Gardening

I love to look at plants and I am glad I have a small garden. However it needs to be managed properly. I don’t have any extra time to do any gardening. I wished I had more time to spend in my garden.

I also need a compost tumbler to put all my compost inside to make fertilizer. This is one good way to recycle your compost. I am sure your plants will love the compost fertilizer.

Thinking Of A Change

I always wonder if ever I can change my occupation, which other occupation I can do best. I do have a liking in Convention Services/Events Staff Jobs but not sure if I can excel in it.

With these kinds of jobs, I believed I can work for hotels. Isn’t that cool? I will also get to meet lots of different people which I like. I like to learn about people’s culture.

If I ever lose my current job, maybe I can consider this.

Household Tips: Iron & Folding Bed Sheets

Ironing is another challenge to me. Often I cannot get it right and do a good job on it. However I am still discovering new ways of doing so.

Some handy tips on ironing

- Iron in a position where you are comfortable, the ironing board height must be right for your position so that you do not get backache.

- Iron in a cooling room, as the heat from the iron can make you all sweaty and uncomfortable. You can use some soothing music to lighten up the mood.

- Place a aluminum sheet below your iron board cover. It can reflect heat so that it automatically iron both side of your garment.

- You can use quick spray starch to ease your ironing. Just add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 2 cups of water, stir it and pour it into a sprayer. Spray it on to the garment when ironing.

Here is a video that show you how to iron and fold your bed sheets.

I was browsing through the fuji digital cameras and I have to say that I like the Fuji FinePix Z800 EXR model.

It has wide 3.5” LCD display that allows you to view the best quality pictures. I am sure you won’t go wrong with capturing some beautiful scenery. On top of that it has a motion Panorama 360 that allows you to capture the scene around you in a single photo. It has some intelligence system which it is useful of amateur photographer like me to take good pictures.

Little Memories

If my grandpa was alive today, he would love to have these backwoods cigars free shipping. Once in a while he will smell his cigar before lighting it up. Then he will tell us some stories of his old days. That’s how I remember him. Maybe I was very young at that time, I couldn’t remember any of his story.

Besides that, he has a pet monkey. I like playing with his monkey. After he passed away, his monkey was passed on to my mom. We took care of it. It did live a very long period of time.

All you need is soda bicarbonate (baking soda) and vinegar. Just watch the video.

Mitigate Risk
10.01.11 | Permalink |Finances, Investment, PP| Comments Off

Would you ever take a personal loans for investment? It sound risky right. However if you take a loan to get a property and put it out to rent, it is also an investment plan. The risk here is much lower right. At least you have a property to sell off if the investment fails to minimize the losses.

Every investment you make has a risk but different degree of risk. Who say that putting money in the bank is risk free? Well the bank can go bankrupt and your money is in cold water. But the bank going bankrupt is a small probability.

I am not a finance person but I still do some research and homework before starting an investment. I would suggest you do the same before putting your money in.
