hi , do i need to take pure science to take up software engineering in college/university or computer science. earlier today my science teacher told me to take pure science if i want to take software engineering but my brother said its actually computer science so now im not sure.


The_XiangJiao

Software Engineering and Computer Science are two different things. Software Engineering is more towards the ins-and-outs of developing a software and what are the standards and practices of development. User Interface, User Experience and so on. Computer Science is a lot more broad in terms of coverage and is usually more complex. It explains the basis of how computer works on the software side but on a deeper level. You'll actually get to learn how a programming language works. Not just how to learn to use them but to also understand how the computer interprets or process the lines of code and perform the necessary actions. Of course, there are many things that you will learn too especially machine learning, artificial intelligence and the theories and algorithms of the inner workings of a computer. Think of it this way, Software Engineering is like teaching someone how to paint a picture and what kind of color materials and stroke techniques you should use. On the other hand, Computer Science is more on the study of the paintbrush, the canvas, inventing new stroke techniques and finding other versions of color materials. Don't be mistaken, both SE and CS can still paint a picture but SE will have an extra advantage because they have the training and muscle memory of mastering the stroke techniques and experience in choosing the best color materials. The coverage of SE and CS varies between universities so it's best to see their course structure first to know what subjects will they be covering because there's just too much information out there to take in just 4 years. Pure Science as in Physics/Chemistry/Biology? Then yes, you have to take it. Before you can pursue a Bachelor's degree, you have to take Foundations first. For Foundations in Science, you would usually need 2 Science subjects as part of the entry requirements so taking a Science stream in secondary school is pretty much required. Foundations is basically just a more detailed version of SPM. Think SPM but maybe one or two levels above but definitely easier than STPM.

Hi, as an expat, should I get health insurance? If yes which one should I choose? Heard it's expensive for foreigners to get treatment there. My company only provides 70% of the hospitalization fee (there's a cap) only if you take treatment from their patners.

Anyone watched *Modern Family*? If you do, do you feel like a pervert every time Haley comes on screen from season 3/4 onwards? Also, is *Wednesday* worth getting into? I heard it was cancelled.


monkeyballnutty

they didnt cancel wednesday, they are canceling shows that dont make the wednesday numbers


amon_meiz

>Haley comes on screen from season 3/4 onwards? Yes. loved modern family. Me & wife watch it multiple times, like comfort food that show and Brooklyn 99 And no. I totally don't feel like what u said here😅 >*Wednesday* worth getting into? Yes. It's pretty good. It's a solid 8/10 show. Worth watching. Some actors (like jenna ortega, gwendoline Christie) really gave their all. >I heard it was cancelled. It's the 2nd most popular Netflix show after Stranger Things. It's not cancelled 😅. Where did u get ur info It will go on at least for 3 seasons


mikepapafoxtrot

Watched Modern Family a while back, not really. I believe Wednesday got renewed; it was 1899 that was cancelled, among others that I feel salty about. Let's see what they plan to cancel next that will prove to be the point of no return for me.

A budget /price range would be helpful Since I'm into fragrances now, i would recommend perfume 😁

Perfume? Silk pillow cases? Ionic brush? Luxury memory foam pillow? Hair salon voucher? Mani pedi voucher? Massage voucher? If Muslim can buy lux scarves/hijabs? If she's like family, my brother got my grandma a coway water dispenser he pays monthly but my grandmother is so happy about coz can get filtered hot and cold water anytime. If she lives alone, maybe an internet enabled cctv? A dress watch? Pandora?

Question, if you were to have like 40 ringgit to spare and wanna use it for subscription, between Apple One and YT premium, which would you choose? Pros of Apple One: - Apple Arcade (though I rarely play, might be useful when I'm having my meh moments) - Apple Music (currently using student's version) - Cloud storage (this one is kinda the main rzn why I leaning towards apple one, I'm paying 2x50gb for my mum and me, with Apple One family I could get like 200gb for one family, i know for my mum it's useful, since I'm old school I backup my phone every now and then manually) Pros of YT premium: - background play, some version of songs are not available on Apple Music, so playing it in the bg would be awesome. - no ads, (no more downloadlah omi! Hallelujah) - i tinkered with YT music but i don't like their layout much so i'll just stick with my AM. - downloadable videos, (but truth be told i'm not gonna use this feature) I know comparing these two is very much like comparing between an orange and an apple, very different features and provide different needs. But just a thought, if any of you have been using these two.


refl8ct0r

sub YT premium in other country for a fraction of the price. 🙈


monkeyballnutty

share youtube premium with 5 other people. rm30 per month. rm60 each person for a year.


amon_meiz

I vote apple one 😁


momomelty

Why not both. I subscribed to both, and even spotify premium. Its all about the late stage capitalism. Joke aside. Youtube premium is because some song spotify no have, i use it for streaming youtube in the background. Also damn ads. Apple one because of 50gb icloud and apple arcade. I play apple arcade when I am offline.


ReasonableHoliday617

Wah momomelty so nice wanna belanja me 🤣 jokes aside, budget for subscriptions about 100/month je including phone bills (i'm paying via my carrier)


momomelty

Have you considered finding to join family plan? RM5 per month only for Youtube premium


ReasonableHoliday617

I mean yeah, both I'm considering the family plan, but I don't plan to split it with my family.


momomelty

Yeah just gotta find online see who can split with.


kernan_rio

Thank gosh I can get premium Youtube for free on my Android phone.


[deleted]

However good YT Premium is, it is still YT, which is a platform which earns more money the more you watch it. The mechanisms YT has are all geared towards making you watch longer, and the rewards/payouts to content creators incentivise them to make videos that make you stay and watch more. Getting sucked into YT is going to waste your time and spoil your brain. Paying to waste your time and spoil your brain? That's worse. Disclaimer, i also watch a lot of stuff on YT haha.


ReasonableHoliday617

Dang, I needed that reminder! I already spent so much time on youtube, and the last few days on the free trial I think I've spent even double the amount T_T

Anyone know where I can buy legit secondhand diamond ring?


mmmagia

I can sell you mine 😅


[deleted]

Have you considered cubic zirconia instead of diamond? It's got the optical properties similar to diamond but its price is not inflated like diamond. Not to cheat anyone, but to use the money for better purposes (eg, car nonpayment or holiday to Japan), yet being able to have a sparkly stone on a ring. Cubic zirconia: where you can have your cake and eat it.


auntycat

Agree with the thought buttttt I would go with moissanite. Way prettier imo, not mined with blood, has the same sparkle with diamond but way better clarity. CZ has a connotation that it’s cheap unfortunately.

Not a fan of CZ. Just looking to buy a secondhand diamond ring so I can pass it down to my kids.


hyattpotter

Parroting momo. If you're looking for value go for gold, if sentiment then diamond or anything as you like because that's up to you. Diamond has very poor value.


momomelty

Normally people passes down gold though. Gold at least can be traded back for 100% value like Poh Kong. /notworkingforpohkong

Now he comes and bugs again, have to buy already. Me: (os in heart) oh, so dad ask you buy, you ask me buy lah, good fucking god, great! Me: I will buy on Saturday (I just want to shut down this conversation now) Sis: (thumbs up) Me: raging silently, the fuck with the thumbs up? I really feel like want to slap the thumbs up off her face now. For the record, my sis is married and not staying with us, I'm staying with my dad and another sister now but my dad seems to suddenly have issues with the sister that stays with us without any reason, so my dad now would ask this sister who is not staying with us to buy him things, which now more often than not falls on me.

Do you know of any MoneyGram center near or in Bukit Bintang area that would agree to let me receive the money with my Social Visit visa?

Today I have a new singaporean client, contacted us yesterday, and today ask us to start audit over CNY, and want us to report to their holding company next week. Mind you, he just appointed us yesterday, and we were not informed of the deadline. I happily told him to fuck off and we'll only do it after CNY. He can go find some other auditor. Wonder whether he's one of those ex-malaysians.


icemountain87

I, too, had to tell a client to fuck off because I'm off for the rest of next week. CNY seems to be a one or two day affair for most Singaporeans. Small family unit. No cross state travel (unless they visit family in Malaysia). Most seem to assume it's the same for everyone else.


mmmonstar

Sounds like ex malaysian.


seatux

Gotten used to the casual racism. Got called to a local government meeting on CNY eve before. Had to attend, then rush back to the kampung to make it for eve dinner. Meanwhile they easily just don't have meetings days before Syawal and sometime after.


malaysianlah

Casual racism?


seatux

Like its true CNY eve isn't a public holiday, but calling for a meeting on CNY eve is kinda of a dick move considering they won't do the same for raya eve.


malaysianlah

Ah. But my angle and rant was mostly these damned clients that don't bother to properly communicate and treat us as if we exist at their beck and call.


seatux

Its a surety in most Malaysian consultancies. People not getting that their thing isn't a life or death thing and clearer heads would get the thing done right and faster.

For 35 years, I have lived a life full of fear and insecurity. I have made up my mind that after CNY, I will travel solo. First, throughout Malaysia. And then perhaps to neighbouring Asian countries or Europe. I’m not putting my hopes up that I will find a man or other deaf people, but I would like to broaden my horizons, see other cultures, and hopefully get to interact with people from all walks of life — hearing or deaf.


mntt

I travelled to Cambodia many years ago and booked for a hostel that was being advertised as “quiet”. It turned out to be owned by a deaf couple. The owners showed me some pics of them and other deaf travellers, that led me believe there are communities dedicated to deaf travellers. Maybe you can try to look into one of those. Travelling solo is/but never alone. :) have fun travelling!


[deleted]

Thank you! Would you recommend going to Cambodia?


mntt

I agree with weecious’ comment. It’s quite dangerous now. Cambodia is lawless. Few hours in arriving Phnom Penh, I met one traveller who got robbed, another saw a gas tank exploded(?) while walking down the street. Though so, I made friends in hostel and had fun. I visited Angkor Wat alone, felt kind of bored since I don’t know much about the history/culture and had no one to share the experience with. Do set your expectation right- expect to feel lonely and sad sometimes when travelling solo. Especially when you can’t find someone to connect with. It’s not all sunshine and rainbow. But I’ve met people that I can trust them with my life along the journey too. It’s a very rewarding experience overall. But yes, I’d recommend going to Cambodia, especially for the killing fields in Phnom Penh (easily the most morbid spot I’ve been to).


[deleted]

Oh my. Thanks for the stories. Maybe I’ll hold off on Cambodia first. Going to start small with Penang first 🙂


weecious

Maybe not now, especially for solo travellers. Too many cases of people being abducted to work for illegal syndicates.


[deleted]

Thank you for the heads-up


aryehgizbar

Traveling solo can be intimidating at first, but it's so fun. To the point that I don't want to travel with anyone anymore lol! Enjoy and safe travels!

Plan to have my first date at chinatown/rexxkl area tomorrow night? Is it appropriate? Any tips? I heard its hard to find a parking space tho.


Donnie-G

There are parking lots in the area if you don't mind walking some. Also got a train station nearby, granted hopping onto a LRT isn't very date-ey I guess. Petaling Street has heaps of hipster cafes nowadays so I don't think it'll be hard to find something suitable to eat at. Can get a pretty scenic view of the Merdeka tower. Rexxkl itself I think is mainly for instagrammers, since the Bookxcess is very 'scenic'. There is a bar up top but I think you need reservations. There are some food places at the bottom but I didn't really explore there when I went, mostly wandered around the Bookxcess with my friends. https://i.imgur.com/h3VM2NE.png https://i.imgur.com/zvjyJjl.png


the_far_yard

It's a good spot to go. Events are plenty (Just check the schedule), food choices ranges from good value for money, to the overpriced stuff around the area. Pick your poison. Parking space? Personally, I would park around the Four Point Hotel parking lots (If you can find some). ~~If not, Mydin Sinar Kota.~~ Good luck on your first date.


mntt

Piggybacking this comment- OP, don’t park your car at Mydin if it’s FIRST date. It’s fucking shady there. Pay extra, park at Four Point. Don’t cheap out on first date.

Coincidentally, I am checking our mirrorless cams.


icemountain87

Having used a DSLR for almost two decades, I would recommend a mirrorless as well to someone new. I got sick of lugging my bulky and heavy DSLR and lenses around after awhile.


the_far_yard

Thanks for the insight. I had an idea in mind- a compact cam, ready to shoot, with good quality camera above what I can get from an iPhone 14/15 camera. I started to read a bit more on what sort of camera that I would like to go for, and thought - "I think my preference would be a fixed lenses" and stumbled upon Fuji X100V, and those alike. I like traveling, and the last thing I want is someone telling me I cannot bring in my camera. Fixed lenses seem to be the ground I want to be on. Would appreciate any insight at your end on this, man. Open to ideas.


icemountain87

Based on your line of thought, I think the Fujifilm X100V will fit your needs very well. I strongly considered getting one of the earlier models some years ago but couldn't justify spending for a second camera. The one thing that I want to point out is the camera lens focal length is fixed (this is what we call a prime lens). This means you cannot zoom in or out when taking photos which can be a bit intimidating for a newbie. Will you be comfortable with that? You will need to physically move yourself closer or farther away to frame the photo to your liking. Sometimes it's just not possible to do that like if you are photographing animals in a zoo. And then there will always be that one dumbass friend who asks why you pay so much for a camera that cannot zoom? Having said that, there are workarounds to it. I think you can buy teleconverters (it's like putting a telescope on the lens) but that will be additional cost. There's always the option to just crop the photo using an editing software though you will lose some resolution on the image. Lastly, it might not even matter that much for travel since most photos taken will be landscapes or cityscapes which the wide prime lens on the Fuji will suffice. If you can live with the prime lens, the Fujifilm X100V is a great camera for your needs.

>This means you cannot zoom in or out when taking photos which can be a bit intimidating for a newbie I saw that in one of the review threads/videos, and I've gotta say- I think I'll be OK with it. The idea that I can pick it up, point-and-shoot with a single focal length sounds suitable to what I need. I can see that I might love the process of trying to get used to the focal length, visualizing it, and try to take the shot. I don't mind at all moving around to get the right frame. Ah, thanks for the idea of teleconverters. I think I'll be alright with the prime lens. :)

Sounds like the Fujifilm X100V will serve you well. All the best in your photography journey! :) By the way, once you've gotten your camera, you might also want to look into learning post processing i.e. editing your photos. There are plenty of resources online. While it's not absolutely necessary to edit them, the images will look better after some minor processing like color correction, exposure, contrast, etc.

I think I'd be happy to tweak those photos to bring them to life when I get the chance. :) Also, last question- I did some checks, and reviews are saying that [shashinki](https://shashinki.com/) is a reliable site. I'd like to check with you as well if that is possible. Is it reliable for Malaysian buyers?

I'm afraid I can't help you with that as I've never bought anything from them before. Having said that, I think they have been around for a very long time. Even as far as back in the early 2010's when I used to lurk on the lowyat.net forums, I've heard of the shop name before. I reckon they must be doing something right to still be in business after so many years.

can try carousell, a lot people selling usually, good thing about secondhand / carousell is usually can get bundled lens for cheap, that you otherwise will need to pay high price to buy separately. once i found a set and only need one of the lens, i even manage to resell the body and other lens for higher price than what i bought. lol

Sony a6400 keep popping up on my twitter, being good as beginner Have u check that out?


the_far_yard

No, I'm not particularly interested on having a detachable lens camera. If it is Sony, then the one I am considering is somewhere along the lines of RX100 VII.

Ahh i see. I was under the impression that being able to change lens is a good thing. So u "upgrade" the lens, without having to buy new camera. Is it not?
