Freaky in 2003 But It Got Freakier in Fridays in 2025 💫

OK… confession time 😅 Feeling extremely guilty in 2025 because I’ve only managed to post two blog posts here so far. With the help of Chatgpt, I am being honest, at least I can start to blog more. It seemed that I have a huge writer's block nowadays. As I got older, penning down something random without overthinking is much more difficult. (Please check at the end of the post for a collage video I made for actors in 2003 and 2025) One was to remember, my deceased blogger friend, Twilightman 👉 Here . This post is to review and revisit my teenage years of watching Freaky Friday 2003 (FF03).  So when Disney officially announced Freakier Friday (2025) (FF25) — the long-awaited sequel to Freaky Friday (2003) — my first reaction was: 👉 Wait… is this real, or just another Hollywood nostalgia scam? Yes, a gap of 22 years, having the same cast as a sequel instead of a remake. But beyond the nostalgia, this sequel feels symbolic — especially for Lindsay Lohan . After more than 15 year...

[DISCONTINUED - SCAMMER] Manis - Earn Points from Your Used Receipt/Bill




Since last year, I came across the Manis apps, which could be used to earn points from the used receipt/ bill. As can be seen, the Manis apps developer gives clear instruction on how to snap the pictures of your receipts. However, early this year, they changed the rule of 24 hour time frame to within the same day (before midnight) ........ This was totally inconvenient to me (and to other users too)......After a busy day, I usually take a bath and sleep. This rule is a big NONO to me. 



Basically, when you sign up, you will be given free 500 points, and as a recruiter, you will earn 500 points per snapper as shown above. As mentioned, you need to submit your photos before midnight, and max 500 points per receipts with max 2 receipts per outlet, in a day. 


So far, I managed to redeem a RM 20 Tesco voucher, but the redemption process was time-consuming and cumbersome. I need to redeem the gift from the apps, and them email them the details for processing. This part was quite frustrating for me. Furthermore, last time, they did have very attractive gifts such as McDonald, KFC, pizzahut, giant, Aeon big and Tesco vouchers. But after the apps update, here are their so-called gifts:


I was glad that they diversified the gifts, but it was unwise to totally removed all the food and shopping vouchers. I really don't mind to donate my points for a good cause, but sometime, I also hope to reward myself and my family with food voucher/ shopping voucher for our hardwork in snapping the receipts and bills. 

Anyhow, personally, I still feel that the Manis app is user-friendly and a lot faster compared to last time. However, the new time rule and the new choices of gifts were very disappointing. My mom said that after the next redemption, she would most probably stop using the apps, because of the unattractive gifts. Oh well, as for me, I shall see. Meantime, if you are interested to try out the apps, please do use my reference code:
