My Bed & Breakfast Business Plan

Aug-11-2008 By shirley

I am thinking of doing a business soon, cant really tell exactly when that ’soon’ will be. I want to do a Bed and Breakfast and it will be located in Tuaran, its a 40min drive to City Center Kota Kinabalu, 30min to the happening hyper mall in town, the 1Borneo. The location also nearer to the ‘tip of Borneo’ in Kudat and the Mount Kinabalu in Ranau, where waiting to be conquered by climbers all over the world.

My B&B concept are simple, i want to create a nicely lanscaped vegetable garden and fish pond in the area… how you like that? I will provide free breakfast and BBQ upon request… lovely isnt it.

I imagine the garden.. something like this pics.. what a lovely garden.

My B&B might not very big but i hope i can offer you hospitality, i hope you can consider visit Sabah in the future and my B&B once i officially open it.

Okay.. what i need now is your opinion… do you think you want to come and visit my Bed and Breakfast?… well.. i am sure i can do that but for now i need start budgeting and planning to make my dream come true.

Going To Get $$$

Aug-6-2008 By shirley

It has been a week after i verified my paypal account and withdrawed my income to my debit card.  I called the bank yesterday to check whether there is any transaction from paypal to my account, she replied, “yes mam, you have 1.95usd from paypal”, oh my, meaning the money still not in yet.

Today, i called again… hehe really can’t wait..  I asked the same question, ‘can you please check if there are any transaction from my paypal?”… she replied ..“yes mam, you have 1.95usd and 195usd in your account”.  Yahoo… confirmed my money is in.. ready to be collected… so i’m going to get it… its like having asset recovery after being freezed in the bank, well there is a blessing in it.. if i got verified earlier i wont get that much today.

Another Imagination

Aug-4-2008 By shirley

Monday… Monday.. what can you say….the starting of a week and there are so many things i need to do, so many things need to be completed but while working i managed to peek and drop comments in  few blogs.   Besides my own things, i am also helping my daddy to settle his case and help my brother follow-up with few things.  I am not complaining… i am more than willing to help my family, that’s what family for.. help each other.  I need to do things one at a time and slow and steady.. or else.. somebody will go crazy..lol..’touch wood’.

I am sure once everything settled i can relax… i am imagining myself and my family having our relaxing chat near the pool…   I am sure my imagination will come true someday, my family just love to have family celebration together… in the future we going to have our celebrations outdoor, what we need is an outdoor furniture covers, so for now its just another imagination.

Need Bigger Screen TV?

Aug-4-2008 By shirley

Another tired weekend with only me and my two kids. Well, no more complaint.. mummy got to do what mummy got to do. Its hard to wake them up everyday for schools but they woke up early that Saturday… oh my. I started my early Saturday as a referee for my children, fighting over their favourite programme, Sean want to watch his ‘Ultraman’s VCD, while Chrissa want to watch ‘Playhouse Disney‘. Their voices are louder than the TV volume… with high pitch.

My husband ever thought of buying a DLP tv but i am sure we going to watch more ‘drama’ from our children. Nowadays mummy and daddy only watched whatever our children watch… so you asked me to get a bigger screen… no thank you… i dont want to watch Ultraman fighting everyday. The only time i can watch my favourite programme when my children were sleeping and that time i can’t even concentrate… too sleepy!

Verified At Last

Aug-4-2008 By shirley

I had created a paypal account once I received payment from Triangle Direct, for doing assignments. The first amount I received was 20usd, wow I was so happy, since then I have been doing more and more assignments. My best friend, Fele had asked me to apply for Debit Card from Public Bank, which I should have done earlier. My account shows that I was Unverified, I used my credit card to link to my account but I guess I was so impatience when I saw 270usd in my account. I really need the money and even asked Ladyjava and Papajoneh for help.

At last on 30th July 2008, I was a Verified user after being Unverified for  a few months. Its not hard to be a verified user if you read the instruction thoroughly and a little patience. Today I check my account I got another 50usd…. Yippee!!.yee!!..yee!!.. I got extra money to pay my bills and shopping. Mmmm I should request for more assignments… ‘more money, more money’ I can save money to bring my family for cruises.  My first destination will be Australia.

Happy Wedding Anniversary

Jul-31-2008 By shirley

I am so happy to blog about this…. My parent’s 36th wedding anniversary! Married on 29 July 1972. Blessed with four children, 3 girls and a boy, and now they have 10 grandchildren.

There were ups and down in our journey as a family… they were hard times but our family stick together.

Daddy & Mummy,

Thanks for being there for us, during our happy and hard times. Whenever we asked for help, you will be there no matter what, you thought us to ‘love people who hurt us most’ ridiculous and impossible we thought but its the reason why your marriage survive. Mum have done a lot to keep our family together and she still look pretty… i don’t remember she had done any acne treatment in her life. Both of you are still young at heart… loving and sporting grandparents!…

We Love both of you from the deep of our heart…. We Love you always…..

From :

your children,

Sharon & Geodfrey, Shirley & Christopher, Bonaventure & Doreen, and Shella

your grandchildren,

Sherene, Govind, Gerard, Joey, Claire, Sean Matthew, Chrissa Marie, Dawson, Daniel, and Bridget.

 

O Almighty God, you gave us the commandment to honor our father and mother. In your loving kindness hear my prayer for my parents.Give them long lives and keep them well in body and spirit. Bless their labors; keep them always in your care. Bless them generously for their loving care for me. Grant that, through your grace, I may always be their support and comfort, and that, after our life together on earth, we may experience the joy of together praising you forever.  Amen.

My Dear Car

Jul-30-2008 By shirley

I hope my car will forgive me for not sending it for service on time, I can’t imagine if the car is human, it would have chest pain or coughing.. lol. My husband send the car for service, change motor oil, etc, lucky no need to change the ac compressor. The car never been washed for … so long… imagine how terrible it looks in and out.

I just let my husband deal with it, actually i care a lot about the car but i don’t know much about it. Whenever i heard weird sound in the car, i will start asking questions to my husband, i know he got fed up sometimes.

That evening when my husband and son fetch me, my eyes was on the car… wah so good.. it have been washed… it look so great.. shiny blue!

I Need A Massage

Jul-29-2008 By shirley

I complained to my husband how difficult it was to handle Sean while driving and now i have both Chrissa and Sean in the car, surprisingly Sean behave well, while Chrissa flow with her mood, there were times they really got me crazy especially when they start shouting to each other. Its a stressful journey sometimes but i am getting over it somehow and i am beginning to enjoy my routine.

I haven’t got a free weekend for myself.. and i am longing for that moment to come soon and the first thing i want to do is to go for a massage. I have a friend who own a beauty school and one of the massage therapy schools in Kota Kinabalu, so i guess shouldn’t be a problem to fix an appointment… mmm can’t wait for that day.

This body really need to be massaged and my brain need to relax!

Home At Last

Jul-25-2008 By shirley

I woke up yesterday by the message alert on my hp….’sis, we will transit to Brunei and leaving at 5.15pm from there’ . So ‘today is the day’… my parents and sister coming back home. My husband definitely can’t fetch them so i had to plan ahead. At 4.30 i left the office with my colleague, Juvi… i offer her a ride to her daughter’s school and at the same time she can helped me look after Chrissa. Finally we reached Asia City Complex where my niece anxiously waited for us.

We reached the airport at 5.40pm, parked the car and waited. We got excited to see ..Royal Brunei… ‘landed’ on the screen exactly at 6.07pm. Chrissa doesn’t want to walk at first but when she saw so many people in the Arrival Hall… she went in.. together with Sean.. they were running near those people waiting for their luggage, i was running like a mad lady in between those people but managed to grab both of them out of the area. They didnt stop there, they run at the hallway and made 3 rounds… so tiring catching them…ya.. ya .. kids had fun but mummy going mad.

Parents and sister came out from the Arrival Hall almost 7.00pm. Bought KFC and headed home. The interesting part was the time their took out their things from their bag… no rubis item found, sharp items prohibited but my kids drooling when they saw few catchy items.

So happy to have them home at last! my sister will blog about her trip and i will get few pics for my next post.

The Age That I Wish To Back To

Jul-24-2008 By shirley

Wah.. it was looong time ago that Ladyjava tagged me with this subject .. and i find it interesting anyway. I didn’t have time to really write about it but i have been thinking about this.. mmmm let me think what age that i want to reverse myself in.

I think i want to go back to the time i was 21 years old just to hold my sweet memories and undo mistakes i have made back then.

I should have saved more more money and i should have chosen fashion design instead of secretarial. I know i can go far in fashion industry, i might be in Paris now with my own label.. but no worries my passion are still fashion.

I should have told my bestfriend my feeling toward him back then… . but i was lucky that i have made the right choice by marrying my husband.

I know we can’t change our past… ‘past is past, its history’…life goes on… hoping to see a wonderful life journey and more more money ahead!
