Cuisine: Yum Cha

Highly anticipated first champions league match Milan vs Manchester United

A lot of focus was on David Beckham who was playing his first game against his old club after 7 years.

Bad thing was the main antenna at my place was damaged by strong winds and it seems like is snowing in Milan from the poor tv reception.

A very good thing was that Denise woke up with me to catch the match @ 6.30 in the morning and made me breakfast as well! Wooo… yum yum..

Ronaldinho scored the first goal after 3 minutes and after some poor defending Man Utd must be lucky that they are 3-0 down before the half hour mark. Man Utd struck back after with a fluke goal from Paul Scholes, but with a good set up. I reckon this is the first time that Denise actually glued her eyes on every pass all the way to the goal!

Came to office after and check the score to know that Man Utd has won 3-2 courtesy of 2 Rooney headers. Seedorf scored late to set up a hopeful trip to Old Trafford and Carrick got sent off for a 2^nd bookable offence.

Alls good. Well Done Red Devils.

from denise > account got invaded

i like my ah dear!! =)) cos he treats me the best... he loves me.. and he says im nice!! =))

$$Extra Cash$$

eftpos $200 out from woolies the other day and true to the bank's words, I've got 50 cents. first time ever that a bank actually gives you $$ for withdrawing money. the criteria here is to withdraw at least $200 before you get 50 cents. anything less than the amount, you don't get charge anything at all.

Even though the amount isnt that great and some may even think cheap skate, but a small amount shows the bank effort and why not, when somebody actually gives you money to withdraw your own money.

I still want to let everyone know how I like the different symbols representing the transactions. easily understandable when i'm log in and let you search through the transactions quickly.

no complains till now.. coolz. go Orange!

unneccesary is such a unnecessary word

a pretty enjoyable weekend.

rain all day from friday till sunday.

ate a lot. san churros, kansai japanese buffet, vietnamese cuisine and coffee and cakes @ Glebe.

House-hunting on Saturday. saw Amy in the morning with good impression once again.

Not the best weather, but able to view it from another perspective.

Letty got a sticky date pudding with a candle to celebrate Dniz's birthday. Early celebration cos she's leaving for Singapore on Tuesday and Bobz is here.

good weekend. need to get a few things settled.

stuffs to bring back to Singapore. Solicitor.

Alls good. Keep in control. and Control it.

Purchase and ATM Withdrawal

tried 2 facilities with my new ING Orange Everyday Account last week.

1. made a purchase using my key card and ING gave me $20 for my first purchase transaction. Down side of this is that I'm charge a small fee (20cents) for an international transaction which I have not come across before using my other cards. Another fee of a dollar is charged for paypal authorisation. This may not be part of ING but a fee required by Paypal.

2. Withdrew $200 from one of the ATMs and was told I need to pay a fee of $2. Went back online to check, ING immediately refunded the ATM fee as I withdrew more than $200. Very happy with that. Down side is I need to control my budget tighter now that I have cash in hand.

How good is that. I've got $20 making my first purchase and making my first deposit. I'll get another $20 for a direct debit transaction which is currently proving to be a pain in the arse. I've done the necessary documentation for my health fund and road tolls to change my account details. For one week, nothing has been updated. Very disappointed.

Anyway, I'll be getting $60 for opening the account and that equals to the 1 year of bank fees ($5 per month) I paid to Westpac.

Overall, fast in updating the transactions online and the description are very easy to understand with different symbols used to represent different transactions. Bonus $$ are always good!
