Yeah, https://discussions.apple.com/message/28376371#28376371 showed me 
https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT204054 that said:

"My battery will not charge to 100%

Occasionally, the battery may not show a full charge (100%) in OS X, 
even after the power adapter has been connected for an extended period 
of time. The battery may appear to stop charging between 93 percent and 
99 percent. This behavior is normal and will help to prolong the overall 
life of the battery..."

Since it is by design, I am not going to worry about it then. Thanks all! :)
