Financing Headaches....

*Can't believe I left my blog idle for over a year?! Has it been that long?*

Today my ex-collegue approached me to invest in a more agressive unit trust with at least 20% return. Existingly I already have myPublic Mutual, super safe one with returns as well but minimal returns. So I guess its makes sense to balance out the portfolio with some safe and some agressive.

At this moment, I am quite happy with my finances I guess. Comfortable. I get to buy myself something pretty once in a while and I am also saving. Though I've been working for 7 years already, I've just managed to get my finances sorted out.

1. 6 months saving of commitments - checked
2. credit card at minimal -checked
3. house (well half a house since I am sharing with Ter) - checked
4. life insurance (those ivestment linked ones, thanks to Kev)- checked
5. investment in unit trust (monthly contributions, but not alot, working on it) - checked
6. ???

In future what do I want? Or how else should I build wealth? Maybe not so much of wealth but more of for our retirement or my early retirement (hehehe while Ter still works), or our future children's education? Or for so that our future children doesn't have to work as hard as the us?

Shares?
Well I am not the speculating type and I guess I am scared to lose my hard earn money.. probably long term in blue chip companies to to reap the dividends?

Other properties?
Nowadays to own a home is so bloody expensive. If you don't have at least RM500k, no talk (mind you, this is probably in the outskirts of KL too). This past 2009/10, property prices doubled or more.. prices are crazy.. but I would like to own a couple more to have some passive income for when I retire next time.. when I have the means first la.. I already have an existing homeloan which finishes when I retire...

Foreign currency?
Well, Pounds (averagely RM 5 to 1Pound) and USD (averagely RM3 to USd1) are at low. It would be nice to change and keep and wait till the rates go up again to RM7 and RM3.8 respectively. But unfortunately, I don't have that kinda cash to tie up for so long...

Hmmm... so tell me what else can I do? Something bit by bit... Maybe I should start investing in lottery tickets and hope to win that JACKPOT of RM15 million??!! muahhahahahah *dr. evils pinky on lips action*

extract from my Starbucks Planner
21 April 2010
Wenesday 1.50pm

Dear Planner,

I need to vent. I am sitting here at my own workstation.. on STRIKE! Yes, you heard me alright, on strike with an army of, well, just me! I don't want to do my work though I have tons of it pilling up and I am just staring my computer.. Whenever anyone walks by "LLB" mode (fyi, its short for Look Like Busy) How sad is that when you come to this point in your career?

Let's see.. how did it come to this?

1. Definitely the stripping me of all my fb, chatting, shopping online, blogging privileges and cetera.. MY Laptop, I meant the COMPANY's laptop I am using was instructed to be hooked up to the server. Which mean the beginning of all site being filtered and no administrative power.. i feel, sniff.. i feel like I've been amputated!!
2. Also definitely the "do not use company's time to do your personal thing" comment on my appraisal. FUCK you man, how about the times when YOU go home after lunch to shower and come back? How about the times YOU go to the market and back during office hours and start parading all your fresh meat, fresh vege.. fresh whatever shitla.. UGH so sick.. yes I am resentful but all because of you being to hypocritical.
3. Ahh.. and the trying to be mutual attitude, the angelic face everybody sees but behind it all its a control BITCH that no one sees.. yes the Queen of Heart.. OMG get me outta here! If things don't go your way, just shove them down their throats..

As the days goes by, the more I feel like packing up and leave. Well I guess that's me. I tried to think the best of things, tried to look at the brighter side, tried to be positive.. but at the end of the day when it hits me, its already up to my head.. who am I trying to fool? I feel like puking everyday but everyday I have to hold it in or just swallow it :(

Dear God,

You know what is best for me. I do know that this is not what's best for me cause I am not happy. Well, so I think I know me. But please.. something better to come my way. Oh ya, A.S.A.P. Thank you.

forgotten how disappointment felt..

and its more than any heart could take..

yes we shall drink and smoke till it all goes away..

till it fades into a distant memory..

then forgotten..

and life still goes on..

tit-le-less

i just tot that that was funny... titless which i meant title less...

ok i am aware that its not funny anymore when you spell out the joke...

so, since my close friends has left and desserted me.. i told them to keep their blog updated so that i can still be part of their lives.. but in a different way i.e. reading about it and seeing pics... so its only fair that i did my part on updating my blog too... so here a start after such a long time.. heee..

hmmm... so lets see... friday night... mmmm nothing much since i can't really remember what the hell did i do... oh ya, i cooked dinner stayed home and watched Ghost Town... now everytime i neeze i think that a spirit in walking through me!!! saturday i spent the whole morning at Old Town PJ looking for lil glass jars as my wedding favors... couldn't find anything but instead, spent 120 bucks on utter nonsense..

i bought..

1. one tall glass jar

2. one fat glass jar

3. 2 small glass jars for my salt and sugar

4. another 2 glass jars for i have no idea what.. it is just very pretty, i guess just for show then

5. one "kopi" style teapot for flowers (been eyeing on it, pretty?)

6. one microwave cover
7. one stainless steel pot with lid to boil eggs

then, i went all the way to kota damansara to jeek's tailor to sew my cheongsam.. hehe excited.. even the sketching looks nice :) ok, a bit too much but hey... which bride to be isn't? as Miss Tailor was taking my measurements i was hmmm.. a lil embarassed.. one i had sweaty umpits and she was measuring my chest, yes i apologised for it.. and two i told her that i was wearing like super padded bra la just to make sure that when the end product is ready, it won't be loose at that area... humph!! but luckily i told her that and she said she will sew paddings for me.. and yes i DO need them.. no looking like i haven't hit puberty ok..

Sunday was Easter Sunday and a family day for me.. went to the Curve with ter, mum and dad cause parents wanted to get new mattresses for my old room... just because my eldest sister will be coming down from the states in Sept for the wedding.. outright favoritism i tell you.. what happen to when I was there and I needed a new mattress too??!!

Mum wanted a new fridge.. a side by side, just like mine.. we ended up at Harvey Norman looking at not just fridges but everything else.. we were looking at dish washers just for fun.. its so cool to own one.. please if you are planning to buy me a present but don't know what to buy, a dishwasher would be it :D Thanks! I will remember and love you forever!

At night we had dinner at home.. and watched Bodyguards & Assassins.. and slept early... intresting or no? domesticated huh... tell me about it... makes me wonder how would i be in a couple of years time..

My colleague OSC scheduled to meet her customer after lunch at the office... This customer of hers, he's quite special, he's on a wheel chair... When he arrived, OSC was like "Hi how are you? Come in, come in.. have a seat" I was thinking... ?????

errr... OSC, he is already sitting down...

My Life's Complete :)

Now I can say my life's is complete with my k-mix :) Haha ok, not life la but more of a complete kitchen.. hehe.. Well for the benefit of those who doesn't know about what a K-mix is, it is a cake mixer by Kenwood... I love baking! Why Kenwood.. mum's influence.. she's been using hers since she got married.. so its ummm.. like 30 years plus.. dam lasting right??!!

It was a gift from Ter :) He says its my whole year round 2009 present.. meaning.. Valentines, Birthday, Anniversary, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Agong's Birthday, Deepavali, Hari Raya.. aiyo all occasions la... but its alright.. I am HAPPEEE..

K still in the box...

Ter said I had my Christmas morning face when I was opening it :D How could I not ya? First of all the top of the box looks a pack of Malborough Reds.. ehehe when I opened the box, the first layer was the manual (of course) packed nicely with a couple of yummy recipes to try out... and it came with a white spatula.. very good, easy cleaning...

Then the second layer (still beaming), the beaters were all arrange nicely and neatly all in a row.. Hehe the best was yet to come la...

Then, taddaaaaa.... my butt naked K all sexy and plastic free :D Yes.. its chilli red.. how awesome ya... its comes with a cover too, so your batter won't splash out while mixing ingredients in... the sales person was saying that this mixer model is much quieter than othe Kenwood mixer.. a more modern technology or something like that la.. You can check out the specs for yourself here..

Hmmm.. I guess the first thing that I will bake is Orange Cake.. hehehe Ter's favourite...

So ANGRY I need to VENT!

How do I even start.. OMG.. Maybe some advice.. so tell me.. how do you get along with a colleague that you hate... okay hate is a strong word.. let me re-phrase... how do you even try to get along with a colleague that you HATE! Ugh.. just the thought of the ***ker also pisses me off..

Here's a whole list of my dislikes:-

one ~ passing sleezy comments like "leng lui".. excuse me.. u're in an office and fyi my mum did give me a beautiful name and its not "leng lui"

two ~ not concentrating while being taught.. I am wasting my saliva on somebody that is not even listening and in the end waste more of my saliva telling him again.. when he should be listening in the first place...

three ~ clearly you have issues with deadlines why go blame it on your subordinate? take resonsibility of your team rather than blame other people to save your ass?

four ~ you are a ***king accountant.. yes every dollar counts... difference a few thousands petty? what if that few thousands really is a fraud? can't just make the difference disappear.. ***king thwart that too lazy to even try to find out where the ***k you went wrong

five ~ lying... tells me that yah everything ties.. and made me ***king download, check just to find out that is still doesn't tie.. THREE TIMES.. when questionned.. he says "oh, it won't tie wan" then tell me from the beginning and ***king tie it la... why say it ok when clearly it is NOT.. such a dumbass

six ~ comes up with silly theories about every god dam thing which doesn't make any friggin sense at all... here, you be the judge... Can argue ah.. ARGUE that dried fruits has no nutrients.. cause its dry.. like hello.. what about raisin, sun-dried tomatoes, prunes.. FYI, ALL rich in vitamin C.. some more can argue ok... ***king stubborn

seven ~ oh and the muka cipek... sorryla, that forever cannot change.. so I just have to live with that... ugh.. lucky me...

eight ~ dunno what friggin else la... damn alot already la...
