~*~ Jobless me ~*~
Some of my friends may be wondering... why am I so inactive recently. Be it in my blog and on msn. I am hardly seen on msn because I'm working part-time. NOW I'm jobless. Just finished part-time job yesterday. $45/day, not bad la, better than no income. Worked for only 6 days and that amounts my pay to $270. Haha, definitely not enough to cover my post driving lessons this months. I'm very free now... got any part-time lobang can jio me? I can drive van too! I had my class 3 licence le. I'm going to be an unemployed person for the next approximate 4 years. Yay, I'm going continue on with my studies. Unexpected huh..? Monthly allowance of $1500... not a lot man. Most of my friends would be fetching home more than $2k home. I hope I won't get discouraged easily during my pursue. Why I want to study? Because I don't want to work. I want freedom as a student. Simple reason. hA! Is research something for me to do in the long run? Hmm.. I don't know until I try ba. I know I like studying.
Trying be more financially aware
Books I'm reading...
WHY WE WANT YOU TO BE RICH by Donald Trump and Robert T. Kiyosaki Big book with big fonts. A wonderful insight of how two big millionaires think. Teaching you how viewing your finance in a different perspective. Something from the book... There are 3 types of investors: 1. Those who do not invest. 2. Those who invest not to lose. 3. Those who invest to win. Of course I would want to be in category 3. For now, with little capital I'm in category 2. Bought funds from my personal financial advisor lately. Haha... hope to earn big money!
Retire Young Retire Rich by Robert T. Kiyosaki I'm still at the beginning of the book. Hahaha... I'm putting it on hold now as I'm reading the above book. Gosh, I am such a slow reader loh. Robert wrote about using leverage to make money grow in a good sense. Not all debts are bad, debts can be good if you know how to leverage. This book reminds me of a talk show in Taiwan called "Jin wan na li you wen ti". The author is already a millionaire and he need not work to have money going in his pocket. He had passive income which is generated from his businesses and investments.
Law and order going downside in Johor A few days ago, boyfriend told me about the security issues in Johor. Women especially of Chinese race must be very careful if travelling alone or in small groups. Obviously there is a racial discrimination here and these lawbreakers are trying to convey some messages to the public and the government. I can't believe that our neighbouring country can be so unsafe. I remembered a month ago when my cousins and aunties telling my family to be careful when travelling to Johor because the baddies are not only targetting Singaporeans, they are even targetting their own people, the Malaysians. Hope that the police take more action and prevent further tragedies from happening. I'm starting to be worried for my relatives staying in Johor.
