Here’s a quick excerpt
I’m done thinking whether to make raya cookies for this year or just to buy..in the end I decided to just buy from the usual seller, my senior from school. At least I know how the cookies taste like so it will save me from the embarrassment - kuih raya tak sedap pon, rupa je cantik, rasa hampeh..bla bla..These days the 50pcs cookies usually cost around RM23-27, but when you calculate all other hidden cost - time, energy, effort spent doing the cookies, I think it is not worth it to make my

Public Speaking: alternate stream of income?

Here’s a quick excerpt
I have never thought of myself as a public speaker. I am the type of person who needs time to come up with thoughts, therefore blogging tends to be a much better medium for me. I don’t ever remember being afraid of public speaking so much as I knew that I struggle to come up with thoughts “on the spot”. This is one reason that my younger brother got into fist fights when we were growing up - he was quick with the lip and I could never think of a come-back. Other than to pound him. Therefore I

Here’s a quick excerpt
I actually have ulcers from this crap, not to mention nightmares. Actual fucking nightmares since I have been dealing with buying a house. My husband is useless in all of this because he goes offshore to work and we are using his credit to get this place. SO whenever I need to ask him a question I am pretty much fucked as far as that goes because I can’t get a hold of him. We were going through this one broker to get a VA loan and it turns out the VA are too strict on getting a house. Th
