Trading Gold Online

A friend asked me if I know of a company that would allow him to trade gold online. I actually do know a couple but because I have no personal experience dealing with these companies, I did not recommend them to him.

When it comes to investments, I usually do not like getting involved. You know, people will curse and swear at you if they lose money because of what you said or did. However, when they win money because of you, most of them won’t even thank you. So, my philosophy is to stay far away LOL

A little while back, I learnt that we could buy real gold and have them privately delivered to us and we do not even have to in a large quantity because this company welcomes small time investors as well. I think that if I have the capital, I would rather invest in real physical gold that trading it online.

Candid Wedding Photos

My friend, Alex, the wedding photographer, told me that nowadays, bridal couples prefer to take their own candid photos by supplying disposable wedding cameras to their guests during their wedding reception or dinners. They still do engage professional photographers, but that’s only because the older generations would like to see “proper”, conventional wedding photos.

I first learnt of disposable wedding cameras in the 1980s when I attended my cousin’s wedding in Singapore and I thought that was a pretty good idea. It’s good to see that this idea has caught on so well by bridal couples.

If you are getting married and did not consider equipping your guests with disposable wedding cameras, I think you’d be missing a big part of the fun of your own wedding! Imagine going through an album of candid wedding photos years down the road. What memories these photos will bring!

The Ones To Talk To First

The Chinese believe that if you are involved in a legal case then it is bad luck to you. However, if you are armed with an experienced attorney, you need not be that superstitious anymore! Have you ever wondered if you were in need of a good attorney, how will you look for him? Do you ask your friends and family, check the internet or Yellow Pages? I think that if there is a necessity for me to engage an attorney, touch wood, I would ask my friends!

Actually, no matter where you are living in, the principal of looking for a good attorney, we call him a lawyer here, is the same. If you are living in the City of Austin though, and require a good Austin Car Accident Attorney, then you should seek out O’Hanlon, McCollom & Demerath.

This firm offers free case evaluation so they are the ones you should talk to first if you ever find yourself in hot soup in Austin, Texas!

Checking Out Adult Day Services Online

A couple of days ago, a man drove past my home and seeing me outside, stopped his car. He was looking for a senior citizens’ home for his grandfather.

He told me that his grandfather is already 84 years old and have difficulty in walking after a nasty fall not too long ago. They do have an Indon maid but she has to return to her country due to an expiring work permit. The next best course of action would be to place the old man in a home.

It was embarrassing that I could not give him the directions to the home that he wanted because thee are so many here in my residential area and most of them do not have a sign board as their application for licenses are still pending approval from the relevant authorities.

I asked him if he had checked for the address online from adult daycare listings but he did not. I felt really bad that I could not help him much. What I could only do was take down him phone number and the home that he was looking for. I could only promise to let him know once I found out from my neighbors. In the end, turned out that my mother knows which home he was looking for.

What’s On Your Mind?

As a blogger who is exposed to public, all bloggers are, anyway, sometimes it is just scary that there are people coming to read your blog and leaving without leaving a comment. Well, I have gotten used to that.

Another scary thing is that there will be someone who search your name or handle on the search engines and come upon your blog. This happens from time to time and I know that there are loyal readers who do this because they do not want to Bookmark my blog or subscribe to my RSS Feed.

But the scariest of all are the people who come to your blog from don’t-know-where and start reading the latest post and going back to the very first post! It’s fine if these people leave me a comment or something but no, they leave as silently as they arrived and they sometimes even show other people links to my post.

EYERRR!! Who are you? What do you want? What’s on your mind? What intentions do you have???

Have You Filed Your Taxes Already?

My sister tells me that 15th April is a huge day in the United States. It’s like the world has come to a halt because every one is busy filing their taxes. I thought only Malaysians do things at the last minute!

My friend, who is a tax audit lawyer in the United States, told me that April is the busiest time of the year for him and it is the same story every year!

For Malaysians, the last day to file tax is 30th April, 2008. It’s always 30th April yearly. Did you know that there are still many working people who are unaware of the deadline even though they have been filing their tax returns for years? I think they are so lucky to have good tax audit lawyers taking care of everything for them!

But for the majority of us, from now until the last day of April, we will all be busy with our tax forms and auditors! This is one stress-filled season, I tell you!

Coming Clean

Kicking a bad habit could be bad enough but when it comes to kicking an abuse, be it alcohol, nicotine or drug abuse, it could proof to be a huge challenge that many people could not handle.

However, for some people, a mere change of environment would do wonders. Maybe by going to another place to seek drug abuse treatment, he or she is staying away from the usual crowd, a crowd that may also be involved in drugs.

For other people, they need the best drug treatment center in a new city AND personal attention from coaches and trainers. Well, for people like these, perhaps they should check out DrugTreatmentCenterNewYork.com, a luxurious drug treatment center in Malibu, California.

If you check out the pictures on the website, you will notice how breathtaking the environment is. Imagine curing yourself from the nasty drug abuse overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The serene environment will help you put life into perspective and help you to turn over a new leaf. You would wonder why you put yourself through drug abuse when the world is so beautiful out there waiting for you to explore.

But it’s not too late if you are willing to kick the bad habit. Many people have told me that it is easier said than done about kicking a drug habit and that once you have it; it’s like your lifetime companion but it’s not true. Really, when there’s a will, there’s a way.
