Wow, I have been away from my AKPK debt management program’s progress blog for a while! February was long gone and March is here and will be here for a few more weeks.
Time flies, right? Christmas and Chinese New Year was like yesterday only and now it’s March the 4th.
After spending 3D 2N in Kuala Lumpur, I came home yesterday afternoon. It’s a rewarding trip although I had to attend a relative’s funeral on the first night.
I enjoyed my second day in KL the most. Right after breakfast, my younger sister sent me to her beautician for a 2-hour facial, eye and neck treatment. The treatment fee was charged into my sister account, so it’s a free treatment for me. 
After the facial treatment, my sister and I had lunch at a nearby coffee shop. I tried to pay for it, but my sister was faster than I was when it came to pulling out money from the purse. So, free lunch for me.
At night, she brought along her two sons and together we went to the Jusco at Setiawangsa. We had our dinner at Sushi King. Ouch, more than RM90 for 4 of us! Of course, my younger sister footed the bill, again.
Each time I try to pay the bill, she will insist on paying. After a few times, I just let her pay without pulling out my purse at all. 
One of the reasons why my younger sister insists on paying is that I am the guest when I am in Kuala Lumpur. I am a guest, so she will pay. Similarly, I will foot the bill when she comes visiting me in Ipoh.
I think another reason is that she takes my visit as an opportunity to spend money. You see, she works very hard and long hours in the shops with her husband. Three shops in a row! They own one and rents the other two shops for their motor biz.
She works from 9 a.m. till 8.30 p.m. every day, except Sunday. In between, she has to go to banks and fetch her kids to and fro schools and tuition centers. Day in and day out, …
She admits that she has money, but she has no time to rest or go traveling. When she finally squeezes out a few days for a short trip, her husband will rant a bit. Sometimes she is fed up with her never ending work routines and hubby who only loves working.
Wow, isn’t it good to have a hubby who enjoys his work very much? My sister is very lucky to have such as a workaholic hubby. Similarly, my brother-in-law is fortunate to have my sister who is good at handling the money, finance, management and customer service of the company.
Due to the workaholic hubby and her acumen in business that they are able to buy another house which is of RM400,000 in this bad economy. Phew, a RM400,000 corner-lot double storey house!
Coming back to my trip in Kuala Lumpur, I spent very little, RM37 on bus fare and less than RM20 on foods and drinks!
