Journey of Life

In my recent post, I have been introducing the online printing service - eoe. Oh well, I must admit that they do what they say. By introducing and writing about them, I get to have two 8R print our deliver right to my doorstep at zero cost. Wow!! That's unbelievably too good to be true. Trust me that this is not another scam of sweet promises. On June 23rd, I've received an email from them saying my 8R photo will be deliver to me and I should received them within 3 working days. Yesterday evening, a parcel came..YAHOOOOOOOO!!!! I must say that eoe is very patience and thorough. In protecting the picture and frame, they have wrapped it so nicely. It takes me 15 minutes to open up. So if you are concern on damage of parcel on delivery, FEAR NOT!! Tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....

Yeah! My google letter is here. It is actually a letter to activate my accounts as the amount had already reach $10. I love to receive letters. It trills me more to receive this letter. Hahahaha!!! On the other hand, I made a simple calculation of how much I can earn per month via adsense. Well, with the average amount earn per month, I can only made my first withdrawal in 1.5 years time! Hahaha… I’m not sure if that’s good news or bad news. Any tips to boost up my adsense earning?

Last week, when I have my routine weekly pasar malam schedule, there is one stall that captures me. It's not any stall selling veggies or meats or fish. It's a stall selling fake gold ring and fake gold necklace. Some of you might be wondering why am I attracted to the fake gold ring. Well, it's because I know from what item did they use to transform the ring! At the tables, the owner display all sorts of rings and necklace, ranging from babies size to matured males ring size. At the other side, they put all the RM1 coins. Years ago, M'sia government had obsoleted the used of RM1 coins. I guess there are some individuals that had think of a way to fully utilize the use of these coins. Indeed, i have to admit, they are creative! I'm curious whether these rings would be able to last long. So, bought myself 1 piece of the ring with the words "Love". Anyone interested? Well, just try your luck at the MJC Batu Kawah Pasar Malam, every Thursday & Friday.

When I'm a kid, I remember joining the queue to open up an account of ASW 2020. It is actually from my accumulation of 'ang pau' money. While watching news the other nights, one of the topics that interest me is the ASW 2020. Well, I receive a cheque in between RM50-RM100 yearly, depending on the profit gain. My share is only RM600. Previously, they do not let people to increase the share amount. I'm wondering if I should increase or not... One opinion that I get is quite negative. It is more on why are ASNB opening up the ASW 2020 on the 27th of April 2009. Not going to publish the comments in my blog as the comments are more into political. When I come to office today, my HR had sent out a memo regarding the ASNB services. Indirectly, this can be one type of yearly income but to depend on it, I would starve to death. For those who wants to know more information, you can go to the website www.asnb.com.my or www.kwsp.gov.my. According to the resources that I get, this i...

Finally my cheque is here!! Yeah, I’m so happy when I receive this envelope from New York . Well, I have no relatives or friends in New York that is close enough to send me a letter or anything like this, so right before I opened them, I knew it is from Google Adsense. As mention previously, I had close my old adsense account simply because of the payee name is not as per my I.C. I did not use my full name. As I am living in Malaysia , I couldn’t just change the payee name but I had to close the account and reopen new one. When I opt to close the previous account, I can’t bring forward the amount from the old account into new account. Luckily, the amount in the old accounts is more than $10. Hehehehe… Although the amount isn’t enough even to cover my monthly study loan payment, but at least this would means that I have SOME saving for this month instead of zero. Yahooo!!!!! On another thought, I don't think I can bank in this cheque, because of the payee name! Argghhhh.....

Huhuhu... I'm officially broke this month! 4 days compulsory unpaid leave simply means 15% pay cut. Good thing I do not get tax after the pay cut. Bad thing is I'm broke!!! This month is a real headache for me: 1. Car loan - RM500++ 2. PTPTN loan - RM300 3. Household - RM200 4. Insurance & Road tax - RM600 5. Annual injection for my dog - RM100 (hopefully) 6. Income tax 2008 - RM120 I have to postponed my car servicing to May'09. I wonder if my existing pay can support me with all this huge expenses. Can anyone gives me advice what I can reduce so that I can survive this month? Apart from this, I realize that I need to buy some household needed items such as shampoos, conditioner, facial cleanser........ Argghhh, better don't want to think about it.. Maybe I should just look out from the window and day dreaming for a while instead of worrying about $$.. That's what my dog do when she is bored..

Yeah, finally I've re-setup everything in my adsense : new login, new email, new payee name and also start all over again from $0. Ouch! I only realize that I have made quite a big mistake during the initial set up of adsense. I did not put my full name as payee name. Only realize this when I'm thinking of switching the payment method in the express payment (only took 1 day vs 30 days of previous payment methods). Then, when I did some googling search, it turns out that I need to close the account and not able to change the payee name because I'm living in M'sia. Huh! So, did this, and waited for the confirmation of the account to be close. Got the email on Monday and quickly I tried to create another account using the same emails. It turns out, I cannot use the same email anymore. So off I go using another email. Activated the account on Tuesday and I need to wait for verification of my account. Finally, on Thurs, the account is verified and I can use Adsense once agai...

Been haunting with curiousity for days on the meaning of buffered earning, I did a little bit of research. For those who is as curious as me, I think you must be wondering what is that. Well, when I go through it, it turns out to be another way where you can earn from Nuffnang, that is, via MCPM (metered CMP) campaigns earning. It is actually means an existing advertiser would buy a set of unique visitors from my blog in which their advertisement would be publish into my blog for a period of time. The earning is categorized as buffered earning until the time ends. After that, all the earning during this period will be credited into my current earning. WOW!! Does this means someone actually bought to place their ads on my blog? Cool!!! I love the sound of it. Anyone had any idea of other earning ways? As for advertiser, I'm cool with Nuffnang & Adsense.. yeah...

What I do today? Some of you might realize that my adsense is gone from the blog. Well, it's because I had to close my account in adsense just because of I need to change Payee Name!!! Hhmmppffff.... All for my own stupidity that I just put the payee name as the first two name as per my I.C ignoring my chinese name. I seldom use my chinese name and I don't know that it is so important for cheques. Huhuhu.... Since I'm living in the multi culture country that makes the adsense edit button on payee name not visible, I had to use the old fashion ways of doing the whole thing: 1. Complete the cancellation form. 2. We will close your current account. 3. When you receive notification that your account has been closed, submit a new application using your new payee name. 4. Once your application is approved, replace the existing ad code on your pages with code generated from your new account. All this for the sake of changing my payee name!!! Can anyone tell me what will happen to ...

As I'm on half day yesterday, I didn't heard when our company big boss mentioning about the 'shutdown'. Like what mention in SecretGarden's blog, shutdown for maintenance is a very common thing in semiconductor. However, it is not common when ever semicon start to have this tactic of shutdown for maintenance. When I got to my office, I heard that the shutdown would be a week. This means indirectly, we are to take 1 wks leave? I also don't know but most probably it will be force leave? Well, then again, when discussing about this with a friend of mine, she mention that her company in Penang is having 2 wks maintenance shutdown end of Dec'08. Can I consider myself as lucky since my company is only one week? Well, good thing also that the shutdown MIGHT probably be some where near to Chinese New Year. What is happening around the globe? Why is all the company either declaring bancruptcy or just collapse or are force to lay off the people? Being a self-employed,...

I started to learn about serious blogging, getting more into blogging and also earning money with blogs. Recently, there are a lot of rumors getting around my company here that makes me feel I cannot 100% depend on my job to feed my stomach. So, I started with the ideas to get blogging into a partime money making. Therefore, I learn about adsense, advertlets, nuffnangs. Recently, I started to learn and know the term "Page ranking", Ex-links, referral ink, blog traffic, etc... I realize, when I do more blog hoping, my adsense increase more than expected. If I don't, the adsense is lower or I can say none at all. Page Rank I come across this website, where we can check our PR( Page Rank, not public relation!). Suprisingly, my dull blog has the page rank of 3 out of 10!! Then, when I checked on the page rank for the super well known famous blogger KennySia.com , he too, have the page rank of 3! Of course, our KuchingBloggers.com has a higher PR. Ex-Links Normally, seri...

Yesterday I read an article in Bloomberg saying that AUD has dropped extremely bad this time compared to the past few years. Well, I checked the current rate for today. It drops for almost 0.20 cents if compared to my previous posting! Then I checked on the news in Yahoo and Bloomberg, it is predicted that it will drops further, up to 55 cents comparison with USD. Hhmm.... I'm waiting for 1.9 ....... P/S: Playing money thingy is not safe!! Don't take my posting as for real as I'm a newbies here!!!

I got this article from a friend .. It is a very meaningful article that tells us to stay humble no matter how rich we are. If we don't cherish what we got, it will go away one day. God gave us fortune not for us to waste it but for us to help each other and to stay low. Most people, when they got rich, they forgotten their root, which is a very bad example of life. Rich doesn't mean you are king. We will never be a king as the greatest king is our HIM who sees us from the sky.... Here it goes...... Let's learn from this ............ A Blog Post by Singapore 's Youngest Millionaire By Adam Khoo In Money | Some of you may already know that I travel around the region pretty frequently, having to visit and conduct seminars at my offices in Malaysia , Indonesia , Thailand and Suzhou (China). I am in the airport almost every other week so I get to bump into many people who have attended my seminars or have read my books. Recently, someone came up to me on a p...

Lately, there are a lot of uncertainties in our world financial stability. Take for example, Australian money. I have put my focus in checking on AUD performance for few days. There is some news saying that the exchange rate for AUD will reduce again in the next 5 months. As of the exchange would drop to how much, that is very uncertain. Some says AUD will drop 50 cents further. However looking at the trend, it seems to be going up. As of 20th Oct, AUD-MYR is 2.447 , compared with Sep'08, reaching 2.9 exchange rate. I'm thinking of small investment into this money thingy and is still very new with the research. But, taking this as a step into another part time income, here are some of my thoughts about AUD-MYR. Let say, I took out RM1000 into this investment. If I am to purchase the AUD based on the currency stated, in 20th Oct, it would means, I am to get ~AUD 408. OK.. Let's say in 1/2 years from now, the rate rise up to the normal as per Sep'08, which is 2.9. By exch...

Not long ago, I have Advertlets and Nuffnangs. However, I have removed my nuffnangs advertisement when it didn't generate any revenue at all.. I read super many forums that mentions the comparison of nuffnang and advertlets. It seems to me that most people is complimenting on Nuffnangs.. Hhhmmmm... I guess it's time for me to add my Nuffnangs back on track and let it there for few months before I start to judge anything ...However, there is also a remarks from some bloggers saying that Nuffnang cannot be placed together with Advertlets. But, I have also seen many bloggers that have both Advertlets and Nuffnang together, which is contradicting with another blogger.. Hhmmm..... Anyone, any advise how to generate more revenue? I need some advice!!
