My Oyster 123

I now enjoy more peace of mind working from my new apartment where there is complete privacy and silence from the neighborhood. In fact, my opposite neighbor does not even stay at her condo and only comes once in a while for holidays. It is like a holiday home for her. So, in the meantime, I am enjoying myself working all alone with all the facilities put in place like a fax machine, multi-functional printer with scanner and copier and of course, my new laptop installed with Windows 7. My boss has gone out for site visit and to run errands while I handle all the computer work and administrative job. It is a win-win partnership for us where we do everything ourselves without the additional overheads of extra staffs. This company is blessed!

Today is pay day for me, which is every 1st and 15th of the month. More moolah in my bank account! As long as the present status quo is maintained, I can be gainfully employed for as long as time permits. Well, I have been in the same company for 8 years already, all working from a home office. It is quite easy for me as I don't have to commute to work or get dressed up and put on make up. No longer do I get stuck in snarling traffic jams every morning or when work finishes in the evening. No longer do I suffer the disease of Egypt, which is stress! Working all alone at home is easy peasy and I get to nap in between work! What more can you ask for?

I have been coughing on and off for a few months now. When I thought I was healed and took cold drinks, I am down again with a cough. I have finished my medication, bought from the pharmacist, yet there is not healing of the cough! So for now, I have to be contend with drinking hot Chinese tea and warm food. The good news is that I work in a home office, so I can take leave anytime and rest to recuperate from all the coughing. I have an understanding boss who is also generous. Because of this, my fortune has turned 180 degrees ever since I came back to Penang to start all over again.

Today I managed to successfully verify my Payza account. It was formerly known as Alert Pay. However, the debit card that I bought online is still Alert Pay and I am not sure if I can still use it with Payza. There is USD 32 loaded to the card of which I have been trying to withdraw using the Visa ATM machines. I am still clueless as to how to withdraw into Malaysian Ringgit of RM 90.00 after a deduction of USD 3 for the transaction. Otherwise, I will just use the debit card to purchase items from any of the supermarkets and free up the loaded cash. The money saved is my hard work completing micro jobs from a web site.

I hope to become a successful book author. Currently, I am working on a book and hope to get it published by the end of the year at the latest. However, I am still taking my time to write it and to find worthy things to jot down and have it printed. Writing a book is a laborious task and it is not for everyone. First, you need to have a laptop or a computer and be able to type with 10 fingers! Then you need to be able to thing coherently with tapping on the keyboard so that your contents make sense and people want to buy your book to read it.

You have to consider the end user in mind. Your book clients. There might also be speaking engagement and autographing of your book in the various bookstores. So there will be much publicity and your life will not be the same as before. You might have to trade off your privacy to successfully sell your book. Just wait and see!

I am a freelance web designer and appreciate any good web site designs by Designpax which has a business web site in designpax.com, where you can click on the link to find out more information.

I can identify with the difficulties a web site designer faces especially when he or she has to come out with a fresh looking layout or template that is easy to navigate, not cluttered and clean design with a preferably white background for readability.

Not only that, the web site also has to load fast, hopefully within 20 seconds on a dial-up modem as many countries in the world and especially in the developing ones are still using the old dial-up system. That is because, you don't want to miss out on this target group of people and hope that they don't bypass your beautifully designed web site all because they have to wait for too long for all the page elements to load up fully.

The landing page design is also just as important and you can also add Facebook landing pages to increase traffic for the taking. Hence, a good website designer not only can design a fully functional and beautiful web site but one that works well with any browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and so on.

These are the pertinent factors to consider when designing a web page or a web site for that matter.

Making money is not easy and not everyone in the streets know how to do this. That is why you have beggars begging with some genuine cases while others are professional beggars recruited by organisations. This is the easiest way to earn money but can be very very boring! Sitting down there whole day doing nothing, except to look pathetic, dirty and destitute. Hence, it is all about education and integrity. The higher educated you are, the more likely you will earn more.
