My Oyster 123

I shall be 48 next year in the zodiac year of the dog. Good riddance to the cockerel. Now coming back from New Zealand, I have many newspapers to catch up, unpacking and the like. Also, more than 50 tax invoices to input to the cloud system to create Purchase Receive to claim from customs. I have also stopped going to church as it is no longer conducive for me to attend ever since that fanatic married to another woman spouse of mine yelled at me in church and he gives RM 1000 / week and now reduced to RM 500 / week! Thinking that God will cancel off his bankruptcy debts. He had 3 legal charges against him, and could no longer travel to the UK since he overstayed as a student when his visa expired and he did not bother to renew it. So, he has been blacklisted from travelling to the UK!

An Indian medical student was crowned Miss World at a glitzy event in a Chinese resort on Saturday, making her country the joint-most successful in the beauty pageant’s history.

Manushi Chhillar is the sixth Indian winner of the long-running contest, following in the footsteps of Bollywood actresses Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai.

Her win brings India level with Venezuela as the countries with most victories in the history of the pageant, now in its 67th edition.

Chhillar, 20, is a trained Indian classical dancer who also enjoys painting and hopes to open a chain of non-profit hospitals in rural areas, according to the Miss World website.

"Thank you, everyone, for your constant love, support,” and prayers she wrote on Twitter. “This one’s for India.”

Chhillar’s victory rapidly became a top trending topic on the social media platform in India after the announcement, with Manohar Lal Khattar -- the minister of her home state of Haryana -- among the first to offer congratulations.

Chhillar was handed the crown by last year’s winner, Stephanie del Valle of Puerto Rico, at the ceremony in the Chinese coastal city of Sanya on Saturday night.

Stephanie Hill of England and Andrea Meza of Mexico finished as runners-up.

Saturday marked the Miss World pageant’s return to Sanya, on southern China’s Hainan Island, for the seventh time, where the event was last held in 2015.

At the previous occasion two years ago, controversy erupted as officials in Hong Kong stopped Miss Canada, Anastasia Lin, from boarding a plane bound for Sanya, telling her she would not receive a visa.

The 25-year old actress claimed the decision was due to her stance on China’s human rights record, including its persecution of Falun Gong, a Chinese spiritual group of which she is a practitioner.

At last year’s event in the United States, Lin was again embroiled in controversy when pageant officials reportedly warned her against speaking to the press for three weeks about human rights abuses in China.

Lin did not participate in this year’s event, with Canada represented instead by Cynthia Menard, a high school student.

My full-time job is now subsidising for my part-time e-commerce store and advertisements. I even had a book published on Amazon since 2014 with a few sales. Not enough to bring in the constant dough, even though I had paid thousands to self-publish. Quite soon, I have to create calendars again to send out to 50 existing clients and no longer print out 100 copies and send to poor clubs in the villages with no finances to install sports courts. Hence, should my partner retires, then I can fully concentrate on my e-commerce store and bring it to the next level and millionaire sales.

Setting up your own Shopify store is not sufficient to bring in the big bucks. You need a mentor like Mike Young or someone that he had coached to bring you to the next level of success! All of us need mentors! Warren Buffet had his mentor, and so did many other successful billionaires and businessmen. I am considering of investing in a mentor to help set up my Shopify store which is currently a general store and scale it up 3 - 4 times the revenue. At the same time, I might consider hiring a virtual assistant to help me in this e-commerce as I have a full-time job that is lucrative working for a friend in a home office.

Leia is now 6 months old. Her old teeth dropped and now replaced with new ones that grow in 2 rows. She playfully bites which does not hurt anymore unlike the time when she was a puppy. She is learning fast and can do a few commands like sit, paw, and down. She is now fatter with more fur on her tail and I just love stroking the pelt. She also takes tube vitamins, on top of her kibbles and tin food that are more delicious and come in various flavours. She was panting hard after some exercise around the condo and climbing up 3 storeys of stairs!

Now I have very good social life! LOL. I have a pet puppy that won a prize and 2 pure white Holland Lop bunnies named Snowy and Snow. And 2 brown Holland Lop mized with Long Haired Angora bunnies, named Brownie and Brown or Tom as affectionately called by my pet boarder, since he is very active and followed Leia's behaviour of digging vigorously on the floor. They cannot complain to you nor put you down unlike human beings! All they need is food and maintenance and you get love, friendship and loyalty in return. The financial cost and manual labour is all borned by my spouse.

I may be hustling daily doing my full time work in a home office while moonlighting on the sides in my free time like blogging, microjobs, updating ecommerce store, writing articles, etc. There will be something to do every month or every day and work can never finish. I am a workahholic. And I enjoy it, which gives me a sense of power and prestige that I am still able to earn my own money albeit the small amount compared to my full time job which requires weekly travelling. My boss is already in his retirement age, at 66 and counting. He is very productive and hustling daily, praying daily for everyone and the company. May God bless us with protection and ability to create wealth
