Canon Powershot A590IS

I bought a Canon Powershot A590IS at RM299 from Mutiara Damansara Courts Mammoth Megastore. I've wanted to get this camera for a long time ever since i lost my Pentax as i wanted a cheap camera that's able to take quality shots with manual controls. I almost gave up since most shops don't carry this model anymore. On the night before i was supposed to get a Pana Lumix TZ7 at a camera fair held in BB Plaza (my friend got a Pana FZ35 there), i saw Courts Mammoth advertisement in the newspapers so I knew I had to get it :D

Unfortunately it didn't come bundled with other accessories so i had to buy them separately myself. I bought a screen protector at RM10 & 4GB SD Card (C-Zone in Lowyat Plaza) at RM42.

I'm planning to get Maha PowerEx C204W + Imedion 2100mAh AA Batteries (4pcs) at RM150 & a Deuter Camera Case S at around RM33.

So total damage would be around RM534 for a decent budget camera :)

Funding my Zecco Account

I just funded my Zecco account yesterday and i got an email from them that they have received it and I can start trading the following day! YES! That was fast, I mean i thought it'd take more than a week for it to process. However on the bad side, US stock went up yesterday. Not good for me but atleast I can start trading stocks soon. In addition to the RM10 charge from M2u TT, it seems my account balance in zecco is USD21 short! I haven't started to trade and I've already lost so much!

I found this website useful to register for a Zecco trading account.


I had to refer to this site to gain access to the trading center as i didn't know the trading key. Who would have thought that the trading key is actually 999+(last 4 digits of your trading account number) for non US residents. GOSH!
