What would you do if you receive $1 million dollar tomorrow?
I read an article about what you should do when you win the lottery. It was written by a well-known financial planner based here in Brisbane.
Now, setting aside the lottery part, just imagine ourselves in that position. What would you do if you were to receive $1 million dollar tomorrow?
If it was me, perhaps I would:
- Leave the money in FD-like accounts until I graduate.
- After graduation, I’d take out some to pay for my CPL/IR and Flight Instructor Rating Course.
- At the same time, acquire some investment properties and also set up a share portfolio.
It sure is nice to daydream huh? :D
Filed under Personal Finance | Comments (5)Blogging Your Way to Financial Freedom
Blogging your way to financial freedom. Is it really possible? Personally, I’m rather sceptical. Unless you’re giving full-time attention to it and have a vast network of blogs and websites, then it’s hard I reckon. It’s possible, but it’s hard.
Being a blogger is just another job. You can create some side income with it like what Kenny Sia and a few others have done but I doubt that one can classify that as a passive income. It’s not really an investment-like venture. The reason is that if one neglects his blog, not much money can be made. Also, a lot of efforts need to be put to market your blog. Blogging professionally is more business-like I think.
Filed under Blogging | Comments (7)Job Interview: Do you tell the truth?
As I about to enter the next phase of my life, new set of questions come to mind. One of it is about job interviews.
I’ve always wondered one thing about job interviews. Do people usually tell the truth about themselves or do they sugar-coat things to make it sound much better?
Really, I believe that everybody has their own weaknesses. So, when asked by potential employers, how does one go about explaining their weaknesses ‘diplomatically’?
Lying is a definite no-no I reckon. What do you guys usually do?
Filed under Career | Comments (5)One should not have high expectations
Last semester at uni, a lecturer gave one of the silliest statements I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
According to her, one ’should not have high expectations’. One should ‘lower their expectations’ so as not to get ‘disappointed’.
What in the world??? What a way to educate your students huh?

When I first started trading and going into small-time ventures here in Australia, I had set an objective. I told myself, when it’s time to return to Malaysia, I was going to bring back a Mercedes SLK 200 Kompressor with me. Hehehe :P
Filed under CFD Trading/Share Trading, Life in Australia | Comments (3)One of my early trades… and the most memorable one!
I’ve done many trades since I first began participating in the financial market a number of years ago. But I have to say that this particular trade was the most memorable one.
What company did I trade? It was Zinifex Ltd., a mining company that has since been taken over by another company.
