Ronald "J.P" Cheng

Meet little Ron...probably few weeks old after he was born.


Calculation:

Cost of camera then: BND$100?
Cost of Kodak film: BND$10.00
Cost to develop film: BND $0.30

Total 'cost' for the above picture: $110.30

Now assuming that the camera was 2 years old..so we depreciate that. Obviously the cost would be less than the above mention amount. Ok? Ok!

Fast forward..bla bla bla! Estimated value today: $0.00 -_-"


"In the case of the Jolie-Pitt twins, an unsourced report claimed the worldwide rights sold for $14 million, more than three times the rumored $4.1 million deal for Shiloh's baby photos in 2006. People has said that the rumored numbers for both deals, as well as those for other famous babies that have adorned its pages, are excessive. But it has declined to elaborate. " -Yahoo! News

Like seriously man, before these 2 babies can even say the word "Gu!", they're already worth million of dollars...! Like man! I don't get what's the hype with spending million of dollars for getting those pictures. Maybe if both Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt strip bare naked, then ok lah understandable but pictures of 2 little babies? 14 million dollars! U.S DOLLARS somemore! (Sorry, that the Chinese part in me that's just shouting out! ) That's...just wrong. Wrong as in if you take the most recent local news like yesterday when i heard that our country, Brunei managed to donate about US $1.2 million dollars to the Sichuan earthquake relief fund after months of collection whereas a company just cough up 14 times the amount just for pictures!

I don't wanna ask much la for the above. People Mag, US$1 million enough already. ^^;

Brangelina, adopt me!! I shall be Ronald 'Jolie-Pitt' Cheng...haha!

In Him

APL*ITUNES 866-712-7753 on your bank statement? YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED.

[Update 17Jan2018] - Wow. To think that 8 years later, this scam is still going on as I'm still getting the odd notifications every now and then with comments on this post. TLDR: If you guys stumble upon this random site because of the APL*ITUNES 866-71-2-7753 charge on your credit/debit card, call your bank immediately and report it as a fraud.  If you have an iTunes account and have any bank cards associated with it, you might wanna beware. I normally check my bank accounts every now and then just to be sure that there's nothing fishy going on in there and of course at the same time, just like many of you *secretly* hoping that someone might accidentally transfer $1 million to my account as well. I've had a few cases of credit card frauds happening and so far, banks have been very cooperative with disputing transactions and issuing me a new card (especially my local bank, SCB Brunei. Well done!). So today, i checked one of my overseas bank account and found out tha...

Foreigner marrying a local Bruneian. A step by step guide.

Image
Time to put this blog to good use again. Seeing that there's hardly any resources online for what one should do when they have decided to marry a local Bruneian, here's what I can tell you in a quick summary.  Brace yourself.  Especially when dealing with the immigration department officials and the paperwork requirement. Despite being married for two years now, whenever I have to make a trip to the immigration to renew Calla's visa, my mood instantly turns sour and I just rage mentally. The repetitive paperwork submissions and the waiting time is absolutely ridiculous and if you're unlucky, you'll be greeted with a " Nombor sudah habis " (Out of queuing numbers) just as you arrive at the immigration which pretty much means, screw you - try your luck again tomorrow! And I shit you not, in order to secure a queue number in the morning, one have to start queuing in line by 6 am at the very least while those working at the immigration department is prob...

"You have a lucky face" / "You are lucky" scam.

Image
Re-posting this from my status update on Facebook which I shared the other day on a rather unique encounter.  --  On my way to my car after work today (while doing my Pokestop runs) an Indian fella stopped me on my track and said "You're very lucky. You have 3 lines on your forehead I can see that is luck".   That obviously stopped me for a bit as he approached me and said "You wanna know how I know? I can tell people's fortune. You wanna know your fortune?" Curious me nodded yes while my brain let out a big sigh and told me "That's it, you're gonna fall for this somehow." This "fortune t eller" proceeds to make small talks about how I'm happy but I'm only 40% happy while scribbling on his notepad discreetly. He then crumpled up the paper and made me hold it in my first and said "What I wrote in there, you don't know right?" (cues my no shit, Sherlock! moment) Then he started asking me to pick a n...
