After weeks of busy with JCI CYEA, rushing to JCIM Academy, e-Awards and AGM report..suddenly so free now.
Time to re-focus on Thrift Holidays business.. and start developing the Corporate Cage Escapade course under Thrift Workshop
Time to make some money coz Sept - Dec will be filled with dinner/workshops/conferences to attend.
Just registered to attend BFM Enterprise Breakaway end of this month.
Also good time to clear up my room and go to gym/swim more often.
Also must remember to put to practise the things learnt in MMI..my workbook has not been touched for months.
Wow...suddenly I realise I can never be so free after all...

Be rich and well connected
Be rich and well connected.
This is one of my goal.
No point just being rich..must be rich and connected to the right people..
Being around rich people, I notice one thing. The richer you are, the less you pay.
How?
CEO of companies although earn the same amount per month as a normal employee earn per year, do not have to pay for their petrol, toll, utilities, etc..all paid for by the company. Even food is often provided for.
When go for events, they go in for free.
Go F1, people pay thousands to get good seats..They get free ticket to go Paddock and can bring their friends and family in for free.
Someone I know who is having their wedding this year, since the father knows the company owner that is managing PWTC, they are able to get it at only RM50/pax.
Their wedding ring, can buy at very discounted price from one of Malaysia's famous jewellers.
Another relative, offer to allow free usage of Bentley or Rolls Royce for the wedding car.
My alumni association benefits from the rich and well connected too.
Our alumni events can be done at famous venues at incredibly low price, just because our VP who owns 1 of the famous architecture firm in the country, do the design work for these venues.
Poor and people with no connection..will have to pay inflated price... and become poorer.
So conclusion..be rich and well connected.

Year 2010 is ending, what have I achieved?
How fast time flies. It's been a long while since I last posted on my personal blog.
Everyday had been filled with business meetings, traffic generation, online marketing, feeding my cats, eat, sleep, rest, watch TV, drive, etc..
Another few weeks til the end of year 2010.
And what a year it had been.
Looking at my old posts, especially one that I made beginning of 2010 on New Year, New You?
I have indeed achieved quite a lot, despite originally thinking I have not. Cos when I saw the goals and plan I made for yr 2010, I probably only achieve 10% of that. But I guess I forget that I have achieved other things which I did not plan for.
I did not win the HP mini laptop that I dreamt off, but I did win 2 iPODs, which I have sold one and made a cool RM150.
The other one I'm saving for a gift away.
I have finally QUIT MY JOB...YAY!
Since April 2010, my dream has come true. If you had read my blog in the past, you would have noticed many posts on how much I hated my job..and yes..now I'm no longer a corporate slave.
No more waking up at 6.30am daily and being stuck in traffic 2-3 hours each day, paying for expensive parking to go to a job I hate.
Now my schedule is flexible, most likely waking up at 8am or later, unless I have to feed my cats at 5am or 7am or have to pick up the cleaner at 7.30am or have a client for my holiday condo.
I read in my old post beginning of 2010 that I had 8 things/biz that I'm working on.
Well..this is something that I really need to reduce and focus instead.
As suggested by my friends...who says I'm just doing "too much".
In year Dec 2010, I have done the following:
1) Business - managing 45 blogs [yes, my blogs grew from 30 beginning of this yr] for passive income via adsense and affiliate
2) Business - online marketing of my timeshare resorts and condo - Cheap timeshare rentals
3) Business - online marketing cum condo manager for my friend's luxury condo - BG Condo KL for holiday rentals
4) Business - online marketing of renovation services
5) Business - weekly meeting with my group, NETBRADS ASSOCIATES, for our kids projects and online projects. - With my group Netbrads Associates, we have done 3 Edu-Play Day events, which was featured in TV3 Kids News. Our ebook is still selling, Self Esteem For Children Today
6) Business - Co-organised 2 Singles Networking Events with my biz partner under An Evening Together
7) Business - Conducted blog coaching class at Damansara Perdana
8) Voluntary work with Uni of Melbourne Alumni Association as Secretary General
9) Voluntary work with Junior Chamber International [JCI] PJ chapter for the JCICYEA 2010 project and incoming VP-Business 2011.
So am I doing too much..hmm..yes..I think so too.
Is what I'm doing contributing to my long term goal? Hmm..something I need to ponder upon and plan for next year.
So, what have I achieved in year 2010?
Quite a lot i reckon...
Am I looking forward to 2011..definitely!
As for now..its time to review and reset the goals for yr 2011..
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
p/s: Hmm..i just notice the I want more money experiment I did a few years back. maybe I should repeat that again. more money is always good ;)

New Year, New You? New HP Mini Laptop ?
Its the new year again..how fast time flies.
New Year...New You?
Only you can determine it for yourself..
As for me..the year is starting out great.
Completed an event on 2 Jan 2010. Co-organised a singles networking event with my friend. check it out here -> An Evening Together
The whole project took just 5 weeks to be launched..which proof that when there's a will, there's a way.
Thank you so much to all friends and biz partners who have supported us for this event.
I was just doing a list of my current biz projects.. 8 projects..and this exclude my Melb Uni Alumni Committee stuff & etc...no wonder I rarely have any free time on hand.
Not to mention my ever growing blog network..Its about 30 now...covering various niches..so do check them out [just refer to the blog list on the sidebar.]
Year 2010 is looking very exciting ahead...with many ideas swimming in my head waiting to be realised.
My plans are flowing on nicely...soooo looking forward to throwing in The Letter ;)
I'm also aiming for a new laptop. Hoping to win the HP Mini 110 series laptop from Standard Chartered.
Have done on my part..ensuring that my sms goes in at 9am on 5th Jan 2010. Now its in the hands of God to ensure I get this laptop...
Putting the things I read in The Secret & the methods taught in Law of Attraction...
trying to manifest to the universe that I need this laptop...everyday looking at the picture on the brochure and on Amazon..i want it...i need it...for the future of my business venture..so please please please..let me win it.
yes...its not the latest model..but hey..if its free..why not right?

The Secret
book over the weekend.Its been in my brother's room for years, I just never got around to picking it up although I've heard about it since last year.
What can I say..by just reading the first chapter, I feel so inspired and motivated. Engrossed in reading the book, you feel like you are sitting in a motivational seminar, except for the fact that you don't need to pay thousands of dollars to do so.
Law of attraction has existed all the while and I guess we all practise it without realising it. The only difference is in what aspect that we put it to practise. I guess majority practise it in attracting the negative, thus the reason why 90% of the world's wealth is in the hands of 5-10% of the population.
I'm so inspired to start thinking positive and be the positive person I was like in my uni days.
Even my ex-boss told me when we met for lunch few wks ago, that I shld think positive, when I was complaining to him how sucky my work life is now.
I'm also gonna start to watch The Secret
movie once I get it...Looking at my blog, I realise its so full of my rants and complaint..geez...I'm so thankful my friends were so patient in listening to me complain and complain for past years.
Time to change my thinking and my life...and pray that God rewards me with all the things I wish to happen quickly.

achievement for the year?
am feeling like such a loser.
was downstairs went my mum was showing my dad a family friend of theirs, whose daughter is now a rising fashion designer, appearing on the tv this morning. she's young, hot looking chick, and will probably have a bright and easy future.
it made me think..what have i achieved in my life this year?
being stuck here in malaysia, trapped at home and not having freedom to go out anywhere and as long as i want without having to give explanation...
trapped in a department and company that i just dont give a fuck anymore, being a victim of office politics...
each month earning less than what i need to pay my expenses..
til i have to live a life like a scrooge..
i was just cleaning my undies drawer and realised i havent bought new undies for years and the ones i have are all so old or torn or stretchy..and planning to go buy cheap undies coz i cant waste my money on La Senza or other expensive brands...it makes me feel so pathetic.
it sucks that to go holiday must wait for travel fairs and queue for hours to get cheap tickets or go online after midnite trying to book the free tickets by Air Asia...
i remembered having to queue for 12 hours at MAS travel fair in year 2005, just to get the cheap free and easy holiday package for my family and relatives...
why cant i live a life where, i can just call and book the ticket for a holiday next week? no need to book 3 or 6 mnths earlier just to save money?
how long do i have to live this kind of cheapo life?

I want more money experiment - Day 4
Day Four:
$800:
- I need a holiday. At least a short 3d2n break. MAS & AirAsia having cheap flights to Langkawi. Would love to go there again just to chill, do some shopping at the duty free outlets and revell in the cheap and tasty food there.
I am grateful for:
- having the passion of travelling in me, and being brought on for holidays with my family and relatives since young. I can't imagine my mindset if I'm not exposed to travel and other countries culture..probably will be like the typical racist frog under the stone kind of people.
Show me the money:
- Put in practice the things i learn from the Super Affiliate Blogger and get some affiliate sales to gain the money for my holiday.
Reference / guidebook:
The Super Affiliate Blogger handbook

I want more money experiment - Day 3
I haven't done this experiment for days..perhaps its time to continue.
[to know more about the background of the experiment, scroll down to posts below]
I want more money experiment - Day 3
Day Three:
$400:
- Can't think much what I need. Oh yea..my printer has run out of ink, so I will need new HP black cartridge and color cartridge.
- The balance of the money I can use to pay my tailor for 2 pairs of new baju kurung for work.
I am grateful for:
- the existence of wireless and broadband technology in Malaysia. Internet surfing was such a chore and expensive during the dial up days. Doing internet business at that time would have really tested my patience to the max.
Show me the money:
- Clean up my room and sell all the handbags and clothes I no longer need or wear on Ebay. Can probably sell some of the jewelleries as well. Which is rather good coz my bedroom space is reducing by the day with all the mess.
How to sell on ebay & get the best value for my items?
- I shall refer to the Ebay Masters guide

I Want More Money experiment - Day 1
I just came across this cool post by Millionaire Mummy on a project based on Law of Attraction.
Basically anyone interested to join in this experiment is supposed to think of what they want to spend with their money, starting with $100 on the first day, and doubling it each day for the next 30 days.
In addition, they are supposed to think of what they are grateful of.
Lastly, they would need to think of how they can gain that money in the first place.
This got me thinking..but amazingly..it is kinda hard to do, coz I want money the most to buy back freedom from this company I'm trapped in.
But enough of negative thoughts..with all the doom and gloom in the world today..lets think happy thoughts..
So I decided that I too want to participate in this experiment.
So, here goes:
Day One:
$100:
- I need new shoes for work. So I shall use this $100 to buy a new pump or court shoe.
I am grateful for:
- Stumbling into millionaire mummy's blog so I can try out this experiment
Show me the money:
- Sell the bodyshop items I bought in Singapore on eBay Malaysia to earn the $100.
