How to maximise my company Current Account surplus

jimmyay — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 11:48:59 +0800

Most of the time, my current account will have surplus on day to day basis which do not earn interest. Currently i am using Repo and FD earn some interest out of it. However, i need to plan on my own. Is there any automatic way to do it?

HSBC Powervantage Personal will automatically transfer my surplus from Current to Saving Account on daily basis. Therefore it will earn a decent interest also. Does any bank offer something like this to company?

How to increase pick up for CRV 2003

jimmyay — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:08:45 +0800

I just got a second hand CRV 2003. The condition of the car is superb...except the engine is dull and not responsive. Mileage less than 80,000KM but as it is only use in small town, it seldom exceed speed of 100km/h. So the car is lagging. I guess it never have practice. And still i am paying RM0.26/km as i normally accelerate.

Any suggestion to improve it? I even thought of changing the whole engine. Viable?

Problem with my Polo TSI (one mth old)

jimmyay — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 06:26:46 +0800

Help help.. my 4 week old Polo TSI (mileage less than 2k) had these problem and now it is CNY season. I really don't want to be the traffic jam creator on North South highway.

Problem 1-The EPC + check engine + anti-skid turn on. Then the car lost power and jerk. So i turn off and on, now it is back to normal. Will try to drive around before going down the highway.

Problem 2-Noticed that the air-cond not cold temporary...around 10 minutes.

History of my Polo.
During my first week.. windscreen broke. Fuel lid broke. And now this... sigh.

Vios VS Celica

jimmyay — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:19:53 +0800

I had Vios for 8 years and it serve well. Power and pick up is sufficient. I always like the celica (year01-05) due to the outlook.
How is it when comparing this 2?

Maintenance
Comfort
Power
Fuel Consumption
Outlook - Sure Celica is more cool

Welcome any comments.

Car is so expensive now that we have to stick to it for what...7 or 9 years. If just rent, can change car often. And i can drive from Klang and drop in KLCC. It's like a self-drive public transport.

Does skipping meal of 500 calories

jimmyay — Wed, 28 Sep 2011 12:33:25 +0800

Lot of people say to reduce weight, we need to create negative calories scenario.
Input = Food
Output = Metabolism

Output need to be more than Input...then body weight will start to reduce. So if i skip a meal, is that sames as exercise?

jimmyay — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 22:21:36 +0800

I love those (red & white) spicy and salty style from Batu Pahat, Johor style. This is a must have food when i am back to hometown. Any idea where in Klang valley i can find these.
