CCTV Cameras

1. CCTV Cameras. These cameras are typically installed in shops or outside buildings as a form of crime deterrence. Whoever commits any form of crime in areas with these cameras will have their actions captured on video.

2. Unfortunately, I frequently see CCTV videos of theft and robbery are being misused by the viral media to bash and humiliate the unemployed and jobless as lazy, making it a rather insulting form of clickbaiting practiced by the viral media.

Why Are Good Deeds Of The Unemployed Never Go Viral? (Updated: 10/02, 2155 Hrs)

This image, courtesy of SiakapKeli (original post here), shows a viral post in 2015 about a medical assistant helping an elderly woman.

Whenever I read viral news on the internet about someone doing a good deed, it will always be someone with a job (example: civil servants); So far, in Malaysia, at least, I have yet to see anyone viralling a good deed by an unemployed person.

Cold Weather

Today is almost five days since the weather outside was colder than the usual. It all started due to the non-stop rain for nearly two days, starting between Wednesday to Thursday, if I remember correctly. I can still remember that the temperature at Bangi dropped to 22°c at night due to the rain and cloudy skies for the whole day, and yesterday was no different, the highest temperature was at 27°c instead of the usual 32-35°c.

Normally, the weather is only cold here at night when it was either cloudy or raining during the evening. However, this time, it feels like I'm visiting a cold climate country (example: Japan), neccessitating me to wear a hoodie during the day, for two days! Even the tap water is really cold!

It's only a matter of time when it will all go back to normal.

Comic Fiesta 2017 Day Two Report, 17/12/2017 (Updated: 19/12, 2324 Hrs)

(UPDATE: 19/12/2017) Before I begin, as a blogger and also a cosplayer, I strongly condemn the Pepper Spray Attack which happened at Comic Fiesta 2017 Day Two at 7.00 p.m, and I hoped that this kind of incident shall never happen again next time. Click here for more info.

Continued from here, this is a blog post of Comic Fiesta 2017 Day Two. On that day, I decided to use my camera despite having a malfunctioned SteadyShot, although Anti-Motion Blur and Superior Auto modes do help a bit. Somehow, this makes me feel nostalgic, as photos from my previous Comic Fiesta visits are taken using a camera without image stabilisation; Expect some motion blur in some of the photos.

Finally, unlike yesterday's post, this post will be published once all photos and videos have been uploaded and posted here.

Comic Fiesta 2017 Day One Report, 16/12/2017 (Updated: 18/12, 0100 Hrs)

Today is exactly one year have passed since Comic Fiesta 2016, and this blog post is, once again, is about that same ACG event held once a year every December called Comic Fiesta. Unlike last year, which was held at PWTC's Dewan Tun Razak, this year's Comic Fiesta is held at KL Convention Centre.

This post also marks the first live, periodically updated post in this blog, as most of the photos are uploaded after it was taken from my Sony Xperia ZR smartphone.

Trying Out McDonald's Fish & Fries

Normally, when it comes to fish & chips, the only place I know that serves the best fish & chips is none other than Manhattan Fish Market restaurant. However, early this November, McDonald's Malaysia introduced a fish & chips meal called the Fish & Fries, and it comes in two variations; one with single fish fillet and the other with two fish fillets, and both meals come with fries and a drink.

And so, while on my way back home from Seremban, my sister stopped by at McDonald's Bandar Seri Putra, where her two children bought their own meals, while I bought the 1 piece Fish & Fries meal.

Making Stovetop Caramel Popcorn

If you're a moviegoer, then you know and always buy popcorn before you watch a movie at the cinema. Popcorn can also be made at home using either a popcorn maker or on a stovetop. And so, after ranting for some time, I am going to show how I make my own caramel popcorn on a stovetop.

Random Rant: Getting A Job & Criticising Unemployment Bashing

Last Wednesday, I went to a nearby mobile accessories shop to apply for a job, as I am finally getting sick and tired with all the hate and scorn coming from every direction (even from my own family!), due to my long-term unemployment. Sometime after that, this question suddenly came up to my mind:

"If I finally got a job, will I still criticise unemployment bashing?"

Happy Pocky Day 11.11

E:62:10 Error Code on Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 (Updated: 10/03, 1105 Hrs)

After three years of serving me as my one and only photography tool, my Sony Cyber-Shot RX100 is now having an E:62:10 error, which means that the image stabilisation has malfunctioned.

Although the camera can be used to take photos normally, the flashing error code not only annoys me, but also, photos appear to look similar to what a digital camera without image stabilisation would capture when your hands are shaky.

I guess my worst fears did come true, after all.
