Anyone read about news about yet another protest at KLCC? I guess not. Malaysia with towering skyscrapers, nice shopping centers, friendly people but with a restricted mass media.

Forget about paying RM1.20 for The Star newspaper, subscribe to MalaysiaKini for RM15 a month and save more when you go for the annual subscription. I am not getting paid or anything…I just want people of our generation to understand our country more and to know the truth.

I was looking around for a budgeting software… well, I found a couple last time but never really use them. But starting from next month, June of 2006, I will start recording every little thing I spend on… yes even on that teh oh ais limau. I found a useful “office template” but you need to have Microsoft Excel installed and open the link with Internet Explorer for problem free usage of the budget template.

Microsoft Office template website is one of the hidden gems for many of us. You can find almost anything there. Some might not be really usable, but it really helps to get you started. And best of all, it is one of the few “free” stuff from Microsoft.
