Exorbitant Rentals

DH has been doing a bit of house-hunting Down South. I knew that rental there was expensive but I never knew how terribly expensive it was. One of the places he looked at was a tiny little space of less than 600 sq ft and was totally bare except for some lighting fixtures hanging from the ceiling. That place was going at a whopping few thousand which was absolutely crazy! I can’t imagine people will pay so much for a place like that but evidently there are interested parties otherwise the prices wouldn’t be pushed up so high.

Hopefully we find an affordable place otherwise whatever potential savings we had would be just going into rent.

Cutting Up My Cards

The recent Budget didn’t go down very well with average Malaysians, especially in the area of the RM50 credit card tax. I’ve already started to cancel some of my cards where I can. I’ll still consider keeping one for the time being, just to take advantage of some of the great merchant services linked with that card such as free access to the airline lounges which helps a lot when I travel.

However I’ll be cutting up all those that don’t offer much. How about you? Are you cancelling your cards too?

Chatting Online

I’m so glad for Skype at home. It allows me to chat to DH at night after work. My old office used to allow all kinds of chat software such as MSN Messenger and Skype which helped me keep in touch with many of my friends. However, this new office is so strict that all kinds of chat have been banned except for the internal chat system. Even that is being kept a close watch on by my boss!

What a pity otherwise I can chat to DH every now and then too from work when I need to urgently tell him something. Thank goodness they have not banned internet emails such as Gmail or Yahoo!
