Server Down

 I was in the midst of publishing my post and my server was down for a while. I really hate it when the server is down when I need to blog, but there’s nothing much I can do about it except waiting and waiting. I’m still thinking if I should set up the company […]

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.

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 […]

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.

Smoking At Workplace

I’m doing my study at hubby’s office most of the time now and it’s like my second home in Bangkok. Like all working places, there are rules meant to be followed, like when or where to smoke for the smokers. I’ve just come back from a smokey toilet where a stupid worker smoked in […]

I almost made a mistake of canceling my insurance policy which involves a life insurance plan as well. I pay more for investment since I am hoping to get more from the returns. However, we will start a new life here in Bangkok and I can’t use insurance coverage for hospitalization and personal accidents […]

Pretty Thai Girls

During my stay in Bangkok, I noticed that there are lots of beautiful young girls around me who have the potential to be a model. I’m not sure if they have gone through plastic surgery as it’s pretty common here, but as long as they still look great, what’s the harm about it?

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 […]

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 […]
