PBA & TNB

-

So the purchase of the condo unit is very nearly over. The last step is to receive the title deed from the lawyer after its transfer of ownership is registered by land office. I, together with my mum, sister and hubby, inspected the unit a final time and received the keys from the agent.

Earlier, I was looking up on how to activate electricity and water supply and was exploring the possibility of doing it online. However, the lawyer has passed two copies of the SPA (Sales & Purchase Agreement), via the agent, to me for this purpose. Also, my sister said that from her experience, the process was quick at PBA's office (for water) but took a little longer at TNB's office (electricity). Since I hadn't yet figure out the online process, I decided to do it at their offices. In case there was lack of parking space, I asked Ban to drive me.

First, I had to photocopy my IC, which I did at a photoshop. I also got another copy of the SPA as I anticipated that it would be required by the condo's management office to register me as owner of the unit. 

PBA was quite near and it was near the exit of an expressway too. Fortunately, Ban was driving: there wasn't any carpark spot. Also, same as my sister's experience, the process was quickly done. There were few customers there and I waited only a few minutes before being attended too. It turned out that they needed only the first two and last two pages of the copy of SPA. Sorry, Mother Earth.

We then had lunch at Pho Vietz @Sunway Carnival Mall before going to TNB office, which was a mere 7 minutes drive away. There were ample parking space and so Ban accompanied me to the office. Again, there were few customers and similar to my sister's experience, I had to spend more time there: mainly waiting but it wasn't significantly more. There was a hitch though: they told me that they can't activate my account until the previous owner closes his. They asked me to ask the ex-owner to go to a specific TNB office (something to do with jurisdiction, which puzzled my sister because she didn't need to do it that way when she closed account of her previous accommodation) to close their account and then to ask TNB officer there to activate mine. I asked the agent to inform the owner, who later said it would be done within 6 days.

Last stop was the condo's management office: handed in a copy of the SPA and gave them my phone number. They already knew from the agent and ex-owner that the unit was already sold and so my presence was expected. They just needed my phone number and email address so that they could then ask me for relevant details to register me, as well as provide me instruction on how and where to get the in-house app.

All the above took only 4 hours. Pretty happy and proud of my planning hehehe. Also, thanks to the agent and my sister for information about opening the utility accounts, and Ban for driving me around.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I ...

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

-
(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba...

Sudden lower body pain

-
About two weeks ago, my mum developed pain in her pelvic bone, much more on the right side, and squeezing pain in her legs, with occassional spike in pain. She was managing it with paracetamols, 2 tabs three times daily.  Since we didn't know any particular orthopedist in private hospitals (it was only recently that I remember Dr Prashant ), I targeted one at KPJ Penang Specialist Hospital since it's in mainland Penang (instead of on the island). I made appointment for my mum with Dr Joehaimey since he has the earliest suitable date. The moment she walked through his door, he immediately asked her whether the pain from her right side. We were both quite impressed. He was in turn impressed with mum's prepared list of medication that she presented to him on a piece of paper. The key information seems to be the surgery she had back in 2011 to insert titanium plate and screws in her lower spine. He guessed that there's accumalated wear and tear due to aging. So to confirm i...
