I’d say we have a younger crowd in the office. I am often consulted on things such as real estate or investment products. I was asked what I think of gold bullions for starters. It could be challenging but I think if you can find a very competent hard asset agent committed to serve your investment needs, then there’s nothing to worry about.

On another note, I had another migraine attack yesterday. It was because I forgot to drink coffee earlier that morning. So while office team mates were inviting for dinner, I suggested we eat at this Chinese restaurant where I usually drink the house tea. Tea has that calming effect on me. After dinner, one suggested we buy coffee. I was given a small cup of coffee and was surprised how strong it was. I was waiting for my migraine to subside but I couldn’t work anymore. I decided to take Advil. So I’m not really sure what helped me, the tea, the strong coffee or Advil. Maybe all three as I was even able to work when I got home.

Yes, you read that right. Instead of there’s a new “something” in town, there’s a new town… in Facebook!

The husband is hooked to playing the Car Town. Like everyone else that I know who is/was hooked to other FB games such as the Farm Town and other towns there (haha), he has started to “schedule” his FB playtime. He enjoys buying cars, extending his garage, and having an office complete with exit alarm. Why, my account is even used as a dummy account. I don’t mind. I’m not really into games. Even when Atari and Super Mario were all the craze, I was busy playing with something else. Ooops, age shows.

I’ve been reading digital camcorder reviews. I can just buy an SLR though with video recording features. Don’t get me wrong, I love our current SLR and would rather splurge on some lenses. Yes I’m dreaming of not just one but 2 lenses. But reality kicks in, I know I will have to make do with the lenses that I have.

But let’s face it, a camcorder (as opposed to an SLR with recording features) is much better when travelling, or for school programs. Trust me, because whatever you do, you will never, as a mom, be as ready as you have wanted to be.

Just recently, friends have invited us to join them in a trip to Macau, plus a side trip to Hong Kong. I hesitated because one, we have gone there twice. Two, we are saving for something. Three, husband and I agreed we’ll wait for our daughter’s 7th birthday for our next trip abroad. Sounds a bit harsh huh? Hahaha. I know we really won’t be able to stick to this agreement but at least we’re trying.

Yes, I would love to come back to Macau and for the husband to finally bungee jump. I would take more photos of the amphitheatre (day and night) and of our daughter whom I wish won’t be as camera-shy anymore. I would also like to go back to Hong Kong and re-visit Ocean Park. I also plan to eat authentic Chinese food again. And I would love to buy some gold coins in the area. Since you’re in HK, why not combine the leisure trip with business? As we all know, investing in gold is one way of preserving wealth and purchasing power. Great plan yes, but I declined my friend’s invitation. Sticking with my 3 reasons.
