Buying a Condo unit next to BBQ pit

blessedvillain — Wed, 30 Aug 2017 23:24:48 +0800

I'm currently considering buying a condo unit and it's on the 8th floor. However there's a BBQ pit just next to this condo block. There is limited units to choose from and this is so far the best in terms of floor level and price.

I'm quite concerned with the noise and smell of the BBQ. For those who have experience staying next to BBQ pit, I would like to find out from you whether it is really that bad or am I just being paranoid?

USJ-Batu Tiga Flyover

Residents want all conditions to be met before flyover opens
By LIM CHIA YING

RESIDENTS of USJ3ABCD in Subang Jaya are adamant that they will continue trying to stop the opening of the Batu Tiga flyover connecting USJ Heights to their neighbourhood unless all the conditions set by the previous Selangor government are met.

One of the most important conditions is the construction of a slip road from Persiaran Tujuan in USJ to the Kesas Highway.

According to the residents, such a slip road is needed to divert traffic out of Persiaran Tujuan, which is expected to be more congested once the flyover is opened.

They expected such a situation because motorists from Shah Alam will certainly use the flyover to avoid the Batu Tiga toll when driving to Subang Jaya, which will then cause congestion along Persiaran Tujuan and Jalan Tujuan or Persiaran Kewajipan and Jalan Kewajipan.

According USJ3ABCD neighbourhood watch chairman Jason Lee, the flyover has been a subject of controversy since 2005, when the residents staged numerous protests.

“This is because once the flyover is opened, the whole of Subang Jaya, and not just USJ3ABCD, will be affected,” he said.

Lee said this at a press briefing at the Subang Jaya Municipal Council (MPSJ) complex organized recently by Subang Jaya assemblyman Hannah Yeoh.

The USJ3ABCD residents have been protesting against the construction of the flyover from the time when it was first proposed, as they believe that it would cause a bigger traffic havoc at Persiaran Setia which is already inundated with daily traffic chaos.

Before the press briefing, the residents had met Yeoh and the management executives of the development company to try and resolve the problem.

Yeoh confirmed that the demand for the slip road was one of the conditions that had been been set by the previous state executive council at the Selangor Economic Action Council (MTES) meeting.

According to Yeoh, besides the slip road, four other conditions had also been imposed.

The first is that the developer is required to upgrade dangerous junctions and also Persiaran Setia by constructing a lay-by and installing traffic lights.

Yeoh said since the residents had given their feedback, the developer would have to amend its layout plan for the review and endorsement of the residents.

The second condition is that a pedestrian bridge for schoolchildren be built in front of the SMK USJ12, in view of the increased traffic at Persiaran Setia with additional vehicles using the road after the flyover is open.

This condition is being met as works for the pedestrian bridge had started and were supposed to have been completed last month, but there has been a delay and the new deadline is March.

The third condition – the building of two sound barriers – is also being met as one is being built at USJ 3A.

According to Yeoh, work on the USJ 3A sound barrier is 50% done and she is pushing for it to be completed soon.

The 3C residents, meanwhile, have requested for trees to be planted in place of a sound barrier, which the developer has been asked to complete before the Chinese New Year at the end of this month.

The fourth condition is the building of a gantry on both ends of the flyover for light vehicles.

Meanwhile, USJ 3C pro tem chairman Yee Siew Meng said the cracks in four houses in USJ 3C had yet to be repaired.

“One of the gardens has caved in by three inches and the residents are feeling unsafe seeing the cracks on their beams,” Yee said.

According to Yeoh, the cracks had surfaced due to the piling work of the flyover and the developer had promised to do the repairs at a meeting in September last year.

On the slip road, Yeoh said the developer had written an appeal letter to the MPSJ but the council was awaiting a letter from the Malaysian Highway Authority (MHA) before referring it to the state executive council via MTES.

Several public hearings had been held in the past pertaining to the flyover controversy, but the previous state government decided that the project would go on.

I just found out that there's a flyover connecting USJ and Batu Tiga. Can somebody enlighten me where is this flyover? I'm working at Subang Hi Tech, Batu Tiga and I do not see any flyover or any major construction that suggest this flyover.

By the way, I see some development around Batu Tiga, namely the new shop houses opposite CSR factory and the Indarisa apartment and the up coming U1 office/condominium. Not forgetting Sime Darby USJ Heights development is also just next to Batu Tiga.

Any comments on Batu Tiga area?

iTunes Cover Flow Problem

blessedvillain — Sat, 08 Mar 2008 10:00:51 +0800

Help guys...
Whenever I add in albums into itunes, my cover flow also shows many of the same cover with the same album. Look at the attachment...

I can manually correct this problem by naming the album/files with the same "Album Artist", but it's a pain to do it for hundreds of albums!

Compressed/non compressed audio quality test

blessedvillain — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 19:23:05 +0800

hi guys,

I've downloaded some FLACs files (where i've downloaded is not relevant ), but i feel that the quality is worse than the compressed files.

So is there's a way to know whether the files are re-sampled from lower quality to higher quality ones? Pls recommend a software to test the quality of audio files.

Error/data lost in burned DVDRs

blessedvillain — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:03:22 +0800

I've backup couple of original installation disc, like soundcard driver CD, mobo driver CD to DVDRs. But when i use the burned DVDRs to re-install the drivers, there's error when installing.

I've always use Imation DVDRs to backup my files. And always verify them after burning them.

So, what's the problem? Poor quality DVDRW drive or DVDRs?

How to detect CPU temp for 1st Generation P4 rig?

blessedvillain — Fri, 07 Sep 2007 22:33:28 +0800

I'm suddenly very interested in knowing the temperature of my nearly 8years+ (maybe more) 1st generation of p4 rig. Specs are as below on my siggy.

Recently I just clean the still running S478 heatsink and and applied new AS5 coating. However, the usual softwares like Speedfan, Everest cant detect the CPU temperature.

I'm wondering, does the 1st generation of P4 CPU equipped with CPU temperature sensor? if yes, do you guys know any old-school software that might help to detect CPU temp?
