Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2021

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri 2021

Wishing my Muslim friends a safe Syawal this year. It’s was a last-minute decision that our government had to make that there will be no visiting and crossing districts and states to celebrate. What to do? It’s all for our own safety. The hospital beds and ICUs are running out. Sarawak still refuses to follow the MCO order from the federal side. It’s not getting any better here and soon we’ll be seeing resources running low. Had just found out recently that a number of acquaintances are now in the hospital fighting for their lives all because of some decisions that some idiots decided to make and these people are paying for that egoistic decision now. Sigh… Whatever… Say so much also no use. Just hope for the best, stay safe and healthy, everyone.

By the way, since we can’t go visiting, can’t go anywhere, I dug out my baju kurung that I’ve never really worn. So… These photos are exclusively shown here on my social media accounts, you will never see me in such clothes in public. I just cannot wear them out haha…

There you go… Take care! Enjoy your weekend.

How I Lost RM500 Lazada Voucher After Getting It

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on How I Lost RM500 Lazada Voucher After Getting It

Was so excited to receive the prize of RM500 Lazada Voucher and had planned out how to do a new series for my YouTube channel. It will be a series of unboxing purchase made from Lazada that worth over RM500 inclusive of shipping fee(shipping fee cannot be offset from the voucher). However, plan has now gone down the drain as the sponsor(I do not know who but I am guessing that I know who) had decided that I am not qualified to it as I was joining it with an old post on Instagram in which there were no mention that it is not allowed. If there was a mention, then I would just do a new post and upload the video again that time. The host had declared me the winner last weekend and announced it to the public. Then yesterday, the host was being told by the sponsor that I should not win, it is unfair to other participants(Hmm… I think not many joined, just 2 if I’m not mistaken based on the comment left in the contest post). So my prize was given to the other person and the announcement on Instagram too was changed.

I know the host feels bad about it, I will too as it will not do any good to his/her reputation too, I am sure the host did not want to retract the prize but the sponsor insisted on it. As a KOL or influencer or whatever you called it who is the host, you definitely do not want to piss your sponsor off hence you complied but sad to say what the sponsor did will cause reputation damage to you if it happened to someone isn’t as kind as me. I did not want to argue with the host as I’ve known the host in person for years, instead I shared about such act as being illegal if report is lodge to KPDNHEP so that next time the host can take note in future contest.

Sadly, the sponsor (I assume is a big organization) isn’t doing their part. From what I understand, they did not inform the host of the terms hence the host decided on the winner based on own discretions and then to be informed by the sponsor that I cannot be the winner after result was announced and prize was given. Come on! PR!! This is PR disaster if the person you deal with is someone else. Both the host and sponsor did not communicate on the terms before organizing the contest and the winner has to be penalized for their miscommunication and misorganization. The sponsor calling it unfair for me to win but legally it is no longer about fairness but trust once prize is given. It is BREACH OF TRUST!

Oh well… I know I’m no big time blogger/influencer/KOL or whatever you called it. If I happened to be one, I am sure the sponsor won’t dare to act that way. Too bad, I am not and I am too kind to still talk nicely and share knowledge with the host for future campaign. The summary is in my Instagram and Facebook page which I posted last night. Let it be a lesson to everyone even though the posts are not getting any traction. Don’t care la! I’ve told you my part, it’s for you to judge who is right or wrong. Whatever it is, do not use foul language if you want to comment. Cheers!

Happy Lunar New Year 2021

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Happy Lunar New Year 2021

We’ve gone into 2021, now it’s the Lunar New Year, the Year of the Ox is here now! This year, no open house, everyone just stay put where they are. My sister and brother are not coming back too, they’re stuck overseas. Oh well… What to do? Just stay safe everyone so that we have more years to celebrate.

Can’t see the end of the tunnel yet but hopefully *finger crossed* soon we’ll get better. I would say just stay home this year, don’t go visit those not staying in the same household even though the government allows it with some SOPs in place. Being a smart person, you know you shouldn’t do it even when it’s allowed. We’ve seen cases that stemmed from family events the last few months, are you going to risk it and create a CNY clusters? It’s your choice.

Last but not least, please be responsible in protecting people around you. May the new year brings you great health, wealth, and happiness. Take care!

Happy 2021

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Happy 2021

So… 2020 is over… What flying car? What developed country? Nothing… The country is only going backward with power crazy politikus coupled with the pandemic which turned the country upside down. Are we seeing light at the end of the tunnel? I don’t know… One thing for sure, it’s f*ck up in the political front whether there’s a pandemic or not. All these things are out of our control, can’t really do much but to ride with the unsettling waves. However, I’m glad that I survived 2020 without much of a problem with my loved ones. Thankful for that. This is more important than anything else.

Will 2021 be better? Not going to expect too much for this year. It will be pretty much the same as 2020. With the state election that will be coming really soon, I guess what Sabah has been going through even until now will be coming to Sarawak too. What can we do? Nothing… We can only take care of ourselves and fend for ourselves while the power hungry politikus play their game of power.

That’s all I can say for 2020. Take care and pray that there will be miracle one day. What a way to start the new year.

Malaysia RMCO Extended to 31st December 2020

Posted on By sweet surrender No Comments on Malaysia RMCO Extended to 31st December 2020

So… It’s September, we are still in RMCO. It’s supposed to end on 31st August 2020 but our PM announced that it will be extended until 31st December 2020. There goes our 2020… Down the drain… Who would expect that your 2020 will be staying at home without flying cars or LRT? 😀 Whatever it is, continue to stay safe and stay healthy.

I’ve started to do some videos with my Canon IXUS 285 HS that I bought in 2018 after having it sitting there doing nothing after my Osaka trip last year. I have two playlists for it, one is about any video that I could record and upload without editing while the other one is video of cloud with relaxing or calming music. Here’s the playlists:

Just a quick short post this time. I’m slacking… Can’t believe it’s September already… Gonna be one year older… Can time slow down? Anyway, just hope to see things improve and hope that we can go back to our normal life.
