Open House, Financially inadequate, Credit Cards, Footie Night with McDonald's

Open House

At 4+pm I went to Brother Ton house with Brother Bob. Brother Ton’s was having an open house for his family, cousins and friends. I love it when I go there. Most of the time I’ll visit the cribs to spend time with BOJs. I love the bakso. Bakso is like  their family cuisine which is awesome. I love their Bakso deliciously good. enough said.

If I’m not mistaken, I’m the youngest BOJ in term of SOASC 2005 batch, but technically, there’s one boj who is younger than me (I Think). The point that I’m telling you this that, much of BOJ is more mature than me. Which is good. For me, although I’m more knowing in terms of whats happening in the rest of the world, but I’m still the childish kid around them. Speaking of mature, I learn a lot from their perspectives. I learn a lot financially from brother Man. So it wonderful to hang out with them.

Financially Inadequate

Speaking of finance, I’m definitely in trouble. Having only less than $2k monthly in the future will not theoretically be adequate for my living. Its Saving vs Needs Vs Wants. As Bro Man have said to me, I have massive list on my wish. Which is apparently true *shame on you lid*. Sometime I hate myself for being too desire about things. My wish will compromise on DVDs, going to the theater, eBay, Amazon, traveling, Sushi, several gadgets such as iPod, Computers accessories, internet website fees (and underwear per annual haha) and lots more. Because of this wants with my financial future status, I’m definitely will be in trouble.

All I can do is cut some of my list. But still I can’t decide which things to cut loose. Argh! If only I have own a Bachelor Degree or at least HND, it would be quite easy. Now, what I can do is to deal with it, and find a solution for it. But theater, DVDs and Traveling to USA should stay.. and Sushi too hehe.

I’m grateful for the BOJs, most of us are working already, and some really do get a good monthly salary feed back. And its not wrong to say, I envy them. Right now, I just need to be financially intelligence.

Credit Cards, own it? Or not?

I have a good talk with Brother Man about credit cards, and yes most of my friends disgrace for applying Credit Cards. And I’m the opposite guy. They don’t like Credit Cards because:

  • The yearly fee is a waste, especially you have no intention to use them;
  • Having credit cards will get them closer to debts.

Its true. For me having these credits cards, “Its my life style”. I don’t mind paying the yearly fees because I’m definitely going to use the service. I won’t use credit cards if I don’t have the actually money inside my account. And I do a lot of things with credit card such as ebay-paypal and Amazon :S. I use credit cards, because I stick with their Mojo, I’ll promise to pay it. And I won’t use it if I’m not sufficient. I know, this sounds like I should just own a VISA Electron or Debit Card; because the transaction will be much easier, which is directly the payment is debited on my account. But do remember Visa Electron/Visa Debit Card or MasterCard’s Maestro and SOLO is not hugely accepted around this world’s merchants. For the records, I do have both :S

So ideally (from my opinion) – I think you need to get two credit cards “brand”. Visa is a must and MasterCard will be an alternative, and if you have American Express it will be an advantage. At least own it for safety reasons; such as if your on your vacation or trip outside the country, or let’s say you missed judge the amount money you have in your wallet during your payment. Seriously Credit Cards can be lot of handy and can be a hero too.

My only advice is, be safe handling Credit Cards, and use it if you sure you can pay for it soon* and enjoy it. *Soon as in less than 24hrs :)

Footie Night with McDonald’s

Football (or Soccer for USA people) was so not good especially for LiverpoolFC fans (including me). Chelsea scored 2 goals (Anelka and Malouda) and NIL for Liverpool. On the early match Arsenal was celebrating a wonderful day as they scored 6 (Vermaelen, Persie, Arshavin, Fabregas, Walcott Bendtner) – 2 (Zonzi and Dunn) against Blackburn.

I want Xabi Alonso back :( And Jamie Carragher should perform better! or you will be replace by Arne Friedrich (well I wish!).

But the good thing about this match, (that I can be happy about).. While watching the games, my 2nd sis treat an take away Double Cheese Burger from McDonal’s and French Fries for ME!. Sweet! and $5 dollars Easi Cards hahaha .Thankx Sis.

04102009434Ok that’s all for my random post!

Dear God (I know prayers and tawakal should be not on FaceBook or Blogs, coz it should be in our hearts) but I hope you make walid life always be easy and let his dreams come true.. :) Amin/Amen.

Trauma: Xabi Alonso finally leave Liverpool FC to Real Madrid

alonso11 Liverpool Football Club this evening confirmed they had reached agreement for the sale of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, subject only to a medical.
The terms of the deal will remain confidential and undisclosed

Liverpool’s Xabi Alonso is poised to sign for Real Madrid on Wednesday after the clubs agreed a fee believed to be £30m for the Spain international.

Alonso: Real saga coming to an end

XabiAlonsoG275

The end of a summer-long saga over the 28 year-old’s future ended when Liverpool issued a short statement effectively bringing to a close his spell on Merseyside.

The statement read: “Liverpool Football Club this evening confirmed they had reached agreement for the sale of Xabi Alonso to Real Madrid, subject only to a medical. The terms of the deal will remain confidential and undisclosed.”

But although Liverpool will not reveal the details of the deal, privately sources were maintaining that manager Rafael Benitez had got his own way over the fee.

It is believed that Madrid made another attempt to end the deadlock with an offer of £30m that will rise to £34m depending on Alonso’s success over the first two years of what is believed to be a five-year contract.

Alonso had trained with his Liverpool colleagues on Tuesday afternoon at the club’s Melwood complex.

But as the Liverpool party headed for John Lennon airport and a charter flight to Norway for Wednesday’s friendly with Lyn Oslo, Alonso was heading back to Spain.

Real Madrid issued a statement of their own, confirming he will have a medical on Wednesday.

Assuming all goes well, he will join his former Liverpool team-mates Alvaro Arbeloa – who moved to Real last week for £3.5m – and goalkeeper Jerzy Dudek at the Bernabeu.

Alonso and Dudek were part of the famous night in Istanbul when Liverpool lifted the European Cup after a penalty shoot-out victory over AC Milan.

Now only Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher remain at the club from the 18 players on the team sheet in Istanbul that night.

Alonso’s departure has been a long and painful experience for Liverpool fans, who had taken the Basque midfielder to their hearts.

Benitez tried to sell him last summer in the complexities of his unsuccessful fight to sign Gareth Barry from Aston Villa.

Alonso did not want to go then, and has always felt that he was being forced out of the club to finance the Barry deal.

This summer it was Benitez who did not want to lose the player, who is believed to have told his manager on the final day of last season that he wanted to return to Spain.

From that point on, Madrid waged a persistent war to sign the player as they assembled a new squad under president Florentino Perez.

With the Alonso deal, Perez will have spent around £220m in two months on Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Raul Albiol, Esteban Granero, Arbeloa, Alvaro Negredo and Karim Benzema.

That haul is Madrid’s response to Barcelona’s historic treble of Champions League, La Liga and Spanish Cup.

But although Perez did not consider Alonso to be a player who ‘will sell shirts’, the Spain international has been almost as difficult to prise away from his club as Ronaldo.

Meanwhile, Michel Salgado has ended his spell at Real Madrid after 10 years with the Primera Division club.

The 33-year-old defender, who moved to the Bernabeu from Celta Vigo in 1999, has been released by mutual consent despite having one year remaining on his current deal.

“Real Madrid would like to thank the until-now captain for his commitment and behaviour during 10 consecutive years of exemplary service to the club,” said a statement on the club’s official website.

Salgado enjoyed a great deal of success during his decade with Real, winning four La Liga and two Champions League titles among other trophies.
