Another bites the dust

This morning I found another one of my fish dead on the floor next to the fish tank. It had jumped out of the tank overnight, this is the second fish that has done this. The first one I managed to save because I found it just in time, I was able to put it back in the water only to have it died on me days later.

But this time it must've jumped out much earlier cause by the time I saw it it was already lifeless. Comets are fast swimmers and can leap out of the water so easily. I need to lower the water level or cover up that opening where they tend to jump out from.

Useful guide to web hosting

I started blogging on the free platform from BlogSpot but eventually after much consideration and two years later I finally decided to get my own domain name and found someone to host my personal domain for me. Thing is I’m clueless when it comes to web hosting and other internet related stuff, that might be another reason why I didn’t get my own domain name sooner. I’m the type that won’t budge until someone pushes me and I’m glad that someone did. If not I’ll probably still be on BlogSpot today.

Now I’ve been with my current web host for nearly a year and soon I will need to re-register for another year or find another web host to host my domain. I’m in the process of looking for a better deal and since I don’t know anything about web hosting a guide to web hosting at KaushalSheth.com is really helpful for me. There are so much information I’m learning everyday there.

Lazy Easter

It's been a really quiet Easter break for me. I'm having a 5 day weekend starting on Easter Friday right until the following Tuesday but I've yet to do anything except staying at home and doing simple house chores and working on my scale model and gardening.

Some friends of ours have rented a place down in Phillip Island and had invited us to go visit them. Terese said we might go when she's bored sitting at home but she's enjoying her boring lazy weekend too much to want to go anywhere now. I'm bored out of my mind but if she's not going what's the point?

Remember its your money

If there’s one thing we can’t live without it is money. Not only does money makes the world go round sadly we all need it just to survive in the modern world and as long as we need money we will always need banks to keep our money in the forms of savings accounts, checking accounts and certificate of deposit accounts or CD accounts for short.

There are a lot of financial institutions out there wanting you as their customers so you as a consumer have the power to choose the banks or credit unions that can offer you the best rates for your money. Shopping around always pays off in the end but there’s just too many to choose from. This is where eMoneyCentral.com comes in; here you can find all the best rates offered by all the major financial institutions like the best savings account rate of 4.6%, checking account rate of 6% and also the best available cd rates on the market. Remember its your money and you’re the customer.

After dinner drive

Last night after dinner we went for a drive to the Brunswick library. It kind of reminded me of the times when I was still small living with my parents back in Sibu. We would go for after dinner drive around town which was nice. Well that was the times before television came into our lives.

Now our lives seem to be dictated by what's showing on TV! If there's shows we want to see on that night then there's no time for those precious little moments anymore...so sad.

Visiting New Zealand

Even though I’ve been living in Australia for the last 18 years I’ve never been to our neighbor New Zealand which is only a few hour flight away. I really should be thinking of going there one day. At the moment the New Zealand Tourism is promoting heavily in Australia trying to entice Australians to go over there for holidays.

So I will be making New Zealand my next holiday destination. There are a few New Zealand cities I would like to visit when I’m there like Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. I can find and organize my New Zealand Hotels at Cheaperthanhotels NZ. Auckland Accommodation can be found there as well as Wellington Accommodation. There’s also Christchurch Accommodation and Queenstown Accommodation all of which are easily found and booked at Cheaperthanhotels NZ. So New Zealand here I come!

Going to the shop

Went into town to get some paints for my model project. The shop I was going had a rock concert right in the front of it! Right smack in the middle of Lonsdale Street and traffic has been blocked on one side so I had to walk all around just to get to my shop.

Outside the shop the owner was arguing with the concert organizers. Apparently they've been telling people they can't get to his shop which made the shop keeper hopping mad. I went into the shop and sure enough it was quieter as usual but at least I got my paints and a needle file as well.
