New Thread in Education Essentials

spunkberry — Wed, 04 Mar 2015 05:41:08 +0800

Since there isn't a list of who mods what section, I have to post in here.

Would it be okay to start a new Furthering Studies in the US thread in Education Essentials, even though the thread hasn't even hit 1000 posts? Only, I think there are those of us in agreement that it's cluttered and not very helpful except for specific questions during the discussion ... and heck, it's not even listed in the big FAQ thread quick links list.

What Every Person in a Long Distance Relationship Should Know

QUOTE

Many people believe that long distance relationships are never going to work out. Your family may discourage it, and some of your best friends may advise you not to take it too seriously, in case you get your heart broken.
Nobody says it is going to be easy — the extra distance makes many things unachieveable. Things could get complicated, and you could get sad and lonely at times. However, the extra distance also makes the simplest things the sweetest, being able to hold the other person’s hand, eating together at the same table, feeling each other’s touch, taking a walk together, smelling each other’s hair… these small wishes could suddenly mean so much more in a long distance relationship.

Malay Wedding Gifts

spunkberry — Wed, 14 May 2014 00:40:36 +0800

So I live overseas, but I was invited via social media to a Malay friend's wedding in KL. I generally adhere to the American wedding "policy", where if you were invited to a wedding, you have to send a gift even if you're not attending.

I realize that most gifts are just cash in green packets, but since sending cash internationally is one of the dumbest things you can do, I'm looking for ideas on what else I can send the couple. I only know the bride.

I would prefer to buy from a local Malaysian shop/website to save on postage. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Quote not working

spunkberry — Mon, 02 May 2011 22:25:21 +0800

Don't know why this hasn't been brought up earlier. I used the search function and also checked on FireFox.

When you quote a post in its entirety without editing anything, it quotes fine. However, when you want to split the quoted post into smaller quotes, at least for me, it's not working. I've seen it happen to other users too. What gives?

The Contraceptive (Birth Control) Pill

spunkberry — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 08:28:49 +0800

Disclaimer: I did not write this. This information was written by a fellow moderator on another forum that I moderate and thought would be useful for the Girls' Club section since there seems to be a lot of questions about the Pill. I modified it slightly, but please let me know if there are things that should be corrected as I am not completely familiar with the Malaysian system.

[CENTER]The Contraceptive Pill[/CENTER]
Where can I get the pill?
The contraceptive pill should be given on prescription - it's definitely NOT a good idea to walk into a pharmacy and ask for a certain brand your friend recommended because every woman is unique. What works for one woman will not necessarily work for another. There are two main places that you can and should go to get the contraceptive pill: your gynecologist (GP) or a family planning clinic.

What will happen when I see a doctor about going on the pill?
When you go to your GP/a clinic about going on the pill there are a number of things that you can expect to happen. The doctor will probably have a talk to you about your past sexual experiences and any health problems that you might have, this is so that they can determine whether or not you might be at risk of a sexually transmitted infection and to determine if it is safe for you to go on the pill. Before you get your pill the doctor/clinic nurse will also take your blood pressure and weigh you, this is again just to make sure that it is safe for you to go on the pill.

How many types of pill are there?
While there are many brands of the oral contraceptive pill there are two main types. The most important thing when it comes to the pill is making sure that you are on the one that is best suited to you. It can take a few tries before you find the right one, so if after a month or so of taking it you are still experiencing uncomfortable side effects don’t be scared to go back to your doctor and talk to them about changing. The two main types of pill are the combined oral contraceptive pill and the progesterone only pill.

Combined oral contraceptive pill: Fact File
How does it work?
The combined pill contains two hormones oestrogen and progesterone. These hormones work to stop you ovulating (releasing an egg), making the lining of the womb thinner to prevent a fertilised egg from implanting and thickening the mucus at your cervix to stop sperm getting into your womb.

How effective is the combined pill?
The combined pill is 99% effective if taken perfectly. This means that if 100 women are using the pill perfectly for a year then one of them will become pregnant.

How do I take the combined pill?
There three main types of combined pill that you could be prescribed.
Monophasic 21 day pills: With this pill you will get 21 pills to take. Each of them will contain the same amount of hormone and it doesn’t matter which order you take the pack in. You take the pill for 21 days and then take no pills for the next seven days.

Phasic 21 day pills: This type of pill will again come in packs of 21, however the different pills will contain different amounts of hormones. It is important that you take these pills in order, they will be in two or three different coloured sections. You again take these pills for 21 days and then take a seven day break.

ED (EveryDay pills): ED pills come in packs of 28. In each pack 21 pills will contain hormones and seven will be inactive (contain no hormones). With the ED pill you don’t take a break between packets but it is important that you take the pills in order.

When you go and talk to your doctor about taking the contraceptive pill you can ask them about which pill they think would work for you.

Progesterone only pill: Fact File
How does it work?
The progesterone only pill works in a similar way to the combined pill however it only contains the hormone progesterone. The main ways that the progesterone only pill prevents pregnancy is to thinken the mucus at your cervix to prevent sperm entry and prevent the lining of the womb from becoming thick which reduces the chances of implantation however it is not uncommon for the minipill to also prevent ovulation.

How effective is the progesterone only pill?
Generally the minipill is considered slightly less reliable than the combined pill. However it is still said to have a reliability of about 99%. This means that if 100 women and taking the minipill for a year one of them will become pregnant.

How do I take the progesterone only pill?
Each pill in the pack will contain the same amount of progesterone so you just need to take the pack. You can then start a new pack straight away without taking a break.

How do I start my pack of pills?
You can start the pill at any time in your cycle as long as you are sure that you aren’t pregnant. However there are only certain times where you will get instant protection from pregnancy.

If you take your first pill up to and including the fifth day of your period then you will have immediate protection. If you start the pill at any point during your cycle then you have to use another from of contraception for the first seven days after starting the pill. It is important to not that if you have an unusual or irregular menstrual cycle then you should discuss this with the doctor or nurse before stating the pill.

Is it important that I take my pill at the same time every day?
This depends on the type of pill that you are taking, however it can be useful to take your pill at the same time each day (e.g. as you brush your teeth) because it can help you to remember to take it. Some pills are sensitive enough that if you don't take it within 15 minutes of your usual time, your hormone levels will fluctuate and can result in breakthrough bleeding.

The combined pill: With the combined pill it is important that you take the pill within in the same twelve hour window each day. However it is recommended that you don’t take the pill this irregularly and that you have a three to four hour window each day in which you take the pill.

The progesterone only pill: With the progesterone only pill it is more important that you take your pill at the same time each day. There is a three hour window in which you should take your pill. The exception to this is Cerazette which is a progesterone only pill but has a twelve hour window in which to take it like the combined pill.

What do I do if I miss my pill?
If you are on the combined pill:
This depends how many pills you have missed. If you have only missed one or two pills then you need to take the last pill that you missed as soon as you remember and then finish the pack as normal. You shouldn’t need to use any additional contraception. If you have missed more than two pills then you need to finish the pack as normal but use additional contraception for the next seven days. If when you miss the pill less than seven pills are left in your pack it is advisable that you do not take the usual seven day break and start the next pack when the current one finishes.

If you are on the progesterone only pill:
Your pill is consider late if you take more than three hours late unless you are taking Cerazette in which case if it is more than twelve hours late. If this happens you will not be protected against pregnancy. Take the next pill in your pack as soon as your remember (even if this means taking two pills in one day). Use and additional method of contraception for the next two days.

Read the instructions pamphlet that comes with your pack and make sure to ask your doctor every single question you have.

Is it safe to run two pill packs together (take them without a break)?
It is not harmful to run two or potentially three pill packets together. To do this just start a second pill packet the day after your pill pack finishes and you will be protected against pregnancy. You may experience some spotting (light bleeding) but this isn’t something that you should be concerned about in this situation.

I didn’t bleed during my break week, am I pregnant?
If you have taken your pill correctly then you are unlikely to be pregnant. However if you have any reason to suspect that you might be pregnant it is important that you take a pregnancy test of consult your doctor. If you have two breaks where you do not have a bleed then take a pregnancy test just to be sure.

I am bleeding when I am not meant to be, is something wrong?
When you first start taking the pill it is not uncommon for you to have some bleeding. This is called "breakthrough bleeding". So if this bleeding is happening in the first three months of taking a new pill there is unlikely to be any cause for concern. Bleeding can be caused by missed pills as well as sexually transmitted infections (STI) so if you think you may have been at risk of contracting an STI contact your GP or local family planning clinic.

I am unwell, am I still protected against pregnancy?
Being unwell will only affect your protection if you have diarrhoea or if you have vomited. If you vomit within two hours of taking your pill then it is important that you take a second pill as soon as you feel able to. As long as you do this you should be protected.
If you have diarrhoea for more than 24 hours then you pill may be less effective so continue taking your pill and behave in the same way you would if you had missed a pill using extra protection if necessary.

It is important that if you unwell for any prolonged period of time that you visit your GP.

I am on other medication, is this going to stop my pill being effective?
Most medication is perfectly safe to take with your pill. However certain types could make your pill less effective. Antibiotics can impact on your pills effectiveness, it is important that you use additional methods of contraception while you are taking your antibiotics and for seven days after you finish. If your pill packet ends during your course of antibiotics or will do in the seven days following continue straight on to your next packet without taking a break. Seek advice from a healthcare professional if you are in the first week of your pill packet and you have had sex recently as you may need emergency contraception or if you are on antibiotics fo more than two weeks. Other types of medication that can effect your pill are HIV,TB or epilepsy treatment or St Johns Wort (a herbal treatment for depression).

It is important that if you are prescribed any medication you inform the doctor of all the medication including the pill that you are on. If you have any concerns talk to the prescribing doctor or your pharmacist.

An important note:
It is important to note that the contraceptive pill does not protect you against sexually transmitted infections. If you have had unprotected sex with someone when you don’t know if they are clear from STIs the it is important that you contact your GP or local GUM clinic for an STI test.

Enough Whining Already.

spunkberry — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 03:16:49 +0800

Disclaimer: This is a generalization and possibly a stereotype ... but these are all based on truths at some point.

This is an article about "Nice Guys" vs "Jerks", the terms used by people who like to talk about women walking all over "nice guys" and preferring to date "jerks". I don't know how much clearer you want this to be. Using "nice guys" is NOT misleading. There are the insecure "nice guys" and the "genuine nice guys"

I also NEVER claimed this to be my own - http://www.heartless-b****es.com/rants/nic.../niceguys.shtml

Why "Nice Guys" are often such LOSERS

You hear it all the time: "He was such a NICE Guy, and she's such a Heartless b**** for dumping him."

I get letters from self-professed Nice Guys, complaining that women must WANT to be treated like shit, because THEY, the "Nice Guy" have failed repeatedly in relationships. This is akin to the false logic that "Whales are mammals. Whales live in the sea. Therefore, all mammals live in the sea."

If you have one bad relationship after another, the only common denominator is YOU. Think about it.

What's wrong with Nice Guys? The biggest problem is that most Nice Guys ™ are hideously insecure. They are so anxious to be liked and loved that they do things for other people to gain acceptance and attention, rather than for the simply pleasure of giving. You never know if a Nice Guy really likes you for who you are, or if he has glommed onto you out of desperation because you actually paid some kind of attention to him.

Nice Guys exude insecurity -- a big red target for the predators of the world. There are women out there who are "users" -- just looking for a sucker to take advantage of. Users home-in on "Nice Guys", stroke their egos, take them for a ride, add a notch to their belts, and move on. It's no wonder so many Nice Guys complain about women being horrible, when so often the kind of woman that gets attracted to them is the lowest form of life...

Self-confident, caring, decent-hearted women find "Nice Guys" to be too clingy, self-abasing, and insecure.

Nice Guys go overboard. They bring roses to a "lets get together for coffee" date. They try to buy her affections with presents and fancy things. They think they know about romance, but their timing is all wrong, and they either come-on too strong, too hard and too fast, OR, they are so shy and unassertive, that they hang around pretending to be "friends", in the hope that somehow, someway, they will get the courage up to ask her out for a "date".

They are so desperate to please that they put aside their own needs, and place the object of their desire on a pedestal. Instead of appreciating her, they worship her. We are only human, and pedestals are narrow, confining places to be -- not to mention the fact that we tend to fall off of them.

They cling to her, and want to be "one" with her for fear that if she is out of sight, she may disappear or become attracted to someone else. A Nice Guy often has trouble with emotional intimacy, because he believes that if she learns about the REAL person inside, she will no longer love him.

Nice Guys are always asking HER to make the decisions. They think it's being equitable, but it puts an unfair burden of responsibility on her, and gives him the opportunity to blame her if the decision was an unwise one.

Nice Guys rarely speak up when something bothers them, and rarely state clearly what it is they want, need and expect. They fear that any kind of conflict might spell the end of the relationship. Instead of compromising and negotiating, they repeatedly "give in". When she doesn't appreciate their sacrifice, they will complain that, "Everything I did, I did for her.", as if this somehow elevates them to the status of martyrs. A woman doesn't want a martyr. She wants an equal, caring, adult partner.

Nice Guys think that they will never meet anyone as special as she is. They use their adoration as a foundation for claiming that "no one will ever love her as much as I do." Instead of being a profound statement of their devotion, this is a subtle, but nasty insult. It is akin to saying to her: "You are a difficult person, and only *I* can ever truly love you, so be thankful I'm here."

The nice guy -needs- to believe that he is the best person for the object of his desires, because otherwise his insecurities will overrun him with jealousies and fear. The truth of the matter is that there are many people out there who can be a good match for her. We rarely stop loving people we truly care about. Even if we no longer continue the relationship, the feelings will continue... But love isn't mutually exclusive. We can (and do) love many people in our lives, and romantic love is really no different. Though he may love her immensely, there will likely be other people who have loved her just as much in her past, and will love her just as much in the future. The irony of it all is: "Who would want to go out with someone who was inherently unlovable anyways?"

More than loving the woman in his life, a Nice Guy NEEDS her. "She is my Life, my only source of happiness..." YECH! What kind of a burden is that to place on her? That SHE has to be responsible for YOUR happiness? Get a grip!

Another mistake Nice Guys make is to go after "hard luck" cases. They deliberately pick women with neuroses, problems, and personality disorders, because Nice Guys are "helpers". A Nice Guy thinks that by "helping" this woman, it will make him a better, more lovable person. He thinks it will give him a sense of accomplishment, and that she will appreciate and love him more, for all his efforts and sacrifice. He is usually disappointed by the results.

This ultimately boils down to the fact that Nice Guys don't like themselves. Is it any wonder women don't like them? In order to truly love someone else, you must first love yourself. Too often Nice Guys mistake obsession for "love".

Get this Guys: INSECURITY ISN'T SEXY. IT'S A TURNOFF.

You don't have to be an ego-inflated, arrogant jerk. You just have to LIKE yourself. You have to know what you want out of life, and go after it. Only then will you be attractive to the kind of woman with whom a long-term relationship is possible.
~~~

And the whole LOT of you, with a few exceptions, disgust me with your insecurities.
Grow up.

Recent CC activity

spunkberry — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 02:58:02 +0800

Recently I was part of a giant flame war against one particular user. Sure, I shouldn't have gotten into it, but at one point I didn't want to take that user sitting down so I retaliated. I refrained towards the last legs of it ... but something struck me funny. Why were non-CC moderators involved in "invisibling" that one thread? Where was Baronic? I hadn't seen him at all in CC for the past week (and I'm in CC every day) and only today I see him closing threads.

Are there not enough mods? Where was Baronic?

Hotmail to Microsoft Outlook

spunkberry — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:41:11 +0800

I use Microsoft Outlook and it downloads my hotmail emails no problem. My question is: how do I transfer my storage folders over to Outlook?

The folders that I use are visible in Outlook, but their contents are not there. But when I log into Hotmail, the stored emails are still there. How do I transfer them to Outlook without having to forward each single one? I mean, it's already strange that Outlook would display the folders but not have anything in them, when Hotmail obviously has them.

Taylor's University College Summer 2009 Courses

spunkberry — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 01:24:00 +0800

I've sent Taylor's an email asking about their summer courses for 2009 because I'm thinking of transferring from my university to Taylor's for the summer. I am, however, ill-informed on how to go about transferring credits and am quite fearful that the classes in Taylor's are not the equivalent to what I need here at Purdue. Is there a more personal email I can send my questions to? Or is this just Malaysian leniency happening again?

Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Adapter for DS

spunkberry — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:49:40 +0800

Okay I bought one last year ... and it worked fine. Installed and everything on my laptop. I got it because I can only access the internet on campus with it, seeing that the wireless on campus is username and password protected. I then reformatted my comp this summer because it was falling apart and in dire need of one anyway. Now it won't install.

I gave up then ... and tried again tonight ... which is months later. Now my laptop doesn't even detect my adapter when plugged in. You know that sound the comp makes when you plug hardware in? That low beep followed by a higher one? Yeah, now it plays a low beep followed by a lower one and my comp fails to detect it anywhere. I was running the install drivers and when it asked to plug the adapter in, I did ... but an error popped out demanding that I shove my adapter in. But it was already in! so my installation ended with an application error, since my comp couldn't detect the adapter.

Is there any reason why it's doing this? Does this mean I have to get a new one?

Love isn't Rocket Science

I'm a frequenter here in CC, and I've basically seen most of what I could possibly see in this section of the forum. Oftentimes, the problems I've seen here can and should be solved with just a little more COMMUNICATION. Seeing that most people lack that, apparently, they come in here whinging about things that can really be resolved in minutes if they wanted it to be.

Is it really that hard to talk to the other person?

It seems that most people think love is so difficult and is basically the equivalent of rocket science. No, I'm not claiming to be a Know-It-All, but sometimes, reading can help a lot and some behaviors are PREDICTABLE. There are always exceptions, but you can pretty much assume that men think this way, women think this way ... without going overboard as to say they ALL behave a certain way because I know how annoying it can get - me being a girl who doesn't think like other girls getting labeled like one of them.

So what's your say? Is love really rocket science in disguise? Or are people just making it tougher than it's supposed to be?
