For some, internet is the source for everything and it has become part of their life. But buying online is not always a wonderful experience. When buying from internet, the reputation of the seller is very important. You don’t want to buy from someone who you don’t have trust on. You don’t want to buy something which they claimed to be the best but turned out to be made at their backyard.

TrustSource.org is one place to find out about goods sold online. They reviews products of the same type from different brands and rank them accordingly.

TrustSource.org will evaluate products advertised in the market and compare their findings with what the advertiser claimed. Consumers of the products are given space to give their reviews and rank the product according to their experience on using it.

For example if you are looking for the best hemorrhoids treatments, there are many brands out there. And each of them claimed to be the best of the best. But how true is their claim? The only way to find out is to get reviews about the products from the users itself. You can get these reviews including the ranks of the products from TrustSource.org and hopefully you will be able to make your decision on which brand to buy after that.

(Friday, 2nd Nov) On my last day at EC-Council, Julie, another ‘free loader’ (the term used by the lecturer to refer a non-paying student), from one of the off-shore company joined my class. It brightens the class a little bit since it was a ‘one to one’ lecture for the past two days. At the end of the day, I was given a certificate and an exam voucher. The voucher is valid for one year… which only means the exam is hard, that’s why they allow me ‘refresh’ for a year… we will see that at the end of next year. As for the lecturer, he is leaving for Australia the next day to give the same training there.

My blog will be picture-less until I find a good free photo editor or buy the Watermark Factory.
But first, I have to make sure my Vista is stable enough. I’ve installed and used it on my notebook for the past 3 weeks. But you know lah Vista… everything is new. There are drivers and applications I’ve installed and uninstalled. Once I know which are working well with Vista, I will reformat my notebook again and reinstall only the correct drivers and applications… including ‘the’ photo editor.
If I decided to buy the Watermark Factory which will cost me around $49.00 or $56.29 with insurance, it will be my first personal ‘licensed’ software… mua ha ha ha…

When I was studying in the college few years ago, writing report assignments is the most hated process. It’s not only confined within my class but to every student in the college. We always stayed awake till morning just to complete the assignments. We don’t care about quality, we just want to complete and hand it over. Copying and modifying others assignments are normal. We as average students normally scored between 2 to 6 out of 10 points for the assignment.

But today, you don’t have to struggle to complete your assignments. You can have your custom essay or report prepared by others like from Custom Writing. They provide plagiarism free essay writing service. Their writers are professionals from the UK and US with 24/7 support. And you can have your essay within 12 hours… no more sleepless night! Go and enjoy your student life while you can…

One part of my office was still under renovation when I left it last week. The renovation has been going on for 3 or 4 weeks already. When I came in the office today, they have completed it except for minor touch up. The best part is, we have a pantry inside our office… no more rushing to the wash room a.k.a toilet to wash hand… and we going to install water filter so that we don’t have to buy or bring drinking water from home.

Our garage can fit 3 cars. Almost all the time our garage will be in a mess. Lubricant containers are sitting on the floor at every corner. Boxes of old spare parts are stacked at one corner. You can say that the garage is a hazard area and dirty too. But we visit it all the time, probably more than 3 times a day when we want to park in or drive out our car.

If we have something like the garage cabinets from Car Guy Garage, I’m sure our garage will be neater. And we might use it as a place to hang together or maybe for barbeque during the weekend. With the equipments from Car Guy Garage, I think I can turn our garage into our second ‘living room’ or ‘kitchen’.

I’m still exhausted by the 8 hours journey yesterday. While on the ERL yesterday, codered SMS me asking to go to Likas Driving Range in the morning, I replied OK but at the end I did not go since I was still exhausted. Around 11am, after his driving range, I joined him for ‘minum’.

I wanted to wash my car, but all 3 car wash I passed on my way back are full, so I just drive home without washing my car… I hope it will rain tomorrow so that I can get natural car wash… in fact it is raining right now, but my car is inside the garage…

Nadzree also called this morning inviting to his house for ‘lepak-lepak’… actually for Hari Raya open house. I went there around 3.00pm and went back around 6.00pm… haiyooo so long ‘lepaking’ there… On my way back, I stopped for 4D & Jack Pot… unfortunately, when I check the results just now, still no luck… itu lah no luck, who suggested and ‘tapau’ to buy the Ustaz’s van number?…

According to Channel 4 news, “One in four Britons will shun credit cards this Christmas as they focus on repaying their debts, a survey showed.”

Why is this happening? My guess is, bad spending habits. Some people will buy things the moment they see it. They won’t do price comparison by checking at other places. These are made even worse when they are spending with credit card because they will not feel the pinch immediately.

By doing price comparison before buying, it is a good way to prevent you from spending unnecessarily. It also saves you when others can offer you with a better price. There are many ways to do price comparison, offline or online. For online price comparison, you can do it at Save Buckets. Save Buckets will guide and help you by explaining what you need to look for before buying.

The best part is, when you found the product you really want, for instant mp3 players, but the price are not within your budget yet, you can ask Save Bucket to monitor for the products until its price becomes available within your budget. Save Bucket will alert you immediately through email once the price of the products is within your budget. It acts like your personal price alerting service.

Save Bucket is not only about comparing prices, but it is also a buying guide. There, you can find all kinds of buying guides. Their guides will detailed you everything about the products you want so that you will not make any mistake when buying.

It was a time consuming journey. I left the hotel around 3.00pm. Took a taxi to KL Central, cost me $6.00. I went straight to the MAS check-in counter. I was worried with my luggage. When I left KKIA, my luggage was 19.5kg (including a notebook). Now, with all the heavy books, I’m sure it’s going to shoot up…

When I checked-in my luggage, phewww… it’s 27kg, although I’ve removed my second notebook into my backpack… My backpack is like 15kg now with both notebooks in it. Lucky MAS did not charge me for the extra weight. Then take ERL to KLIA and arrived there around 4.00pm. I have to kill my time doing random-shoot since my flight is at 6.40pm. Unfortunately, I can’t show the photos yet…

What I hate with KLIA is, it take a very long time to take off… it will take almost 20 minutes just to taxi to the runway and takeoff… the runway is so far from the terminal… then it have to queue-up if there are aircrafts ahead… and if there is an aircraft landing, it have to wait for that too… yea, we give way to an AirAsia to land. We only took off around 7.00pm++ although the aircraft moved on time at 6.40pm.

I was lucky; the flight is not full, on my row 18/L, only 2 out of 3 seats occupied. Then transit at Labuan… for another 40 minutes. Landed at KKIA around 10.20pm

Oooo man… my Watermark Factory can’t be used any longer. My trial period is over. I was enjoying using it for the past few weeks. It is piece of great software to add watermark on your photos and for editing photos too. I guess I will not shows any photos for a while, I hate using the photo editor I have right now. Maybe I buy the Watermark Factory online… it’s only $49 + $7 for insurance…
