7 Sins- control or be manipulated

Sometimes I told myself, is the moment I waiting for or it was just too good to be true. Last week, got two person who added me in WLM (Windows live messenger) to talk on buying my virtual items in one of the popular game.

They offer for USD1000, well that’s mean a lot for me. Then I counter offer USD1200 and they accept my offer. Ok, that’s the deal but when comes to give and take. The anonymous guy tries to convince, all effort to persuade to do give first. Well when it comes to money, I know by nature greed will lead the way. Anyway this is mental situation, if you are weak and let it absorb what the anonymous try to tell you to do.. it is as you are completely blackout/manipulated. I know my business principle, money clear first then only proceed. If no money.. that’s the end of our conversation.. all talks are just a words that full of lies. If you are serious buyer, you should take the risk and respect my principle or leave it. I don’t think anything personal.. if the person try to say his personal experience or anything that unrelated rather than just shut up and start paying.. he just wasting his and my time. Therefore, there’s no reason for me to proceed to trade with such person. I don’t care if he giving his handphone no, home address or what so ever, because this is old trick to gain fake trust.

He can be a smart scammer but he forgets one thing about me, I’m once a scammer and that won’t make me fall into my own old trap. Too bad for him, he wasting his time to think of something new to lure me to give up my possession to him while he forget who am I. So I just wanna share this to all of you that never ever let greed control over you.. because it will blind you.

I remember that people like to use 7 sins to control us. It is also a weak point of human being. But if you notice it early, you will be a stronger person in term of mental and physical.

1. Pride
2. Envy
3. Gluttony
4. Lust
5. Anger
6. Greed
7. Sloth

These 7 sins are very important as people tend to take advantage on us based on that.

Prime and Telephoto Lens

This battery is rechargeable for over 1000x cycle. Believe to be low discharge battery when unused for several months. Just remember the name "eneloop"

Got it today. The Prime lens 50mm F/1.8 II, Good for candid shot and potrait since it is fast lens at it length. High apenture as f/1.8 will create a beautiful bokeh(blur) background when shot at distance.

My Prime lens and my telephoto lens. Can't wait for my upcoming parcel to make both lens looks more even longer..nah actually it is lens hood attach on top of it to prevent glare to the photo.

Wassup guys, this morning I got morning call around 8.50am that my 2nd lens arrived :D, the most popular lens for a beginner and also budgeted lens for portrait and act as fast lens to freeze moving object… quite happy to own this fast lens even though the built quality is plastic.. I won’t mind as long the 3 years warranty will cover it :D hahaha.

Haiz, I’m very disappointed with the canon 550D stock availability. I had call 5 shops in west Malaysia and emails more than 3 shops… all same reply no stock until next week.. one of the shop reply me that the next batch are all fully book… walao make me sad and happy, sad coz have less chance to get it and happy cause the camera I aim is indeed hot sales and popular as in demand in the market.

Anyway I still got 2 boxes that are MIA as there’s no latest update whereabouts since 12 May, so I go check with pos laju center and they told me it still in KL… wth.. order since Tuesday and till today still in KL… this is the downside of using post registered instead of pos laju courier service.. but as long I haven’t get the camera, I don’t mind to wait for a while. Since my seller give me big discount and FOC for the shipping.. I should be glad to save around RM100+ for a bulky parcel (contained tripod 60cm, DSLR bag,flashgun…filters). Man..I so often going to Pos laju office (like twice a week) until I don't need my IC or watever to take the parcel..unlike last time I need to show them my I.C

Ok there's all for today.. now I goin concentrate my revision for monday exam :)

Enjoy Cafe @ Sibu




The atmosphere inside the restaurant is quite warm. From the view of it, its really a good place to hang out.







The food here is average.. can't get the delicious taste out of it.. Even if I want to visit this place again.. the only reason is the atmosphere.

Receiving week

Today I want to talk about one online seller I never ever experience before and I had fed up with him for more than one day. I not a newbie because I had done more than 40 transactions with strangers, anonymous online user and involved around RM13,000++ biggest amount involve is RM8500+ to buy a camera. All my trades are successful without a dispute because of my deep evaluation, survey, and research skill before I made a deal. It is very important to control your EQ.. you know you don’t want to scold anyone because you are restless on that day or bad mood. We must assume we can’t understand each other situation and we try to keep the situation peacefully.

It was actually happen like this: (note: this is not a rant but my point of view about it)

Monday April 12th: I request for information about the camera model, price, shipping method and services as well as what’s bundle with it if I purchase it. He reply me the answer I waiting for. He also sends me the bank account number to proceed to next step, which is payment. Due to limitation of online transaction RM5000 per day. My friend (the one who buying it) decided to bank in to him with his brother ATM card as well which will make complete payment on the same day. But unluckily his brother card already nearly daily transfer limits which lead the payment to delay till the next day.

Tuesday April 13th: My friend and his brother complete the payment stage and waiting for his reply. The seller replied us there’s no stock for it already (canon 7D Kit 2). He also did reply me to other packages are available which is canon 7D body and canon 7D kit 1. My friends and I disappointed with this because the money is already with him (around 6600+) and he ask us to wait till next week yet he can’t answer us which date he can restock because he get from his supplier as well. My friend was tension and fill with negative thinking about the seller to con his money and on that night, he got sick and not feeling well. My friend wants to get the camera as soon as possible. Due to his impatient and insecure about the money to be on hold till next week, he changed his mind and changes the order to canon 7D Kit1 (which is more expensive). He bank the remaining money on the same day (total around 8300+) and wait for his reply. Sadly, there’s no reply after 4.30PM

Wednesday April 14th: I feel frustrated about the MIA of the seller for more than 12 hours. Can’t they check email at night before sleep? C’mon this is online business; email is very important element of it. How can someone forget to check his email for a day or 12 hours! At 10a.m he replied me that he received the full amount already and he will update us later. So I wait………………… . OMGWTFBBQ!! Unfortunately he didn’t reply or update me about anything. Hey, I did call him for 3 times on different time, morning, afternoon and night.. he didn’t answer my call and didn’t even bother to call me back, I assume he know my phone number because I did email him about my personal contact details.

Thursday April 15th: I’m very sad to see my friend sickness getting serious and serious because he can’t sleep comfortably at night due to MIA of the seller for more than 24 hours as well as no answering our phone call and email. So I try to call him again and again for more than 8 times from 8am till 10am. He didn’t answer single call from me. So I told myself this is fine, I’m not a newbie in this and I can forward this case to upper authority. However we believe this seller and assume he did post the parcel yesterday already and we went to pos laju office to enquire about it and sadly there’s no parcel for us. At 10.30am, I getting serious about this and I give him a warning message. Finally, after a hour, he call up my phone and he said “who is this”… lol wtf .. he didn’t bother to record down my number which I gave him in his email.. What the…. And he didn’t bother to say anything about MIA in 24hr until I ask wtf you didn’t send out the parcel yesterday because full payment was done on Tuesday already. Then, only he told me he is busy with the PC Fair…. For all the time I wait… Can’t he explain to me earlier if he can’t made it for me in time.. dayum this is 21st century, even mobilephone can do email and sms already if outstation and he didn’t bother to update us because he is busy all the while. So I can assume KL life is very stressful and can make someone forgetful. I refresh my email for whole evening after 5.30pm to wait for his tracking number. Sadly, I have to call him around 9pm to double confirm he had sent out my parcel and he told me he can’t give me the tracking number until he reach home. Ok.. this is getting confusing.. because if I was him, which I did, last few weeks, when my buyer paid me, I post the parcel and I sms my buyer about the tracking number instantly. At the end of the day, I did get the tracking no. and I happy with it.

Friday April 16th: Let the pictures do the talking.







He is a reputable seller and I did bought Philip product from him before and he’s fast. Why? Because last time I transfer money to him at 2pm and at 3pm he gave me the tracking number. It’s just happening to be PC Fair that makes him busy all the time and I will definitely buy from him again.

Food heaven !!



Whats up guys, yesterday and today I got my food packages from West Malaysia, you might think I’m doing the wrong decision to order food from west to east Malaysia and bear the courier serve fee. No I’m not, I have no regret for every single cent I spend on it because it’s make me a damn delicious meal ever!!! My fried chicken taste better than mcdonald, marybrown and hart chicken and on par with KFC… oh my I think I can eat 2-3 kilos of chicken…


Another thing is cheese, it is exactly same taste as KFC potato wedges cheese and with spices.. My seller told me that he used to work inside KFC franchise and they use same brand cheese, its called “Jalapeno cheese” you can google search it. It is premix and you need to add water and keep stir it until all dilute. Then store inside refrigerator for a while to thicken it.. then you can prepare to use it anytime..
With this 2 awesome things I order, I don’t miss KFC anymore hahahaha. XD !!!!!




If you want to make potato wedges, you can google it. It is better to use fresh spud/potatoes rather ready-made wedges. Firstly, wash the potato n peel it then cut into wedges, on the other hand, beat the egg in a bowl and add 2-3 spoonful of milk and stir it. Secondly, prepare the coat, half cup of flour + 1 teaspoon of pepper, + 1 teaspoon of paprika, +1 teaspoon of salt, +1 teaspoon of MSG,+ 1 teaspoon of garlic,+1 teaspoon of oregano powder form and mix all together in 1 bowl. Then you can dip the wedges into mix egg then coat into dry mixed you made. Then deep fried it…

April Fool's Day, hmm...



Heya readers, today happen to be April Fool’s day and also Swinburne Night day for the students who participate it by purchasing the entry ticket for RM5. Sound cheap rite? and I put high expectation to the event :)



During lunch time at mannazone in swinburne, one of the casher told my friend that they will be preparing the catering for the Swinburne night and somehow I can expect the foods will be either too oily or too bland. I wish it was a joke but it’s true ….
Tonight the MC/host asked the attendees what the purpose of them here and numbers of people shout “free food”. Hell yeah, that’s the main reason I bought the ticket for… u ask me pay RM5 to listen crap? Hell no XD, Sadly, some of my friends left the event after eating the cheap food which are tasteless fried rice, super oily cabbage, overcook meat and no refill for refreshment!!! Yes we run out of water to drink.. That’s really a bad service.



Aside from the catering, the host himself like to turn left and right when on the stage and can’t bear to look at us.. either he didn’t prepare well for it OR he was force to be the MC for that nite XD




Anyway, the few good shows for that night are the wushu team, and rapping from the African students. The worst is the African 2 male dance… I really hold myself to watch it…..felt regret ..coz its just so wrong to watch them dance ._.
Btw, don’t tell lies during April Fool’s day because according to my friend, he just got rolled by his friend and he want to break the friendship for that because he took it too seriously on the April fool’s day. Consider it was not his mood to take that joke yeah XD

Bebas Dadah = Free Drugs Campaign

Hi there, this morning I have my usual class until my lecturer told us that the next hour we all going to have blood test run and survey. At first, I was like hmmm… that’s ok I will just walk away different direction. Unfortunately, when the person-in-charge enters the Lecture Hall, he was not alone; he came with 5 people to secure the exit door from students who try to escape.

Stage 1: Survey

Stage 2: Urine Test

Anyway, I can’t do anything but to follow the officer since they are so serious about it.. man… I can’t believe they even use the ‘security tape’ to make sure the students did not walk away from the building. I felt like been a criminal in a night club where people take ecstasy pill and then number of police officers raid the party and everyone have to take off their undergarment to do drug test.

Actually, it was not a bad day for me because I have ‘eat-all-u-can’ here since there is a lots of food supply. It’s a nice food such as egg sandwich, nasi lemak and soya drinks to compensate our time, effort, and honesty for their survey.


At the end of the test, you get a free manicure with special printed logo of Ministry of higher education on the casing.




p.s: the title is a joke after direct translation from google translate.
