My Clients' Products are on the Way

This month, I got 2 orders from clients without any advertisements on my Shopify store at TheLovelyShop123.com. I ordered via Oberlo app that is linked to Aliexpress, a branch of Alibaba which is the behemoth e-commerce site of Jack Ma. The ordered items were promptly paid via Paypal and after about 5 days, I got the tracking number from ePacket China Post, which was highly recommended, even though it takes 3 - 4 weeks for arrival of items. One item was ordered from a client in the U.S. while for the other, I ordered myself for a close friend online. It was a huge learning curve for me as to how Oberlo works on Chrome browser with the extension installed. Well, I am happy to say, I am doing dropshipping on a part-time basis and it really works!

To Claim Insurance

I am going to claim insurance from Prudential that I have paid since 2006 till today. I got tendinitis on my right arm and it has been diagnosed by the orthopedic surgeon in a local hospital. I am not sure if I shall get the full compensation amounting to slightly more than a thousand ringgit that I wish to claim for my expenses. I also did MRI in another hospital and am thankful it is healing slowly without further physiotherapy. Looking at dad's medical condition, I am grateful for a good health to move around and the ability to earn an income from the comfort of home. This is God's divine blessings for me with a very understanding but sometimes hot-tempered boss on rare occasions nowadays.

Bank Loans

I received $60k loan from UOB, $20k loan from Standard Chartered Bank at 3.88% per annum and $27k loan from Maybank at 7.7% per annum. Several banks called me to loan money but I have to put a stop to this before debt comes spiraling. I guess, I might want to return the $27k from Maybank unless I use the money to buy blue chip shares at higher returns. But then again the stock market is so volatile. A piece of advice in The News Straits Times can cause the market to come tumbling down drastically! It is the UMNO controlled newspaper that always highlight bad news and cause the market to become a bear market for some time!! Why can NST highlight positive news and avoid giving false news on the stock to cause massive panic?
