yesterday i manage to get myself 2 books. i couldnt find one more book on the shelf. probably it is out of stock. even the other 2 was the final copy lest.wuhuu

so here are the books;

1. my reality check bounced by jason ryan dorsey – read my 23rd march entry

2. girl,get your money straight! by glinda bridgforth – i get to know this book thru oprah.com , her book club.

and here is the sneak review on the book;
“If you’re tired of feeling powerless over your finances and are ready to start funding your dreams, then come on girl–it’s time to get your money straight! Author and financial expert Glinda Bridgforth knows that healthy money management is rarely just about dollars–it’s about getting to the root of why we spend what we do and recognizing the emotional and cultural issues that play out in our unhealthy financial habits. Girl, Get Your Money Straight! presents her seven-step program for holistic financial healing–an upbeat, empowering road map that you can use to identify your heart’s desires, break away from negative spending patterns, pay off outstanding debts, develop a spending plan, conquer the checkbook blues, and create new wealth. Filled with Bridgforth’s warmhearted wisdom and advice, and complete with worksheets exercises, affirmations, and inspiring stories of African American women who have found financial peace of mind, Girl, Get Your Money Straight! is a fresh, fun, and eminently practical guide to healing your bank account and building a life that you love.”

i already started to read the first book.n it definitely not indah khabar dr rupa.sgt best ok..

i’m off to course at tganu this sunday-thursday..will try to finish both books and continue my crossstitching project.hehe

k ppl.tata

Came across this book just now.thru yahoo page.i read the 1st chapter.interesting.ok la regardless of the author-mat saleh.but still the book is quite interesting.mmg ade part tu mcm lbh kpd cara hidup mat saleh.tp abaikan yg tu.amik yg ada kaitan je.hmm

I love the part when he said,

“Waiting for any other time, especially the right time, to make your break for your dreams just wastes irreplaceable opportunities.You end up sitting on your dreams while your fears and insecurities take the lead. You continue getting older and more frustrated but not an inch closer to what will bring more meaning and satisfaction to your life, yet it’s entirely your choice—even if you decide to ignore the fact that you choose the life you lead.”

and this part,

“How can doing everything right end up feeling wrong?”

the rest u can find in the book itself.rs mcm nak bli buku ni.ingt nak cr this weekend kat mph sales.

berikut adalah yg dpt sy simpulkan hasil drp bacaan chapter 1 tersebut,

1. stop being a mediocre
2. add the spices in ur life by doing things other than ur daily routine, something that can change the world(wow!)eg start with visiting the orphans?
3. do whatever u feel like doing n stop doing something that u dun feel like doing.well as long as the thing is good lah.kalau mlanggar bts agama jgn la kan.

well cant wait to read the book myself!=)

k pen off.tata

i loooove to observe ppl.i even wish to hav a master in psychology cuz am good at observing ppl behaviour, analyze…

so currently i’ve been observing on ppl’s behaviour on money. so far,i mean,generally there are 3 types of ppl in this world(at least in malaysia):

1. person who have lots(read: A LOT!) of money n dun bother spending it
comment:person who fall in category 1 are basically who come from a very rich family n more or less a spoilt child.not to say that they are spoilt ppl.but honestly i think that they are BEING spoilt by the way they been bred.not to blame the parents who have loads of money but blaming them for raising their children in a luxury way. i came acrossed a blog, so called shopaholic’s blog.she has a set of sisters n they love shopping.they can shop like almost everyday n spent almost thousands per day!they splurge on branded stuff n even go shopping overseas eg paris!!just imagine.handbags,makeups,shoes,blouses etc etc.am not sure of her family background but they sure orang kaya tak hengat.but i love to read their blogs.yela sendri tak mampu nk jd cemtu.ehee

2. person who (actually) have more than enough money for living but still keep on complaining
eg comparing with other ppl wages/salary tho he doesnt deserve that much of salary.uh huh
comment:majority of the ppl that i observe fall in this category.impressive?no?

3. person who have enough money for living and always grateful of what he has
comment:and there goes the minority. i wish to meet this group of ppl.how they manage to be satisfied with what they have as other ppl dont.yes money is not everything

so in which category i fall into?hmm..i dunno myself sbb i observe ppl je.heh

what matters most is how u manage the money.regardless whether u earn so much or so less, u r what u buy.just make as a habit-to at least save 10% of ur mthly income,put it in ur saving account so that u wont feel tempted with the $$ n plus, u can get year end dividend!well after all, human wont ever feel satisfied.when they have a lot, they want more.so just put a limit n be realistic!

n theres one ustaz said,”peruntukkan sekurg2nye 10% drp pdptn kita utk bersedekah/membantu org lain.inshaAllah kita takkan miskin selama2nya”..cool kan?

nowadays ppl dun buy the “money is not everything” quote as every single thing needs $$.even nak pi toilet kat kdai mamak pun dah kne byr.klaka x.oh ya btw toilet kat klcc is RM2 per entry…i wonder how does the toilet looks like.sure air paip dr evian.hmm..hence the quote shud be,”everything is money” lah..kan?

in a nutshell, manage ur $$, do a lot of saving as possible n on top of all,be thankful of what u have

pen off.tata

p/s:been thinking of having a new hobby, knitting!!hav to shop for the benangs n all…cant wait
