Police was on a Saman Party @ Palm Springs

Was on the way home tonite an was using the road that passed thru Palm Springs Condo (Kota Damansara area), when I noticed a policeman on the road.



DSC01372

Initially I thought there was either an accident or a robbery at Palm Springs and the enforcement officers were here to investigate!

DSC01373

Then i noticed that there was FOUR policeman holding a pad of paper

and walking up and down the road infront of Palm Springs.

DSC02365

For those of you who don't know but the road all around Palm Springs

are always filled with parked cars by the road side. And it is illegal, as there

are yellow lines that are along those roads.

DSC01375

There were easily hundreds of cars parked outside the Palm Springs Condo

And it was like a Saman Party, where the Police Officers were walking from one car

to the next and issuing samans (Parking Fines) to all the cars that were illegally parked there.

DSC01371

If you loooook really close you will see a Policeman writing a Saman

in between the two cars!!

I hope the residents of Palm Springs would stop parking their cars on the roadside.

Strong Water Pressure - Good or Bad?

I would think that when the Water Pressure in your Condo is high, that is good news!! But i guess the Maintenance Dept of Opal Damansara must have seen some new costs in the high change of Bidet Spray Hoses, cos we just received a pretty interesting notice from the Opal Management.


There was a notice given by the Management to inform all residents to switch off the water after using the Bidet Spray hoses. :) This must be one of those unique problems with high water pressure! Perhaps the Mgmt have been replacing too many broken bidet spray hoses!! :)

Sony Flyover Fiasco Upsets Residents [news]

THE delay in completing the Lebuh Bandar Utama flyover that connects BU11 and BU12 to the central part of the township is making the Bandar Utama residents very unhappy.

The Sony flyover, as it is commonly referred to because of its location next to what was previously the Sony building, was supposed to have been completed last month.

According to a BU11 resident who declined to be named, construction work was not consistent, carried out only on certain days.

Bandar Utama Residents Association (BURA) chairman Tan Ban Loong said that the site management was badly handled.

“There are many potholes along the flyover that motorists have to avoid, causing traffic to be backed up. The place is in a mess,” Tan said.

During a meeting with Bukit Lanjan assemblyman Yong Dai Ying last month, the Bandar Utama residents voiced out their discontentment with the Petaling Jaya City Council (MBPJ) over the lack of scrutiny on the project.

According to MBPJ public relations director Haniza Abdul Hamid, the contractor Pembinaan Bukit Timah is scheduled to complete the flyover before the end of the year.

Clean Water at Opal Damansara

I am was informed by Nancy that the Opal Damansara management have installed a water filter at the main water inlet for the entire condominium complex!!!



I was very glad to hear that we now have clean water coming into our homes and into all areas of Opal Damansara.



So you can't wait to go check it out for yourself??





Filtered Water at Opal Damansara


DSC01349

Where is this Water Filter located?

The next time you drive down the ramp from the multi-storey car park

Turn your head to the right as soon as your car reaches the tar road.

You will see a silver gleaming large looking canister at the far right end of wall

DSC01348

If you were to walk closer to it.

You will see its located at the corner of the right wall at

the far end of this walkway.

(by the way lots of empty carton boxes stored in this area)

DSC01344

Its a BACFREE Water Filter, and its HUGE!

I guess it needs to be of a certain size in order to ensure all

our water is being kept clean at all times.

DSC01346

Was trying to look for a label to determine how many gallons or litre

the BACFREE filter holds ... but the only instrcutions was

for mere Operations of the Water Filter.

DSC01345 DSC01343

As you can see there are lots of taps and pipes leading

into the wall, so i guess this is where all the water are filtered and cleaned!

DSC01347

I am sure we are all thankful that we now have a Water Filter

to keep the water that we use clean and free from bacteria! (that's what BACFREE means rite?)

What's Happening Between Opal Damansara & Cita Damansara?

We've noticed some new construction work happening in the green/small river area between Opal Damansara and Cita Damansara Condo. Perhaps it was a response to our photos taken late October, but then again perhaps not.



DSC01341 DSC01339

We have noticed the presence of an excavator on the far left side of the area, closer to Cita Damansara, where the excavator have been doing some work, in clearing the grassy patch, and definitely doing something to the land there.

What are they doing?

We have not found out yet ....

Meanwhile check out what happens again when it Rains Heavily

Pictures taken on 10 November (last Sat)

DSC02100

You can see again that the little river that runs through, swells up to a rather larger river.

And unfortunately in the still picture above, you can't see, but the water is flowing rather fast.

DSC02102

One of the Water Inlet, we managed to zoom the picture.

Location is just below where the excavator is, and you can see from the white froth

where the water is gushing into this place.

DSC02103

Another two more water inlet. This time its closer to Opal Damansara.

Waters are entering from the drainage area from the street.

Pictures taken on 13 November (this afternoon)

DSC02172

There was a heavy rain this afternoon, and you can see the

river swelling up again!!

DSC02175

A Close Up view of the overgrown river

with water inlet filling more of the said river.

We hope to find out the answer from Sunway / Opal Management

on what are they doing there with the excavators. Once we have some information

we will share them with you.

What happens when there's a Heavy Downpour!!

DSC01768


Is this the Klang River?

Nope its actually a small stream which overflowed into a huge river during the thunderstorm / rain last Sunday!




DSC01765 DSC01767



Our concern is that the River that flows thru the backyard of Opal Damansara and Cita Damansara Condo, we hope that it will not cause any soil erosion for either of the condos!

We noticed at least more than 3 inlets where water was pouring in into this area!


DSC01766

On Opal Damansara side, we still had a green embankment which separated the Condo from the flooded river. But from the Cita Damansara side ... u can see the water reaching the cemented wall with only 10feet + gap!! Scarrry!!

Missing Sun Decks by the Pool Side

There was an email sent to the Sunway Management saying how nice the Wooden Boards looked at Opal Damansara.



DSC00622

In front of Block B, you will see a Wooden Signage that makes

Opal Damansara feels "resortish"! Very nice touch!!

DSC00558

Poor dude, check out the guy sunbathing on the Floor!

I think Sunway needs to get some Sun Decks soon! :)

DSC00621

Looks like a Railway Tracks?

Cool Blue Neon Lights!

DSC00620

Well if you have not noticed it in the evening,

this the Wooden Beams deco by the Poolside. Very nice feel to the

overall resort-ish look of Opal Damansara! :)

The Dustbins Are In!!

YAY ... finally glad to see some Dustbins located at the Lift Lobby of Opal Damansara! From the YahooGroup, I remember a resident requesting Sunway Mgmt to set it up.

Glad to see the Dustbins are up! :)

DSC01591

Its rather good looking too .. with the silver finishing ... classy!!!



BUT ... was a bit disappointed to see the Dustbins located on the Floors! It kinda reminded me of the DBKL Dustbins by the roadside.

DSC01588

Hopefully Opal Damansara has only put these up temporarily!! We'll see!!

At least you now have a place to throw your trash when visiting Opal Damansara. :)

Lift Lobby Enhancements

Was pretty glad to see the following done at the Lift Lobby area of Opal Damansara.

They have added the Push & Pull signs on the Glass Doors and they have also put some wood covering on the floor so as not to damage the Floor Area. Pretty Coool!!


IMG_2916 IMG_2920
The Glass Doors have Push & Pull Signs
IMG_2919
Even the Proximity Card Reader has a sign
that says Card Access :)
IMG_2918
Good on Sunway Mgmt to put a protective layer
at the Lift Lobby area to protect the original tiles.
IMG_2917
Just a Whole View Glance with the wooden flooring
and the signs on the Glass Doors.
IMG_2914
And oh yes. .. spotted this in Block A Lift.
Hmmm someone is advertising for Gas in the Lifts!! :)
