Don't Let Your Fuel Storage Compartment Empty...Believe Me!

Do you always wait for the light of your fuel indicator in your dashboard that your fuel is low before going to a filling station? Please don't! I have a bad experience with that. 

I was a new driver at that time and I want to experience a lot of things about my car. One of that is fuel tank. I want to find out the real capacity of my fuel tank. I allow it to be empty

Do You Know That Body Car Wash is Different from Engine Car Wash?

If you send you car for car wash make sure you know the difference between body and engine car wash. You can do your own car body wash or if you are busy you can just bring it to any car wash shop. There are small car wash places which are run by out of school youths or just a small family car wash run by family's own children. These kind of car wash centers is good to help youths earn especially the secondary newly graduates during school holidays while waiting for the next enrollment. 

Do You Know That You Can Talk To Your Car?

Twenty-five years of driving gave me so much experience and discoveries, not just car problem issues, speed issues, road blocks, and other issues but experience in communicating with my car is part of all those experiences. At first I laughed at my friend when she told me that we can communicate with our car and our car listens especially if there is something wrong. I was new having a license at that time so I just smile at her and replied "is it?". After that I forgot already about my friend's story. One day I tried when I felt something was wrong with my car but the "communication" I made to my car is not sincere :) Maybe my car "knew" so my car ignored me :)

Parsley - Rich in Vitamins and Minerals

Parsley, a fragile herb that is not really difficult to find is a kind of herb that is rich in vitamins and minerals. It is usually used for garnish when finely chopped by sprinkling over sauces and gratins. Whole sprigs may accompany grilled and roasted meats, while deep-fried parsley adorns fried foods.

Corriander Leaves and Seeds

Corriander Leaves

The leaves are bitter and musky in contrast with the seeds as citrus-like perfume. Corriander's leaves should be added at the end of cooking as it is fragile or it can be sprinkled over a dish just before it is served, as its flavour dissipates when heated. The leaf corriander is greatly used in cuisines of different countries in sauces, beans or meat dishes and salads, often in combination with chillies.

My First Driving Experience

I got my driving license in 1992 so it's now my 24th year to have a driving license. Remembering the days when I first learn how to drive was quite an experience. Having lived to be independent most of my life, when I arrived here in Brunei, the first thing that I desired was to drive myself to wherever I want to go. Each time I see women driving their own car alone made me more eager to learn how to drive. 

Formula for Total Success

You want a major change in your life? Why some succeed and why some failed? What is the root of all problems, miseries, poverty and negatives in life? On the other hand, what is the formula for success? I can say that higher educational attainment is not really the formula for success. However, education cannot be set aside since education will give us the capacity to understand what is written.

Storing, Cooking, and Preserving Your Fresh Herbs

To store fresh herbs with short stalks, put them in an unsealed plastic bag or wrap them in a moist paper towel and refrigerate them. They should keep for about a week. Herbs with longer stalks can be treated like cut flowers: put them in a small container of water and leave them at room temperature, or refrigerate them, covered with a loose plastic bag.

If You Spend for Something...Do You Consider the Price First...or the Quality?

If you think of spending for something you want, do you care how much money you release from your wallet for as long as you will be happy and satisfied? Either something that you want to buy, food that you want to eat, restaurants where you want to hold your meetings, and name of hotels where you want to check-in, etc.

In my experience

Money...can we love money?

Talking of money, can we really call it love when we care much about money? 

"Money became a symbol and medium of storage and exchange for the individual's productive energy. Socially people relate to one another, seeks advantage from exchange and mutuality, look to others for what they do not have or cannot obtain by themselves. People value money because they value the benefits of exchange. By exchange, productive human energy becomes a force for constructive human interactions capable of fulfilling a wide range of human needs. People value money because it enables them to enjoy the fruits of other people's labor.

Wood Crafts

I just want to share with pride some of my husband's craft made of wood. In my previous post I mentioned about the benefit of wood elements. At first, I don't really believe that there are benefits of certain kinds of wood when it touches the skin. Actually, my husband's hobby which I believe he has the inborn talent with this line is making different kinds of things out of wood, copper, steel and whatever matter that he thinks can convert into something. We are married for 27 years now and he has been doing a lot of crafts that he never intend to sell but the moment his friends see his finished craft they buy from him because they really like his workmanship. 

Here are photos of some of his work: 

Life Quotes for the day

Just want to start the day with a quote:

"The weakest soul, knowing it's own weakness, and believing this truth 'that strength can only be developed by effort and practice, will, thus believing, at once begin to exert itself, and, adding effort to effort, patience to patience, and strength to strength, will never cease to develop and will at last grow divinely strong".

by: James Allen 

Indeed we are all weak as humans. Weakness that like what James Allen said that strength can be developed by effort and practice. By believing and putting a great effort, and patience so that strength will never cease to develop and will at last grow divinely strong to overcome our weakness.

It is better said than done but we just need to believe in ourselves that we can...and we really can.

Shopping

Years back before the Internet exists, shopping can only be done thru offline. We can only do shopping by going to shopping malls in our locality or shopping overseas for those who are in business travel or for those travelling just to make a tour. If we want to buy our grocery needs, we have to go to supermarkets or small grocery stores.

Money... a necessity for all

Yes...money is a necessity for all. Money can do lots of changes in our lives. Lack of money especially if we are in a situation where we don't have anybody to turn to can make us too desperate, that if we don't have the courage and patience, it might lead us into doing something we might regret for the rest of our lives. Lots of money will make us happy because whatever material things we want that money can buy, we can surely have it.

What Is Your Hobby?

What is your hobby? You can earn money with your hobby. Nowadays, it's very difficult to find a job. If you have a 9-5 daily routine job which you have a minimum salary that can hardly make ends meet, why not make your hobby as you part time job and who knows, if you think you are already earning more than your monthly salary, you can quit your job and make your own business. 

Things That You Buy...and Why

A very simple answer is: "because you need it."  Very simple and true, but did it ever happen to you when there were times you finally realized that you've made the wrong decision. A mistake that the result is a waste of your hard earned money.

If we enter a shopping mall we can see lots and lots of things to buy. Sometimes if we see something which is pleasing to our eyes we just want to buy it without having a second thought even if we don't really need it. I remember my very best friend who has a cute and very smart 3 years old son.

The Influence of Money

GOD had created all the resources to supply the needs of mankind. Humans used their intelligence to explore and develop those resources. However, not all humans have those intelligence and courage to do it. We owe it to those genius scientists who did the exploration  through science and technology, who spent years of their lives, some of them even risked and cost their lives to discover and invent the things that we all use today.

The good influence of money. Without money, the existence of science and technology had not been possible. Without money,

Family Budget Planning
