elba kitchen gas hob model EGH-8903Xold gas burner – gap between outer ring and base
The New Burner
I have to buy new burner to replace the old one. I replace the base, outer ring and inner cap.
Actually no need to replace the inner cap because can use the old one but I prefer the burner have the same look and feel as the old burner model is already phased out.

My master bedroom Panasonic aircond of 7 years broke down. I tried to repair it several times but it kept giving me problems. So I decided to buy new one.
Choices of Aircond
I have 2 aircond to consider as replacement:
1) Panasonic Premium Aero Series Inverter 1.5HP R32 gas (Model: CS-U13VKH)
panasonic aircond CS-U13VKH
2) Daikin Smarto Inverter 1.5HP R32 gas (Model: FTKH35A)
daikin smarto FTKH35A
Aircond Considerations
For the aircond, my major considerations are:
1) Reliability
I have 2 Panasonic airconds based on my experience it is reliable doesnt give much problem. Only thing I expect that my Panasonic could last at least 10 years unfortunately only for 7 years.
At same time, I have 2 Daikin airconds so far I cant tell much of it, because I installed it at my rental properties.
So far no complaints from my tenants so it must be reliable.
I asked few servicemen most of them recommend Daikin because easy to service and find spare parts. Panasonic also easy but not as easy as Daikin.
2) Energy saving
Both Daikin Smarto & Panasonic Premium Aero Series are 5 Stars Energy Saving
Panasonic 1,010W
panasonic premium inverter aero series power rating 1:5hp
Daikin 940W
daikin smarto power consumption 1.5HP
3) Smart Features
Both Panasonic Premium Inverter & Daikin Smarto can be controlled via your smartphone and can control it anywhere as it is connected via Wifi. You need first to install its mobile apps.
Daikin Smarto & Panasonic Premium Inverter, you have to purchase its accessories to enable the mobile apps use. You need to buy one adaptor for one aircond. So if you have 5 airconds, you need to buy 5 adaptors.

At this third quarter of the 2019 schooling, we received letter from school requesting confirmation for our son next year enrollment.
They need confirmation so they can plan out next year opening seats for new registration. They offered us a complimentary custom-made poncho for swimming classes and apron for art and culinary classes for confirmation before end October 2019.

For 2019, as usual my maid permit needs to be renewed before her work permit expiry by middle of September 2019.
I proceed with MyEG Services and chose to self collect at MyEG office. Not like 2018, this time they have change office to its own MyEG Tower at Empire City. That new building is on the opposite road of Ikea, Cycle and Carriage, Mutiara Damansara or easiest same row with MOFAZ Damansara.
myeg tower new office
Depending on which side of the road your driving from, I was from Penchala Link and waze direct me to other side of entrance. Easier for you to get waze direction since that driveway still messy with MRT under construction.
Back to my point, after MyEG staff settled putting the work permit sticker on passport, I was informed that ‘government’ no longer issue ikad to maid.
But to get clearer picture on why? I also dont know. There is nothing stated as well on immigration websites . I am still digging but no online results found … sigh..
I do a lot of new wiring for my properties. Usually I just hire electrician or civil contractors to do wiring without much thought whether the wires they used are suitable or not in term of ampacity (the maximum current the conductor can carry continously).
Until one day, one electrician told me the wires that I used for my fan and lamps are too thin to carry the current. It could pose fire risks. This is eyes opener.
Few days after I got the advise, one of new wiring was overloaded. The wires inside were burnt.
wires burnt due to overload – it is used for fridge and air fryer using 0.75mm wires
So I did my own studies as a guidelines to me, so when I hire an electrician I would know whether the wires and the way they connect to the electric power is able to support or no the possible current usage.
Guidelines on Wires Size
This is a guidelines only better check with your trusted or certified electrician.
If the same wire use for fan, lamps, fridge etc, you must add all the amperes and from the derive the required wire cross sectional area.
Of course usually, electrician will put extra buffer for the wire size.

Connection Type
This is my own definition not electrician definition. There are two types of connection:-
Use plug to existing plug point
Tap direct into existing wires in plug point.
Use Plug
The maximum current is 13 ampere as the fuse can only handle up to that ampere.
use plug of 13 amp
Direct Loop to Existing Plug Point
This is better at maximum if not mistaken it is loop directly to existing cable of 2.5mm2 or supported maximum current of around 22 ampere.
loop direct to plug point
What to Avoid For Wiring
Water Heater
For water heater, don’t use plug better use direct loop to existing wires. Especially water heater produces vapor that might cause short circuit and easily makes the wiring wear and tear faster.

What is Watt, Ampere & Volts?
Watt is power unit with formula as below:
Watt (W)= Amperage (A) x Voltage (V)
Analogy with water garden hose:-
Water come out from garden hose (watts) = Water volume (Amperage) x Water pressure (voltage)
What is Wire Cross Sectional Area?
It is actually the area size of the wire “circle”. In Math, the formula for area of a circle = pi*radius^2
For example, based on below diagram the cross sectional area calculation

cross sectional area=pi*(101.9/2)^2
=3.142*50.95^2
=3.142*2,595.9

Haahaa.. This year, 2019 is my Indonesian helper 10th years in service. Not like last year (2018) this time, it was way easier to do permit renewal because I didn’t need to send her for FOMEMA check-up. steps for maid permit renewal
Since she just got back from her hometown for two months break, her work permit validity only left about one month.
To make things easy for us before she went back for her hometown, I cleared all the processes. Below is how to renew maid permit for 2019:-
Prepare employment contract with Indonesian Embassy.
Renew her passport. (Because to renew her work permit with immigration, her passport validity must no less than 3 months of expiry from her 1 year renewal term of work permit).
We have been making few staycation trips at Genting Highland just to have feel of living and enjoying view up the hills.
Within month of August 2019, we make 2 trips. Each stay around 2 to 3 nights using AirBNB booking facilities for homestay. Only one of the homestays provides induction stove for cooking which we decided not to spent time on cooking but just eat out and explore food places.
I will share one good place, we hunt for food up here.
Choice #1: NOK SOKMO GENTING TOMYAM – Restoran Masakan Thai dan Masakan Kampung
Location: Genting Permai, in front of GEO38 Condominium.
Latitude Longitude: 3.386584, 101.774920
This restaurant serving delicious halal Thai cuisines which most of the night time all tables are taken. Make sure you come early for dinner (before 7.30pm) so your order come quick and no need to wait for vacant table.
We ate few times there just because of its satisfying flavours and at affordable price.
Ordered same dishes were never bored for me laa. Hehehe. So this was the food that we ate repeatedly.
Tomyam Ayam, Telur Dadar, Kailan Ikan Masin, Kangkung Belacan and Ayam Pad KrapowIkan siakap masak tiga rasa at Genting Permai
Price range for all of the above within RM91 – RM94, with 5 bowls of plain rice and ice water or maybe with additional 1 or 2 glasses of teh tarik and kopi O. Food deliciously cook and worth the price. Cheaper for that 5-6 lauk.
It is cheap and good food especially in Genting now the food price is expensive.
You may explore other foods which they also serve ‘masakan kampung’. tapi belum try lagi sebab yang atas tu sedap sangat. ;P

Popular nasi goreng ayam kunyit at Putrajaya Parcel C. It is sold at pasar tani Parcel C every Thursday.
I really like the chicken, the taste is delicious and crunchy. The seller puts soy ketchup and sambal chillis. The combination blend well when eating.
It is so popular, the queue is long but the good thing the nasi goreng ayam kunyit sellers are really efficient in preparing the food so you don’t have to wait very long.
