Just Had Dinner

I just had dinner at Chinese Recreation Club and it was rather filling. I ordered crab meat stir fried with eggs and wrapped in Lettuce. Also had claypot chicken with salted fish and broccoli with scallops. The bill came to about $100 plus or so. Bear in mind that I don't always dine this well every day, but only once in a blue moon. As we are members of CRC, we come here often to check on the internet and emails and also to moonlight earning some revenue at every opportunity.

Money in Alert Pay

I have some cash in my AlertPay account for completing micro jobs online. Just yesterday, I ordered my AlertPay debit card for USD 20.00 plus or so which I will receive in 2 months time at the latest for countries outside USA. I had to scan my latest bill statement and my IC to email them for the confirmation. In the meantime, I will continue with the micro jobs so that the earnings will accummulate for withdrawal every month. 'Sedikit sedikit lama lama jadi bukit." The idiom means a bit at a time and it will become a hill. So, I am expecting my AlertPay debit card for ATM withdrawal of my US cash in May 2012 at the latest.

Moving Out

The Author of this post is Kory Dotson

I am moving next month, and have been overwhelmed trying to get everything together. Moving is so much work, and I haven’t done it in such a long time that I almost forgot. I sprung for movers this time so I wouldn’t have to do all the packing and moving myself, but there are still so many things to do. I didn’t want to move, but the owner of the house I’m renting is selling it, so I have no choice. I wish I had enough money to buy the house, because it is wonderful. The area is fun, and the house is in great condition. I have been renting it at a steal for a few years now. I already found another place to live, but it’s not nearly as nice, and it’s more expensive. I am trying to make myself feel better by looking for DIRECTV Special Packages and treating myself to one, but I don’t know if that will help. Maybe after a few months passes I will start to live my new place as much as I love this one.

Feeling So Sleepy

Now is quarter to eight in the morning but I am still feeling so sleepy. Perhaps it is due to the fast that I slept quite late last night, past midnight, as I was glued to a magazine - Personal Money that I bought yesterday. I conclude that this could also due to the fact that I work in a home office, so I tend to wake up later than usual and nap in between work. I hope my comfortable work in a home does not make me slothful and unmotivated. But with financial rewards, who can resist?

Wine Gift Baskets

Do you know that Jesus turned water into the best quality wine at a marriage feast in Canna? The guests had the best wine in years to come and they enjoyed their merry-making. Wine also has resveratrol which is a powerful anti-oxidant that helps to prevent cancer. Moreover, the slight alcohol content in wine aids in removing bad cholesterol and unclog the arteries. Hence, it helps prevent heart disease and is beneficial to the heart. You can check out Wine Gift Baskets if you are looking for a bottle of wine or more that is carefully packed in a basket for your family or friends.

Wine is usually drunk during commemorative and celebrative occasions like a wedding feast, graduation, promotion, Oscars gala night and any other form to 'yam seng' or 'bottoms up' with fellow friends, family and colleagues at a round dinner table. It is a form of social get together where loved ones and friends have a good chat after dinner and drink wine to wash all the food down.

My uncle who is a physician in Singapore used to drink a glass of wine every day until today and he still plays 18-hole golf every Sunday. He is now 95 years of age, still very healthy and able to walk long distances unaided.

Going to Kedah

This morning, I will be following my colleague to Kedah to meet up with a potential client for some projects. I was still slumbering away under my duvet in the air con room when I received the call to resend email to another client. So much for not keep track of emails! And he's supposed to be a bursar. All my emails are sent via gmail which is a very good email software, hence I can do a quick search for previously sent out emails.

Roulette Bonus

When I go to Genting Highlands with the biggest hotel of over 6,000 rooms in the world on a mountain top, I will always go in to the casinos and watch the punters busy with the games machines hoping to make money. If you play many rounds and are lucky, there will be a roulette bonus for your taking. We all live to make money - as much as we can possible do - so that our retirement will be rosy and golden and not having to beg in the streets like the hobos.
