Which college to go to for diploma in CS?

How to proceed with degree after diploma?

shwegdow — Fri, 17 Jan 2020 03:59:53 +0800

I'm kinda thinking way too far ahead but I just want to be secure and have a set plan for the future. Right now, I just finished IGCSEs and was considering to take A-levels but decided against it and to take a diploma in Information Technology at INTI instead. Just wanted to ask, how would I proceed with this diploma? I'm thinking of furthering my studies to a degree in Computer Science but how would I go about it if I were to apply in another institute other than INTI as the university campus is too far for me IMO.

I'm interested in doing the Bachelor's Degree of Computer Science from APU but under it's requirements, it states that diploma from other institutions requires a CGPA of 2.5 and a credit in Add Maths in IGCSEs which I have not taken as a subject. What other alternative universities do I have as an option to take my degree in CS in that is desirably around KL, easily accessible and doesn't necessarily require a credit in Add Maths or is that impossible? The information I've found online about universities that offer CS degrees are pretty confusing and I don't really get it so it would be great if anyone could enlighten me on how to proceed with a diploma from a foreign institute.

Hope my question and its content makes sense :/

What should I do after IGCSEs?

shwegdow — Fri, 25 Oct 2019 02:31:31 +0800

Having my IGCSEs now and I'm starting to think what I should take next year after I get my results. My plan originally was to go to a Japanese Pre-U (Pusat Bahasa Teikyo if you're interested) in KL since I want to further my studies in Japan but now I'm having doubts as my teacher advised me to take A-levels instead as there's more chance for scholarships and qualifications. Now I'm kind of in a dilemma between which one to go, people say A-levels are hard and I'm not very academically smart myself but if I put my mind to it, I can do it given enough time.

I've been researching this Pre-U for quite a while now suddenly having this other option confuses me, I'm fine with either as long as it has the end goal of pursuing studies in ICT in Japan and possibly getting scholarships to lessen studying fees. Any suggestions or opinions below would be appreciated.

I want to take IT but science stream is hard af

shwegdow — Wed, 26 Jun 2019 15:51:26 +0800

So this year is my final year of highschool, year 11/form 5, and I'll be sitting for IGCSEs around the end of October or so. The thing is I'm interested in ICT and it happened that a Japanese Pre-U (Pusat Bahasa Teikyo) came to my school for an education fair. It was like a dream come true since I really wanted to go to Japan and study there but then I see the requirements for science stream is minimum of 5Cs including Add Maths and to pass Chem and Physics. This probably wouldn't have been a problem if I thought more seriously about my career and took my studies more seriously but now here I am with 4 months left.

The problem is I have been dropped out of Add Maths at the beginning of the year because of my bad grades and my Chemistry is quite poor too averaging around D. But to take ICT which is in science stream, you need to take those subjects I mentioned and now I'm kind of backed up against a wall. Is it possible to study all my subjects from beginning within 4 months and at least get C and above? (my grades are pretty average tbh, around c) Because of this, I'm kind of considering taking arts stream now so I don't have to work as hard and since I'm pretty good at business and economics but I want to pursue something in the ICT department. The question is, should I just start revising like crazy in these 4 months or is there an option to take art stream and then learn IT from somewhere else and get a degree? Hope my question doesn't sound stupid

Retailers that sell LG Monitor

shwegdow — Fri, 31 Mar 2017 18:31:12 +0800

I was originally planning to get a BenQ XR3501 but decided to set my eyes on this and now I'm looking for places where I can get this monitor.

Are there any retailer shops in PJ that any of you may know of that sell LG monitors and if possible this monitor in particular? I hope I'm in the right place asking this.

Debating on which GPU to get

shwegdow — Fri, 24 Mar 2017 14:13:39 +0800

So I've been thinking of upgrading in the near future, I'm currently using a ASUS GTX 1060 Dual 6GB and I have 3 options :

A MSI GTX 1070 Gaming X, Zotac GTX 1070 AMP or a Gigabyte GTX 1070 G1 Gaming.
If you were to pick which one should I get and why should I get it?

My case is a Corsair Carbide Spec-03 just in CASE you needed info. *badumtss*

Looking to buy a Oneplus 3T soon but only am going to buy it in person because I don't do online transactions.

Is there any store in PJ that sells or carries Oneplus products?

Corsair Retailer

shwegdow — Wed, 25 Jan 2017 18:24:52 +0800

Thinking of buying a Corsair Strafe RGB MX Blue/Brown somewhere this weekend and would like to know if there's any store in PJ or KL that sells or is a retailer of Corsair. Thought of Gamer's Hideout and messaged them but say got no stock for MX Blue and Brown.

If there is any Corsair retailers that you know that isn't too far from PJ, please do let me know.

Thanks.

Anti-static bag

shwegdow — Wed, 11 Jan 2017 19:40:19 +0800

I'm thinking of trading my GPU sooner or later this year and I was thinking where can I get an anti-static bag in-store in Malaysia (Petaling Jaya) ?

I read on how you can't store your GPU in styrofoam because it generates static. I also can't order online because still too young and no CC hehe.

Sorry for the troubles, just wondering where to get. @@
