Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

Cavalier King Charles Spaniel

I love pets, especially small dogs like pomeranians, dachshund, poodles, chihuahua, and the like. Small toy dogs are easy to keep and they make good pets. I used to spend eons of time at my aunt's house and playing with her 2 dogs. She has a big garden for the dogs to run around and exercise their limbs.

Don't you just love Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppies at Cavoodle Puppies for Sale? The ubiquitous brown and white fur of these dogs are so fluffy and they are adorable looking pets. Makes a good companion for a lonely soul or singles with busy lives. It helps to de-stress when one keeps a close pet for comfort and as a companion. As I am born in the year of the dog, hence, I love all things related to dogs.

On the other hand, if you need home loans, just check out Home Loans Christchurch. For the record, I just got my home loan approved last month after 1+ months of waiting and frequent correspondences with the banks. Nowadays, it is very difficult to get a home loan and banks are much stricter at this period due to defaulting, bad loans and bankruptcy cases which are on the rise.

Home Loan

I almost gave up applying for a home loan when I found out that it was so difficult locally here, but persisted as I just refused to put all my money in the bank for low fixed deposit interests rates. Hence, to hedge against inflation, I decided to buy a property for rental income later on and also for investment. The condo should be ready by 2018 and by then I will own 2 properties close by.

If you love to travel just like me, you can also check out Holiday Homes Auckland. By end of this year in December, I will be traveling to Europe during winter with my youngest sister and meet up with second sister before touring 7 nations by coach, namely United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.

Most probably will spend Christmas in Vatican city and have lunch there. This is the most expensive tour package that I have booked and just hope it justifies my expenditure. I really hope to have a good time there, visiting places of interests. Also, it might be the last time I spend trips overseas with my sisters as I have to save up some money for my rental property, to be completed in a couple of years later. This is the motivation of working hard for my money, offering virtual assistance on the sideline besides a full time income as an IT executive in a home office.

I also travel frequently in my job, shuttling between Penang and Kuala Lumpur by car with my colleague. Hence, it is better not to have children for the freedom to do the things that I love. In the meantime, you can also browse high view apartments in New Zealand.

Going to KL

I shall be going to KL this Wednesday for business again. Will follow my colleague who will drive down for the journey. It will most probably be at night when the weather is not too hot unlike the afternoon sun with sweltering heat during the day. I love to have the opportunity to work at home with CPF and SOCSO benefits. My boss is nice most of the time, working hard and helming the company to support so many people, including his relatives, family and workers. It is not easy to find another person like him, who is selfless, generous and think of others first.

Everyone has to Work

Yes, work cannot fill the void – which can only be replaced by Jesus. But all of us need to work to support ourselves. Many people are unable to work or maintain their jobs, having to job hop from one place to another. This does not auger well for the future. Many women have to depend on their husbands for financial support and cannot work themselves, with no qualifications. Unless, of course their take up job as a McDonald’s service crew at $5 per hour. But how many are will to slave so much for such little income, unless you are a student and not a tai tai, traveling overseas all the time and spending other people’s money?

Withdraw over $400 from my Paypal

I got paid in Euro 100.00 to my paypal for a German client for work done last month. This is more than RM400 in my local currency and I promptly withdrew the amount yesterday to my Public bank. Since August 2006, I have earned RM 45,500 for blogging and virtual assistance work to date. And this is done on a part time basis. This averages to RM 542 per month earning money in my own capacity. Much better than working in retail where the hours a long and boring with a meager income. I hope to save enough for my retirement down the road as I don't have pension like dad or allowances from children like mum.

Flying Down with Air Asia

I will be flying down with Air Asia to Johor Bahru for an interview for a sports court project with IJM. The cost of airfare is RM706.00 for 2 persons on board with air port tax and choosing of seats. Then we will rent a car for RM 165 from Hertz which has already been booked earlier. The plane departs at 7:15am in the morning, arriving at 8:25am and on the same day depart at 5:30pm, arriving in Penang 1 hour 15 minutes later. After the interview, I hope to visit Johor Premium Outlets selling well known brands for the retail at 25% to 65% discount. In my line of work, frequent travelling is required to accompany my colleague who helms the small business.

Created an Invoice on Paypal

I just successfully created an invoice on Paypal to request for payment. This is my first time and it was straight forward and easy peasy. Nothing complicated and the Paypal platform was user-friendly. I created an invoice for USD 50.00 payment on a monthly basis for commented on a high traffic blog in the U.S.

By the way, I just came back from Kuala Lumpur last night by car, having traveled in the late evening and reach home by 9:00pm. Gave my parents October's allowance and then headed back to my condo for a good break. I was too tired to do anything else and promptly rested in bed. Well, my life now consists of work and lots or traveling as part of my job. Not having kids gives me the freedom to travel often for the job, but I shudder to think of my future when I am retired and alone again.

Now in Kuala Lumpur

Someone claimed that I have the 'best job' in the region. I beg to differ. The best job is when you call the shots all the time and are your own boss. I am just a business partner who still have to take instructions and carry out those tasks. The only consolation is that I work in a home office either in Penang or Kuala Lumpur. Right now I am in KL and will return to Penang tomorrow. Yesterday, visited 3 places using the GPS to guide us; otherwise we will not be able to visit 3 different places that are far away from each other. Samsung S4 also comes with a voice navigated GPS which we just discovered by accident. Technology certainly makes our lives so much easier.

I Love My Job

For most people a JOB is 'Just Over Broke'. But for me, well, I can say that I enjoy my dream job very much because I get to work from a home office. It is true. They pay you just enough that you won't leave and Not more! If they can get away with paying the least and have you do the most work, they will certainly do it. This is how companies cut costs - by having you perform the most work at the minimum pay to keep you there. Well, if you are enterprising, then it might be time to start considering working for yourself in a home office just like me.
