Can technology help find these thieves?

Saw this post in Facebook today and immediately downloaded DropBox to my smartphone.

But it will be interesting to see if Ranimah can locate her note and laptop with this photo.

It's quite a clear photo of the perpetrators, so let's keep our fingers crossed.



Know them? They are thieves!

結果照片上傳,樣子拍得很清楚
請網民人肉搜索出這兩個偷別人東西還沾沾自喜的人
Assalamualaikum friends, my note 10.1 and laptop were stolen on January 4 this year from a restaurant in Seri Kembangan area. I installed dropbox in all my gadgets including the ones being stolen, and it is my habit to import every photos to my dropbox account. While importing the photos last week, I noticed several unfamiliar faces inside my dropbox camera uploads folder and it came to my mind yesterday that these are the faces who stole my gadgets. Look at these faces, they are so proud modelling my note inside public toilet, they didn't even bother to change the cover (you know pink is one of my fav colour, and I definitely recognised this pink cover). I believe they didn't sign out or delete my dropbox folder inside the note and that's why their photos imported to my folder. I am going to do police report today with these photos but I hope to locate the thieves, anyone have seen them before? Please help me to share this photo and locate the thieves, I hope to find back my laptop too.

Useful tips when travelling to Hong Kong




AIRPORT
Travelling out of HK with Air Asia is from Terminal 2, not Terminal 1. However if you alighted the bus at Terminal 1, no worry. It is within walking distance.

You just need to take a lift down and make your way to the bus / train direction. Near the entrance of the train station, pls take an escalator or lift to go down. When you walk out, you need to take an escalator up one floor to reach the check in counters.

Sounds confusing? No worry.. as HK is very systematic, they have personnels on hand to give directions PLUS the whole airport has free WIFI (except toilet areas).




EATING
even though most signboards and menu are in chinese, there are high chances are they will have english menu when you ASK - the operative word is ask. You have to request for it!


SIGHT SEEING
1) you can get cheaper entrance fees from local hong kong travel agent - eg from your hotel or etc. They are normally cheaper by HKD20 - HKD30.


2) Ngong Ping 360 cable car
you may get cheaper vouchers from travel agent but the best method is to pay FULL online as the queue can be very very long especially during weekends. I waited for 1 hour on Sunday at about 11am. The queue got longer at about 12pm. You do NOT have to queue when you purchase online.

What's there?
Well unless you join a local tour once you reach Ngong Ping Village or you are into climbing up the hill to see the Big Buddha or eat the vegetarian food, there is basically nothing much to see or do in Ngong Ping.






3) Ocean Park vs HK Disneyland
This is personal preference. If you like colours and taking photos of animated characters, then Disney is for you. I mean, how to fight with Mickey and gangs right?

But if you are into nature, there are a lot of interesting exhibits in Ocean Park especially in the Grand Aquarium. You get to see real sharks, jelly fish, sturgeon, pandas, sea lions, penguins and etc.

Price
Ocean Park HKD280 adult
Disney HKD399 adult

Rides at Ocean Park
Rides
More thrill rides in Ocean Park but no 3D or 4D rides in Ocean Park.

Overall feel around the park
Disney beats Ocean Park on this hands down. I mean the entrance at Ocean Park looks very aged and boring to say the least and the signboards inside the park are quite confusing in Ocean Park and a lot of places looks a bit 90s, like the sitting places as well as eateary outlets.

Even some of rides look outdated.

Getting There
This deserves a special mention as again Disney beats Ocean Park on this hands down on this cos at the end of the Symbio show (which runs at 7pm daily) in Ocean Park, everyone rush out to go home and only mode of transportation are either taxi or bus no. 629. Can you imagine the queue??

VERDICT:-
Priority is Disney but if you have been to Disney and you have the time and money to spend, then you can go for Ocean Park as well cos where else can you find 4 pandas in one park outside of China.

SHOPPING
I actually enjoyed most of my shopping in Citygate Outlets, which is a big mall adjacent to the Ngong Ping Cable car station with the largest number of outlets shops!



Because of it's close proximity to HK airport, you'll see a lot of people with luggage in the mall.

It's big and most major brands are there but dont expect good service as due to the crowds most of the staffs will be missing in action. You basically have the find the size, colour etc yourself.

But you'll be rewarded with good prices and extra discounts when buying more than 2 items at most shops.

I prefer here cos it's air-con, covered and you get everything under one roof cos I find Mongkok area too  crowded for my liking :(

ACCOMMODATION
I stayed in a budget place called Golden Wave Hotel. They do not have online booking as you basically call and speak to the proprietor themselves. Prices are seasonal and fluctuates from time to time. Dont expect big rooms but this is after all HK!

For their website click http://www.goldenwavehotel.com.hk/en/info.html




Location is very very convenient. Just a stone throw away from Jordan MTR station exit C2. To get here from airport, the fastest and cheapest way is via airport bus A22 HKD39 one way as the bus stops right next to the hotel.

Worth mentioning is the hotel is just next row to Australian Dairy Co. and same row as Yee Shun Dairy Co.! Yummy yummy!!

CONCLUSION
leave me a comment if you need help getting around HK and I'll be most obliged to help when possible =D

Oliferin - for better skin!


If you are a follower of my blog, you might have read about me getting lots of sand flies bites (click this link sand-flies-bite-and-treatment).

When I could no longer stand the itch, I visited a doctor and whilst I was there, asked him a lot of health questions. Like why do I always come back from a walk in the park with rashes on my leg.

The doctor explained it's cos I have grass allergy. Meaning my skin gets easily inflamed and react cos it's not balance. So he recommended that I take a supplement named Oliferin as it's a powerful anti-oxident made from olives from Spain.




To visit the official website, click this link Benefits of Oliferin

Well I did not take to his advice immediately as the price is quite high for me and I was taking GNC Double Strength Fish Oil then. But I did keep the pamphlet and google on it. Finally in February 2013 I thought ok, why not give this a try.

I bought it from OUG pharmacy and it was running a promotion pack, meaning buy 2 bottle (60tab x 2) and free 1/2 bottle (30tab). So I paid RM270 for 150 tablets meaning each tablet costs RM1.80



The packing was a bit of a put off as the paper stopper on the cap was discoloured.



But do not let this stop you from trying Oliferin because after about 2 weeks of consuming 1 tabled a day, I noticed the skin on my legs were better and the pigmentation on my face lighter.



Now I am going to finish 1 bottle and my legs have improved significantly. Previously my legs were so dry that it shines and is very very tight to the point of cracking. Too bad I did not take photos of my legs before consumption. It was much much worst than the photos below.

After 3 weeks
Improvement after 3 weeks


Now it looks more like normal skin though it still shines a bit. Even the ugly veins have improved!!


After 50 days

So if you suffer from dry skin, I will definitely recommend Oliferin to you!

Traditional remedy for heatiness

As we are living in tropical Malaysia, the weather can sometimes be too hot for our body.. coupled with lack of rest, stress and poor diet which can lead to "heatiness" in our body.

A tell-tale sign of heatiness - bad breath or heaty breath and possible body rashes or pimples.

To combat it, try boiling some chinese herbs such as barley, crysehthemum (or kekwa in malay).

Alternatively for extreme heatiness especially in cases of CHICKEN POX, I boil a pack of concoctions purchase from chinese drug store.

You can drink 100 Plus, Pocari Sweat, Livita or even coconut but these herbs worked for me besides I find coconut gives my stomach wind.


The key ingredient in those packs are the shavings of animal horns.. Any animal horns will do but of course horns from exotic animals like antelope, gazelle or water buffalo are more effective and pricier.

The ones in the picture below, even though stated as antelope, I highly suspect are just plain cow or goat horns cos the pack only cost me RM10.



So next time you feel heaty, why not give traditional remedy a try! Just buy a pack, boil it in water! Easy peasy!!

When boiling there's a slight smell.. hard to describe it. The boiled water is almost colourless and tasteless just like normal drinking water.

Between Coconut n Olive

Life is so ironic.

Seriously! Perfect example:-

My Turkish boss was planning a trip back to Turkey and a malaysian friend asked him to look for an olive oil supplement for him as the price here is higher and the brand is from Turkey.

So when he is Turkey, while he was looking for this olive oil, a turkish friend asked him to look for a coconut  oil supplement as the price there is higher.

Both these friends were adamant that the respective oil works wonder for them!

Just goes to show that human are never satisfied with what we already have. Seriously coconut is very cheap in Malaysia and we have plenty of them.. Guess the guy in Turkey will say the same about olive oil ;p

In conclusion, my boss couldn't find that particular brand of olive oil supplement in Turkey.. Not sure if he found the coconut oil in Malaysia. I think the chances of finding the same brand here are quite slim.
