On topic of money

Currently, I need to diversify my income. I don't have a steady passive income. I've been looking for things to sell in my room but I could not find any. All the things in my room serve a purpose. This means that I have been minimalistic for quite some time now. This is a good thing, but I still need to find something to sell. I have a steady income from my job as an engineer but it is not enough. I can barely survive with my fresh graduate salary. I will probably look for another job if my salary does not increase in a year. Most of my salary goes to paying highway tolls and parking. In addition, my salary when I was working with Domino's is much higher than what I am making now. hahahaha.  These days are definitely one of the hardest times in my life. I will restructure how I spend my money, I might have to cut my spending on food and dates. Sorry Sayang. Yasashii Men

If you're so smart why aren't you happy?

If you're so smart why aren't you happy? This book title really hit me, I did not have the chance to read it though. I always consider myself to be quite an intellectual person. Well everyone does. However, I am unhappy. I believe one of the reasons I am unhappy is that I have a high expectation of life. I am so tired of having this high expectation like I deserve something from life. The universe owes me nothing! I am tired of being unhappy. So tired of being unhappy.. This journey goes on. I love you world. Yasashii

[How-To] Taking Care of A Bedridden Elder

Hi Internet, The purpose of this post is to teach you how to take care of your bedridden elder, it could be your family member, friends or relatives. This post is also a reminder for me to use in the future in case I forget. This guide is for people who does not have much financial capacity to hire professional care. I strongly rcommend people who has the capacity to opt for professional care 24 hours. If you are in the same circumstances as mine where you dont have the financial capacity, do your best to accomodate the need of your elderly. You will be exhausted physically and mentally but persevere and I truly believe that we will get rewarded. First and foremost, hygiene. Make sure that the room being used by your elder is hygienic and try to maintain it that way. Do not let it stink of poo and urine. I am sorry if my language is a bit harsh. Sweep food residues and mop the floor with anti bacterial solutions. This will inhibit bacteria growth. 2)  Shower If you have...

[How-To] How To Organize Meetings with Friends

Planning an outing with friends could be such a pain to your butt Requirements: 1) Friends from work,college, high school, kindergarten  (if you don't have one, add someone from social media and ask them to hang out with you). 2) Money 3) Transportation 4) Location Even if you have all of the above, it can still fail, you need a full cooperation from the participants. Besides that, you need a tad bit of patience in handling them especially when you are the person who asked them out.  It also helps not being pushy in times of crisis/problems/deviations. In addition, power tripping is a major turn off. Friendship tips: If someone asks a favor from you, it is an opportunity for you to be a part of their life

[Love Life] Handling your love life

Image
Ecoya's been there for me  These days I think I can handle my girlfriend,  it is quite difficult to explain but here's the gist of it.  I think of my relationship as a flow of liquid. You just go with the flow and wait for your chance.  Just look for the opportunities in the rhythm. Basically, maintaining balance. Apart from that, I couldn't agree more with Taylor Swift on the subject of love "Men just like the game"-Blank Space-Taylor Swift

[opinion] Happiness and Money and Sacrifice

Image
Happiness and Money and Sacrifice I'll stick to my occasional Jjajangmyun and Kaarage dinner thanks This is a confusing issue for me, I aspire to be a financially independent person by 40. I prefer to be that way because I want my future kids to have the best healthcare, top education, and security. Some people are just satisfied with average lifestyle. I want to be rich, I desire to be one. Happiness in my dictionary is to spend time giving back to the society, helping the needy and a great lifestyle. For me to achieve my happiness, I need to secure myself first. By doing this, I can contribute greatly to those groups of needy at a significant level. Last week, I spoke with my colleagues about how one of them ate bread for 3 straight years during lunch. For confidential sake, let's name him HC. I also noticed that HC always cut his hair bald to save money from grooming his hair. Then one of the Chinese supervisors said "Don't underestimate him, he ...

Family Dilemma

Image
Have you ever watched a TV drama? At the end of the day, we all know that the chief killed his daughters in this area. R.I.P Three Sisters At first, I always ridicule tv dramas especially Malay dramas. However, as I get older I realized that my family is not that perfect at all! For example, in dramas, you would find that gossips between neighbors are ridiculous and the main character would be affected by these gossips. The gossips are so ridiculous that audiences would find that it is just stupid. I rather not divulge my family problems here but I can say that they are similar to those dramas, if not, more ridiculous.  It is hard to balance between feelings and logical approach to a family problem. I believe it is because you know your family members too well.  So you an answer in the plain sight. That is just the first step, executing it is another whole story. Especially when you have seniority culture and egoists in the family. It is challenging. To ...

[Love Life] Lover's Quarrel

Image
Straight roads are boring! Happiness comes after sadness. I have so many things to talk about and so many limitations! My passion is to eternalize my most precious lessons in life in this blog and I am so behind. You can do this Yasashii! By the way, I can really see myself writing blogs as my full-time job LOL! Today's topic is about lover's quarrel . Ladies and gentlemen who have not been in love, I really encourage you to fall in love with another human being. Being in love is one of the wonders of life. If  LIFE is a course at a university, love is definitely a compulsory subject. You have not lived life fully if you have not fallen in love. Falling in love not only teaches you about the other person, you will get to know yourself better at the end of the day. Why couples fight?  Basically, you have two people with different ideologies, experiences and their own unique views on life. This couple is bound to have an argument no matter how big. Finding a com...

[REVIEW] DIY 360 Mengurus Wang by Alwi Adam

[REVIEW] DIY 360 MENGURUS WANG by Alwi Adam Today I would like to share my review of DIY 360 Mengurus Wang by Alwi Adam. "Mengurus Wang" means money management. Overall, this book is a great read. If you are new to the financial world and would like to learn new techniques to manage your finance, I really recommend this book. This book not only teaches you how to manage your finance, the writer also includes tips and tricks on how to be financially independent by investing in real estates, low-risk stocks also Real Estate Investment Trusts. I really like how he incorporates storytelling with investing. In one of the chapters, he portrayed how an old technician with a low salary schools a fresh graduate engineer who recently bought an expensive car due to family pressure. I am not sure with other countries but in Malaysia, society expects you to flaunt your wealth depending on your job. I am not blaming the society, the society is a product of its culture. I believe that...
