Holy Communion 2007-10-03 00:45:11
Ricsson’s First Holy Communion
is finally over. His Holy Communion was on 29th September 2007. As the group is very big, there were split into two session, one on Saturday and another on Sunday.
I remembered my own First Holy Communion was in Church of St. Francis of Assisi. It was a better organized session than this one. It was rather on last Saturday when Ricsson had his Holy Communion. During my time, my Holy Communion was considered more memorable and meaningful than this. There were speech given by the priest and the sisters. I wonder where are all the sisters now. Nowadays I do not see any sisters or nuns in church. Sisters used to teach in the church also, but now, I never see any at all at St. Anthony Church.
My Holy Communion was a better one. After the mass, there were group photo-taking. There were individual photo-taking by the photographers too. At St Anthony, there were photographers on the day, but there was no any strict procedures. I saw the
Heavy Debt Load 2007-10-19 06:05:11
“Managing Your Debt: Your Debt Load” — Will he read? Even if he read, will he practice what he knows?
I want to cry. I am very frustrated. His loans are never cleared. He does not have a regular paycheck and no proper job. That is fine if there are no loans, no extra interest payments to the banks every month. But that is not so. For some of his ‘own principles’ and money concept of him, he had taken unsecured loans, overdraft, cash advance and all sorts of Cheap loans or Expensive loans. He would turn to balance transfer when he cannot afford to have any more personal loans from various banks.
Loans are not all bad. I had taken Homeowner loans together with him. It is impossible to pay the full amount for a house. If there are no loans, he and I would not have a family now. But I just wish that he can quickly ‘wake up from his dreams’. I hope he can one day clear all his loans. I am having heartache. It is so painful, ach Read more:Heavy
Vexed 2007-10-19 05:05:11
This is where he would be found. This is what he will waste money on. This is what fools the man who only use his penis to think!
No money. Want to get rich. Money is easy to earn. But until now, where is the money? Very tired. Here I am, busy earning as much as possible. Even $5 for a post, I have to grab this single opportunity because tasks do not come in everyday; and recently, one of my money door had shut its door, locked me out. No reply was ever given when I had written to them in their forum nor individual emails or official email. No more PayU2Blog. Blacklisted.
Nothing is smooth in life. Why should I bear all these? No money. No business. What is it in his brain that he think? What is it that he do in Second Life? It is so bad to talk about others. But who can understand all these? Someone who always feel the other pasture is always greener and always feel that success is just so easy. When he claims everything is so easy, yet everything was not done!
Loans Phobia 2007-10-17 20:48:18
I hate to think of education loan. I have loans phobia. My family has too much loans. I would not want my children to have any education loan in future. I do not want them to have any kind of loans!
Today I just completed the application form for financial assistance. This is to apply for free text book for the children. The textbooks are getting more expensive every year. In the past, I did not know of this. I took old textbooks from neighbours and friends. I kept Ricsson’s textbooks for Clara to use. However, by the time Clara’s turn to use the books, all the booklists were different. Last year, I was glad I was granted free text books. I saved about S$350! With these money saved, I bought new uniform for Ricsson. Last week, Clara complained about her skirt being too tight. It is time I buy her new skirts too.
These are all the things which cost money. Education cost a lot of money nowadays. I had to fill up the application form. Unemployed, No monthly Read more:Loans
Sex Education 2007-10-16 18:47:49
Children are never too young to learn anything. Most people always think that children are too young to learn and that children ‘don’t know anything’. On the contrary, I feel that children should be taught. Children do not know anything if you do not tell them. If you always feel that your children ‘don’t know anything’, then you are restricting yourself to communicate with your children and your children will really grow up ‘not knowing anything’.
My father always taught the children, which is me and my brothers and sisters sex education whenever there was any chance. I thought that was very good. Similarly, I taught my children about sex whenever appropriate.
Last Sunday, while cycling, we came across this advertisement. It was the children who showed me this advertisement. They did not know what this advertisement was about. I made use of this golden opportunity to tell them what is condom and what the banana really means Read more:Education
Mega Deals 2007-10-15 08:26:43
I am searching for some mega deals on Notebooks. My dell notebook is operating solely on AC current now. Anytime the cable drops off, the laptop will not have anymore power. The battery is totally flat now. It is not even one year yet. Shall I buy HP Notebook or Dell Notebook again? Or shall I buy desktop instead of notebook? I think I will let the prices decide for me. If I can find any cheap deals, I will decide about that.
Besides shopping at shops, I also look at online stores for some coupon deals. Coupons can save a lot of money. Two weeks ago, I had no coupon for eating Macdonald. I met Belinda. She gave me some coupons. In the end, I managed to save some money and I have free burger and nuggets. This is definitely a good deal! EdealFinder.com is a place where you can find coupons and deals. They have just what I am looking for — Dell coupons and HP coupons. In addition, there are ShopNBC coupons and many other coupons too. Shopping with coupons reall
Philadelphia SL 2007-10-14 08:26:44
I am at Philadelphia
, at Topgol. This is a beautiful city. I chance upon it when I visited Richard there. Just besides Topgol is another beautiful sim with great castles, Medieval Palace and Village. I had spent some time walking around Philadelphia. It was rather quiet. I spent most of the time at Medieval Palace and I will put up the pictures the next post.
Richard has some land at Philadelphia currently. He had some prefabricated stores on sales and land for rent there. Anyone who wish to do some business in Philadelphia or have a residential area there may contact me or Richard. He had added swimming pool and dancing pose balls to the area too. Below here are beautiful pictures of Philadelphia.
Casino Fantasy 2007-10-23 03:47:02 Casino
is always his fantasy. He loves to dream. He loves to dream big, have big dreams, dreams of becoming millionaires. He want to earn the most money within the shortest time. He want fast money and easy money. He wants thrill and wants fun at the same time. What are the things that you can do if you want fast and easy money?
Gambling seems to be the answer for most men to when it comes to striking instant wealth. Every week, many people crowd around the 4D shops, betting for sports, TOTO and 4D. When you go casinos, you see more men than female.
Can you really get rich through the numerous online casino on the internet? There are even casino affiliate programs for anyone who want to earn extra money. Is it really that easy as it seems? I do not believe in easy and fast money. Depending on your intention, if you go online casino to play, but your main aim is to win, and not winning small money but big money, then you are carrying a strong desire to win, I called that
I Cooked Noodles 2007-10-23 03:41:55 This morning I went to the market to buy noodles — Mee Tai Mak(Lao Shu Mian) and Guo Tiao Mian. I wanted planned to cook for lunch and dinner. I bought bean sprouts, fish balls, chicken rolls and fish rolls and fish cakes.
In the past, for twenty cents of bean sprouts, I need to spend quite a long time plucking the roots away. But today, twenty cents of bean sprouts are so little. For less than 10 minutes, I finished plucking all the bean sprouts.
Lunch I cooked Mee Tai Mak. Clara loved the chicken rolls. I love to eat my own cooking. It tasted so much better than than outside food. There was not enough Mee Tai Mak and I ate Mian Xian. I ate Mian Xian with fried shallots.
These are fried crispy shallots by my sister. They are the best! I only like these and those fried by my mother. No commercial shallots can be compared to home fried shallots!
Bad Credit Remedy 2007-10-22 15:21:11 If you are those people who failed to pay your monthly loan instalments regularly or punctually, you might have bad credit history or bad credit record. Having bad credit record can have unfavourable consequences. There are always unforeseen circumstances, the circumstances beyond our control in our life such as illness and diseases strikes, accidents, divorce, retrenchment, unemployment and so on. These are circumstances which leads to money loss and during emergency, an urgent sum of money is needed. To find extra cash, many people have to seek the help of friends and relatives for money. But how many times can you really borrow money from your friends and relatives? These people may even shun you or renounce you when approached for money.
Maintain a good credit history is the best, so that we can obtain easy approval when we apply for cash advance, personal loans and other emergency funds to our pocket. I had written in Money Kingdom about what happened to my father-in-law Read more:Bad Credit
SL Malyshkin 2007-10-20 20:22:31
Yesterday
This is some pictures of a beautiful beach sceneries taken while standing at the balcony of one of the bungalow of Richard Palace.
Malyshkin is one of the sim owned by Richard Palace. He has many lands for rent in SL. He used to sell lands, but he is doing more rentals now, though he is still doing land sales. Malyshkin is used to be full of slopes. It was not a flat land, but I saw him flattening his land some time ago and it seems a rather flat land now. There are lands that come with houses and vacant lands as well. Most of the 512 square meters land does not come with houses. SL residents can rent the land to build their own house, own office or business, parks, shops, playgrounds, clubs or just anything. It costs 199L to rent a 512 sq meters of land. For people who are not good at building, they like to have land that comes with houses. These are lands that are bigger, 1024 sq meters and it comes with a 3-storey big house, with balcony.

Houses with Halloween Decorations
Cycled To Church
As usual, this morning brought the children to the church for catechism class. It was raining so heavily in the morning. Luckily by the time we need to go out of the house there was no more rain. This means that we can cycle, that helps to save money, and cycling is a good exercise.
Just when we were about to reach the church, we saw the opposite terrace houses with Halloween Decorations, something which we had seen last year too. They are beautiful — cobwebs, skeletons, pumpkins etc hanging around the house.
Halloween Shopping
Same like last year, NTUC Fairprice was selling Halloween stuff. After the children had finished their catechism, I brought them over to see if they wanted anything. They were amazed with the many masks on sale there and they have fun trying some of them. Eventually they had some Halloween stuff and we went home after that.

Source of Inspiration 2007-10-25 02:54:18 双星情歌 (許冠傑)
I discovered something more about myself today. Feeling listless after the discovery of Page Rank decrease yesterday, I still had to complete my assigned tasks as well as other commitments. A few nights ago, I was working on a video on Sam Hui. Last night, I manage to finish up and I upload it onto YouTube. This afternoon, I watched the video. As I listen to the song, my inspiration came suddenly, and I just had the rhythm and momentum to continue with my tasks. This just got to show how much I love the songs. Inspiration
comes from the things we love. I gained inspiration through songs! I get inspired by the things I love. I am inspired by architectural buildings, medieval castles, arts and flowers.

Page Rank Upset 2007-10-24 02:03:31
My only getaway, my sightseeing, is only Second Life, the only place where I can see castle, build castle and explore medieval village and buildings.
I don’t feel like doing anything. That is what I FEEL. I feel like taking a break, a long long break. What I feel does not mean that I would DO it. Feeling and Doing is two different things. If all you do is feeling day in and day out, then you are not going to accomplish anything. People do not know your feeling. People only can see what you do and your actions.
No matter how much I wish and I much I feel, without money, you cannot do much in this world. Money cannot buy you happiness, but without money, you will not be happy too. You cannot do the things you want without money. You might say, then go out and look for money. Yes, I did. I went to AXA, NTUC, Independent Financial Planner, other full-time vacancies, but I cannot. Not about pay, not about job. It’s about family. They cannot do without me. The Read more:Upset

Nursing Course 2007-11-01 07:08:50
If only there were Nursing
Degree available several years back, I could be a staff nurse by now. My GCE ‘O’ Level result was good. I was able to enter the college or polytechnic. I can also start working, be a nurse studying at the nursing school in the hospital. Back then, the pay was very low. For ‘O’ level students, allowance of about S$750 if I remember correctly was given, and training was two years. For ‘A’ Level students, allowance was slightly more, perhaps about S$900, but these were not degree programs. They were merely certificate of nursing. I was not keen on the ‘qualification’, but I was very interested in the nature of the job.
I gave up ‘Certificate of Nursing’ and I continued with my studies. Few years back, I saw more healthcare courses available in the Polytechnic and now there are even Nursing Degree in the local Universities. How nice! But it is not for me any more.

Bible Course 2007-10-31 06:45:44
What really is Life? My first Grief has raised so many questions about life. The endless cycle of life and the purpose of living in this world, are things which I ask myself. Today, I have a clearer answer and I am still walking the journey to seek the truth.
I do not remember when I sign up for this Bible Course. It was a chance. I remembered very vividly that those were the days where I were very sad, full of grief and worries. I was helpless. I had to do so many things and yet I have only two hands and one brain. I have only as much time as all of you, but unlike everyone of you, we all have different life, different knowledge, different belief and different amount of money in our pocket.
Some people are lucky that they are born rich, their parents can give them money to start business, to buy their dreams and so on. Some women are lucky to marry rich husbands and some women are lucky to have husbands who will help in the housework, and in raising the children. Not all
Casino Mugs 2007-10-30 05:23:39
These are my collections of Free Mugs from Genting Highlands Casino
s or Casino De Genting. I have so many of them. It comes in two shapes, but over the years, some were broken and now these are what I have left.
If you have read my other blogs, I am not a person who frequent casinos, be it land-based casinos or online casinos. However, I do visit casinos, and I play casino games — both land-based casinos and online casinos. I treat casinos as playing games — I am not addictive to any games and for this reason, I do not regard myself as ‘gamble’.
Gambling is still gambling, some people might think. I totally agree with that. As for me, I always use money which I can afford to lose to play with anything. Once lose, I am not going to try to win back my money. If I win, I am most happy and I will stop if my inspiration tell me so.
What are casino games I play? There are many. I remember the first time I went casino with Richard, the first game I playe

天地有情
I love to take pictures as I explore Second Life. It helps me to capture those beautiful moments. I had coupled it with Gallen Lo song. This is one of the nice song he sang. I had one of his song as my handphone ringtone.
This is a land, Sooseunhwa, that is next to Topgol. Richard Palace has some lands at Topgol. This beautiful castle is somewhere near to Topgol. I was at Topgol, flying around and I happened to see it.
I must say this is a beautiful castle. Although the surrounding area is not so nice(as there are lands for sales and other undeveloped lands around, consider the castle alone and its interior decorations and its community is such a wonderful piece of work. I do not check who is the owner. I checked on the land area. If I am not wrong, it is made up of two lands — 4096 square metres and ~16k square metres (0.25 of a sim).
This castle is very similar to Castle Argh but they are not the same. Castle Argh is not as big as this castle. There

No more gambling, where do all the ‘gamblers’ go? Why ban casino in Second Life? Gambling is considered bad. It is bad, just like what you think about sex. Sex is bad if you abuse it — have extramarital sex, molest, rape, and sexual addiction. Similarly, gambling is considered bad — the compulsive or addictive gamblers risk bankruptcy, risk their families’ happiness and so on. If sex is bad, why can’t sex be ban as well?
Some people go SL for fun, while some people go SL for businesses. Some may only want to go SL just for research purposes or just to find out(explore) how SL is really like, since it was mentioned in the papers and even magazines. There may also be other reasons for entering SL, such as getting to know more people or dating. There are just too many things that we can think of and do in SL.

TV Entertainment 2007-11-05 14:01:28
The television is what keeps them busy and entertained. They love watching movies and television programmes. Now that examinations are over, they often watch CDs or DVDs in school. They often come back home, telling me what shows they would be watching the next day. Whenever their teacher told them about watching shows the next day, they would come home telling me the good news. They are just crazy about watching cartoons and movies.
Children are very active. It is so hard for them to sit still. The only thing which keeps them entertained and amused is really the television. Give them a good show which they are interested and they would sit in front of the TV for as long as the show lasts. Now that examinations are over, the schools are showing the children CDs or DVDs during lesson time. They are just so happy and excited about that. Everyday, they would tell me what shows they had watched for the day and what shows they would be watching the next day. They even want to b Read more:Entertainment
Woodlands Checkpoint 2007-11-02 15:01:29
Went to Woodlands Causeway or Checkpoint
(Don’t know what the place is called). Took a direct bus, 911 there. Somewhere this year, perhaps around February or March, Richard and I went there to visit the Adult Shop (don’t know what is the shop name), which was being mentioned in the TV. We went to the shop, but on this day when we came here again, we could not find this shop anymore.
It is such a old town here. I would not want to come here again, nothing special and nothing worthy to buy. There is Sheng Shiong Supermarket there, but I would prefer NTUC to Sheng Shiong.
Used to eat at the Food Market. After they had upgraded, Richard and I went back to eat our favourite food there, but some of the stalls were not there anymore. The food were not as tasty as before. So on this day, we did not eat the at the Food Market, but at the ‘looked New’ Food Court as shown in the picture above. In the past, it used to be a old coffee shop here. Everything
Teochew Porridge 2007-11-10 06:49:56
I swam longitudinally about 8 lapse, it was such a long time since I last gone for a swim. But I do not like to swim at Casablanca. The water is too shallow.
Went Casablanca For Swimming
This is a picture of Casablanca pool taken while waiting for Ricsson and Richard. They had went to the steaming room. The water in the pool was so cold today. We went to the swimming pool at about 4.30pm. When I reached there, I called my brother. He told me that Vanessa had just gone home from her swimming lesson. Nevertheless, she still joined us later on.
Cold Weather, Cold Water
The water was extremely cold. There was no sun today. Even Richard was scared to go into the water. I was very angry with him. He was the one who said want to go swimming but in the end, he was the one who did not want to swim. He just sat on the bench playing his games. I got fed up with him and told him off. Next he went into the pool finally.

I was very amazed at Vanessa. She could Read more:Porridge
Singing 2007-11-07 19:57:09
This is me in Second Life, playing my favourite songs with the piano.
I love to sing when I was young. I sang when I took my shower, I sang when playing and I sang as a hobby. As I grew up, I did not sing as much. Too much schoolwork. I only listened to songs while I study. At night, I listened to the radios as well. My mini Hi-fi was just beside my bed. It is almost turned on 24hours.
I used to go Karaoke class and I went to Karaoke with some friends. We sang English, Chinese and Cantonese songs. I am not so good in Hokkien and Teochew songs. I hardly sing now. Most of my time is devoted to earning money. Just yesterday, I was actually thinking what is my hobby. It seems like my ‘hobby’ is earning money — blogging.
If you love singing and listen to songs, you can be an independent artists and even bands at unsigned.com. Top genre includes Rock, Hip-hop, Rap, Pop, and many more. Unsigned.com is dedicated to providing independent Artists from solo, trio to bands, Read more:Singing
Website Maintenance 2007-11-06 19:57:10
Goodbye to my old template, Jakarta. I never know it is such an old version. It was outdated already. I love the template anyway. However, I always like 3-column template. Just as in housekeeping, the more shelves you have the more things you can put.
Now that my page rank has dropped, my tasks at PPP had reduced. As it is coming to the end of the year, everything need a cleaning up, both my real home and my virtual home, my websites. Peacemotivate.com is the first one to be ‘refurbished’. It had been updated with the latest version of wordpress 2.31 now. The next one would be peaceinspire.com and subsequently peaceinspiration.com. It was such a tedious job. I spent the whole day doing backups, downloading and uploading files.
When problems happened, there need troubleshooting. It is going to be a slow job. Everything is not going to be finalized yet. But for now, it would be temporary as such for Peacemotivate.com. The template used is the same as this tem Read more:Maintenance
Promote Your Website 2007-11-06 06:08:48
Google advertisements can be seen almost on every website that you visit. Advertisements are just a way of communication to visitors or passers-by. Just like any place you go in the real world, on the road, on TV, in cinema, in shopping centres and so on, you always see advertisements, in the form of banners and signboards, billboards or other signage.
The purpose of advertisements is to create consumers’ awareness and to increase customers’ confidence through products promotion. In so doing, the advertiser hopes to increase sales for their companies.
Every business in this world wants to attract customers. In the world of internet, every website is a business itself. Businesses selling products or services will not be successful without traffic. To have traffic, you need to place advertisements on passage ways — the sidebars of websites or blogs, the headers and footers of websites or blogs. It is troublesome for website owners to contact so many website Read more:Promote
Plastic Bags 2007-11-14 14:44:57
I collect plastic bags and paper bags. This is my latest paper bags collection. Paper bags are better when it comes to caring for our environment. They are degradable but plastic bags are not. For these reasons, we are encouraged not to use more plastic bags than necessary. However, when it comes to durability, plastic bags are far better and they are very good for storage purposes in the kitchen.
This is two plastic bags I collect. They are more durable than paper bags. Paper bags are not waterproof and they cannot withstand heavy weights. In the kitchen, I always use plastic bags for storage of food such as fruits, vegetables and meat for putting in the refrigerator. Plastic
bags are used for throwing rubbish too. Plastic Bags such as reclosable Poly bags like that of International Plastics is what my mother used in her refrigerator too. They keep food fresh and they do not occupy a lot of space in the refrigerator. International Plastics is the industry leader for cu
My Handphone 2007-11-14 05:03:06
I am very happy with my existing handphone,Nokia N80, with camera function and Polyphonic Ringtones too. Richard bought it for me. I can write notes, check emails and play games on my handphone. But I never use my handphone for surfing and checking emails. I never use the radio too. I mostly used my handphones for taking photos, videos, making phone calls and answering phone calls only.
Recently, I came to know that my big brother is having the same model of handphone as me. His is silver in colour. He prefers black colour. His ringtone is different from mine. His message tone is different from mine too. All of us like different things. There are so many websites that allow users to download various Free Ringtones but I never use any of those. I had only downloaded some free games from the internet. I do not play the games too. Clara and Ricsson played the games at times only.
I do not like Hip Hop Ringtones but I do not detest Dance Ringtones. My ringtone is th

Gombak TeoChew Porridge
Just as I was wondering if the Bukit Gombak Teochew Porridge is still there, I got a chance to pass by there on yesterday(Sunday).
Lim Chan invited us to her new house. There was no special occasion, but just a small gathering, to have dinner at her house. We went to her house after church by train. We alight at Bukit Gombak MRT station and as we walked along the pedestrian pathway, I watchout for the Teochew Porridge. Richard was eager to find out too. We used to go there for supper.
2 Coffee Shops along the road
There are two coffee shops along the road. The first one, which is nearer to Bt Gombak MRT station is not the one selling Teochew Porridge. It is very confusing. The one further down, away from the Bt Gombak MRT station is the one selling Teochew Porridge. Just opposite the coffee shop is the location where people used to wash their cars beside the drain. These are water from the hills from behind and my father, my brothers and Richar
Credit Cards Debt 2007-11-19 23:02:30
I hope he clear his debts soon. He really needs credit card consolidation badly. He has too much credit card debts and his finance management is very bad. Every time when I open the letter box, I see so many flyers as above, promoting loans, credit cards, balance transfer and so on. These are the things which can easily affect those people who are easily influenced by others — those people who do not understand themselves, those people who pursue fame, wealth and status.
If he is eligible for this special offer, he would have gone straight to apply for it. He would have saved a lot of interest payment and get to save a lot of money if can apply for the card. The Mint credit card comes with many benefits and features, just like any other new card introduction. Not only does the card look nice, there are absolutely No interest on balance transfer for 13 months, 0% on purchases and 0% bonus offer. This is surely very attractive introductory offer of the Mint credit card. Read more:Cards

Siglap Apartment 2007-11-18 23:02:34 They went Hotel 81, they went Ana Hotel, and many more. They even went open house, searching for apartments. She stayed in an apartment at Siglap, second floor. I knew very well what they had done. He could have told her about me and he could tell me about her too. For having an apartment to stay with her husband, she also has another condominium in which she had rented it out. She survives on rental income and she did not have to work. For having so much time — no children, no need to work to earn money and husband busy at work, she had so much time to flirt on the internet!
I am not going to forget that Siglap Apartment she was staying. I knew its location and I am familiar with its amenities as well. I even have her full address. I went there to eat Katong Laksa and I know very well, where they went and what they ate too. She sent letters to my husband even! Do you call that love letters or was she being unsecured? Anyway, if I have money, I can start searching for
