I’ve been researching on the property market for the last few days. It’s no longer a secret that recently there was a hike in property prices. I can’t help but to wonder if there’s a bubble brewing and when will it burst? I’ve gotten some many opinions from friends who are well-versed in this area. While there are no certain answers, I decided to wait a little.
This afternoon, though, I was looking through prices for all the properties I have once set my eyes on. One of my top choices caught my attention with its attractive asking price. This unit is considered a low-cost apartment but it has a fantastic rental yield. Depending on how you go about it, it can potentially bring in 10% yield, or at least 8% (minimum). I’ve called up the agent and will be viewing it tomorrow. If I could get a higher loan margin, I don’t even need to fork out any money and just receive cash-flow every month. This could be a good one while I continue to search for other good buys. Excited!! The mere thought of “kaching kaching” makes me happier than anything else. I am a money magnet. Money, money, come to mama!
Just end of last year, I wanted to get another really good property around that area. Sadly, I’ve missed the boat while busy setting up my business. The property has a high rental yield and now it has even shot up 30% in price. Oh well…I believe in abundance! There will be more good properties coming my way.
I started liking properties in 2008 when I bought my first property. The condo is now making 8% rental yield and the property price went up 20%. ^^ I’m also very happy to have friends like Heng and Mah, who are into it as well (and they are in the business too). It’s a lot better when you can get more opinions in this matter. Knowledge is power.
Sorry, folks. Still not ready to tell you my property buying experience for the last few days. Stay tuned….
Just got home from watching Robin Hood. Excellent! I admit I’ve never bothered to find out what Robin Hood is all about since young. The idea of a thief and all the dirty scenes just didn’t appeal to me. But after tonight, I realised my perception of the story was totally wrong (except for the dirty part. bleck!).
This movie was the movie XCool and I watched after a two weeks long hiatus. I’m just so excited and happy with the property investment strategy. I will write about that soon, please be patient. Very tired now and struggling to keep my eye lids open.
Very very happy today. (1) I found something that I love… so so much! (2) Received a call with an opportunity to make a big sales for the new small business venture. (3) Received another call bearing good news. I believe with all my heart that the news is true and highly likely. (4) Also, I am anxiously waiting for his next best-seling magical app to be in iTunes store. Yay!
Things are getting better and better everyday. I love my life! Thank you, Universe!
I am giving a Missing-In-Action notice. I’ve been running around so many places and it’s pretty exhausting. So happy! I’ve received one good news after another. Wish I could tell everyone what it is but this is not the time for it yet. As everything that I want to tell ain’t official yet.
Nevertheless, thank you Universe!
Universe, please help to ensure that the big sales go through!
Universe, please help me to find what we are looking for. Give me the ideal one I have in mind.
Thank you, Universe!
MMB will officially be M.I.A. for a few days. I will be back when I am back.

This weekend ended with a good note. I went to Low Yat just now because the silly boy wants to buy Super Street Fighter 4 for PS3. Also, I wanted to look at laptop bags.
After walking and walking around the mall, I got really bored. All the laptop bags are so “manly”. They don’t have many backpacks that are female-friendly. It’s either too big for my Mac or too fugly for me to carry. The silly boy got agitated because he couldn’t get a good price for the game too. We gave up and headed back to Subang.
I suggested to go to Digital Mall to check it out because it’s on our way. That’s where I found my bag!! It’s in red, my lucky color.
Thank you, ddabs for the bag. :* I love it!

Last night, I went for late night movie with XCool and two of my fookies. Initially, I thought I’ve managed to book Ip Man 2 and was so excited about it. I even arrange for a big group of 6 pax. When I was about to buy the ticket, the sales person said it’s for Wednesday night and Ip Man 2 is not played yet. I almost crushed. Felt so sorry and immediately called my friends to let them know. This is not the first time I screw mess up cinema’s seat reservations. I think I’ll let others do the work next time. lol. We ended up watching that local show Ice Kacang, which turned out to be quite good. It’s funny and brings back a lot of nostalgic/childhood memories. Just a little rough in the edges but not bad, I would say.
************************
I managed to convince XCool to practice using only positive words from now on. I kind of think that we’ve been using a lot of negative words and somehow it affects me. It’s funny how we try to use different word to describe something that we could have use a bad word to describe.
This has been a weekend of emotional roller coaster, starting from Friday. One minute I was agitated … next minute I was happy … then angry … then sad … then happy … etc etc etc …… Normally, people will say FML but because I am practicing Law of Attraction, I will say LML (Love My Life).
There’s so many things I want to write in my journal but all of them are private stuff. Besides, I don’t even know where to start. The rest of this post may not make sense to you but this post is mine. It’s for me to lash out everything that’s bothering me.
(wrote a lot of things and deleted them all)
On second thoughts, these things are too private and I have decided to exclude them. I’ve gotten my satisfaction by typing them out before deleting. Sorry. Bottom line is, I mind my own business, you mind yours. ok, pal? lol.
I made a resolution today. My birthday is about one and a half months away. I must achieve this before my birthday.
Universe, please give me the courage to follow through.
Thank you, Universe!
Thank you, Universe for empowering me to complete the tasks I have today. You’re wonderful.

Music is an important part of my life. I like to listen to song lyrics and relate them to my life. As I added more and more tracks to my own personal song list over the years, I find that I have a song for everything. Like when I was heartbroken last time, I made myself a car CD to listen to all the sad songs. Have you ever feel so down and when you listen to sad songs, they make you want to break down and soak in tears? I believe everyone will experience such (or similar) agony at least once in their lifetime. If that happens, for goodness sake, don’t listen to sad songs. It’ll only make you feel worse.
The Universe has been so kind to me since the time I started believing in Law of Attraction. I did it the Cold Turkey way. Somehow, whenever I listen to this song, my mood will be lifted instantaneously. It reminds me of how much my life has changed and I owe it all to Law of Attraction. I dedicate this song to Law of Attraction and Universe!

Made a wish, I can dream
I can be what I want to be
Not afraid to live my life
And fulfil my fantasies
I learnt a lot of tricks to help me live my life
You helped me find my paradise
When you came you were like
Sunshine through my window
That’s what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel
I’m on top of the world
Telling me I’ll go far
Reaching out, for the highs
You inspired me to try
I felt the magic inside
And I felt that I could fly
I’m looking at the world in an optimistic light
You made me appreciate my life
‘Cos when you came you were like
Sunshine through my window
That’s what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel
I’m on top of the world
Telling me I’ll go far
You are the calm
I am the storm
You are the breeze that carries me on
When I set adrift
You wink at me
You’re there for me
Sunshine (oh yeah)
That’s what you are
My shining star
Sunshine
Making me feel I’m on top of the world
Telling me that I’ll go far
Sunshine through my window
That’s what you are
My shining star
Today, I have a few things that demands self confidence. I am writing to you in hope that you will grant me a lot of self confidence and also to ensure the success of all issues.
Thank you, Universe!
Sincerely,
Tze Ping

Yesterday, XCool and I found a favorite hangout place to work when we are sick of being at home. The silly boy actually got sick because of staying in the house too much. After doing some work, we went to watch Date Night. The movie was really hilarious. Thinking of some scenes from the movie makes me grin from ear to ear. Quite a lot of profanity and vulgarity, which are uncensored.
Some things have surfaced in my mind causing some mixed feelings. I don’t know what to think about. I used to dread at the thought of it. But now, should I be more receptive? “What’s the matter with you, Tze Ping?”
I sent my baby to the workshop early in the morning today because of 1) broken horn 2) engine’s timing feels weird. While waiting for them to repair my car, I used my beloved-one-and-only-orange-skinned MacBook Pro to do some work. My car’s engine runs quietly now. Yippieeeeeeee!
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!
Every beginning of the month, after paying my staff, I will need to take at least one day to go around EPF, SOCSO, LHDN and more offices to settle Human Resources matters.
My first stop for today was the EPF office in Petaling Jaya. After parking my car, I took a 50 cents from my car’s coin box knowing that that’s the parking charge amount. When I was done with all the work, I whipped out my parking ticket and inserted it into the Autopay machine. To my dismay, the fee is now RM1! My goodness. They revised the price to increase 100%. Feeling very sore and all, I can’t help but to wonder… what would happen if I increase the price of my restaurant food by 100%. I think I might lose my customers right away. Sure. The parking fee is a small amount and customers won’t feel it… but look at how much more they are making!

Been a really tiring day. I have more errands to run than usual. XCool’s mum invited me to their house for dinner because tonight is Qing Ming festival. So here I am already at his house continuing my work. I stole some time to write my blog because I needed to release some tension and rest.
I’m still learning XCode and Objective C. Seems a bit complicated. Need to brush off the dusts on my programming skills.
It’s in red, my lucky color. 
Bottom line is, I mind my own business, you mind yours. ok, pal? lol.
