Earned S$42 This Morning

Just got paid in S$42 for 6 articles about Singapore that I completed this morning. Each article is 500 to 550 words. Yes, it is possible to earn some money now and then via the internet when you are determined and constantly look around for work. This is a repeat client and we have good working relations. It is a blessing to be able to milk the internet which has been my cash cow since I joined. I also found my cousin. We have been working together for 10 years already and work very well as a team to prosper many people under our employment and also our relatives. Most of your financial problems can be solved with the internet provided you invest in some skills and reading up to leverage on this amazing media.

I am Blessed

I am blessed to have a job to work at home since 2003 in February till today. I am blessed to have a company car, a small olive green automatic Myvi 1.3. I am blessed to have high end credit cards, career, car, condo and spare cash. The only thing I don't have is children to take care of me in my golden years. But with my busy schedule, to adopt one might not be viable or feasible. I just don't have the time to take care of her with my frequent traveling to KL. So, in the meantime, I just enjoy my work and save up for my retirement in years to come. So, my life is blessed in a special way.

Women Need High Expenses

If you are a woman and want to maintain a certain status, you need to invest in make up, nice clothes and such. Even eyebrow shaping costs money, at least RM 10 per session at the cheapest. If you want to colour your finger and toe nails, you need to buy nail varnish with bottom coat and top coat together. A total of 3 layers just to have your nails coloured. Then you need to buy cosmetics for skin care like anti-aging serum, body lift lotion and more. You also need to dye your hair dark brown or black if you have hit a certain age with many strands of white hair showing, thus making you look older. If you wish to be plain Jane, then you can choose to ignore all these steps and save money in the long run. But having disposable cash, you just want to pamper yourself and look good

Missed Church

I have missed church service twice running since I am down with flu and do not wish to disturb the congregation with my constant coughs. I have seen the same doctor twice and even bought cough mixture on my own from the pharmacy including tablets to dissolve the phlegm. My boss is quite nice and does not overload me with too much work. But I still travel frequently between Penang and KL for business. This type of work is hard to come by which is to work in a home office, but thank goodness I am working for my cousin, so my employment security is more or less assured until my cousin retires altogether. By that time, I would have saved enough for my retirement account.

Blessed to Work at Home

I am blessed to work at home since being a partner in a company in early 2004. The best part is that I don't have to drive down to office, getting stuck in snarling traffic jams or spend unnecessary money on office clothes or make-up. In this way, I can also wake up later than usual and have a quick breakfast of a cup of Milo before booting up my computer and start surfing around to check emails. My average income is like a director's salary, but doing the administrative work and updating web sites. As a partner, I also need to travel frequently between Penang and KL for business. Free meals are one of the perks working here with time for window shopping in an upmarket lifestyle mall. Regardless of what I do at home, I always get the job done in a timely manner and that is why the company can prosper with my employment.

Stayed at Mandarin Oriental Hotel

I just came back from a 1 night stay at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in KLCC. As we are members of the Elite Club, we get 50% discount off the room rate with free upgrade to a park view room. We also used the voucher for a free buffet lunch at Mosaic Restaurant in Mandarin Oriental. We also took the opportunity to watch Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra entitled 18th Century Evocations featuring music by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, etc. The dress code was smart casual and they have relaxed it a bit from long sleeve formal batik. No shorts, slippers, sports shoes are allowed. It was an enjoyable experience on the whole. It makes working hard more meaningful when we are able to spend a little now and then while taking a break from work.

Working from Home means the World to me

The present company that I work for since the last 9 years is not big nor prestigious, but it pays reasonably well and the fact that I work from a home office, means the world to me. We have been blessed with constant projects month after month since it was founded in 2004 when I started working here. It is a relief to note that we saved thousands of dollars from hiring many salesmen to go round places and look for projects.

Instead, what we have is a nifty, functional web site that brings in the dough with some enquiries online every month. People look for us instead of us looking for them. What is important is that our company web site is indexed by search engines where potential clients can find us easily online by typing a few key words. I thank God for the knowledge in implementing this, all gleaned from the internet and from joining forums to learn about web site designing.
