sirim-certd mosqito vaporiser caused short-circuit

cicak.fakir — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 20:28:26 +0800

TLDR;

- fumakilla vaporiser, 24 hrs for mosquito prevention

- fume didn't waft up to surrounding, but instead it turn back into liquid inside the vaporiser itself

- all 3 units became wet

#####
- "pioneer" vaporiser used for months without realising that it was "bleeding" into wall socket; caused short-circuit, burnt the socket's internals slowly for weeks as I search fruitlessly for the source of burnt fume

- the cement of the wall itself became soaked and wet and oily from the liquid

- now even the sheathing to the live wire become live, not just the metal wire itself

- the copper wire also become "rusted".

######
- bought 2 more last week, before I realise what "pioneer" had done

- 1 vaporiser blew up 4am earlier, right next to my mattress. thank god wife heard the "pop".

- I immediately took out 3rd vaporiser from dining hall, and found it also soaked wet.

#####

now i'm dumbfounded, since the live wire inside the wall itself had become unreliable, but since it is buried in the wall, replacement is not an immediate and not cheap option.

also thinking of getting fumakilla to refund me my money used to buy the vaporiser and even have spare unopened bottles. this is clearly major product defect and not just faulty batches since I bought them separately.

what do you guys think of? or suggests?

share your filthy stalls experience

cicak.fakir — Wed, 12 Sep 2018 14:03:10 +0800

I am here now.

Lorong Madrasah, Jelutong, 11600 George Town, Pulau Pinang

https://goo.gl/maps/de1us59vDVR2

am drinking in front of the only stall selling drinks in the court when i heard sounds of ice being smashed - to my surprise - on the cement pathway at the back of the stall. the operator then pours the bag into ice box. he just stepped over the place where he smashed the ice.

as I am typing this, another stall worker stood taking order from next table, with a smoking cigarette in hand.

what's your share of filthy food establishment?

have you ever lodged complaint?

did the authority(s) took action?

ps: MBPP, do your undercover health sting, please.

should I go get medical aid?

cicak.fakir — Sat, 08 Sep 2018 22:57:35 +0800

attempted to pacify and relocate a litter of 5 kittens and their stray mother.

after cornering the family under a tv cabinet, I attempted to pull a sarong over the mother.

mother fought like a cat - for lack of better description - left lots of scratches on arms and fang bites on back of both palm and fingers.

mother got away after 3 times of hold-struggle-chase rounds.

the last tetanus shot I had was about 10 years ago; also due to successfully pacify and relocate another litter.

should I be worried? now at ~ 11pm?

Rider allegedly lost sub-1k phone in car

cicak.fakir — Mon, 08 May 2017 13:40:58 +0800

hi all,

foreign rider allegedly lost a sub-1k phone in car.

he was sitting middle row, in the middle of an uberxl ride.

claimed he was holding phone all the while.

handled additional 4 requests after his trip ended. 3 single rider sitting in same row, and 1 group xl ride.

then a family trip.

but no white object was even seen by the time i load my car for family trip.

i can only think of making police report to cover my ass. and for the rider to tell celcom to block the number.

understandably, celcom denied that it can tell me last location of lost number or phone.

it can practically tell me who took it as 3 rides were going to start shift at respective workplaces.

now, what else can i do to clear up this problem? i want to help the rider, though i doubt celcom will help to locate last transmission tower of the msisdn.

Safer Internet Day 2017 - 7th February 2017

cicak.fakir — Mon, 06 Feb 2017 18:26:09 +0800

Tomorrow, 7th February 2017, is declared as Safer Internet Day for 2017.

https://www.saferinternetday.org/

It's basically all about teaching all and sundry about safety on the Internet.

The major focus group is to teach the kids.

~~Unfortunately, as seen on the map, no organisation from Malaysia is supporting the event. Worst, maybe nobody actually knew that such Day existed.~~

https://www.saferinternetday.org/web/malaysia/sid

----

As for me, I've been tracking Safer Internet Day since last year - I've been collecting additional 4GB Drive storage in total as part of Google's contribution in raising awareness towards account security!

No link yet. Or rather, don't know if Google's going to repeat the same promo or if there's promo at all.

If you find any other promo worthy to be shared, do let /k know.

WTB Nokia 100/101

cicak.fakir — Tue, 13 Dec 2016 15:59:35 +0800

Item(s): Nokia 100/101

[b]Dealing method: Courier

Location of buyer: Penang-island

Contact method/details: PM me

Item(s) conditions: Original, unused new if possible

I need a Nokia phone for old granny use.
Recently purchased a Nokia 130 but I had never thought that the middle OK button in middle of up-down-left-right nagivation will be probematic for large thumb.
She couldn't easily access the menu for SMS and address book. And in the instances that she could, the "OK" button will still be problematic to press.
She had a taste of Nokia 100 before, so I think this will be great replacement since she always compared against Nokia 100.

Bil bulan lepas juga anggaran (Day0): 11667 kW/j

Bacaan anggaran 25/09/2016 (+33d): (+440) kW/j

Bacaan sebenar 30/09/2016 (+38d): 12081 (+414) kW/j

Kalau puratakan bacaan sebenar untuk 38 hari, maka sebenarnya cuma pakai dalam 10.9 kW/j setiap hari.

Berdasarkan purata, bacaan pada 25/09 sepatutnya cuma sekitar 33d x 10.9 kW/j = 359.7 kW/j

Jadi, on 25/09/2016, TNB sebenarnya dah overcharge me even before i use the expensive 0.561¢ x 80.3 kW/j = RM41++ !!! not yet inclusive GST, tabung tenaga boleh baharu, ....
