Tracking Device for my Building Contractor
By arlene | April 30, 2010
I remembered last year, that I hired a bunch of guys to build me extra bathroom for our main bedroom. Sadly, my contract said I had to pay my building contractor and their guys by hours. It was ridiculous, I found out it later.
But I did figure out something, something under my control. I don’t like to be called a freak. If you were in my shoes, you wouldn’t do that. These guys I hired just needed me to be there with them and pay extra attention.
They didn’t feel embarrassed at all when I went for my client and refused all they did were got drunk at the nearby bar and I still had to pay them, because the stupid contract said so. Then I had to track down where they have been even they gave you some unshakable reason “ we are heading out for building material.”

Rugs turn our House into “the riches”
By arlene | April 30, 2010
I love my house just like my mom. I learnt to copy my life because I love what I had. Some friends just live in their fantasy dreams, they never looked around and thanked god for they had. Life is starting to appreciate what we had and be more positive to value and add value to what we are. That is me. I am happy of who I am. I don’t live something impossible at this moment of my life. So I appreciate everything here today. And what I do is improving what I had. I love my house more than anyone.
Anyone who has stepped inside my house always amazed. Tidy, clear, sparkling and beautiful… these are what I always awarded. The most made me proud is my gorgeous rugs collections. I display different color and design rugs to décor and different room by room. If you are good at colors, you will know these rugs are capable of decorating your house more than any décor you had.

It is the best thing to live by myself. It is the best thing to rent an apartment. I think I love being alone. I love the rich feeling of just being myself.

Watch out for the hidden cost; building contracts not worth the paper they are written on
By arlene | June 17, 2009
Gina of Parklands learned this to her cost. She was not able to be at home while minor renovations were taking place, and says that the job was botched. No worries, she thought. It stated on her invoice that the builder is a member of a professional body which is supposed to cover homeowners in the event of things going wrong. Gina called the association. ‘Sorry,’ they told her, ‘we cannot help you because you did not build from the ground up. We do not cover renovations, only a new build.’ Thanks very much.

US Money Market
By arlene | June 17, 2009
Americans do spend a lot. Each time the Federal Reserve Bank cuts the interest rate, the best signal to Americans is to increase the credit and spending. Standing on the economic point, we spend our future money. Can and do we make the future money can’t be answered. So what are we going to spend? It is quite clear is credit which is something we don’t make it yet. The perfect economic condition is the money we spent is equal to the money we saved. If there is no savings, the overspending economy or the blooming economy is first heading expansion then due to the shortage of real savings, the false blooming economy is reversed back to depression.
The Federal Reserve Bank uses the interest rate as the best government economic stimulating weapon. Are we going to save now? For the sake of future economy real growth, the economy does need everyone’s contribution of savings. But look what is the government doing? Sitting back and cutting the interest rate almost close to zero, they do hope the cutting will stimulate the investment spending, the consumption spending. What we do? Keeping applying the new credit cards to pay the previous ones? That was not the economy asking for. Read the rest of this entry »
