Dents on my car!

My car got hit within the first week we got it, and that accident was “unavoidable” as it’s not my mistake. I stopped the car on an emergency break, but the truck behind me could not stop in time and banged into my car! It was not a bad hit though, but we got to [...]

Looking for a job

I’m trying to get a job if possible here, but it’s not going to be easy. Firstly, I can’t speak Thai, so that’s my major obstacle. Being out from the workforce for years is not helping either, and I doubt that I can go back to engineering. LOL!
But I’ll take my time to do a [...]

Who Spends More?

Personally, I feel that women are bigger spenders than men, but we spend differently. Just tell a woman that she can look younger by 10 years with an anti aging product, most likely she will buy it, even if it cost her a bomb! Let’s not forgetting about shoes and bags and jewelry. All these [...]

Selling Coffee Online

FIL asked if I can set up a store for him to sell his weight loss product. It’s actually coffee, but added with some ingredients which might help in losing weight. Not that I’m not convinced, but I don’t think one can lose weight alone with coffee!
It takes more than a cup of coffee a [...]

Opps…I have a store!

I’ve almost forgotten about my store. I didn’t sell anything yet, and I didn’t have time for it for the past few days! LOL!
Selling clothes online in Thailand will be a bit hard as you can easily get wholesale clothes, if you know where to get one. The price is so cheap, you will be [...]

Eye Cream

A good eye wrinkle cream can be quite expensive but it’s a necessity for me. I can’t live without my eye cream, unless I am on a holiday and I prefer to pack light.
Aging effect is unavoidable, unless you are born with good genes and take a good care of yourself. So, for ordinary woman [...]

No Shopping Much for CNY

Inflation kicks in again and I don’t think we will spend a lot on the coming Chinese New Year. My kids and I have new clothes every now and then, so it’s not necessary to get more just for the occasion. But maybe I will get some for hubby, I’m always the one who shops [...]

Spending on Facial Treatments

I’m tempted to visit the skin clinic with SIL this month, after seeing how much radiant her skin is after a year of special treatment. The treatments are not cheap though, but its effect is way much better than anti wrinkle face cream. It’s skin laser, and it does make a big different!
I wonder if [...]

Risk Taker

It’s funny that some people are trying to make money online, but they are not putting in the effort and time. Nothing comes easy, even if you are trying to make some few bucks from the internet. Pay Per Click is quite new, to me at least, but I’m willing to give it a try. [...]

Business Plans

I can’t talk much about our biz with hubby as he’s very stubborn and thinks that he knows what he’s doing. But then, BIL just had a talk to him and I’m glad that he put some sense into hubby. Hubby is too soft in biz, and he’s not aggressive enough. Some times, [...]
