Beware of Scam

Beware of scam people! There are so many scams online nowadays. Once you post something up for sale, you will immediately receive a lot of replies from people everywhere in the world giving you all kinds of reasons of buying, and requiring you to send the way they want you to. The common part is, they will always offer a lot more money than the price you set claiming for the shipping. Facebook, Craigslist, ebay, etc. Scams are everywhere. Ignore those buyers from facebook that contacted you with no profile picture and asking you to contact them through another email addresses. There are a lot of the replied emails which looked almost the same in the content (they are automatically generated), and they are scams. The lady working at the post office just told me today that Nigeria has the most scams. They don't even want to ship the item for you if you tell them that you are shipping this thing to Nigeria for sale. Insane!!

I personally encountered this before. I was selling a book for a little over a hundred dollars, and there was this guy who wanted to buy from me .He wanted me to send the book to UK using his own shipping carrier, and he claimed that he is going to pay me extra to thank me for my effort. He told me that he is going to send over two thousand dollars for me to ship and required me to wire the extra money back to him using Western Union, minus the 'commission' I'll get for being nice. I was very doubtful in the beginning and I asked for the check first before I can ship. I told him I need to receive the check and deposit the check first before I can wire the extra money back to him as I don't have that much of money in my bank account. He sent me emails everyday telling me his carrier is waiting for my shipment and I NEED TO DO IT IMMEDIATELY! I do not care, and when I actually received the check, I brought it to the bank and told the bank manager about the whole situation. She chenked for me and found out that the router number is invalid. It's an INVALID check. The bank also advised me to make a report to the police (which I did not do to avoid troubles). I was so pissed and I replied the guy for the last email, fulled with cursings and words that I don't even know when and where I leart from.

Well, I haven't fall into any online traps so far of my online tradings, but I am really annoyed by all these scams. Online world is getting so ugly. Urgg...

Good things of today are, I finally received my camera, my VS purchase, and my twilight book 4. Also, I just leart backstroke today. I'm improving!!! *one cheer to life*

Life is good!!! :)...

Having Fun, Too Much Fun

I don't even have time to blog!!! :)...

I have to announce here: I caught a BIG fish!!! Finally!! It is big and fat, 18 inches long. *yay* I am taking a break from sunday fishing, but I will still have fish buffet later tonight with my fellow combats who are still fighting their best to catch sea monsters right now at the big creek. lol...(photos will be uploaded soon)

I was having so much fun at the Omaha Zoo yesterday. Henry Doorly Zoo is the best zoo in America, if not the largest. My favourite parts would be the tigers and the sharks. The white tiger is so cool. They have polar bear too, although it is smaller than my imaginative bear. I love going with Lou, Alicia, Darrin, Maru, Sonia, Bryant, and of course, my dear. They are just fun to hang out with. I love the picnic style lunch and dinner. It saves money, saves time, plus you get to talk a lot with friends and enjoy food that are prepared by each other. Awesome trip!!! I am going to miss these people so much later on...

Damn! I missed the Bare Escentuals 25% off on everything 3 days sales already.

Something worth mentioned, Sephora came out with its new boxed set. What is so cool about these sets of miniature beauty products is that, it gives us a chance to try out several different products without committing to a full size of something that may or may not work for us. For example, the Lash Stash Deluxe Sampler has 11 Sephora best-seller mini mascaras in it, which includes stila, lancome, bare escentuals, and more. So cool! And, these sets only cost $24-$40. GREAT VALUE!!!

Wednesday Dinner Gathering

I wasn't feeling well yesterday. Same old sickness-dizziness. Head spinning like anything. I thought I am going to throw out and will need to be sent to health center, luckily I was not. But I skipped my swimming session yesterday. I miss it so much!!! :(...

It is a darn hot day today. The heat and the stuffy air remind me of Malaysia. I don't think I can live well with it. I don't even want to think about it now.

I went to the gym. I was already sweating even before doing anything, but it feels good. I was cycling while reading Eclipse(Yes, I read real slow so as to wait for the next book to arrive). The story is so dragging which annoyed me a little bit. I started to hate Bella, who can love and kiss Jacod and at the same time wants to marry Edward to have sex with him. Whatever...!!! Anyway, I also played volleyball with myself. *poor me*

Our Indian dinner night was really good. I was very happy to see all my friends again. I haven't seen them a lot since I graduated. Meeting them brought back the memories of working at the foodcourt and cafe. I think I am going to miss that time a lot. *sob*

Now, I got a job interview offered by a tax company at Petaling Jaya. I hope the job vacancy is still there by the time I go home. I swear I'll take anything I can get. But, does anyone knows a better job seeking website for Malaysia or Singapore, other than jobstreet? A job-hunting website with better-quality companies...hmmp...

Another Monday

I said that I am going to stay fair till I go home, I failed. Fishing took my word, putting me in a sun-phobia condition now. My past weekend was nothing but fishing. The zero fish result on saturday had motivated me to the fullest, and here we go, 7.30am at the Ada Hayden Lake, with no time for breakfast but a banana. With the help of the grossed live bait, I got two fishes very quickly. TWO!!! Two small baby fishes, which are not allowed to bring home but to let them back to their world. None of us get any big fish there. Out of disappointment, we decided to leave the place and went for quick lunch, before switching to another BIGGER lake with MORE BIGGER fishes. And we went, at noon, fishing for 3++ hours under the scorching sun. I am so regret right now. Although I was all wrapped with umbrella from time to time, I just can't be spared from getting brown. Anyway, good news is, two of our heroes caught 8 big fishes. I got another 2, again, small fishes! @^$%&^@#_(*@. We did have our fish buffet at night. Three steamed and the rest were cooked asam. They were so delicious. Lakers won the championship, as many expected; Kobe Bryant was awarded MVP, nothing surprising!

The whole weekend of fishing and eating out made me feel unhealthy. I have had stomachache throughout the two days. I am feeling better now after swimming.

I cleared part of my before-home shopping lists during the weekend. Too bad a short from Hollister is not available anymore. I knew this would happen, I knew it!! I shouldn't have hesitating for so long.

Now, I need new skincare and make up products. I think it's time to have a total makeover for my cosmetics. I seriously think I should get better products this time instead of the common drugstore brands. The coming endless interviews and working life would require more make up, and appearance does count in Malaysia I would say (I love Americans, they don't say "you're ugly!" or "you're fat!"). I am still researching on these products, and at the meantime, Clinique, PurMinerals, and Bobbi Brown are on top of the list. Bobbi Brown does have very nice make up products I must say, but they are really expensive. I will need more time to compare in order to make costs < benefits decision. :)...Well, hopefully I have the luck to buy them at Seattle Premium Outlet though.

This week is going to pass fast! Wednesday Indian-themed dinner at friend's house, Saturday one day outing at Omaha Zoo, and Sunday fishing day. In between I'll be excitedly looking forward to the arrival of all my online purchases. *yay*

Resume and Fishing

Saturday, I spent some time with myself today. I was talking to friends in Malaysia, happily announcing my date home. Only did I realized that a lot of my friends who had graduated almost the same time as me will start their working life soon, very soon, everywhere in Malaysia and Singapore. I can't waste time anymore, I don't want to waste time anymore. I should have enough break by then. If I were to still lead my honeymoon life after I go home, that would probably be just an excuse for me to escape from working. I always remind myself that this trip home is not for fun anymore.

Anyway, I did quite some job applications on Jobstreet for KL and Singapore. The application style is so different!!! In Malaysia, employers want you to voice out your expected salary, which in US is a BIG NO, until you secure the job. Then, most companies in Malaysia ask for a photo along with your resume, and in US, this will constitute a kind of discrimination. Not only photo, US companies cannot even ask for gender, race, or marital status questions in conducting interview. Another thing would be the length of your resume. My friend told me that her resume is 2 pages long and 3 pages with photo included. I was always told by my career coordinator to keep my resume in one page no matter how. Wondering why America always wants to be different from the rest of the world in everything.

Finally I went to BestBuy to try out camera and MacBook Pro. I love them!!! I am going to get them...both. *cool*

First fishing session happened today. It was sunny and hot. I had my SPF50 on. I am still very worried about getting tanned. I don't want to be tanned this summer, not this time. I don't want to go home causing neighbors telling my mom that I looked like I just lived at Africa for sometime, dark and thin (which happened last summer). I will try my very best to stay indoor till I get on the plane. But fishing, I guess I need to wear all long next time. I love my new hobby. Fishing is fun. Fishes in America are probably mostly deaf, because we talked and we shouted (maybe just me) and those dummies never go away. Result, I got zero fish today!!! Zero fish!!! Oh my!!! We were annoyed as the fake bait we used only lured the fishes to play with our bait. They never got hooked up. We went to Wal-Mart again and got the live bait. Tomorrow will be a better day. I am going fishing again tomorrow at 7am to find my big fat fishy. I promise to have fish buffet tomorrow evening while watching NBA finals!! We shall see...

Till then,

~xoxo~

Happy Friday

1. Slept pretty well last night, just one nightmare, I'll take it. :)...

2. Sold most of the big stuffs at home already, within two days, now...car. CAR FOR SALE people!!!

3. Swam like a fish today, well, maybe a slower fish...

4. Currently at the last chapter of Eclipse, damn Bella is so greedy. She wants both Edward Cullen and Jacod Black. How could she not be satisfied to have that Edward? The Edward who is very attractive, rich, powerful, protective, loving, and immortal. Insane!

5. Raining and raining and more raining...

6. Bought fishing license and fishing pole already. Yes, fishing in US needs license!! Cost me $17.50. hemp...I wish I could get few salmons, that would worth the license money. Still, I am VERY excited for fishing this weekend.

7. 4-on-4 volleyball, tiring, 2-1, we won!!! Never eat McChicken half an hour before sport. It makes me sick!!!

8. Can't wait to go to Best Buy tomorrow to check out the Sony Cybershot W220 and MacBook Pro that I am going to buy.

9. Probably the last NBA game for this season on this coming Sunday. MUST WATCH!!!!!

Victoria Secret

Another same sleepless night...

VIctoria Secret, as usual, is having its summer sales right now.

One bra that caught my attention: 100-way bra.

In my opinion, this bra is essential to every lady. It has so many ways of wearing and the best things are, it has a subtle lift for better shape and underwire cups for support. It also comes in three easy-to-match colors, nude, white, and black. Bare back dress is no longer a problem. Comparing to using adhesive tapes, this bra definitely yields better result and is more securing in any way.

I talked to some boutique shop assistants and also VS employees, VS is the only brand that has low back strapless bra. Since VS is discounting this bra from $50 to $37.50 right now, it is definitely a good grab.

To purchase, http://www.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=CP-211598&page=1&cgname=OSBRPCNTZZZ.

Notice: It says sales end tomorrow. (I am a little doubt about it though)
