Look who's here?

This is a late post. Last Wednesday, I was working as usual and I knew there is a reservation for a table of 10 people. When they finally arrived at 8pm, it was a bunch of Malays. I started to look at everyone as they might be some Datuks from Malaysia. Then I saw our former PM, Dr. Mahathir. He was sitting with 2 other guys in 1 table. And there was another long table for their people as well. About 10 of them. And there was 1 more table for their 4 drivers. IMO, Dr. Mahathir looks good for his age. His face looks healthy but his movement was very very slow and seems very tired. This is sad because I love him. My mom used to tell me that before he became a PM, he gave free medical consultation to the poor in his hometown, Alor Setar. My late grandma and her children (my mom, aunts and uncle) were his patient. And mom told me both my late grandma and Dr. Mahathir knew each other very well. And our Dear PM is a very nice person and very humble. Well, I can see that. On that night, he had some miso soup, sushi + sashimi and beef teppanyaki. He was very humble and nice.

I will be my own boss

I hate to go to work, especially when I have to do morning shift. To wake up so early in the morning and then get stuck in heavy traffic is not something I want for 5 days a week. Moreover, my manager is a very difficult person to work with. I work in a very busy restaurant and every night I come home feeling very exhausted. I've always wanted to set up my own business. It is good to be my own boss so there will be no difficult person to work with and it's flexible. However, to set up a business I believe I will need a huge amount of money as capital. Maybe, as a starter I can try shopping cart software. The monthly fee is as little as $49.95 a month, which is very reasonable. Moreover, I can have a free trial for up to 10 days. I can also use my shopping cart to sell downloadable goods such as software and games. With so many advantages, I will sign up ecommerce software today.

Snow in Spring

OMG, it was snowing last Sunday. Now is spring in April and gonna be summer in, like 2 months time and we had snow !! Well, L and I was planning to wake up early on Sunday morning to watch celebrities carry the Olympic torch. But when we got up, it was freezing cold. We decided to stay at home instead and had a nice hot bowl of chicken congee for breakfast.

But lucky we didn't join the crowd to watch the torch bearer because the situation was quiet a chaos due to protesters. It was very crowded as well, as seen on TV.

Early retirement

Both hubby and I love to travel. We make it a point to have holiday at least 2 times a year. Last week, we've just got back from a 1-week holiday in Malaga and now I am thinking of my next holiday already. I just couldn't wait any longer. I really hope to earn as much as possible now and both hubby and I can have an early retirement. By then, we can go to wherever we wish. As a waitress, I don't earn a lot. Sometimes, I do get good tips from rich customers but not very often. Moreover, I am not able to get a part-time job because my schedule has to be flexible for my first job. Fortunately, I found Smorty. Smorty allows advertisers to advertise on blogs and I blog for money. I can earn extra income and blog at any time I wish. Whether it is 2 in the morning or 4 in the afternoon, I get paid for blogging. Also, smorty application is very easy and can be approved within days. And I love the term that I will get paid every week !

The 3 waits

While on holiday in Spain, I was basically doing nothing but eat sleep eat sleep. That's what we call the '3 Waits' or 'san tenn' in Mandarin. '3 Waits' means Wait to eat, Wait to sh*t and Wait to sleep. The phrase sounds better when you traslate them to Hokkien. Tan chiak, tan pang, tan kun. And if I am rich, I will tan shopping as well.

I was so lazy for the whole week holiday, even eating pistachio also insist hubby to take off the shell for me. L asked me 'You want me to put them in your mouth as well !!?'. Oh, yes please. Thats even better. So, I'll just need to open my mouth and eat. :)
