<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I have been looking for a used car online at various popular local online marketplaces. Last night, I came across an advertisement that I am quite interested in and tried calling the mobile number of the advertiser. Unfortunately, until now, I have not been able to get through and have been directed to the voice mail, instead.<br /><br />I don't know if it's only me, I don't like leaving voice messages because I never know if the person would even listen to my message. None of my friends do because they don't want to pay money to retrieve their messages. Personally, I have disabled my voice mail because I don't want people to leave voice messages for me and make me waste money retrieving them.<br /><br />But going back to this used car seller, I wonder if he's even interested in selling. It has been more than 12 hours already, more than half a day, and he is still unreachable. Frankly, I am thinking twice if I should even continue to try and buy from him.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-1882324393541074832?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/mFh7juNAOmQ" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Running a home-based business for a few years now, it is high time I figure out ways to cut down my overhead cost. Besides the fact that the economy is weaker, I also haven't time to devote to the business, which obviously affects sales.<br /><br />Anyway, I wanted to look for a low cost <a href="http://www.vocalocity.com">business voip</a> for a while already but have continued to procrastinate. I use my mobile line for business and run up a hefty bill at the end of the month. I don't mind the charges so much because I know that if I want to use it, I have to pay it. However, recently, my mobile service was down on two occasions and for long hours too! How am I supposed to run a business when I am unreachable by phone? <br /><br />This morning I was informed of this business VoIP service offered by Vocalocity that requires minimal start up cost, but don't mistake this as some low quality service. Vocalocity offers businesses, especially small businesses like mine, a feature-rich zero-maintenance hosted VoIP PBX solution that is easy to set up and use.<br /><br />With a business that is heavily dependent on the phone, I place a lot of importance on the quality of my phone line. Vocalocity seems to be able to meet the demands of businesses with their affordable, quality voice services tailored to meet the budget of each business. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-1578971482604430159?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/NURhgtekWPQ" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">If, after all these years since the launch of the first eBay website eBay.com, you still have not used eBay before or are even interested to try it out, then you probably never will and eBay knows it. What they are doing to rectify this, is to BRING you the eBay experience. No, you don't have to log on to eBay from your home computer. You probably do not own one, or suffer from technology phobia like my mother. <p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/Swi8I9dG_DI/AAAAAAAAIGc/oyPLk5UPg1I/s1600/eBay Mobile Boutique.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 209px; height: 41px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/Swi8I9dG_DI/AAAAAAAAIGc/oyPLk5UPg1I/s400/eBay Mobile Boutique.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406778214779911218" /></a></p>Yesterday, eBay kicked off this programme with its first ever mobile boutique dubbed “eBay @ 57th St.” in midtown Manhattan occupying 5,500 sq. ft. of space. What can you expect going there? There will be eBay trend experts and eBay personal shoppers to help you make your first purchase from eBay. Of course, since this is the holiday season, which is also THE busiest shopping season of the year, there are many other surprises planned. <br /><br />If you do not live anywhere near Manhattan, fear not. eBay plans to take the eBay Mobile Boutique to twelve cities across the United States so surely you could visit at least one!<br /><br />For more information: <a href="http://www.ebayholiday.com/">The eBay Mobile Boutique</a></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-3878316479440059073?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/crNWAJBl9hk" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I know many people are looking for opportunities that would allow them to sit at home and at the same time, earn. Even if one likes her current job, it doesn't hurt to have a side income. I have been trying to look for something that my sister could do online, something simple that doesn't take up too much of her time, energy or brain juice.<br /><br />A couple of friends have told me that they are quite successful earning money just by completing trials and offers. I am sure you have seen a few websites that scream "<a href="http://vipercash.webs.com/index.htm">Easily earn cash from home for free TODAY!!!</a>" Perhaps you have even heard of Project Payday already.<br /><br />The concept is simple enough. Just help people to complete free trials and others will help you in return and at the end of the day, everyone gains something. If it's not cash, it could be popular consumer electronics that enterprising people could sell on eBay or Craigslist and make money too.<br /><br />Although I haven’t tried this out myself, I like the idea of it. It’s a legitimate way to make money online and the payout is worth the time. However, one must carefully keep track of what trials she has signed up with can cancel her subscriptions before the free trials are over. Other than this catch, this is a really worthy venture. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-7762768853439534457?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/tzG6JP7EhLE" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Although the term "Cyber Monday", which refers to the Monday immediately after Thanksgiving, doesn't really hold water and has been said as just marketing hype, it is not wrong for online merchants to use it as a benchmark to get their online stores all ready for the crowd of online holiday shoppers.<br /><br />Although Cyber Monday is said to be the busiest time for ecommerce stores, surveys have showed that the actual busiest time for online stores is one or two weeks before Christmas. Even so, I think that all online stores should be ready for business right after Thanksgiving. <br /><br />Online merchants may even want to offer Cyber Monday deals in a bid to attract traffic to the store. As an online merchant myself, I discovered that the most important thing in attracting traffic is not how low a price you could offer but in linking, linking and more linking!<br /><br />Unfortunately, this year, I will not have the chance to cash in on holiday sales because I don’t have the time to devote to my store and update my inventory.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-9213919683620145765?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/7tdHZHhODzo" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">My friend, Sally, told me that even as everyone is busy preparing for their annual vacations, she may have to give up her vacation due to the mounting files on her desk. Working in a law firm is no fun, especially when she is not the lawyer!<br /><br />Sally told me that one of her tasks is to <a href="http://www.findersuk.com/">trace heirs</a> and beneficiaries and without much information, it is not an easy task! Not every family is straightforward and with the ease of air travel, there are many families which have branched off to other countries around the world. But it's too bad that even with advancement in technology that makes keeping in touch just a phone call away or as easy as sending an email, people still lose contact.<br /><br />I think that Sally should just speak up and let her bosses know that she shouldn't be made to do such work and it would just be a waste of time and resources since she is not professionally trained to trace heirs and beneficiaries. Why not outsource the task and let professionals handle it?<br /><br />Tracing heirs and beneficiaries looks like a complex and time consuming process but it could be accomplished quicker if there are people doing it full time without the distractions of other work.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-3982332905172789915?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/bXhOTCkzlag" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">In an earlier post, I wrote about being offered a medical insurance by Ace Synergy Insurance where I did not have to undergo any medical test and it was an insurance policy that I bought over the phone. <br /><br />This morning, I finally received the policy in the mail and although I am not exceptionally happy with how the policy is, different from what I was told over the phone, but then at RM50.10 per month, what could I expect, I am accepting it for the time being until I could go out and look for a more competitive policy. <br /><br />If you also received a phone call with a similar offer that is only for Bonuslink card members, I am sure you would feel lost too, without anything in black and white to read, but do know that this is a no medical card insurance and should the policy holder be hospitalized, he/she will have to settle the bill first before making a claim with the insurance company.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-1355097029906463245?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/wvFFlQAvCKM" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">A couple of weeks ago, I committed myself to medical-cum-accident insurance that did not require me to undergo any medical examination. Although I do not carry any sickness now, that is excellent news to me since I am unable to get away for awhile due to commitments at home. Actually, I had wanted to buy medical insurance for a long time already but have procrastinated because of that. <br /><br />Now that I have my medical-cum-accident insurance settled, I am looking for life insurance policy. Most of my peers already have life insurance and I know I am late already. Right now, because of circumstances, I prefer to buy <a href="http://www.wholesaleinsurance.net/life-insurance/no-exam/">life insurance no exam</a> that would offer me the convenience of getting covered just like my medical-cum-accident insurance. I didn't even have to leave the house.<br /><br />Hopefully, I will be able to find life insurance like this that would fit my budget.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-5509374931940968741?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/RFnAhcC0ZMs" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Many people are looking forward to Black Friday, which falls on 27th November, 2009 this year. As you may well know already, Black Friday is the Friday just after Thanksgiving, which is always celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. <br /><br />To prepare to shop to they drop, well, some people practically drop dead because of the human stampede, many people are already scouring online looking for Black Friday ads and deals. If I live in an area where Black Friday is observed, you can bet that I would be out there grabbing and shoving as well. Who wouldn't want to enjoy steep discounts?<br /><br />Although traditionally, Black Friday is the start of the holiday shopping season where shoppers try to buy Christmas gifts, business minded people now go and grab discounted items, particularly ever popular consumer electronics, and then sell them online. There's money to be made.<br /><br />Ah, don’t I love to be a real shopaholic once in a while!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-2723522215157266687?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/3-Sw88ttN-Q" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">My friend, Terrence, just sent me a text message that he is attending a camera launch this morning. Didn't he just attend one last week? I tell you, with the pace that new <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=Cameras&pagenum=1&sort=1">digital cameras</a> are released, it really is not easy to keep up with the latest technology.<br /><br />Actually, I had wanted to buy a new digital camera too. In my line of work, I really need a good one that could take great macro shots even in low light. In the end, I decided not to. After all, Terrence, a professional photographer has extra cameras that he could spare me. Although they are used sets, at least I don’t have to spend money unnecessarily! If it breaks down, I just have to returned it to him and exchange for another digital camera!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-1781447408989691326?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/8DOmVioYEuk" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The limited edition Chanel Le Vernis Jade 407 and Jade Rose 493 have already been sold out in all brick and mortar stores but they are still available on eBay, provided you are willing to pay a premium for them. <p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwTEDduwdSI/AAAAAAAAIF8/CB6n6c_p-mI/s1600/Chanel jade nail polish.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 98px; height: 190px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwTEDduwdSI/AAAAAAAAIF8/CB6n6c_p-mI/s400/Chanel jade nail polish.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405661016550831394" /></a></p>How much would you pay for a small bottle of nail polish like this?

Sure, these are limited edition hues but at the same time, they are seasonal as well.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">My friend who runs a travel agency told me that as people become more web savvy, his business suffers. From what he discovered, people now prefer to book their <a href="http://www.ulookubook.com/holidays">Holidays</a> on websites that offer discounted travel packages and they buying air tickets online.<br /><br />My friend said that his business is commission based but with holiday makers doing all these red tape and documentation themselves, he find it difficult to continue with his business. I didn't tell him that I too book my holidays online.<br /><br />I guess the reason we head to the world wide web to look for our favorite holiday destinations is because of a larger variety of places to visit that local agencies do not offer and at the same time, with the soft economy and our limited budget, we get to save some money booking our holidays and air tickets online.<br /><br />Checking out the website of ULookUBook.com, you can see how convenient it is to search for and book a holiday to your favorite destinations around the world. Besides a full tour packages, you could also look for city breaks for the leisurely weekend or just car hire, if you already have a vacation planned. If you are not interested in a package tour, you could book accommodation only or flight only.<br /><br />Even if you are just planning a vacation, ULookUBook.com is a good starting point with the travel guides and weather images so you know exactly what to look forward to in each holiday destination!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-546989794691448663?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/oi03fUFwuw4" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Since I have been successful with my Maxis IPO application, I have been searching for a website that would allow me to watch Maxis share price online in real time. A few friends suggested places but they all have a delay of at least five minutes. Wit shares, a minute makes a lot of difference in the price especially when you are selling it.<br /><br />I was not able to activate my Maybank2U online share trading facility and it's unfortunate that I am unable to reach out to them via email but luckily, I finally found a website that provides almost real time Maxis share price watch online.<br /><br />If you are also looking for real time Maxis share price online, ZoomFinance is a good site. I don't know how long the delay is, but it's better than other sites that I have visited. The link for Maxis share counter is this: <a href="http://www.zoomfinance.com/zoomfinance/S13_FastQuote2.jsp?txtSymbol=6012">http://www.zoomfinance.com/zoomfinance/S13_FastQuote2.jsp?txtSymbol=6012</a><br /></span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-1578770892487083129?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/ItmhiVHlsIc" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">I bumped into my neighbor yesterday morning and she told me that she has just been discharged from hospital to seek medical treatment for her leg. Her leg looked all right to me now but she said that it was Edema and it was so bad that she had to stay in the hospital overnight.<br /><br />Mrs. F told me that to prevent it from happening again, she has started to wear compression socks but the ones that are available at the local pharmacy look too ugly. I had to suppress a smile with the thought that Mrs. F is still so vain even at her age!<br /><br />There is a vast selection of <a href="http://www.discountsurgical.com/brands/juzo.asp">juzo socks</a> for people who are like Mrs. F, or suffering from one condition or another that requires compression socks as well. These socks are also suitable for tired legs, for people who spend long hours on their feet.<br /><br />I read that Juzo socks are so comfortable to wear, soft and totally non-restrictive and yet still provide the necessary support. Besides they totally don't look like compression socks at all. I am sure Mrs. F would be happy with the various styles, designs and colors that Juzo compression socks come in. She can easily match them with her dressing too!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-7756009236419194229?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/f30lfvd8iKA" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">I was looking for a website that would allow me to view KLSE share prices in real time without having to register for an account. A friend told me that all free websites have a delay of 3 - 7 minutes so I might as well activate my account with Maybank Investment Bank online that provides real time stock quotes.<br /><br />So I submitted my application and it was rejected almost instantly, with the reason that my client share trading account number was wrong. Actually, I called up the office a couple of days ago to ask and that was the number given to me.<br /><br />In the email, I was provided with an email address to contact should I have further questions but the email was bounced so I sent it again to the email address that it came from. Again, it was bounced. <br /><br />IO don't know if you know how frustrating it is to be unable to make contact, so much so that I think I don't want to request for Maybank2U Online Share Trading Facility anymore. When something like this happens on a financial website, I don’t think there's trust from me anymore.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-9149473255802378911?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/9BcqWbo8FL0" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">My uncle has ventured into business right after retirement, selling books. My uncle was a sales executive with a school textbook and reference book company and after being in the industry for more than thirty years and was in charged of the northern region of the country, he certainly has a wealth of experience.<br /><br />My uncle says that although being in business will be very different working as an employee, basically, he will still <a href="http://www.sellbackyourbook.com/">sell textbooks</a> and reference books. This time, though, he also has to take care of other matters like management and accounts.<br /><br />I am very happy to see that my uncle has found something to do that he loves after retirement. I personally think that the retirement age of 56 is still young and these people still have lots to contribute to society.

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">If you have been successful in Maxis IPO which is being listed on KLSE this morning, I am sure you are excited about the opening price. It's RM5.50! Of course, if you have paid RM4.75 per share for it, you would have gained a premium of RM0.75 already. <br /><br />Granted, there will be people out to make a quick buck and selling their shares today itself, like I sometimes to with my other successful IPOs and gain a small profit on opening day itself but for Maxis shares, I think that this is a share worth keeping for long term. Even if the price doesn't skyrocket the projected dividend of 75% of profit is an awesome ratio.<br /><br />In any case, if Maxis could perform as well as it did the last time it was public, I would be very happy already! I wonder if Maxis would be declaring a dividend for the end of 2009.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-1895766527523944171?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/ax3jAigM88I" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">It's the end of the year again and my friends who run their own companies have to crack their heads on how to reward their long service employees. These things make me see the bright side of running a one-man-show company. At least I wouldn't have to worry about such issues!<br /><br />This morning, I received a text message from a friend asking me if I could help come up with a valuable gift for such employees. There are three who have served his company more than twenty years already since the days when his father was still running the show. <br /><br />I thought that getting each of them a <a href="http://www.zoomcoin.com/rare-gold-coins">rare gold coin</a> would be an excellent idea but I am afraid that if they are not interested in coins, they may not see the value in the rare coin and does not understand the recognition that the company is giving them. <br /><br />My friend told me that it's pretty popular to award employees with tour packages but I am someone who prefers something tangible that I could keep. Well, it's up to him if he wants to take up my suggestion or otherwise.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-3740653443463975079?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/LDGBSwOhH5g" height="1" width="1"/>

They are a new line of Jimmy Choo shoes that are being sold, for the first time at H&M on Regent Street cheaply, as low as £49.99. Well, not exactly cheap, cheap, but cheap by Jimmy Choo standards. Well, with this new line of Jimmy Choo's it looks like "now everyone can wear Jimmy Choo"!<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwFzzLB4SsI/AAAAAAAAIFs/pgImrRUhGtI/s1600/Jimmy Choo Collection H&M.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwFzzLB4SsI/AAAAAAAAIFs/pgImrRUhGtI/s400/Jimmy Choo Collection H&M.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404728350792501954" /></a></p>Unsurprisingly, soon after, some of these shoes are already on eBay and selling at double the price. That's entrepreneurship, I say. LOL Who cares if you managed to buy them at £49.99 when there are people who willingly pay double the price because they are unable to or do not have the time to queue up for more than 14 hours?<br /><br />While this new line of Jimmy Choo shoes sold out within hours, leaving many disappointed, hence the inflated prices on eBay (I am sure some of these buyers were those who queued up for hours in the rain and gale-force storm and yet went home empty handed because styles in their size ran out), a spokesperson of H&M said that they are restocking and those "sold out" styles will be available tomorrow. <br /><br />Ahhhh wouldn't those who bought on eBay feel ripped off?</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-3429893742287500742?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/cSqUfYnY2Ho" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The proposed imposition of a slew of new conditions under the National Automotive Policy (NAP) beginning 2010 in Malaysia has caused much anxiety for owners or older cars. Besides having to undergo an annual car test before one could buy insurance and have road tax renewed, insurance companies are also starting to look into the age of the car owner.<br /><br />Another problem for owners of older cars is that it is becoming increasingly difficult to purchase spare parts for the car and the import of such is to be banned soon. Seriously, such a move is going to kill the used car market.<br /><br />My friend, Steve, told me that he is worried about such conditions too. I wondered why he would also be affected since he doesn't own any car older than 15 years but he said that as the owner of two hobby cars which he fine tunes every chance he gets with performance parts, he is afraid that he would not be able to purchase them locally.<br /><br />As far as I know, one could still purchase <a href="http://www.insixthgear.com/">aftermarket car parts</a> online and there are surely plenty to choose from but I wonder if buying them online and having them shipped into the country would be considered an "import" even though the parts are just for personal use. Would the ban apply in this case?<br /><br />My friends who moved to the States are all into cars. They tell me that unlike in Malaysia where we are governed by 101 rules and regulations by the Road Transport Department, they could modify or accessorize their cars however they like physically and/or performance wise and the authorities wouldn’t care as long as they have auto insurance.<br /><br />I am going to show Steve the website of In Sixth Gear so that even if he could no longer purchase used performance car parts locally, perhaps he could purchase new ones online and continue to fuel his hobby. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-6964221972750882653?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/f1EhL3drDnU" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">If you are a fan of Britney Spears and I mean, really, really huge fan of hers, and do not mind that she mimes and cannot dance, this is an opportunity to watch her live in concert at a dirt cheap price.<br /><br />Of course, you will have to be in Australia as well. After all, it is fans of Britney Spears in Australia who are practically giving away Britney Spear's Circus concert tickets after discovering that she mimes and cannot dance and generally gave a lacklustre performance on opening night. <p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwA-tIxa9uI/AAAAAAAAIFM/VvtqBlMrFs4/s1600-h/Britney Spears.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwA-tIxa9uI/AAAAAAAAIFM/VvtqBlMrFs4/s400/Britney Spears.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404388498014402274" /></a></p>Well, I am no fan of the pop princess but frankly, if I were, I wouldn’t mind one bit that she lip synced and has two left foot. And since these concert tickets are being sold at as low as 55p way below face value of up to GBP90, this would be a golden opportunity for a true fan to watch her live. Don’t you agree?</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-4199632388600502949?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/n3Mqn2OVjKs" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">My friend, Stella, and her husband, recently took over a Korean restaurant in Tennessee. Stella and her husband are naturally excited about their new venture which has kept them extremely busy lately.<br /><br />Actually, when Stella asked me for my opinion before they committed their savings to the restaurant, I told her that it would be better for her to take over a beauty salon. She graduated from a <a href="http://www.regencybeauty.com/">Cosmetology School</a> and is very well trained and experienced in the beauty industry. That would suit her more, though I cannot say the same for her husband, a chef.<br /><br />I guess in the end, her husband decided that a restaurant would be better for him, for them, and Stella has to help him out at the restaurants, especially on weekends. Stella said that she still hasn’t given up her dreams of owning a beauty salon but may have to do it from home to cut cost. </span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-3343328190165106209?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/4ysqMccRWtE" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">In view of the implementation of RM50 annual service fee on all principal credit and charge cards and RM25 annual service fee on all supplementary credit and charge cards, Public Bank has taken the first move to entice credit card holders who are planning to cancel their existing credit and charge cards, if they haven't already.<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwAfBoXrQxI/AAAAAAAAIFE/q2TaHQ7zeBY/s1600-h/Low Interest Balance Transfer.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 274px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-rsjhJ_kZsI/SwAfBoXrQxI/AAAAAAAAIFE/q2TaHQ7zeBY/s400/Low Interest Balance Transfer.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404353665721647890" /></a></p>Check out this image that I have enclosed to see the low interest rate that they are offering if only you would transfer your card balance to them. No, you don't even need to have a Public Bank credit card now. If you already have a credit card, you automatically will qualify for one from Public Bank.<br /><br />This offer allows anyone interested to transfer his/her credit card balance up to 80% of credit limit on the new card. This means that if your Public Bank credit limit is RM10000, you may transfer up to RM8000 of balance from your existing credit card that you intend to cancel.<br /><br />This looks like a pretty good deal to me and may even save you some money thanks to the low interest rate and one time upfront interest.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-6434327492183550808?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/-QsmD89wXxI" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Denise, my old school friend, is really into Tibetan Buddhism. I only got to know about it when we bumped into each other by chance recently at a <i>puja</i>. Besides her interest in the religion, Denise is also very interested in the Tibetan way of life. She invited me to visit her home to view her collection of Tibetan relics; some were purchased locally at exhibitions, some during her travels to Tibet and other countries, while some were bought online.<br /><br />According to Denise, she has a sizable collection of <a href="http://www.silverskyimports.com/">Crystal Singing Bowls</a> too. I am not familiar with these but I checked out the online store of Silver Sky Imports to have a look at their Tibetan singing bowls. They carry so many Tibetan bowls of various sizes, up to 22 inches.<br /><br />The fine singing bowls that are sold at Silver Sky Imports come with sound files individually recorded and enclosed in the description of every item of singing bowl in the store. It looks like a lot of work to me but that’s to ensure that buyers would know exactly what they are paying for.<br /><br />Apart from singing bowls, Silver Sky Imports also offer chimes, bells, gongs, prayer beads and flags, incense and unique handicrafts. People who have an eye for fine Tibetan wares, this store is a good starting point.</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-7918154222815426979?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/vTdpFXTfbug" height="1" width="1"/>

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Proton's car exchange programme may have ended on the 6th of November, 2009 but it is only today that Perodua's programme ends. For people who have intended to take up this programme which offers RM5000 in cash voucher by trading in a car, it is too bad if they missed the boat because apparently, these programmes will not be extended because the funds have dried.<br /><br />From what I read, for every car that qualifies for the RM5000 rebate upon purchase of a new Proton or Perodua car, the Government forks out RM3500 while the respective national car maker pays RM1500.<br /><br />Some people have wondered if this was a good deal. Well, of course it was good if the car that is being traded is a car worth less than RM5000. Also, interested car buyers will not have the choice to buy any car besides a national car. Well, I'm not saying that they aren't good but that limits our choices.<br /><br />Anyway, a few of my friends participated in this exchange programme and they are quite happy with it. Perhaps there will be yet another round next year to stimulate the economy and automotive industry?</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/19589975-1564679556224541957?l=cyberpartygal.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/CyberpartygalRamblingsOfAnE-trader/~4/ryxbESvQcWU" height="1" width="1"/>
