Going Back for CNY

Early tomorrow morning, I shall take Firefly propeller plane back to Penang from Subang low cost terminal airport. The cost was RM 391.00 one way with surcharge and airport tax. The following day, will take Air Asia to fly down to Singapore for Chinese New Year and hopefully to collect big, big ang pow. I have to bring along 2 red blouses - one for reunion dinner and one for CNY day itself. I might just visit The Sands Resort and other attractions in Singapore. Well, it has been 13 long years since my last trip back to Penang to recuperate after 12 years of studying and working there. Time for a more laid back lifestyle and this job to work at home fits me perfectly well. No other person can fill my shoes.

Love my JOB

For most people, a JOB is Just Over Broke. But for me, I just love it! Though it can get a bit boring at times, sitting by the computer all alone, but nevertheless, I love it – simply for the fact that I can work in my own pace and time. No office politics or nosy supervisor to look over your shoulders. In fact, most of the time, I will be listening to music in the background or napping in between. It would be a luxury to most for this type of job which I cannot trade for anything else. God has found a calling for me in this vocation where only I can handle and one that suits my capabilities well enough.

A New Year Begins

2012 ended on a high note and 2013 dawned with colourful display of fireworks. I have made some good income, in the region of 6 figures last year and it has been profitable for the business. Moreover, I also earn from my bonds and fixed deposits from the various banks. I got back most of the money I put into insurance when I surrendered the policy in November as I have too many policies which are pointless!

Just pray for God's continual blessings this year, as He has blessed me with last year and the preceding years. More importantly, it is His protection that I need 24/7 for the rest of my life, so that I can continue to work and earn an income with my computer. Don't plan to retire so soon yet, as I have many more fruitful years to contribute to the business and the nation, indirectly.

Back from Christmas Holidays

My youngest sister is still in South Hampton enjoying herself and will be back on 2 January 2013. Meanwhile, I had a short holiday over Christmas and it is now over. Time flies so fast and before you know it, it is time for New Year celebration. I got myself an iPhone 5 with IOS 6 last night. I traded in my old iPhone 4 for $700 and bought the new iPhone 5 for $2,012. This month, I am in a spending moon and also contributed $400 to charity. I also got a Prada handbag from KLCC, the most expensive gift I got myself. These are my own hard earned money and it pays to spend a little so that there is the motivation to keep working diligently.

New Mercedes S280

My colleague is doing very well. She just bought a Mercedes S280, silver in colour after getting a promotion and bonus this year. It is more of a family car and I guess her kids will fit in nicely. The car looks good but very expensive. Since she is in the sales line, it will suit her job functions well and impress potential clients. She earns a basic plus commissions that bring in the dough. Well, I just wish her well with her new car. It is an apt Christmas present to herself with this sleek marque, fully automated with many functions - according to her.

I Love VistaPrint

I love VistaPrint! They have awesome ready made templates of various themes for you to choose for the cards design. All you need to do is just type in your name, address, company name, contact numbers, fax number, email, etc. The designs are so intricately done and I simply love them! This Christmas, you can get your business or personal cards printed out for free for 250 copies and get a free stamp!

Just last month, I had my boss’ name cards printed out for 5 boxes or 500 pieces for $120.00 or 24 cents a card. This is more expensive than our regular printer who charges us 18 cents a card, or $54.00 for 300 pieces. I forgot the previous price and did not keep track but realized our regular printer was much cheaper with better quality print compared to the new card printer.

Well, to get started, you can click on the banner above that will direct you to have your VistaPrint cards designed in a jiffy – all done online at your fingertips. This is an ingenious way to leverage on the internet and get global clients! The internet has certainly made the world connected and smaller. It is now borderless business transaction with instant payment via your credit card through their safe and secure payment gateway.

Some are so Destitute

I was looking for work via a web site where there are several postings of single mum with a baby to feed with no money to buy food. I am not sure if this is the state of affairs in the US but apparently the economic situation is not very good there. Looks like many are jobless and will go hungry without the financial means to purchase basic necessities like food to live. I guess, I am bless as a child of God. The bible says, God's children will never have to beg in the streets or go hungry. And I certainly believe this phrase as I am living proof that there is plenty of food in the fridge and supplements with vitamins to better health.
