Cheaper data than Yoodo's RM12 2GB?

estherkon — Sat, 29 Sep 2018 09:37:48 +0800

My husband and I are currently on Yoodo's monthly plan of RM12 for 2 GB of data, mostly just for WhatsApp. Is there a cheaper plan, say for 1 GB of data per month?

Asking for all soft copies?

estherkon — Sun, 23 Sep 2018 22:38:12 +0800

We saw our photos last week, and selected 21 out of a total of 165! Our package includes soft copies of the 21 selected photos. I was wondering whether anyone tried to purchase all the soft copies after the fact, and what this cost, if you did.

For your reference, ours was a 20-page 21-photo album from Precious Wedding.

Just buy-and-hold?

Does anyone practice just buy-and-hold, using a set of unit trusts with a particular asset allocation? ... Just curious.

Ampoules and eyelashes?

estherkon — Mon, 09 Jul 2018 23:33:46 +0800

Calling brides: I just signed a prewedding photoshoot package with Precious Wedding at SS2. I understand that I need to purchase ampoules and eyelashes and I don't have to buy them from the bridal shop. Does anyone know exactly what one is supposed to purchase? I started searching on Lazada and got totally confused.

Also, if anyone has experience with Precious and have advice to share, I'm all ears!

VOIP phone not working with Digi 150 and Huawei

estherkon — Fri, 08 Jun 2018 09:29:17 +0800

I bought the Huawei B618 from TM. When I had the Unifi SIM card, my Ooma VOIP phone worked. Since I changed to my Digi Infinite 150 SIM card, the VOIP phone doesn't work anymore. And the LAN light on the Huawei blinks. Is there a setting that needs to be changed? HELP please?

Why does a short-to-medium-term bond fund do this?

Mobile broadband?

estherkon — Wed, 23 May 2018 05:23:53 +0800

I'm looking into a high speed internet provider. The problem is that I'm only in Malaysia till December 31. Last year, when I was in Malaysia for 2 months, I went with Unifi, then had to pay a RM500 penalty. I'm wondering if there are other options I'm not aware of.

I will be teaching online in July (using Adobe Connect for synchronous video conferencing). Is mobile broadband fast enough for this purpose? I understand that if I buy the device (about RM299), I wouldn't have a contract.

Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Plans with free roaming?

estherkon — Tue, 24 Apr 2018 08:36:18 +0800

My husband and I will be living in Malaysia for 7 1/2 months. Prior to this, we've only been home for short periods of time and have always gone with Digi Prepaid.

1. We're considering the possibility of only having cellphones and not having home high speed internet. It'll all depend on the cost.
2. We'll also be visiting China for 12 days and trying to figure out whether it's worth just going with a plan that has free roaming and not have to worry about the Great Firewall of China and VPNs and local SIMs.
3. Do all postpaid plans have contracts?

I would very much appreciate some recommendations. Thanks!

Buying Digi SIM Card at KLIA

estherkon — Tue, 13 Feb 2018 01:31:58 +0800

I'd like to call Uber at KLIA. Is there a way to buy a Digi SIM card cheaply at KLIA? I hear that they overcharge you.

Wedding Photography

estherkon — Mon, 09 Oct 2017 00:35:58 +0800

When my husband and I got married in 2004 (13 years ago!), we never did the wedding photography. We're thinking of doing it next year. So no actual day wedding shoot, just sort of a wedding anniversary shoot. Is there a month that's cheaper than others? Can you recommend good wedding photographers/photography studios in the Petaling Jaya area? I'm guessing SS2? Also, any idea how much this would cost (without wedding day shoot)?

Market timing vs. Buy and hold

I'm new to unit trust investing in Malaysia. Just wondering what most forumers do.
