Hay guys and gals! How y’all doin! The year keeps on rumbling on doesn’t it, we are almost a third of the way through, how are you going with your goals and plans for this year? If you’re like me – who hasn’t ticked anything off yet, don’t fret! Still plenty of time to get started, but get started you must. Following on from the post last time (here) about buying real estate off-the-plan (new build whether apartment or house), I received quite a number of messages regarding people’s stories of their successes and failures of purchasing off-the-plan. Suffice to say, although some people have done quite well with this…

6 Pros To Buying Off-The-Plan
What’s up ladies and gentlemen! Hope everyone had a great weekend. MrsFrugalSamurai-to-be certainly did – seeing as she had her hen’s on Saturday night. Poor old me was left home alone to entertain myself. I was crestfallen. … for about a minute! Because HUZZAH! It meant I finally had free rein over what I wanted to watch on Netflix. No more Korean dramas or American sitcoms for me! No siree, straight to bingeing on “The Adventures of Tintin”. Totally. Wild. But call me old, fact is that after the day I had on Saturday I really just wanted to lie in bed and watch some nostalgic childhood TV shows to unwind.…

Couple of nights ago we caught up with some friends and had a blow-your-mind, tip top meal over at a local restuarant. “Oooo, this dish tastes amazing” “Yep, I wish I knew…

Can You Handle Three Jobs At Your Employer?
“Hey TheFrugalSamurai – can you do this soon as you can, right now?” Whoa, we’re not in Kansas anymore ladies and gentlemen. If there was any indication that we are back to the grind, and away from the hedonism of South East Asia – the delivery and intonation of that message from the big boss on Monday morning brought me straight back to Earth. Mind you, when I woke up – I was tempted to take the greatest of Australian traditions and “pull the sickie” – which essentially means you call your boss on Monday morning to feign a life-threatening illness, obtain a miraculous recovery by Monday afternoon and walk…

Travelling, Just Do It!
Scene: Airport lounge. Time: Morning peak hour. Camera pans to a lone individual hunched over his laptop amidst the noise and chaos of Kuala Lumpur International Airport… he starts to type… Oh Wooooow! Ladies and Gentlemen, to say that this trip has been an epic adventure would not be justifiable in terms of epic adventures. I don’t think I’ve ever had one of these holidays for a long, long time. Seriously, need another holiday just to recover from this trip – somewhere which allows me to sit on a beach and pretend to be comatose for 8 hours at a time. The eye-opening encounters and unique experiences in the past…
