Dear Sifu/Experts,

I come across a Volkswagen Golf GTi 2.0 FSI Turbo Mark 5 -05 recently, the mileage is low, it is below 30K

Here's the link for reference, http://www.mudah.my/Volkswagen+Golf+GTi+2+...k+5-8393912.htm

Need to get your advice if this is a worth buy? Is the price reasonable? or should go further down?

Some other concern:
1) Is a 5 Years old car will cause a lot of trouble? particular break down, repair...
2) Any bank can offer 9 years scheme for used car?

Let me know if you have any other recommendation for similar type of car. Thanks.

Picture under yellowish lighting

Hi Experts, here is a dummy question: what is your best advice taking pictures under yellowish lighting environment, eg at restuarant?

I wish to remain the environment, but the object tends to be out of the eye-see colour, for instance, green under yellowish light (i presume it looks 70% G, 30% Y from eye) becomes yellowish green (30% G, 70% Y) in the picture; I was using Auto WB mode. If it is WB related, what is your advice on the scale?

Many thanks.

The yellowish Uniphone telephonebooths standing under streetlight had become a symbol of civilization of a township. It has however become a rare scene in the many of the nowadays cities.

Let's share a topic here: are you a public phone card collector? If yes, how many cards do you have? Which country? You are welcome to post a picture of your most favourite card here too.
