Penggantian Kartu Debit CIMB NIAGA Yang Sudah Expired

Beberapa hari yang lalu kan lagi butuh duit cash. Jadi langsung cus deh gw ke ATM terdekat. Sayangnya pas udah key in jumlah yg gw mau, eh Kartu Debit gw auto keluar dari mesin. Kan aneh ya. Ya udah deh coba lagi. Masih sama dong mental keluar jg dari tempat kartu wkwkwk.

Setelah ditelusuri ternyata Kartu Debit gw udah expired beberapa bulan. Maklum lah ya. Udah lama kita ga bayar pake Kartu Debit lagi kan? Paling Kartu Kredit. Kalo ngga ya pake E-Money deh kaya si OVO, Shopee Pay maupun Gopay. Ya mana ngeh si debit kapan expirednya.

Hokinya org dibelakang gw cm satu. Jadi ga malu-malu amet gagal tarik uang wkwkwkw. So ujung2nya gw minta ijin ke boss buat ke bank buat memperbaharui Kartu Debit gw yg sudah expired keesokan harinya.

Pas gw sampe di bank, di assist sama satpam buat ambil nomor giliran. Hokinya saat itu ada 2 teller Customer Service dan cuma 1 yang occupied. Jadi ga pake lama udah deh giliran gw.

Nah pas gw sampe, gw kasih deh itu nomor antrian, Kartu Debit Lama sama KTP gw. Trus si mba Customer Service tanya apa gw jg bawa Buku Tabungan gw. Ya kali aja gw bawa. Toh gw pikir kan cuma pembaharuan. Asal ada Kartu Debit lama sama KTP buat nunjukkin bahwa gw tuh memang owner sebenar ya cukup. Buat apa bawa Buku Tabungan. Ekstra banget. Toh itu Buku Tabungan jg kosong krn ga pernah gw bawa buat print. Bisa dibilang kosong banget.

Jadi yg diperlukan buat memperbaharui Kartu Debit CIMB Niaga yg sudah expired tuh: Kartu Debit Lama, KTP  sama Buku Tabungan. Bawa 3 itu ya.

Berhubung gw udah sampe dan emang KTP gw asli kan ya, diproses deh sama mba-nya. Dia bilang laen kali mendingan bawa aja tu Buku Tabungan. Biar bisa diancurin trus diganti jadi E-Statement. Buat apa jg ya pikir gw. Toh skrg kan jg uda ada aplikasi OCTO Mobile. Bisa langsung liat transaksi apa aja yg gw ada. Ngapain apply e-Statement email lagi? Kebanyakkan ga si? Wakakaka.

Pokoknya puji Tuhan masih di proceed hehe. Trus berhubung kartu gw kan udah lama, sekalian mba e memperbaharui data gw lagi deh. Gw difoto trus perlu isi formulir gitu, sambil update skrg gw kerja dimana, jalan apa, posisi apa, trus tandatangan dll dan voila. Kartu lama dipotong and DONE!

Tidak dikenakan biaya apapun ya. Alias FREE! Yes. FOC! Ga tau krn kartu gw emang sudah expired atau kalau deket2 tanggal mau expired jg gratis atau ngga. Kalian bisa coba tanya melalui twitter mereka atau telpon customer service.

Agak happy berhubung kartu lama gw bagian laminatingnya udah mulai keluar. Jadi kan seneng gitu lho kartu gw jadi keliatan kinclong lagi. Udah gitu designnya jg lebih cakep. Hehehe.

Gw dapetnya Kartu Debit yg berlogo Mastercard. Gatau gmn mereka nentuinnya. Krn abis jadi jg gw baru sadar kalo ada satu tipe lagi. Yaitu Kartu Debit yg berlogo GPN. Baru tau pas lagi mau cari foto buat ditaro di postingan ini. Yep seperti gambar yg dibawah ini. Ada yang tau bedanya apa?

Kalo gw ga salah baca ya itu yg berlogo GPN lebih user friendly buat org yg sering pake Kartu Debit di mesin EDM maupun ATM di Indonesia. Jadi dia bisa kebaca di mesin2 EDM dan ATM yang ada di Indonesia.

Meanwhile kalo yg Kartu Debit berlogo Mastercard, dia lebih cocok buat dipakai sama org yang suka berpergian ke luar negeri. Buat lebih detail bisa klik DISINI ya.

Ga gitu efek banyak sih ke gw. Toh spt yang sudah gw katakan di awal, skrg lebih sering pake E-Money sama Kartu Kredit. Jadi jarang banget sentuh Kartu Debit.

Oh iya, kan pas nungguin mba e ketik2 ini itu, gw msg-an sama temen di M'sia. Ya dia bilang deh ngapain gw ke kaunter. Ternyata kalo disana tuh udah ada self service machine. Wkwkwkw. To which pas gw otw pulang, gw ngeliat 1 bank yang lagi dalam renovasi punya mesin yg bertuliskan mesin pengganti kartu.

Panjang umur ya. Brarti bank laen di Indo jg punya mesin begituan. Gatau deh BCA sama CIMB ada ga. Apa gara2 cabang yg gw datengin itu bukan cabang utama ya? Makanya manual? I don't know.

Anyway, ayo cek masa berlaku Kartu Debit anda semua! Kalo mau bisa sekalian cek expiry date buat SIM dan Kartu Debit bank laen. Kalo Kartu Kredit sih lebih aman ya. Krn kan auto dikirim sama bank. Hahaha.

That's all. Happy Weekend all!

 

Update Rekening BCA

Ada suatu sore, sekitar jam 3-an dimana gw terima telpon dari unknown number. Biasanya si gw biarin aja. Tp gatau kenapa hari itu gw ada urge buat ngangkat. Hahahaha..Tadinya kirain telpon dari bank buat nawarin pinjaman, asuransi ato kartu kredit. Tp kali ini beneran beda.

Gw disuruh buat update info gw di cabang Bank BCA terdekat. Katanya skrg setiap nasabah perlu update info. Disuruh ambil foto gitu. Agak aneh pikir gw. Kenapa pas account bikin ga langsung aja. Why after years?? Ya udah gw nanya koko gw sama beberapa temen sekantor apa mereka jg dapet telpon dari BCA. But no. None of them ditelpon BCA. LOLOLOLOL. Walau ada beberapa yg bilang pas mereka ganti kartu baru ya kena foto sama org BCA-nya.  

Krn masih ragu scam apa ngga. Ya udah lah gw cek tu nomor di Google. Nyatanya ga ada nomor itu. But eits tunggu dulu. Nomornya agak mirip2 sama nomor kantor cabang yg agak deket sama gw. Beda satu nomor di ujungnya.

Since ga salah kalo meluangkan waktu buat ngecek di BCA-nya sendiri, gw memutuskan buat pergi pas jam makan deh. Mumpung di kantor pas PSBB nggak gitu sibuk.

OOT but seriously gw suka banget sama satpam di lantai 2 bank BCA yg gw pergiin. RAJIN WOI satpam-nya. I LIKEY! Hoki ya bank BCA bisa hire org kaya gini semangat kerja. Ngeliat jg jadi ikutan semangat. In fact I'm liking their satpam attitude di cabang ini. Bagian ATM jg pada baek banget bukain pintu sgala sambil bilang selamat pagi ato selamat apa kek. So sweet ya. Apa ini SOP mereka? Anyway...

Pas gw sampe ke lantai 2 dimana itu bagian Customer Service, si satpam langsung deketin gw donk. Nanya gw mau ngapain. So gw jelasin kalo gw terima panggilan dari org yg katanya dari Bank BCA, nyuruh gw dateng ke Bank BCA terdekat buat ambil foto, update data gw. Tp entah belom ada case spt gw ato gmn, satpamnya agak bingung but he still being so accomodating. Gw dipersilakan duduk di tempat duduk. Sambil bilang nanti gw bisa nanya ke bagian cust service. Ga basa basi, dia bilang mgkn cust service bisa menjawab.

Saat itu org ga gitu banyak dan ga gitu dikit jg sih. Just nice. Terus ga lama dia datengin gw lagi donk. Nanya apa gw mau ngapain lagi selain mau nanya masalah pembaharuan data tadi. So mumpung gw belom punya mobile banking, gw bilang deh mau activate mobile banking gw.

And wah ternyata ga usah lewat customer service buat activate mobile banking. How nice! So while waiting for my turn to meet the customer service kakak, he suggested that I go to the most end of the room to activate my mobile banking first. Di pojok ada satu mesin gitu sama ada yg jaga. Disono cuma perlu tunjukkin ATM sama KTP. Perlu HP juga buat login mobile banking. Ikutin arahan ketik2 di mesin sama di HP. Beres deh. Cepat sekali. Mantap!

Balik lagi deh ke tempat duduk. And ga lama si satpam muncul lagi. Nanyain nomor antrian gw. LOL.Gatau napa dia ambil nomor gw. Tp somehow dia pegang tu nomor antrian sambil ke counter meja kakak-kakak bagian cust service. Soon enough nomor gw muncul di screen. Pergi deh ke counter mengikut nomor yg muncul di screen TV.

Thankfully kakak bagian customer service-nya cepet ngerti. Tunjukkin deh si ATM sama KTP. Abis itu langsung difoto. Dan karena kartu ATM gw masi tipe yg lama banget, dia bilang deh mau gantiin ATM gw ke yg baru. Slama ini sih tuh kartu masih bisa kepake. Makanya gw ga pusing banget. But dia bilang mau gantiin. Ya udahlah ganti aja. Dipotong jadi 2 deh tu kartu BCA gw yg lama. Diganti dengan yg baru. Wohhoo~

Begitulah cerita gw dapet kartu ATM baru. Semua ini tanpa bayaran sama sekali ya. Happy juga. Krn setau gw kalo ganti kartu perlu bayar deh. Pas di Malaysia sih. Disini baru pertama kali gw ganti kartu. Jadi ga tau kalo bukan kesalahan dari kita perlu bayar apa ngga. Kalo yg jaman dulu kan ga ada expiry date-nya. Makanya ga pernah ganti2. Jadi ga pernah tau beginian kena charge apa ngga.

Anyway menurut si CS, kita perlu update data kalau sebelumnya belom pernah difoto. Dia bilang kalo punya keluarga ato temen yg belom update, bisa pergi ke Bank BCA terdekat buat update. Sekian. 

Solving "Pending" While Installing Apps On Windows 8

As some of you might have already know, I'm currently still hanging onto my old Samsung Galaxy S1 which condition gets worst as day passes by. Problems like auto restart, hang, can't press anything, can't install certain new apps are a norm...hahaha.

So have been switching between iPad and my S1 to use LINE apps. The downside of it is that you can't log in on both. Have to give up one of them to use the apps. Kinda bothersome I'd say. Plus the fact that I don't really bring iPad everywhere with me. Mostly went out with my S1. Therefore if I have to use LINE on my iPad, I'd only be able to use the apps during night time. Troublesome huh?

Which is why I'm kinda excited to know that LINE's available on PC! Plus that you can access your account on your PC as well as your phones,etc without the need of erasing the account! Brilliant!

However things weren't that smooth for me as my Windows 8 can't happen to install them onto my lappie. "Pending" was all that I see no matter how many times I cancel and re-download. Fortunately I came across a solution to this "pending" problem while downloading apps for Windows 8.

You can read this lifesaver instruction HERE!

I've used it myself this morning and IT WORKS!! Instructions are clear and easy to follow even for a noob like me. Hope this will help you guys too! Have a nice day~

New Lappie a.k.a Toshiba Satellite P840!

So finally...like FINALLY...after all the dissatisfaction towards my lappie which lasted for almost a year and plus, I managed to get myself a new lappie! *throws confetti* It took me long enough...About 7-8 months of saving. Which means home cooking for the whole weekdays and only splurge my money during weekends. That was hard but it's worth the price...haha.

To put things short...My old Toshiba laptop (Toshiba Satellite L100) who have served me since 2007 was unable to cope with the current softwares and such. Therefore I had to buy a new one in order to be able to play the games I wanted to play and of course to support my drawing apps such as Adobe Photoshop, etc.

Planned to get Alienware coz I thought that it's strong and definitely a good buy. But apparently it was way over my budget of 10k...LOL. At first I thought 15k was enough. In which I think I still can strive to buy. But deletes my wants right away after finding out the series that I am interested in starts at 18k? It's just too much a number for me who isn't a pro gamers who earns money through playing games using high end laptops. So yeah...it's a no no. Unless if I am a pro gamers...then perhaps it's a yes...

Somehow it made things easier though...I mean it only leaves me to one choice. Some people are telling me to get a Mac. But after changing job and am using Mac for the past few months...I am certain that I am not getting a Mac. Of course I can't deny that I really LOVE the screen. Images looks so amazing on Mac's screen. Even I can't stop looking at my own artworks or my selcas on Mac. What more with the new retina display...I think it'll be more awesome. But after giving it a thought...it's still a no. Considering that I just want a lappie which can play the games I wanted, for drawing purpose, to watch dramas and animes. 

Plus if it's good in my screen, it might not be what others sees in their screen. So might as well having somewhat similar with others. In order that what I see would be somewhat similar with what other sees...hehe. So yeah...it comes down to my 1st choice of all. Toshiba.

Prior to my experience with my first laptop which is Toshiba Satellite L100, I can say that I am a proud owner. My old lappie never fails in serving me ever since 2007 up to 30th April 2013. Except for that one time where there's problem with the screen which costs me RM600 to replace it with a new screen. Yet I think it's awesome enough to be living properly for 5 years plus and only broken down once. This first hand experience itself has lead me wanting to own my second Toshiba.

Planned to own Toshiba Satellite P850 due to it's bigger screen and equipped with i7. However it's a few k away from my budget. So I came down with the 2nd choice which is Toshiba Satellite P840 who is cheaper by a few k and it's pretty similar to P850 but with smaller screen and only has i5.

Simple and cool

Right side of the lappie

Would surely appreciate another USB port since my old lappie has 4 of them. 3 is kinda too little for me since I kinda need 4. One for my cooler, another for my internet USB, my external HD and another one for my wacom. But it's ok since I can always buy external USB hub. But till nao still didn't manage to buy one since I am too lazy to move around...LOL. So mostly I just plug out my external hardisk in order to get my wacom plugged in. Hahaha. (Update: Bought 4-port hub d!)

Harman Kardon® speakers, enhanced by SRS® Premium Sound 3D™

One of the highlighted feature was this Harman Kardon speakers. Didn't know much bout speakers other than Altec Lansing. So I can give no answer if this is good or not. But definitely the sound is GOOD compared to my old lappie. But old lappie speaker have no brand...so yeah...LOL! To put it short it does gives a pretty decent sound. Just don't go and compare to real speakers (external ones) to internal ones.

Some hidden card reader

Didn't notice this till I actually read some reviews on this lappie. And I rarely use card reader...so it's not that important to know of its existence...Hmm...Sorry card reader...Bet someone else would appreciate you more than I do.

Fingerprint Reader

LOL...this one is a plus since I didn't knew of its existence as much as the "hidden card reader". I think I haven't mention this before...But I honestly haven't seen any P850 or P840 before I purchased one. I just researched the lappie that I interested in through internet with the help of uncle Google. Then after I finalize I ordered it online. So when I did unbox and found this finger scanning thingy I was pretty excited since back in 2007 I was mesmerized by Moi Moi's white Toshiba lappie which have this function as well. It's pretty good if you're too lazy to type in your password to get in. Haha...Perhaps next time we'll get something more futuristic like eye scanning or face recognition thingy? Who knows...I think we already have this...Or maybe at the moment they only existed is futuristic movies only.

Top view on the keyboard

Seriously I am really really disappointed with the touch pad as it is NOT sensitive where it keeps giving me the wrong response and secondly, it's noisy when clicked! The touch pad on my old L100 was much much MORE more a winner compared to this fail touch pad...Most of the time I turn this touch pad off coz it just gets to my nerve each time I am using it. Shall only be using this during emergency...such as when my mouse die...LOL. But other than that...touchpad...u're good to be asleep!

Side view of the keyboard

Closer view

Keyboard in the dark

This is one of the awesome thing which comes with P840. LOL! Isn't it cool? Almost reminds me of Alienware's keyboard. Of coz in Alienware you can go and change its colour to suit your preference where else you can't do that with P840. However I think it's awesome enough considering the price and all...Not bad I would say. Not that it's so much of a help in the dark since I think I remembered most of the frequent keys used frequently. But yeah...they sure looks good aesthetically...haha.

CTRL + ALT + Z far far away

If I must state out my agony it would be these keys who are so far away from each other. In my previous lappie, they're close to each other and Z key's right end was just above ALT's left end. As someone who plays with Photoshop alot, these 3 are my most frequent used keys and nao it's so hard to press them. Somehao it reminds me of my piano class back then where I have to stretch my fingers. Guess I'd have to familiarize my fingers to these new placement...*sobs*

Directional keys are shorties!

Another disappointment bout this lappie would be the directional keys. At first glance the keys on the keyboard does look appropriate and beautiful. Yet after I played some games which requires the use of directional keys alot, somehao I ish not happy with the directional key's size. In my previous L100, they close to each other and the height is taller than this. If I can be picky (though I am aware this wouldn't make the key to grow taller magically....but...) I would love for the size to be similar with my old keyboard...Say W: 1.5 cm and H: 1.3 cm? That would be awesome!

Oh...as for tactile...it's good. You just have to use normal pressure to get the keys to read what you're typing. No complaint on this one. Except for my left directional key and "B" which I think less sensitive compared to the other keys. Or maybe it's my finger position that doesn't press right in the middle of the key...Does that affects the sensitivity? I dunno.

Also these keys are in black colours which I appreciate and it's not slippery...hehe.

Texture

Gotta love the brushed aluminium look on this lappie. Pro looking and smooth on the hand. It does get hot on the right side after using the lappie for some hours. But not too hot so it's still bearable. I assume the machine is located on the right side. Unlike my old lappie who gets hot on the left. Haha.

On a side note, I was wondering why there's no NVIDIA graphic card sticker sticked on the left part. Coz I see that usually lappie have them on the left part...Somehao my P840 have less stickers on it...Not that it matters much as it clearly does not affect the performance...Just saying the random stuff that passed through my brain...LOL.

Front shot

One last photo on Toshi-san

Another random stuff...I decided to call this lappie Toshi. Since it's name is Toshiba...But Toshi sounds cuter and it reminds me of Shinsengumi's Hijikata Toshizo (who appeared in the anime Gintama and Hakuouki as Hijikata Toushirou). So yep...it's settled...Its a He! Hahaha.

Ok back on the webcam, you can choose between 0.1 MP, 0.3 MP, 0.9 MP, 1.0 MP and 2.1 MP. Not that clear but sufficient enough to let people see your face...Hmm...On a bright side...they can't see your pimples! How good is that? LOLL!

For more informative and formal kind of review you can check out these two website which I read before I purchase this lappie HERE and HERE. They wrote better than I do! Their pictures clearly better too...FML.

Closer view on the texture of the laptop bag

As I said somewhere within this post, I got mine purchased through phone and got it delivered to my house. It's convenient as I am too lazy to go to Mangga Dua to get my lappie. Hahaha. The person who delivered me the lappie was nice too! Plus I thought that they're going to postpone the day to deliver the lappie coz it rained so heavily so suddenly that night. But no...they still deliver the lappie to me on the date said. What impressed me more would be on how good they protect the box that it didn't get wet at all despite the fact that the man who deliver them to me drives motorcycle.

And guess what...to my joy it was delivered to me on 1st of May! *plays "First of May" song by Olivia Ong"* LOL...what a nice timing I thought.

Btw I got mine here in case you're interested to buy a new lappie and such but am clueless on where to buy or too lazy to do research...And at the same time this is my way of giving thanks for their nice service. Hehe.

UPDATE: Adobe's CS5 are compatible with Windows 8. In case if you're wondering about this like I do before deciding to go with Windows 8. Been using Photoshop CS5 for quite some time and it works perfectly. And it seems like Flash Pro is working as well. Haven't really try to play with it yet...But I've tried clicking and it's opened...so I don't think there's problem with it. Unlike what I used to fear coz I've read somewhere that it's not compatible with Windows 8...(Or was it flash player? LOL)

Oh Hey Seagate!

First of all...I am deeply disappointed with my Buffalo MiniStation external HD. It's just 1 year old plus and it died once in June this year and nao it died again for the second time and for the last time yesterday. Don't even try to ask me about the warranty coz I don't even know how long is the warranty since I've already throw the box away ever since I was to leave M'sia for Indonesia few months back. (Too much luggage so little hand...)

What's worst was the fact that even my old Seagate is still alive after many many many years while the "young" Buffalo MiniStation just poof liddat. And twice on the same year at that...Shall never ever buy Buffalo brand again. Maybe there's that possibilities that I happen to get the defect one among so many others produced...But meh...once is enough of trying when it comes to hardisk. *sobs*

Therefore yesterday I went to research for new external HD. It comes down to either Seagate Backup Plus or Western Digital My Passport. Although there's not much diff in between these two and that these two brand are also famous for their HD, but in the end I opt for Seagate coz I read from somewhere that it's more future proof. It has USB 3.0, Firewire and also Thunderbolt whereas WD My Passport only comes with the USB 3.0. Hmm...although I'm not using either Firewire or Thunderbolt for nao, I still think that there's no harm in getting it since I'm planning to buy new laptop soon. So in case you don't bother about a HD that is future-proof, you can go for WD My Passport HD. Price wise these both doesn't differ much. At least here in Jakarta the difference is only about 20-30. So yeah...see which interest you more.

Front Packaging

I'm loving the box material so so much. I love the matte feel to it though I don't know what's the use since it'll just sit forever in one of my drawer...LOL. But still I can't help but to compliment on the box material...hohoho.

Back view

The hardisk

Loving the design as well as the texture on the HD. It looks so elegant and much more beautiful compared to my old Seagate HD. Currently am very satisfied with it...Hopefully this feeling will last. Hehe...and oh...it has the ability to backup your Facebook pictures too...But since I'm not interested to store my Facebook pictures onto my HD, so guess I'll skip on the apps for that...

Bye for now...gonna format the HD before using...Good night!

Brain Crash

Ah...so here I am trying to comfort myself at 4.43 in the morning! It's been many months that my DVD-rom gone mad and doesn't want to read any CD's or DVD's inserted. Almost opt to go and buy new DVD reader but somehow it never happens.

And now I'm trying my best to solve it on my own. Was hoping that it has to do with the installation or crash with the Windows XP auto update. Cause this would means that it IS possible to revive it to its former function. But...But...why the toot are the tutorials seems so alien to me? Every words are so hard for my brain to digest. Ugh! Too much terms! *throw tables away and mumbles at some corner alone*


As you can see above, that's what I see when I clicked "My Computer". Dunno why there's two of it when back then it has always been one. That's a mystery that's still uncovered till now. Dunno if that has anything to do to why my DVD reader is not working. Ahh~


And when I right click to My Computer > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > DVD/CD-ROM drives, that's what I see. Again...with two things below. Ugh! I think SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) is something like a connection to connect to the computer. But knowing this still doesn't helps to solve anything. *Insert another "ahh"*

As for the GMA thing...I think it's my DVD-ROM series or something liddat. I think. Am not sure bout this one. Huhuhu...

UPDATE:

It's a cup half full! I managed to make my DVD-rom read CD's! *dancing around the room like a boss*


See? It can read CD! *Continues dancing around the room* However I must regret to say that this is the best that I can do. Tried every way I can think of and experiment those stated on the internet. Hmm...at least now it can read CD. Which leaves to few possibilities...

One, I need to clean the "eye" for the DVD. Two, I lost some DVD software. Three, maybe it's really dying somehow. The first two give hopes huh? Will try when I have enough money to buy the disk cleaner. The second option would be harder to do though. Mahhh...nevermind. Will see when the time comes. I don't see any problem with it not functioning as I'm not needing its service at the moment. Hehe. Wish my dvd-rom luck ya~ *smiles*
