So grateful to find out they’re harmless! They still terrify me. God they’re fast and big! I’m more afraid of my toddler grabbing one and trying to eat it. LOL. Thank you for putting my mind at ease about dying from one of these guys! (I’m a coward, I know.)

Comment on Dead twice! by Kitchenaid KSM150

Kitchenaid KSM150 — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 03:58:40 +0000

I sympathize with your frustration in getting it fixed. I have found over the years that to spend the extra money and buy a quality built appliance from a brand name manufacturer is most often the best bet.

If you get stuffed around anymore by the service agent go straight to the CEO of the manufacturer of the Princess machine and lodge a complaint with him or her. I find this works exceptionally well with all warranty claims when the service people just don’t care. Good luck with this.

I have discovered my second giant spider here Uruma City, OKinawa. First was taken outside by my hubby. But this time, hubby is in Philippines. OMG! Even though they are harmless, I am ridiculously, shamefully scared of spiders.
What do I do to prevent them from coming inside my house? My windows have nets, is there a spray to spray around the windows?
Please help!
Sally

Comment on Skynet’s bad service by E-fashion Wardrobe

E-fashion Wardrobe — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 01:00:50 +0000

I got a parcel yesterday but I wasn’t at home to receive it. They did not call my hp before they come. All this while they would call me first but not this time. I called their office this morning to tell them to deliver again today, but nobody picked up. And now that they have changed phone number, they only have 1 line available for us to call. Anyone know of any other alternative lines? Thanks.

I experienced their bad service today. The delivery man just threw the delivery notice into the mailbox outside the main gate without even trying to call the guard to get in to deliver my package. So now I have to drive all the way to collect it.

I think all skynet branches are the same. Mine was suppose to deliver to JB from KL. YUP,the same lie ( no one at home), rude customer rep, and even suggested me to give another address or my parent’s number. I said NO, just post it to the address given. The lady threatned me that I need to come to the office to claim it if no one at home again…phewww.N yeah they don’t call,they MISSCALLED.We need to call them.

Latest Update: Our Princess bread maker is really dead now. We did not use it very much so I think the quality really sucks. If you are looking for a bread maker, don’t buy Princess, according to our experience. After sales service is bad too.

Dr. Keong:

Convince me that you’re also one in the 15% of the world population that do not use cellphone, on the grounds that the microwave radiation of cellphone could cause cancer — just like what you believe in the nuclear radiation from a nuclear power plant.

And do you seriously think that burning candles is green and harmless to health? How naive.

Bard Candy: Are you a fan of Einstein?

Comment on Nuclear power plant for Malaysia? by Bard Candy

Bard Candy — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 03:53:02 +0000

Most insightful and thought provoking. Nuclear Reactors are definitely not meant to be in Malaysia. As we excel in science and research the world is opening up its resources to us.

Rudolph Diesel deifinitely did not think of making diesel from algae. (It was peanuts actually.)

Same as to using Biomass and other forms to derive our energy needs. Nuclear reactors are becoming some what obsolete. ( I’d believe Einstein would be pleased with this.)

Those billions can be put to good use and place us (Malaysia) in a better light.

I think its all goes down to self control, technology is merely a tool. How you use it solely dependent on you.

Apple acts like a big dad commanding those that can’t control themselves to follow the rules or leave.

Just like a jail system. “We’ll control you for the sake of yourself”

Android is your buddy ,if you don’t like big daddy.

I would rather have a CANDLE than CANCER. Therefore, I would rather just have my CANDLES than live beside a NUCLEAR power plant.

For sure I will ONLY elect a goverment who can promise a nuclear-free Malaysia.

Comment on School Registration Day by Adrian Hoe

Adrian Hoe — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 14:07:59 +0000

Bring along your child’s birth certificate to the school you want to register to. Go to the school office during their office hour. If there is any seat available, they shall be able to register your child. The office will record your child and your details and stamp on the back of your child’s birth certificate.

The school will send a letter to you when your child is ready to enter school at the age of 7.

I hope this helps.
