I have such cute friends..

March 10, 2012

This year is probably the second time I spent my birthday away from my family.
The first should be when I was serving the country in the National Service back in 2004.
This year, I'm in Portsmouth, UK.
If you read my last post here which I posted on my birthday, you'd probably see my view on birthdays.
Flat 1 "housemates"
There is nothing wrong with not celebrating birthdays with the family, but I just miss it.
Everyone in my family will keep themselves free on the day of our birthday, regardless of who.
This year, there's no exception. I received a facetime call from both my parents at 12am Malaysian time.
It is not often to see them still awake at 12am but they did it for me..oh so touched!!

21 years and 60 months old


March 10 has always been a memorable day for me.
It is on this day that I was born, but more importantly it is the day my Mom gave birth to me after being pregnant for 9 months.
I'd like to repost a blog post that I wrote on my birthday years ago..
Well, according to the post it said I was 22 years all back then..So its about four years ago.
*Whoa..time flies~!!!!*
I thought I wrote this last year hahahaha!!!
Anyways I do not eat meat nor drink alcohol on my birthday, some of you have asked me why so read the following post as I explained it there (:

My birthday = Mom's suffering day~

Every beginning comes to an end, or is it every ending comes new beginning?

Hello everyone!!
I'm sorry I haven't been updating my blog for some time as I was slightly busy finishing February and starting March.

How did your month ended for you? All well?
I had one of the best ending to the month of February I can ever imagine given my current situation.
My best friend, Evelyn, who is currently studying in University of Sheffield came to Portsmouth to visit me.
We had some awesome time together visiting neighbouring cities like Brighton and of course not to forget Portsmouth itself!!
After her 4 day visit, we went to London together where I meet another friend who came from Malaysia!!
We had a lot of good time hence I'm a very happy person towards the ending of the month.

Finance 101: Are you really saving money?

My parents have taught me to save money since I was really young.
They would teach me to put the money I received every Chinese New Year in the bank instead of spending it.
Though the amount I save each year wasn't a lot but that figure grew each year until I finally felt like using it, I had a lot of money!!
Saving money is a good habit - This statement is valid in the 20th century.
What about the 21st century? Times change, should our perspective and habits change too?

Robert T. Kiyosaki, author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" said this is one of his videos.
That's right. The truth hurts!!
Lets do some thinking here, to what extend do you agree/disagree with this statement?
Share your thoughts (:

My Khor Values??

Core Values - Image credits to thefinancialbrand.com

Everyone has certain values that they think is most important to them, don't they?
Have you ever thought of what values are those to you?
Well, I do and I always did.

Why name this blog My Khor Values?

Torn between two blogs

Hello everyone~!!!

Don't know how many times I've said this but WELCOME TO MY BLOG~!!!!
Well, to some of you whom have read my previous blog(s) before, you may know that I have a few blogs already.
Unfortunately this time I didn't do it voluntarily.
This new blog is born because my previous wordpress blog (which I plan to redesign a full fledge website soon) was having some bandwidth problems.
Hence I decided to go back to blogger since I had loads of fun blogging with them for the past few years.
(AND I don't have to worry about bandwidth issues..I hope)
However, I'm also considering porting my domain, www.lesliekhor.com over here.

So..what's new in this blog?
