I only received rm21 refund after making few calls to pursue. They told me fail to replace battery, rm100 is non refundable. Who can confirm? Feel cheated n not fair to pay for rm100 but battery is not allow to replace.

DIY Reno, Taobao

luvox — Tue, 23 Jan 2018 20:48:25 +0800

Due to budget limit, without sacrificing quality & design, I started DIY reno project on my 2 rooms condo. It's a tiring project. Im sharing my experience with u guys who r interested.

These r what i did myself:
1. Wiring, add new wall socket, bring out new electrical point from DB box for kitchen hob & oven, etc. Chase wall to conseal wires. (DIY is not advisable). I did have one previous experience DIY wiring after observing how it is done. Need a lot of googling & consult friend
2. Plumbing (PEX pipe and brass fitting source from Taobao because > 2 times cheaper than local price) DIY is not advisable also without proper research on google. My first setup, water was still leaking at the Teflon tape sealed thread joint. Problem solved after replacing thread sealant with Teflon dope from Ace hardware. I removed the existing wall tile with chisel. I chased the wall with angle grinder & hammer drill. It is dusty n dangerous job to handle angle grinder.
3. Install fixture, all lights, fan, storage water heater, rain shower, shower mixture, curtain rail, TV bracket,
4. Tint windows. I bought tint film from taobao but item partially damaged by other heavy items.
5. Smart home: Amazon Echo dot, Broadlink RM Pro, RF switch, Xiaomi smart home, Raspberry pi HA Hassio, motorized curtain rail
6. Install tempered glass shower screen (sliding door type). Sourced from taobao. My sliding door dont have soft close, otherwise it looks good.
7. Touch up & painting job
8. Relocate kitchen wall water outlet & drain
9. Add on wall switches & socket at kitchen, kitchen cabinet & the wall beside toilet basin. Add lighting point behind toilet mirror
10. Install kitchen Fotile hood, Electrolux induction hob (bought from TBM @ OKR), Rubine build in oven (lazada), LED strip under wall cabinet (motion on/off switch from taobao).
12. Install under sink water filter, two way water tap. Sourced from taobao. One water tap can deliver both drinking water & pipe water.

My items mainly sourced from Taobao & brought in via 3rd party sea freight, (not official lazada taobao sea freight).
Some of the huge & heavy items that i brought in is not practical & unworthy to do so. It is just my own problem, like to challenge myself & my luck bringing in fragile/bigger items, after 2-3 years taobao experience & addiction.

Tools: Bosch battery powered drill, Cheap brand electric hammer drill, Bosch Angle grinder (Dangerous tool, can google about it), cheap taobao oscillating multitool (safer tool, but not useful. I use it to cut wood & tile grout. Angle grinder cannot use to saw wood or u will kill yourself)

Hire contractor to do:
1. Plaster ceiling & painting
2. Put back wall tiles (Too tired to put back the tiles that i removed)
3. Kitchen glass backsplash
4. Windows & door grille
5. Kitchen cabinet (the One kitchen studio) RM 13k exclude wiring, plumbing, backsplash

Tribunal Perumahan Case sharing

luvox — Fri, 29 Jul 2016 11:29:03 +0800

Our issue is tribunal perumahan judge denied discrepancy between common facilities & S&P architecture plan or brochure is under their jurisdiction. The other issue is missing & substandard common facilities items.

Any previous successful case mind to share?

The judge keep on asking & challenging house purchasers instead of pihak developer, demeaning the purpose of tribunal perumahan. This is suspicious. What is proper way to bring up this suspicious judge to higher authorities?

BLR increased to 6.92-6.95%?

luvox — Sun, 10 Jan 2016 08:38:26 +0800

Any more news on other banks regarding BLR increases?
