Just yesterday, I got a called after shopping at Longchamp and Kate Spade. The credit card company suggested that I can pay slowly with half a percent interest a year for 6 months time. I pay my credit card in full all the time and I know that it’s the Credit Card’s company to make money by soliciting their customer to pay over time rather than in full. If I take the offer at half a percent interest, the bank makes money off me, and if I decide to buy something else, and my salary isn’t enough because I’m thinking, heck, I’ll just pay it over time. The next thing you know, I can’t pay that half percent in 6 months time and I’ll be owing more and more. Then, all of a sudden, your salary is just to pay off the stuff you bought a year ago and you can’t buy anything new because of you decide to pay your stuff over time a year ago. Continue reading »

The picture to the left is a picture of the swimming pool in my new home in Jakarta.
Just recently I switched to a system without chemicals for my swimming pool as big as 11 meters by 4 meters. Although they advertised as “Swim without Chemicals”, my pool is an outdoor pool. So the pH balance will still be unbalance and that would still involve a chlorine to be added. But it would reduce the chlorine drastically, by 70 to 80 percent.

It’s interesting how an earlier research suggest the U.S was where people desire to live in.
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) – Vancouver has again topped a list of the top 10 most liveable cities in the world, giving the Canadian west coast city an extra boost as it opens the 2010 Winter Olympics.
