My Oyster 123

Some people are parasites, depending on others to feed them and refuse to work. It is not that they cannot work, but they choose not to work and take the easy way out, like sitting the whole day in the shop lot waiting for customers to walk in and give them business. For others, they prefer to nap the whole day and give excuse after excuse like cannot handle work pressure, etc. Just yesterday, I read an article in the newspapers of a young girl, a graduate in Computer Science from Australia who committed suicide after having depression and came back from Taiwan six months ago. This is so tragic as her condition could be averted by taking medication and seeing the mental health doctor. Life is more than work, it is about enjoying what you do and learning how to handle the daily grind and dreary pressure that may come along your way.

I am thankful for God's protection that I have never been involved in an auto accident as I always travel in a car and not in a bike which is more prone to getting accidents. And I travel frequently on the North South highway for business with my colleague in a car which needs servicing constantly. It is functional enough to transport us from Penang to Kuala Lumpur and vice versa.

No matter how much you earn, to be really rich is to spend less than you earn each month. This is basic financial principal. As long as you can save some money, say 10% of your income every month, you will become rich when you retire eventually. Many financial experts keep writing in their books to tell us to spend way less than we earn. Otherwise, you are just a transit for money transactions. You need to attract money and not repel it. By using compounding interests, you will become rich in a matter of years as you faithfully keep at saving money monthly. There is no other way for most of us who have to slought it out daily, year in year out.

I used to spend a lot of money on cosmetics in my younger days. Now at my age, I hardly put on any makeup whenever I go out except for functions and dinners. When I was working for a bank in Singapore, I used to put on make-up every day to go to work and dress like an executive with a jacket on above office clothes. Beauticians and students who have interests in attending a cosmetology school, can check out the link given by reading more about it. I used to have a colleague who turned into a beautician because valuation work was not cut out for her. She is not proficient in using the computer with the various software installed like Word, Excel and Powerpoint.

I might be going to KL tomorrow for business. My colleague and I will meet up with a potential client there before we come back to Penang after 1 or 2 days there. Just last week, I was also in KL, also for business. It is good to have a thriving business where we can get enquiries now and then and some serious customers wish to meet up with us for the project. The only way to be rich is through investment, inheritance, marrying into rich spouse and doing a successful business. You can also be wealthy if you have a specialist talent and knowledge like being a lawyer, doctor, engineer, accountant, etc. but working for other people is slower to be rich compared to doing your own business. Unfortunately, 95% of businesses fail in the first 5 years of operation and have to wind down. Only the remaining 5% will strike it rich.

Early this year, I have been approached for web design work but thank goodness I had to turn it down due to commitment to current work – otherwise I will be very busy like a bee switching between two jobs at one go. Besides, some of the requirements are beyond my knowledge and I don’t have the time to do research on the internet just for the skill. So it is better to let the professionals handle it and earn their keep. Besides, they are trained and learnt all the necessary skills in college to build a functional web site with content management added. My web design skills are self taught and all learnt from the internet and from joining forums of related topic. But I can still offer static web design pages if the requirements are simple and straight forward.

I’m only 24, but I’ve already begun to feel like I’m too old to be single. My sisters and my mother were all married right out of college. In my family, I’m in virtually uncharted territory. I have no boyfriend, and I’m sure I’m not the only person who is wondering if I will ever get married. Last night my roommate and I were talking about whether we could ever see ourselves being propose to or having a husband. Neither of us could. I sometimes try to imagine what my future husband would be like, and nothing ever comes to me. I do, however, like the idea of him thinking about me. I can imagine him telling our children this long elaborate story about the events leading up to being introduced, forming a relationship and getting married. Or perhaps that’s all only imaginable for me because I’ve spent so many nights watching How I Met Your Mother on expert Satellite. It is, however, much easier for me to imagine my children. They’ll exist, one way or another, I’m sure of it.

I will be going to Kedah in a short while to collect a cheque for the sports courts that my company has installed. This is part of the progressive payment. We will also bring some balls to the owner as free gifts which is part of the agreement. Tomorrow I might go to KL again and I have been contacted for virtual assistance yesterday plus another contact for advertisement on one of my blogs that has a page ranking of 2. I certainly love to work from my home office and getting offers here and there. 2 days ago was pay day and I plan to invest in a gold savings passbook account with Public Bank soon. The price of gold has increased from $123 last year to $170 this year. It will continue to rise which has been the trend for the last 10 years!
