Imitation power bank

An imitation 
Not very familiar with what an original Yoobao power bank packaging looks like, I went ahead to buy this.
I have browsed through various brands,  original and non-original. After buying an imitation online, of course not knowing that it's an imitation one, I thought I became wiser.

Yoobao is a reliable and popular brand,  so I was told. I was shown the packaging of an original Yoobao and was informed how to look out for original product.  Yet, when I stumbled into such power bank in a shop in Leisure Mall, I thought I was getting a good bargain for a genuine product. 

After a visit to Low Yat today,  I knew I was taken in for a ride.  Upon browsing through some original Yoobao power banks,  I notice something was amiss. My power bank was nowhere to be seen on the rack. I don't see any of those packaging having any similarity with the packaging of the so-called original one I have.

My suspicion was going to be proven soon. After looking at what I bought,  I am certified a victim of imitation goods. Worse, the price I paid was RM189 for a 13000mah power bank. An original one for 15600mah is RM219, before discount.

Should I take any action?  Depends. ....

My ambition was to be an accountant

From the first year I reached secondary school until I graduated, being an accountant had always been my first choice ambition.  It was only on my final year in Secondary 5 that my first choice had changed to being a 'Manageress'.  Somehow, as a child, an accountant gave me the impression of being a very highly-respectable profession.  Not only that, one can only call herself an accountant after passing all the necessary examinations.  She can't call herself one just because she holds the title of 'accountant'.  Having knowledge of this respectable profession or rather occupation, as what I knew last time, and the fact that not anyone can be an accountant, I told myself that that would be my choice.  How about doctors and lawyers? Aren't these respectable occupations? Oh yes, they are. And these earn a lot of money too.  I had even  thought about whether I would be able to be a good lawyer as being a lawyer means one needs to ha...

Books which collect dust

So little time, yet so many things to accomplish.  Now, when will I have the time to read the books I bought?  There are at least 5 books that I have bought but are now sitting uselessly while accumulating dust in the book shelf.  Some of them are just flipped for a few pages and later abandoned again.  I feel so sorry that these books are not read yet for its contents.  I'm sure there are intricacies,wonders and amazement waiting to be discovered by reading them.  But, what will power do I have to pick up one and start reading regardless of my busyness?

Why people blog?

Why people blog? The latest bug is lurking and penetrating to people from all walks of life, be they politicians, housewives (oh no, homemakers please as they prefer to be called due to their diverse duties), royal blood, retirees, entrepreneurs, corporate high-flyers, celebrities and more common people like me and some of you reading this post. A blogging family of father (the new or 'old' kid of the blog) and daughter , interesting. Actually, Tun Mahathir has been sharing his voices but this time he cleverly uses a different and wider platform. Each blogger has different objective/s. The bug got some into trouble , brings some peace of mind and even prosperity. The power of this bug has been grossly under-estimated until the government's ruling party's so-called unexpected 'defeat'. As for me, a better life is what I'm hoping for. For someone who used to sneer at blogging as a way to 'show-off' one's talents and 'announcing' to the wor...
