BLOODY DEFECTS
... Yup, since no one is bloody around in the office - I decided to check out my condo defects. Man. Suffice to say I wasn't too please. The first time, I guess I was too excited about getting my place and the second time, was carried away with my friend telling me what's nice about my place.
Well, this time, with a clear mind and a useful flourescent lamp to light the rooms for me to check it out.... I headed to my condo for my next inspection...Man, when I see the finishing I want to FINISH the developer's HEAD OFF. Anyway, I guess Paramoden was in a hurry to ensure they get MMU and LUCT tenants in time for the June intake! True, enough, so many units were occupied on my block!
Anyway, dunno which bloody chinaman contractor they got, they better make good with my unit. So far, am moderately happy with the customer service, very happy about the facilities, dissapointed with the poor and rushed finishing, happy with the features like the alarm system, ethernet ports and centralized astro.
BUT: Why the hell you have a rule book that says occupants cant hang clothes in the balcony when all the damn students do it anyway. Ah well, you have to understand, living in a student infested area. Why the hell do you build a water outlet for all aircons but dont have a hole for piping for the compressor? Why do malaysia contractors do a sub-par job only to keep coming back later to fix it and spend more resources? BODOH! Do a good job the first time!
I can smile a bit. At least I know Mel and I can really make the place look good after they fix up the mess. Boy, oh boy, tomorrow we really gonna be kicking up a fuss at customer service....

PENANG HOUSE
Just had lunch by myself. Had to do a few things: 1. pump petrol full tank RM 43.80... 2. withdraw money to pay bills.
So, drove to the nearest petrol station in Putrajaya. Despite Cyberjaya being so-called self supporting .... we don't have a bloody petrol station yet. Grrr.... Anyway pumped a full tank, was hoping the ATM was a RHB at Petronas... nope, no such luck.. Maybank instead... So, drove to the nearest RHB in Precinct-dunno-what. Managed to get a parking immediately in that busy area as some guy vacated his (thank you God for small things like that!!!). Anyways, had to make a decision where to fill my tummy. My choices were (at that building) Baker's St. Bakery, Mamak Nasi Kandar and guess what ... Penang House.... yes, Penang House, a branch of the money-making shop at Cyberjaya Street Mall.
A place where I remember ALWAYS having to wait like centuries for what I always order - Fried Rice ADD egg.... Hmm... went upstairs, opened the door, and there it was... Penang House, smart marketing and tactics and now bringing chinese food to the masses. Waiters and drinks were malay staff but the kitchen and owner all chinese. Man, they are making money. At first the crowd didnt seem to be that many so I decided to take the risk of waiting and order my usual FRIED RICE ADD EGG..... to my horror, there was this big order of like ta pau for the entire office by someone, and I ended up AGAIN waiting like 30 mins for my FRIED RICE ADD EGG... Same restaurant, same grumbling, same fried rice only in Putrajaya.... HAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHHA.....

LONG WEEKEND REPORT WITH PICTURES
Friday nite: Mel and I bumming around with Chern, Gabe (just came from Penang) and Elliot. Mamak and then San Fran.
Saturday & Sunday & Monday: Mel and I 3 days 2 nights in Penang with Jimmy, Joyce and Hoe. Stayed at Leisure Bay, last-minute managed to get an apartment thanks to Mel's Dad... every hotel was booked. Took us like 7 hours just to get to Penang on Saturday. Gasp. Highway driving mostly by Jimmy and Hoe. In Penang, was me.... The usual things were done.... meals at Lorong Selamat and Swatow ..... night shopping at Bt. Feringgi... Shopping at Gurney and DVD hunting.... Other than that... Fun at the beach.... Dinner at Tambun (delicious... seafood for 5 at RM90 only can u believe it... crabs, prawns etc) ... the drive back to KL wasnt so bad... pretty smooth, arrived at midnight.
Anyways, still managed to watch footie with Hoe on Sunday nite at Tari Cafe (located just at the entrance of Leisure Bay).
Yesterday was quite fruitful... Yes, placed an order for my walk-in wardrobe at Sliderdrobe in PJ. Happy happy (except my wallet). Nothing really extravagant, but at least something close to what Mel and I designed... At my budget, this was a great buy.
