A.P.P.L.E

It was really exciting during the first day in secondary school. New environment, new friends, new teachers, new text books and of course new stationeries. The most exciting moment (for me) was using pens to write notes instead of the pencils. I don’t know about others, but in primary schools, pen are forbidden.

What sort of ink pens do you use? Do you prefer branded pens or any pens as long as there’s ink in it? My favorite one will be Papermate ball pen. It’s smooth when you write! The Pilot ink pens are favored by most of us. Pilot G-TEC-C4, anyone? Such pen is expensive but still I can see a lot of my friends using it. I remember one friend of mine having a whole bunch of Pilot G-TEC-C4 pens in her pencil case. COOL!

Today, working in the office, I don’t have much choice. But lucky enough that I’m still given a Faber-Castell 0.5mm ball pen to use. It’s very fine and can last longer. Erm..well, I don’t always write in the office, that’s why the pen can last longer.

Wilmington is a city in New Hanover County, North Carolina, United States. The population was estimated at 100,000 as of 2006 making it the eighth largest municipality in the state. Wilmington experienced staggering growth in the 1990s, ranking at one point as the second fastest growing city in the country, behind only Las Vegas. Economists have forecasted growth in the Greater Wilmington area to be the strongest in the state between 2004-2010, averaging 7%. Policom, an independent economic research firm that specializes in analyzing local and state economies, has ranked Wilmington as the 41st strongest economy in the United States, and delivered an “A” rating for economic outlook. - source: Wikipedia

If you are thinking of living in Wilmington, then Wilmington real estate is for you. Just like the picture to the left, it’s one of the featured properties.  Look so luxurious right? I bet for my entire life I won’t be able to live in a place like this. A small cosy room for me and my love will do.

Are you a poker player? There are some poker tables made available for sale. If you like to play poker at home with family and friends, perhaps consider getting one yourself.

I’m not good at any card games or board games. I was once asked by Orange if I know how to play Mahjong. LOL…My answer is no. He gave me a feedback like “Why not? I thought all Chinese know how to play Mahjong..”

Haha..no, really I don’t know how to play. The only board game that I know is Reversi . =.=

I believe ex-Hong Kong celebrity Edison Chen has become even more popular after the leak and distribution of nude picturess of himself and several female celebrities. This was a hot topic discussed among people almost everywhere. Spreading of those nude pictures is getting more and more serious, although legal action has been taken in HK and China. But you have to know that Internet is so wide without range. Once a thing is spread around the Internet, it’s hard to totally demolished.

What do you think about this act? Is it really a disgrace like what others said?

Looking back into my archives, there’s a few post about insurance. Will you get yourself a life insurance? My parents do invest on life insurance but I don’t really know how this thing work. So I decided to do a bit of answer hunting on the term life insurance.

In life insurance, a large number of people (called policyholders) pay some money (premiums) into a fund managed by an insurance company. When someone in that group of people suffers a hardship, he/she is given an amount of money from the fund to help ease the hardship.

Okay, that’s just a very simple introduction of life insurance. There’s many ways you can get a life insurance. Ever heard of mortgage life insurance? It is an great way to protect your family and your home in the event of your untimely passing and it provides a death benefit that can be used by your beneficiaries to pay off the remaining balance of your mortgage.

That’s a nice plan if you need financial backup in purchasing an insurance. Insurance is not cheap, isn’t it?
