Frozen in time and money!

Working so far has been an enjoying adventure filled with ups and downs. But I cannot deny the glitter in me when it's the end of the month; pay day!

Yes we do deserve what we earn and we have to reward ourselves with the efforts we put in!

However, it also would be wise to save money! I know this sounds like advise coming from some senior but this did strike me where I am heading to in terms of financial stability.

As ussual, I started Googling tips on how to save money. Save money and earn money is different!

What certainly striked me was a rather unussual but somewhat interesting tip. Most of my finding on Google blame credit cards for the reason why people over-spend.

The tip was to place your credit card into a tupper -ware and fill the tupper- ware (yes and the card with safe water) and cover the tupper-ware with the lid.

Once done, put the tupper-ware in the freezer!!!

Leave for 3 hours and then look at it. Frozen credit card!

The reason for this is to disable the use of the card, hence, saving money!

Alternatively, maybe we can train the mine to save and spend wisely.
The credit card is still useful no doubt in emergency situations.

From this to that...

The week began with my introduction to the delivery team the ETA team. ETA @ estimated time of arrival for Dell orders to Australia and New Zealand.

Thursday was badminton and Bukit Dumbar. I hadn't played badminton in like 1 year plus. Was really tiring and really sweated. I don't think I have sweat like that in a long time.

Friday was dinner / tea time appointment with Daryl and Hazel. Agenda : Pigs spare parts soup at Penang Road. RM 6.50 per bowl would get you bee hoon soup with pigs brains, liver, intestine and other scrumptous "spare parts". It was good. Went to fetch my Operations Manager and headed to Northam Cafe for ikan bakar, dim sum, rojak and sausages. Basically tit-bits. Then went to Screwball to play foose ball with Michelle, Hazel's sister. It was really good coz get to practice with beginner as well. Then pool with Daryl. Lucky you Daryl. There is always next time! :P

Then dropped everyone home before proceed to Church Street cafe for Carie's bday beer session.

The next day woke up to my mom complaining to me for 2 hours about my bro's new baby-sitter who left. Skip the details! :)

Went online and chilled until 12.30 pm before heading to Gurney with Steven Lo for lunch and then went window shopping. Nothing much also lah coz sale finish mah. Btw, I haven't been to Gurney in 3 months. I am becoming the average guy who only goes shopping when there is a need. Haha!

Then hung out at Coffee Bean with my couz as Steven had to go home. Lepak at the new Coffee Bean at G-hotel.

Went home , ON notebook then slept. Woke up, mandi, went to church with mom and aunt.

Came home and online again with me and my mom figuring out on Google Earth which part of Gibraltar my aunt is staying. Lost and inaccurate description.

11pm tampal my Myvi stickers and went for the TT in greenlane. Agenda: Round the island tour at midnight. It was kinda like Initial D the movie with dark bending roads and dangerous corners. Said a little prayer and safely reached Teluk Bahang Dam. Lepak there 1 hour and then came home at 2.45 am to update you guys. :P
