My Birthday Gift ---- Worth My Time

I find it amazing that I can be 35 years old and seem to know less every day. No matter how much you learn, it just continues to open up more substantial questions and relationships.

A relative of mine gave me a new handphone for my birthday. And to her surprised, I refused to accept the gift. I said:"I just want a book for my birthday. Perhap you could buy me or order me this book for me. The title is - An Engineer's Alphabet: Gleanings from the Softer Side of a Profession from Henry Petroski.

Why do you think I can't accept her gift? Handphone? Well, I like reading books. Worth my time.

Handphone, for me it just a tool. Book .. well book is knowledge and knowledge is vital. Reading book is like reading the writer's mind, values and philosophy. By the way, book never lies :P

------ "BIAR RASO" ------

Personally, I love my 9 to 5 job. Why? Its stable. What if my family member ask me to "quit" my job and do business?

Here are my answers:

1. Overseas

2. Fast food restaurant

3. Apply food and money from charity

4. Anti-social (What's the benefit of me knowing you?)

Well, siapa yang rugi? Mereka dengan keluarga mereka. Padan dengan muka. "Biar Raso"

---- Life Is A Business ----

Did you know that your life is a business. You probably think that I am kidding you. Perhaps,I should give you one example

Example:

Let say that you and your spouse or partner want to have lunch. After 5 to 10 minutes discussion, you and your partner decided that you are going to have McD. KEYWORDS: DISCUSSION, DECIDED

Then, both of you arrived at McD. At the McD your partner ordered BMaC, while you on the other hand decided to have HCakes. After finished ordering, you partner asked you to pay whiles you, however, negotiating by asking your partner to pay. KEYWORDS: ORDERED, DECIDED, PAY, NEGOTIATING.

Since inclusive, both of you then decided to leave the premises with empty stomachs. KEYWORDS: DECIDED, PREMISES

Let us forget the non-happy ending of my story here; however, let us analyses the keywords

DISCUSSION

DECIDED

ORDERED

PAY

NEGOTIATING

PREMISES

Now did you get the idea that your life is a business? If you want to leave a comment, please comment on the subject matter and not on my English proficiency. Unless you are Certified English Teacher from Cambridge or Oxford (He He He don't take it too personal)

Home Safety & Security - DIY

Add value

House Improvement - DIY

What do you think of Home Improvement - DIY in Malaysia?

For most Malaysian

STINGY

For Expat

LABOUR is EXPENSIVE

For Me

Let me give you an example here:

Tiling the house floor - RM3K

Outsourcing

Tiles - RM1K

Labour - RM1.5K

Materials - RM0.5K

Total = RM3K

However,

DIY

Tiles - RM1K

DIY - RM0.1K

Materials - RM0.5K

Total = RM1.6K

Let us compare between outsourcing and DIY, I already save RM1.4K.

So it means a new blackberry playbook (add value) for me for this Eid Ul Fitri.

Ha Ha Ha !!!

p/s: Value for money or I am taking control of my own financial?
