How to Buy a Diamond Engagement Ring

Ladies n gentlemen….
today… hAM is going to teach u how to pick a Diamond Engagement Ring~~!!!

Yes.. basically ppl say 4C’s about the diamond… wat the hell is this 4C’s??
actually 4C’s is referring to Carat, Colour, Cut & Clarity...

After I hav done several researches & discussions wif my frens (recently i teman a new fren of mine pergi these diamond & jewelryshops to choose her wedding ring toO).. I found out tat there are another 2C’s (Certification & Cost) ned to be consider when u wish to buy a diamond... these 2 C's are also damn important toO..

Ok~ tuan-tuan n puan-puan… leng zai n leng lui.... let’s learn about these 6 C's: Carat Weight, Colour, Cut, Clarity, Certification, & Cost....


Carat Weight: it determines how large and heavy the diamond is... usually, the larger the stone, the more costly it is –this is so simply becoz larger diamonds are found relatively infrequently in nature therefore it is more valuable... the price of diamonds jumps at certain carat weights, e.g. 0.5, 0.89, 1 & etc.. So one trick is to buy just below the "mark", e.g. buy a 0.95 ct instead of a 1 ct diamond... It will look the same but u can save some serious money...

***pls note tat 2 small diamonds will never be worth as much as one big diamond equal in their weight, e.g. a 1 ct diamond costs more than 2 diamonds of 0.5 ct.... so b'careful when a jeweler talks about "total carat weight"...

Below is the chart showing the "Average Standard Size" for the different categories of the Carat Weight diamonds.




Cut : it is the most important criteria.. Cut is the only one of the 4C's that is influenced by the human hand... the rest (color, clarity, carat) are created naturally as diamonds form in the earth…. the proper cut enhances a diamond's capacity to reflect light and makes it sparkle more…. Diamonds that are cut too deep or too shallow lose or leak light through the side or bottom, resulting in less brilliance ultimately & value… (somtimes the biggest diamond is not necessarily the best... a smaller diamond with a better cut will look better and may actually appear larger than a poorly cut diamond of bigger carat weight)... Diamond cutting is the art of changing a diamond from a rough stone into a faceted gem.. it requires great skill and training… generally, a well-cut diamond will internally reflect light from one mirror like face to another and disperse and reflect it through the top of the stone... the GIA Diamond Cut Grading System categories the cutting in 5 grades (excellent, very good, good, fair & poor) to describe the overall cut quality of a standard round brilliant diamond... Btw how to estimate a cut grade? See ur diamond’s certificate lah…





Color: Diamonds come in different colors from perfectly clear to varying shades of yellow (and other colors).... a lettering system from D to Z is used to identify the amount of color present in each diamond, with D awarded only to rare, totally colorless diamonds (Based on GIA Standard).

• Colorless: D, E, F
• Near colorless: G, H, I, J
• Faint yellow or brown: K, L, M
• Very light yellow or brown: N, O, P, Q, R
• Light yellow: S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z

I grap this from website… som ppl say tat only experts can tell apart a D, E, F and most people cannot distinguish between D, E, F, G, H (even I) once the diamond is set in a ring. So the best value on a budget may be selecting H or slightly better. Note: Some say to choose "G/H" or better when the diamond is set in platinum or white metal ring settings. Tiffany (the famous dept. store) starts at "I" or better.


Clarity: This refers to internal imperfections (inclusions) inside a diamond. All diamonds, except for the rare "IF" grade, have flaws (small crystals, cracks, specks, etc.). The clarity scale (GIA) is divided into six primary categories:

• Flawless (F or FL) - no discernable surface blemishes or inclusions visible when viewed at 10x magnification.
• Nearly Flawless (IF) - insignificant surface blemishes and no internal defects visible at 10x magnification,
• Very, Very Slightly included (VVS-1 & VVS-2)- extremely difficult to very difficult to find surface blemishes or minute inclusions at 10x magnification, but can be more readily seen at 10x once located at 20x magnification.
• Very Slightly included (VS-1 & VS-2) - difficult to somewhat easy to find surface blemishes or minor inclusions at 10x magnification.
• Slightly Included (SI-1 & SI-2) - easy to very easy to find surface blemishes or readily noticeable inclusions at 10x magnification.
• Imperfect (I-1, I-2, I-3)- surface blemishes or obvious inclusions are somewhat difficult, easy, or very easy to find with the naked eye, especially after being located with 10x magnification.

Certification: If the diamond doesn't hav a certificate, then u r only relying on the seller's word... u r unable to confirm the color, clarity, cut & etc... "GIA" is the most recommended becoz they are very strict and will not grade diamonds than are not totally natural... GIA (Gemological Institute of America) created the International Diamond Grading System in the 1950's & established the standards that revolutionized the diamond industry. hmmm… u can choose other lab to carry out the ‘investigation’ 1.. but they are more “careless” compare wif GIA.. well… a standard GIA report will show a diamond's color, carat weight, clarity, depth, table, cutlet size & etc. n the most important 1 is it is reliable & trustworthy… aiyoyo.. comparing wif a student came out from Howard University and another from UNITAR… u trust which 1? ofcoz lah Howard University… it is branded~~~!!! =p

Cost: This is totally depends on ur budget…. normally the jewelry industry likes to say the budget is ur " 2 months salaries"~~~!!! but frankly speaking.. that doesn't make any sense de lah…. It is depends on budget n ur financial….


ok.. after we go thru all these 6C's... there r som tips for u b4 u select a ideal diamond...

• try to look for a seller who has been in the buz for a number of years and well knows by the public 1 (so tat wont kena con)...
  

• try not to buy a diamond already in a setting.. u cannot see the color and they almost never has a certificate also...
  

• plan n do more researches before u buy or look for som expect teman u pergi 'hunts' the 'batu' (stone) lah... hey.. this is diamond.. a luxury thing, u think beli sayur-sayuran @ pasar?? must b'careful de mah... take time to comparison shop and learn....
  

• make sure that u compare "apples to apples" (same color, clarity, carats & etc.) when u choosing the diamonds...
  

• negotiate, after several comparison plus walking shop by shop.. i bet u sure hav better understanding wat's the reasonable price for the 'stone' (batu) right?
  

• free ring~~!!! ask them to provide u the free ring~~ hey.. diamond is a farking luxury stuff.. go 'wut' them to giv u a free ring to set ur diamond... =p
  

• hmm.. it depends on u wan the 6 prong ring setting or 4 prong ring setting... Prongs serve to hold the diamond inside the ring.. A diamond has a greater chance of falling out and being lost if a prong breaks in a 4 vs. 6 prong setting... but 4 prong settings also give a round diamond a bit of a square look... so... depends on wat u want lah....

finally, i wish u all the best & get the best diamond for ur money~~!!! n do let me noe if u gonna propose to ur gal~~!!!!!!

no more alternative Saturday off

early of the morning I received this email…


Guys

We are not keeping pace with the number of changes, remeasure, etc on the job. This is mainly due to the huge number of changes and not because we are too slow. The bottom line is we need to catch up quickly otherwise ALEC is at risk of losing a lot of money. For the month of November we are going to have to forget our off Saturdays and work 6 day weeks. We can see how we are going by the end of November then see what we do for December.

Thanks for the effort you guys are putting in , lets step it up a notch now!

Regards


sigh.. upset'inG.....

no more alternative Saturday off for me.... i think I cannot go for the golf lesson anymore..

the different between goals & dreams

goals are dreams with deadlines~~

without a deadline, it's just 'dream' only.. =p

no more 咸鱼'inG~ (hum yu'inG)~

my favorite actor~ Stephen Chow say this in his movie... "a man without dreams is just like a hum yu (salt fish/death fish)"

i hum yu for so long aredi... (after i achieved/accomplish few dreams)...

finally.... i hav set a target for myself… an intermediate-range target/plan…

hmm… it looks like quite difficult.. but it can be very easy to achieve also..
me~~ si-hAM~~ wan to be MANAGER within 5 yrs time~~!!!!

lolz~ 5yrs.. now I baru 26 yrs old… hmm.. wanna be manager be4 31st… sounds like mission impossible… especially for us who working in construction industry (M’sia)… it’s not so easy…

but… I believe I can make it.. just depends on I wan o not… btw.. manager buat wat 1?

I tell u wat… 4 M~~~!!! remember this 4 M, then u can be a very successful Manager…
Meeting, Minum, Makan + Main~~!!!

date to tender resignation

yes… regarding the above header.. any idea bout tat?
for me…. there r few ideal dates.. 3rd of June (0603), 6th of June (0606), 16 of June (0616) or 26th of June (0626)….

lolz~

well… the reason y I wan to resign is….. my tenancy contract will expire in the end of July 2010… so.. I ned to think whether I wan to renew it or not.. If I wan to renew it.. then I hav to work for at least another 8 months for my current company to cover the rental, coz I hav to pay 1 yr rental when I renew the tenancy contract.. n tat cost me around RM40k +- ….

my mate is planning to resign nex yr.. not sure bout the actual date yet.. but most probably is in March to July tat period de lah… if he is going to resign on March then higher possibility for me to resign on June… but if he is going to resign on June toO.. then abit jialat for me lah… suddenly 2 intermediate executive level QS cabut from this Site.. who is going to do the works? (so far we hav 5 QS in this Site, 1 slightly abit senior, 2 intermediate level + 2 juniors).. hmmm.. it sound s like we r ‘zou kao’ our manager aredi… leaving a bad reputation (our M’sian reputation) to others aredi… cabut/resign together at the same time….

hmmm….
8 months.. can allow me earn/ save around 100k (included the graduate bonus + deduct the rental) ...
8 months… such a long period.. takkan I will work alone right here for 8 months right?
tat is not easy for me leh… I tell u wat.. I’m driving alone for 2 weeks sudah make me feel damn tired aredi…. Imagine tat I’m going to drive alone, work alone, stay alone and eat alone for at least 8 months in this fark dup country…. aiks…. I feel nak pensan aredi….

human r herd animals… I mana boleh tahan tat… anyone who like to spend time in solitude in their life? I dun think so right? i noe everyone on this earth like to spend some time in solitude.. but not all the time..

or mayb I really can do tat (work + stay alone here).. but if i choose to stay.. tat’s mean I did choose to be solitude aredi... n I really ned to work in solitude for the nex 8 months (after July)...

so…. the chances tat I’m going to quit on June is the highest… so.. ladies n gentlemen… choose a date for me… my ideal date is 616.. tat 1 sounds damn nice…. If I resign on tat day, serve for 1 month notice, then I stil hav 2 weeks in this farking country.. I stil can accomplish or do something tat I wan to do right here… I dun think I will step into to this country anymore… I dun like here also…

stay… not to stay… july 2010??? March 2011??? aiks… I sudah split personality… better dun think toO much… make decision in May lah… now stil hav long time to go….

earthquake~ different of treatment~~

I stil remember.... 1 yr ago…… I had called my mum to donate some money for the Earthquake in China when I read the news from the internet (I’m working in oversea)…

I think... as a ‘chinese’… we should show some care needs to our race… mana tahu my mum really listened to my advice… n she go tolong organize a charity dinner in our village sommore…. OMG~~ my mum…. Really……. I hav nothing to say… =p

it was published on sin-chew newspaper…. The total donation was RM10,720… within one night… hmmm… it can be considered as a very nice result for a kampong aredi…. good job~~ proud of u~~!!!

But this time… our ‘neighbour’ country experienced an Eartquake… I hav to call my mum~~
"You should NEVER, EVER, TRY to donate a single cent to THEM.... DUN EVEN THINK ABOUT IT~~!!! "

I can be very kind.... n very cruel without pity …. it depends on whom I face…. this is me~~!!!



dang dang dang dang~~ m youngest sister cut it from sinchew newspaper, scanned it n email to me~~

goOd fren's wedding~~

hey buddy~ dun alwyz say "TQ plusss hAM so bei mian... come back from Dubai to attend ur wedding ceremony n bla bla bla.... "

i think i'm the 1 who should say TQ... it is a very nice trip + goOd experience for me... thanks for allow me to share ur happiness... thanks for urs invitation + giving me a chance to be ur ''heng dai'' in ur big-Day~~!! I think I'm the worst among them, the most useless heng dai~~ hahahaha...

btw~~ 1st time heard u singing.... twice within a day sommore~~~ OMG~~ Spak really willing to do anything for his soO~~~ muahahahaha....

hope tat I can c the little Spak nex yr lah... a 'lou fu zai' for Spak family~~~

no sacrifice, no gain....

hey buddy~ STOP complaining & grumble lah~~!!!

I noe u wish to reach the sky in a single bound… but i tell u wat... tat is impossible 1… u hav to sacrifice in order to get ‘something’, no free lunch 1, no such thing….

unless u r farking farking lucky… or mayb ur parents ada manyak wang to let u to do ur own biz or u kena lottery… otherwise.. PLS~~!!! do something lah… dun just stay were u r + keep MARK TIME all the way.. wat the hell r u waiting for?? waiting for the gold drop from the sky??

all gains r made at some sacrifices… usually we say “no pain, no gain” (no sacrifice, no gain)… plan something n try to get the way to achieve it…

so.... dun just keep blaming lah.. buddy.... >.<

hmmmm..... women.........

Question:
If there is a restaurant next to your house, the foods r expensive n tasteless, the cockroaches crawl along the wall… r u going to re-visit or return to tat restaurant againz just becoz it is near & convenient to u??

Answer:
definitely , absolutely, certainly u’ll say “ NO~~~!!!"
"I can go elsewhere.. I won’t be so stupid, I won’t spend money on such idiot restaurant anymnore…”

But somewere, U DO~~~!!!
U really re-visit tat kind of STUPID + IDIOT restaurant even u noe it is sarks~~~!!”

this situation could be applied in ur relationship…
u alwyz complaining about ur bf… he is so irresponsible + reat u badly + sarks + curi makan + alwyz cheating + disloyal…

u noe tat the situation will becom worse in future…. he is hopeless….
HOWEVER, u stil wan to go on, forgive him n continue stick wif him….

It sounds like u stil ‘re-visit’ the idiot restaurant right? even it is expensive, tasteless + dirty~~~

Pls lah… LET GO lah… u r a princess & u deserve to be treated well~~
pls... dump him lar...

I noe u r aging now… doesn’t mean tat u hav to be treated like this…
u noe u r aging now.. tat’s y u hav to make decision quickly…. when u found out tat ur bf treat u badly or not suitable to u.. Dump him~~!!!

sometimes, I wondering y women like to be ‘‘abused’’ by the bad guy…
I alwyz wondered y ladies find it difficult to break their attachment to those who treat them really badly toO….

sigh... I believe this is something to do wif a girls’ self confidence… they might hav lack of self-confidence which leads them to think tat they do not deserve for a better guy therefore they pick the bad 1….

zZzZzzz….

anyway, this is a very sensitive issue to discuss....... i just wish u "all the best" lah... sigh....
