The Mall Flea Market

Its been a while since I update my Flea Market list. They're few Flea Market in KL that I have not share in my blog before, one of them is The Mall Flea Market. The Mall is a shopping mall beside PWTC (Putra World Trade Center). I had been receiving information about this flea market for almost a year. The last time I go check this Flea market, I don't find anyone selling coins or banknotes. After a failed coin hunting trip today at Sasana Kijang, I go for lunch in the Mall. On the way back to car park, I found Mr Ng from Summit USJ Flea Market. he don't remember me but his printed Malaysia Banknote sheet will make me remember him forever.

Mr. Ng told me, it has been a year since he change his location to The Mall. Last time the flea market only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. They start to open everyday since the last 2 months. The Flea market start a bit late, around 11 am and they're only around 3 sellers who sale coin and banknote. Most of the Sellers in here sell cloth and women accessories. If you had been to Amcorp Mall Flea Market, don't put your expectation too high on this one. I maybe come in there a bit early, most of the sellers still arranging their item for display.

Its not that hard to find the mall Kuala Lumpur, If you're driving, try find Jalan Sultan Ismail signboard and head to PWTC, the mall is beside PWTC. If you're using Star LRT, you can stop at stesen LRT PWTC station. If you're using KTM Komuter, you need to stop at Putra KTM Komuter station. Most people will be heading to The Mall, you can follow them or ask anyone for direction. Its just around 150 meters walk from both the stations to the Mall. The flea market is on the lower ground (LG) level.

Beside Uncle NG, there is another uncle who also selling coins and banknotes. He a little bit shy and I only get to take his picture once. He told me he once open a shop at Jalan Maharajalela. I seen him before some where but don't remember where. His collection is a little bit more then what Uncle Ng have but most of them is in circulated condition. If you're looking for Malaysia Parliament coin series to complete your collection, you can try find him. I am not sure if he got any good collection for sale since he is busy and I don't want to disturb him. Just look at some of the collection he have for sale.

SM City Bacolod Celebrates Christmas in Style!

Nothing’s more remarkable than seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child.  This is how SM City Bacolod presented their 2011 Christmas Centerpiece Launch.  A gigantic gift was displayed at the Northwing Lobby of SM City Bacolod and beside the silver ribbon is a message from Santa Claus saying, “feel the yuletide season like a child again, with pure joy and endless delight…”

The afternoon of November 12 was indeed full of wonder and delight.  Welcoming the yuletide season was the unveiling of this year’s SM City Bacolod’s Christmas Centerpiece. Endowed by the presence of Bacolod City’s dynamic group of government officials were Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson, Councilors Em Ang, Rudy Distrito and Catalino Alisbo with Executive Assistant to the Mayor Mr. Moises De la Cruz.

Adding glitz to the already glamorous afternoon was Bacolod’s pride, Ms. Masskara Queen 2011 Alexis Danica Drilon.  GMA, our Christmas partner, joined in the merriment with former Bb. Pilipinas First Runner Up, Ms. Rich Asuncion.

Guests gathered around the huge gift to witness the unraveling of a glittery Giant Wreath, with no other than Santa Claus himself inside!  The countdown for the ceremonial switch came immediately after the unwrapping of the surprise, setting the sparkle on the centerpiece.

Talented SM Little Stars Regional Winners Mianne Fajardo and Jireh Hinlo with equally talented Little Stars Finalists Katrina Colett and Mark Glenn Segovia displayed their acting skills in the heartwarming presentation called “A Child’s Wish”.   Mianne and Jireh’s Christmas prayer for happiness was passionately prayed in a manner that only a child’s pure heart can articulate.

With this, SM City Bacolod’s launch sends out a message to everyone, let us experience Christmas with the joyous heart of a child.

Review: Mattel Holiday Barbie 2011

 

     Barbie is known worldwide for her glamour, style, and beauty-sometimes it is hard to believe that a doll has achieved such world-wide fame! Each year Mattel comes out with a Special Edition Holiday Barbie and this year Mattel has created one of the most stunning Holiday Barbies ever!

My Review
      I was sent the Holiday Barbie 2011 to review and I just have to say that she is breathtakingly beautiful. From the Chandelier earrings down to her gold open toed high heels this Barbie is like no other! The gown an Emerald Green with glittering golden embroidery features a strapless bodice with a one-shoulder wrap.  Barbie's makeup features sparkly gold eye shadow, dark lipstick and a manicure. Her hair features tumbling golden curls that shimmer and shine in the light. The sophistication this doll exudes is unbelievable. I would not recommend this Barbie for playing because she isn't pivotal and can't hold a pose. This Barbie would be a perfect gift for a Barbie Collector or a little girl wanting to display her on a shelf or somewhere where she could be on display without much handling.

I was sent this product free of charge.

This in no way has affected my opinion of the product or service. This review is my opinion and has been written in my own words.

Malaysia fake notes

A readers asked me, how to do fake malaysia ringgit? If any of you remember, in 2008 there is a news about many Malaysia Bank in Gombak make a police report about a guy who printed fake money put them in Bank cash deposit machine and withdraw it from the same bank ATM. With just cheap printer, scanner, and special liquid, he has been converting fake money with original for few months. Most Malaysian counterfeiters used a high image resolution of the RM50/RM100 notes. If you look in the net, many of these high resolutions notes pictures has been taken down. One of the webmaster has put that Bank Negara Malaysia has email him to remove Malaysia ringgit high resolution pictures from his website.

Picture: Fake malaysia ringgit found by my Facebook friend

Here is the news from Utusan (English translation):

Gombak police chief Assistant Commissioner Abdul Rahim Abdullah said the local criminal has been arrested at his rented house in Desa Jaya. As a result of inspection, the police then managed to find the suspect used a secret lab to print false money in large quantities.

"Most of the computers, scanners and printers be identified used to print banknotes for Malaysia, especially involving RM50 notes.

"The inspection also found the white paper used to produce counterfeit banknotes concerned. In addition, police also found a number of fake money estimated at more than RM14, 800, "he said.

Abdul Rahim said initial investigations revealed that the suspects would use the tactic soak RM50 ringgit real money in a special liquid before the paper has fallen into two front and rear attachments.

"He then would use the separated pure paper money to be affixed on the back or front surface ready to print fake money.

"Money is ready to put false is then dried using a hairdryer, while also using a special rolling mills," he said.

He said the fake money that has two genuine and counterfeit surface is then inserted in the machine failed to detect fraudulent deposit is one of the surface is genuine.

"Once the deposit is received the machine, the suspect will then immediately make a withdrawal via ATM machines nearby. Fraud incidents caused panic to several banks.

"No less than 15 police reports made by the bank fraud involving cunning," he said.

If you want to asked what liquid he is using to do the counterfeit notes, sorry, I will not tell anyone but that same liquid has been used to make "fake error notes". It will only work on the old RM50 notes not the new RM50 merdeka notes.

I had been sharing many news and story about counterfeit ringgit to help people understand how counterfeiters work but many readers still keep on deceived by these counterfeiters. Here are some of the news that I found for Malaysia fake notes:

• Fake 50 ringgit in Desa Setapak
• Student caught using fake RM50
• Two men charged with fake notes possession
• Fake money found on stabbing victim
• Fake money syndicate busted
• Four Africans Detained For Cheating
• African fake money syndicate busted

They're few level of counterfeit money detection; Consumer, Banks and Authority/BNM. In consumer case, you need to feel, look and tilt the banknotes to check if they're original. The easiest one is the banknote watermark and Silver security thread. You can read more about Malaysia Banknote security features in my posts; RM100 note security features and RM50 note security features.

Please Do remember, circulating or using a counterfeits money as a real money is an offence under Malaysia Penal code. Under section 489 (b) Using as genuine forged or counterfeiting currency or banknotes, you can get Imprisonment for 20 years and fine. Under section 489 (c) Possession of forged or counterfeiting currency notes or banknotes, you can get Imprisonment for 10 years and fine.

What must you do if you found a fake Malaysia Ringgit? You can read my post here; What to do if I found fake money.

100 Country Stars n Legends For Easy Ridin'

When Victor Koo of FOYers Bloggers' Group wanted to meet me on the afternoon before National Day (8.8.2011) I thought he wanted to celebrate the occasion together. We did actually and had coffee n cake at a quaint roadside cafe near the Novena Church. But he also brought along a book (image) as a gift. In fact this same gentleman introduced my blog to yesterday.sg and helped establish it somewhat. Thank you very much Victor for your kindness and friendship.

I learnt much reading it and realised how the spurts of information, glossy photographs, sidebars, precious *nuggets about each star and a greatest-hits list make the book mighty informative but easy ridin'. Like reading a great blog on an iPad.

Legends of Country by Liz Mechem and Chris Carroll introduces the CW hit list of pop singers that helped put this genre of "music on the map and keep it there." From Roy Acuff, Bill Carlisle, Defore Bailey, Lefty Frizzell and Hank Thompson (I honestly haven't heard of them before) to familiar ones like Alabama, Chet Atkins, Gene Autry, Johnny Cash, Charlie Daniels, Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, Jim Reeves, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Conway Twitty, Shania Twain and Elvis!

There are 100 mostly known names, all covering 160 pages of pioneers, storytellers and musicians who had, "left their imprint on this unique art form." And like how the Introduction explained, "Country's all about using small stories to represent big themes, and using big themes to illuminate small moments", this huge publication tells a lot.

So much for the **book. Now the authors. Liz Mechem is a freelance writer and editor teaching fiction writing in New York City. Chris Carroll, her husband is a photographer whose work has appeared in many national magazines.

And this ain't no old dusty document! It's 4 years young and published by Dalmatian Press (Dalmatian Publishing Group, Atlanta, Georgia 30329), Copyright 2007. And I'm still browsing through.

*Nuggets: 1. "Barbara Mandrell was known as the Princess of Steel for her prowess on the steel guitar." 2. "Sonny James became the first contry artist in 1971 to record a program for a moon flight." 3. Did you know that Floyd Tillman recorded, G. I. Blues before Elvis in 1941? Ah, but is it the same song? Interesting facts.

**Again, thanks Victor for your present. More book-gift postings for Chun See, Yusnor Ef, Larry Lai, etc. in later weeks.

My Review
Little Luna Blue sent me a Daisy Pig Tee and Fuchsia Rose Ruffle Skirt to review from Lemon Loves Lime Fall 2011 line. This little outfit is absolutely gorgeous! Both the tee and ruffle skirt are made from 100% pima cotton. The tee features a pig design that has been embellished with tassels, crocheted flowers, rhinestones, tulle, and sparkly rhinestones and sequins.  The fuchsia skirt has beautiful contrast stitching in blue, a large rosette and ruffles. Both are machine washable (all of you Mothers can heave a sigh of relief) and beautifully made down to every last detail. The details on the shirt and skirt are unbelievable-the sparkles, soft flowers and ruffles add a lovely feminine touch to the outfit. We have received so many compliments on this little outfit. When my daughter attended her preschool class all of the mothers, teachers, and children gasped at how cute the outfit was! I even heard a few little girls ask their Mothers if they could have a piggie shirt with sparkles and flowers! 

Little Luna Blue would like to offer ONE lucky Cherry Blossoms {The Blog} reader a Lemon and Lime 'Lobster Necklace!'
