Buy Magnum Without Spending Your Pocket Money 2007-12-30 19:28:33 Today, i want to share with you on how to buy magnum in a smart way. I believe that many people especially chinese will buy magnum during weekday (wednesday) and weekend (saturday & sunday). But mostly they will buy magnum using their hard earned money, if they did not win on that particular day, they may feel very uncomfortable. Haha...Why must act and behave like that since i have some good way for you but it's only valid for weekend only. ImDavidLee Suggested Idea:Buy "Guang Ming" newspaper (RM 1.20) on every saturday and cut off the Magnum coupon which displayed as I posted below. By doing this, your newspaper only cost you RM 0.20 or if u buy the newspaper as usual one then u can buy your luck without spending your money. Depends on how u think la...Hehe..With this coupon, you will be Read more:Money

Food Saving Tips 2007-12-20 00:40:17 You can save quite a fair bit from your daily food depending on your lifestyle. Below is the common method that I always do and may be can help you on how to save your monthly expenses.1. If there have choices for me, I will prefer "Ta Bao" (take-away) food instead of eating out which may cause you to order drink? A 2-person meal in a normal restaurant with 3 dishes will cost you more than RM30. While take-away for two persons will not cost you more than RM10. Try to imagine if having your meal at luxurious restaurant. For sure, it’s very nice and can enjoy the good environment but when pay your bills; it’s not only pay for your food but also the environment that you have enjoyed.2. Sometimes, you may ask your mother for some good recipes. Cook at home is also another good idea to save Read more:Saving

Vending Machine Business 2007-12-18 19:32:01 I am wondering whether this kind of business can provide good side income or not.Well, personally think that there is a bit of risk since you have to prepare a large capital first. Then, you have to look for a location to place the machine and rent the place from the owner and it can only give a good return if put on the right locations. You have to consider the maintenance cost as well. The only winner I see from this business is the company that provides the machine. Some of them are doing losing business as not enough revenue to cover the maintenance cost.Although u can get the machine from china with low cost, can get it less than 10k.Yet how much u can make? 1 litre only 20cents/10cents and with so many machines around lately...I dun think the owner will come out with the capital, pay Read more:Business

Good News For EPF Account Holders 2007-12-18 19:31:01 What do you think about the lower service charge set by the EPF? Currently unit trust companies can charge up to 6.5% in service charge for investments. This is either Public Bank or Public Mutual rate, which are the highest unit trust rates among other’s unit trust. From Jan 1 2008 all investment that are done through EPF will only be charged a max of 3%. It’s great news for those who invest in unit trusts through EPF. Do you think that's low enough or is it still high? Anyway, it's a great move for EPF to force to reduce the service charge; this will make the UT industry more healthy and active. Indirectly, this move will make all the UT companies to reduce the normal service charge as well. I think people should not just think of it from one point of view.Lowering the initial fee is Read more:Account

Hong Leong Credit Card 2007-12-18 19:30:24 Yoyo... I applied the Hong Leong
credit card and it took only 3 weeks to process...I received MasterCard (Mobile Master) and VisaCard(MTV Card) at the same time. Total shared credit limit is RM 4500. Yesterday, i spent some time go to Hong Leong Branch to activate my account instead of calling to Customer Service Centre for activation due to i have some more important questions that need to ask. Indirectly, i can also save my phone charge because need to call to KL number (03) instead of toll number (1800) if activate myself. I have advised to use it for at least 3 transactions for each of the account within 60 days. If unable to do that, then will be charged RM80 of each. Hong Leong Master Card offers me 2 years free annual fees and Visa offers me 1 year free once you have activated its. Read more:Credit Card

Debit Master Card 2007-12-05 21:29:54 As u known, Master
Card is running heavy TV advertisements to promote the debit MasterCard. I have applied a PB Visa Electron debit card 2 weeks b4 but til now still did not get the approval yet and mayb will try apply AmBank NexG MasterCard also within this few days. What is Debit
MasterCard?Basically, debit MasterCard card is a card which linked to ur saving or current account and allows u to make transactions using ur funds at any merchant that accepts MasterCard.

But minimum is RM30..hahaWhere to apply?Currently, u can apply Debit MasterCard card from 2 local banks: AffinBank Berhad and EON Bank Berhad.AffinBank Debit MasterCard — Generally, any1 who has an AffinBank acco
Long or short domain name ?? 2007-12-05 19:58:52 As u known, domain
names can b of any length up to 67 chars. U don't hav to settle for an obscure domain name like ppo.com when wat u mean is PangPuiOng.com....... Some argue tat shorter domain names r easier to remember, easier to type n less mistakes - for eg, "getit.com" is easier to remember and less prone to typing error than "imthemostpowerfulpeople.com"... Others argue that a longer domain name is usually easier to understand - for eg, "ilmmh.com" is difficult to remember and type correctly, whereas if we expand it to its long form, "ILoveMyMumHair.com", we are more likely to remember the domain name....Which would I go for? I'd go for the shorter name if I can get a meaningful one... However, I would probably avoid extremely long names which combine frm 67 chars.Allow Blog Feeds

Money Saving Skills 2007-09-27 21:04:41 Here are 5 tips you can use to help improve your personal financial situation and save more money:1. Pay Yourself WeeklyOn a weekly basis, pay yourself $25-$50 and immediately put it in a safe place. You can even open a special savings account to help minimize or eliminate impulsive spending. Think about it this way, if you paid yourself $25 a week, in two years you'll have accumulated $2600 (not including interest)!!! 2. Don't ShopStart using the "Need or Want" strategy. Before you spend a single dollar on anything, ask yourself, "Do I really NEED this item, or do I just WANT it??" You may find that many of the items we purchase, we do so just because it "caught our eye" or it was "an impulse buy". All these excuses just add up to wasteful spending. 3. Track Your SpendingTake the time to Read more:Money
