Avoid Con-men Contractor

joxen — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:39:45 +0800

Hi,

Many of us wanted to renovate their house, but afraid of kena con with high price.
I'm included, so I just wanted to get some insights.

Here I'm listing out what questions to ask the contractor, whether they're for real or not:

1. Do you have workers?
If they say they got, pls make sure they really got. Sometimes they hire nearby Indonesia workers.

2. How much to renovate atas bawah?
If they say the price immediately, probably they didn't calculate if properly. They need careful budget planning.

3. Plaster ceiling how much?
Depends on design and how big you want to cover

4. Do you include wiring, tiles, wooden flooring etc
Ask them upfront, to avoid additional cost incurred. End-up you have to pay for it.

Any more?

I'm average musician, can I use music arranger?

joxen — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 10:51:02 +0800

Hi,

Newbie here.

I stumble upon a Keynote reality show on Astro channel 104.
Check http://www.astro.com.my

To my surprise, these participants can only play little music instrument like guitar and piano etc.
The rest, is up to the music arranger.

Wow, I thought as a musician, we have to play all and compose it track by track.
Have our own studio, record it, must know how to read notes, produce it etc.
Didn't know that the arranger can do it for us.

If have the music inspiration idea, humming it, place the beat

1. Can the arranger will so-called 'arrange' the music for me?
2. Will it also come with the musical sheet?
3. And we entitle for the composer & lyricist for the royalty?

Based on this topic, http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1451919/, it'll be lower than RM2500. I believe it's quite okay.
I thought it could be shoot to RM5000. What about recording? Will it be another charge?

Appreciate your feedback guys.

UPDATE: 13/5/2010

Picture worth a thousand words:

Updates:

30/5/2010

I stopped ON Whey Protein due to it's halalness doubt (still got half untouched)
I changed to Ultimate Nutrition Prostar Whey Protein

Also stopped Lipo6 due to want to make it natural way (still got half untouched)

What's my supplement:

Old: Lipo6 + Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein (Mocha)

How do I consume it?

Non-Workout Day
---------------------
lipo6 before breakfast
lipo6 before lunch
whey protein after office hour
whey protein before bed

Workout Day
---------------------
lipo6 before breakfast
lipo6 before lunch
whey protein before cardio (after 30 mins cardio, then only do workout)
whey protein after workout (immediately)

When do I scale my weight?
Every day, immediately after wake up.
Without drinking or eating anything.
So, this is pretty accurate for the whole period.
I will scale my weight several times in the morning, and choose the lowest weight and bodyfat recorded for that day.

Hi all,

I'm re-starting my gym about 2 months ago.
I'm considering myself buying Lipo6 to burn fat.

However, kinda confused now which combo is the best?
I'm afraid if I took Lipo6 alone, my muscle will also gone.

I don't want that to happen. Therefore, I guess that whey protein is needed.

Anybody can suggest?

Thanks.
