    Ringgit Lower Against the US$

    Ringgit Lower Against the US$

    The ringgit was lower against the US dollar Tuesday morning as the greenback bounced back from its lowest level in more than a year, lifted by stronger-than-expected readings on the US economy, dealers said.

    At 9 am(0100gmt), the local unit stood at 4.2810/2850 against the greenback compared with Monday’s close of 4.2760/2800.

    A dealer said the US dollar inched up Monday as US manufacturing and services flash surveys both showed the US economy was performing better-than-expected.

    However, investors remained cautious on developments concerning possible ties between Russia and aides to US President Donald Trump.

    Meanwhile, the ringgit was traded higher against other major currencies.

    It appreciated marginally against the Singapore dollar to 3.1411/1452 from Monday’s 3.1413/1459 and rose against the Japanese yen to 3.8467/8513 from 3.8620/8663 Monday.

    The local unit gained against the British pound to 5.5717/5774 from 5.5750/5815 on Monday and improved against the euro to 4.9814/9877 from 4.9841/9896, Monday.

    NAWEM – Inspire Women in Business

    I was browsing around when I found this website that inspires women in business – NAWEM. You can visit their site at https://www.nawem.org.my/. They have organised several workshops and seminars for business women. Just the other day, I was reading the Straits Times and the government had helped a woman bumi earning from barely $1k per month to making $1 million in revenue every month simply selling babies’ diapers and exporting to Indonesia, Philippines, etc. Even her trip and hotel stay at the first attempt were all paid for! So easy peasy for bumis to get started and connected with the right channels, if only they are willing to work hard and put in effort.

    The learning curve is cut short very much unlike for others who have to slought it out themselves. We may not even have the financial means to do so and even have to learn from trial and error. As it is, I have a booking site that is still not ready even after 2 years of hosting and it has not brought in any business. If only I have a mentor to guide me through how to strike it out on my own on a part time basis, as I have a full time job at home, I would gladly grab the opportunity.

    Now in Quayside

    I am now in Quayside condo to do my laundry of washing my bedsheet, pillow and bolster cases. There is also a machine dryer to dry up the washed items. I packed dinner along which was part of lunch in half portions. Brought along my book and magazine to read while waiting for the laundry to finish. Also am pleased that I got paid USD 70 via my paypal for 7 articles written for a Singapore website of around 1,000 words plus with free pictures included. It is about things to do in Switzerland and is a curated website where you have to do some research for approval. There are dozens of writers on this content rich site, hence I am lucky to be accepted for all my articles written so far.

    Tomorrow is pay day as today is a public holiday and all banks are closed. I took the opportunity to change the bedsheets as my partner has hinted it some days back. Also signed up for some surveys to do in my free time. There is no way to get rich using the quick scheme which cons many people of their hard earned money. Beware of money games, binary systems that predicts whether the stocks will go up or down and promises of software that is automated and correct 70% of the time to help you make money! In fact, it is just the opposite; it helps the owner to make money while you lose money. In stocks, someone will make cash at the expense of another who will lose it instead.

    Nothing beats the old traditional way of studying hard and working hard to save up bit by bit to become rich. How do I know this? Well I read the newspapers and 2 articles were written by different experts with sound advice. They are more practical and teach you the delayed gratification method of getting there while eschewing speculation and gambling. In a nutshell, there is no short cut to success. And don’t get hoodwinked into network marketing or MLM of alkaline water, aromatherapy of Lampe Berger and such. Don’t let greed get the better of you, but use common sense to protect your money from tricksters, conmen, etc.

    Received 1,000 Manis Points

    I am happy to announce that I received 1,000 Manis points for my previous blog post on this amazing free App. From about 5,000+ points or so, it went up to 6,000+ immediately after I emailed back my Manis account name to Carmen. When I checked the rewards, I noticed a new Robinsons’ Marks & Spencer voucher of $10 and promptly redeemed it on the spot as I have purchased from Marks & Spencer before and they have a branch in Gurney Plaza and in Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre. This is my 4th redemption. For each $1 that you spent, you get 1 point.

    We were in Langkawi recently for a project and bought some liquer, chocolates, nuts, etc. We had lobster and requested for butter style, but instead it was fried lobster which was a disappointment. And it cost us RM 20 / 100 gm for supposedly 700 gm, but looks more like 400-500gm in size. Anyway, the meal of almost $200 for 2 to celebrate my friend’s birthday was snapped with the receipt given and it was accepted. You will need bright lights to snap the receipts for a clearer picture and not grainny in the dark. After cropping to appropriate size, it was uploaded to Manis app for approval.

    Above is the snapshot of my iPhone 6 of a successful Manis redemption of the $10 voucher that will arrive in my address in around 10 days time by Pos Laju or registered post. I love this App and I guess I am addicted to snapping receipts both from my own purchase and that of my partner’s to collect points. They also have a Facebook page and you can check it out.

    You can also track your expenditure per month, per week and so on. I just wonder how Manis makes money back from all the given vouchers. Otherwise, it is a Great free app for anyone and you will get 500 points immediately upon successful referral and sign up by your friends.
