Dogs

I am not a dog lover but unfortunately currently my house got 4 dogs. They are one German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher and two other unknown species. My dad don't like those small cuties dog, he like to prefer the guardant dog.
Hi, my name is cookies and I am from German Shepherd family.
She was given by one of my dad's friend. Every Sunday my dad will bring her for hiking. Honestly I very scare of her and she keep barking at me every time she see me and at one time she nearly bite me, may be I never touch and feet her.


Hi, my name is Jakies and I am from Doberman Pinscher Family

Jackies is new member and was given by my aunt's friend. I always wake up from my sweet dream land due to her none stop barking even my neighbor also came out have a look. So we have not choice but to keep her at the back instead of let her stay at the garden.

Hi, my name is Snowky
Snowky was given by my eldest sister's friend together with his brother Blacky but unfortunately last year due to his bad behavior damaging the garden sand and grass so my dad let go of Blacky. My youngest sister was so mad and angry with my dad that she refuesed to talk to my dad for a week and she is so scare that my dad will do the same thing to Snowky, every time she called back she sure will ask and make sure that Snowky still stay with us. Snowky always like to rest and sleep under the car but he is very smart once you open the car door he will quickly run out already. Whenever you open the auto gate he will love to run out and walk around looking for his friends.
Hello, my name is Mickey

She is the oldest among the rest, she already over 100 years old. Like I mention in my previous blog, she is the one and only one that I play and touched. She is a very good girl like a princess very well behave and will shake hand with you whenever you asked her to do so.

Wakin's Concert at Genting 周华健


The stage



This was my second time went for concert, last year I went to Singapore for Jacky Cheung's concert. Yes I purposely went down to Singapore for the concert and also short holidays for myself. May be some of you will ask he came to KL why have to go down to Singapore for it? The answer is I have to take care of the house and home alone because my whole family went for his Bukit Jalil concert so I took it as excuses I also want to watch his concert and went to Singapore.

We got super duper nice seat very near the stage and at the centre thanks to my dad's friend because he is the Genting Platinum card member so my dad asked him to book the ticket for us. That night as usual at some part 华健大哥忘词, I didn't notice it until my 3rd sister told me about it, I think about 2-3 times.

I really enjoy the night, I actually very scare that I will fall to sleep but luckily I never. I always fall to sleep when I went for movie in cinema until my siblings they all bang me not longer want to ask me for movie :( "I am Malaysia Dato"

华健大哥 is my idol I like one of his song "朋友" very much for me the 歌词 very meaningful and I used this song as my handphone ring tone. I still remember the 1st time I heard of this song was from a cassette posted all the way from Penang to me as a birthday present by my friend. That time I was so lonely and homesick when I heard of this song there were actually tears on my eyes, I miss my family and friends so much.
According to the newspaper 华健大哥 sang 32 songs on that night but I don't know I didn't count it but most of the song sang by him were my favorite songs like 花心, 朋友 and etc. Towards the end he changed to red colour T-shirt plus a vest together with jean and slipper very casual, I was very surprise.
When we were waiting outside for the Genting limousine back to hotel we saw him came out from the concert hall and walk toward the MPV. Too bad we didn't get his autograph. Here are some photos we took on that night, I promised Veronica that I will post the photos but the photos came out not really good and close enough I just wish that I have DSLR camera :(

Thank You 感恩

Where did we celebrate this year mother's day? Hehe the answer is at Jogoya Restaurant at Starhill. My parent, me, my 3rd sister and my brother 5 of us went to Genting on Saturday night for 周华健 concert then on Sunday morning drove down to KL for the buffet lunch. Will post about the concert and lunch on my next blog.

My family can consider a big family, my parent have 5 girls and one boy and I am the 2nd one. Me and my youngest sister age gap is 12 years apart then 15 years for my brother. I still remember we went through some difficult time during my childhood, my dad just started his own business and everyday my mum will bring me and my eldest sister walk to my dad's shop and help him take care of the shop. One day when we on the way toward the shop we met an accident, my eldest sister hit by one car and until now still can see the scar on her forehead. My dad have to work everyday and he seldom spend time with us by the time he came back already midnight and the next day early morning he went to work again.

Although my mum only study until standard 6and didn't went through a lot of education but for me she is the greatest mum. She gave birth to 6 of us, help to take care of dad's business, taking care of grand mum for so many years until she passed away, been buli by all my aunties and uncles and etc. She like to cook and bake all those kind of cakes, kuih, I miss her Laksa and Hokkien mee the most.

For me both of their's love toward all of our siblings is 无私, they parent never ask for any return for their's love, care and financial burden for them to raise us up. Last Sunday is Mother's day but I didn't buy any present for her but on the other hand I received an early birthday present from them.

Last Sunday after lunch we all are so full so we decided to walk around Starhill before head back to Penang. We are inside one jewellery shop then suddenly my 3rd sister mentioned to them that my birthday fall on this month. I was very surprised when my mum asked me to choose one birthday present at 1st I thought she is joking who know my dad also said choose one and I do said no need. At the end they choose one birthday stone ring for me and the present really not cheap.

Thank you mum and dad, although I never said this to you both but I really thank god and being proud to be your's daughter. I love you all and thank you for yours love, care, guidance and many many more.

Credit Card Debt

Have you ever run into credit card debt? Nowadays all banks came out with all sources of credit card promotions such as lifetime annual fees waive, zero % balance transfer, cash on phone and etc and it is so easy to apply for credit card. I believe more than 50% of the teenagers over 21 years old have at least one credit card in hand especially those young fresh graduate.

I don't know how those banks approve the credit card application and base on what terms and conditions they approve the credit limit. I not sure whether my calculation is correct or not but for example maximum salary for one fresh graduate (engineering) in Penang job market should be RM 2,800.00, business graduate should be less around RM 1,800.00. So let said petrol expenses per month RM 300, car loan RM500, daily expenses on foods minimum (RM10 x 30 days = RM300) already RM 1,100.00 so how about other expenses and allowance to parent, how much else left for the saving?

With one credit card on hand they can easily swipe and withdraw cash from ATM machine but how many of them afford to pay back before the due date and aware that bank actually charge 18% for the overdue amount. For ATM cash withdraw the bank immediately charge the interest on the second day so can you imagine the interest plus interest roll over amount?

Recently I encounter one situation, one relative of mine run into credit card debt and seek the help of my parent. When I took all his credit card statement and went through it, OMG I can’t believe the bank approved such big credit limit for him, just two bank credit cards along the credit limit already more than RM 300,000.00 I nearly fainted when I saw the figure and he is only a chicken seller at market. From there I learn and find out about cash on phone, balance transfer and etc.

Although credit card can be very useful and convenience especially during emergency but one advise on credit card spending, when you swipe the card you will be very happy but please make sure you can and afford to pay back before the due date.

Finally

My friend finally returns me the balance $$$. At first I plan to buy DSLR camera after I get back the money but don't know why now not longer want to buy it, just don't know why. I keep asking myself whether worth it to buy the DSLR camera, I very scare after I buy it then later regret because I know that I no longer so crazy about photographic as I do last time. The most important thing is the camera so expensive, the other day I went to the shop clarified some doubt but end up I also confused and not sure which one I should go for and the price also not cheap :(

I msn with a friend just now and we both agreed that ladies are very easy to change their mind that's why peoples always said woman Money are the most easy and most difficult to earn :)
