Travel Certificated --->>>membership one time payment SGD $10K!!

After the listening session, I immediately back home and do the online searching. 

As I know, I am not the only one. But wonder how other experience it. 

Here the article I found that happened in Singapore;

One of the voucher from this company;

I found out there are actually connected with vacation gateway in california, so I did the google search. Here are the cases happened;

Suspicion:
1. Founder in Singapore starting the business at 1997. Whereas the vacation getaway started at 2004. 
2. Founder in Singapore are 2 hotelier, who owned hotel in China & Thailand. But he never mentioned of who are they, no pictures showing them too. 
3. Office presentation is very poor. It look like the company that going to close down soon. Logo printed on paper and mount on wall. 
4. All the voucher that we received are the same number
5. They didn't proof themselves about their company. 
6. No instruction on how to redeem the package.
7. When I did the online searching of their name, mostly appear only their website, secondly is the article that mentioned about scam, fraud.

Women, emotionally sex? Men, physically sex?

Do you agree with Women, emotionally sex? Men, physically sex?


I do agree with that. Many people told me, love... is only a passion when you know each other for the first 3 years. After all, it is only about relationship. After married, sex life is kind of difficult to maintenance it. 


Kid is the problem. Woman get tiring from work, after work taking care of kid. The energy spent through the day is extremely burst. After the whole tiring day, a comfy and quiet sleep that might she think of. What if the man is asking for romance? That's really a difficult situation and the man know that she is tiring... and he loves her and they just hug and sleep tight....


and well... day by day... what do you think such a situation can last long? When if a man is physically needs sex? Are the woman challenging on his passion, love or faith?


I don't think this is an good idea to take the risk. We don't clap with one hand. Think about it and find the solution.


If you think kid would be the problem, have a short romance gateway vacation. For only both of you. Put your kids out of your mind just for couple days, for your beloved.


If woman, if you think you are hard to get excited about sex. Start exercise today! It works! Detail


Buy some romance DVD, love story.. create a nice ambience for both of you. You could stay in a hotel to get away from kid. 


And last, while have sex session, please especially women, please throw away all your worries behind you. You should be relax and enjoy... ... Thinking too much will make yourself stress which is NO!


Happy married, happy sex~

SOHO life for these 3 months

Start my own firm since 3 months ago, a SOHO life. I thought I could be boring and I thought I could be so lonely and maybe I could not learn anything.

Taking this step from working for people to self-employ is not easy. Although money is not everything,  but that the first thing that spinning in my mind. Hesitating.

Life is full with challenging, starting a business was something that I wish to achieve in my life, doing this decision was not planned when to start and it just happened to start to do it. Well, no regret.

In fact, I think it was amazing. I learn many things. Something that I could not learn by working for people. Everyday I talk with many people from all around the world. They knew something that I don't. So I learned. And I know, this path will lead me to somewhere else. It might tough but worth it.

I hate the man sleep just right after sex!! especially snoring...

I am really really hate this...

Making love should be such a romance thing to do... full with love... well, we all know the love, the passion may not last long. After years, all may turns to relationship... but this should not be the excuse of having a sex like having a meal.

If you going to do this, then I would suggest you to have lesser sex section but with a quality one.

We, women, totally will felt upset, annoying when the man that we love do this to us. We are not a tool, not something that you can throw to aside after you used it. Especially women, we are full of emotional nerves. So please do not do this to us. Is upset and not respect to us.

So, all the men, please do something. Please don't give excuses anymore cause we know that we must work on it, we need a solution.


If you really really tiring. At least do one thing, hugging your love one, rub her head gently, hold her and sleep in your arm. Simple as that, and enough.

Thanks for being grateful and thoughtful.

fate

Todays, I think many of us has really strong feeling of what had happened to Japan. We are sad for sure.. this is not a movie... and was so real so terrifying...  and we need to move on.

So what in your thought? There are billion people in the world.. we get to know each other, being close or being far... that's thing called fate bring us along. Do cherish it as you won't know when it last. My friend.
