I find it annoying that while I am working hard blogging by the computer, someone asks me stupid questions like “Are You Blogging?” If I don’t answer, this person gets angry. If I answer, I get Distracted. Please, make small talk when I am free. Not when I am busy pounding on the computer. I need concentration and you know how to ask for free ‘makan’. And I need to earn the blog money to pay for such expenses. As it is now, I am sponsoring the 3 of us to China. And it is costing me a whopping RM7,095 for the trip.

The only experience I had with home mortgage is when I bought my 3-room HDB (Housing and Development Board) flat in Commonwealth Drive in Singapore. It was a small flat suitable for single occupation at that time. And I stayed here for about 1 year before calling it quits and decided to sell the flat, pack my bags and leave for Penang, Malaysia. I had some fond memories of this place since I had spent so much time and money furnishing my flat. It was much better than renting as I had more privacy in my own flat. If you stay in Oregon, you may be interested to check out on Oregon home mortgage.
And for those who need to refinance their homes in Oregon, do surf on Oregon mortgage refinance from OregonsBestMortgage dot com. This site offers interesting information like free custom home loan quote, mortgage calculation for payment monthly and other articles related to mortgage especially in Oregon. Buying a home is the best investment you could do to yourself and let the value of the property appreciates as more money comes to you written on paper. Also, buying a home is a better investment than buying cars or computer with the value depreciating very fast the moment they are bought. There is not much resale value in these items except for a house.
I woke up early this morning at around 6:00 am to see if there are any good opps to take. My goodness, there are more than 15 opportunities this morning but unfortunately, I was late in taking up the offer. All of them are greyed out. Some offer more than USD10 a post which I think it is a pity I did not manage to snap them. When the offers were given out, I was slumbering away in the wee hours of the morning. I hope in future, PayPerPost will spread out in distributing the posts so that not all the good one are giving out while I am slumbering away.
Today, I shall be going to Taiping after lunch to take photos of the completed futsal courts that my company has installed. The photos will be put into the company web site for potential clients to view our reference projects. As of now, we have more than 50 pictures of various project references that we have completed since 2003 and the profile keeps growing each month. That is why the company is so blessed with plenty of projects on hand every month that sometimes we are short of labor to complete them on time. The trip to Taiping will take about 2 hours drive and probably the whole afternoon will be taken just travelling.
This morning I am supposed to fast and not take breakfast. In an hour or two, I shall be at the clinic to have my blood taken from the arm for blood sugar test plus a host of other test like cholesterol, etc. So I have to endure the hunger for a while before the test. I shall be going with my parents who will also have their blood taken. It was an offer period for the factory where my youngest sister works and she brought back the pamphlet with discounted price of half the amount. Except for my dad who has a clogged artery, my parents are very healthy with no sickness or diseases despite their ages at 69 and 70.
I wonder if there are any sites to download free anti-spyware and anti-adware or anti-malwares. The ones that I have in my computer requires payment after scanning through hundreds of such spywares in lurking in my PC. Now to go to a new site, I have to wait for like 12 seconds or more. This is getting worse as I surf more sites and take up blogging for paid posts. Otherwise, I have to send in the PC to the shop for a complete format and reinstallation of Windows XP as my OS. It also slows down my work a lot and if I open several browsers at the same time, it will automatically close all of them on its own. The spywares are taking a toll on my beloved PC and slowing down my work quite a lot.
Today I was busy working on my computer for the company that I work for on a full time basis. And yesterday, I emailed 4 different sports quotations for the potential clients. It was a busy day for me. I also sent an invoice to a client for the progressive payment. Although I tell people that I work from home office, it sounds simple and easy going. But there are a lot of computer work to be done from admin work to emailing and preparing quotations. I can also take phone calls now though with a hoarse voice. I am having some lost of voice for the past 8 months and did not take calls for many months and my boss had to take more calls. Thank goodness, I can speak again though with softer voice but my clients can still hear me over the phone.

My obnoxious ex-supervisor in a retail shop called me many times last week. I used to work on a temporary basis for a retail shop just after my 1 year hiatus or break from work. I was recuperating from all the stress and it was time to go back to work which I did. And I started in an easy job in a retail company selling carpets. I worked for this company for 4 months before I left on my own for greener pastures as they paid me the minimum amount I was willing to take at only RM900 a month inclusive of $100 for the car park in Gurney Plaza. So, that amounts to RM800. This ex-supervisor was a bitch. She claimed credit for the work I did like configuring the email and creating a fax template while jotting down my offence like forgetting to put the pencil in the drawer, etc. And this idiot came to work 1 hour late every day with no one to write down her offences just because she’s the supervisor and there were only 3 of us in the retail shop. For only RM800 a month, I had to type 30 addresses and match the post code every day and working hard for this bitch who claim credit on all my work.
Just last week, she contacted me at my house tel number 3 times and my handphone number a few more times because she’s out of a job and frantically looking for another job, hoping I can inform my boss to hire her to work from home like myself. And she had the cheek to ask for my help after all these years and the crazy ‘offences’ she wrote about me. Well, I sms back, “Let the boss jot down your offences and let him whack you! Stop bothering me!” She got the message and has since then stopped contacting me. Serve her right.
It is good to buy insurance policy if you can afford it. Insurance is promise of reimbursement in the case of loss and paid to people or companies concerned about hazards that they have made prepayments to an insurance company. It is a policy of a written contract and an indemnity or protection against future loss. People buy insurance policies to protect their properties, their assets, save up for their children’s education and even boat insurance. You can also get your car insured and other precious items insured as well. And I am pleased to say that I have managed to claim money from my previous insurance policy for a personal health problem which amounts to quite a lot in ringgits.
Today I got 3 offers from blogsvertise to post in three different blogs. There is an offer from smorty as well. Thank goodness I have other programs to post besides PayPerPost (PPP). As there are 28,000 you can imagine the offers are snapped up very fast in PPP. If I can find a post to blog daily in PPP, I will be very lucky. Gone are the juicy days where I can take more than 6 offers a day from PPP. Well, some lucky souls are still blogging a lot from PPP and their earnings are increasing dramatically. Just wish I could be one of them.
Last night, I had dinner in The Food Loft in Gurney Plaza. And yes, there is a statue of a brown naked woman with a violin. It was part of the decoration and the ambience looks like those of a hotel. The chairs were linen covered soft cushion. You need to get a card each person to order. Simply find your table and take note of your table reservation number. Then order your food and you need to bring your card along to be scanned by the computer for the order. Tell the cook your table number and he will bring the food to your place. After the meal, you card will be scanned again for the payment.

I did not go to Gurney Plaza for quite some time and when I dined in Food Loft last night, I noticed that there were a lot of changes to the refurbishment in the process. On the ground floor outside, there is a new restaurant called Chilis serving something like Mexican food with burgers and tortillas. It was very crowded and poor Breeks shifted further away from near the entrance did not even have a customer. Maybe it was poor planning to shift so far away and being overshadowed by the newly opened Chilis. Tonight, I am going to treat my family to Food Loft as my parents have never been there before.
