What A Bliss..

Today I went to the currency bureau at Avenue K as it always gives good rates. I am lazy to go to Midvalley and Sg Wang to compare and I only compared at KL Central which is not so good rate.

The USD is only at 3.29 while Taiwan Dollar is at 10.65! Yeah, that is quite a good rate for me. I changed around RM1.7K for USD and RM800 for TWD.

I hope it would be enough for me to spend there although it seems a little too low now that there is so many places I want to go in San Francisco! Worst come to worst, I’ll just use the credit cards.

Before I left my office just now, I deleted all the log files, temporary internet files and even cookies on the desktop that I have been using for the past 2 weeks.

I would get a new laptop when I come back from US, thus I won’t be using this pc anymore. It is better to remove all the files and evidence of me surfing the internet during office hour!

But deleting it doesn’t means it cannot be traced anymore. Make sure you also clear the recycle bin. But I think it is still able to find in the hard disk if they want to!

I noticed one of the biggest different between houses in US and here are the garages. Most of the house there has its own special garage for the car while here, only the big bungalow has garage.

And so I asked my colleague why do they need a garage in every house, why not do like what we do here? Park outside the house. He said it is for during the winter time where the car would be freezing cold in the morning although I didn’t really buy his reason.

Anyway, I like the idea of having a garage like that as there are many things that you could keep inside, apart from the car. Come to think of it, the car would be safer from burglary if it is kept inside the garage then outside the house, which happened so often.

Being a keeper, who keeps every junk that I think might be useful in the future, I hardly throw anything away. So it is good to have a garage where I can keep all junks inside without messing up the house.

I got my credit card rather late which is during my 3rd job, where the HSBC fellows came to our office so that we can open a bank account to credit our salary. They also promoted on their credit card which I applied for the first time.

Initially after getting my first credit card, I was wary of using it, as I have heard of people fallen into debt trap with credit cards. But after some times, I started to use it frequently until I accumulated a huge amount of debt! I started to freak out when I find that I couldn’t pay off my credit card debt on time and it is being brought forward to the next month.

It went on for about half a year where I started to stop using my credit card and trying to clear off all the debts. And finally, I managed to pay off after another half a year!

Now I am more careful when I am using my credit card and make sure that I pay all my credit card bill within time!

I didn’t manage to catch Rambo in the cinema as I was in US when it was shown. Coincidently it was also shown in US but we didn’t go to watch as it was expensive and we didn’t think of watching it too. We didn’t want to blow our budget and end up eating protein powder.

So, ended up Cody bought the DVD and we watched it at home. It was a rather short movie, barely 1 hour and 20 minutes and the story line was rather simple too.

My US colleagues said it was very bloody and brutal and so I expected it that way. But it wasn’t as bad as they said and I was itsy-bitsy disappointed! Yeah, I like gruesome bloody killing and stuffs!

Anyway, it was quite enjoyable as I always like to watch Rambo, since I was a kid!

Finally the traffic light at my housing area is up after more than 2 months, or 3 months of setting up! I remembered the people came to dig the area for the pole somewhere in December last year.

When I joined my new company, it was read and the traffic light was there. So I thought by the time I come back to M’sia, it would be operational. But apparently I was wrong!

This morning after my best ab workout, I noticed that the car was all stopped at the road and I suspected either the traffic light was working or there was an accident. But I was happy to see that it is finally up and working today, about a month after I came back!

I don’t know what took them so long to have it working but I am sure to like the traffic light as the cross junction is rather busy in the morning and it is difficult to cross the roads.

I wake up on a raining Saturday morning and I totally love the rains! What’s more wake up to a raining day and the whether has been cold and wet. Though I am lazy to do anything but to surf internet, laze around and chat with housemates.

Somehow I am not sure if I want it to rain tomorrow as we plan to go to Genting Highland. If it is raining, it will be slippery and dangerous to take bus and cable car up to Genting. The last thing we need is to call the 24 hour towing. However, my housemates and his friends are going even if it rains as they have booked for two rooms!

So, will it be a totally raining and wet weekend after all?

I always thought that dish washer is such a luxury and only for those rich people who can afford it. But when I arrived in US, I was surprised to see a dish washer in the studio apartment that I am living in.

I have never used it in my life and was rather excited to have it. It makes washing so easy especially for lazy people like me who is on apidexin!. I tried to collect a few plates at a time and have the washer wash for me instead of scrubbing each plate myself. Wonderful~

Probably next time when I can afford it, I can have this luxury item too!

I hate to do house chores as I have very sensitive nose. I would sneeze non stop at the slightest dust which happened whenever I clean the house. The chores I hate most is sweeping as it makes the dust flying around, especially when cleaning Amish fireplaces!

But I cannot stand having the floor full of dust and hairs! Thus, I am thinking of getting a vacuum that would efficiently clean the floor without having to sneeze!

That or I think I will get a helper in the future when I have my very own house and I can afford it. I could spend my times better with out stuffs than doing cleaning, something that I don’t quite enjoy!

My housemate buzzed me at work today via MSN. She seldom did so as she knows that I am starting at a new company so it must be something big. Yeah! She got a job interview tomorrow at a MNC company in Cyberjaya!

A few of my ex-colleagues had joined the company in the last few months. The company provides good benefit that includes catered-lunch, free parking, transport allowance and many more.

The only cons is the company is too far away from our home. Anyway, I encouraged her to try to go for the interview or she might regret rejecting the interview in the future. What’s more tomorrow is a public holiday!
Good luck to her!
