Happy Notes

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Business

This morning, XCool and I went to SSM (Companies Commission of Malaysia) to register another business. We were there early and got what we wanted in about an hour’s time. Yay! A new source of income…how exciting!

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!

Flowers & Me

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Just For Fun

It’s the holiday season and that means lots of love spreading around everywhere. This Valentine’s Day, I wasn’t able to spend it with my new love because it coincided with Chinese New Year. Anyway, that didn’t stop us from celebrating love.


XCool likes to send me flowers. This is a shot few months back.





Really like the bouquet design.


Today, he sent another bouquet to make up for not being able to celebrate Valentine’s Day (and also to celebrate his last day in rat race). It was supposed to be a surprise which turned out to be a disaster. I went out early in the morning when the flower arrived at my doorstep. They tried to contact me but my phone was out of network for hours. Quite a bit of drama. Phiew!


Feeling bored at home after he left, I decided to camwhore (using Phone Booth application on my Mac).














Girls love romance. Deal with it, ok? :P

Shifting Out

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Business

…. from holiday mood.

Last few days had been very relaxing. We put our restaurants thru a “stress test” a.k.a. running by itself. The outcome was obviously good. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the chance to use the word “relaxing” in my description.

Yesterday, I was hanging out in XCool house and when I was about to leave, he told me to stay back if I want to 拜天宫. What is that? It is a ritual for Hokkien Chinese to pray to the Heaven Palace on the 9th day of Chinese New Year (at the struck of 12 midnight). This is a ritual my mum’s side of relatives used to practice when I was younger. They are Hokkien Chinese. As we got older, my mum and her relatives gradually stop practising it. It’s nice to revisit. The sky in Klang was lit up with lots and lots of firework. Fireworks are great. They lift our spirits. As I admired them, I made a few more wishes and talked to Universe thru my mind. :P I’m not greedy, just an opportunist!

Today, I officially went back to my work. Was checking out some Inland Revenue things that I need to fulfill for my shop in the area of Human Resource. So much work to do. The thing that really annoyed me was that they require us to use 3.5 floppy diskettes to send in to Banks to make payment. My goodness. I haven’t used those ancient device since my secondary school days. WTH.

Eat Eat Eat!

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Just For Fun

That’s what Chinese New Year is all about. 15 days of feasting. Chinese has a saying “it is a fortune to be able to eat”. It’s only the third day of Chinese New Year and I’ve stuffed many food into my mouth. Look at the spread for steamboat dinner of 9 pax at my house two nights ago…

Tsk tsk.

Thank goodness I am half vegetarian. That helped me to control my diet to a certain extent.

My shop’s business is doing extremely well since reopening after one day’s rest. I’m doing a stress test for my staff to see if they can handle everything by themselves. So far so good. My sister and I haven’t been going to our shop for four days.

Tiger Year is here!

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Just For Fun

Roar…. roar!

I just got back from my family reunion dinner not long ago. This year’s Chinese New Year celebration is very different. This is the first time I’m celebrating the festival in Kuala Lumpur. My relatives from Johor and Singapore will be coming up north to join us. Tonight, my reunion dinner was with relatives from my mum’s side. Caught up with my aunties, uncles, cousins and nephews. I’m so full now…. Being a half-vegetarian sure helped me in watching my diet. Tee hee hee….hiccup!

So, what are the differences between CNY in Johor and KL?

1. They sky in Johor will be filed with colorful fireworks for hours pass midnight. They will be a few families lighting firecrackers (against country’s law prohibiting them to do so). In KL, it’s so quiet.

2. Less food in KL. In Johor, we’ll be munching all the way. (my siblings agreed with me on this). Such a bunch of gluttons…tsk tsk

3. Less CNY TV programs in KL. If we’re in Johor, we’ll be tuning in to Singapore’s Channel 8.

In conclusion, CNY in Johor is much better than in KL. There’s just more excitement. CNY without firecrackers made one feel like a big part of the festival is missing. :)

Regardless, I have a feeling this year will be just as awesome as the previous ones. My shop’s sales was VERY good today. It was unexpected. This is a good sign. Ho ho ho! Opps… wrong sound effect. It should be …. Huattt ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

CNY Clothes

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Just For Fun, Tze Ping

Such a hectic day. Went to LHDN (Malaysia’s Inland Revenue Board) to settle some tax issues. It was as though the place was having a family day. The whole place was packed with people. Then I realised today is the 10th of Feb and these people are rushing to make tax payments.

After that, I went to pick up my half-handicapped bf and hurried to MidValley. We spent whole afternoon doing our last-minute CNY clothes shopping. Took a break and caught Black Ransom in the cinema. The show has nothing to shout about. I fell asleep for fifteen minutes. We continued with clothes shopping and dinner.

Finally, I’ve got all my new clothes!!! Just need to get a pair of new shoes or two.

Thank you, dear, for the shopping spree! :D

Positive 101

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Life, Tze Ping, XCool

It has been a long day for me. I spent the whole day in the hospital accompanying XCool. He went for a minor surgery to infuse adamantium into his body and become Wolverine (haha… he wish!). He’s okay now and will be discharged tomorrow. Yay! He’s so funny. He kept cracking geeky jokes about becoming a mutant with the doctors. When he returned from the operation theatre still half-numbed and shivering weak, he saw me and asked if I missed him. All the nurses laughed at him and ’scolded’ him for being cheeky even under the effects of anesthetic. :D

Yesterday, I met up with Lowie and Koon Lip. Amidst our lazy Sunday afternoon conversation, Lowie mentioned to me that one of my readers commented about my positive attitude. It got me thinking. Am I a positive person? I like to write positive things. Does that mean I am really positive in real life?

If you were to know me two years ago, I definitely wasn’t. In fact, I was a pretty negative person at that time. I always think about the worst case scenario in everything that I used to do. An old friend used to advise me to be more like my sister, who appears to be happy all the time.

Hmmm. I definitely think that I have changed to become (a lot) more positive. Being positive is the biggest part about practicing Law of Attraction. It gives more energy to good things. I may appear to be emotionless and calm. I may look unhappy (as most people have told me) but I’m actually very happy inside. Over the years, I have learned to let things go and move on. I’ve wasted one year plus being depressed and I’m not going to waste more time sobbing at any challenges which may surface in the future.

Here are a few tips I’ve developed in the area of Letting Go and Letting God:

1) Give yourself some time to grief – Cry if you need to. Cry as much as you can… until you are extremely tired.

2) Do not blame yourself – There’s this thing about women. They like to blame themselves when bad things happen to them. Sorry for the stereotype but men don’t do that so often. You probably did what you could.

3) Find out what you really want – There is a saying… if you don’t know what you want, how do you expect others to know? how would you expect Universe to give it to you? Even if you got it, you wouldn’t know or appreciate it.

4) Focus on the things you’ve identified in (3) above – Remind yourself everyday that this is what you want.

5) Then, have faith that the item you asked for will manifest itself. It will. Trust in yourself and the Universe.

6) If you are always focused on the things you want, you will find it easier to forget the things you don’t want.

7) After all, happiness is from within. Nobody can make that decision but yourself. It’s all in your mind.

Argh…. few days more to Chinese New Year and I’ve no new clothes yet. Maybe tomorrow….. Good night, folks.

Thank you, Universe for the success of the surgery. :)

Idealist Healer

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Just For Fun

After reading my friend Heng’s blog on the Jung Typology Test, I decided to take the test. I am an INFP (Idealist Healer). Based on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healer_(role_variant), below are the traits of an Idealist Healer. Wow. So true!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Overview

Healers are introspective, cooperative, informative, and attentive. Their tranquil and reserved exterior masks a passionate inner life. Healers care deeply about causes that interest them, and they often pursue those causes with selfless devotion. They are highly compassionate and empathetic to the needs of others, seeking to bring peace, health, and integrity to their companions and to society at large. They want to heal the problems that trouble individuals and correct the conflicts that divide social groups.

Healers tend to be private individuals who have a strong sense of right and wrong and an idealistic worldview. They are deeply committed to things that are positive or good and may be inspired to make extraordinary sacrifices in attempts to achieve their ideals. They are prone to errors of fact as they follow their feelings more than they follow logical analysis. However, following their feelings also means that Healers seldom make errors of feeling.

Healers are often misunderstood as children. In practical minded families, their devotion to idealism may be frowned upon and may even be punished. Most other role variants can shrug off the parental expectations that don’t fit them, but healers are greatly affected by it. They want to please their parents and their siblings and, in attempt to do this, they may mask or hide their differences. This can create inner turmoil within the Healer. Healers are often better at detecting this inner turmoil than other role variants. Healers seek unity of mind, body and spirit, perhaps because of the inner turmoil caused during their upbringing.

Healers are adaptable, patient with complicated situations, and welcoming of new ideas and information. They are impatient with routine details. As they are aware of people’s feelings, Healers relate well with others. They are also comfortable working alone given their private nature. Healers have an interest in scholarly activities and often have exceptional language skills.

Occurring in only about one percent of the population , Healers can easily feel isolated. They value harmony and integrity in human relationships, but often find these values to be out of step with the more concrete pursuits of the rest of the world. Feeling “different,” they may wonder whether something is wrong with them. But those differences—an ethical nature, a devotion to ideals, a commitment to harmonious interaction—are in fact some of their greatest strengths.

Love and relationships

One of the rarest of the types, Healers can be both extremely romantic and extremely independent. They are likely to want a mate who won’t shrink from their expansive imagination. They are often attracted to those whom others have overlooked, given the Healers’ rare ability to see the positive qualities that lie beneath the surface.

In romantic relationships, Healers generally seek mates who, like themselves, have a highly developed inner life. An ideal mate must be open to the Healers’ expressions of unique ideas. Healers may need long periods of privacy, followed by periods of intense intimacy, so they are best suited to a partner who can adapt to these changing needs.

Generally thoughtful and considerate, Healers are good listeners and put people at ease. Although they may be reserved in expressing emotion, they are deeply caring and genuinely interested in understanding people. This sincerity is sensed by others, making Healers valued friends and confidants. They do not like conflict and go to great lengths to avoid it. In conflict situations, they place little importance on who is right and who is wrong. They focus on how the conflict makes people feel, a trait that can make them appear irrational and illogical. In such situations, Healers may benefit from stepping out of the situation temporarily so they can reflect and replenish their reserves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Occurring in only about one percent of the population” …. hahaha … I’m unique. Some say I’m a freak. Some say I am an acquired taste. Sometimes I do feel out of place and now I understand why. Love me or hate me … doesn’t matter. What matters is I love myself… the unique one. Dare to be different :)

Had my first Yee Sang with my Fookies today to celebrate CheeryDiva’s birthday. Always so happy in Fookies hangouts I’m so full I can last until 4 am.

Don’t stay up late with me. Good Night! ;)

Lap Chun (立春)

Published by moneymagnetbabe under Tze Ping

It’s that time of the year again. Chinese New Year is nearing. Today (Feb 4th) in particular is what we known as Lap Chun/Li Chun. That means it is the First Day of Spring. Chinese believe that the whole of your year will be quite like whatever you do (or whatever that happens to you) on Lap Chun. Ok. So, this was how my day went….

An SMS woke me up at 10 a.m. in the morning. It was the everyday SMS by XCool to greet me good morning. I felt very energetic and immediately sprung out of the bed for my shower. Called my sister to inform her of Lap Chun and that we should not work so hard today. :P She was just as superstitious as I am and she called it a day at the restaurant. Called my dad to make sure that he banked in my cheque and he did. Yay! (Banking in money on Lap Chun symbolizes that a lot of money will be coming throughout the whole year)

Very quickly, it was lunch time already. I put on my super red t-shirt went to look for XCool, who was also wearing super red t-shirt. I told him to do so because wearing red on Lap Chun is to symbolize prosperity and fortune (plus it is my lucky color). We had McDonald’s. Then, I came home again to rest and watch TV. In the evening, XCool picked me up after work to have dinner in Klang. Food was yummy and surprisingly cheap. After dinner, we zoomed to his house. I watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs while he dozed off. Quite entertaining, I would say. Went back to close my shop.

What I’m trying to say is … I had a very relaxing Lap Chun with money banked in. This year will be like that. Relaxing, but with abundant of money flowing in. ;)

10 more days to Chinese New Year! yay..!!
