I just toured Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen in China early this month. It was a trip well spent and to rejuvenate from all the work every day - day in day out. I must say that Hong Kong is quite crowded, being a hilly terrain in a small area. I also came back from Kuala Lumpur last week and brought along my laptops to work with and to check emails from the several enquiries.
Kuala Lumpur is like second home to me now - I go there almost every week. And I love the food outlets in Taipan, a happening place that is full of activity with many banks, bakeries, eateries and commercial lots. Taipan is very near to the rented apartment in USJ. Whenever I have the opportunity, I will make it a point to travel to at least one foreign country per year and get to experience the many sights, cultures and people.
Afterall, it is not often that you get to travel when you are old - so might as well make the best use of the opportunities while you are young and mobile. Life is going on well for me - never having to struggle again to work in another organization and fear whether you will be confirmed or not. My current boss is generous and understanding. And the best part is that I work alone at home with a laptop and internet connectivity. This has been going on for the last 7 plus years and we are a small but dynamic company.

Today is my birthday and I am going to celebrate it by treating my family to a sumptuous dinner at Fong Wei Chinese Restaurant tonight. I received $100 angpow from my parents, $50 each this morning. And tomorrow I will be flying off to Macau, Shenzhen and Hong Kong for 5 days and 4 nights tour with my 2 younger sisters. This is a treat to myself and to celebrate the big 40s age group. I hope I will enjoy the trip and not be too bogged down from walking too much.
Not Easy to Make Money Online
Unless you are Timothy Tiah, the boss of Nuffnang, most of us are not making good money online. But some of the select blogger with very high traffic are making stable income online - thanks to the sponsored posts from Nuffnang to Red Mummy, 5 x m o m (who by the way, got someone reported her to the police about her seditious tweet recently and for being too obnoxious and big-headed). You can read about it in The Straits Times page 10 on yesterday's issue. Making money online was quite a lucrative business for me in 2007s but not anymore! And I am not the only one affected. Most of the highly paid bloggers also got the cold shoulder.
So now we have to rely on other means to make money online like pay per click, pay per view, or pay per email read, etc. But these are very time consuming and pay very little like 0.5 cent to 1 cent each. Money goes out each month like turning on a tap and let the water run out. But making money is not easy as we have all known, unless of course you are Timothy Tiah, able to conceptualize a brilliant idea and make it work so well not only in Malaysia but other countries as well.
