Expats Can Get Condo Loans From Bangkok Bank

Some friends of mine asked why didn’t we buy a house in Bangkok now since we have long term plan there. Actually, it’s not easy for any foreigner to own a property in Bangkok, especially landed property. I know that it’s an area called the foreigner zone which is meant for foreigners to buy houses [...]

No More Insurance

I met with a friend today, and little that I know, she is working as an insurance agent now. Like most insurance agents, she’s keen to introduce me to all the insurance plans which best suit my age and needs, but I told her frankly that I am not interested in getting any policies here [...]

Taking A Break

I will be meeting with my friends for movie tomorrow and it’s something I haven’t done for years. All my movies were watched with hubby and I can’t remember the last time I had movie with a friend! Hubby was pretty surprised when I told him about our plans too, but he said it’s [...]

Happy Birthday to WordPress

WordPress is turning 5 years old on 27th May, which is only a few hours away. There is a party in San Francisco at 111 Minna at 9pm, but I wonder if there’s any party for WordPress here in Malaysia? LOL!
Most of my friends are using WordPress and I haven’t tried other platforms for [...]

All Packed!

 I’ve just done packing up 6 boxes of books, shoes and toys which will be moved to Bangkok. Thank god I have a maid and 2 little helpers, so it’s not that hard to get things done in 3 hours. These boxes will take about a month to reach Bangkok, but there’s nothing urgent in [...]

Being Idle

Branding

We haven’t finalized the company’s name and logo, and I really don’t know why it takes so long for this decision to be made. Personally, I don’t think it’s hard to think of a name which sounds good in both English and Thai. Besides that, it’s all about Branding. If you know how to brand [...]

All Completed

I didn’t spend as much time online recently so I lost a lot of opportunities in grabbing opps. But just now, I managed to complete some paid posts with 2 interims in between for each of them, so it’s pretty time consuming. Maybe I haven’t done this for some time, and my brain is rather [...]
