She loves to play in the grass ground…watering and finding inserts hidden in the grass…

I wonder what was on her mind…

Photo at my main door entrance…

Posted on August 25th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

The printing quality is perfect. Simple frame as I do not want the frame to overshadow the photo itself.

The photo was taken in Japan, during sakura viewing season.

On the right is my main door entrance. Top has 3 spotlights shinning to the photo. The wall in the direct end will have a shoe rack there later (already half built, will be completed this week…the designer and maker have delayed and delayed for me…).

Cost of printing and framing = RM170.00. Size 24R. Yes, it is HUGE!

Digi Cheating! Check your phone bill!

Posted on August 21st, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Computer / IT.

I just received my Digi bill today, and the payment due date is tomorrow. So, I have to immediately do online payment to them.

Few minutes ago, my friend called me and complaint about his digi phone bill. Then only I realized that Digi actually charges May and June and July calls to ONE bill! This is crazy and unfair to those who have subscribe to the Max Usage plan.

Why?

Let me explain. If you subscribed to Digi Max Usage 50 plan, you are entitled to get RM50 rebate maximum for all the call charges you made in that particular month. Say for example if you called RM40 in June, you will need to pay RM50 for the Max Usage 50 plan. However, if you called RM70 in June, then you will have to pay RM70 that month.

Now the unfair part. Since Digi forwarded all the charges of my June calls to July, that makes my June calling bill less than RM25 only but I still have to pay RM50 for it. And, since the call charges is brought forward to July now, the total amount of calls for June and July is RM95 and I have to pay the total of RM95 for it. If June calls was charged in June, then I would have been able to save the RM25 in my Max Usage 50 plan.

This is cheating and unfair to customers! Beware! Go to Digi center and bring your May, June and July bills and complain!

Blood Sucking CIMB Credit Card Charges! Licensed Ah Long!

Posted on August 4th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

Today I checked my credit card bill, and to my shocking, I saw two charges from CIMB bank on my credit card bill:

1. Late Charges = RM34.66

2. Finance Charges = RM36.59

I paid my bill on 10 July 2009, and I think the due date was 06 July 2009. Ok, I was few days late, so I understand that there will be some charges, but I didn’t expect it to be that much!

My total dued amount was only RM3465.68, and the total charges / penalty above is RM71.25, which is equivalent to 2.056% of the total amount that I dued! If you calculated annually, that is equivalent to 24.67% annual charge that CIMB charged you!

Licensed Ah Long, I don’t know how can this Ah Long still exist legally. Realising the crazy rate, I have immediately paid my this month CC bill now. It would be crazy to let CIMB get another cent from my pocket. Crazy…

Sony MP3 Walkman with FM Radio

Got a new toy, free gift when I bought a Sony LCD TV few weeks ago.

Sound is good, but FM receiver not so clear, or poor I would say. Maybe my area not so good in receiving.

Bought a dustbin last week at Jusco.

Quite modern look. Opened is like any other dustbin…to store garbage.

Price? RM45. There are red and blue colour available. I think red suits my house more.

Megumi admitted to Ipoh Specialist

Posted on July 19th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Family.

Megumi is admitted to Ipoh Specialist today, due to continuous fever for 5 days.

I am very down today, worried about her and sad that I couldn’t do anything here. Can only pray to God that Megumi will be fine.

I am very tempted to drive to Ipoh to be with her and my wife…still struggling to go or not…

God, please protect Megumi, heal her, be with her. Please give patience and love and strength to Foong to take care of Megumi. In Jesus Christ name I pray, amen.

Update (25th July 2009):

Thank you very much to those who have shown concerns, Megumi is fine now and have released from the hospital. Thank God.

Get Attention from Police

Posted on July 17th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

An interesting “True Story” and I saw in the net. Author unknown…
————————————-
George Phillips, an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.

He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?”

He said “No,” but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me..

Then the police dispatcher said “All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available.”

George said, “Okay.” He hung up the phone and counted to 30.

Then he phoned the police again.

“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot them.” And he hung up.

Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”

George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”

Bought Another Sony LCD TV - KLV-40S550A (40″ Entry Model)

Posted on July 17th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: House Reno.

I need two TVs for my house, one for living room and another for my bedroom. LCD or Plasma, and I have decided on LCD. Plasma seems darker and not as high resolutions as LCD TV.

I bought one few months ago, Sony KLV-40V400A model, at a bargain price of below RM2.9k (after discount and minus out Jusco voucher) during Jusco Day at Bukit Indah, Johor. Every RM100 purchase will get a RM10 voucher from Jusco during Jusco Day. That model is getting discontinued, hence the bargain price.

The design is quite nice and sleek.

Today, I bought another one, Sony KLV-40S550A, entry model to Sony LCD TV, at RM3030 (after all discount and minus out vouchers). Free one Sony MP3 walkman (2GB only). Newer model but not as high range as the V series. In Sony, S is the entry model, followed by V then W then…etc. (out of my reach). Even the W series is already too expensive for me (over RM6k for 40″).

This is how the S series looks like:

Yeah…quite ordinary look with no shinny side and front panel or translucent panel. Speakers is hidden type.

The salesman is trying to push the V series to me, but I just don’t feel like paying extra RM630 (and no free MP3 player) for the V series with only few insignificant extra features and deco. My wife will definitely go for the cheaper model, and I have told myself initially that I don’t need to spend $$$ for my bedroom TV. After a nearly 45 minutes thought and checking here and there, I decided on the S series. Haha…the salesman sure looks disappointed, but I am quite happy and relief with my decision (my credit card is relief too).

Paypal - Fee Reversal From Cancelled Fee - Cheating?! New Way of Making Money?!

Posted on July 5th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Computer / IT.

Paypal is cheating AGAIN! This time is the CANCELLED FEE!

When you cancel a payment made by someone to you, which you DO NOT want to accept or decided to refund the money, PayPal starting from DON’T KNOW WHEN will charge you a “Cancelled Fee”, which is equivalent to the exact commission that the payee paid to you! So, although you do not receive any payment at the end, you will still be charged for the MONEY! PayPal wins and takes your money no matter what!

I received no email notification of that policy change, and I remember clearly that refund of money to payee used to be FREE within the grace period (60 days). I am shocked when I checked my PayPal account just now, which the so called CANCELLED FEE in every refund that I made to my customers starting from June 2009!

PayPal, really sucks!

Gate Light

Posted on June 20th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: House Reno.

This is what I bought for my gate and fence. Gate is bigger than fence.

Quite modern look, actually quite headache choosing the preferred light. I think this one is acceptable.

Big one is RM88, small one is RM78. Add extra RM10 for the light bulb inside.

Water Filter System - PureGen UF-2000 (Genuine California product?)

Posted on June 19th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Rojak.

I bought a water filter system for my house - Puregen UF-2000.

This is how the produt looks like:

I think it is made in Malaysia, the PureGen logo is just a translucent sticker pasted onto the stainless steel, not direct printing like in the picture above.

I checked Puregen.com website, no information about Malaysia distributor, and I can’t find the above model as well. I have sent them an email inquiry, will see if this is truly a California USA product or not.

How much I paid? RM1200 before installation.

(There is a longer model, UF-2500.)

PayPal Fee Changed but never inform users!

Posted on June 14th, 2009 by KhoKing.
Categories: Computer / IT.

Only last night that I noticed that PayPal has changed their fee structure by imposing fee to all PERSONAL ACCOUNT now for receiving money. It used to be FREE for personal account to receive money, but no more now.

PayPal NEVER inform their members about the change of fee structure. I googled around and noticed complaints from many for such change without informing them. What a shame for PayPal to secretely put fee to Personal Account but never inform their customers.

When checking the Fee Policy page, Singapore is still listed as ZERO fee for personal account receiving money from ready PayPal fund. However, that is NOT TRUE (should I call it a LIE?!). You can see their fee policy at (login required):

https://www.paypal.com/row/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/ua/policy_fees

Here’s the print screen of the Personal Account fee structure:

Again, what a shame for PayPal such a big company to change their fee policy without informing their customers, and also telling LIE as what stated on their Fee Policy page.
