New Mercedes S280

My colleague is doing very well. She just bought a Mercedes S280, silver in colour after getting a promotion and bonus this year. It is more of a family car and I guess her kids will fit in nicely. The car looks good but very expensive. Since she is in the sales line, it will suit her job functions well and impress potential clients. She earns a basic plus commissions that bring in the dough. Well, I just wish her well with her new car. It is an apt Christmas present to herself with this sleek marque, fully automated with many functions - according to her.

Looking for Work Online

Just the other day, I woke up early in the morning before 6:30am and fired up my computer to look for work online. My efforts paid off when I found a job offer that I can easily complete within minutes. An email reply came back asking for more details and how I will go about doing this work. After fast correspondences, I completed the work to add meta tags to the web site so that it will be listed first in google and was promptly paid US$20.00 on the same day!

By the way, my client was from Ipoh, a film producer living in New York, and apparently doing quite well there! It certainly pays to live in Malaysia while earning US dollars which can be converted three times to local currency.

Time for an Update

I have been some days since I last update this blog. I was in KL for business for about 1 week. Now I am back in Penang to do some online work for a client from Australia. Unlike most people who would rather sleep than work, I am a workaholic and will always find something meaningful to do. As they say, "Make Hay while the Sun Shines!" So, while I am still healthy and able, I will work for as long as possible for a secure golden retirement. What about you? Don't get jealous of my success, as I certainly work hard for it. While most of other people prefer to just nap at home or watch telly.

Priority Banking

Today I went to Public bank again to take out my Fixed Deposit that matured last month and put into Standard Chartered Bank to take advantage of the 4.01% interests rate per annum. In the meantime, I also applied for priority banking and received a notepad that looks like a diary. I also hope to get my Infinity Credit Card. Well, I am not too happy with the service of the relationship manager who tells me that there is no gift at all and all given out. After much talking, then only she relented. My God! This was my entitlement that should be given out automatically and not with much persuasion or arm-tactic. I feel like lodging a complaint but then that will be another day.

Peace working from my Apartment

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

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?

Down with Cough

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.

Verified My Payza

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.
