  I am a fan of Hong Kong radio. RTHK was the first internet radio I discovered years ago. Now it has an iPhone apps and you can listen to Hong Kong radio using Wifi. How cool is that? To install, go to your appStore and search for RTHK. The icon below would appear and just click install.

  
  
  

  Whenever I am working from home, I would switch it on. Some of the DJ is really humorous. Humor does relieve me from a stressful workday.

  
  
  

• My Painting Project

  One day, I saw a little stall selling DIY painting. I fell in love with it because of my itchy hand. I decided to buy a small one to see if I like it. I did the small one within 1 night. I went back again to get a mid size one.

  
  
  

  The mid size one took me about a week. It is fairly easy to do. On the canvas, the image is numbered and in the painting package, the numbered paint is provided for you. You just have to paint according to the number. You do not need to use much water, in fact as little water as possible. It is suggested to paint one color by one color and top to bottom. For me, I paint the picture first because it motivates me to carry on.

  
  

  

  
  

  Probably I will buy another set to do but the collection for mid size one is limited.

  Property investment is booming in the Penang Island. There are a lot of investors who are into buying property. Last week, there was a new condo being launched and I heard that people will queue for 2 days. I am not sure if it is makeup publicity. I read in a property website that the developer may have paid someone to be in the queue and spread some rumors that the property is a hot cake. I am sure there are some naïve buyers who fall for those tricks. Don’t be one of them.

  If you know the property market of the area, you will be wise to know where to invest. Currently there are so many condo units in Penang that are empty. All are waiting for buyers to own it. Many could not even rent it out but they have to keep paying loan and maintenance fees. At the end of the day, the developer is the one laughing to the bank.

  Let’s not make Penang Island to be a place like Hong Kong where the property are too expensive for your future generation!

• Food Poisoning

  I really had a bad case of food poisoning I never had before. It happens the day I returned back from KL. I wasn’t sure it was the green curry or the fried oily noodle. I suspect it was both. I was feeling nausea the whole night. I woke up in the middle of the night, applied some oil on my stomach to get rid of the wind and then…..throw up.

  Next morning I had fever so I slept. The day after was better but the headache cling on. After that, it was nausea all the way. Next few days, I felt my tummy has a lot of acid. I guess I may need to get those antacids to make me feel better.

  The whole week has been horrible for me and yet my work is not helping. It is piling up! I am glad tomorrow is a holiday.
