Last Thursday I was in KL.

I couldn't believe that I was in KL. I couldn't imagine myself having to depend on my legs to walk and trains to travel around. No more Honda where I can drive right to the door-step.

I went to college first to get my results. Then I decided to use PUTRA LRT to Dang Wangi to Leeds Regional office to get my offer letter. Wrong move man ( I wonder how Lynda managed to walk that loooong journey to Leeds Office). Especially with me lugging my luggage along.

I remembered wrongly that the last time my sis and I went to Leeds office, we actually used the monorail and not PUTRA to Raja Chulan. I only remember walking through some old buildings then finally to Menara Weld ( I guess we walked wrongly last time).

So at Dang Wangi, I walked to Bukit Nanas train station. Then I asked a passer-by how to get to Raja Chulan and she said use the monorail there. 'Hah...' I thought, so I asked whether can walk or not, she looked at me with bewilderment (emphasis on that word), then she looked at my luggage and then at me, 'You want to walk there ah?' Just looking at her expression and I know that it's quite impossible to walk to Raja Chulan. Anyways, I still decided to walk there.

I walked for what seemed like eternity and I finally reached Raja Chulan station! Lucky there was a city map on the way to Raja Chulan so I agak-agak know where Menara Weld (leeds office) is. But as I walked down the whole stretch of Raja Chulan, I was getting worried. I was afraid that I might be at the wrong end of the road and Menara Weld is situated at the end of the road. If I 'gosang balik' surely will eat off lots of time and I might not make it to the office in time. SOme more, I asked an Indian lady there where Menara Weld is and she said dunno. Wah...scare me half dead.

But luckily I asked a security guard there and he told me that I just have to walk straight down the road some more and will see Menara Weld. Thank God! Can't imagine how relieved I was when I'd finally made it to Menara Weld! BTW, I din know Menara weld is just opposite Menara MPL, the place where I had my Aberdeen interview. No wonder Menara Weld name sounds so familiar.

While in KL I'd the opportunity to read the book 'rich kid smart kid' (same author as 'Rich dad poor dad') which has almost similar content as Rich dad poor dad.

I would say that book gave me many insights about people.

There are 3 people in general:

1. The Poor
2. The Middle-class
3. and The Rich

The poor are people needing money, always seeking for financial help from the government.

The middle-class are people having stable jobs and are termed "passive investors". They only invest in low-risk funds such as mutual funds.

The rich are investors and entrepreneurs .

People from the olden days used to think, 'go to school, get good grades and get a good job'. A good job gives them a good sense of job security and stable income but what they didn't know is that even a high-paying job DOESN'T make you rich.

Robert kiyosaki (author of that book) went on to say that 'The poor and middle class work hard for their money. The rich have their money work hard for them.' (good point to ponder on)

And he said that to become rich, one has to think how many people he/she can serve. For eg in his case, the author initially gave classes to teach people to become rich. But then after thinking of how limited the number of people he could serve, he came out with the best-selling book - 'rich dad poor dad'. Now he could serve more people!

Besides, one has to be risk-taking and change the perception he/she used to have. Many people always have the fear that he/she might lose all the money in a business. But if we do not learn from past failures, we would not improve.

A few things I learned from the book:

1. Getting good grades in school doesn't make you rich in the end. The banker doesn't ask you for your report card. But instead, he asks you for your FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
2. Everyone is smart. But too bad the current education system only recognises people who are verbal-linguistic geniuses.
3. When we see something which is too expensive, we should say 'how can I afford it?' instead of 'I can't afford it'. Because as we say 'how can I afford it' will make us think of ways to buy it and therefore exercises our brain to be financially active. But 'I can't afford it' puts our brain at the stop.
4. Don't work for money but have money work for us.
   

I truly recommend people to read 'rich dad poor dad'. I finished reading 'rich kid smart kid' but only read halfway through 'rich dad poor dad' coz I was too lazy to stay in Borders for too long to read. Wanted to buy but...

HOW CAN I AFFORD IT?

For the sake of my health...

I had to drink this...

THIS..is called the drink of 5 greens

It's a mixture of the 5 greens - green apples, celery, bittergourd, cucumber and capsicum (green pepper). All loathed by me. I hate eating 'em. What's more to say drinking them?

OH..the pics are quite blur...please bear with it...

First of all, Esther and I 'gam bei'

ONE GO!! (adapted from beer drinking..haha)

URGH...finally I finished drinking! Phew! *wipes off sweat on forehead*

Disclaimer: Actually the drink not that horrible la...only exaggerating for entertainment purposes. LOL. I'm a bit 'sot' already

results out finally!

finally results came out! Praise the Lord! I met the requirements! I'm going to Leeds!



I'll be quite busy these days as I've to start packing just in case I go to KL next week. Mum said I might go KL and not return to Miri again as the air ticket is quite expensive. Hope I can make it to graduation night and see my college friends for the last time.

UK here I come!!!

Some article to read:

about hell 2

Joshua was admitted to hospital yesterday. But thank God that he was discharged at 1 sth in the afternoon. The doctor diagnosed Croup but mum said it's quite impossible as Joshua is too big for croup and besides, he didn't have fever. Poor Joshua was given antibiotics as big as one third of my little finger and he has to eat the tablets twice for five days! Poor boy.

Some photos:

Just for remembrance:


Joshua's IV drip. He's really brave as he didn't cry when the doctor injected him. I remember when I was on hospital attachment, there was a teenage girl who actually cried BEFORE the nurse injected her.



see the cute guy in the middle!
