How to save money on...food..in Kota Kinabalu.

Food in KK is really expensive. You won't get any complete food if you only have RM3, at least you need to have RM10 on hand if you want to eat outside.

Saving on food is one of the easiest way to do. Some people says when you stay alone, it's cheaper to eat outside than cook your own meal. But nah, that's just an excuse actually haha.

I only spend around RM40 weekly to buy groceries and it can lasts more than a week actually. Let me give you some example :

Veggies 1 : RM2 ( for 3 meals)

Vegge 2 : RM 3 ( for 3 meals)

Chicken : RM 4 ( 3 or 4 meals)

10 eggs : RM4.50 (5/6 meals)

frozen food : RM8 ( 8 - 10 meals)

Fish : RM12 (4 -5 meals)

Others : RM10

If you eat outside:

Breakfast ( Mee + telur mata ) + drinks : RM5.50

Lunch  : RM8

Dinner : RM8

If you have RM40, eating outside can lasts u only 2 or 3 days. But if you cook, it can lasts for more than a week.  You only spend RM50 the most per week if you cook. So it's only maximum around  RM200 per month. And you can eat healthy and delicious food!

Having your meal outside you will spend around RM350 or RM400 monthly. See the difference? You can save up to RM200 per month, which is RM2,400 per year!

And again what you can buy for RM2,400 ? You can settle your life insurance :).

Well it's an individual choice and i just happen to choose to spend wiser and save a lot so that maybe someday i can live my dream :)

Happy Monday people!

What is actually in my mind..

I am a programmer or some people call it system developer. My work is to do the thinking other people don't want to do- that's what i do for a living. I think.

I like to think and do calculation and making logic. My judgement is only based on math and logic and structure. If the math is correct, does it logic? If its logic will it provide a good structure for the foundation?
When all lead to YES, then i will start typing my codes, hundreds and thousands of lines, to build one perfect system for the client.

When i work, i love quite uninterrupted place. Where i can do all the math inside my brain before my fingers start moving typing the codes. When the logic become hard, my brain work really hard and i will be easily annoyed even with simple not-so-funny conversation.

Programmers is not weird person, they just being themselves, thinking and structuring. Well at least they are more realistic than some people who converse a lot or very loud but well an empty can. Not all, some people can be very loud but they have the brain or at least vision in life.

I might be very quiet ( sometimes ), that is when i analyzing new people or people i don't really know. I prefer to absorb all the talking rather than do the talking. Sometimes i just laugh at some stupid boasting talk some people will do to impress other people. Gosh, maybe the saying "It's better to keep silent and be thought as a fool , than to speak and remove all doubt" is indeed true :)

So when some people very quiet, don't simply judge them by saying they have the cruelest mind or cold or stupid or do not mingle or whatever negative judgment you have in mind. before you put any judgment on other person, make sure you are perfect. If not, you just another dog who bark the loudest but doesn't bite. After all action is better than just mere talking rite? :)
