So there we were in Sukau, all excited with the sights and sounds.
Isn’t this an amazing sight first thing in the morning? Then we take a walk and I see sights like this….
Amazingly gnarled tree trunk! Love the place! Located nearby each other so you don’t have to spend days traveling to find these beauties.
The nice thing is that the place we stayed in is fully equipped too – we had free wifi! Haha!
Does it make you want to get your reservation in? With electronic payments made easy, all you need to do is get your calendar out and mark your free dates down….!

Going on a spending spree just will not do. All that musing about getting a new laptop can be infectious. I found myself window shopping at clothes! Window shopping in itself is all right. The danger was that I was doing it for hours – time I could ill afford! Not to mention had I purchased even half of what I tried on!
I can’t imagine how it must be for those who don’t just look but have to get. Right now, it looks like we are heading for a double dip recession. Most are hoping for the recession to have bottomed out and that the economy is on the rise again. But I have to say that the signs are not good. Judging by all appearances, we are heading for another bottom before relief will come for many who are currently in desperate financial situations.
Many caught in this spiral will be burdened with debts, often through usage of credit cards and loans. And yet they would go shopping for more. These need to seek debt advice AND implement the advice before they sink even lower!

We have a new helper. She lives in, and unlike the previous helper, this one is quite responsible. I feel I can trust her. When I give her one set of instructions, she carries them through with little supervision! YES!
The other way she differs from the previous helper is in the area of finance. The former was often asking for payday advances to solve her daily cash needs. I am certain that she can manage her finances better. Giving her an advance is merely temporary help which is no help at all.
Hence I do hope this helper will be a long-term help!

Recently our cousins from overseas visited. One of them came with a cracked wrist, some kidney infection and I am not sure what else.
He went to see the local doctor here who charged him…. very little compared to where he came from!
It would appear that the system there has little help for those who don’t belong to the system. No social security disability allowances or even decent hospital and outpatient care. Such a shame! He needs to somehow get in on the system first.
Meanwhile, I do hope he will get well soon!

Well, we do not have an RV so we need not worry about the expense of rv insurance. (RVs for the initiated are recreational vehicles which are used for off-the-road traveling.) Hence the risk for these vehicles are higher therefore higher premium is attached. Our friend, however, owns one. And I just saw him in the shop nearby. His wife had stormed off in a huff. (Yes, I took cover in case she got mad at me for seeing this happen) His head was in his hands. I think they were arguing about their RV coverage.
Or rather, HER RV!

Just heard from a friend who says that business is bad. Many debtors are defaulting on their payments. It is understandable that many are willing to pay but is unable as they need time.
However there are quite a few who despite having the money will not pay and will make use of the circumstances to drag on. That means he has no choice but to engage a lawyer to collect. Someone gave him a lead to call raleigh commercial litigation lawyers. He might just give them a try.
I feel so sorry for him….

What a morning! Unexpectedly I was needed to handle some sales after the meeting. Looking at the merchandise, I knew I would be in for a big crowd. So I got ready some small change, got the necessary paperwork done, and readied myself for the rush.
It would have helped to have had a receipt printer which I could use, but i devised a system where I marked off the sales instead.
In the end, after handling loads of queries and many sales, I closed at lunch time and felt pleased – my sales tallied!
I don’t think I will want to do it again in a hurry though. Not the job itself – that was fine. Rather, it was because it was very hot in my corner!

I have friends who do blogging so well that they earn money…. Lots of it. One does so well she can afford to pay for holidays for herself and her family! Not bad!
Sometimes I wonder if I could do likewise. But to start with I would have to look at the hosting of my web. Something like hostgator would be a good place to start. It has unlimited web hosting, disk space…. It even has templates
I am tempted. I could upgrade not only the website, but also my lifestyle!

After going on about something superbly valuable (read fooooood) now let me post about something truly valuable (read moneeeeeeeeeeeeeey)
Gold price is at an all time historic high. So much so that many of my friends are considering investing using gold. Some are even selling gold jewelry to cash in.
Hubby nearly got into this – He said that he was wondering if I had any sentimental reasons for holding on to some of my pieces! He suggests that I should sell them now, and he is certain that one day, the price will crash down and he would buy me better and finely designed gold jewelry.
Would you buy into that story?
I AM tempted a little to look for those ugly chunky gold pieces I was given…..!

Shortly after I post the earlier email about resolutions and changes, I find out that someone I know is making a big change in her life!
So big, in fact, that she is going to move far away from home!
She’s been working various jobs in this city but has finally decided that in order to make more progress, and at a faster rate, she would have to go to a bigger place. So, she has decided to get another job in another city. A finance job to be precise.
I wish her well though I must say I don’t think I could do what she is going to do! I am a dud for figures! All the best PB!
