so don't flame me

1. In general, I'm actually interested in advertising from the artistic prospect. I just wanted to know how many types of advertising is there?
2. If I'm interested in advertising but I haven's had any formal educations on arts, what should I do?
3. What are the major differences between marketing and advertising? (Assuming I'm asking what can I do once I enter working world) What they do exactly?
4. In your opinion, do you think advertising has any bright future prospect? (Assuming I'm ordinary in everything)

Thanks

PS: Sorry if I posted this in the wrong section, it's either here or arts and designs section.

Form 6

GlacierZ — Fri, 29 Dec 2006 15:17:57 +0800

Hi, I'm new here in this forum

I recently finished my SPM (thank god) and plan to go Form 6 for the "challenge"... So I was wondering which school has the best reputation for Form 6 (I know the fact the government decides where a person goes).

Some of my friends say colleges (like T.A.R.) provides Form 6 and is better(in term of teaching method, curricular etc) and more "fun" but the fact it'll cost more.

So, if the money factor is taken out of question, which school/college has better reputation for Form 6 in KL?
