Another interesting thing was that a few of my friends suddenly caught up with me. Two of them (a chap and lady both on different occasions) told me that their career directions have slowed down and they are looking for new opportunities. Both asked if I would like to work together to come up with something. I do not oppose the idea despite my busy schedule. However, the challenge now is to come up with ideas first. What is the “something” for us to work together?

While we are looking for ideas, I have a few friends who also caught up with me to announce that they are starting some big businesses. I’m so happy for them. One in particular really caught me off guard. I never thought he would come up with something like this. Bravo! Then another lady friend of mine also started her own business. I never thought she would take the plunge because she was quite a risk averse person. But she did and I am proud of her.

Questions on my mind constantly. What is the purpose of my life? What am I here for? Am I fulfilling my purpose everyday? Mind boggling.

Good night.

Well done, darling! You’ve done us all proud. Keep up the good work and surprise us with more earth-shaking apps. Kaomoji app kind of marks our engagement as it was written while we were “in-the-process” of getting engaged. \(^.^)/

Watched footie tonight at my shop. Ok..I didn’t exactly watch, I was just enjoying the crowd.

Tired. Good night, my beloved readers. To Chocolate Street it is….

Just got back from XCool’s house. He bought Pinball HD for me today after I ooh’ed and ahh’ed at it. I’ve always been a pinball lover and this game is number one in iPad’s Game Category. It’s really fun playing it on the iPad. Now, I just really need to break the world’s high score. People have 800 million points and the highest I got just now was 8 million. =.=

We were so happy about the response to the new slideshow feature in BattPowr Pro and BattPowr HD. Turn your ‘iDevices’ into digital photo albums while you charge them. Check it out! BattPowr HD is currently #50 in top paid app iPad Utility category (for USA). BattPowr is following closely behind XEmoji, which is still the best selling app by XCool Apps at the moment.

Wow. So tired now I am going to crash.

Thank you, Universe for a wonderful weekend. Thank you for everything!

By the way, never underestimate a girl like PS. She may look young, pretty and petite. But if you really know her, she’s one hell of a business woman. She has a lot of ideas and executes them well. She has a lot of courage to go out and get what she wants. Every time I meet up with her, I’ll be motivated to check on my own progress.

Continued with my work after lunch at home. Suddenly, I remembered that I need to file my income tax for this year. Last year, I signed up for e-filing so that’s what I’m doing this year too. It’s easy. I took only 10 minutes or so and voila! LHDN owes me RM1.3k. Yippieeeeeeee!

Soon it was time to meet up with my property agent. I finally managed to kick my bad tenant out. There were quite some headaches he’s caused me. I actually shouted at him on the phone many times (definitely more than ten times in total). So glad the whole problem is solved. I’ve learnt my lesson -> never be too soft-hearted when it comes to this. He promised to pay me the money he still owes me before June 1st. It’s not much but I’ll wait and see. Looking on the bright side, he left a few appliances and furnitures in my apartment – TV, washing machine, wardrobe and what not. Yippieeeeeeee!

All those difficult confrontations I’ve gone through in the last two years have made me a tad stronger. I refused to be bullied. Most of the time, older men will take advantage of my gender and age. They try to bully or undermine my capability when it comes to making business deals. All I can say is “F*k off!”. I’m sick of being mistreated like that. This is a new era. You should reassess whether if your many-years-worth-of-experience can be successfully applied nowadays before you come and mess with me. And please … don’t even think about flirting in order to make me succumb to your ideas. I don’t work like that. There’s only one person who can make me sway that way. Yippieeeeeeee!

Universe, please bring only positive people into my life. Thank you, Universe! Yippieeeeeeee!

Ok. *Beep* Power off!

Later that evening, I met up with XCool for dinner and headed to his house to do some work. I had to count the money from my restaurant’s tip-box as the coins are pilling and it’s getting really heavy! While counting, I received this SMS from my fookie friend CheeryDiva. It displayed “So happy!!! Saw d new tv in ur shop”.

Yes! You’ve guessed it! The contractors and suppliers were in my shop earlier today to install a TV and Astro. The Astro has not been activated yet and we taped a sign “Coming Soon!” on the TV screen. How exciting! New addition for our football and MTV fans’ pleasure.

At XCool’s house, he gave me a quick overview on XCode. XCode is the programming language for iPhone apps. Although I told myself that I don’t want to do computer programming anymore last time (other than a little here and there to customize my blog), I think it’s time to pick it up again. *For those of you who don’t know me, I worked as a programmer in mainframe, Business Intelligence (mainly Hyperion) and JavaScript.*

After all, who can be better to learn it from than the best-selling app developer?

Read this post Good Service by Lowie about my shop. I wasn’t aware of her experience and reading it from her blog is quite amusing. I’m happy to hear that my staff lived up to her expectations.

These are a few happy things to jot down for today. Happy weekend ahead!

Dark clouds are cleared too. Thoughts that are ambiguous and bothersome are over. Fights are good for relationships. It’s how you fight that matters. Are your fights optimistic or pessimistic? Do you fight nicely or violently? That makes a big difference and I can feel it. To know the devil is to know God. Or, in layman terms, to know bitterness is to know sweetness. Happy!

Sleepy now… Thank you, Universe! You are the best.
