Internet Trading

I started internet trading just a few weeks ago; I started this trading with a bad experience. Internet trading is full of scams and fake stuff. Be a wise internet traders. Good luck.

And I learned a few lesson from all these trading.

• I learned that i need to know how to spot a fake item before I buy it, as sometimes the seller would not know whether their item is Fake. However, most of them would know, but they would just pretend that they don’t.
• Check the seller, even the seller has a good rating. The item may be bad.
• Do not buy impulsively. When I got my 1^st payment, I was overwhelmed and bought a few stuff at once. 2 out of 3 transactions turn out to be a massive disaster. Even I dealt with good ratings seller.
• Some seller would create a few accounts to bid on their stuff, to make it higher. If somehow their own alternative account won the bid, they will proceed with a method called 2^nd chance bidder, which is the 2^nd highest bidder (the real bidder) would win the bid. And the real bidder would have to fork out more money instead. (Be careful with 2^nd Chance Offer)

I poured some of my hard earned money down the drain for this lesson, Hopefully this post would help someone without any experience with the internet trading.Especially E-bay.

Unleash the seal

Until I am hit by something, I would not know how much people cares about me.

My family, friends and Fie, they are always there for me whenever i am down, sad and stress.

This post is to show my gratitude to them.

For the past 2 weeks, I have been put under a tremendous amount of pressure. Coursework, Badminton Competitions, Work, Dissertations. They all come together, time is the limiting resources. However, just a few hours ago,all these tremendous burden were off my shoulder.It happens so quickly, that I could feel a surge of pressure from myself. Fighting against my flesh pushing all these inner force out of my body.

This is probably a side effect of sealing my stress, sealing my emotions to myself, like a Crab, hiding himself in a hard shell.

It's hard for me to explain how I feel at the moment, hopefully this picture could explain it.

Imagine that the pressure in the atmosphere is less than the pressure inside the sealed bottle. This bottle would just go BURST.

Thanks to those who kept my cap open, so I could stay equilibrium with the atmosphere.

Road trip

A trip to Bolton for a graduate assessment scheme with Colas Ltd, this is a picture of the car that we rented for 2 days

Then with Eddie & Fie, We stayed in Eddie's place for a night, right after the graduate assessment scheme. He gave us a warm hearted welcome with his home-made Tiramisu.

Scrumptious 'Habanero' Burger from GBK ( Gourmet Burger Kitchen) in Liverpool

Highly recommended.

Bull ring, Birmingham.

Alicante, Spain

This is what Alicante is famous for.

The environment in Alicante is quite similar to Kota Kinabalu which is also a city with beautiful beaches. Except Alicante is abit more expensive compare to Kota Kinabalu.

A Big Mac here would easily cost €3-€4.

Haircut in Spain. €17.

OUCHHH!

Relaxing Seaview from Alicante's Castle.

Squid Ink Paellas. A typical Spanish food.

It cost €12 per person.

Worth to try.

Day at work

As i missed my flight to kk, I started to miss Kota Kinabalu so much already because I'm well aware that i will probably not going back for another year. It was a melancholy experience to say at least, but now i am trying to get over it by blogging the good stuff that i experience here.

I am learning Basic Accounting with my uncle.(To earn some pocket money in the same time. xD)

My day started with a hot shower at 8am in the morning for about half an hour.
After my comfy shower, i would make myself A slice of Toast(on Atkins' diet) with Peanut Butter and honey. And of course, a cup of white Yorkshire's Tea.

I start working at about 9 o'clock, and i will spend most of my time punching Calculators, Excel, checking up Bills, photocopying bills and those an interns would normally do in an office. When the clock strikes 2, lunch would gave me a call. we( me and 2 of my colleague) would pack all the documents away immediately, and start preparing our lunch in the kitchen. Sometimes they would just bring lunch box to work, But most of the time they would just make sandwiches in the kitchen. Normally, I would just do what the Romans do.

After half an hour break, we would get back to work quickly, and from here we would work till 6 O'clock afternoon(my colleague could sit there for hours without talking). I am very impressed with their ability to sit on one place punching the calculator for hours, without feeling tired.
They are definitely clever and hardworking. I know one of them studied a Degree in Imperial College, London.

Although this work has nothing to do with my field of study. But this work disciplines myself to work with someone else and to suppress my ego, before i actually dive into a real working society.

Many thanks to Uncle George & Aunt Sharon

To Jason

I am writing you this mail, is because you have missed your flight from Heathrow to Kota Kinabalu on the 11th of August 12:00. Due to your irresponsible actions, it's something that couldn't be reverted.

I am very disappointed with your act, Although you dad supported your actions for staying back in UK this summer, but the aftermaths of missing a flight is similar to the aftershock of an earthquakes to your Family & Friends. Waves after waves, they were utterly showered with disappointment

As a conclusion, I understand that going back to Malaysia with another ticket is not an options anymore. So my suggestion for you is that you utilize the remaining wonderful summer in a good manner. To sharpen your saw or whatever that you are doing
