Getting electricity into your home.

How many of you guys know the process to get electricity into your home? Most house developers get this done for you but what if you recently bought a house and need to get power into your new home. Let me tell you how because I can proudly say that now I am a house owner. Yup, I bought a house. (Applause).

There are a few things that you need to do & have before you visit Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB). Make sure you visit the Kedai Tenaga that is nearest to the house you want the electricity put into.

Sale & Purchase Agreement

First thing you need is the Sale & Purchase Agreement (S&P or some people call it SPA). This document is the agreement between you (buyer) and seller. It states that you agree to purchase the house from the seller. Basically, TNB wants to see this document so that it is proof that you own the house.

Get the S&P copied (photostated, is this correct?). First step done!

Photocopy IC

This is a must for most of these type of processes. Get one copy of your I/c done and make sure both sides (front and back) are done.

Application Form

You can get the forms from your nearest Kedai Tenaga for free. Fill up the details as stated on the form. Leave the parts that you are not sure about and ask about them when you want to submit the forms.

Deposit

You need to put a deposit when you apply because TNB wants to cover any losses if let say you did not pay your bill. I am not sure how much you need to prepare. The deposit is based on how big is your house. Meaning that, the bigger your house, the larger the deposit.

My advice is to just bring RM 1000 to be safe. I only paid RM 240 for mine.

Stamp Hasil

Lastly, buy two Stamp Hasil @ RM 10 each from the post office. Bring this together when submitting the forms.

So, those are the things that you need to have to get the power in your house. Easy enough huh?

Bahasa Melayu or English to Blog?

Aku buat pemerhatian trafik ke blog aku ini, kalau aku buat entry dalam bahasa Melayu, ramai juga yang tinggalkan komen. Bila banyak komen yang di tinggalkan (takdelah banyak mana, lebih dari 5 pun dah cukup bagus) bermakna ramai yang baca. Tapi bila aku buat posting dalam English, kurang pulak komen yang dapat bermakna tak ramai yang berminta membaca. Mungkin juga sebab entri aku tu membosankan untuk di baca, tak tahulah.

So, aku decide untuk selang seli between posting dalam bahasa Melayu & English. Kadang-kadang aku buat bahasa rojak atau mix both languages. Maybe some people akan kata merosakkan bahasa, tetapi aku tak berapa setuju dengan pendapat tu. As long as apa yang aku nak get across di fahami, then good enough untuk aku.

 Bahasa rojak ke rojak buah lagi sedap?

Aku jarang jumpa bloggers Melayu yang totally blog dalam English. Adik aku blog guna English & dia nak tutup blog dia (www.braincellkilla.blogspot.com) sebab katanya tak ada yang nak baca. Ada juga aku cakap pada dia kalau nak get more readers, kenalah tukar berblogging dalam bahasa Melayu. 

Pada aku, jika kita blogging in English, kita ada peluang untuk dapat readers from outside Malaysia. Blogging dalam English pun boleh tolong kita improve pemahaman English dalam hidupan harian dan bukan aje dalam kelas atau di sekolah.

Pernah tak korang fikir macam tu? So, apa pendapat kawan-kawan bloggers tentang bahasa dalam berblogging?? Bahasa Melayu? English? Suka hati bahasa apa nak di guna??

P/s: Minta maaf jika rojak bahasa yang aku buat ni tak berapa sedap. Kuah rojak tak cukup pedas kot?

Burger Hunt: Carl's Jr Charbroiled Burgers @ One Utama Damansara

 Carl's Jr. One Utama Damansara

My wife & I went to One Utama Damansara yesterday to start shopping for baby stuff. Got to get the shopping done before she gets too big (she is already quite pregnant now, 7 months to be exact) and it's in a nice way of bigness (is there such a word?). We took some time out for lunch and the wife being a virgin to Carl's Jr, so we headed that way. Which way? Carl's Jr lah wei...hehehe...yeah, lame joke. Tough crowd.

This is my second trip to Carl's Jr (first was at Mid Valley, thanks to Hanafi) and the wife's first, so she took quite a while to "study" the menu. Finally, she decided on the Chicken Crispy Combo (RM 17.20) and I tried the Portobello Mushroom Combo (RM 22.90). I got an additional 10% discount using my UOB One credit card, great! 

free refills....i like!!!

They gave us our order number (to be put on the table) and told us to wait for our orders to be sent to our table. The funny thing was, the person sending our order had to wait for us because both of us took our sweet time to fill up our drinks at the drinks station.

Crispy Chicken & Portobello Mushroom

The burgers were juicy and fresh but a little bit smaller than the last time I remember. Carl's Jr fries could give McDonald's fries a run for their money. I particularly like the free refills that are not limited to just Coca Cola (like McDonald's).

The wife could not contain herself for her first bite and I just managed to get a shot in.

See how big her smile is....

Back to the burgers, my words won't do them justice. So, here they are.

Will surely come again to Carl's Jr. to try out the other burgers, sandwiches and the intriguing Chili.
