Wanna Go Shopping For Books, Magazines, Women Stuffs, Groceries ? July 30, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Shopping , add a comment
My hubby asked me if I would like to go shopping in Ipoh tomorrow. I am still considering.
I have to make sure that I have some books, clothes, groceries or female stuffs to buy first. Well, actually I should get my students some reference books. And it’s also time for me to get some female magazines for myself.
What deters me to go down to Ipoh is the heat. I can’t stand the hot weather. I tend to feel restless and fatigue when I am in Ipoh. Even if the air-conditioner has to be turned to full blast, I will still perspire. Guess how many times I can take a bath there ? 5 times a day !
There is another reason why I seldom go back to Ipoh. My neighbor opposite my house is a drug addict. He likes asking money from us whenever he sees us back.
Phew…I heard from my hubby over dinner just now that he has already been sent to a drug rehab.
Hi, Madam ! We Are Doing A Market Research …. July 24, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Business , add a commentThe door bell rang, so I went to have a look who was there.
“Hi, madam. I am Mike from XYZ company. We are running a lucky draw contest at the moment.There are fabulous prizes like hand phones, DVD players, televisions sets and the Grand Prize is - A ViVa national car ! It’s free to take part ….”
I had to interrupted this man abruptly before he went on with his tale, “I am sorry. I am not interested. Thanks”
Am I rude ? Well, we have to be like this in Malaysia. There are too many scams out there conning people. Women, especially the elderly, are their target. That’s why we have to bang our doors on salesmen.
There is exception, though. If they are doing market research or marketing surveys, then I don’t mind answering their questionnaires. In fact, it is quite fun. Sometimes, we are given free gifts such as towels and personal care products.

Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Work At Home , 1 comment so farPhew..what a great bath I had just now. OK ..I am back !
I am going to spend the rest of the night blogging and writing paid posts as firstly, my hubby has gone down to Ipoh. When he is here, he won’t let me blog for too long. Yup..staying up late is bad for health. When he is not around, I will blog to death !
Secondly, there will be some power supply repair in this area starting from 9 a.m to 3 p.m. Arrrghh…my golden time of writing paid posts and making money online ! By the time the power resumes, I have to start teaching.
Gosh ! My Muscle Aches, Lower Back Pains ! I Need My Dead Sea Salt Now ! July 22, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Health , 1 comment so farPhew.. I need a break from blogging now. I will be gone for a few hours as I have been in front of my computer for more than 4 hours now.
This is definitely bad to my skin due to long hours’ exposure to radiation from computer. I am going to enjoy my hot bath and then apply some dead sea salt that contains over 26 minerals. As my skin stays moist and younger looking all day,I do not have to use expensive lotion or creams anymore.
Besides that, dead sea salt relieves muscle aches, lower back pain and joint aches. I believe a lot of bloggers suffer from one of these aches and pains ! Well, admit it !
Once Our Credit Card Debt Zooms Down To $30,000, We Can .. July 22, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Bathroom Accessories , 1 comment so farWhile shopping online for bar stools for my hubby, I came across some bathroom vanities such as wood sink vanities which come in square, round , double-sink and a lot more.
I wish that buying our second home in Cameron Highlands will come true soon. My hubby and I have decided that once our credit card debt has zoomed down to $30,000, we can think of buying an apartment in Cameron Highlands. After all, it is possible to buy a house with ‘No Money Down’ or with $500 or $100 for down payment.
Wood furniture and home decor have always been our first choice due to their classic taste and natural aroma.
Our Bed & Breakfast Guests ? Free Reading For Books And Newspapers ! July 22, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Business , 1 comment so farOur initial plan for our Novel House is only selling, buying and renting novels and magazines to tourists from all over the world having a vacation or long stay in Cameron Highlands.
But then, a brilliant idea struck up the other day.Our target readers are tourists, right ? And most of them are backpackers who stay in bed & breakfast inns !
You see, we are going to rent a shop. Why not we rent the second floor as well ? Yeahoo… a bed & breakfast inn for tourists. Our guests are entitled to free reading. Isn’t it convenient for them to read books, magazines and newspapers at our Novel House ?
Any Novel House In Cameron Highlands ? Coming Soon ! July 22, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Business , 1 comment so farMy hubby and I are book lovers. So, when we think of starting a new business, it is natural that BOOKS come into our minds !
We plan to set up our business around April next year, selling, buying and renting novels and magazines. I love novels very much, therefore I am thrilled that I am doing the things I love. Isn’t life wonderful and meaningful if we can do the things we love ?
We know some book suppliers in Ipoh who can give us books at very low prices. Our target readers are tourists having a short stay or vacation in Cameron Highlands.
Get Me My Toolbox, Please ! July 20, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Cars , add a commentAlmost every family in Cameron Highlands owns a truck. It’s not surprising at all to see that some even have a few trucks as they have numerous fruit and vegetable farms.
It’s a common sight to see trucks fully equipped with truck toolboxes. They are must-have for trucks as they come in handy to truck drivers whenever the trucks break down at midnight and no one is in sight at that moment !
Though we are not driving any truck, we also put a medium truck toolbox in our car for safety and convenience purposes.
How To Avoid Speed Traps & Saman In Malaysia ? July 16, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Cars , add a commentFellow Malaysians, please drive carefully on federal and state roads by abiding by the 80kph speed limit as the National Day Celebration is around the corner. Ops Sikap will be launched soon to lower the death toll on federal and state roads.
If you have the tendency to exceed the speed limit, jump queue, beat the red light, use the emergency lane or overtake along double lines ,you will be slapped with a maximum fine of RM300 !!
What about installing a radar detector to determine if your speed is being monitored by a radar unit ? Are radar detectors completely legal to use ? Yes, in non-commercial vehicles in 49 states. Only Virginia and Washington D.C. currently ban radar detector use in the United States.
What about Malaysia ? As far as I am concerned - Tak Boleh !! Illegal !
According to a friend who is a Physics lecturer, he confirms that there is no way that the police can detect the use of a radar detector unless it is under laboratory conditions.
To Save Time, I Use Budgeting Software For My Debt Management July 16, 2007
Posted by Home Cleaning Work At Home Mom in : Debt Management , 1 comment so farYeahoo.. my credit card debt has gone down to $56,836 from $63,806.
It seems that what we have been doing has worked wonder ! Share with you what my hubby and I did to cut down our credit card debt.
Firstly, we cut off our credit cards. This is to avoid adding new debt to our existing balance.
Secondly, cut down our expenses on meals at restaurants, shopping sprees and luxury items.
Thirdly, do budgeting. I am kind of a lazy bone when it comes to recording daily expenses and doing spreadsheet, therefore I resort to budgeting software that saves me time and hassle. Time saved can actually be used to make more money to pay off my debt.
