Currently making about $5.5K sgd doing telesales in SG and am a top performer here, however I was recently offered to be a team lead to build, train & manage a new team of salespeople back home in KL, salary offered is rm9k.

Would take it in a heartbeat if salary was matched but my company was not able to offer that.. any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

should i accept job abroad?

garlicpesto — Tue, 23 Feb 2021 17:17:42 +0800

got a good call today.. one of my 10 interviews came through and I was offered a "legal analyst" role. Not my top choice as JD sounds a whole lot more like social media content reviewer (pre-warned during interview that i will be engaging with highly disturbing materials)..

second job in my life and this is based in SG so pay is fairly ok (SGD3.5k+). However I am uncertain as it is contract based (12 months) and my parents are aging as we speak so would prefer to be near them.. worst part is no relocation allowance/expense covered for 14 days SHN at SG eventhou im a PR.

My ideal situation would be to secure a SG paying job that allows remote working but they strictly need me to work at client's site there. Any thoughts and would you make the move if in my shoes? decisions..

applying RSKU without a job

garlicpesto — Wed, 17 Feb 2021 15:22:54 +0800

i am a selangor resident since birth and have savings to DP 50% on a affordable housing. but I currently am unemployed due to covid.. is it still possible to obtain loan and are there any workarounds on the RSKU application itself?

I guess the first step is the RSKU application.. I heard using "old" payslip from ex employer and changing the date might be possible for online submission.. any insights on these?

Good place to buy NEW older model iphone?

garlicpesto — Tue, 02 Feb 2021 18:40:31 +0800

hi, im looking to buy a iphone XS Max 256gb.. are there any known stores/website that still sells sealed units of older iphone models? Was thinking of refurbished units but was told many stores tend to swap out original parts. Thanks!

iphone nerds come in

Thanks

iphone LCD grades?

garlicpesto — Sun, 31 Jan 2021 17:01:52 +0800

my iphone XS fell into salt water recently and currently fixing.. Mobo seems ok.. and they are washing it with isopropyl as we speak but high chance need to replace LCD because my screen keeps flickering in green color.. The shop owner however said I can select few types of LCD replacement:

AAA = cheapest and should avoid
OEM = RM300 - 400 but may have performance issues occasionally
ORI = RM750 original from supplier?

https://shopee.com.my/IPHONE-XS-XS-MAX-LCD-...2399.7549800341

I am wary and just want to know if its worth spending so much extra just for a new screen... sigh and thanks .

do we have coffee market in KL

garlicpesto — Tue, 03 Nov 2020 01:50:49 +0800

like the ones in vietname, indonesia - usually at markets where they will have several local specialty beans. Customers are free to smell them individually and select any weight or amount.

Asking because I'd like to taste different variations of beans and would prefer to purchase more variety in small quantity. Many cafes in MY only sell 250g/500g bags lol.

Hello everyone, I was in the midst of spring cleaning and came across 2 PSB branded speakers.. Was thinking of throwing them away but it seems like a great bookshelf speaker... Any idea if these heads are of any use? Was thinking of using these 2 as my main drivers while connecting it onto a newer vinyl player/bluetooth receiver for the living room.. Thanks in advance!

New pc build issues

garlicpesto — Sun, 04 Oct 2020 03:04:06 +0800

Hello, am a beginner and finally able to piece my first PC build together. Currently im running a Ryzen 2600 (new) & RX 480 powercolor 4gb (used) on a B450M MOBO. Ran into 2 issues:

1) GPU (suspected ex mining card) has warning sign in device manager,dialog shows error 43 (window stopped this device because reported problems)
Current resolution so far:
- installed latest driver from AMD, DDU clean slate, atikmdag patcher.. still same problem..

2) I have 2x sticks of 8gb ram 2666hz on slot A2 & B2, my PC detects total of 16gb, but only (8gb is usable).
not the biggest concern as new pc has been running smooth.

Pain la new PC but so many issues Any help is appreciated

cpu recommendation.. 3100 vs 2600

garlicpesto — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 20:51:37 +0800

Hello, am building my first budget PC and here are my specs below:

B450M Pro 4 Mobo
RX480 8GB Powercolor (used)
8gb 2666mhz g aegis RAM x2 sticks
128GB SSD SATA (used)
1TB HDD 3.5"
Thermaltake TR2 700W (used)

as for CPU, im considering between 3100, 2600 and 3300X. Prices are about RM100+- of each other. Im just a casual gamer (Dota) and PC is for general use daily. My main take here is for futureproofing and looking to max out the lifespan of these products (my current PC is 9 years old). Best case is a upgrade my GPU in the next 2-3 years.

I know 3300X is strong but it being the most expensive.. its out of my budget.. considering between 2600 and 3100 as of now.
3100 RM 450, 2600 RM 550, 3300x RM650 (10% cashback )

Thanks in advance.

budget monitor recommendations

garlicpesto — Sat, 26 Sep 2020 20:31:35 +0800

Hello,

Looking to upgrade my old 20" monitor.. I did my research and have concluded the specifications i'd like for new screen:
- 24 inch
- 75hz preferred due to budget issues, but will consider 144hz if value for money
- curved
- AMD Freesync
-thin bezels would be nice too but not necessary

I dont have a budget but looking to spend minimally as possible.. Current model im highly considering:
Acer EK241Y (RM389 + 5% off from harvey norman)

it meets most requirements except its flat and at 75hz which im okay with if no other options).. there are however some unknown brands on shopee (YUGON) that goes for similar price + curved screen.. but idk about their quality..
