Image via Wikipedia I’ve got transferred to a new place again. I do not know to decide whether it is good for me or not. I see both pro and cons… but so far I like this new place except I miss certain things at old place and there are many adjustments I have to make. Mostly I miss my freedom. Used to be I live alone, rent a house and now I live with my parents. Well, live alone you responsible to yourself and you are free to do anything you want but with family, you have to work and live harmoniously with others. I sound like it is a horrible thing, isn’t?   well like most things it has pro and cons.. Some people find it so easy to adjust to new place, but not me… I find it hard and tedious. It will take me months before I fully adjusted to a new place. I should be used to it considering I have more from many places over the past years. I’m not shock anymore, but it thrills me… and I found out I more confidence in the new place considering t...

Image via Wikipedia oh oh, who want to attarct the things that we do not like? Why it happen that way? Well because..... We kept thinking about it, and that's why it coming to us. Apparently the universe do not understand the word do not, don't... what matter is the subject matter of the things. Say that I do not like this particular brand, but as my mind and heart kept talking and thinking about it, and then.... the thing that I do not like coming and happen to me. Yes... it is true. For the past month, I do not like this particular brand, even though I do not have good reason, but I just don't. But as my heart kept giving reasons for not good things of this brand, turn out, I kept buying things from this brand. oh Oh.... Then I understand that the more I hate the thing, the more I will keep thinking about it and it will attarct, thus make me become closer to the things and make me buy it... Very bad discovery. Actually I read about this in Law of attraction few mont...

Sometimes the things you see is not that only, there can be a stories behind it. Example, received a present from someone you believe that hardly gives you anything. Well, apparently the person do not give the present just out of curiosity, but because there is this hidden messages behind it. Maybe the giver wants you to accompany him or her to some place. The giver might not say it directly or maybe a week later or maybe a month later, but the good deed that the person has bestowed upon you should be replied by agreeing to his or her wishes. By this way if you reject it, you will be haunted by the feeling of guilty. In my case, ohh... i do not know what to explain. I do not even know who to trust. What you see is not exactly what that is. But it is ok, it is all in the past now. Now it is new beginning for me... A new place and a new experiences awaiting me.... yes.. It is like I never encounter new places and new experiences, the experiences doesn't scare me, but I kind felt ...

Do you like buying things online? I thought I have passed that stage, and yet it coming at the full force. It happen beginning two weeks ago, where I was looking for a camera and it so hard to find the one that I satisfied. The cost of finding that is nearly 100, because I have to ask my neighbour to accompany me as I'm not familiar with the place. Of course I have to treat her to nice meal after accompany me, right? But the journey produce no result, so what I did was, I open the laptop and looking through the internet for a good camera. I search and read here and there diligently. Finally I've come to my conclusion and bought this camera. The weird thing is that when I compare the price here and oversea, it cheaper to buy oversea. Well, free postage too. I bought it from ebay. So, now I'm a proud owner of Canon s95. Still learning about it, and but as for now I am very satisfied.  This morning, again I make another purchasing. Kind ironic since I said to myself to be...

In my quest to find how to be rich, to be financially independent, to be able to settel my loans fast, I discover, no magic formula, except that I found this harsh word that is FRUGALITY.  I have to live frugally in order to achieve my financial goals. That's goes my dreams to do so many things if I want to achieve my financial goals. It makes me felt very sad and burden. As much as I wan to do and have so many things, I have to delay it until I really stable. Thinking back, the loans that I have now already burdensome to me, I cannot adding more debts.  Then, the other important matter is discipline. It takes a lot of discipline to achieved my goals. But my questions is, should I sacrifice to the extent of making me feels miserable, as long as I follow this rule? Like example, I have a problem with housemate, so I decided to stay alone, and I know I save money more if I share, but it will make me miserable as my previous experiences has taught me very bitter experiences. ...

It is something like this, would you put price on the things you do? I heard a saying there is nothing free in this world, so, based on this saying, isn’t it means that I also have to put price on the things that I do? But thinking back, it cannot be done that way. Not everything can be measure with price. But being too nice is also can be backfire. Let say, you do free of charge for everything you do for this one person, let say that this person is your best friend, and suddenly that person stab you in the back, would you feel hurt and start to questioned back your help to that person? Maybe people with strong heart will say, past is past, just let go, still, the experience will taught you something. Build a defence mechanism so, when something happen your heart will not feel too hurt.  I’ve been in this situation, and somehow I felt necessary. It is not wrong to be really sincere, but it just when people start taking advantage of that sinc...
