Bukit Cahaya cycling bad experience warning

xffght5829 — Tue, 08 Dec 2015 18:45:14 +0800

Went to Bukit Cahaya planning to enjoy a nice bike ride, so rented some bicycles. Made a huge mistake choosing between 2 different rental shops, 1 is a nicer wooden hut with bicycles another was a tent. So decided to go to wooden hut since cheaper, when i borrowed bike i heard from a friend need careful of the staff there they like to tiok people money, check properly before you take their bicycle or they'll blame you for spoiling it even though you got it like this So when i went i double check the bikes, some gears couldnt even go up or made some noises(my friend kena fined for bike damage because of that thinking it was nothing much to complain about) so i kept requesting for a good condition bike, they got annoyed hence they scolded "u datang sini borrow ke beli?!" i got pissed alreayd that was from the boss, i told him if bike got problem you'll blame me right? he replied saying all his bikes are in tip top condition if got problem means you spoilt it, then i kept showing his other staff that kept quiet all the problems with the bik he showed me so the guy didnt like me either and said "u X suka, boleh X rent" , got so pissed i went inside asked the guy that acted like boss to give me back my license (they need keep your ID card if you borrowed their bikes) and he didnt want to give me back unless i paid RM20, i threatened to phone the police(just to scare him) if he kept my ID so he gave back. Another family saw the incident and walked away saying their attitude is horrible and they didnt want to give them business

>>Just sharing with you my bad experience with that wooden hut rental store, DONT EVER RENT FROM THEM! EXTREMELY BAD SERVICE

Bright side of story, the tent was operated by few malay boys which were extremely friendly, helped me repair the faulty bike instead of me needing to keep on trying and replacing, I told them if small matter like squeeking sound i wouldnt mind as long they dont accuse me of causing it, we agreed and both parties happy paid extra 5 bucks, which i would gladly spend to help our malaysian brothers for giving excellent service

CONCLUSION!!!
Cycling fans, Bukit Cahaya excellent place to cycle with lots of nice shade, either bring your own bike or rent from the malay operated stall rather than the bangla operated 1(read from a review saying their tauke chinese and doesnt care about what happens between the banglas and customer, so this not first time)

[WTA] How To Tune Bicycle Gear?

xffght5829 — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 17:30:57 +0800

My bicycle gear skips when around, not sync with the the handle... i choose gear 5 give me gear 4 or 6, then when i choose gear 6 from 5, it'll skip 5, jump from 4 to 6...

So i tried google about how to tune the bicycle gear... All the ones i saw is top screw for high gear, bottom screw for low gear... but my bicycle screw is arranged side by side(1 left 1 right) so a bit problem there.. tried trial and error, not really sure what i've done but it gone worse... Not only does it skip now... it'll fly of the 6th chain when i choose 6th gear.. must put lever at 5th gear then chain baru at 6th gear dont fly out... but still wont go 5th gear..

Then i try again lorh(that was before googling i try fixing, after google now try again) it doesnt fly out anymore, but now when i go 2nd gear sangat bising and stays on 3rd chain... choose 1st gear but at 2nd chain..

Try again.... got lagi worse, chain disc thingy broke and came out(small matter only la) but i fixed it a bit so now my bike can stick to 6th chain & 4th chain as long my gear lever on my handle bar stays on the 4th and 5th gear...

Anybody can please teach me how to fix? Planning to go bicycle repair shop if still cant get it fixed

She wont talk to me after i called her something

xffght5829 — Fri, 30 May 2014 10:41:47 +0800

I was chatting with my girlfriend when i told her i saw a lot of girls wearing those crop shirts and i find it so hooker-like(just my outdated thinking opinion) then she said she bought it few hours before the incident, and she got offended then i teasingly said she can act like a hooker to me when we're alone now she's very hurt...

What just happened there... She just wont talk to me anymore, i sent more than 10 text messages to her already and she still doesnt want to talk to me

Different userr accounts document file extraction

xffght5829 — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 19:34:29 +0800

I read from a 6 month old thread that someone wrote Windows not allowing other users to access a protected users file. Just wanna state that this statement is false unless the particular folder is encrypted then i'm not sure. And i don't see any other topics regarding this. If i'm wrong please correct me, i'm open to criticism and will humbly accept them
>> Based on experience, you can bypass an administration lock on a user's "my documents" folder. meaning, i can extract your personal documents.
>> How to if you don't wanna google?
1) Go to your folder options -> View tab -> Deactivate simply file sharing.
2) Right click the administrated protected folder and go to security tab.
3) Allow ownership and full modification of folder contents to your account.
4) You are free to move or view the administrator protected folder.

Cycling?

xffght5829 — Thu, 05 Dec 2013 19:19:37 +0800

Hmm, i dont see any cycling threads, isn't there anybody in this forum that likes cycling?
If i wanna make a thread regarding cycling, do i put it under F&F or Hobbies etc?
Maybe mods can create a new area for motorbikes and bicycles(just a humble suggestion)

Cello >> Le Cygne aka The Swan

xffght5829 — Tue, 03 Dec 2013 11:03:30 +0800

This shall be super straight to the point XD P/S feel free to ignore all the stuff in the brackets as it's unnecessary
>>> Sucky grade 5 Cellist (currently no teacher as he migrated to overseas)
>>> Wanna learn Le Cygne by Saint Saens, (very nice song )
>>> Roughly can run through entire piece
>>> Just want some tips on how to perfect this piece ( a bit of a perfectionist here )
>>>Details on what I specifically wanna know, but feel free to add-on additional info for me, open to all knowledge on playing the cello in general better :
- Vibrato at 4th position
- Aiming pass 5th position accurately
- Recommended fingering (kudos to @barista, could get a clear image of fingering) but feel free to add on
>> My teacher didn't teach me to vibrato, learned 1st to 3rd position vibrato myself, sounds alright but not sure if technique is there
>> Suck at Grade 5 scales cause i can play anything higher than G major 2 octaves
>> I face some problems going around the notes smoothly or maybe my expectation on myself too high for noobie

All the kind cellist/teachers/people who can help, please give me some tips or advice, open to all criticism. Maybe I'll post a recording if i can play the entire piece smoothly in 1 go

P/S: Trying to get this piece done ASAP as it is requested by someone
