C Drama: Time teaches me to love you

 Here's another nice funny Chinese drama series to watch, actress is Iriene Song. I first seen her in acting in drama Professional Single then saw in comment that she acted in this drama called Time teaches me to love you.There are 24 episodes in this drama same as Professional Single.

So cute and funny, her acting is very natural. I found the drama in youTube to watch. She had contract with her Boss acting to be his lover. She needed money for her brother's fee in hospital. She done two contract one is acting as lover another is Cinderella contract.At first there's no love at all but then she fall in love for him. Her mom didn't know about the contract at all but in the end she found out and by that time her daughter already fallen in love with him. The Boss's dad asked her to go his house for a chat, she told him that she loves earn money, and her dream is lying down and count money. 

The boss had a habit of sleeping with his teddy bear but one day she washed his teddy bear and he felt that it's never the same again and he cannot sleep for many night.  The teddy bear is a special gift for him from his mother.

This drama of time teaches me to love you, really gives me a good laugh. She had to leave the country for 3 years as her contract been exposed to social media and her mom is so worry of her that she wants them to break up. 

If you like to know more about the series can go ahead to find it to watch. 

I find there are two common things that had in this drama and Professional Single. She had drink alcohol.

6 Feb 2017 TNB 10am to 5pm

Today received a letter at the gate, stated that there will be no electricity from 10am to 5pm on coming Monday. It's going to be a hot day then also Monday son has got tuition in the evening.

Chinese tuition for 6 years old son I am having doubt to start him with it or not as it's very expensive. It's a once a week lesson and it cost RM490 a semester. Yeah means to pay the fee for that. His brother already going at the same tuition center.

I am thinking let him go next year as now expenses lot, the kindergarten for son for just morning class already cost RM450 a month.

Other subject that Sean is going at tuition is Science RM90, once a week.
RM250 for BM 1 and BM 2 , also math which is also once a week lesson.

Being a mom there's lot roles to play and part of it is thinking of expenses in the family. I am not working just housewife, send my children to study and also to fetch them. Then also send for tuition, because transportation is not cheap for one way and for each children.

4 Ways to Save Money on Your Next Remodel

Before you start knocking down walls for your home remodel, it's important to think about your budget. How much can you afford to spend on new fixtures and features? Where can you find deals to help you cut costs? Are there any preparations you can make in advance to save you money further down the line? If you're serious about avoiding the red during your next remodel, here are four tips for making it more affordable.


1. Have a Plan

It's easy to overspend when you don't have a clear goal for your remodeling project. You'll agree to anything that looks or sounds good instead of focusing on specific design elements, and you'll be tempted into unnecessary upgrades when you don't have a blueprint to fall back on. Be smart about your remodel. Plan it out before you use your credit card.


2. Make Plans Based on Deals

Instead of scheduling your remodel for the busiest time of year, wait until everyone is quiet and companies are desperate for business. Instead of buying a specific kind of hardwood no matter how much it costs, find a company that offers discounted timber and make your selection based on what's already on sale. Don't let your whims dictate your expenses. If anything, it should be the other way around.


3. Cut the Right Corners

It's okay to cheat a little on your remodel, but you have to make sure that you're cheating with the right things. For example, you don't want to cut corners when it comes to your water lines because they're so pivotal to your everyday life, but your faucets are another story. If you want to slap on some stainless steel adhesives instead of actually paying for stainless steel, no one will ever have to know.


4. Talk to Your Contractors

Don't be afraid to discuss money matters with your contractors. It's better to have a few awkward conversations early in the project rather than getting an unpleasant surprise on the final bill. If your contractor tries to play coy about costs, expenses, fees and surcharges, find someone else who will be upfront with you.


These are just a few things to keep in mind if you're watching your budget during a home renovation. You might want to find a contractor today for more information, including how to calculate expenses and what you can expect to pay for materials and labor. Good luck!

One subject RM150 to tuition, two subjects RM250

A parents was discussing in the class group chat about getting tuition for her child. She wanted more parents to send their child together as need at least 3 to get start. I was told the price of RM150 for a subject, RM250 for the two subjects. The offer subjects to teach are BC and Math.

Though I think of sending son to go, but he is already having tuition of Math and BC. Both are once a week that he's attending at tuition center.

I am not sure of how is his result for this June exam as he says teacher not yet inform but have told that 4 persons passed the BC exam. For his computer test he gets 79 marks and he's very happy about it.

It's also related to money as more tuition will cost more money and also time. He says it's enough of tuition he's having as he also have homework to handle. It's important that kids get balance of life, not just focus on their education.Nobody says it is going to be easy in learning in primary school, further more we are Chinese it is better that he's able to learn Chinese before he goes to Secondary school. We also enrolled his little brother to his school for year 2018, hopefully he gets a place in the school, there will be exam for his little brother next year in June.

It started last year that children 6 yrs old need to attend for exam before get a place in the school.

Tuition classes to attend at School Holidays

This school holidays, my son has tuition to attend. So the time clash with events that I can attend so I decided to give up the events as son has nobody to attend.

A few events this week that I am not going as I need to fetch son. His school has other activities provided but is not free, lucky we didn't enroll him in any as it clashes his tuition time.

Even for his little brother there is music class available at kindergarten as usual it is not free. Two days classes RM120 and we too not enroll him as he needs to rest and play at home.

Why is it so much of money involve in kids schooling? I would say the area I stay is all about money!

How about you? What's your school holidays plan?

Road accident with motorcycle

It is sad to know that my sister's apartment the tenant has involved in car accident. His company that he works as security guard not paying for his medical fee. It is alot of money spend and he needs to payment by himself. He has to go another hospital with the help of his relatives because the hospital he was waiting never bother of him :(

He has not pay rental for a month, he promised to pay end of the month. If based on his deposit, it only lasts up to 15 May 2016.

His mother does not bother about the apartment rental and says refer to him. Seems she doesn't want to get involve with it but as know he is not living alone, he lives with his family in the apartment. 

Earning Extra Money

Earning a bit of additional income can make a dramatic impact on your financial situation. If you are able to pay your bills with your current income, then you will be able to save your additional earnings. You can save the extra money to put toward a special vacation, new car or other indulgence. There are several ways that you can increase your income.

Offer Services
You may want to consider offering services. The amount of money that you can earn will depend on the skills that you can offer. For example, local parents may be searching for tutors for their high school students. If you do not want to work as a tutor, then you could consider baby-sitting or mowing lawns. Satisfied customers can recommend your services to their friends and families to help your business grow.

Sell Old Items
Cleaning out your closet may leave you with a profit. If you have items that you do not use or want, then consider hosting a sale. Electronics and small kitchen appliances are usually in high demand at garage sales. Search your cabinets, closets and any other storage areas for items that you can sell. You can partner with neighbors to split the cost of placing an ad in the local newspaper.

Start a Business
If you would like to work toward a steady source of additional income, then you may want to consider starting a business. There are many advantages to owning a business, and your business could grow over time. When you are debating business ideas, try to determine a business that will allow you to match your interests with the needs of your community. For example, individuals interested in fashion may want to consider opening a boutique. If your community has athletic teams, then operating food and beverage carts may be an ideal opportunity.

Extra income can help you pay off debts or realize your savings goals. Investing a bit of time into offering services or hosting a sale can pay off. Small businesses can offer unlimited potential for future earnings. Once you decide on a plan to earn extra money, stay focused on your goals. With confidence and determination, you can easily add to your income.

Wisma Genting parking

I have events in Genting Highlands today, so parking at Wisma Genting so we arrived around 9am and pay parking around 8pm. The fee is RM39 for the long hours parking.

This time no parking chop at tickets because Genting bos is not around. So just for info this is the price range to pay if you are parking whole day in Wisma Genting. 

Bigger car, more money to invest

Who doesn't want to have a bigger car? Do you know that bigger car will consumption for more fuel? Well we know that bigger car have more spaces of seating etc. But look at one point, having a car main attention is going from place A to place B. Car value will drop, though it will be a brand new car for you. But it's going to be second hand car when you are selling out so you know the figure won't be the same any more. Don't forget of the car loan, you have to start over to pay again?!

It's all about money after all, there is why some family having two cars in the family for more. They will use the cars to go a destination together for example heading to have family meal or visiting family. If going for vacation there is a choice of rental cars.

Anyway about car, I haven't take my car for the repair center to find out how much it would cost to repair front bumper of my car.

My dad drove second hand car for many years and he has no interest to change his old car. Furthermore it's slow but to him, as long he drives home safely, slow and steady, it's fine for him. 

RM120 per way per head transportation fee

Lifestyle in Subang Jaya, never gets better, so is the price of transportation fees. I opt to fetch my kids myself because I found out the transportation fee per pax/per way is RM120 a month, don't forget they will you to pay Dec fee as well.

It's all about money, so if both my kids take transportation I would need to pay RM240 x 2 child = RM480. It's a lot of money, I could use the money for groceries shopping for fuel up my car.

A mom told me today that she has four children, 2 boys and 2 girls. She gives up her job because of standard living here is high. Money is not easy to earn, so always think twice before spending. Where to spend and how to spend the money?

Have you count on how much money you are investing on your child a month? My dear told me, his friend invested RM1k a month per child. 

Fees to pay in 2015

My eldest is standard three this year, I started him with another tuition house. The fee this month Jan started paying RM400 and RM200 for material books for whole year 2015. I haven't find transporter for him to go tuition house, so at moment I am one that sending him from school. It will cost extra RM120, the fee transport also need pay for month Nov/Dec though Dec is school holiday. So I am not sure if Dec has tuition will transporter giving him a ride to tuition too?

My youngest, he is 4yr this June. So he needs to go Kindergarten as he needs to learn. I can't teach him myself as I have tried and failed. So best let teachers to teach him. I hope he can awake early in the morning because he sleeping time is quite late. He slept with my sis-in-law while my eldest is with me. Monthly fee of RM330 but earlier have paid for registration and other fees for the kindergarten which up to RM1700. No kidding so anything no involve money in this post?

Even my dad told me that my bro twin daughters each of them their Kindergarten fee RM450.

My car weekly fuel charge would be RM30/RM40. So if there's place I need to go I need to think twice before I go. Some movie contest are far away the venue so I no take part to join the contest.

Time management

Being parent is never easy so when comes to tuition and extra activities. So Eye Level was extra activities for my son but it's going to be stop by next month because son's going to be standard 3 in primary school it's going to be tougher and harder. He's weak in some subjects in school so the time best to focus on tuition on the subjects than extra activities.

I don't want to tire him out. So let go of Eye Level is wise decision as time concern he doesn't have the time for it. Money is one of the concern too, he's little brother going to kindergarten next month.

Better let him step by step rather than all at once, which tired him. Eye Level if he has interest to continue he can do so in future. 

Tuition centers competes each other

I am mommy of two boys, aged 3 yr and 8 yr old. So just to let you know that my eldest is gong for tuition center because he's weak in certain subjects in school.

The day I decided to rest him from the tuition center, there goes the teacher start the group chat on it. Showing off their champions, newspaper cuttings etc. Bravo to the students with As and good grades.

For your info, many tuition center aim to teach children that has good exam results. This is where they find it easy for them to polish them and having them to be a super star or champion in education.

So how about weak students? Are they going to neglect them, lack of attention towards them?

If a student is smart and good in exams results. Why does parents need to let them go for tuition?

Tuition fee is never cheap. Min RM400, max RM650 or even more...

No wonder my friend told me her child's classmate having tuition Mon to Sat. Mon, Wed, Fri another subjects, Tue, Thur and Sat, other subjects, etc.

My son's classmate told me that she has paid RM200 extra a month for tuition center to teach, but result turns out the same/worst. I didn't know that the center accept more money than they suppose to.

No matter what, time is money, if you don't act now?! Who will?

No children is born to be super star or champion.

It will be a challenge for the tuition teacher, to know if they can cope with the child. He maybe weak right now, if you know where's he's weakness/strength. You can always correct them and put them on the right track. Who doesn't like an easy job, so you find a clever kid to teach, by polishing them, there you go.. you find a champion.

Time will prove everything, whether you can do it or not. Accept life is full of challenge. 

Whose on holiday mood?

It's school holiday now, so what's your plan on this few weeks before the school start?

Yesterday I brought my kids to see my toddler kindergarten. Yeah have decided to sign up the kindergarten which located 20min drive from my home. Near my home there are not many choices of kindergarten, though they are a few but they are lack of Mandarin. Not all kindergarten offering the mandarin subject, no kidding there was one kindergarten asking for RM4,300 a term fee saying that their kindergarten is offer just basic Mandarin class. RM4300 a term is way too much, we can't afford it too. Well, I bet there are many expensive kindergarten there and here.

Mandarin is important subject, so I know is important to find good kindergarten for my toddler. The kindergarten has opened for 18years, I didn't know of it. Should have sent my eldest there, if he studied there I bet his foundation of Mandarin will be strong.

Anyway School holiday, waiting for fun kids event for my boys to join.

Planning on family trip

Yeah we are planning on vacation, it's going to be fun and just 4 of us because others can't make it on the date.

It's a next month as school holiday in September. It is our family first vacation as my toddler never goes by flight before. My eldest is excited too as he told me he miss sitting on flight.

Yeah despite cases on flights most people fear of taking any. We can't hold back the past, we need to move on.

Life goes on.

Edited 6 Aug 2014, we had family vacation before it was years back when my eldest son is only 3 years old. We headed to Kuching, Sarawak. Sister in law also come along in this trip.

More tuition for son?

Son's received the lowest mark in class 29 marks for his Chinese exam paper. Not sure which exam paper, exam paper 1 or exam paper 2.

He's already going for tuition near school, now I have to give him more tuition?! That's because his no obey me or listen to me at home. I say do more exercise pages on the subject, he would only do 2 pages. No wonder my exercise book I bought for him never complete!

Brother in law gave him a computer to use for play games. I told him cannot play computer games on weekdays just the weekends.

Parenting is never easy when your spouse rely on you alone to teach him. That's why best option was putting him to tuition let the teacher teaches him.

Son asked me to consider give him another chance for next exam, if still fails only put him for BC tuition.

Standard three will be more tough as no more option for the exam questions. He'll need to answer them by himself. 

Life of stay at home mom

My dear is working alone, his boss didn't know that he's under pay.

Being stay at home mom of two, I send my son to school and I have send him for tuition as well since it's getting harder and harder to teach myself.

I told him that I go look for a job, he says no as he knows that my pay will not be a big amount. It would not be enough too, think of transportation fee etc. Next year my toddler will go to kindergarten. Kindergarten fee is not cheap, RM380 a month not sure if they will raise the price. This is price for 8.30am to 11.30am.

My friend living in Kepong told me that over 20 kindergartens at her place. The fee is RM200 plus only and if let child stay over until 3pm only RM300.

Not over here, it's all about money if you let child stay over until 3pm at kindergarten it cost RM800.

Be thankful

I don't know why some people in the family not being thankful. My dad is not feeling so well and my other sister is making him mad. My other sister is very fierce and wouldn't listen to anyone advice, I mean not from the family she often listen to outsider. Worst part is the outsiders that will make her create things worsen.

Periodcup no kidding!

This has becoming so popular today as I am reading some bloggers review about the period cup they are trying. I cannot imagine having this cup there. How about you?

Have you tried it? Are you going to pay for the periodcup and use it?

This is one way of saving money from buying the sanitary pad, tampon! But I am not sure how it will be like for long term using it.

I have no interest to try it out but I can see bloggers like them.
