Ramai yang kini dilihat sudah mula merancang untuk melancong ke luar negara

Kepada yang bakal merancang percutian tidak lama lagi, apa persediaan anda selain menempah tiket dan tempat penginapan? Kalau pergi bercuti ke luar negara ataupun dalam negara, sudah pasti kita suka bergambar dan OOTD untuk kita kenang sebagai memori indah. Kalau macam itu, sudah tentu kita perlukan kamera canggih bukan? Jangan risau anda hanya perlukan telefon pintar yang lengkap dengan kamera canggih dan ketahanan bateri yang lama. Lagi senang nak berjalan! Telefon dah settle, sekarang anda hanya perlu tahu petua fotografi supaya anda boleh menangkap gambar travel seperti profesional!

1.  Gunakan rule of thirds

Rule of thirds merupakan satu petunjuk yang membantu para jurugambar mengambil gambar dengan menfokuskan objek di tempat yang sesuai. Kebiasaannya, telefon pintar akan tetapkan grid 9 segmen. Objek yang hendak difokuskan hanya boleh menyentuh 1 garisan dalam 1 segmen saja, tak kisah sama ada dalam bentuk vertikal atau horizontal.

2. Kenal pasti blue hour dan golden hour

Blue hour adalah semasa keadaan langit terlihat biru, iaitu sebelum matahari terbit di pagi hari dan sesudah matahari terbenam di waktu senja. Konsep blue hour sangat sesuai untuk mengambil gambar jenis city photography kerana lampu bangunan dan jalanan memang blend in dengan latar langit yang kebiruan.

Image via Conor MacNeill

Golden hour pula adalah semasa langit berwarna keemasan. Biasanya sejam sebelum atau selepas matahari terbit dan terbenam. Sesuai jika anda ingin mengambil gambar di tepi pantai atau tempat yang menampakkan view nature yang luas.

3. Guna pencahayaan semula jadi

Gambar akan jadi lebih sempurna apabila ia tidak over exposure (lebih pencahayaan). Anda boleh kawal pencahayaan dalam gambar. Tidak mengapa jika gambar anda tidak mempunyai pencahayaan sempurna kerana boleh disunting berbanding gambar yang over expose. Tipsnya, ambil saja gambar menggunakan pencahayaan semula jadi.

4. Variasikan angle anda

Kalau nak hasilkan gambar yang lawa, cuba variasikan angle anda. Jangan tumpukan pada satu tempat dan shoot. Cuba untuk gerakkan telefon anda sehingga dapatkan angle yang cantik dan sesuai.  Jadi, cubalah terokai angle yang sesuai dengan anda seperti low angle, high angle, eye-level angle, bird eye view dan lain-lain.

5. Bawa tripod sendiri

Kalau travel dengan kawan-kawan senanglah nak suruh mereka tolong ambilkan gambar bukan? Kalau travel solo, memang payah. Sebab itu, kena bawa tripod sendiri. Barulah senang nak adjust angle dan jarak yang kita nak. Kalau ambil gambar berkumpulan dengan kawan-kawan pun senang!

Nak lagi lengkap semasa travel, bawa telefon pintar terbaru Xiaomi 12T Pro bersama!

Telefon pintar Xiaomi bukan saja menjadi essential kepada penggembara dan orang yang gemar melancong, malah ia lengkap dengan pelbagai features yang canggih. Cipta mega momen: Xiaomi 12T Pro dilengkapi dengan sistem pengimejan 200MP pertama di Malaysia dalam kamera telefon pintar.

Tambahan lagi, teknologi Xiaomi ProFocus AI yang ada di dalam kamera ini akan menggabungkan fokus penjejakan motion, motion capture dan fokus penjejakan mata supaya dapat mengambil gambar bergerak lebih jelas. Jom lihat bukti! Tengok gambar di bawah ini, walaupun gambar telah dizoom, gambar tersebut masih jelas dan tidak pecah. Senang kalau travel nanti kan?

Lebih power: Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, SoC 4nm terkemuka dunia akan memberikan kuasa kepada pemprosesan imej, prestasi dan kecekapan. Ia akan meningkatkan prestasi sambil mengurangkan kuasa secara drastik, sebab itu jangka hayat bateri anda akan lebih lama dan telefon pintar anda akan terasa kurang haba.

Supermarket Employee Fired For Showing Up Early And Working Extra Hours

Yep, you read that right. A supermarket employee in Barcelona, Spain got fired after his bosses discovered that he'd been showing up early and working extra unpaid hours.

The former branch manager, known as "Jean P", would often turn up at 5am (an hour and a half before his shift) and spend "49 to 87 minutes" stacking shelves, making orders, and checking prices without being signed in to work

Photo for illustration purposes only.

According to Spanish newspaper El Pais, the Catalan branch of German discount supermarket chain Lidl found out that the Jean P would show up at least an hour before his shift to "prepare the shop for opening" without clocking in after reviewing CCTV footage in April. The former supermarket manager has worked at the Catalan branch of discount supermarket chain Lidl since 2005. He was dismissed in June 2017.

Despite his dedication, Jean P was sacked by the supermarket who claimed that he breached Lidl's rules banning unpaid overtime

Image via Albert Garcia / El Pais

In Jean P's termination notice, he was accused of "very serious labour breaches" as he had broken the supermarket chain's rules of paying employees for every minute worked and making sure all worked hours are properly logged. According to NZ Herald, he was also regularly in the branch alone, which is another breach of company rules. The Local ES also reported that the company received complaints from other employees that Jean P suggested they should also come in early.

Jean P has now taken his former employers to court for unfair dismissal and is seeking to get his job reinstated. The former manager also denied asking workers to turn up early for work, as alleged by the supermarket chain.

Trial commenced on Wednesday, in which the ex-employee stated he was never reprimanded nor punished for turning up early prior to his dismissal. He added that he only did so because the store was recently reorganised, hence extra time and dedication was needed to get the shop floor ready. In addition, Jean P's lawter Juan Guerra stated that Lidl only benefitted from any breach of rules, adding that his client had to work longer hours because he was under pressure to meet sales and performance targets.The case is currently still ongoing.

Meanwhile, in Malaysia, a city council staff member tried to file an overtime claim of RM1,300 for five hours of OT:

This Tiny PJ Store Can Refill Your Detergent, Soap, And Cleaners From RM2.60 Per KG

I admit that as long as there's constant production, it is sometimes difficult and inconvenient to avoid plastic completely

From household products to skincare items, plastic is used to contain almost everything we have today and can take years to dispose of - if at all.On top of that, a lot of the costs you pay for these products are often a result of the packaging itself.

Image via Tenor

To help this problem, a zero waste store in Damansara Kim, Petaling Jaya offers a brilliant solution

Formerly known as BYOB, which stands for Bring Your Own Bottle, KitaRefill is a tiny shop that sells everything you need for your home and personal hygiene by refilling used plastic bottles and containers.

Image via Joni Lynne (Provided to SAYS)

Image via Joni Lynne (Provided to SAYS)

All you need is to bring any old detergent bottles or containers that can hold a minimum of one kg and they will fill it up with what you request for

KitaRefill sells laundry detergents, fabric softener, floor cleaners, kitchen degreasers, car wash products, and other household cleaning agents by the kilogram.Among other things they have are shower gels, hand soaps, pet shampoo, and insect repellents.

Image via BYOB/Facebook

Each bottle is refilled according to what you ask and labelled to make it easy to identify

From left: Floor cleaner, Pine gel disinfectant, and dishwashing liquid.

Bar soaps.

All products are fully biodegradable, which just means that they are kinder to Mother Nature in the long run compared to regular store-bought products.In addition, the products are formulated without SLS (a skin irritant present in many cleaning solutions) and parabens (a preservative used in many products today).

Prices are very affordable and start from as low as RM2.60 per kg

They also have certified plant-based products imported from Australia - which are slightly more expensive than the others.

Image via Joni Lynne (Provided to SAYS)

You can select from two fragrances to be added into the products, which I highly recommend especially for detergent.I bought five litres of laundry detergent plus fragrance and it came up to roughly cheaper than buying a new bottle at a supermarket.

Stock lined up in the store to refill empty bottles.

You can pay for items either with cash or via GrabPay

Jaga-Jaga! Khidmat Tentera Mungkin Terpaksa Digunakan Jika Rakyat Masih Degil

Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah mengeluarkan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan pada Isnin lalu bagi menangani wabak Covid-19 dari terus merebak

Image via south china morning post

Meskipun sudah mula berkuat kuasa sejak semalam, masih ramai rakyat Malaysia yang dilihat mengambil mudah akan perkara itu dan tidak mematuhi arahan yang telah dikeluarkan oleh pihak kerajaan.Melihat kepada situasi itu, Muhyiddin pada malam tadi juga turut merayu kepada seluruh rakyat agar menuruti arahan yang diberikan dan duduk di rumah sepanjang tempoh kawalan.

Terbaru, Kementerian Pertahanan memaklumkan pihaknya mungkin terpaksa menggunakan khidmat tentera jika rakyat masih ingkar untuk mematuhi segala arahan

Image via sinar harian

Memetik laporan Berita Harian, Menterinya, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob berkata khidmat Angkatan Tentera Malaysia (ATM) mungkin perlu digunakan bagi menguatkuasakan Perintah Kawalan Pergerakan sekiranya rakyat masih bersikap degil.Jelasnya, khidmat anggota tentera boleh digunakan di kawasan kampung manakala polis pula akan menguatkuasakan perintah di bandar."(Sedia) guna tentera kalau ingkar (sebab) kampung tak cukup polis. Susah kawalan di kampung kalau RELA tak mampu, tentera mungkin digunakan di kampung, polis di bandar."Kalau (kadar) pematuhan tidak meningkat juga, pihak polis akan gunakan tindakan undang-undang dan tindakan tegas lagi ini. Saya harap, ia tidak perlu jika pematuhannya meningkat," katanya.

Beliau berkata pihak kementeriannya sedia berbuat demikian bagi mengurangkan pergerakan orang ramai

Image via keluarga

Katanya sehingga semalam, tahap pematuhan rakyat adalah sekitar 60 peratus dan kerajaan mahu angka ini dinaikkan dalam masa terdekat ini.Sabri dalam pada itu berkata polis juga sudah mengarahkan semua Ketua Polis Daerah untuk bertindak mempertingkatkan sekatan ini."Setakat ini hanya adakan pengumuman dan hebahan dulu. Semalam kita tunjukkan video oleh pihak polis buat hebahan dan pengumuman di seluruh negara."Jabatan Penerangan juga akan adakan hebahan kepada masyarakat. Walaupun kita benarkan rakyat keluar beli barang, cuba jarakkan diri apabila berada di kawasan ramai," katanya.

Buat rakyat Malaysia, tolonglah patuhi arahan, mudahkan kerja pihak berkuasa.

Pregnant Woman Loses Her Baby After Being Prescribed With Abortion Pills By Mistake

A 31-year-old pregnant woman from the Jiangxi province, China, recently lost her baby after going for a checkup at the hospital

Sin Chew Daily reported that the victim, who realised that she was pregnant in February, recently went for a checkup to make sure she was in stable condition. She was told by her doctor that everything was going well, before being prescribed with medicine to prevent miscarriage.

However, the woman started bleeding a day after consuming what was prescribed to her

According to Oriental Daily, she was immediately sent to a different hospital – where she was told that she had a miscarriage.The woman was found to have taken Mifepristone tablets, which are used to cause an abortion during the early stages of a pregnancy.

The Mifepristone pack prescribed to the woman.

Upon investigation, the woman's doctor was found to have prescribed her the tablets by mistake

Sin Chew Daily reported that while the woman's doctor admitted fault on her part, she claimed that she did not prescribe the tablets on purpose. "It was just a typo, I didn't mean to prescribe that to you," the doctor reportedly said to the 31-year-old.

The doctor in question.

While the doctor has agreed to pay RMB10,000 (approximately RM6,040) in damages, the payment has been rejected by the victim and her family. The matter is currently under investigation by the hospital.

[VIDEO] How To Tie A Saree In Less Than 5 Minutes

Traditional costumes are amazing and admit it, be it kebaya, baju Melayu, cheongsam, or saree, it is that one outfit that would instantly make us look great!
The only tricky part for the Indian costume, saree, is that, it comes in the form of a long, unstitched material.

So, we decided to put together this fuss-free, quick guide to tying a saree and here are some great tips to remember as you learn the centuries-old art of draping!

1. Make sure your petticoat is tight

Image via SAYS YouTube

Get a petticoat that stops right at your ankle and make a tight knot at the waistband.

2. When pleating both the pallu and the midsection part, ensure that it looks neat and the pleats are of the same width

Image via SAYS YouTube

Pallu refers to the end of the saree that is pleated and set on the left shoulder.An easy way to recognize the part of the saree that you start draping with by tucking into your waistband, is usually the end with lesser prints compared to the end of the saree that makes your pallu. It might take a while to get the pleats neat, so trying it out a few times before actually tying your saree would help. Also, remember this trick; secure the midsection pleats with a safety pin after tucking it in, so that it stays in place for as long as you need it to be.

3. Don't underestimate the power of safety pins!

Image via SAYSYouTube

Use good quality safety pins and make sure you fasten your pallu on your saree blouse to avoid it from coming undone.

Now, watch our easy saree-tying video and good luck with rocking the saree look!

×

P.S.: When buying saree, go for the kind of material that you'd be comfortable in. To not melt in your sarees in the Malaysian weather, we suggest Georgette, crepe, chiffon or the light and airy cotton sarees!

If you are done mastering the art of tying saree, how about trying out some cool local lingos next?

Curi Produk Kosmetik Sorok Dalam Coli, 4 Gadis Ini Kantoi Dirakam CCTV

Beberapa rakaman CCTV yang memaparkan 4 orang gadis sedang mencuri dengan menyorokkan barangan curi ke dalam coli di sebuah butik, tersebar luas di laman Facebook sejak semalam

Rakaman tersebut telah dimuat naik oleh seorang pengguna Facebook, Ali Imran dan sehingga kini telah menerima sebanyak lebih 10 ribu shares dan lebih 700 ribu tontonan.

Image via Ali Imran/Facebook

Kejadian tersebut dilaporkan berlaku di Butik Blackcube Rich Parit Raja, Batu Pahat Johor dan jumlah kerugian kosmetik dianggarkan sebanyak RM1,000 hingga RM2,000.

Image via Ali Imran/Facebook

Terdapat tiga orang staf yang sedang bertugas sewaktu kejadian. Bagaimanapun, aktiviti tidak bermoral tersebut tidak dapat dikesan kerana masing-masing sedang sibuk melakukan kerja masing-masing.

Sewaktu kejadian seorang staf sedang dalam waktu rehat, manakala seorang lagi sedang membetulkan printer butik tersebut. Jadi tinggal hanya seorang staf saja yang bertugas. Suspek dilaporkan datang berempat dan tiga daripada mereka telah memasuki butik tersebut untuk mencuri. Manakala seorang lagi sedang cuba mengalih pandangan staf yang sedang bertugas tersebut.

Image via Ali Imran/Facebook

Sesetengah netizen menganggap mereka bukan warganegara Malaysia dan mungkin berasal dari negara jiran, Indonesia. Namun, salah seorang netizen telah mengesahkan mereka sememangnya warganegara Malaysia dan telah pun ditangkap semalam.

Image via Ali Imran/Facebook

Suspek dikatakan cepat-cepat beredar dari butik tersebut setelah mencuri beberapa barangan kosmetik dan mereka dikatakan sempat mengambil selfie bersama-sama

Image via Ali Imran/Facebook

Bagaimanapun, laporan Sinar Online semalam memberitahu keempat-empat suspek sudah dikenal pasti dan siasatan awal mendapati mereka bersaudara

Orang Asli Women In Hulu Perak Are Allegedly Being Forced To Take Birth Control Shots

On Tuesday, 9 July, women from the Temiar ethnic tribe in Hulu Perak came forward with claims of birth control medication being forced upon them

Image via Azneal ishak/Malaysiakini

Malay Mail reported that the women, who come from several villages in Gerik, Hulu Perak, had presented a memorandum of understanding (MOU) detailing their plight during yesterday's Parliament session.The memorandum also highlighted other matters, such as illegal logging and forced conversion to Islam.

The women claimed that the forced birth control shots left them with severe side effects, lasting both short and long term

One of the women, Sanorah, who spoke to Malay Mail said the medication came in liquid form and all women of child-bearing age were subjected to it.Sanorah had received a shot five years ago and it left her body feeling painful all over.

"I was more or less forced to take the injection. Shortly after that, I became pregnant with my fourth child. When he was born, his right hand was not fully formed. I think it could be due to the medicine they made us take," she shared.Another woman said that, after she had received her shot, her body felt heavy whenever she woke up over the next few days.

During the presentation of the memorandum, a representative for the five Orang Asli villages urged the government to stop providing birth control pills without clear explanations

"We are against hospitals providing birth control pills to Orang Asli mothers. They did say that they were (family) planning pills but did not provide details. The Orang Asli community wants this to stop," said Anjang Aluej, reported Malaysiakini.

Meanwhile, Centre of Orang Asli Concerns coordinator Colin Nicholas said he believes the issue stems from unclear communication

"The women do not like it because they do not seem to have a choice, and some complain of the side effects from the medication," he told Malay Mail.Colin added that the provision of contraceptives has been in place since the 1980s, during Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's first administration, with the aim of reaching a population of 70 million.

Image via Hari Anggara/Malay Mail

"At the time, it was also to increase the Bumiputera population, for the Malays in particular. At the same time, part of the policy also involved birth control among the Orang Asli," Colin added."The problem is that the Orang Asli were given the family planning and birth control medication without providing them with full knowledge and information," he explained, adding that some communities were now better informed of their rights.

Andrew Tate Nabbed For Human Trafficking After His Video To Greta Allegedly Tipped Police

Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, and Telegram for the latest stories and breaking news.

One of the most notorious figures on the Internet who is banned by multiple social media platforms for hate speech, Andrew Tate, has been arrested in Romania

The controversial online influencer and self-described misogynist, who passionately promotes hyper-masculinity ideologies, was arrested on charges of human trafficking, rape, and forming an organised crime group, reported Reuters.Prosecutors from the local anti-organised crime unit arrested him, his brother Tristan, and two Romanian suspects after raiding their properties in Bucharest.The Romanian police have been investigating the Tate brothers since April. Their lawyers have since confirmed their arrest."The four suspects... appear to have created an organised crime group with the purpose of recruiting, housing, and exploiting women by forcing them to create pornographic content meant to be seen on specialised websites for a cost," prosecutors said."They would have gained important sums of money."

It is understood that local authorities found six women who had been sexually exploited by the Tate brothers

In the past, Andrew had said women are partially responsible for being raped and that they belong to men.He, who is also a former kickboxer, also had said he would rather let a "fat dude" die, as he would not perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on him but only on a hot woman.He is known for propagating toxic masculinity ideologies, as he once said, "The masculine perspective you have to understand that life is war. It's a war for the female you want [...] Masculine life is war [...] Society's expectations of men is much higher than the societal expectations of females."Andrew's source of income is said to be social media endorsements and a Webcam ring he ran with his 'girlfriends', which has a business model similar to those in the adult entertainment industry.He claimed to have made his first million dollars when he was 27 years old, and recently became a "trillionaire".

Image via The Guardian

Following the Tate brothers' arrest, Romanian media reported that the raids were carried out because prosecutors wanted to make sure they were in the country

Many netizens claimed that Andrew gave away his location when he uploaded a video response to 19-year-old environmental activist Greta Thunberg.In the two-minute rant, two boxes of pizza can be seen in front of Andrew, leading many to believe that the pizza brand that only operates in Romania gave local police a confirmation about Andrew and Tristan's location.

Thank you for confirming via your email address that you have a small penis @GretaThunberg The world was curious. And I do agree you should get a life  https://t.co/mHmiKHjDGH pic.twitter.com/SMisajQRcf— Andrew Tate (@Cobratate) December 28, 2022

The public feud on Twitter started when Andrew provoked Thunberg by showing off his list of carbon-emitting vehicles, which includes 33 supercars such as Bugatti and Ferrari.In response, Thunberg invited Andrew to send the complete list to "[email protected]".The Swedish activist's tweet spurred up a drama that the Internet did not ask for at the end of 2022, causing her and Andrew's names to trend globally on Twitter yesterday, 29 December.Now, the Internet is celebrating the Tate brothers' arrest because netizens believe he brought it on himself and his brother.Some, however, have pointed out that the "pizza box theory" is simply not true because Andrew had, on 25 December, said he was in Romania.

Literally this meme pic.twitter.com/8ejZ4NCE5H— Malforian (@Malforian) December 29, 2022

I would like to thank Elon Musk for letting Andrew Tate back on Twitter so he could get owned so badly by a 19 year old girl that he inadvertently self doxed him & his brother's location for the Romanian authorities leading to his arrest. pic.twitter.com/BLmOGJ2i5K— ChudsOfTikTok (@ChudsOfTikTok) December 29, 2022

[VIDEO] AirAsia Steward Makes ‘Teh Tarik’ For Everyone Who Ordered The Drink Onboard

There’s just something really cool about seeing people make teh tarik right in front of you

Image via Flash-in-a-pan

It could be that the ‘tarik-ing’ action actually requires amazing hand-eye coordination or maybe it’s the fact that we know the whole routine will make a perfectly thick layer of froth that's sooo good! P.S.: The guy in the GIF here isn't the AirAsia steward but OMG just look at his mad skills!

On a flight from Lombok to KL last weekend, an AirAsia cabin crew gave his passengers a ‘sweet treat’ for everyone who ordered teh tarik

He made teh tarik for them, 30,000 feet above ground!

Image via Kaepanic/YouTube

“This cabin crew talked about teh tarik over the intercom and promised that he would “tarik” it in front of the passengers who ordered the drink, and he actually did!” said a passenger in the Backpackers Buddies Malaysia (BBM) Facebook group.

According to a passenger, he was doing such a great job promoting the teh tarik that "at least two people in every row ordered the drink"

Image via Pavan Avadiar/Facebook

“Special VIP treatment by an excellent staff. I got myself a teh tarik in flight at 30,000 feet above ground”, said passenger, Pavan Avadiar, on Facebook.

WATCH the skilful steward in action!

×

We wish we were there to see this live in action! Maybe next time, he'll be able to tarik two to three cups at once?

Apparently, this isn't the first time the steward has showed his teh tarik skills on a flight

According to a few social media users in the Backpackers Buddies Malaysia (BBM) Facebook group, he's done the same on a flight to Solo, Indonesia and another said he made teh tarik on the way to Shenzen, China, too.

Well done, cabin crew!
What's a teh tarik story without ending it with a classic ol' meme like this, right? :P

A recent video that originated from TikTok has went viral on Twitter for all the wrong reasons. Sparking outrage and thousands of replies, the video shows a child extending her middle fingers to a food stall vendor.

Image via Twitter

As the child behaves inappropriately, the video proceeds to pan to the crowd behind, where spectators can be seen laughing and looking quite amused by her antics. To add insult to injury, the woman who picks up the child and carries her away (presumably her mother or guardian), is smiling throughout the video as well.The video has since been deleted from TikTok.

Image via Twitter

While the incident had allegedly happened in Indonesia, the video made its way to the Malaysian Twitter-verse, setting the responses on fire

Netizens were enraged by the child's behaviour, and commented under the post to express their anger and frustration towards the situation. A large majority of the comments were directed towards the parents of the child, with people condemning the mother, and the crowd, for 'encouraging', and 'normalising' this behaviour.

Image via Twitter

Some Twitter users specifically called out the laughing.One user stated "When the others laugh, the child will continue to do it. Don't laugh if a child is doing something wrong, if not, they won't learn to understand that they're behaving badly."Another user went as far as to say that the child is merely a reflection of her parents.

Image via Twitter

"The parents aren't strict, and can laugh at her behaviour, do they think it's funny?" said one responder.

Image via Twitter

Another even stated, "Pity the child, because she's definitely copying something someone else did to her."

Image via Twitter

Ultimately, the takeaway lesson to parents was simple: teach children better

One Twitter user poured out a descriptive statement, ultimately saying, "I hope they advise [the child] on her actions. Maybe they didn't intend to teach her that, but she just followed what she has seen in the past."

“The committee will make its own evaluation, including suggestions to improve the examination board, how to keep the questions classified and safe, and we will consider the process like with SPM papers, which are printed in the UK,” he told reporters after nominations closed for a by-election in the Kelantan state seat of Pengkalan Kubor here.

This New Budgeting App Automatically Tracks Your Spending So You Can Save More Money

While most of us know how important it is to save and keep track of our spending, it's often easier said than done

If you've tried using budgeting tools or expenditure apps, you'll understand the struggle of having to manually key in every single time you spend, save, or invest. It's extremely tedious, and can be inaccurate if you forget to log certain spendings. That's where HeyAlfred comes in.

HeyAlfred is a free-to-use app that helps you keep track of your budget and provides financial insights into your spending habits

Image via HeyAlfred

On HeyAlfred, you'll get to see a full breakdown of your monthly spending without any manual input. Instead, the app will read the transaction data history directly from your internet banking and categorise them into more than 50 different spending categories.Currently, the app supports three local banks - Maybank, RHB, and CIMB, with more banks and e-wallets soon to be integrated on the platform. You can even sync your investment portfolios such as unit trusts, trading accounts, and cryptocurrency wallets, so you can see a consolidated view of all your finances.

One of the cool features of HeyAlfred is the built-in AI chatbot, 'Alfie', which provides suggestions on how to manage your finances

Image via HeyAlfred

By naming the app after the butler of Batman, the team behind HeyAlfred wanted to create a personal financial assistant that was just as loyal and helpful as the famous fictional character.Dubbed as the 'SIRI for your money', Alfie is an AI chatbot that analyses your transactional data and communicates it back to you in friendly chat form. You can ask Alfie your bank balance on a specific day or how much you've spent the past month. It's even programmed to become fluent in the language of gifs, emojis, and even Manglish.

HeyAlfred is a secure to use, read-only app - this means no money can be moved through the app itself

Image via HeyAlfred

HeyAlfred connects to your phone in read-only mode, so no transactions can be done, only observation. In fact, the app won't even know whose account it is viewing.With growing concerns on data privacy, HeyAlfred adheres to strict industry encryption standards, similar to what is practised in banks worldwide. The app also never stores your login or your password, and you can opt out at any time.

Find out more about HeyAlfred and how it can help you manage your finances better

This Guy Working At A Petrol Station Is The Inspiration You Need If You Hate Your Job

Meet Suhaimi. He's the superstar Shell employee that has gone viral on social media.

Image via Iqhmal Pico

Facebook user Iqhmal Pico recently took to the social media platform to share about his encounter with Suhaimi and to tell people why he respects this man so much.  "Every time after serving a customer at the petrol pumps, he would run towards another customer to serve them. I repeat, he would run towards other customers...," Iqhmal wrote.You see, Suhaimi is very enthusiastic about his job as an attendant at the petrol station nearby the Nilai Square Commercial Centre in Negeri Sembilan, and he would do his very best every day.

When asked why he's not looking for another job, Suhaimi said that this is his rezeki

He told Iqhmal that this is the only thing that he knows how to do. And as many have seen, he does it well wholeheartedly."This brother proves that every job can be noble. Regardless of the type of occupation, or the salary or returns of the job, as long as a person is trustworthy, dedicated, and hardworking, then surely people will respect that individual. Other people would even look up to such persons," Iqhmal said."A good seed sown in the ground becomes a mountain. When thrown in the sea becomes an island," he added.

Many people have talked about Suhaimi on social media in recent years, even before Iqhmal's post on him went viral

Image via Belia Prihatin Nilai

Early last year, Facebook community page Belia Prihatin shared an image of Suhaimi assisting a driver at the petrol pump, with a caption that talks about how friendly and proactive he was. At that time, not many people were aware of Suhaimi yet (they even got his name wrong initially!) but he was starting to gain attention from local netizens and the people in Nilai.

However, Suhaimi is no stranger to the local community in Nilai nowadays. People are starting to recognise him and have sung praises about this friendly man.

Many people noted that his bubbly personality was contagious and they loved to see him in action at work. "I know this person. He's really good and hardworking. I really respect Abang Suhaimi," read a comment on Facebook. Another user named 'Kak Leha' said that she would visit the Nilai shell station to fill up her car's petrol tank whenever she makes her way back to Kuala Lumpur from Nilai. Kak Leha, who used to stay in Nilai for two years until she moved to Kajang recently, said that Suhaimi has stayed the same and maintained his good attitude and enthusiasm.   "Very talkative and friendly. Congratulations, brother. You are a good worker. Your boss is fortunate to have a worker like you," she wrote.

Great job, Suhaimi! Keep inspiring people with your great attitude :)

WhatsApp's New Update Just Made It Easier To See Who's Ignoring Your Messages

If you're one of those people who constantly check the ticks on your WhatsApp messages, this could be music to your ears!

WhatsApp has added a new feature, which allows people to see the blue and grey ticks on the chat page, without clicking into individual threads

Added feature on whatsapp just to remind you that you've been blue ticked even more  pic.twitter.com/wF4bFjigol— Not your bae (@DeeDeeFlora) February 29, 2016

That means those ticks, which indicate whether or not a message has been received and read, all be viewed at once in the chat list. The update is found in the latest version of WhatsApp.

Previously, users would have to click into a message to check what its status was through a series of ticks

                Have You Noticed The Blue Checks On Your WhatsApp Messages?

We unravel the mystery of the "blue ticks".

Read the full story

WhatsApp communicates whether a message has been read through a series of ticks: one means that the message has sent, two grey ones mean that it’s arrived on the recipient’s phone, and two blue ticks means that the recipient has read it.

        independent.co.uk

Of course, if users have already turned off the read receipts, only the grey ticks will show

If you've always wanted to turn off the read receipts, here's how:

The Star Mohon Maaf Jadikan Gambar Solat Sebagai Muka Depan Bersama Berita Pengganas

"Kami minta maaf"
28 Meli lalu, akhbar The Star memohon maaf atas penggunaan muka depan akhbar itu yang memaparkan gambar umat Islam sedang bersolat di bawah tajuk berita gempar berkaitan pengganas

Image via New Straits Time

Menurut Bernama, Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Dalam Negeri (KDN), Datuk Seri Alwi Ibrahim berkata pihaknya kecewa dengan akhbar terbabit yang memaparkan gambar umat Islam menunaikan solat Terawih pada malam pertama Ramadan, namun tajuk muka depannya tertulis 'Malaysian Terrorist Leader'.Alwi berkata tindakan akhbar itu sangat mengecewakan memandangkan KDN telah memanggil pengurusan akhbar terbabit pada 23 Mei lepas untuk memberikan garis panduan mengenai penerbitan yang sepatutnya dikeluarkan.

Permohonan maaf telah dibuat akhbar itu dan The Star berkata adalah menjadi amalan akhbar itu menerbitkan gambar umat Islam menunaikan solat Tarawih di muka depan pada hari pertama Ramadan, bagi menghormati bulan mulia ini

“Merujuk kepada muka depan akhbar The Star pada Sabtu, 27 Mei lalu, kami ingin menjelaskan bahawa sudah menjadi satu amalan di sini untuk menghormati hari pertama Ramadhan dan meletakkan gambar orang ramai mengerjakan solat terawih di muka depan akhbar.“Bagaimanapun, muka depan akhbar tahun ini menjadi isu apabila tajuk utamanya berkaitan dengan ketua pengganas serta gambar umat Islam sedang mengerja solat terawih.“Ini menyebabkan ramai yang tersalah anggap dengan perkara tersebut namun ingin ditegaskan bahawa perkara ini bukanlah dilakukan dengan sengaja,” kata The Star dalam laman webnya.

Berikutan perkara tersebut menjadi viral, Ketua Pemuda Umno Pahang, Shahar Abdullah menggesa The Star segera meminta maaf kepada seluruh umat Islam

Katanya, walaupun tajuk berita tiada kena mengena dengan gambar, namun ia seolah-olah merujuk orang Islam sebagai pengganas dengan meletakkan kedua-dua berita dan gambar tersebut di muka depan akhbar.The Star sebagai salah satu akhbar 'senior' berbahasa Inggeris utama di Malaysia sepatutnya lebih peka dengan sensitiviti di negara ini yang majoriti rakyatnya beragama Islam lebih-lebih lagi dengan banyak insiden keganasan yang terjadi di luar negara kini," katanya.Sumber: Malaysia Kini, Sinar Online

Xiaomi is obsessed with Apple. On 27 July, it took its obsession to next level by announcing it's Mi Notebook Air, which is its first-ever laptop. In terms of looks, anyone can mistake it for MacBook Air:

Just like in two colours, it comes in two varieties: a 12.5-inch model and a 13.3-inch model, which is more powerful of the two models

However, unlike Apple's MacBooks, the aluminium-bodied Mi Notebook Air is without an exterior logo, giving it an ultra clean look

Keeping with Xiaomi's tradition, the Mi Notebook Air, while displaying a stylish look and impressive specs, looks solid for the price. Actually, at 4,999 Yuan (RM3,042) for the 13.3-inch model, and 3,499 Yuan (RM2,129) for the 12.5-inch model, it's a steal!

The 13.3-inch version of the Mi Notebook Air comes with an NVIDIA GeForce 940MX dedicated GPU with 1GB GDDR5 RAM, making for an enhanced gaming experience. In addition, it also has 256GB PCIe solid-state drive (SSD) based storage with an additional free SSD slot for storage expansion.Other key hardware specifications features include Intel Core i5 CPU (up to 2.7GHz), 8GB of DDR4 RAM and Wi-Fi 802.11ac. The company claims that the laptop's 40Wh battery lasts 9.5 hours on a single charge and recharges up to 50% in 30 minutes.

CNET's Aloysius Low reports that while the flex of the Mi Notebook Air at the keyboard could be better, as it doesn't feel as solid as the Apple MacBook Air, the Mi Notebook Air's keyboard feels great to type on and the keys have just the right amount of clickiness
