SHOPPERS BEWARE OF THIS BOGUS SITE

Just to share my unpleasant experience recently. I am a great fan of reebok, les mills products. As I could not find  some of the item local, I tried to look them out on the net. I have bought quite a few items from https://www.zalora.com.my/men/clothing/ so it never occur to me there are conman and cheaters out there. I saw three items  and payment went through and then the long wait. When I they  finally arrive and I got a shock of my life . Instead of getting what I ordered, it was some cheap made in china stuff. When I contacted the buyer, he got the cheek so says the staff made a mistake and my items was wrong went to another buyer and his item was sent to me instead.   I did some check on the net and  sure enough there were others who got cheated as well and all share similar stories. I was a costly mistake for me so I hope others will not suffer the same fate as me. The buyer email is jordan@gaudinessmall.com. There are other emails used but all with the same dormain. ie gaudinessmall.com. the webpage is  
 http://www.asanadealers.com/
so beware. Anyone knows where can I lodge a report to reebok? 

IF DREAM COMES TRUE...

It was just  like a scene from a movie. Even though it was a short dream, but I remember the details.
my princess just woke up and she ask for her daddy..I was so happy. then I woke up. oh it was just a dream. If only it was not just a dream..Was it an omen?
But then again ,  dream do come true, this is what I want.. Who knows?

SAYING GOODBYE TO ANOTHER YEAR

Another two days before we welcome the new year.

Two more climbing events over the week end.  Over all this has not been a bad year , though

there were some not so good moments.But I am grateful nevertheless.  What am I looking

forward next year?

1) maybe a course on rock climbing?

2) Hike more? (somewhere further from my town?

3) No more looking back, but moving forward.

4) More saving perhaps.

5) One hike in Kuching.

Just  have a closer listen to this song and found it quite pleasant. Nice lyrics.Body combat 65 tract 8.

That's right, that's right! [4x]

There you go
Trying to find the words to say
Words only get in the way
Why can't we go back to where we started, where we started?

Oh God I feel so helpless
I don't know where we went wrong
I don't wanna cry
And everything is a mess
Tell me, how can we go on?
When nothing is right

Every time I say enough
I tell myself I'm not in love
My heart beats, my heart bleeds over you
Never ever felt so low
I don't wanna let you go
My heart beats, my heart bleeds over you
[2x]

That's right, that's right! [2x]

There you go
Trying to find the words to say
Words only get in the way
Why can't we go back to where we started, where we started?

Oh God I feel so helpless
I don't know where we went wrong
I don't wanna cry
And everything is a mess
Tell me, how can we go on?
When nothing is right

Every time I say enough
I tell myself I'm not in love
My heart beats, my heart bleeds over you
Never ever felt so low
I don't wanna let you go
My heart beats, my heart bleeds over you
[2x]

That's right, that's right! [4x]

TRYING OUT SOME PHOTO EDITORS

I was using a simple photo editor Picassa 3, with simple text water mark,before my laptop freezed.

After it was refomated, I lost all my programs including the picassa. Since google have phrased out picassa, I had to look for an alternative photo editor. I am not into serious editing, just a simple basic editor  is all I need, since it is just for Facebook posts and other social media. Tried a few, some not suitable for Mac.Finally I can say I am quite sastified with photoscape X.  User friendly and best of all it is free

I can use both image and text watermark  for my photos. I can even batch water mark, but sadly only for portraits images and not landscape.(which I have to do manually) I am still thinking if I should upgrade to their pro version.

Here are some of the photos I have edit it with.

At the same time I did test a few watermark software for my Iphone. I finally settle for watermark pro as it can do both text and image watermark.  The paid version was less than RM10.00, but other than removing their company's water mark on the photo you watermarked, there is not much difference from the free version. If you don't mind their watermark on your photo, just stick with the free version.

YEAR END REFLECTION

It's already the second week of december, and pretty soon , it will be christmas, and then we will move into  a new year.
It's time to reflect what has happen throught out the year.There has been good times as well as bad time. However the last couple of months has been quite tough money wise. I seems to be spending more money due to my carelessness.  First it was my laptop due to my eagerness to update the software, I end up spending money to get it repair/working again. (read my post here)  Then last week, I went cheras, just because I wanted to support one of the instructor I drove all the way there , got stucked in the traffice for two hours and on the way back, it was raining heavily and I did not see the pothole and then heard a loud bang and my wheel got into a deep hole. After driving a while I knew something was not right as I would feel as if I was driving on a flat tire and I could hear the sound that indicate so. Upon reaching home I did a check and it seems ok so I left it at that.It was late when I reached home anyway and that was nothing much I could do . The next morning my fear was confirmed, the tire was flat,so I drove to the petro station to fill in the air on my tire so that I could drive to work and later to get it check at the tire shop nearby my office. It was discovered the side of the tires was badly cut by the stones (in the pot hole) and had to be replaced,which means both tires. While they took out my tires it was also discovered there was a leak from some pump near the wheel area. Oh boy another cost involved. If only I did not make the trip.I would not have felt so bad if those tires were old, but they were just changed only a couple of months ago.
Oh well, I guess I have to learn from my silly mistakes and hopefully next year onwards I need to be more careful where I want to travel. No more to please people, I need to be practical and choose my destination carefully. I think, shah alam, subang and even puchong should be ok, but Kuala lumpur should not be on my list.
I have also come to term that certain relationship will not heal and it is pointless to dwell in the past. It's time to move on.  On the bright side, I did make some good friends this year and that is something positive.

MY SILLY AND COSTLY MISTAKE

I am one who will always update my software, be it my phone or laptop. Just a few weeks ago I saw this update notice on my mac. As usual I will click update without even thinking.In the past I had no problem and they usually get updated to the latest version. Unfortunately this time I was not that lucky. It hang halfway due to the internet connection .It just freeze and I tried countless of time ,but could not get it to work.I even tried as a last resort to use the cd that came with the mac when I made the purchase. It was a no go, so I took it to a Mac shop , near where I stayed, but unfortunately they said they only sell the machine and do not do any service. So in desperation I search on the net and manage to find a shop at Center point, Petaling Jaya. I spoke to the guy who picked up and phone and told him my problem and requested for a quote to reinstall the system and could get it up within an hour. He was able to answer me over the phone right away and that gave me the confidence to sent my laptop to the shop.  I drove reached the shop within half an hour and found the shop with no problem. Upon checking he informed me my battery has swelled up and it will cost me another huge sum of money. I had no choice but to agreed to have it replaced. All because I did something stupid to update my machine. Anyway on the hindsight, if I had not sent my mac to the shop I would not know my battery need to be replaced,which according to him could damage my laptop.
With all my files and some softwares I had on the machine wiped out, I had to start anew and reinstall , and have to test them out one by one. But I have fund experimenting especially with the watermark applications.
