Memories from Bali

Here you go

Gain more

Have been thinking about making money lately. Yes, although now not lack of anything for living, but since still young no harm to gain more extra income and also gain experience. Brandon’s fren hav approach him in Lampe Berger and 1901 Hotdog franchise business. He still looking into it, but for LB we dun think to run it and has been trying very hard to reject his good fren invitation for the business preview. For myself, I’m pretty interested joining Shirlyn in making crystal accessories.

I wan to look for some business, which can do at my own pace and not required tight deadline. Shirlyn know about it, but we still haven’t really sit down n face to face discuss about it. Brandon fully supports me in doing it. I hope can get it starts soon, at least learn how to make the accessories first before any others. Now need to wait for Shirlyn when she is free to teach me.

Always see those who selling hawkers food very good in business. And hav been roughly calculating their income “daily income x by month” by selling a bowl of mee lets say.., some are having better income than a manager level / white collar. Anyway they hav been putting a lot of effort to gain the successful, is worthwhile. See ppl doing good but dunno how much I can handle if I were them.

Met after long time

Been attending 2 school frens wedding over the weekend. Very great to met some of them aft leaving school for 8 years. Well, some kind of not so closed feeling is there, cause some are merely schoolmate not tat keep in touch that kind, only know their names. Looking at each other the look doen't hav much changes, perhaps some status changed, some have been a mum, a wife and some are married soon. Very happy to see my fren one by one tied the knot, I'm counting wit one of my classmate. For TPian this year have 6 couples married, this including me.

For those with some contact once a while, we still able to chit-chat a lot, but for those not so closed, we only smile at each other :)

Bali Island

Thought I will get tanned during the trip, in fact not, coz do not hav enough time to stay at the beach.

Place visited: Batik printing house, Ubud wood art & woodcraft market, silver and gold market, Gua Lawah (bat caves), Monkey Forest, Tanah Lot, parasailing at Nusa Dua beach, Mt. Kintamani – Besakih mother temple, Mt. Bratan – lake temple

Weather: 29’C-32’C (sunset at 6.30pm, sunrise at 6am)

Money spend: RM1300 – 3,263,000rp. Free and easy trip tend to use more money than the tour lead trip.

Other activity: Spa (Balinese full body massage, body scrub, yogurt rub, flower bath, foot massage and facial wash), only RM145 (tax include..good! ..cheap too!), Kecak Dance - a dance without music, they make the performer make sound by themselve. This is dance for they praying ceremony.

Food: Basically the food still ok, mostly not spicy, rice still the main course. Popular with seafood at Jimbaran, lunch buffet facing the Mt. Batur and on the other day facing the lake at Mt. Bratan. Very cheap lunch buffet only RM 20+ per pax. Every restaurant charge different tax some 10 %, some 15%, some no tax. Better ask before u place ur order.

People, Culture & Nation: A country for holiday and relaxation with beautiful sun and Indian Ocean. Tourist mainly came from Australia, Europe and Japan. 7 aircraft touch down at Ngurah Rai airport within 2 hours. Can see that this country is brought up by the tourist. A very strong religious island, everywhere can see the stone craft of their God and they see praying is important than any other things. Many ppl there selling and making stone craft and wood crafting of anything, from furniture, god faces, human, animal…etc... No doubt their crafting work are fine. Almost the small village main activity is crafting. Their Bahasa speaking is slightly different than us. Some Bahasa term they not able to understand ours one. At tourist spot, those business ppl can speak Japanese too. Their attitude are quite kind and well manner. Their building not taller than a coconut tree, believe that it will be safe from disaster. No highway or toll. All roads are small and narrow, but their driving still is very good. Hardly found broken and old vehicle. Infrastructure is not that well. Taxi only go round the city area, outskirt they dun go. That’s why must hire a tour guide to bring you go around. Some young kids who not afford to go to school they worked in the temple. They more willing to work then study. Can’t see any beggar on the street or small villages.

Will upload more pic in my album soon.

Bali preparation

Tomolo we will be off to the beautiful Bali island. Since last week, Brandon have been busy digging out all the Bali info, place of interest and what to do..from Internet and some print info we got from my cousin...free and easy with planning is good, so that no need to search during we are there, directly we follow the itenery which set, make sure we really spend the time valuably and can visit more places. Checking from the list we have, the place we stay have lots of restaurant, nightlife and bars, shopping spots and spa. Basically our plan have covered all these. The only thing we not have enough time is to visit more places. We only able to plan to go volcano, Canggu/Kuta beach, Ubud, Tanah Lots. There are many others more.

US n Rupiah rate hav been flactuate during the weekend. Rupiah is kinda hard to get in KL city and the rate was not really ideal. US rate drop a bit. Hav collect some mouth info from frens too about do n don't as Bali is a strong culture n religious island.

Lastly hopefully our family can enjoy the trip and hav a great time to get together again. Will update more about the trip once I'm back.

Happiness continue...

Till today I only realizes that, I’m still the top winner for the cash game. Out of my expectation, MyFM even take my voice from the call to make the promo ad. 2 of my friends have heard it n called to inform me abt that before this and yesterday night finally I heard it myself…listen back to it so funny..The ad not out so frequently only 2 or 3 times a day, very hard to catch it…if u heard the ad mention cash game successful case for RM1400, that’s my voice there la…

Wow..!! first time in my life hav such great luck achievement. Continually 2 nights not really sleep well..too happy already…Feeling happy can really make ones feel contented and I really feel myself like floating in the air…hahaha…I dunno, I really can’t control myself….my mind hyperactive. My fren even said I siao siao a bit, that day during body step class I keep smile n smile on my face…and she also happy abt it..and she smile together with me…haha…

Those fren who know about it of coz can’t run away from their call for treating them to eat. Well ok la…I will share my happiness wit u all….pls wait ya…

That day during gym, I just told Stephanie about the mooncake coming this year in the market, having lots of flavour, especially the Tai Thong Mooncake…wah..so tempted. Besides that, I also wan to try Haagen Daz mooncake, which look special, delicious n tempted too. 1 pc cost RM25. I even told her is a bit expensive la… now she in turn ask me to treat her, she having the “mouth luck” …hahah…

Win Win..lucky me!

If u listen to MyFM, you’ll know since yesterday there is a cash game show, whereby at certain hour the DJ will call u and u can win cash money. A game sponsor by ING Insurance. I have SMS registered myself since the game promo ad on-air during the weekend. I just throw my luck again, as I said in my life I never hav this kind of lucky draw for prizes’s luck. I just sent in just to put a hope that I will win something. I know again the chances are damn low..millions of ppl to pick from.

The game rules is like this. The DJ will call u, when u pick up ur phone, u can’t mention any “Hello”, which is very common to start ur phone conversation. U need to be alert and directly mention the “MyFM tagline”, then u r eligible to win RM100, followed by if u can mention “I.N.G” for 3 times another RM100 is for u. So a total of RM200 is in ur hand. Plus, if that particular hour is bonus hour, u will get an extra RM700. So, in summary if tagline and ING being mention, for not bonus hour = RM200, bonus hour = RM900. If you mention “Hello” upon answer the call, RM200 will accumulated to the next lucky winner.

Yesterday night got home from gym, took my rest as usual, browsing Internet and check mails before went to bed. Actually I was so tired until my eyes almost closed when reading emails and thought wanted to shut off the pc and went to bed already. At that time I’m not on my radio, coz do not used to on plus Brandon already sleep like a baby at that time. I just alone doing my stuff at another room.

So, since I registered for the game, day n night I listen to the radio and grad hold my phone wherever I go. And also alert all the incoming call number, make sure it is either “Withheld” or number start with 03-9543..”Withheld” displayed normal are those calls from private or hidden number.

Yesterday night 11.45pm, while charging my cellphone, it rings. I take a look at the number display it is “Withheld”. I paused a while not answer directly, quickly in my mind I told myself, is this the call I waiting for? I’m so lucky ah? So, dun care la..just press the answer button. Upon picking up, the other party was quiet, so I just mention out the tagline, then the DJ Fan Bin said: “Congratulation! U win urself RM100!” then not waiting any longer I mention “ING, ING, ING” wow…he told me win another RM100. I was so so surprise and my whole body was in cold sweat, shivering, excited, laugh n happy…n I scream to him…wow…really so surprise…

He continue asked me: “Do you know how much u have win?”I said: “Yeah I wan to know, how much? Faster tell me!” I was talking in shivering n laughing, coz one side excited, one side was unexpected happiness. Too bad la..Brandon that time slept already, he can’t see how I get excited.

He said: “You have total win urself RM600 from the accumulated”. I screamed: “Wow!!!....thank you thank you.” “Plus we will give u another extra RM100”. I screamed again: “Wow!! RM700!!”. My tiers almost falls from my eyes and can’t stop laughing.

He continue: “Not only that, this hour is bonus hour, mean u know how much u can get?”. I said: “Another RM700 and total up RM1400!” I continued to scream and scream and it is unbelievable that I’m the lucky one!.

Aft he took down my personal details, we continued to chit-chat for a while. At that time I still can’t get myself to cool down and I can’t describe those sudden surprise comes to me… He told me he is having so many names n numbers and he dunno which to pick, happen that my name comes at the last one in the list, so he picked that n called me…Imagine yesterday was the first day only. Oh my God…so easy RM1400 cash in your hand just giv u like that, with just few words u need to mention…without doing anything in compete…I still thinking how come is me…as last evening when on the way to gym, I told Brandon I just registered to join the game and he even told me won’t b so easy n lucky can b selected, so many ppl…and we even discuss over it, on how to tackle the number we received and what to say when the call is in n etc…our conversation was just like a pre-practice to me.

After I hang up the call, I SMS my close cousins to tune in to the radio and listen to my scream on-air. Can’t wait the edited playback on the radio. Aft 2 songs my scream voice on-air. Wow, I was like..ahh…dunno..i dunno how to say la…

My cousins called me aft the on-air playback n we chit-chat for awhile, she feel happy for me…one of my college fren also listen at that hour as well and she also called to congrat. They so envy for I can simply win a large amount of money. They said how come I so lucky…my this college fren 4 years ago also listening when I won movie tickets….ohh…it was just so great!!

Yesterday night I can’t even sleep tight…too excited liow…coz the happy stream just flow in my mind n body…Before laying down I SMS my dad n bro to tell them this good news…and my dad congrats me too…today I still feel energetic..not sleepy at all…I still stick to MyFM and listen to other lucky one.

I still dunno how to spend this money until I get it. Brandon finally registered himself thru SMS. Friends, if u wan to stand a chance faster SMS now. Key in “MYREG(space)ur name” eg. “MYREG JUDY CHOW” and send to 32366. Upon register u will get a confirmation message. Aft registered, tune to it and hold ur phone tightly and u will be the next lucky one.

Carnival TV3

Last weekend quite busy coz FIL not around. This time he went to Taipei, Taiwan for holiday. Hopefully they can enjoy the trip in peace. Although Taipei was not the city storm by the “Taily” wind.

Karnival TV3 was at my area this round. Heaps of crowd visited and causes traffic jam and road block. Well…the situation was expected, nothing was so surprise and frustrated. It held at the carpark outside Bukit Jalil stadium. I took this opportunity to visit, just walk 5 mins across the road. Booths available are like Maxis Hotlink, P&G, Maggi, DutchLady, Dewan Bahasa, Zoo Negara, Naza Motor, Maybeline, Munchy’s, KFC n etc…Many lelong and good deal around, all other booths many sold malay foods and drinks and also live performances.

Sunday night before the carnival call it an end, fireworks again was lighted up the stadium, it was just popping up above my apartment, watching it for 15 mins..just love the firework sensation.

Holiday

At 12.00am sharp look outside from my bedroom window spotted 4 places light up with fireworks..although enjoy it from far but the firework and the event does boost the Merdeka count down celebration. Aft tat, bed-time..wake up the next morning 9am…can’t sleep too late as the body clock set to 6.30am.

Wake up clean the house then went out to have dimsum breakfast at Tmn. Connaught. As usual holiday everywhere is full of ppl. Met a fren there also having their dimsum..see the world is just small…went to Leisure Mall aft half an hour. Initially wan to go fitness and met up Brandon’s classmate. At the end, not going to fitness, coz spend too long listen to his to shared about a business plan…this fren of him very secret, in the phone he do not wan tell what kind of business he wanted to shared. Upon met up he and his teammate were along…main issue is not talking abt the plan yet, but is all about what is ur dream to achieve in ur life n chit-chatting…bla bla bla…then only we know they wan to introduce us Lampe Berger business…They do not told us directly what is the plan all about, bringing us to turn big round abt the dream, quite boring to listen to them for 2 hours..and Brandon at last can’t go for his Body Pump class.

To me, MLM business structure is not suit for us or long run, as my past experience in Omegatrend, I found myself really not into it…even I work very hard in it for a few months, of coz I understand if I really put in my whole effort to aim for it, sure one day I still can achieve what I wan. But my mind and heart told me that I’m not into it, I still prefer something more realistic, I dun wan to force myself. As Brandon said, imagine the whole world is master by MLM marketing, so whose going to be the end consumer and from where the money going to flow into ur structure?

Aft this section, outside was raining, so we went over to Cheras Plaza Neway to sing K. Just 2 of us sing for 3.5 hours non-stop until voice half gone…hahaha…then we went home..Cook some pork porridge to sooth the throat..that’s my holiday!
