Bandar Kinrara 9

KeNNy — Tue, 07 Jul 2009 23:09:53 +0800

What do you guys think about Kinrara 9?

This place has skyrocketed in pricing over the recent months, mainly due to:
- Zest
- Flying over due to the above
- Speculations of LRT

There're 4 major designs:
- Speaktra (NEW!)
- Cahaya (NEW!)
- Senja (NEW! - Under construction)
- Warna (2 years old)

I'm thinking of getting a unit and staying in this area. I've looked around but basically the new units (Cahaya, Senja, Spektra) are a little high (e.g. 40% after CF since launch), so I tried looking around Warna - the older phase.
Any Warna owners? As this is not yet a dream home, planning on re-selling in 5-10 years down the road.
What do you guys think of this place potential and re-sale value over next years?

Although the prices here are shooting up, I realised 2nd hand USJ houses have became quite affordable.
Plus, USJ has good access to every major highway. Anyway, going out of topic a little bit but just comparing among this both.

Desa Kiara Condo

KeNNy — Sun, 23 Nov 2008 21:36:00 +0800

Anyone staying around/in the Desa Kiara condo?

Many were saying that it's in a strategic location (Infrastructure wise) but only problem was it's right beside a muslim cemetery.
The cemetery was expanded in 2003/2004 which caused a massive sell-off and landsliding prices.

I'm actually interested in this location, but would like to hear if anyone has any experience or done any research on this?
Rumours were during rainy days there will be a stench from decomposing bodies from the cemetery and it's an eye sore from your balcony (both visually and phychologically).

Feel free to comment.

Thx.

Dealing with Bad Neighbour (Legal Aspects)

KeNNy — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 12:45:02 +0800

Background:
I've a neighbour who hangs her dog's towels on the shared fence. Common sense would say that shared fence is a "sacred" area that you usually don't want to cross. Worse is, she hangs her dogs towels on it. It's smelly and causes the fence to rust more quickly. She rents the place. She lives alone, her husband is seldom around and comes back once/twice a week (Travelling).

A quick conversation proved she was irrational. She uttered words like "It's my right", "You guys are fussy", "I will call my landlord". I gave alternative places for her to hang e.g. her own clothes hanger, or on her own gate she claims "It's too far away", "It will get her clothes dirty", "She can hang where she wants because it's her right".

I'm a diplomat. Neighbours are important and we need to count on each other. So I tried to be patient with the character. She finally agreed that it was inappropriate to hang things which she doesn't like around her (e.g. dogs towels). But, that was only temporary. Things turned worse when she started hanging rubbish on the fence. It's clear that she's just irrational and a b**** and would do anything to protect her ego (that the fence is hers). It further proved my assumption when she claims to be "very educated" but speaks unculturally with broad generalizations (e.g. Malaysians are fussy (she spent 4 years in UK). There was some age discrimination and light racist remarks that she made but I won't go there. Her race does not matter, but she's a Malaysian.

Before resorting to a lose-lose situation (taking her garbage and throw it in front of her door), I would like to ask should I choose to battle this legally, what are my options?
E.g. calling MPSJ? Call her landlord? Any experience neighbours know how to sort this out?

Thanks,
Kenny

LCD Panels

KeNNy — Sun, 18 Feb 2007 23:23:24 +0800

HT dudes,

I was looking at a few el-cheapo DIY mods that were created years ago by some HT enthusiasts.

They used Overhead Projectors (OHP) and shoot it across transparent LCD Panels. These LCD panels are connected to a computer or a DVD player.

You'll get something like this:
OHP light >>> LCD Panel >> OHP Lenses = Projected Screen.

The solution is unusually cheap and the bulb replacements for a OHP costs much less than a projector bulb. The quality of course, is incomparable to the mainstream projector lines but it can serve as a affordable cheap budget system with low maintainance cost.

The only problem is, where can we find these transparent LCD panels?

Refer here to know what I'm talking about:
