I just bought a new ceiling fan, and I'd like to install it myself to save money because I'm on a very tight budget.

The new fan requires three house-supply connections: brown (L/live), blue (N/neutral), and green/yellow (E/earth).

However, my old DEKA R5 fan is connected to five house wires: one red wire, two black wires, and two green wires. The old fan itself has three wires coming out of its base: one red, one black, and one green/yellow. The connections are currently arranged like this:

• Old fan red → one house red wire
• Old fan black → two house black wires joined together
• Old fan green/yellow → two house green wires joined together

Should I connect the new fan in the same way as the old one, even though the wire colours are different? I understand that I should follow the electrical functions—live (L), neutral (N), and earth (E)—but I'm not sure whether the red house wire is live. Does the fact that there's only one red wire, while there are two black wires and two green wires, tell me anything about which wire is live?

I'd really appreciate some advice. I'm on a very tight budget and want to make sure I do this safely

Any good ones ?

just curious if anyones ever stayed outside the venue to meet the artist post show

cause every month RM80 which 10% is RM8X12=RM96 so yeah..... SMART SELANGOR CAN GRAB PAY though can't find options for SPAY....

I applied for GETS-WRP back in August this year. I didn't receive anything about the 14 days review for weeks so I thought I didn't get it. Then, I got a good part-time job.

So, here's the thing: I got an e-mail this week that said my application was accepted and they wanted me to do an online assessment. I scored well on the said online assessment. I was curious on the questions and I had friends who wanted GETS-WRP so I did it to pretty much see what the assessment would be about.

My questions now would be:

1. How long after the online assessment should I expect to hear back from them?

2. Since they just announced Cohort 6 would start this October, does that mean I'm part of that cohort or the next cohort?

3. The part-time job has a contract period that would last until early next year. It's not stopping me from looking for other stuff to do for when I'm not on the clock, but GETS-WRP did mention applicants should not be employed at the time of application. Has anyone been in a similar situation? I like the part-time job but the GETS-WRP is a good opportunity for me if I do get it. I've discussed with my supervisor as well about this, and she was fine with letting me go.

4. I'm at the last leg of my studies, so all I'm doing is waiting for thesis endorsement. There's literally nothing going on but I'm still a bit concerned about the part where it says you need to be free from educational responsibilities (iirc). Though, I do have a friend who got GETS-WRP while still being an active student back then (no longer a student now though). Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Should these be mentioned in the interview?

Just move in Condo, but walaoweh, neighbours keep slamming and rattling their entrance metal grill door to the point we are anxious if someone's trying to break in our unit (since the sound is loud and nonstop)!

The sound was manageable if once in a while, but some of the houses was rented to multiple people so the sound is coming nonstop especially peak hour (early morning / late evening) left right even lower & upper floor sounds.

Even when we are hanging at the living room area inside our unit, can notice the sound leaks in from the main door.

Is there any quick fix for us? I am thinking the following

1. Buy one of those seal strip & bottom seal from Shoppe

2. Hang a shaggy thick carpet directly to our metal grill to absorb outside sound

Please share if the above methods won't work in yall experience..

Haze is getting worst people.

Had two air filter and purifier at home, luckily it works well. First time seeing both filtering with more effort (light colour changes). Didn't manage to take a photo of them.

In case you're looking for some good ones, these are the two I'm personally using (suitable for pet owners too),

hello! i am looking for budget friendly tws at tiktok shop for around rm30 with a good mic for calling and good sound quality... anyone got any recommendation? i heard goojodoq earbuds are good but the mic arent .

i use baseus but i dont like in ear earbuds. the ones with foam tip.

Still waiting PDD. Let's hope it'll reach us before GTA 6 is released.

Let's celebrate when we receive our items. Which package are you most anticipating?

I have a 4-year-old boy, and looking back, I've definitely bought things that seemed absolutely necessary at the time, only to realize later that we barely used them. Some of the expensive stuff seemed urgent because everyone recommended it, while other things I thought were unnecessary ended up being genuinely useful.

For parents with little ones, what products do you think are actually worth spending money on? And what are some things you wish you'd skipped or bought a cheaper version of?

I'm talking about anything from everyday essentials to sleep, feeding, toys, travel gear, or things that make parenting a little easier. Doesn't necessarily have to be expensive, just something that genuinely makes a difference.

Curious to hear what you've found worth the money after actually using it, rather than just what gets recommended on every baby essentials list!

Hallo

As the title says, I'm a composer and I'm keen on finding game scoring/composing projects! Been working full time in media/audio engineering for almost 6 years but always wanted to dip my toes into videogame work. Being a bit clueless about the local scene though, I thought I'd just post around first.

Some thoughts/expectations I have:
I'm working full-time and that'll still be my main priority, so if possible, understanding the need for some flexibility would be appreciated. However, I'm hungry for passion projects and people with a creative vision for storytelling or purpose in their game, and I'm the type of person who'd match that with my effort and passion too.

I'm open to low budget or casual projects too, or, hey, if you're an established dev, come take a gamble on me lols

I can't post links to my work publically as all relevant examples are p&c, but more than happy to start a chat!

Lemme know if I need to elaborate on anything else

Having spent over a decade working in Malaysian fund research and analytics, I've often wondered why it's so difficult for ordinary investors to get a clear picture of the unit trust funds they're putting their money into. There's no shortage of data, reports and performance figures in the industry, but much of it isn't particularly accessible to the average person. Many investors rely on their agents to explain their funds, yet may not know how their investments compare with similar funds, how much they're paying in fees, or whether their returns have been reasonable. It seems odd that people can commit years of savings to unit trust funds without having a straightforward way to assess them for themselves.

I've been thinking about this for a long time. You shouldn't need to be an investment expert to understand what you own and ask whether it's doing well. Ordinary Malaysians should be able to understand their unit trust and investment-linked funds, assess their performance and compare them with similar funds without having to work through complicated research or depend entirely on someone else to explain things. Of course, having better information doesn't guarantee better investment decisions, but it gives people a better starting point. I'm curious how other Malaysians here approach their unit trust and investment-linked fund investments.

Do you research your funds independently, or do you mostly rely on your agents or advisers?

Hello people, for those who have been running air purifier for 24/7, how's your electric bill look like, before and after? Noticeable or not.

If possible do share your purifier brand and how long you have it on.

Terima kasih

Sundadanio margarition, the neon blue rasbora.
It is a tiny (2 cm) dwarf fish only found in southern Sarawak and nowhere else. Endemic.

It lives in blackwater streams, forest peat swamps, and shallow pools with highly acidic water full of tannins. pH 4.0-6.0.

They feed on minute invertebrates, micro-crustaceans and zooplankton in the leaf litter. They school in large groups of at least 15.

Despite its names, it is not related to rasboras nor danios and is in its own family. This family is able to produce croaking or clicking sounds when interacting or stressed.

Kerangas forests, also known as Sundaland heath forests, is a type of acidic nutrient-poor forest found on Borneo and the Bangka-Belitung islands.

“Kerangas” itself came from Iban language, meaning “land which cannot grow rice.” An apt name.

Realme TechLife Handheld Vacuum Cleaner (Model: RMT2014)

Charger died. Don’t want to throw because need to avoid big expenses. Also would like to be sustainable a bit, the haze is reminding me.

Anyone know how I can get one? I was thinking of old-timey electrical shop with electrician who take different parts and make a new one, but I cannot find in PJ/Subang area or I didn’t look properly. Online also cannot find the charger or electrician type.

Plzzzz HALPPPPPP

TIA!

I panicked, thought the house is on fire. Turned on all the lights, can’t see the fire. No fire on neighbours house either.

Only later I remembered we are on fire, just across the sea. Damn. I’m over this haze.

People who work in HR in KL, do you guys ever check on the OKU status of each applicant?

I'm thinking of getting an OKU card for my ADHD, but I'm just worried if this will affect my chances of getting a job in the future

Where can I find decent replicas at a good price of football like Barcelona etc. I saw few good ones in the China market of Kuala Lumpur but they asked a lot of money considering I'm a tourist. I'm in Langkawi now.

These guys are so annoying

Somebody please teach me how to rid of them

I've tried ant bait but it doesn't work.

Any bright ideas? Thank you.

If you say it's cruel, then you're wrong.

It's OUR property and we have the rights.

Is it morally wrong? If you think about it, dangerous things that are harming us can be killed (i.e: Snakes, Scorpions, etc) so long as they're a threat to us

If you find me trying to rid of these ants are wrong, you can simply not engage with this post.
