Just an Update

May 30, 2008 | 5 Comments

Today is the ‘Big Day’ for my nephew Timmy! He is getting married today! With all the buzz going around for the past week, finally all these will come to a Grand Finale today! Due to the overwhelming response from our extended family all of us have to pull accomodation resources to accomodate all the friends and relatives for this occassion.

Perhaps due to the school holidays being in season now, many of our distant relatives and friends are able to come to Kuala Lumpur for the Wedding Ceremony today at 11am! We too, are so excited that we are unable to sleep and getting ready for the day’s excitement! In a way we are glad that after tonight’s dinner reception, and the relatives returning to their home towns tommorrow, we can catch up with the much needed rest, peace and quiet again.

A Wedding is always a happy occassion and so our family grows with an addition of Deborah, the bride but also her family becoming part of our extended family. Expect today to be a long happy day with a buzz of activities starting with the Church Ceremony, Buffet Lunch, Tea Ceremony, Photo Session and the Dinner Reception tonight! Wow! See ya next week!

Your Age and Eating Out!

May 21, 2008 | 19 Comments

It looks like I am in for a busy time and it means possibly MIA until the end of the month! Going to miss all of you lovely folks! Just before I disappear, I have this amazing game or little piece of maths that shows a direct correlation between your current age and the number of times you would like to eat out! What is even more astounding is that it ONLY works in this year i.e. 2008! Why? Heck! I don’t know better ask the mathematicians! Anyway here is the game, and hope you enjoy it.

1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to go out to eat. (more than once but less than 10).

2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)


3. Add 5


4. Multiply it by 50


5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1758…


If you haven’t, add 1757.


6. Now subtract the four-digit year that you were born.


You should have a three digit number.

The first digit was your original number. (I.e., How many times you want to go out to restaurants in a week.)

The next two numbers are

YOUR AGE ! —— (Oh YES, it is!)

Leave your comments please, to let me know whether it works! Thanks and see ya soon!

Car Breakdown

May 18, 2008 | 7 Comments

Just about a month ago, my nephew’s car broke-down! He and his fiance were stranded somewhere on a secondary road between Kuala Lumpur and Ipoh. He managed to call for some help and it turned out to be the automatic-transmission had keeled over or ‘kaput’ so to say. His car was quite new, in fact only three years old and I can never imagine this to happen! Well it seems that modern cars auto-transmission or gearbox are designed this way and needed to be changed every five years or so!

The cost of replacing the automatic-transmission was around $15,000.00 in my nephew’s case. My brother-in-law changed his just a few months back and it costs him $25,000.00! His car was five years old then. Wow! never in my widest imagination to hear of such parts are so very expensive and on top of that every 5 years? If this happened to my car, I would rather go for recycled parts! Hey! for most folks any car thats over 5 years old is time to get a new one! The reason is simply maintenance costs would be sky rocketing for cars thats above 5 years old!

So if you intend to keep yours for a little longer past age 5, try midwest auto recycling! You may save a bundle as down-payment for your new car!

One Click Credit Application

May 17, 2008 | 1 Comment

Having gone through the experience of applying for a credit-card for my daughter recently, I can safely say that there are many online credit services to choose from as there are numerous Institutions, Banks that offers Credit to individual consumers. Have you heard of Credit-Land? It is one such online service that turns your shopping for credit cards an easy one-click process.

Here are some of the salient points that are worth noting:-

  • Relevant track record and experience with Financial Institutions like Banks, Mutual Funds and Brokerage Houses.
  • Offers Total Money Management Initiative which deals directly with consumers.
  • Proprietary One-click Application Process online.
  • They rank credit Cards.
  • No red-tapes and cut-out legalities involved with Bank procedures.
  • Offers Bottom Line Deals with no fine prints on foot notes.

A visit to their website will illustrate the simplicity of the application process for anyone intending to search for a credit card suited to his or her current status or financial needs. Navigating through the various Options and Offers is painlessly easy with terms and conditions clearly spelled out.

One particular category that interest me is the Zero Percent Credit Card tenable over a period of 6 months to 12 months and with cash-back! I believe this will be the card to go for since you can purchase what you needed right now, without the worries of compounded interest charges as you pay back by monthly repayments.

You can have Student Cards for High School or College; Cash Rebates Cards, Frequent flyer Cards etc. One Card that catches my eye is the Anne Geddes Card! My eldest daughter used to work for Anne Geddes in Auckland at one time.

There are too many Options and Selections to be mentioned here. So if you want to find a Credit Card of your choice meeting your financial needs, check them out and you will be amazed by the one click application process!
