83. rachel rays @ Nusa Idaman
weekend 17-18/04/10
our cafe is officially open for business. The utensils and ingredients abt 40% available so 1st attempt a simple menu of bbq grill chicken wings with main dish ikan-bilis friedrice.
No gas yet for the main cooking stove so the above was achieved on a small portable electric stove. Nothing fancy, elaborate or time consuming....here @ syurgawijr cafe going to keep it simple and easy the rachel rays ways. Quick, delicious and hopefully healthy.

81. Refund of renovation deposit
Monday, 05/04/10 went to Nusa Idaman Customer Service office to submit the refund form. Was attended by a nice malay lady (sorry the name just escape me now) thank you very much dear. The refund would only be ready in a month time - to wait for them to call us for collection.
Since she asked us to fill up a survey form had to feedback on the lapses and lack of security at our precint. were told they received numerous complains also and the matter has escalated to top management (bawak ke meeting kot)

went to sales office across the road visiting Irene unfortunately missed her, had a good chat with Bob & Ayu though. Were told that sporean still able to buy houses at JB at rm$250k only up till this july 2010 as the lawyer informed that the ruling above rm$500k will apply after this month. So to those has intention still got hope but do it fast before the govt revert.

78. aerial
Sun, 28/03/10
We decided to have a separate aerial installed as astro doesnt has spore channels.
the tv guys came again the following day to fix the tall aerial up on the roof. after the fixing when he done fine tuning all the captured signals received now we have very clear spore stations and added bonus of 8 indonesian channels.
so many shows/programs/dramas to view wat with astro channels how to watch all during the weekends.
Two small tweaking we need to address are:
1. a decoder for the astro to view at multiple TVs with each remote (set back same channel viewing)
1. a switch splinter to enable viewing thru normal channels direct from aerial or from disk satellite astro channel
the above 2 will be done this coming sunday, 4/4 another appt with the apek guys.
will update total cost after completion.
77. Astro
Sat, 27/03/2010
We had an appointment with the TV guys to install our aerial & astro. We didnt engage them thru direct counters that could be found at giant or tesco supermarkets but instead from a flyer contact found inserted at our mailbox about 3 days ago. Found from 4X that getting this apek guy is more expensive rm$50 for astro installation while direct astro counter rm$30 but we decided to go ahead with calling the shop as we also found out from abgK whom registered direct from astro counter that it had been more than 1 week nobody contacted him for installation. Paid extra rm$20 to get prompt delivery would be more value that doing the waiting game.
They came ard 6.00 pm and directly fixed the Astro satellite up at the roof. The apek fill up the registration form for us which they require a photocopy of IC and being a foreigner they need a copy of utility bill also to verify us as the home owner. The package that we took was apart from the many channels of free available 2 mini ie fun (cartoon) and learning (discovery channel) + sport costing mthly subscription of RM$60. He informed that he need to send the form to KL for registration and ask to wait for 2-3 days for KL to call us to activate. And (un)expectedly on last Tuesday a lady from astro KL office called me up to verify all the particulars and informed that it will be activated in 2 days time. Now being saturday we've Astro channels alredi. best.
