Relocation, anyone?

The place where i used to work for as an accounts executive, i was in-charged of the accounts payable and have to issue cheques payable to different suppliers and such. As the company which i was working for was a multi-national company and its head office is in Atlanta, USA. As such, there were alot of expatriates coming to my country to work for its offices here. They will engage movers to help them to relocate their stuff to a temporary location to house those big items and ship over those smaller items over here for usage. At times, they will also list their property under agents to help them put under homes for rent to earn them some money too. If their relocation is a permanent kind of posting, then they will start to think of putting up their Homes for sale as well.

National Relocation is a relocation portal that has a real estate channel with area information, home values and forms to fill out to connect agents with buyers and sellers. Look for them today!

Halloween Party...

is a fun thing to play along and not only for younger kids, adults too can join in the fun too. Before coming into this profession of a travel agent, i used to work for a country club and the lounge that is situated inside the club always has fun themes going on for their members. One theme which is the most fun for me has to be Halloween party. Lots of drinks, food, dancing with the gals are the sort of thing that the members engaged themselves while in the lounge here. The lounge also dresses up itself to look scary and haunted and the waiter and waitress will also dress to the theme. I have a friend who is working inside the lounge and was thinking about what to wear this year for Halloween. I recommended him to get some Halloween Ninja costume and not just any costume but from the famous online store called Karate Depot.com. They offer authentic ninja uniform made of cloth and complements it with split toe ninja boots and socks and a black wooden ninja sword to make this set. Sizes run from a small child up to 6’5” 250 lbs.

Watch out coz our new ninja will have his grand appearance in the Halloween party!

A treat from my boss!

To reward those whom were there during the last 3 weekends of gruelling travel fairs, my boss has decided to reward his staff and bring them to a nearby hotel for a buffet dinner.

Its just a 10 minutes walk from my travel agency and the ambience is nice and cool. The food is okay as i have tried their high tea before. Although, i must comment is that their dishes are usually the same kind of food served. Someone suggested to my boss to take us all for a meal at the Ritz Carlton, but he replied that our nearby hotel's dishes has since changed. Well, i guess my boss wants to save some of his hard earned money which was in exchange for the hard work that all this staff have put it - time.

Retirement!!!

My government is releasing this news of our citizens retiring at the age of 65 years old. When we reach this age, then we are allowed to draw out monthly sums of money which was deducted when we are working, a certain percentage goes into this fund and everyone is liable to contribute this amount of money and the employers too play a similar role and contributes a slightly lesser amount to this employee's total contribution to this combined fund.

When i began to realise this and finally the news sinking into me. It got me thinking of my retirement, although i'm only 35 years old and i still have the second half to complete before i draw out the money from this combined fund of mine kept by the government. From the look of it, i think that i may resort to migrating to another place to enjoy my retirement somewhere with my aged parents of course.

The place that i thought of migrating will have to be my nation's close neighbour - Malaysia. This place has a slow pace and i hope that by the time i reach that age, i could move over to the far ends of Malaysia. Have a lovely and white sand beach, grow a plot of vegetables, being self-sufficient, i will set up a homestay and with my expertise, it shouldn't be very hard to do that. I will set up a online site where visitors or consumers can come and view and book their homestay accommodations with me. Bringing my aged parents along with me will help me to ease the load of me and at the same time, my mum can help out with the cooking of dishes and food for our holiday makers staying at our place.

That was what i'm thinking in my head now and for a few days, this thought began growing inside me, i hope i can achieve that someday. My blogging friend peregrineonline is a avid traveler and she has been to Malaysia for umpteen times and from reading all her blogs, it makes me realise that Malaysia is most and very likely to be my retirement nest for me and my family.

Cheap Disney World Vacation Packages!

During my fair grounds, while i was attending to my many customers. They all wanted to book Disney packages and bring their whole family to both stay and enjoy themselves at Disneyland. But once i have calculated the price for their whole family, usually it will give them a slap on their faces as it could climb up to a few thousand dollars especially if they are a big family or bringing the whole family to enjoy the fun.

The good people at Orlando vacation.com has planned this out perfectly for you. For Cheap Disney World Vacation Packages, their offerings can be from 2days to 7days Orando Packages. From what i heard, they have partnered with the resorts/hotels/villas to buy down the ticket prices of the themeparks and packaged it up with your stay with them. Now isn't that a big bargain especially if you are planning to bring your whole family, its a bargain that you simply cannot miss! If the above planned packages does not suit your itinerary, then speak to their friendly receptionist and they will help you get the best deal in town.

Hotel Exercise!

Don't you love what this man is teaching and doing? I am now trying to build up my stamina and am training for my IPPT which is a standard fitness programme that all males have to pass in my country. Training was not easy coz i have lapse in my training and am training very hard to build up my stamina. Tomorrow will be my fitness test and i am crossing my fingers that i will pass and put this misery behind me coz i hate to exercise and sweat!

Ice Hotel!

When i was this video clip of a Ice Hotel in Norway, i was kinda interested to see what it is all about? I guess the feeling inside a ice hotel will be cold and nothing except cold. I have been to places in Asia where its very cold during the night and there was once that i even have to sleep inside my sleeping bag, put on a few layer of clothes before i tuck in and sleep that was all i have encountered as a traveler in a distant country. But never in Norway in a ice hotel. Should be fun, i should go and try it some day.

I was surprised...

We were invited to a co-worker's house which he called the "World of Paradise". He is quite proud of his house and i have posted some pictures at my JAMEO-TIPS blog that shows how his room is crowded with Coke memorabilia and cute items in almost every corner of his room. However i found this great find in his room which he proudly shows us all. It was a $10,000 note, not a counterfeit but real and legal tender. It was indeed a surprise for me to see such a note as it was my first time seeing a $10,000 note here at his house.

My Major Fair on 12 AUG 2007

It was a grand event as we started out on the opening of our main fair on the 12AUGUST2007. It was a pretty hectic day as all the travel consultants including myself, my other co-worker and our direct reporting boss was at the travel fair trying to recruit as many travelers to book our tour and free and easy packages. We had a huge success and we thank our partners, all our sales staff whom were there that day helping to recruit travelers.

During this big event, our partner in Travel Insurance was there to support us and gave huge discounts to travelers who were there booking their travels. It was a whooping 30% off the brochures for comprehensive travels around the region.

I was surfing the net and saw this site called Endsleigh.com. They basically provide all kind of insurance quotation and basically what attracts me most is that they have a pretty well comprehensive kind of selection of Travel Insurance for all kind of season travelers. Be it that you are organising a School Group Trip for your customers, Skiing Insurance and Backpacker Insurance, all these are behind their finger-tips.

As the caption says "travel insurance for career people", they meant business. Hop on down and get a quotation from them today!

Here is a little secret...

to share with all the bloggers out there, there is a wonderful site where you get paid to blog about products and services from advertisers and place a link back to them. Its that easy and simple to do. Once you have completed and written a post and placed a keyword that links back to the advertiser which is the requirement that is set before you.

You then submit it over to smorty and the team will review your post, they will check on your back link to make sure that it works. At times, it can be quite frustrating to write post and get rejected by the smorty team as it does not meet their requirement. But once you have sorted out the problem with the post, you can then submit it back to them and have it approved.

The posts that i wrote for smorty were around $5 dollars and above and it takes about a week for them to sent those money to my paypal account. This site is one i will recommend to all fellow bloggers - a place to get paid for blogging.

Hurray....

to this blog of mine. I submitted it to one of the Paid Review Website and it was approved after a two weeks period. I have submitted this blog before some time ago but was not successful as it did not meet their requirements. I began to steadily update this blog of mine with some other new event which i have reported earlier on in my blog.

Some time ago, i received a email and was informed that this blog was approved and met their requirements. I was given my first task to write on my first sponsored company called Martin Worldwide. I was really glad that it got approved and i hope from here i will earn extra pocket money from here. The problem is, i will have to think of something to update this blog as my job is always quite monotonous when i'm not traveling around.

So many kinds...

of media to reach out to the general public which is giving my Marketing Manager, a headache again. This is our main fair which is this coming sunday, a big and only event to close the year which has been my big boss main concern now. He has specifically ordered that all productive mediums to be used to anchor this event and he wants the whole of the country to know of this mega event which we will be holding soon.

Oh, by the way, i'm a travel agent by profession and my job in the company is more on business development. I will source around for the best itinerary around the whole wide world and packaged it up to sell to consumers. While i was surfing the web site, i saw this site called Martin Worldwide, they offer the best and most effective Mailing Lists around the region and i reckon that it should be productive on the many recommendations that have been given by consumers alike whom have tested their core service and product.

I will give this information to my Marketing Manager and see if this will relieve her headaches.

My roadshow...

It wasn't all that fun especially when there are limited spaces for us travel consultants to sit and assist our customers to book a tour. Because of the space constraint, i had to share my table with the ticketing department which they didn't mind at all. We had a long queue forming by 11am which was the official time for us to open our fair to the public. Members of the public were queuing and seats were given to those whom are queuing in the line. It was lucky that there weren't any complaints that the queue was long as all of us travel consultants were so busy that we didn't even have time to go for our toilet breaks and for our meal time as well. But over all, i guess my bosses should be happy with the results.

Now, we are starting to prepare for our main fair for this coming Sunday again.

Year-end busy starting again...

This year-end is going to be a busy quarter for me. Firstly, there are the endless travel fairs that i will be participating in. Now, there are lots of preparation work that we have to put into before a travel fair can materialised. My boss is also thinking of getting a chartered flight again to one of those beach destination near my country. At least now, i have some experience in chartered flights and hope that everything will go smoothly.
