If I Have A Million...

If you are given a million dollars, you can do many things with it. But does the way you spend it "rational"? Some people may say, I want to donate part of it to the orphanage or old folks' home; some people may want to retire right away, find a peaceful place and live their till end of life; some people may want to enjoy e.g. going for long vacations. But for me, I will invest the money to earn more money. Though I know that I can't spend it when I die, But at least I know that someone will spend it for me.

I remembered that one of my friend said that she would want to buy a big big house if she has the money. So does this gives her the same satisfaction as buying a smaller house to stay and spend the remaining money to buy some properties to rent? For me, it's something like killing 2 birds with 1 stone. You have 1 sum of the money but you spend it in 2 ways to get 2 benefits in stead of 1. Trust me, not worth to invest in cars unless you can make it an antic. It's more recommended to sit in people's Ferrari rather than get 1 for yourself. Does this make sense?

Other than what is stated above, if we think from a wider aspect, it also gives you a start up point for your retiring plan. Do you know that many retirees do not have enough money for their survival till the end of their life? It's good that Malaysians have the EPF (Employees Provident Fund) which at least save up some money for them while they are still working. How about free-lancers? They earn but most of their income does not contribute to EPF. Sometimes, we must really think this really far ahead. Don't say that, "I will start tomorrow!" because your tomorrow forever will never be a today.

p.s. When mother's day comes, you give roses. But when father's day comes, what is in your mind? I hope that it is never be cigarettes or cigars.

Enjoy and have a nice Monday. "Happy Father's Day" to all fathers.

Facebooking

After having dissecting marathon for the past few days, I must really take a good good rest before starting on another new dose. So what if tomorrow is a Saturday, I still have to feed my rats though I am having world cup fever now. Haha.

I think facebook is nothing strange to us already. It serves many different purposes for many different people. Anybody can express their love to their love ones, anybody can get connected to any of the long-lost friends, anybody can make a secret not to become a secret, anybody can spend his/her free time on those applications and many more. But what I don't really like about facebook is that people can tell everything about themselves to strangers. Come on! Some may even want to report to everyone that they are passing motion in the toilet. Why not say that you are having sex in the middle of the night and who's your partner so on and so forth!

Besides that, many people can share videos with their friends' friends. I know that "Sharing is Caring"! But sometimes the content is not appropriate. For example like sharing some videos which has some violation elements, scandals, negative influences and many more. Ok, maybe there are only adults among us. But did you ever thought that a 10 years old kid can have a fb account? What if they assess into you profile and view those videos? A father which has 2 sons came by that day and asked me, " Do you think fb is safe?". Maybe and perhaps not! It's all up to you to decide!

Enjoy and have a nice weekday!

I Hate Taxi Drivers..

Sometimes I wonder, why taxi drivers are so "like that"! Especially KL taxi drivers. I didn't mean all, but they are part of the majority. They are real road bullies!!!

I was so tired on my way home just now but unfortunately met with this idiot taxi driver. He keep on horned me from behind because I didn't want to cut into the next lane as I thought that there was no need for me to cut into the fast lane. And this idiot finally cut out and went side by side with my car and horned me again. I shown back my blur look to him and pressed on the accelerator hard, turned out from that road and his taxi slowly lost from my sight. Too bad that I didn't have the opportunity to jot down his car number plate, or else there goes his "source of income".

I wonder where is their patience. They become even worse if they know that the car in front of them is driven by an ametuer driver. Come on! Everyone is also a road user. Be fair to everyone. They know that the public can't wipe them out because the public still prefer taxi even though they are now expensive. When it comes to parking, they are even worse. They can simply leave their car behind with half of their cars out of the parking box or even parking at the restricted area. Maybe that is not their own property, so they can "act without thinking". Anyway, just be more careful on those taxi drivers on the road. Don't get yourself into trouble with them, or else you will be in deep deep shit!

Remember and act smart!
