Rants of life

I don’t have a bank account here but sooner or later, we will have to open an account for our money. I think I better keep some money in the bank instead of spending it off on shopping trips! I haven’t tried online Savings Account before, but it seems like WaMu will be one of [...]

I don’t have much to invest in options or rare coin right now, but if I have more money to spare in the future, I would certainly do so. Most of our money is reserved or used for our new life and business in Bangkok, so we can’t possibly spend it on something else, even [...]

My friend had just told me this afternoon that her father is launching a power saving plan at home. No fan or air-con is allowed to be switched on if no one is using it. Her children should be taught on how to turn them off if they are leaving the room too. Actually, I [...]

I found out about the increase of petrol price yesterday evening, and all of a sudden, everyone around me was rushing to the petrol kiosks immediately. Hubby came to pick me up and like the rest of the crowd, he headed for the petrol station too. Thank god our truck is using diesel so there [...]

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 [...]

I might not be the best person to give advice about credit cards as I don’t owe the banks a lot of money. If I don’t shop, I don’t use my cards, but if I’m using one, I will pay off the debt on time instead of the monthly minimum payment. Some friends of mine [...]

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 [...]

I thought of going shopping later today and get more stuffs for myself, but yesterday morning, I received a call from the bank that my credit card was misused for an online transaction. They have no choice but to stop the transaction and cancel my card. Gee…I have some credit in there which I meant [...]

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 anymore, [...]

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 [...]
