OKI Color Printer C3300
I have an OKI color printer. I need the refill for two colors - magneta and cyan.
I have to order the refill (powder) from OKI. It is expensive and takes a long time to come.
I am willing to try the power from other sources. Any suggestion on compatible powder that I can use?
For my next color printer, I will buy one that has a more available source of supply of the power or ink. Any suggestion?

Be educated about insurance
I meet with this situation a few times each week. The consumer send an e-mail to me, through my website, asking for my views about the life insurance policies that are being sold to them by an agent.
From the nature of the enquiry, I conclude that the consumer:
a) does not understand the product
b) did not read the benefit illustration
c) did not read the FAQ in my website or my financial planning book.
The consumer wanted me to spend time to analyse the policies that have been offered to them. I usually give this reply to the consumer:
a) read my FAQ and financial planning book
b) it is the duty of the agent to explain the product clearly to you, as the agent is earning a few thousand dollars in commission when you buy the product.
c) do not buy any financial product that is not clear to you - as you can give away a few hundred thousand dollars of your accumulated savings.
d) be wary of insurance agents and their half truths.
I advise consumers to make the effort to be educated through reading my FAQs, my financial planning book and attending the educational talks organised by FISCA. Do not rely on advice from other people, as some of them are untrustworthy and can cheat you. I do not have the time to analyse so many complicated policy plans that are introduced by the life insurance companies and their creative, highly paid experts.
Get ready to buy and read my new book, "Get value from your life insurance policy" which will be launched in January 2011.

Taxi fares in Kuala Lumpur - two tiers
I took a taxi from a hotel. The fares start at M$6. The journey cost M$14. I flagged a taxi from the road for teh return journey. The fare started at M$3. The return journey cost M$7. On both occasions, it was easy to get a taxi - no hassle (but it was on a Saturday afternoon).
I learned that there were two taxi fare system in Kuala Lumpur - the hotel taxis and the ordinary taxis. The taxis were marked clearly. A commuter can decide to go for the higher or the cheaper fare. This is similar to the choice of economy or business class fares on an airline. It is transparent and give choice to the commuters.
I find the fare systems in Singapore to be too complicated. Perhaps, we should adopt a system similar to Kuala Lumpur. Let us learn from our neighbor some of the time!
I wrote to the Straits Times Forum about suggestions to improve our taxi service. The letter was not published. I have posted it here.
