Cell phone Plan

Posted by candymok on 31st August 2005

Our household has three cell phones: My Father, Mother and I. We do not talk much on the cell phones because we always transfer the lines back to work or home. Therefore, we need a cheaper plan with a few basic services such as voice mail, call waiting, conference call & Caller ID.

My budget will be 3 phone lines, 2,000 minutes family plan and cost around HK$200.00. Is it possible?

Another Dream about my Mr. Right…

Posted by candymok on 30th August 2005

Hello! Mr. Right… where is you? Are you hiding from me at this moment? Will you show up in my life soon? I really want to know you now. Can I wait a bit longer before I getting into another silly guy? Maybe…

Anyway, I dreamed about my Mr. Right last night… That’s crazy!

"I have learnt my lesson well
The truth is out there I can tell
Don’t look back and don’t succumb
To their lies and goodbyes
Live your life without regret
Don’t be someone who they forget
When you’re lost reach out for me (aah)
And you’ll see she’s not far
Northern Star
Northern Star, aahAah, aah"

Northern Star… I am looking for you.

* Extract from the Lyrics of Northern Star, Mel C

103 Bus Route

Posted by candymok on 29th August 2005

Waking up extra early this morning, I was ready to ride 103 bus to get to the gym in Causeway Bay. The bus route was smooth and fast which I enjoyed checking out the current view of Hong Kong on the upper deck.

Obviously, skyline has been changed so much since the removal of the old airport; loads of new flashy tall buildings have pop up in the Kowloon areas which block away a few parts of Hong Kong Island View. Personally, I don’t really like it. I think those owners of buildings were greedy because they just want to have the Best view without the concerns of the overall pictures of Hong Kong.

Anyway, it only took me 25 minutes from the bus stop next door to my destination. If my schedule is not tight, Bus 103 is a great choice.

Volleyball Practice

Posted by candymok on 28th August 2005

The volleyball practice was so fun and my teammates told me that my skill has been improved. Thanks to Gym! Otherwise, my arms won’t be getting strong day by day. I enjoyed the practice so much more this time because I have not played for a while. Also, the relationships among the teammates were closer.

Shall we win in the next game?

Should I get a second job?

Posted by candymok on 27th August 2005

It is an interesting question. Since I am not studying in school and seem to have plenty of free time, should I get a second job for extra cash? Here is the analysis.

Pros:

- Branching out.

It is a good chance for me to be exposed in various type of industry as a part-time worker and gain more working experience.

- Making more friends.

I want to meet new people and expand the social circle.

- Extra cash.

Although it is just a part-time job which might provide me HK$25- 40 per hour, a buck is a buck. Why don’t I keep saving for the emergency?

- Goodies from work.

Like me, I want to work for Starbuck so that I could learn how to make coffee for free. Or if I work in my favorite boutique, I could shop with discount.

Cons:

- Spend less time with my family.

Honestly, I do not spend enough time with my parents and only have dinner with them a few times a week. If possible, we should watch movies, go to concerts, travel & hang out more often.

- Time conflict with my current job.

As a Marketing Executive in a Printing & Design Firm, I have to be on call 24/7. What if my day job has a emergency situation which needs me to resolve during the second job working hour? Should I stay or leave to resolve the problem immediately?

- Lower my day job productivity.

If my second job is a labor intensive type of job nature, my body might not be able to recover over night.

…… Well, I should find the part time job first. Then I can decide “to be or not to be” in this change.
