Never Work Again

28th June, 2009 - We took a the AirAsia flight to Singapore on the 24th, stayed at a backpackers inn on Joo Chiat Road called Betel Box, right in between the night clubs. Nice little place where we bunk in double deckers together with my 2 sisters cum best friends as well as 5 other girls who came and went. For SGD23 per person per night, it's really a cozy place, no complaints. Came with breakfast too ... with free-flow of bread, assorted jams, fruits and coffee. All in all, had a rather satisfied 5 days' stay.

Why Singapore again? It's the Never Work Again seminar, the fourth one from the T Harv Eker's Quantum Leap package. My girlfriends used to chide me for getting "conned" into parting with hard earned money .... should have used the money to put as down payment for a car or even a house, something like that. Ha ha ha ... maybe it's the mid-life crisis thingy where I am standing at a cross-road, something of that sort ^_^ Oh, by the way, I managed to sell a complimentary ticket for SGD1,000 .... so okaylah, got some money back, thanks to 2 friends. You know who you are ^_^

Anyway, at least for a change in the way I think and exposing myself to a lot of new ideas and opening up my mind, it's just one of those things that happen to interest me, giving myself a pinch, a wake up call perhaps? Hmm.... Just not for everybody huh, certainly not for many people my age, my gender, my culture? One thing for sure, this learning is much better than obtaining an MBA lor ^_^

It sure beats attending the seminar by myself. I have 2 like-minded sisters who are just as keen and I find that as I embark on this journey of pursuing the never ending financial education, I have also created a special bonding with my sisters.... Not many sisters are as close as us, certainly not many who would share the same interests ya. In fact, on numerous occassions, people actually commented on how they envy us! Yeh! Good to know huh. I count my blessings in this respect every now and then. Metta.

When I shared some of the information or news relating to these seminars, many would cringe and many would reserve their comments albeit thinking that I am idiotic enough to be listening to craps, yadi yada yade ....

Here's to our next financial education journey .... The Warrior Enlightenment Camp in October 2009! AH HOI!
