Back in May, I had a very vague idea of eBaying my way to a brand new spanking monitor. It didn't pan out and I stuck to the red-less monitor(s) that have been faithful to me for years.
But now, the inevitable is here.
Instead of not displaying the colour red, the monitor now only displays a flatline!
Which means, the dreaded visit to the Ladang Buaya of Computers & Technology - Plaza Low Yat!
Original weight : 79kg, Current weight : 78kg (damn, not again)
No, this is not about
selling bogus brands at exorbitant prices or convincing friends and family to
join a plan that you yourself believe half heartedly. I'm talking about Scour (www.scour.com) the "Social search engine".
In what we hoped to be the prelude of many posts to come, let us welcome September with a jolly good news;
We cashed-out our first AdSense payment!
The beauty of using Western Union is that it eliminates the waiting time for the standard cheques to arrive AND clear. All you have to do is to fill-in the yellow 'To Receive' form with the details provided by AdSense, and go straight to counter 7 or 8.
A week after returning from my trip to Australia, I met up with a friend in Subang. Long story short, five minutes into the meeting, I got a job at her workplace as a temporary worker, which fits my immediate need perfectly.
Convocation is a month away, so while waiting for the big day, why not kill time while earning some cash eh?
The deal was for RM7/hour and I don't get paid if I don't show up. Flexible enough I'd say.
Nonetheless, I needed to justify the temporary employment opportunity by analyzing the cost and benefit (Cost-Benefit Analysis is what they call it in economics.)
So I did a rough calculation to determine whether or not the employment opportunity costs more than the benefit I gain. (Balik modal tak kalau kerja kat sini?)
The world is getting more and more desperate and the recent fuel price hike is not making anything better. I think all this desperation is getting on my nerves. Today, (22.7.2008), my home is the victim of a break in. The CSI just left after getting 3 sets of fingerprints from the crime scene. And the amazing thing was, it was done in broad daylight!!
Surprisingly enough, my brother and I did not lose anything, but my parents lost RM5000 worth of jewelleries and watches. I know people need money, but don't lah go and rob my house!!

Having said that, let me suggest those who want to gain some extra cash to work part time....that's what I do! But many of you might ask how much income does it bring and is it worth it? Let us make my part time work routine as a case study and hopefully those who are thinking of robbing Ken or Gymz's house, might just see the light and act accordingly...
Part-Time
