Nice and cheap tiles

I just knew about some owners of Phase 8B are visiting this blog so I want to share (after great survey during my house renovation) with you all, where to buy cheap and nice tiles for your new house. When I say cheap and nice is not those low quality tiles but Swiss-Niro, White Horse etc...

If you are familiar with Serdang, there is a Hardware shop near the Public bank, Petronas Station and traffic light. The shop is facing the junction leading to the new Serdang wet market. Look for Chin Yap Marble & Tile! If you think that the Fourbest Tile at Puchong is cheap then check this shop at Serdang and you will be surprised!

Got water no water got water no water...

Today there is very slow water flow in my pipe....and then no water at all. I called Syabas to complain and just after I put down the phone, the water came back but very low pressure for not even 5 minutes gone again.

Later Syabas called me again saying that the developer is doing some work at Phase 8B and the water will be restored very soon. I think Syabas did a good job responding to customer complain very quickly so it is really a surprise me. Well done Syabas!

Recycle For Charity

There is a shop at Putra Prima Commercial that take in recyclable items and refurbish it to be sold off later. If you are planning to relocate, you can give a call to this shop and ask them to collect those unwanted bulky items like furniture, wardrobe, tables, etc. Instead of throwing it at a dumpsite, you can do your part for charity.

I am not sure what time it opens, but you can give them a call if you want to dispose those rubbish that could be jewels to the unfortunate.

OWNER'S RETURN

Today, I was told by a resident of TPP Ph8A that a lady walk around our taman in the morning and taking picture of some houses and dropping an owner's return form into the mailboxes. The form requires the resident to fill in personal & property info, like Hakmilik No., etc. and also tenant info if rented out. The form is printed on joined letterhead of MPS & Proharta Consultancy S/B. All the contact phone numbers of both MPS & Proharta are clearly stated on the form. Do anyone know about this matter? Please provide your comments or info. Thanks

Rubbish bin - mosquito breeding ground.

Ever wonder why there are so many mosquito at night? Well there maybe a few reasons like the construction at phase 8B, clogged drains, wet and dry season, etc...But I am pretty sure these rubbish bins (pictures) is one of the root cause. The rubbish bin at the playground along Jalan PP2/9 is cemented on the floor and cannot be removed.

Water collected during rain cannot flow out from the bin and become a constant breeding ground for mosquitos. Now it is normal mosquito but I just afraid that this is potential breeding ground for Aedes! I had filed an official complaint to the Majlis Perbandaran Sepang and see whether they will take any action. If not, then the next action would be to post this to newspaper or take action with my own hands like destroy this breeding ground!!! Opps....no...I can be sued for destroying public property. Well, will see how...

Taiwan grass

Please be careful when you are approached by an indian man claiming can plant Taiwan grass for a cheap cost. A resident of Taman Putra Prima 8A encountered such a person and agreed to engage him for the service and paid him a deposit sum. He started to clear the land area to make way for planting the grass but disappeared before getting to the planting part. He even issued an official receipt and provided a handphone number. The resident called the number but never get through. I thank you the resident who informed me and would like to warn all the residents not to fall into such a trap of paying 1st then only will start work. Be extra careful.

Have you paid?

Tomorrow 14 Dec is the last day that the guard house will be hired and operated by the developer. Starting on 15 Dec, either we have no security guard to open the gate for you or you will see continuation of the security guard which is paid by YOU who have contributed to the resident association fund. Have you paid? If not, get your cheque ready else it will not be the same again, next time around...

Looking for nice and cheap paint?

Probably one of the best price offered in town. Look for Petaling Hardware near HSBC bank opposite IOI mall. ICI Pearl Glo selling for MYR88/5 liters and ICI Pentalite selling for MYR78/5 liters. They do not sell Nippon paint....sorry Nippon paint fans!

Phone Line and Broadband

I think many residents are wondering why there are telephone poles at the backyard but TM still not yet install phone line. Well, TM is waiting for the quota to fill up before they will start installing phone lines. If you want a TM phone lines or broadband, you have to apply for it and the more peoples apply for it, the faster it will be connected. At least TM install the phone line poles first as I have heard stories - real stories about some developers do not allow TM to install phone line at their housing area.

David Choong who is one of our resident, and is a registered TM re-seller/Unifi installer, is keeping a close watch with TM on latest update on the service availability. I think we can count on him if he has first hand info or maybe engage him for TM service. Alternatively, you can try the Maxis broadband which work pretty well here which I am using. I checked that P1 WIMAX also available at our Taman but not sure about the signal and usage. Anyone have any experience with the alternative broadband while waiting for TM, feel free to share.

Rubbish collection at the garden

Do you notice that the rubbish in the rubbish bin located at the garden along Jalan PP 2/6 and Jalan PP 2/9 are not collected sometimes by the rubbish collector? The other day, I just ticked them off to collect the rubbish over there which they did. If you happen to be around, then do your part to ask them to collect the rubbish at the garden/playground.

The cover of the rubbish bin sometimes are not properly put in place and worse still when it is opened and allowed mosquito to breed. I think you all know that there are lot of mosquito here especially at night, so do your part, turn the cover over or put it back in place. I have done my part around my area, haven't you?
