MY POCKET FINANCIAL CONTROLLER

Monitoring daily expenditure is something that I've done for quite some time and I've to admit , it do works well. I always have this small pocket book that will be always with me and I'll track down all my expenditure. It's good especially when looking at the details and knowing where's my dollar and cents went to.

At least at the end of the month when the the reserve is nearly empty , I can look back at the pocket book and will scold myself for spending so unwisely.

MY RIDE ....

I've been driving my beloved Daihatsu Ascend for the past 7 years. I've bought it from a very good friend of mine who is at that time was being relocated to Singapore for a 2 year assignments.

Well, I've to admit it's not a ferarri or bmw or merc ..but It suits my needs (which is definitely not for speed), it's low on fuel consumption and easy to drive. My daily mileage is about 80 km and my ASCEND 1.6 only need RM 10 of fuel.

Not many on the road but it's a bigger version of Daihatsu Charade. So the next time you come across a purple Daihatsu Ascend with a registration number of WGQ 4693 ...do give a HONK ....

A NEW MPV FROM PROTON

The above banner is actually part of the promotion for the eagerly waited PROTON first MPV. I personally think they should have done it much earlier since MPV (Multi Purpose Vehicle) is getting very popular in this country.

It has been like a trend where most family in this country (from what I've seen) have 2 cars. One is the small, not so fuel consuming type of car to go the office and the next will be the family car which is the MPV.

I really hope that Proton will come up with a very good design and good pricing since the 2 is often look by Malaysian when they're buying car.

FIRST AID KIT BOX....

I'm not sure if your house do have one but mine do not !!! I just realize that last week while searching for aspirin (panadol). People always make assumption and mine was I do have it somewhere in my house. After 30 minutes searching in desperado mode , no aspirin found and worst I need it badly ....

So my lesson learned was to have a proper first aid kit box AND MOST IMPORTANTLY complete with all the necessary items so that the next time I'm in the same desperado mode searching for aspirin or other medicine I know I have a first aid kit box.

BRAIN EXERCISE

I've read a book that stress on the importance of brain massage or brain exercise. Sound a bit strange but the more I read , the more I noticed that frequent and routine job for example going to work at the same time and using the same path is not fun for your brain. And a brain that is not motivated is not good as a whole.

The book suggest the simplest brain exercise is to do some different once a while to your frequent task. For example going to work using a different route or instead of TT session at your favourite mamak stall do it at a chinese kopitiam.

Good luck
