Had lasagna for lunch today at City Cafe with my colleague. Actually, I was accompanying her to meet her childhood friend for lunch. It seemed that the childhood friend is a full time unit trust agent after working for central bank for 11 years.

Read in a newspaper somewhere a few days ago, about these two twenty somethings women, each driving a Beemer, after dabbling in this unit trust thing.....well that certainly got me interested..

It seems that you have to go through a special exam to qualify for licence an agent and another internal exam with the financial institutions you are affiliated with. It costs RM268 for both exams. The commission ; 3 % for anything above RM100,000, lesser commission for lesser amount ( e.g 2.75% for RM70,000 or something like that.)

My colleague already went though the special exam and already had a licenc, but the licence has already expired. She needs to renew it and go through the internal exam with the financial institutions. The exam is more on product knowledege and things like that.

I heard a lot of succcess stories throughout lunch. The childhood friend has gone on numerous overseas trip as incentives and is looking for another property within KL after building her dream home in Bangi.

Well, me....do I think that I have what it needs to be successful in this line? Am certainly interested to try, but convincing people to part with their life savings or EPF to invest in units trusts certainly requires lot more than interest...hmmm hmmm some things to ponder over the weekend....

Facial stroke

Is it possible to have stroke attack only at the facial area? My mom just told me that my dad cant's control his left side of his face. It seemd that his eye bow, cheeks and lips are drooping. And he can't eat or drink properly.

Will bring him to a nearby clinic and afterwards to an urut session somewhere in Melaka. Will post update later.

Anis jatuh basikal!!



Anis received a brand new lime green bicycle from Baba as her 4th birthday present. My mom gave her RM100 which Baba went and invest into ASP. I bought her 2 birthday cakes already, one pre birthday and one post birthday.

The bicycle is a 4 wheeler with 2 main wheel and 2 supporting wheels as Anis is still an L licence holder.......but she rides on it proudly in front of the house, as if to show the neighbour kids....hey, look here...I'm one of the big kids, I have my own bike...

The fateful fall happen when she was showing off to her cousins. She can't controlled the bike as it went down the slope in front of my house and went right smack into the front gate. I was in kitchen at the time, when I heard loud shrieks and scream....I thought ..hmmm biaselah bebudak ni main, sure ade yang menangis punya....when I heard...eh lain macam aje Anis ni nangis, as if in great pain.

When I dashed forward, I fell fainting when I saw blood streaming down her face , all over her dress. Blood flow non stop from her nose and when someone suggested that it might be broken, I felt like going hysterical....

Fortunately, sis in law and my mom was there to calm thing down. Brought some ice to stop the blood from flowing and Baba sent her to clinic. Changed her dress before going, as the dress was smeared with blood.

Fortunately, nothing was broken. Her upper lips suffered some gash. Her forehead and nose was swollen black blue. Other than that, everything was normal. In fact she was chatting normally to every one as she was excited to cut her Barbie cake ( her post birthday cake).

Her friends next door, Sasha, Ifa, Niza along with auntie Wahidah came, Mak Long, Bang Long, auntie Bani and kak Fifah was also present. Baba and Tok Bah just sat at the hall while Nana and Maman were trying to menyelit between the adults to catch a glimpse of kak Anis's cake. And Tok was nearly crying,seeing Anis is alright after the frightful fall. Will post a pic next time.
