Online Opportunities

I am looking for online opportunities to earn a little here and there by doing microjobs and paid commenting. Some time back, I got close to USD 100 for virtual assistance rendered to a US client and now I am on the look out for more ops. It is very easy to spend money but earning and keeping it is a challenge for most of us. That is why so many yuppies and grads become bankrupts due to overspending as soon as they get their first pay cheque. Discipline takes effort and should be cultivated from young. If you don’t learn the habit of saving up for rainy days, then your retirement may look bleak or woeful instead of golden and free from financial stress of lack.

Slept and Read on a Lazy Sunday Morning

I decided to skip church since they won’t hesitate to shame members due to inconsequential reasons with my friend giving a large sum every week and I give next to nothing. So, decided to sleep and read books written by dad on scriptures especially on the Catholic faith which is the true church, according to him. Both my younger sisters follow dad who is a Catholic while I am still contemplating on being one and join in the family crowd. I did some light reading and nap in between while listening to soothing music. I don’t miss anything at all, but enjoy my own company and be my own best friend.

Finished Reading a Magazine

I just finished reading a small thin magazine called National Geographic today while waiting for my colleague in the car. He went to 2 places to measure and attend a meeting while I was in the lounge by the seaside reading. Now I am on a reading marathon mode to get rid of my magazines, newspapers and books that are still lying around and unread. After reading, I tend to feel sleepy and will get a very good sleep after that. My friend had just gone down for his round of ice kacang at Food Gallery while I went upstairs to send emails after uploading so many files and brochures.

Flowers Time

flowers1

Here is a myriad of flowers with splashes of colours, like an artist’s palette of colours, neatly arranged in anticipation of the queen and also for the opening of M Mall, placed near the entrance and beside the spa that is about to open on the ground floor. The bouquets do not look cheap and they consist of a repertoire of various flowers with different colours and types all set up together on a stand.

Above is another photo for your eye candy. It certainly is refreshing to see God’s natural creations put together for an important function such as this. I love flowers and will never fail to take loads of photos of them in different shots. Hence I quickly snap up these photos before the flowers dry up, wither and look brownish.

And while you are here, enjoy the snapshots that I have taken using my iPhone 6 which has a very good camera function. One can just easily share the pictures via email and save into your computer for further editing like adding my trademark blog name, resizing, etc.

Queen coming to grace the opening ceremony

The Malaysian queen is coming tomorrow to M Mall, Penang Times Square to grace the opening ceremony at 9:00am. Since I no longer attend the local baptist church due to politics, I might just go downstairs and watch the opening ceremony myself the see in ‘permaisuri agong’ in person. Tomorrow, dad is also celebrating is belated birthday at Soon Lai around 7pm. It had been postponed for some time due to unavailability of some of us due to work. The food there is cheaper and tastier, with many patrons dining there occupying almost all the tables. This speaks volumes of the popularity of the restaurant. Just pray and hope that my money in cpf can be taken out soon.

Met Singapore Church Friend

My best friend had to go back to Johor to attend his father-in-law’s funeral today and his mother-in-law’s funeral was just 2 weeks ago. So, I am alone at the condo. Well, my Singapore church friend called up out of the blue and we decided to meet at his brother’s hardware shop in Times Square and together, we had dinner at Food Gallery – just 2 of us. It had been some years already since we last met up as she had to go back to Singapore to work and we lost contact since then. Through Facebook, we managed to get in touch again and I have learnt that she is now intentionally unemployed doing missions works. Her 4S HDB flat had been fully paid off since she worked for DBS for 18 years and another 16 years for IBM. Not bad for someone who comes from a single parent family when her father passed on prematurely.

Stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel

I stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel for free from yesterday afternoon and checked out today using the Elite Voucher. It so happened that there was a HomeDec exhibition at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and I managed to collect a few recycle bags after registering my details. After that I went back to rest and went for a free buffet dinner using the voucher as well. Took cold flower crabs and scallops, some sticks of chicken satay with peanut gravy and some dessert. We also managed to redeem another voucher for a bottle of free Merlot Chile wine and 9 chocolate pralines and a small chocolate cake using the vouchers as well.

Flying to KL Tomorrow

I shall be flying to KL early tomorrow morning by Air Asia, arriving at KLIA at 8:00am. We will go for a site visit to a factory and then head over to Melaka by rented car to hand over the tender documents. This will take about 2 hours on the road just one way trip down to Melaka from KL. I booked and paid for the boarding passes online and web check in to print out the boarding passes for easier checking into the air port lounge. By the way, Air Asia may be cheaper but it has frequent delays, sometimes up to an hour to 4 or more. There are pros and cons of flying with Air Asia and with Firefly. Yesterday, we were busy preparing the tender documents for submission soon next week.
