&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Just want to find out from the readers… how many of you will
get real pissed off when the merchant tell you that, hey we only receive credit
card if the payment is above RM40 or RM50? What if at that point in time you
only have RM30 or even less than that?? Or, you have the money but the money is
meant for other purposes???&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
Would you spend the money and purchase what you needed or
you will just walk away??&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I encountered this when over the past weekends, and I was honestly
really pissed. This though isn’t my first encounter, however, we have voiced
out many times that this should be the merchant to voice out to the bank and
not taking us the consumer for the ride. It shouldn’t be charging the consumer.
Some merchant will impose a 2.5% if you use the credit card for payment. For
example, buying hand phone, TV, camera, etc.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
In fact, a few of these merchants could be easily remembered
when they tell me such rules… &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
1. Sakae Sushi in Gurney Plaza; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
2. Home’s Harmony in Gurney Plaza; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
3. Xuan Xin Restaurant in Gurney Plaza and many others&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;
I would wish all the consumers out there and stand up and
tell these merchants, we do have our own &lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red; font-size: large;&quot;&gt;CONSUMER RIGHTS!! AND DO NOT TAKE US
FOR&amp;nbsp; GRANTED!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2012/06/consumer-right.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Persiaran Gurney, Georgetown, 10250 George Town, Penang, Malaysia</georss:featurename><georss:point>5.434453 100.314887</georss:point><georss:box>5.4265495 100.3050165 5.4423565000000007 100.3247575</georss:box></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-4421997562961331894</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Apr 2010 14:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2010-04-16T22:53:23.019+08:00</atom:updated><title>Xenophobia</title><description>Xenophobia is something that one may find it seriously percept in one person’s mind.

A place where I could explore how to grill a bird, a fish, or anything… a place where I can experiment in making some desserts, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love to have an island in my kitchen… probably I’ve seen too much of movies or drama, or even Asian Food Channel from Astro that most of the kitchen will have an island to prepare their food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apart from the kitchen, island… cook book is something that I wish to compile right now, where I could build up my little library. Well, say it I got the inspiration from my pal – Little Inbox. When I see her preparing her food and photo her food that honestly inspires me a lot. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmmmm… am day dreaming, don’t I?</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/11/day-dream.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-3485615388857008624</guid><pubDate>Tue, 27 Oct 2009 02:50:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-27T10:51:10.501+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Search</title><description>Gee… I have not been writing… don’t I?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same old excuse is I’ve been busy.

It’s because such weather, you don’t have those hot and sweaty and stinky smell on you. And raining days its cooler and it like a free air-cond at home where you could bake your favourite cakes or cookies in the kitchen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then why it changed from good to bad? There are many things affecting me, whether at work or on family and personal. It didn’t just come and go, but it’s rather dragging and it’s slowly killing your mind, your strength.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I know if I do not take things lightly and manage it well, I will eventually end up in visiting psychiatrist. The matter of fact, I know I have lots of family issues neither disturbing me which I know I can’t let it out from my chest, nor letting it go.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuz, the fact is, I am belonging to this family which I can’t leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I have the choice, I wish I do not born to suffer this pain, I wish I can turn back the clock, I wish I can leave everything behind without worrying.</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/08/i-wish-to-turn-back-clock.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-1615234623630212898</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Jul 2009 06:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-16T14:10:14.028+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Unreleased Video Clip</title><description>The more we should understand why he has to do a plastic surgery... right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/js/2.0/video/evp/module.js?loc=int&amp;vid=/video/showbiz/2009/07/15/dcl.mj.pepsi.cnn&quot;

DEATH</title><description>On Friday, 12 June 2009, at 5.17pm, while I was busy cleaning my room, my former classmate gave me a call, asked me do I still remember so and so. Of course, I said ya, I know him, and I remember I saw him not long ago.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, my classmate broke the news to me, saying that he committed suicide and jumped down from an apartment an hour ago yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was shocked, goose bumps all over my arms. I just don’t believe it as I remembered I just met my other classmate not long ago. And never believe this could happen to him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worst is, leaving behind 2 kids; the eldest was only 12 years old. How would the family take it? We even as classmate already hard to accept the fact that he jumped down from the apartment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Until today, at this moment, we do not know what the reason behind for this suicidal case was. Whether as what the news said they are now investigating as sudden death or murder, but I wish the truth will appear and return the family the justice no matter what the case is.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God bless!</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/06/sudden-news-death.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-4433641501462887382</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jun 2009 00:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-13T08:51:06.095+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Society</category><title>Snatch Thief = BxxxxRD!</title><description>I curse those that snatched people’s bag die on accidents!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How could this thing happen?

Scream and grab as hard as possible, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sorry and allow me to call these people &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;BASTARDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’re out of job, you don’t need to snatch people’s bag, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;BASTARDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;!!</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/06/snatch-thief-bxxxxrd.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-2178447019474418663</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 07:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-10T15:49:05.360+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Thought</category><title>Will you object?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Many object to making English a ‘must pass’ SPM subject!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot;&gt;The above &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2009/6/10/nation/4084482&amp;amp;sec=nation&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3333ff;&quot;&gt;title&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000000;&quot;&gt; really caught my attention! Would you agree with the above?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would 101% agree to this idea and this implementation. English is an International Language, and you could see these in International Airport, even Olympic games, SEA Games, etc. When you’re doing an international business, English is required. When you’re in café, bar, bistro, people speak English.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was very disappointed to see there are many people out there right now does not dare to speak out, especially English. Whether is poor or broken, just have the guts to say it out. No one would laugh at you, no one would condemn you. At least you learn, and if you make mistake from there, you could pick up. Right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truly wish this could be the MUST PASS subject for SPM, at least, it gives the nation a better future!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/06/will-you-object.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-7545842851016344578</guid><pubDate>Tue, 02 Jun 2009 07:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-02T15:28:42.979+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Economy</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><title>Losing Focus</title><description>Lately many companies are under going some kind of restructuring, and that exercise has actually given lots of employees a very negative effective.

So her parents answered, that building is for old people to stay. Of course, for a 3 year old kid will not understand what is old folks home, thus, an old people building would be more appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, guess what the kiddo said?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“For old people…. For daddy mommy?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The parents straight away laughed out loud and come to think of it, they both fainted when she said that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, today is Friday… though sadness had slightly faded off, I know I have to bury it no matter how… life still go on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy weekend everyone!</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/05/kiddo.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-3462801682330340089</guid><pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2009 06:49:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-13T14:49:56.887+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Thought</category><title>Lost</title><description>When people tell you treasure every moment with your best pal or your love ones, please do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today whole day I wasn’t in the mood to work… things happened too abruptly, and too shock that nobody could have the mind to get ready what to do next.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And the person that left me is somebody that I am very close to, whether at work, on work or personal.

Come on, that&#39;s people personal&#39;s life, isn&#39;t it?&lt;br /&gt;Isn&#39;t it silly to call off the wedding due to media frenzies? Even so, so what?? Just sue them for infringe of privacy then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I always believe there&#39;s always a way of getting rid of these media... if Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes could do it in Italy, then who is this Andy Lau??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/05/what-idol.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5600247842351116349.post-8082983568522297011</guid><pubDate>Tue, 05 May 2009 09:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-05T17:38:24.677+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Personal</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tragic</category><title>Traumatic Incident</title><description>When we read papers on child abuse, kidnap, car ride terror... we could never feel how terrify it is, unless you personally feels it.

That’s what I referred violent movie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, watched a year 2007 drama romance movie, it’s about 5 women and a man to form a book club that reads Jane Austen’s novel and also each of those novels is reflects in their personal life, like marriage and relationship. If you have no idea who is Jane Austen, am sure if you’re into English literature, you’ll know Pride &amp;amp; Prejudice, Emma, Persuasion, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oops, the movie name is &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Jane_Austen_Book_Club_(film)&quot;&gt;The Jane Austen Book Club&lt;/a&gt;. For a start is kinda lost and slow, but if you carry on… it doesn’t that bad at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Each of Jane Austen’s novel reflects into each of the women’s personal life, regardless their marriage or their relationship and as well as their character.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At least it’s a pleasant movie to watch compared to Shinjuku Incidents (&lt;a href=&quot;http://shinjukuincident.emp.hk/en_main.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;新宿事件&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;).</description><link>http://lifeballade.blogspot.com/2009/04/jane-austens-book-club.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><thr:total>3</thr:total></item></channel></rss>
