Mosquito Breeding Grounds

I remember the time when we first moved into our neighbourhood 2 years ago in July 2009. At that time, there was relatively not many mosquitoes.  Then came the earthworks which commenced somewhere around the end of 2009 and beginning of 2010 to prevent mudslides from flowing down the road into our neighbourhood housing area below (D'Villa vicinity).

Since the construction of the retention ponds to prevent mudlfows whenever it rains heavily, our neighbourhood has been besiged by the relentless growth & multiplication of mosquitoes. I believe the retention pond in the construction site at the hillside next to our neighbourhood (pls. see photo above marked in red) has caused the mosquitoes numbers to multiply many many fold. This is causing worries & anxieties to many of us about the spread of Aedes mosquitoes.

Maybe someone need to complain to the local authorites (MBPJ) Health Division about this nuiisance mosquito breeding ground to arrest and contain this health menace!

House Break-In @ 2.00 pm 24 April 2011 (Sunday)

Dear Residents,

A house break-in happened around 2:00 pm, Sunday, 24 April, 2011 (Look at the date & time at the bottom of each snapshot picture when my house CCTV was replayed & paused). It happened to Mr. James Leong's house, 11, Jln. Kenyalang 11/4C, which is just next to Jeffrey Ooi's house (2 doors away from my house).

His alarm went off around that time, and he reach home about 10 min. after the break-in. I think he also got a call from Mr. Jeffrey Ooi about his house alarm setting off.

From my CCTV video replay, I think there were 2 cars involved in the break -in, First of all the dark-colour Proton Persona which was driven by a lady with a tudung I guess (cant see clearly from my CCTV camera angle) will stop at their targetted house (occupied but owner not in) to ring the door bell to confirm that the owner is not in. After that, it could be that the 1st car will call the 2nd BMW car within the same vicinity to come & break-in. This is my theory judging from my CCTV sequence of the time & movement of the 2 cars recorded.

It was fortunate that Mr. James Leong came back after his handphone was alerted by the house alarm & came back to check. He saw some guys jump over to the next door fence (unoccupied house) when he arrived. I think they must have left coolly after taking his laptop, passport, and some other items as the Proton Persona on the lookout must have alerted them about the return of James Leong.

Please be on the look out for any suspicious car like those in the pictures esp. during the day time when there is no security guard.

So far, I think 4 houses in my row (Jln.Kenyalang 11/4C)  have CCTVs (Edward Lu, mine, Jeffrey Ooi & Mr. Thomas Wong) Please let us know if others also have CCTVs so that we can form a useful network to record any incidents like these and replay them for evidence when needed. Mine has the storage capacity to store about 2 and the half months recordings (1 TerraByte hard disk). Mind you most of our CCTVs are only PAL 4 CIF resolution which is only 704 x 576 pixels (not clear enough to capture details like car plate nos). Only the latest new HD (High Definition) CCTVs in the market can capture those details @ 1920 x 1200 pixels resolutions but will take much much bigger storage and cost many times more than our ordinary PAL analog CCTVs.

This is the 2nd incident of house break-in in our neighbourhood. The 1st incident happened to our 1st resident, Pn. Anita on the 24 July, 2009, a day before the 3 of us neighbours (Jaseni, myself & Jeffrey) moved in.

Low Water Pressure @ our neighbourhood

I notice that the water pressure in our housing area has gotten very low as compared to the days when we 1st moved in July 2009. Take a look at the reading of the incoming water pressure reading taken off the pressure gauge attached to my water filter below :

This reading of 0.5 bar (8 psi) in mid afternoon is kinda low I think. The water pressure gets slightly better at night when the reading becomes about 0.8 bar (12 psi). Maybe we should request Syabas to come and take a look at the low water pressure in our housing area.

According to Syabas' Client charter (http://www.syabas.com.my/), it states that :

The Company aims to provide adequate water supply with the following minimum residual gauged pressure at the point of connection during peak flow in the long term :

Rural : 10 m.

Urban : 22 m. 

Maybe someone from Syabas can convert that meter head to psi or bar readings for us.

Cute Beagel in Pet Shop in Giant Kota Damansara

While I was walking from the Giant Kota Damansara car park to take the lift up to the news agent shop to buy my early morning papers on 23 Jan 2011, I came accross this cute Beagel dog at the Pet shop in Giant Kota Damansara. I couldn't help but took my h/p out to snap some pics of this cute dog looking alittle forlorn and bored sitting on his toy gorilla doll. Perhaps it was saying that I have flattened this gorilla on the floor whilst playing with it or perhaps it was finding some warmth sitting on top of this doll on the cold morning.



The 2nd pic tells a story of boredom with no where to turn to to find the company that it needs, perhaps hoping for a kind loving pet lover to come and bring it home.
