Financial literacy

Someone who says money is not important to him is an ignorant fool or just a one big fat liar. I will ask what do you use to buy your food? Stones?.. If you ask me, most of the hardships in life comes from our deficiency in money. Just look around and ask yourself. Actually one of the reason why the Chinese are rich because most of them usually have savings or fortune for their next generation to come. Accumulated wealth really helps in the case of any unexpected event. They always help each other in money matters. And there's another thing - most of them too are financial prudent. Having a good knowledge in dealing with money is not something that we learn in school. It is something that we have to learn ourselves. It's important because money decides whether we live in a misery or fulfilling life.Being a financial prudent will help us to avoid having too much debt or making profit through investment. In short, we will not be deceived easily by any cunning motives. If we thin...

Playground

Every evening, the sounds of children playing can be distinctively heard from a playground next to my rental apartment. One day while I was watching them playing, I tried to figure out what sort of games are they playing. It seemed interesting to see a group of (around) 12 kids playing together. I soon realized that kids can play with just anything and they are easier and having more tendency to play. They have less excuse to just play...I remember I used to search for anything useful to just play with my friends at the park. Now, I just miss the games and the group of friends I used to play with. I want to play and just be a kid again..playing with a group of friends, having fun--one of my wishful thinking.... huhu Today, we spent our evening near the Queensbay Mall where many kite fliers like to go. The sight of kites soaring up in the air has becoming a normal scenario here because the strong wind always gives the right prerequisition to fly a kite. We are always amaze ...

Susan Boyle

This woman is amazing..I didn't watch her audition, but I just watched it in Youtube. The audience and the judges never expected that brilliant singing of hers. Her voice is very inspiring and incredibly powerful. Simply wow! and she's 48 this year. No doubt that her debut album is a best selling world wide. I love her singing for her first audition song in the Britain's Got Talent Show 09. The song called I Dreamed A Dream. Wild Horses is good too.Her story is another story of a woman who sticks to her dream no matter what other people will say. Thanks for the amazing songs and you really got talent, Susan!

Speaking of holidays, let's take a peek at some of the pictures I've taken : This is a full rainbow that i got the chance to see from my aparment balcony after i got back from work. The rainbow was just right in front of my face.Full huge semi circle. Brings joy to ur face.huhu This picture I took it while we're on the highway in Ipoh..The unique t...

Meeting with a friend..

Image
Yesterday after work, I decided to take a walk to my fren's place..It's been almost a year, (probably more than that) since the last time i saw her. I love walking so much since i used to it during my previous years in the university. My wish to join either Penang Bridge Marathon or the Penang Starwalk this year was not fulfilled due to my ignorance and late action..Haha..Actually i realized too late about these marathon and thus was not able to register before the deadlines..Hmm... Anyway, i met up with my former uni mate and it's nice meeting her face to face..We used to talk about everything and i love talking with her..So, meeting her was sort of reminiscing our life. We've talked about the people that we met in our life and how they changed us..I realized it more than ever and if we noticed hard enough some of the people that have perceptible presence in our life are there to teach us things..The lessons are not attain directly from them but much from our thought...

Maybank vs CIMB

Banking industry is all about their services. But i was surprised by how both of these banks differ greatly in terms of their service. Last month, i opened an account from each of these banks respectively. Maybank lose badly and CIMB wins unanimously. The first shortcoming is Maybank requires you to fill in a form that looks like a booklet. (Go figure!) Why do they want all that much of information anyway?...Ridiculous. CIMB? No forms required =) All personal information were typed straight into the computer. (Duh! that's what i expected in the first place and Maybank didn't do that). Second, the layout floor in this Maybank branch is not even customer-friendly. There's barely enough seats for customers to wait. Standing can really piss off the customers. At this CIMB branch, well there's enough seats alright. In fact, they provide service that was quick enough to not keep us waiting.Plus, they were far more friendly than Maybank and not just that, at Maybank when as i...

Hari Raya Syawal 09'

I was lucky enough to be able to balik kampung this year ;) .Our car broke down at Tapah R&R..(that's luck too).We waited about 6hrs to repair the car. I'll be reallyx10 dissapointed if we weren't be able to balik kampung.I guess we are destined to go back this year.Hehe..at least my Raya wasn't gonna be bored as the previous years. My parents didn't have any problems in deciding where we should balik raya first becoz both of them from the same Nogori..hee.No problem. The best thing about Raya is of course the opportunity to see our sanak sedara. My grandma at the age of 83, still fit and healthy just like Tun Mahathir..Well, both of my grandmas are perfectly healthy.(Alhamdulillah..). I adored both of them becoz of the love they have towards us.They are not grumpy and always willingly to do things without asking for anything in return without much of a complain(considering their age). When they smile, the world around smiles too.. Oh, i love meeting all of th...
