Yikes, termites?! How did you discover them?

Say, which termite treatment company did you use?

Sentricon?

Just received my "Life (Narrated by David Attenborough)"

Just about to write email to Amazon UK cause today is the day of estimated deliver date. Fortunately, I wait.

After I send a request for $15 special discount regarding my undeliverable order, here is Amazon replied:

This is the reason I like to order from Amazon. Nice to do business with Amazon.

On the other hand, Yesasia is really not too good when dealing with their own mistake. Last time, when I ordered 3 BDs from them which entitled me to Chinese Movie Buy 3 Free 1 promotion. However, when I finaly received my parcel, there are only 3 BDs that I ordered and my free gift (1 free BD) missing. I wrote a letter few days back and here is their replied:

Dear Valued Customer,

Thank you for purchasing at YesAsia.com.

Referring to your order xxxxxxx , we are sorry that the free DVD is missing. When you place a new order, please leave us a message as "please add the free DVD of order xxxxxxx" in the customer comment column before you submit the order and further arrangement will be done.

Please do not reply directly to this email. Should you have any further enquiries or comment, please refer to http://

That mean if I want to claim back my 1 unit of free BD, I still need to purchase additional BD from them.

out of topic...anyone know quality of Ronald Jack Screen?

sure la.. you think they want to spend extra on postage meh..

just small percentage having shipment problem...
as long we have elite kianwee who always use priority shipping.. we are safe

My next order from them, if any, probably I will use express service which I believe their will incur more on shipping cost. I will probably order 1 BD only but their need to pay express service charge for 2 BDs.

normally for international courier, they charge in steps of 500gms.. so 1BD or 2BD have same costs as they in the same weight bracket.. but, the seller may or may not charge extra for prepaid courier, if you buy more than 1 even if same weight bracket.. (cari makan mah..)

To clarified my previous info (in The Official Blu-ray Thread V.4) regarding Life [Blu-ray].



Previously, I read some reviewers' comments in Amazon UK, their claimed that Life is actually 1080i instead of 1080p as claimed by BBC.

However, based on info at the back cover of Life, their have stated some short elements of the programme are interlaced (i.e., the credit rollers). Their also mentioned that due to the nature of filming in remote habitats some image are not full HD.

Hope not.....I baru nak berjinak jinak dengan online purchase ...

just finish watched district 9.

well, not impress as what i thought.
1st, the early 30mins suppose to be cam-like but it doesnt feel like cam shot. more like dvd resolution no more cam feel like i watched in cinema.

AQ not really impress at all. bass not very good as T4 or ROTF. anyway, there is few scene got nice bass, when the small spaceship take off and when wikus on the robot running, can feel the step of the robot. the nicer part AQ in this movie is when the robot zap the human, the splashing sound damn nice...feel water splashing in front of u


ops, forgot to add in inglorious basterds i watch this afternoon... boring movie, almost fall asleep. maybe not my type of movie. AQ only good when in shooting scenes. the rest quite normal.

Oh no!!! I also order these two movie but still not yet arrived.

About "Life", I just finished watching part 1 of disc 1. The PQ, I think, same as Planet Earth. Except Life is more focus on life of animals and plants. For presentation, this new series of documentary have included short film talking the problems their faced when filming those documentary and how their overcame the difficulty, this is the part that Planet Earth didn't included (at least for US version of Planet Earth). Life also include high definition collaboration tools for you to tune your TV setting and stereo or surround sound setting.

dont worry about district 9, worth to watch but dont put high hope on it...
maybe my lauyah setup so cant get good impression on it..
wait other elite to comment when they watch it

lauyah setup still better than me. I don't even have any AVR and speaker, subwoofer, etc except speaker come with TV.

time to buy AVR, speaker, subwoofer...
go slow on BD

For mine, there's creaking faint sound from the door frame. Then, I go and press on it. To my shock, it 'collapsed' inwards revealing termites. Damn... That's 4 yrs ago.

Called pest control. Drilled more than 100 holes and pumped liquid in. Did not stay at home for a night due to the toxic odour. Even lizards and cockroaches were 'suffocated'. Found a lot of dead lizards after that.

Now, periodic check on termites.


maskedchan, D9 only moderate rating for you? Uh oh, mine coming next week. Nvm, after watched, sell it off

yeah, i few moderate only, maybe you have different opinion after you watch...
expecting when the robot zapping the human have good bass, but not really boom boom pow
still, you will be amaze by splashing sound after zapping the human...that the best part in the movie..
oh ya, need to crank up the volume to get decent bass

same here... after found out that my order of 1 unit rokben drum didnt arrive at my us add, i email them. next day they reply n shipped a replacement with a note that to inform them if the previous order turn up do report back to them. but i replied that the order tracking stated arrived a month ago.. so high possibility it would not show up.
