Why Nova Wants To Stay At Sentul?

I have moved 6 times since graduate from my university, Northern University Of Malaysia (UUM) . The sequence is; UUM--->Ipoh--->Singapore--->Cheras--->PJ--->Genting Kelang---->Sentul (Now). Yes moving is not easy at all and you can say that again.

Why my place is so nice? I am staying at Melur Apartment. Its directly opposite Sentul Timur LRT station. That is half minute walking distance. Its very easy to board train from this station because its the first/last station. Then its connected to Titiwangsa monorail station. Walking from Star to Monorial Titiwangsa is about 1 to 2 minutes and its a covered link. Again, Titiwangsa is the first/last monorail station. From there I can easily take train to my office which is near Raja Chulan Station.

My apartment has 3 rooms. I am taking the master bedroom. Our unit is facing KLCC, KL Tower and Eye Of Malaysia. Its veryyyyyyyyyyy nice. Its on 24th floor thus its great to have the feeling of everything under your feet. While writing this blog I am actually looking at KLCC. Our balcony, master bedroom and middle room has view facing all those Malaysia's landmark.

I am using Izzy wireless broadband. Apparently the speed at here is above satisfaction. And its damn cheap. I am only paying RM66 per month without any phone line. It saved me the hassle to apply for streamyx line or request change line when i move. Izzy can be setup in less than 5 minutes time.

The residence demographic here are generally Malay and with some Indian and foreigners. Anyway I am not a racist guy. Infact I think the Malay here are more educated and friendly. They talk to us when we first move in and some even help us to move our stuff. That gave me a very good experience about this place.

Standard Chartered Bank Has No Standard

For the past few month, I have been trying to apply for few mortgage products. All banks will be able to give me their quotation or offer letter in about 2 weeks time while some are just in the matters of 3 to 4 days. The worst application was to Standard Chartered Bank. I waited and waited and waited for more than 1 month and they gave me the quotation for the wrong product. Then claim that they do not have enough information and keep calling me and my property agents for few times a time. I was so pissed off and say, please don't process my application and they call and beg and beg me. Eventually the offer that I got, I was loaded on the offering rate.

Look at the advertisement! KLIBOR + 1% my ass! Even the agent agree and promise in principle that the rate is KLIBOR + 1%... and after all those hassle and delays... they offer me KLIBOR + 1.6%. Immediately without hesitate I say NO to the offer.

Few days after that their mortgage samseng call me. Complaning that after all the "hassle" (this is the exact word used by the officer) I don't want to take the product. I told her that the hassle was given to me! not to you! I waited for so long and your offer is sooo soo sooo late and the rate sucks.

Everyone, please don't waste your time to apply this product. Say NO to them. Thanks.

Domino Pizza Delivery Is Super Chio!

Today is the day before exam.... its all doomy and gloomy day. My housemates are all out leaving me alone at home... and my stomach was roaring! I remember reading some good comments about domino pizza delivery .. thus I just give it a try...

I have never done pure online ordering... I don't even need a phone to do this ordering... just internet... The website is quite interactive... but a bit kiddo type... anyway generally i still give 5 stars scoring for their website.

After I placed my order, its written there... business starts at 11am and first delivery to arrive at 1130am.... but wait! my time is only 1050am.....shit! wondering if there anyone processing my order... anyway i just patiently wait....

wait...wait...wait.... until almost forgotten and "beep beep" my time is 1130am liao. Where the $%^& is my pizza! When i pick up my handphone and want to call them , suddenly "PIZZA ORDER!"...."PIZZA ORDER!"...."PIZZA ORDER!".... I was stunt, i looked at the time again exactly 1130am... i thought i'm too hungry and dreaming that the pizza boy is here.... after 3rd time calling, i ran out and really see the pizza boy there... with the big smile on my face, i said "hey you are VERY punctual!". He just smiled back.

Things that suppose to be hot are still hot and things that suppose to be cold are still cold! Damn.... while eating and writing this.... i really again impressed with them...

Hey NOVA, you have nothing else to write? Why write about pizza in your banking hall blog? Ok ok ok.... there are some financial thing that we can talk about them....

First of all Domino pizza is FREE DELIVERY! No hidden cost etc... Not like others with minimum order or RM3 etc for delivery. Look! Petrol price is up... driving there and come back would have cost me a few buck for the sky rocketing petrol... also save a lot of hassle for car park, getting a table and travelling time...

Secondly, now only i realise! Their menu price is net of all *&^%$#$ charges. I ordered the value meal 2 which is RM34.80... no more no less... I really hate it when PIZZA HUT charges those 10% service fees and 5% government fees. To be frank, i think PIZZA HUT's service sucks to the max. There is NO service at all... why charge service fees? Salad and soup have to take myself. Ask for fork/spoon their face turn black... damn.. For me, the service charge of 10% is a daylight robbing. Domino pizza is very clear about their pricing policy... just the net price shown, no hidden charge.

Congratulation to Domino pizza, i'll definately order again!!!! Yummy!!!!
