I bought a Daikin Inverter 1HP aircond at JH Home Appliance Sungai Buloh and found it is cheaper vs Shopee. I found the shop by accident when I wanted to buy archery for my son.

I was cheaper vs I bought at Shopee even thought at Shopee they gives you coins cashback but I found it is still expensive after include the delivery costs.
The sales person said the appliance price will increase by July due to diesel subsidy rationalization etc. So better buy by this month June to lock the price.

I went to LA Sport the popular archery shop to buy bows and arrows for my son. Surprisingly, the shop was really busy not stop people coming to buy archery and its accessories.
The shop has lots of choices of archery and accessories.

Overall Review
In term of price, I’m not sure whether it is cheaper here because I don’t have time to compare but the sales person was really helpful and they serve you really fast even though there were so many customers.

I have Stanley Random Orbital Sander, its velcro was detached from its pad. So I need to replace it and bought the new velcro at Chin Chun Sungai Buloh.
How To Replace?
I just need to remove the 4 screws and then put the new velcro pad and screw everything back. It was quite easy.

I bought an Ikea Hemnes drawers on 28th April 2024 at Ikea Damansara. The price is RM1,599. I found it a bit expensive with its simple design but it feel robust compare to other Ikea drawers.
ikea hemnes drawer price rm1559
How Long It Takes To Assemble It?
I took me nearly 7 hours to assemble it. The manual instruction is easy to follow. The most hard part for me is to nail the back cardboard.

Quality
Everything is good except one drawer that doesn’t move that smooth.
Why I choose Ikea Hemnes because Hemnes is one of Ikea drawers that put iron rod under the drawer to ensure the drawer is not bent over the years.

Recently my son PC couldn’t boot up. I bought it at Viewnet less than 2 years ago and I notice most of components are still under warranty.
I’m buying most of my PC now at Viewnet because I found it has cheaper price vs other shops.
I did the warranty claim without receipt because the technician able to trace back the hardware serial number to its receipt.
Send for Warranty Claim
I went to Viewnet Service Centre and the technician informed me that to do inspection they will charge RM30 not inclusive of any repair cost.
I send and left the PC at Viewnet Service Centre in the morning around 1030AM and Viewnet technician responded to me on the problem found at 630PM on same day via WhatsApp.
According to the technician, it is due to faulty Kingston SSD and fortunately it is still under warranty so I can claim warranty from manufacturer and Viewnet will do it for me.

Only thing not happy they charge me RM80 just to replace my SSD. It should be lower.
Saya mengecat semula pagar rumah saya kerana adanya kesan karat dan cat pagar yang dah pudar. Saya memilih cat yang sama warna dengan warna cat sebelum ini tetapi bila cat warna coklat tu agak cerah berbanding dengan cat sebelum ini.
Saya teruskan cat semua pagar kerana dah beli 1 liter cat Nippon Paint pada harga RM48. Nanti bazir pulak kalau tak pakai.
Saya mulakan cat pada petang Jumaat dalam pukul 430PM – 10 Mei 2024 dan siap cat separuh pagar pada pukul 6PM.
Saya sambung cat pada pagi Ahad dalam 830AM dan siap cat dalam pukul 10AM.
Menggunakan cat Nippon Paint Colourlite sangatlah mudah macam sapu keju atas pagar kerana cat yang agak pekat. Selalunya cat cair. Cat yang cair ambik masa nak mengecat.
Selain itu cat Nippon Paint ini cepat kering. Selepas saya cat, hujan turun renyai-renyai tetapi cat tidaklah rosak seperti yang saya jangkaan.
Saya juga dibantu oleh anak saya Hadien dalam kerja-kerja mengecat ini.

I bought an Isano 20m Garden Hose Reel set to replace my old and stiff hose. At first I want to buy same hose like mine before because the price is cheaper only at RM50.
After second thought I chose Isano because of its quality, durability and it wont get easily bend and block the water flow.
I bought it at RM108 at Chin Chun near Denai Alam.
Installation was easy and you can change accessories easily. The only problem I had was the water leaking form the water tap. It seems the hose didn’t connect tightly with the water tap.
I installed the Isano Garden hose reel on 12th May 2024.

I wonder what is the best price to buy this property and get reasonable rental return.
So to do that I’ll do some analysis on:
1) Location Desirability
2) The Unit Furnishing
3) How Much To Renovate
3) Competitors Comparison For Sale
4) Rental Demand
Location Desirability
The end lot unit is located at 159, Jalan Elektron U16/93, Denai Alam, 40160 Shah Alam, Selangor.
It is nearby to major shop lots in Denai Alam where it has Speedmart, Family Mart, Bank Islam, restaurants and fast food like Mcdonalds & Marrybrown.

Unforeseen repair – RM5,000

Asking Price For Sale
I compared 2 properties at Denai Alam but not in Jasmine that both have kitchen cabinet & seems have extended the houses.
Property: Denai Alam Dillenia – Intermediate
Asking Price: RM800,000
Land size:22×80 sqft
Price per sqft: RM454 per sqft
Property: Denai Alam Nerida – Intermediate
Asking Price: RM850,000
Land size: 22×90 sqft
Price per sqft: RM429 per sqft
Asking Price Analysis
If I compared vs Jasmine unit I bought last year, it seems the end unit is cheaper by 21%.
So meaning the asking price is reasonable?
jasmine denai alam comparison analysis
Rental Demand
Estimated monthly loan installment for asking price of RM725,000 with 30 year tenure and 4.4% is RM3,267.
Rental around that area to get fast tenant with the given furnishing and the end lot unit size, I would conservatively estimate at only RM2,000 per month.
So there is a big difference of RM1,267 to cover the loan installment.
From mudah.my, rental asking price is around RM2,500 but most of them are fully furnished.
denai alam property list for rental
Conclusion
If I compared vs Jasmine unit I bought last year, it seems the end unit is cheaper by 21% but it is expensive by 21% vs the transacted property unit at Jasmine last year 31/07/2023.
Of course the renovation is just rough estimation but it gives good indicator on whether the unit asking price is reasonable vs unit I bought last year and vs other units in Denai Alam.
If I got money, I would consider buying it after do physical inspection and wait to price to reduce more because I am jealous with the low transacted price of 31/07/2023 but financially in order to cover its loan installment as the rental is not that high.
