Buying Playstation 4: Online shopping experience

-
In the last post, I am a Defector: Xbox 360 to Playstation 4, I talk on why I bought Playstation 4 as my new gaming console. Now, I would like to share my story on this transition process.

First of all, as an owner of Xbox 360, it is normal for me to get rid of my Xbox 360. One of my friend told me to keep that console as a memory. I have different idea about it. Rather than keeping my Xbox 360, I prefer to sell it and use that money to buy a new Playstation 4. So instead of paying RM1400 for a new PS4 console, with my Xbox 360 money, I only need to pay half the price. 

Mudah.my is my choice of web page to advertise my Xbox, and I got it sold less than 6 hours after I posted the ad.

With that money I had, I google around the net to find the best deal for a Playstation 4 console. Malaysia set with Sony Malaysia warranty set of Playstation would cost me RM1799+. If I bought Japan set, it will cost me RM1300+. Cheaper than Malaysia set. However, Japan set will not be cover with warranty. A risk taker would love that, but it was a No for me. 

Lazada.com.my is one place that offer a variety of Playstation 4 with different prices. But almost all Playstation 4 would cost RM1500+ above for those with warranty. 

Lelong.com.my is another place that I looked up. The first few pages display almost the same price of Playstation 4 as what Lazada offered. But when I click enough to the next page, I found a few dealer that sell Playstation 4 for Rm1300 and it includes SEA warranty. 

For your information, SEA warranty means the PS4 will be covered all around South East Asia region including Malaysia, excluding Vietnam. It was much better than buying a Malaysian set. If I want to travel to Thailand, for example, I can get my PS4 covered by SONY Thailand. If you bought Malaysian set, you would only be covered in Malaysia. 

Buying from Lelong need a a little bit of courage and luck. Luckily I found my regular seller selling Playstation 4 for RM1300 and he offer free delivery via PosLaju e-parcel. I chose that. 

Initially I am a bit nervous because I do not know what is e-parcel and it's a cheap way to sent your parcel, usually cheaper shipping, equals bad shipping. 

Second luck, It was not that bad. My parcel arrive at my doorstep after 4 days. Niee. 

My Playstation 4 arrive after 4 days from Shah Alam to Kota Kinabalu via PosLaju e-parcel.

Becoming a medical officer in Malaysia: Are you still a real doctor?

-
To recap from my previous post, a person must completed 5-6 years study in medical school, pass their professional exam, enter 2 years house officer training program, pass their exam and completed their logbooks, then a person can now be called a fully registered Medical Officer / Medical Doctor. A Journey of a Junior Medical Officer After 7 or 8 years experience, a house officer will be given a full registration under Malaysian Medical Council. This registration process is a lengthy process which takes up months before it will be completed. Most doctors will apply for full registration 4 months before they finish their house officer training program. The registration will be processed only if all the criteria has been fulfilled by the house officer which includes log book, review by a board of specialist, no disciplinary action recorded, and other paper work stuff that need to be settled. A full registration means that the doctor now can practice as a doctor independently. They ca

What Went Wrong With Malaysia Vaccination Program?

-
Even though it was obvious but no one dare to admit that Malaysia's vaccination program has so many flaws that make it look like a joke. Every where in the world, COVID-19 was still causing outbreak from time to time but they were already planning an exit strategy. Here in Malaysia, we are still in 2020 phase. We are still in the middle of the pandemic, and not the end of it. Not only Malaysia, but almost all South East Asian country excluding Singapore were doing work at a speed of snail. Slow, unsteady and full of bureaucracy.  The talk of vaccinating the whole world started since last year. Some countries started to vaccinate their citizen as early as October 2020. By the end of 2020, vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic.  In Malaysia, the talk of bringing in the vaccine into this county, sound like a mega plan bigger than sending our citizen to Mars. It was hype! We were so hopeful. For the first time, we praised our politician who act like they were in charge and they w
