Make Use Of Credit Cards

My new credit card arrived yesterday but I was not around to accept it. I made a call this morning and the postal company will send it to me again. I still have other credit cards with me, so there is no urgent in receiving my replacement card. As the matter of fact, I’m thinking [...]

Wearing Watches

Both hubby and I don’t wear watches. I stopped wearing since I got pregnant while hubby thinks it’s too troublesome to have something on his wrist he has to take off for golf! However, I think it looks more professional if you are wearing the right watch to work. Most of the time, it shows [...]

Searching For A Company Name

We have done most of the preparation and now we have to think of a new name of the division of the company. It’s best to have it separated from BIL’s existing company since the operation and products are totally different. It would be easier to manage the accounts and capital too. The thing is, [...]

No Broadband Yet

I thought I will have my own broadband here tonight, but too bad they won’t set it up until 4 days later. I couldn’t communicate with the technician from Buddy this morning, and he had to wait for more than 30 minutes for my translator aka SIL to come over and talk to him. When [...]

The Drive To Work

I don’t consider myself as having a job as I don’t feel like I’m working these days, especially since the moment I quit my previous business. Blogging did bring me some money though, but it’s not my career path. LOL! I guess I might have to go back to working again if I’m helping hubby [...]

Setting Up The Company

We still haven’t set up the company precisely yet as there are other issues which we are dealing now and everything takes time to be solved. We already have our customer base, but we are hoping to build more and run the business as soon as possible. However, for tax purposes and due to visa [...]
