My small apartment moving in journal

briantwj — Sun, 09 Apr 2023 17:11:24 +0800

Hi guys, been wanting to get my own place. Finally gotten keys for my new condominium. Creating this thread to ask for recommendations or feedback as this is only my first property. Really appreciate all sifu's feedback.

Layout:
[attachmentid=11461101]

Virtual tour of the showroom for my unit type:
https://dkimpian.com/360/sales_gallery.html

Mine is bare unit, only the toilet part they provided the glass wall. Lol. Need to stick those frosted stickers.

Currently scheduled for defect checking middle of April. I assume 1 month if defect fixing. So only can ask contractor to start work around middle of May or early June.

I'm currently listing out the very essentials items that I need the contractor to do for me.

|No|Essential items|Brand / Model|unit needed|feedback|
|1|downlight|Philips?|tbc|since my unit have plastered ceiling, I'm thinking to just get downlights. Any good brands to recommend? Currently I'm looking at this philips Greenspace g5|
|2|ceiling fan|KDK K14XZ|2|anyone here using this model? Kdk should be reliable right|
|3|water heater|Joven SB or SC or SL series|2|based on what I read. I think I only need the instant type. But I'm not sure if I need an inverter booster pump or normal pump, or condominium don't need any pump type?I'm staying at 13 floor. hmm|
|4|aircond|Panasonic 1.5HP X-Deluxe R32 Aero Series Air Conditioner CS-XPU13WKH or LG 1.5HP Dual Inverter Deluxe Air Conditioner S3-Q12JA3WA|2|I thinking will only get 2 unit, 1 for master bedroom 1 for living room/kitchen. Any feedback on these 2 models?|

I'm still compiling the list to include washing machine, fridge and curtains. Appreciate if you guys have any brand / model recommendations for these too. Thanks!

Question on SSM termination

briantwj — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 18:50:37 +0800

Hi guys, I have a business company that I want to close down. But after logging in, i notice it has already expired 31/12/2021.

So my question is, do I need to renew it, then terminate it?

Or just let it be, does expired means that it is terminated as well?

New type of scam?

briantwj — Wed, 19 Jan 2022 17:45:33 +0800

[attachmentid=11078670]

Can anyone verify if this number is indeed shopee? Lul

I received a WhatsApp call from this number. It's a Malay guy, with a very heavy Indonesia dialect.

1) he ask for my number for verification. Duh. He already calling my WhatsApp, of course he has my number
2) he say currently shopee have a RM750 reward for me. Ask me if I want it in my Shopee Pay or other e wallet. So I say lo, I want it in Shopee Pay.
3) then he say somehow trigger a sms to me.

4) he ask me to give him the 6 digit code he sent to me as verification. At this point I damn confuse. He is already calling my current number, and he sent a 6 digit code to my number, and he still want the 6 digit code? Hmmm
5) he keep say he need that code to verify. I feel suspicious, then I say I login to check myself. Then he hung up on me

Anyone experience this free RM750 from Shopee kah?

Edit, removed otp

Caught my employee stealing

briantwj — Tue, 11 Jan 2022 16:25:43 +0800

Hi guys, first of all, do note this is in serious k/ ya.

So i arrive at my outlet (f&b), I saw there is tables with specific orders. I checked my Point of Sales system, no orders were taken for what the customer is eating. I asked my staff, she said there is insufficient change, so she collected the money and use her own change. But the thing is this is not recorded in my Point of Sales system.

I can confirm with other staff that there are sufficient changes in the drawer. And also when I confronted the staff, her body language seems off. Hands under that table, not looking directly at me when answering.

Also I have been suspecting this staff of doing something similar previously. Selling cafe items but not keying it in the system.

So I have witness and some proofs.

What are the things that I can do next?

1) terminate her on the spot. Changed my point of sales system password. And make a police report later.

Or

2) do I need to report police first? Before I terminate her.

Update: case solved. Staff chosen to voluntary resign.

bloody scammers!

briantwj — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 11:03:09 +0800

So guys, recently i've been receiving calls from +44 and +852 on a daily basis, simple google search shows that these are calls from UK and HK.

There is also a few times where this +44 number called, then I see, it begins with 044xxxxx. Then another same number will call, but this time with +44xxxxx. So I suspect they have some software that is able to add prefixes in front and act like the call is from another country.

Anyway I installed Truecaller free version, some of the +852 calls immediately show up as ScamHK lol. But this +44 one keep persist and call me almost everyday. I just continue to reject je. I even add the numbers to my block list, but some how another day, they will use another number and call. But the prefix is still +44. lol. So persistent sia the scammer.

That being said, do u guys pay for the Truecaller premium feature? Or are there any other decent scam call identifying app that you guys recommend?

Getting a 6 pack healthily

briantwj — Sat, 16 Oct 2021 23:09:42 +0800

Hi guys, just a little bit of background on my body before we get into my main question and plans.

Height: 167cm
Weight: 72kg
Age: 31

I am having high cholesterol from my recent body checkup. I used to do intermittent fasting. And my weight went down to 68kg.

In short I wanna be more healthy, burn some fat, and gain a six pack. I have this plan in mind, but would like to listen to sifus here.

Intermittent fasting:
Eating time: 12pm - 8pm
Fasting time: 8pm - 12pm

Diet:
Will go for low carb and more balance diet (protein, fibre)
Brunch at 12pm: fish + vege
Dinner at 7pm: hard boiled egg + vege

Exercise (will do this while fasting, morning):
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: Jogging for cardio (1 hour session)
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: HIIT. I need to incorporate some core muscle exercises right? Still doing some research on this
Sunday: off day, but still following intermittent fasting and protein + fiber diet.

Would this plan work in achieving 6 packs? I know definitely my weight will be down.

Appreciate sifus input!

AstraZenaca shot

briantwj — Tue, 01 Jun 2021 22:27:30 +0800

Hey guyssss. So ayam successfully registered for the AstraZenaca shot last week. So I chose PWTC. ok la, then I wait for the Mysejahtera to update.

Then last week I think weekend or so, it updated, and show my location to take the jab is Kuching!

Am I the only one experiencing this? Or is this system issue?

1) I tried calling the hotline few times already. Everytime it says, xx number of ppl in the waiting list, how many more minutes for me to get served. Then when it's my turn, it will just say their support is all occupied.
2) I asked JKJAV's fb messenger. They ask me to provide my IC, then they say will ask relevant team to check. After few days i ask their update, no reply.

Am I the only getting assigned to different location compared to the location i selected for my jab?

Who should I contact to rectify this? Aduhhhhh

fine dining recommendation

briantwj — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 23:37:08 +0800

ei fellow ktards, bae's bday is coming soon. Looking at fine dining. Budget around RM500 for 2. Good views like KLCC would be a good bonus,

So far I'm looking at

1) La Terrasse @ Cilantro KL, Micasa All Suites Hotel
2) Marini on 57
3) Marble 8

Seems like Marini on 57 will have good view right in front of KLCC. But the La Terrasse looks appealing as well. Damn.

Any other recommendations?

First time home buyer

briantwj — Sat, 13 Feb 2021 13:06:34 +0800

Hi sifus, am looking to buy my very first property, for my own stay. Am looking at 300k - 400k property. New projects preferably, with HOC / discounts. Not really keen on subsales as it requires 15-20% of DP?

Some of my details.
31 years old
RM6k income

Repaying loans below,
car loan - RM741 per month
ptptn loan - RM156 per month

Currently looking at Plaza Kelana Jaya. I dont need it to be super big, the 450 sf one looks just nice for my own staying. I have my own transport, so not necessarily must be close to MRT etc. Am looking at areas around PJ, KL.

Would like to ask, how come there is a difference in the starting price provided by Glomac and Property Guru?

In Glomac website, this project they mention this,

https://www.glomac.com.my/project/plazakela...vice-apartment/

From RM 383,000

But from Property Guru, they mention this,

https://www.propertyguru.com.my/new-propert...ana-jaya-190223

Launch Price: From RM432,050

Does that means it's better if I directly go to the Sales Gallery and engage the developer better? Coz I dont go thru agent hence it's cheaper?

Room / area to rent suggestion

briantwj — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 12:21:09 +0800

Need advise on Myvi front tyres

briantwj — Wed, 02 Dec 2020 14:43:46 +0800

Hi guys, I'm driving the new Myvi. 2 years+ already, mileage at 32k+.

Today I notice the front passenger side tyre are wearing out. So far I've never changed the tyres before.

I also notice the front passenger side tyre wears and tears more than the front driver side tyre. The back tyres look ok, not that much wear and tear.

Front driver side:
[attachmentid=10709904]

Front passenger side:
[attachmentid=10709906]

1) Should I replace both the front tyre? Or only the worn out one?
2) What are the recommended brands / models? So far I heard Michelin XM2 is good for Myvi.
3) If I do get 2 new tyres, should I put it as the back tyre, and use the back tyre (old ones) as front tyres?
4) Any recommendation on good tyre shops around PJ, KL? Best bang for buck type. lol.

Sorry budak baru nak up ni. hahaha
