Hardwiring dashcam

Puteih — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 16:23:51 +0800

Hello all.

I want to buy a new front and back dashcam, and I'm considering the top 3 dashcams from the MIROS table here: https://www.miros.gov.my/xs/page.php?s=camscore

I want to ask, if I hardwire my dashcams will it drain my car's battery faster? I also saw there's OBD2, something like a plug and play but with 24 hours surveillance. Not sure which is better; to plug at OBD2 or hardwire to battery. My objective is to have surveillance 24hr, and I rarely use my car as well (mostly during weekends and long trips).

I'm not so pro with car technicality, and I also just thought of buying one late last night. So I'm not the most informed on things related. Any advice is greatly welcomed.

Need recommendations on bathroom reno

Puteih — Wed, 12 Jun 2024 18:14:29 +0800

Hello all,
I'm looking to do a minor bathroom renovation, namely:

Replacing floor tiles, because current tiles are quite slippery.
Install ceiling ventilation fan (includes drilling hole in wall and window for ducting), because I saw mold growing a bit on ceiling.
New installation of plaster ceiling

Is there anything that I should look out for when want to do this? Like if the floor tiles is hacked, need to make sure what they apply so no water leakage later (don't want to create problem for downstairs neighbor).

I am still looking for a contractor that are willing to do this small job in Ampang, if you guys have any recommendation can give me contact.

Mattress suggestion

Puteih — Thu, 28 Dec 2023 11:05:51 +0800

Hi all,
I know there's a lot of mattress questions asked before here, but I want to create another suggestion thread again.

I'm a back sleeper, have back ache (so need a bit firm mattress) and my price range is somewhere below 6K. Currently my choices are between Serta and Sealy. Initially wanted to buy Sealy but in boutique said display only got offer, while Serta offers new mattress. Harvey Norman ones seems to have stock issue also, said minimum two weeks time. MFO doesn't have the brands that I wanted, but some of their choices are okay too.

Which is better; to buy mattress from harvey norman, MFO or boutiques? The one I wanted is in Harvey Norman but I found out that mattress is old model (2019 I think). Boutiques one a bit more expensive but seems okay.

I'm not going for online mattresses like Joey or Origin, seems like doesn't suit my need.

Vacuum recommendation

Puteih — Mon, 01 May 2023 23:37:14 +0800

Hello all,
I'm looking to upgrade my vacuum cleaner, and I need some recommendations. With 5.5 sale is incoming, I'm planning to buy the new vacuum in Lazada. The current vacuum cleaner that I have is Electrolux ZUF4306DEL, but parts started to wear and tear (I used it since 2019).

Most of the vacuums review that I read, the brands are not available in Malaysia. But I am most intrigued with the new Electrolux UtimateHome 900, with the mop attachment. But the cleaning station is out of stock so I'm guessing there's no point for me buying it until the station is available.

Some features that I would like to have on the new vacuum are (in order):
-No problem in vacuuming hair
-Can vacuum carpet effectively
-Can mop
-Plus point if it's cordless so I can vacuum my car as well
-Plus point if can self clean or needs not so much maintenance
-I don't want robot vacuum because I don't think it's good enough to clean the nooks and crooks in my house.

Some questions that I have:
- Are steam mops like Karcher's good enough? I want to use some cleaning solution as well when mopping.
- And are other lesser name brands (with cheaper price) a better choice compared to the likes of Electrolux? Would they lasts as long as well?
- Would it be better if I buy the vacuum overseas (kirim to a friend) for the brands that are not available in Malaysia?

The current vacuum has served me well, so I'll just post some pros and cons below in case anyone wants to read it:

Suggestions for TV

Puteih — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 12:50:44 +0800

I'm thinking of buying a new TV.

Initially wanted to buy LG C1 48" but after done some reading probably it's not the best TV for my usage. I have a bright living room, so scared the lights will reflects on the TV so much it'll disturb the viewing experience. So I'll probably looking at QLED/QNED or something that can produce great blacks as well.

And afterwards, I read some stuffs in RTINGS website, stating how big should my TV size be depending on the length between seating place and TV. From the calculator, it says I should own a 70" TV

So probably I'll be just looking at something around 60".

Does anyone have any suggestions of TV for me? The reason why I wanted to buy LG in the first place because friend said LG have the best OLED and webOS is the best among other smart TV OS.

Edit: Budget probably below 5k. The cheaper the better, but what I want is the best bang for buck.

Are display set tv’s worth buying?

Puteih — Tue, 22 Feb 2022 18:20:13 +0800

I saw there’s a sale for a display set Sony Bravia, but I wonder if it’s okay to buy it? Because most people say never buy display set tv because they always on, so parts pretty much used up a lot.

Tempting to buy because I always wanted to have Bravia at home.

Would you help a friend

Puteih — Mon, 16 Nov 2020 16:49:31 +0800

Scenario is like this:
You bought a subscription service from your friend. Then mid this year you asked him to help reduce the subscription fee, but until now he never gets back to you with the reduced fee quotation. So now your subscription’s fee is still the same (deducting extra credits from account).

Now he asked for your help to introduce him to your other friends (subscription users to be). Would you help him? Or just ignore?

Do you forgive and forget

Puteih — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 10:18:59 +0800

Last time I bought a graphic card in LYN, the seller was selling it at RM2020 but I accidentally paid him RM2200. When I realized I banked in the wrong amount of money, I Whatsapp him saying can he check back the amount banked in and pay me back the extra money. He said okay, he will check back the transaction later.

Then I syiok2 play games because new graphic card until I forgot about this. About 1-2 years later when wanna change phone, I just casually check back my Whatsapp messages. Then only I realized that the guy didn't get back to me, and return me back the extra 180. I tried messaged him in LYN, Whatsapp him but he said already long time sold his GPU. Then he didn't acknowledge my claim. I got a screenshot from my bank statement, but since he don't want to acknowledge I think it's useless if I wanna claim further.

Ever since I tried to forget and forgive about this and say not my rezeki. But once in a while the thought of this comes back to me, and I keep on feeling the grudge and a bit angry to him (and me also la because I'm partly at fault of this).

Do you ever forgive and forget if people you barely knew do this to you?
