Re: HELP NEEDED from Bro Wuqi,section of the plaster has fallen down from the ceiling

Hi Bro Wuqi, I believe that part was patched by the previous owner before and the patched part has collasped.. There is no leakage problem and no discolouration.. Owner is a datuk in KL, and agent is a Uncle... Not sure its a big enough problem to bother him with.. I think he will think its a small problem and ask me to handle myself..


From the looks of it, there is a clear sign that that area has been repainted before due to the toning being slightly different from other parts of the ceiling beside.. So I surmise someone patched and repainted it.. I don't think agent will blame it on me as I have known him for more than 1 year already since I moved here.. Even if I am tasked to patch it up, its unlikely to cost much also..


This doesn't seem like a structural problem, could be that there is no layer of cement under the concrete as I initially thought because for HDB flats, people just paint the concrete right? No one puts a thin layer of concrete under the hard concrete... The concrete that fell down could be patched work and has given way..


I think I might not tell the agent as it doesn't seem to be a massive problem after second thoughts.. Unless half the ceiling paint comes down, I think I will just leave it for now... Took some pictures of the mess and cleaned it up already..

Ok good, glad that you are in control. To be on the safe side, let the agent know and that you will take care of it so as to have no disputes if anything happens. At least keep the pictures, yes taking pictures was good with the dates recorded on it as future proof. It could be just cheap plastering to cheaply clean up a defect.

Not sure if u guys remember the PHD neighbour or so he claims... That guy has moved away already... I think these few days a new neighbour has arrived.. Hope that this guy is a better neighbour than that PHD fellow...


Some aunties and uncles claim that there are new semi detached houses in Kulai or Mega Ria or something going for 400RM or less... Not sure if its true..


This place I am currently staying is safe enough and there is a laundry, bus stop is also very near the guard house... Tempted to move but still considering...

Glad you are happy there. Nice place it seems. Don't if you are happy living there. Kulai is cheaper as compared and will have great potential in the coming years
along with Senai. Only trouble is one cannot buy them if you are a foreigner unless you get something that transacts at 500k.

There are actually lots of cars going for even below that, go to www.carlist.com.my. Always a good place to start searching.
The road tax is about 90 RM for a 1.6l car and 800 plus for a 2.5l turbo diesel one. You should definitely think of getting one
since you should be able to park in your condo.

Thanks Bro Wuqi... I have a question I need to ask you... I have PM you..

Sometimes getting lost is half the fun. Hope that your GPS is working fine now.

Re: Hahahaha ! Sorry lah !

Agree. I always find something new when making wrong turns, enter wrong taman etc. but not recommended if driving alone la, one might get panicked or distracted

Sometimes getting lost is half the fun. Hope that your GPS is working fine now.

Re: Which gps should I buy?

I bought a PAPAGO R6600 last year and til now haven't been able to update my maps :( I keep going around in circles when trying to locate the free maps to download (pun intended!). Need one especially for JB/Malaysia.
Anyone with a clear set of instructions on how to do proper updating?

Went to suntec... Very crowded... I tot it's a IT show but end up going to the bridal show,... Went the other room the Bodyshop show..... I tot only IT show also got other show!!..

Very messy.... Passby a booth selling GPS... Ok la.. Anything la...
End up buying PAPAGO Gps. I bought the one with 6" LCD so it will be easy to view while driving..
Got a free US map. A screen film and a pouch. Still trying to figure how to use..
$328 I think is the price. Can store mp3, photos, videos also. I ask them got Garmin, I dun think they have.
Think have to update.. Will figure out later in the morning.

Re: Hahahaha ! Sorry lah !

Does this incur data charges? I'm thinking it's pretty expensive when roaming around for hours (or across a few days when on holiday) in Malaysia, or am I mistaken?
Will likely be getting an Android phone later this year so maybe I'll stop using my GPS then if there's minimum/no charges. The PAPAGO is in always stored in my car anyway so there's no loss either way

Now still got people by GPS? So old school man!! Watch this video to get updated!!!

Re: HELP NEEDED from Bro Wuqi,section of the plaster has fallen down from the ceiling

it's just the wrong mix of cement and sand. OR maybe can plaster it with compoundQUOTE=RafflesTiger;1042180]Maybe not fake cement... Probably the hard cement is pretty hard to stick to and whatever that is patched might be dislodged after a while[/QUOTE]

I bought some white cement from DIY shop but lazy to do it... When I touched the part that fell out, the cement melted... Its definitely not right if something can just crack like that

Re: Which gps should I buy?

Hi, I just bought a Morbella GPS at Suntec PC show today without researching. Bought just because it was the only brand I could find and at $169. Also, it is a Singaporean product.Oh no, pls do not tell me I made a mistake. I dont think i have heard of this brand
before.

Now you could tell me if I have just thrown away $169. :*:
