Selling my Condotti Luggage Bag to a Buyer

I received a free navy blue Condotti luggage bag from Ambank for buying insurance the second time. It costs me $600 per month for 2 policies of $300 each. Now I have 4 insurance policies including Prudential, RHB's Tokio Marine, and 2 policies from Ambank. I had sold 3 luggage bags before. One was a gold Condotti, another a magenta Rainier, and the last one was a good branded silver Barry Smith as promoted by our 'Angkasawan' Dr. Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, an orthopedic surgeon who graduated from India and did his masters in Malaysia. Hopefully, the buyer will meet me tomorrow should he be free and he will call me on where to meet. We had agreed to a minuscule price of $60 for the branded Condotti luggage bag.

Sigh of Relief that Disobedient Maid is Leaving

I hired a maid on 15th June 2019 from Medan, Indonesia. On the first day, she asked if my mother has an extra green jade bangle for her!!! The reason I hired her was to take care of mum who had a fall and suffered compressed disc of the spine, etc. She also had diarrhea and it comes out almost non stop. Youngest sis, wanted to send mum to a nursing home since she sent granny and dad to nursing homes and refuse to let them come back. It was not karma as I intervened and said mum is to recuperate in Quayside Condo and immediately hired a maid from a 'joker factory' for her. The maid was Yati, I call her yeti, the beast. She had the audacity to break the glass door with so many lines of cracks to show her dissatisfaction when mum asked that youngest one help distribute my late father's estate to me and youngest sis, bypassing the second sis, since she did not contribute a cent for 5 years while doing her Ph.D. which took from 3 years to 5 years.

Yeti even used mum's handphone to download 25-30 apps of Dangdut music with baby laughing so loudly being played. I had the impression, yeti was using her own handphone since she secretly found her handphone in the drawer that I kept away from her. Well, her itchy hands just love to open and discover new things and perhaps look for loose cash here and there!

Mum's bone's density has more or less recovered at age 80 from osteoporosis to osteopenia. This means that the Forteo injection that costs RM 1,600 a month using dad's pension was helping her bone density. In the first 3 days, she even wanted to borrow RM 500 from mum, then me and then sis. It was all youngest sis' fault; spoiling her to bits by giving her 3 nightgowns, and more than 10 pieces of her branded t-shirts that she could no longer wear for the last 10 years. Yeti became bold and brazen, disobeyed orders and finished up my Ensure milk even though she has her own cheaper milk that we gave to her! I only drank 3 cups and the RM 84 Ensure milk tin was finished.

She also ate out 'bak kua' without permission. She will cut them into pieces and fry with rice for her dinner and other meals. There were 12 pieces of 'bak kua', where I had 4, mum 1, my spouse 1 and there rest, she just 'hau kor' away. Well for being disobedient, too brazen and bold, I decided to shorten her stay from 3 months to 2 months and that very day, she slammed the door showing her anger. The agent seems to inform her what's happening or rather the agent's other maid seems to inform yeti of her early dismissal. Well, good riddance to bad rubbish this 15th August 2019, her last day. Also mum's RM 10 is missing and we cannot let yeti stay at home in Island Park since mum's cash is kept all over the house including her costly jewelry.

Blogging takes Effort

Blogging certainly takes up much time, what more if you have many blogs. It requires determination, hard work and persistence do write on a consistent basis. I love to blog and whether or not I make some revenue out of it is secondary. Of course, it would be a bonus if I can leverage from all my blogs for some revenue. But I love to pen down my thoughts and many people have benefitted out of it. You know who you are. I don't put sarcasm or put people down. That is why my blogs are popular; instead, it motivates you to work harder and smarter, picking on my brains and characteristic.

Money is a Precious Commodity

Sometimes, we run out of money due to overspending, bad business decisions, gambling, and such. Everything needs cash to pay for good health, surgery if you are sick and ask rich relatives for money to maintain your life, downgrading to pay for medications, hospital treatments and more. Up to a certain extent, money can maintain your life, but not forever. It is better to have good health and be happy than to be miserable but rich. Sometimes, being children who are carefree is the best time of our lives without the responsibilities to pay many bills, food, clothing, transport, vehicle maintenance, housing, quit rent and more.

Gonna learn video editing

I have bought the video editing software which was $30 and it is not cheap. The price has increased a lot since many years ago. It is time I learn how to edit a video and learn the tricks on my own with self-help tutorial step by step. On Monday, I have an interview to edit videos and this is the reason I took action. It pays USD 5 at the most per hour of editing. I know a little of Photoshop and need to learn Premiere now. This is a very useful knowledge to glean and make side income at the same time.

Programmers are EVIL

my Wordpress blog was sabotaged for a few days until I decided enough is enough and took the initiative to solve the problems myself. The problem started when my Prompt theme crashed due to wrong advise by the Malay programmer to install 'black hole' plugin that caused the theme crash and you have to pay USD 60 a year to restore it. I made the wrong mistake by trusting a certain programmer named D Jiang from China to solve for me. Well, he did solve, but added more bugs and then disappeared, refusing to reply for the mess he created. Then I had to go to Freelancer.com another wrong choice to pay USD 10 at the minimum to solve the bugs. A certain Indian woman programmer with a site at VictorDeal.com solved for me and asked for more money and even asked for his brother too to increase his credentials without working and coding a thing. I was naive to listen and did as told. Then eventually, I discovered that my footer disappeared altogether. Another programmer wanted USD 30 to solve this. I had enough of this nonsense of solving the problem and adding more bugs in my blog that I decided to use Activello theme which I am very pleased by adding the ads myself.

Make Hay while the Sun Shines

The idiom, 'Make Hay while the Sun Shines,' certainly ring a bell. It means work hard in the prime of your youth before aging takes place. And also work smart and make money work for you like taking up good debts such as buying real estate instead of bad debts such as purchasing a car. The real estate will appreciate while the car will depreciate very fast. Rich people read daily at least a few hours to gain knowledge and what better way to learn than to read a book? This is self-discovery learning and is the best form of learning. So, in the meantime, I shall make hay while the sun shines. Before winter comes and the leaves start falling in autumn
