My New Expensive Alarm Clock

Normally what is your budget to buy a new alarm clock? Or, you do not spend any money and you just use your hand phone as your alarm clock? Or, you do not bother the time at all.

 

I fall in love on this alarm clock. It is so nice but it is very expensive too. This alarm clock price is RM126. I was shocked! I have never been bought so expensive alarm clock in my life. The boss said can give me discount. It still cost around RM98 after discount. I straight told to boss, it is so expensive. I cannot afford it and over my budget. My earlier budget is around RM30 only. Actually, in my mind I so wanted to buy this clock!   Then, I try to bargain with him again. I bargained with him quite long. Finally, he sold me the alarm clock at RM80. I managed to get 36.50% discount. Woww…gambatte…I can join the “Si Lai” group already.  Or, actually I am a ”Si Lai” ^.^

 

Let’s view my lovely alarm clock photo

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cannot Take Photo Label

Place: Central Market

Visited Time: 6p.m++

Shop: Clock Shop

 

Let’s see this special clock on the photo. There are so nice. All clocks are imported from Japan.

 

 

Do you notice there is a warning label? Can’t see? Try to focus again on the photo. Get it? The answer is …….haha…FIND YOURSELF unless you are blind.

 

Well, you will be thinking that how come I managed to take the photo even there is a warning label?  Or, you don’t even want to bother? Not need to guess! I asked permission from him. I took the above photo in front of boss. The boss didn’t scold me and just stood behind me and let me took the photo. 

 

He also took a catalogue and showed me all type of clocks under this brand which is imported from Japan. Wow…damn nice but it is also very expensive. The price ranges are around RM700 to RM2500!! If you are afford to pay it, why not you go to that shop and pick one of them back home. It is really worth it because you might get back double the money value in future. I’m not lie! My aunty has one. Please see the below photo. She bought it many years ago and cost her around RM200. But, she can sell it at least RM1000. Crazy, right?

 

 

婚前 婚後

以前提到結婚，想到「天長地久」；
現在提到結婚，想到「能撐多久」。

當初會結婚，說是「看上眼」；
後來會離婚，說是「看走眼」。
 
婚前，愛情是神話；
婚後，愛情是笑話。

男人花錢，是為了讓女人高興；
女人花錢，是因為男人讓她不高興。
 
嫁入「豪門」，要懂得理財；
嫁入「寒門」，要懂得生財。
 
以前的人，視婚姻生活為「一輩子」；
現代的人，視婚姻生活為「一陣子」。

婚前，男人在餐廳等女人；
婚後，女人在客廳等男人。
 
婚前，男人經常找女人「討論」；
婚後，男人只告訴女人「結論」。
 
婚前，男人對她悄悄講話；
婚後，男人對她大聲講話。
 
戀愛時，情話綿綿；
結婚後，謊話連連。
 
戀愛時的男人，喜歡「毛手毛腳」；
結婚後的男人，變成「沒手沒腳」。

婚前，情侶做什麼都是「浪漫」；
婚後，夫妻做什麼都是「浪費」。  
 
如意 郎 君何處覓？
    
有才華的長得醜，長得帥的掙錢少，掙錢多的不顧家，
顧了家的沒出息，有出息的不浪漫，會浪漫的靠不住，靠得住的又太窩囊………
 
男人呢?
        
漂亮的女人不下廚房，下廚房的不溫柔，會溫柔的沒主見，有主見的沒女人味，有女人味的亂花錢，不亂花錢的不時尚，時尚的不放心，放心的沒看頭。
 
想結婚，是自己已能獨立；
想離婚，是子女已獨立。
 
婚前的男人，大都很幽默。
婚后的男人，大都很沉默。
 
女人的記性，吵架時最好；
男人的耐性，結婚后最差。
 
戀愛時，一見面就「親嘴」；
結婚後，一見面就「鬥嘴」。
 
婚前，男人常給女人「空白支票」；
婚後，男人常給女人「空頭支票」。
 
戀愛時，生活「妙不可言」；
結婚後，日子「苦不堪言」。
 
婚前，男人天天盯著女人；
婚後，女人天天盯著男人。
 
熱戀時，總相許下輩子再結良緣；
結婚後，常疑上輩子造作孽緣。
 
大男人，會「作威作福」；
好男人，會「作牛作馬」。
 
婚前，「謊話」都是「情話」；
婚後，「情話」都是「廢話」。
 
婚前，靠近一點；
婚後，閃開一點。
 
婚前，沒話找話說；
婚後，有話也不說。 

我的感言：真的很希望我有个美满的婚後生活。我会辛福吗？常对他说，当我们老的时候，我们一定要手牵手在花园里漫步。

Watermelon & Lychee Blast

I brought my best friend to Delicious at One Utama on 28th March 2009. I asked the waitress to introduce their best ordering drink to me. She suggested me to order Watermelon & Lychee Blast. So, I ordered it. Wow…It is a nice drink and I never thought that we could add Lychee in the watermelon juice. But it is very expensive and there was only 2 small Lychees in the drink. The original cost is RM9.90 [If I added the gov tax and service tax, it costs me RM11.385] .

(a) 1 watermelon around RM3.00 [RM0.75/kg watermelon at Carrefour, Klang. Can make for 7 glasses of 100% pure watermelon juice.

(b) A can of Lychee around RM3.50 [I bought a can of good quality Lychee. It had only 14 lychees in the can]

I can make 7 glasses of 100% pure watermelon juice with 2 big lychees in each glass. It is just cost me RM6.50. it is just around RM0.93 per glass. Wow…that means I can use RM11.385 to make around 14 glasses. Besides that, I can share the drinks among my family members. So, it is more worth if we could DIY drinks and make fun with family members at home.

红莲雪耳炖雪蛤(Snow Jelly and White Fungus Soup)

I’m very free today. So, I plan to boil “Snow Jelly & White Fungus Thong Shui” for my family members. I went to buy the ingredient from shop this morning.

2. Soak the snow jelly for 7 hours.

Time Management

Straight to the Point

1. Avoid the Long, Rambling To-Do List.

• Avoid enormous to-do lists without prioritization

2. Prioritize.

• Set priorities.
• Ask yourself what you have to do in the beginning of day and decide what you need to get done by the end of the day to move forward on some of your “Big Hairy Audacious Goals.”
• What’s red hot and time-specific?

3. Eat Your Spinach.

• Start to do fun tasks, or work on those things you are passionate about.
• [They] recharge your batteries and give you energy. But think of all the procrastination time you save when you tackle the tough stuff first.
• Know your times of highest output and maximize them.

4. Save Time for Murphy.

• “When you over-schedule your day, you create stress for yourself by not allowing time for Murphy’s Law—the inevitable and unforeseeable things that go wrong.” LaBrosse recommends leaving at least two hours of your workday unscheduled.

5. Reboot Your Brain.

• Get enough sleep

6. Know Where Your Time Is Going.

• If your boss asked you what you’ve been doing all week, could you answer? “If you don’t know where your time is going, spend a week logging it. Then evaluate the results.” Be sure to log all activities, even those not directly related to the job. After all, this is for your own personal improvement and should not be seen by anyone else. “This simple exercise will often give you insight into what you should not be doing.”

7. Do Similar Tasks in Concert.

• “When you group like tasks together, you can save an enormous amount of time and really get momentum going,” LaBrosse says. “Look at what you have to accomplish and set up the flow so that it builds logically and saves you having to back track.”

8. Make Technology Work for You.

• Automating or standardize the tasks wherever possible.
• Build an e-mail culture that works for your team and organization.

9. Make Meetings Matter.

• Should not hold a meeting if the issue can be resolved using e-mail, conference call or some other informal method.
• Get to the point and make the meeting matter.
• Everyone’s time is valuable, so no meeting should be called unless there is an agenda with clear objectives.
• Distribute the agenda in advance to allow attendees to prepare contributions and questions.

10. Take a Break.

• Exercise and stretching are critical to maximizing your time and making sure your brain is working at its peak performance

11. Use Passion to Recharge Your Batteries.

• Passion creates energy.
• Leaving space on your calendar for something that you love.

12. Get Professionally Trained.

• Invest some time in your professional development and thereby accelerate your career.
• beef up your skill set will help propel you forward.
• The first step is to be committed to making every minute count.

A collapsed tire

People start their job in the morning. But I start to write my blog in the morning. Haahaaa…..

I’m very tired and sleepy. I slept at 1 a.m yesterday night. There were many activities happen in yesterday night.

Activities

(a) My friend and I went to P.J SS2’s Night Market yesterday night. We also took our dinner there.

(b) My aunty and I visited my uncle in Subang Jaya Medical Center after my dinner. My uncle admitted to hospital because he has Dengue. A lot of people came to visit him like his daughter in law’s parents and his wine manufacturing staff. We have good time to chit chat together. Well, our noise was too loud and nurse came to ask us slow down our voice. My aunty and I went off around 10:45 p.m.

(c) I felt that my car a bit weird while I was driving back to my aunty’s house. I stopped my car in the nearest petrol station. Oh my God! My car tire had collapsed. Therefore, I went to ask help because I do not know how to change tire. An Indian man came to help me and change it. It was raining in yesterday night. But, I still stand next to my car and saw the Indian man to change my car tire. So, I get wet. I paid him RM10 after he has changed the tire.

Forgotten Day

It is raining day. I forget to bring my jacket. I hope I wouldn’t be cold later.

5:31p.m

I’m cold and get ready to go home. I also forget to bring my handphone.
