My cousin called me just now. She is complaining the exchange rate to me because she is planning to visit her dream country next month. The exchange rate she got is much expensive than what she expected. That mean she has to spend more money for the trip.

I am trying to sooth her as I do not want her to worry too much. Planning for a vacation should be a happy thing but not worry. However, my cell phone line was not clear enough for me to comfort her smoothly. My line suddenly cut off because of poor signal! Oh my! I need cell phone repeater to improve my cell phone reception. Why it always happens on the time I need to talk in phone?!

I am checking in the exchange rate again. Seem like GBP & AUD rate is dropping seriously now. I am not very understand what is the actual reason making those rate rise and drop. I read from some forum saying that Japanese are worry about the market economic seriously. Most of the investors no longer wanted to keep their investment and trying to get back cash to their country. That is why they exchange rate is high now, because everyone want cash now.

Is that real? Then is that mean country like Australia economic still pretty good? hmm…

My boss has bad mood since last week. Colleague and I not dare to chat in MSN nor browse internet often now. We are worrying that she might not happy with us and scold us.

No joke, she really will scold people when having bad mood. Some little case such as a staff forget to re-order office supplies could been scold like no tomorrow. Well, maybe lady boss is really much mood. We have to concentrate in our working now. Could not make any mistake in this period. :p

OMG! I could not believe that the exchange rate for Japanese Yen is so high today. The exchange rate is RM$40.00 to 1,000 Yen! My last trip to Japan was only RM$31.50 to 1,000 Yen! The rate almost 20% increased! How to buy stuff in Japan with such expensive rate now? I do not know I could spend anymore. This time have to tie my pocket and remind myself not to spend anymore.

I have a long discussion with my husband yesterday night. I notice that my inside income are not stable nowadays. I might lose the earning opportunity anymore. Therefore, now should be the time to discuss what should I do if I have no more side income.

Frankly, I could not survive with my monthly basic salary. My basic salary does not enough to cover my monthly expenses at all! I am still not sure what should I do now. My husband suggested me to check out the Subway franchise. He said I should try to start my own business instead of being a worker. Well, I wish I could be like what he said. But. I have no confident in managing own business. I have no experience at all! *sign*

I am planning to list some pre-order items in eBay. I do not know whether this idea working or not but I should have a try. Since I am going to visit to a country selling high tech products and their price are not expensive, I think should have some people who is interested in their products. I hope I could earn some money to use in my trip. :p

My father requested me to print out the fuel rebate form for him. He already renew his old car insurance and soon will go to renew the road tax. He is planning to claim the rebate together with the road tax payment. So that he does not has to pay so much.

I think this really a good idea. Our government started to reduce the fuel price since last month, although the price still not yet back to the previous one but it just maybe soon or later. To be safe I think better claim the rebate as soon as possible. Who knows our lovely government will or will not cancel the rebate at anytime?

I am interested to buy a flashgun after heard so much of benefit of using it from CP and Xilly’s husband. However, I am quite worry about the money have to invest into flashgun. I do not meant the almost RM1K for the flashgun but the battery for it.

Anyway, I found that Chooi Peng is taking pre-order for the Sanyo Eneloop Rechargeable Battery and charger now. She told me she has friend going to Japan soon and will help her to bring back the Sanyo Eneloop Rechargeable Battery and charger. The selling price is quite ok actually. It is cheaper than the price offer by shashinki.com. Maybe I should consider to get one before the preoder dateline.

Recently, I am started to play my Nikon D80 again. I love to snap my children photos. I capture more than 200 photos last few weeks when I brought them to picnic at Putrajaya! Lucky I have an 8GB Memory card. However, I having problem to store those photos now. My PC hard disk is not enough for the photos anymore.

I stored most of the photo in the hard disk and it already occupied 2/1 of the hard disk space. I think I have to buy another bigger space external hard drive already. I am thinking to get the 320GB external hard drive to keep all my photos. I think it should enough for me. Might not for long term but for temporary.

I felt very annoying when I received phone call from an unknown number. I do not know how the one calling is me that make me annoy especially when I am busying for work. If I am free I probably will check out who is that person keep calling me from that unknown number. I found a National Phone Numbers and Reverse Phone Number Lookup website to help me get detail information about any active U.S.. Telephone number. You should try them out if you have ever received phone call form an unknown number too. I think you should interested to know who is calling you, right?
