More for Expats

 We went to pick up hubby’s eyeglasses from an optical shop yesterday, and as usual we were pleased with the service. Most of the time, we will get a friendlier service here since we are expats. But then, we found out that we have paid more for the glasses! BIL bought a pair of glasses [...]

Shopping vs Saving

I’m a shopaholic who enjoys shopping for clothes, shoes and bags. If I don’t spend that much every month, I should be able to save up a lot and use that money for investment. I am not sure if I will make a profit in the future, but investing in shares or rare coin is [...]

Blogging Freak

Oh ya, I have been blogging like a freak all day long. We only go to the office half a day this week, so I have more time for blogging. Hubby is happily practicing his swings at golf range and my kids are still at school. What a lovely afternoon to be spent all by [...]

Still Lost at Facebook

I’m a facebook idiot and even if I signed up as soon as I heard about it, I hardly check out what is Facebook all about and why is everyone so addicted to it. I have some friends at Facebook, but I don’t do much then adding them and reading their messages. Gosh, I’m so [...]

Word Count

I like my blogs which are hosted with WordPress. You can simply upload some practical plugins and publishing posts with WordPress is a bliss. I have some blogs with Blogger, but one thing I don’t like about it is I can’t do word count. Maybe I have no idea how to do so in blogspot, [...]

No Bloodshed Please

The moment I logged on to internet yesterday, my friends had started beeping me through MSN asking about the condition in Bangkok. I know about the demonstration but I didn’t know things got bad on Tuesday morning until I read the news. If I’m staying around the city, I would be flying back home for [...]

Website Not Ready

 I’m still waiting for our company website to be ready, but it might take a little longer than expected. I can’t do the coding by myself, and thus I hired a webmaster to do it for me. Furthermore, I simple don’t have to time to linger with HTML despite on how much I would like [...]

Hired Someone

Our first sales executive has started working for days, and so far so good. We are satisfied with him showing the initiative to learn about our products since he doesn’t have experience in technical industries. He is good at selling medical supplies previously, so if he is willing to learn about our new products, and [...]
