Car Alarm = Security Alarm System
This is not the first time I received this email. But like what I always do. I will close the mail after read and forget it. The suggestions given in the mail is actually so useful. I especially like the last advice / idea which I believe that comes from a person who really takes it in action. This is good to be alert on how to protect ourselves when comes to emergency. I need to re-locate my car chain hanger and put my car chain at a more suitable place.
If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.
This tip came from a neighborhood watch coordinator. Next time you come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this: It’s a security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation.
Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your house and will keep honking until your battery runs down or until you reset it with the button on the key fob chain.
It works if you park in your driveway or garage. If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your house, odds are the burglar/rapist won’t stick around. After a few seconds all the neighbors will be looking out their windows to see who is out there and sure enough the criminal won’t want that.
And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way there.
This is something that should really be shared with everyone. Maybe it could save a life or a sexual abuse crime.
P.S. I am sending this to everyone I know because I think it is fantastic.
Would also be useful for any emergency, such as a heart attack, where you can’t reach a phone. My Mom has suggested to my Dad that he carry his car keys with him in case he falls outside and she doesn’t hear him. He can activate the car alarm and then she’ll know there’s a problem.
Please pass this on even IF you’ve read it before. It’s a reminder.
Please share this with all the people in your life.
Professional Nurse
Because of my back pain, I discovered they are many patients who are having the same problem like me. After so frequent treatments in health center, I found that nurses are the same importance as doctor when patients need helps.
Because of the business expansion, there are many new staffs in the health center. Those trained staffs are requested to transfer to their new branches and more junior staffs has been hired. I am not sure whether they have any online nursing degree holders. But no matter they are online nursing degree graduated, either locally or overseas, as a patient, my request is simple. I need the competent to assist me. I prefer nurses who well know my back pain records can continue take care of me during my treatments because I feel more comfortable and reliable. Anywhere, I can see they work very well on training new staffs. No complaint so far.
iPad 2
Bro brought two iPad 2 before his way back to Malaysia. We are happy to receive this latest and famous gadget as gift from UK.
But we are surprise to know that the price he got is more expensive than Malaysia. Search from net and found that UK price had just recently been cut down to 399. This is the price bro paid. Although the iPad 2 price in UK has been cut down, but this is not the cheapest.
What’s the price selling in Malaysia? RM1499.00
Simple calculate with the current exchange rate of 4.8929, UK399 x 4.8929 = RM1,952.30. He had paid extra of RM453.00 per iPad 2! That’s a lot!
For those who has not own iPad1 like us, it is worth to buy in Malaysia.
Insurance for Employees
Does your company provide any insurance coverage as one of the staff benefits? I do hope every company can consider buying at least PA for their staffs. Of course, monthly Socso contribution paid is to protect employees and compensation can be claim if accident happened. It is good that bosses wiling to take better care of their employees, PA is an additional benefit to their staffs as well as employee’s family members. If a company can not afford to pay all staffs, they can selectively protect those high risk staffs like skilled workers and dispatch.
Just studied on the BCBS of NC offering variety insurance protection plans which I hope I can find it in our local insurance companies. For sure company can get good pricing with package offer. No one can predict when accident will comes, life can be less burden with the insurance protection when who can not report to work as usual because of the accident. A good package of benefits to employees might safe a company to spend on extra in an unpredictable condition.
Inflation
Bank Negara raised the OPR by 25 basis points to 3% last Thursday as inflationary pressure built up in the first quarter of this year on the back of higher food and fuel prices.
The central bank also increased the statutory reserve requirement by 100 basis points to 3% effective May 16 in a move to mop up liquidity in the local banking system.
Pricing pressure to continue building up with inflation averaging between 3% and 3.5% this year. Inflation rose to 3% in March to average 2.8% for the first quarter.
The daily life burden is higher nowadays because of the inflation. No more 20 cents Chinese tea selling but plain water is selling 30 cents per cup. I can not find noodles selling less than RM3.50 per bowl within my resident and working area. RM3.50 is considered so cheap but it will fill up about 80% of my stomach.
It is no surprise Bank Negara to increase the BLR rate. I would say for those who cash rich will be the gainer. Those owing to banks will trap into the higher interest repayment burden. Businessman can ease of the burden by increase products pricing to cover their higher financing cost. Working under employment who have no increment will find life is more difficult. They may need to work extra to enjoy the same lifestyle.
What’s the best way to overcome the situation? Spend less? Now you know how importance saving is!
Shoes
How many pair of shoes do you have? I like to buy new shoes. High heels are separated to dinner wear and office wear. Besides, sandals will need to have at least two types i.e. open toe or cover toe. Of course, different sport shoes for different sport as well. Not only the type and designs different, but different color is a must to match my clothes and handbags. I think most women have the same bad habit like me.
Previously I don’t like womens boots because I feel that my leg looks not nice after wearing boot. But with more and more different designs of boots, lately I successfully grabbed a pair that makes me looks taller and pretty at the same time. Since then, I not ignore the women boots section anymore.
Loves and Supports
I always feel that I and hubby having different thinking. Although we are not argue for whatever issues or topic when comes to conflict, but we are having problem to communicate further. I will query whether our relationship will have problem every time when comes to critical. This is the worry I have all the way.
But when days and years passed I am now so confident to commit myself that we loving each other. Always to my surprise, he will shows his loves and supports to me when the time I make my decision. Of course, all the advices and suggestion by him that I don’t agreed at the earlier stage I do take into consideration.
Couple life can be last till end of life with the trusts, cares, loves and supports to each other. I strongly believe.
Medicare Plan
I am only aware how importance to sign up a Medicare plan is when I admitted to hospital. I have to thanks hubby because he is the one who suggested me to buy the plan. At the beginning I will feel that I am losing money every year without enjoy any benefit from the coverage. But after my experience of operation in hospital few years ago, I know we had made the right decision.
We no need to come out our pocket money to pay for the fees. With the coverage, we are ease of pain to waste time concerning how to rush for money to pay the expensive operation and medical bills. No doubt that this is a good investment. Pay little money in advance to keep ourselves in protection.
Basketball Training
Elder princess is attending basketball training every Saturday. She is having weak body. Hopefully with the fix schedule of exercise classes can help her to build up her body health. I can see she loves the game very much. Initially hubby is worried that will his daughter able to play this game with her skinny weak body. But it seems like she is doing very well and she enjoys the classes very much.
Every time when I see she comes back with a whole sweaty body, wet shirt and pant and smelly shoe, I will pity whether she is too tired. She did complain she is arching all over with fatigue especially the next day after exercise. But that was just the beginning stage. After few months, I am proud of her adaptability and now she already gets used to it. This is really a good sign.
Good Quality Shoe
Just come across a website selling Coogi shoes make me wondering will my dad loves to try on one of the design. My dad complained that his foot pain comes back again recently. His friend recommended a special wine which made by traditional Chinese medicine and he is drinking every day now to cure the pain. Since he always believe that his friend’s ideas and advices are trustful so I just let him to continue and try on it.
But in long run, I rather he can take my advice to wear good quality shoes. I noticed that the pain will easily comes back when he busy in the garden at long hours. Besides, some times he will spend long hours to do exercises. I think his foot muscles are overloaded that make him feel the pain. A pair of good quality shoe is helpful for him to maintain good postures and comfortable movement. Let’s see whether he will like it.
