Coffee maker, machine, pot, pod, equipment, table, cup, mug, bean, caffeine, decaf, espresso is the reason I hang out at coffee shop and blog. Coffee House is fun.
If you’re that person that just had to have a cup of coffee everyday, then you might have one of those days that the coffee isn’t going along with you. Bad coffee sometimes just breaks your day in the morning and everything starts to become your enemies. Your work, your boss, your computer, your car, etc. are taking turns to give you a headache. I’m not trying to be…not sure what word to use but I’m just saying that a bad coffee in the morning could just ruin the whole day. Have you ever have the same experience before?
Another thing that I hate most is unable to have my favorite coffee. When you reach a certain point of coffee addiction, coffee takes the same position with beer. No matter what happens, you just got to have them. You will trade anything for just a cup of your favorite coffee, anything at all. Sometimes even your colleague may bribe you with just that cup of coffee. There are times when your coffee is out and you can’t refill it as it was sold out. Plus you have to wait for a week or two for them to stock up. This is the time I declare as red alert because many things might go wrong. How do you hold up without your coffee?
Do you want to be a fashion designer? Well, I think most of the girls out there love to do it. I often found a lot of personal blog or homepage with lots of self portrait pictures. Especially teenage girls tend to have at least one post one portrait. They seem to love it very much and a lot of them look very nice too. Here’s a site that they sure love it. StyleMob is a new community created for street fashion inspiration. You have the chance to DIY fashion, take a picture and post it up for other people that have the same interest to view. In stead of just follow the trend of the fashion, you might be able to start the trend yourself. For those that are into fashion, students that are studying fashion and fashion designer, this is a good place for you to hang around as you don’t have to travel the world to see different style of fashion. This site will bring the world of fashion to your room. Surely is a place to get lots of ideas. Easy and simple, all you need to do is post like this…
This is something new for me, Apsense.com – a free business social network where people get paid to come together to share their business. If you blog about your business, then this might suits you. I just took a quick glance through it and there are few things that really caught my attention.
The first thing is that they have a flash presentation on how to build your own private social network. A lot of hard work and time to made this but this really helps the user to understand faster and easier.
The second thing is that they provide a free Apsense Express(APX) that allow us to broadcast messages. This is an alternative email services just for this business purposes. This is nice as you can separate your personal email service with business email services. Traditional email services might not be that suitable for business because some mails might get filtered.
Apsense.com also provide an advance web application to build your own business website and a network building system that connects thousands of business individual. Of cause there’re some upgrades or extra services that you need to pay in order to use them. After all Apsense.com are in the money making business. Judging form the 2 services provided above, they really put themselves at our position and try to make it easier and better. Well, this might not suit everybody but it sure has my thumbs up.
Not a very good looking blog for a title Linky Love. A pair of pink cars at the upper right corner sure makes some attraction. Lots of links and RSS can be seen at both side of the blog. Well, that’ generally my first impression on the blog. Linky Love is a blog that helps others to rank higher on the internet and make money online. There are a lot of blogs that have the same topic. Generally if you’re looking for a guide or someone that could give you a hand on this category, it will be wise not to go for the top guys. They might not have time for you. Look for those that are new and could answer you. For that, Linky Love is one of your choices.
It was like a couple of years ago around end of 2005 that I was introduced to this Swisscash investment. It is an investment that brings you 25% on your principal monthly. One of my friends told me about this and wanted me to check on it before he dropped his money into it. I did a detail check on it and found that a lot of the information posted on their website is full of question marks. If you do a search about Swisscash on Google and dig deep about it you’ll get what I mean. I don’t wanna post the facts here because you can get it easily when you do a quick search on it. I’ll just put up some links for your reference if you need more detail info about it.
The Swisscash investment really was hot in Malaysia, so hot that even the local TV network had a piece of it too. There was even a time that I heard the name Swisscash when ever I have my favorite coffee in the coffee shop. People are talking all about it. I even saw a car with large sticker with “Swisscash” on it.
Ok now, back to the serious question. Is Swisscah a HYIP or a scam investment? Well, if you do the calculation of 25% return, it sure is too good to be true. Plus all the facts mention above, no doubt that there is something fishy about it. Despite all these, one important fact that makes it sounds real. That is people are getting their monthly payment on time and never miss a payout.
I call up my friend and explain all I found and guess what he said.
“I could spare the $100 dollars and take the risk of a high return. If the moneys not going in here, it will be going into the lottery. Either way, it’s fine for me as long as I have the chance to earn more money. “
Yes, he did put his $100 dollars into the investment and did earn himself some money. To him, this is just the same as other investment like stock exchange, bank savings, mutual funds and insurance. Losing money here is just the same as losing money in the stock market. There are only 2 things that he consider, win or lose. If he wins, then he’ll get his money back double or triple. If he loses, it will just be another unlucky day to hit the lottery.
If you ask how I think of it…A lot of things go through my mind, things like...Is this legal? Can this kind of investment last long enough for me to get back my money? Will I be in directly hurting somebody? Will I get into trouble if the government declares it as scam or illegal activities? What if I get my money back but not the people I introduce? If you think like me, then it will be better not to join the game.
Lately it seems that this game has reached the end of it and having some bad news or trouble around it. The website is down and some investigation about it has been carried out. Will this be the end of Swisscash? Maybe, maybe not or maybe it will return with a different name and style but serve the same purpose. We all learned that history often repeat itself. When there is desire, there is a will. History does repeat itself, it just happened in a different place, different time.

"Everyday Weekender is a fun site that talks about everything from cottage life to food. If you review his blog, he’ll link to it and help increase your page rank!
Ohh, and he’ll also teach you a thing or two about cooking a juicy steak."
That’s generally all about the blog that has a PR5 in Google ranking. I sure really want to know the secret behind it. How long do you need to work on a blog to get to Google Page Rank 5? That’s something that we all need to learn about. If you check out Everyday Weekender, you’ll see that it’s just a simple blog that talks about everything. Yes, it was mentioned above but what I’m trying to say is that even a general blog can be rank well. You don’t have to pick a specific topic to get to that position. Especially if you’re new to blogging it will be a good idea to just blog for anything that comes through your mind. Keep posting everyday and check out other blogs. Eventually you’ll learn and maybe you’ll find one topic that you’ll love to blog about.
I always worried about traffic even in my dream. When I get up in the morning, I worried about the traffic condition to the office. When I get off work, I worried about the traffic on the way back. I don’t want to much traffic on the road so that I could drive smoothly. When I turn on my PC, I worried that there isn’t much traffic to my blog. I want as much traffic as possible so that I could earn a bit of extra money.
Then this morning 2 Genies appear to me and offer me some help. I was very surprise and excited. Without any hesitation I agreed to accept their help. They are willing to give me a magic carpet to avoid the traffic on the road and use their magic to increase my blog traffic. They also grant me 1 special wish. In return they only ask that I follow the rules below and introduce 5 of my friends to them. I was very curios about the terms that they made. They seem to know what I think and said “We just want to make friends, lots and lots of friends”…

I’m really bad in programming. I always spend a lot of time just by position a picture or a sentence. What I did is I make some changes, save then reload the page to see if the out come is what I want. I often try and error this way to modified my blog. Now that is really time consuming and sometimes can be very frustrating. There are a lot of tricks that we always use when try to modified our blog or webpage. The second thing is I always have problems of remembering these codes. That is why I choose blogger for my blog because I’m able to cut and paste, click and drag the page element. That helps a lot but still my blog still need a bit of touch up. Until today I still did not do the touch up because my touch up is “a touch to bring down the whole blog”. It’s like pressing the explosion button and the whole building just collapse to the ground.
HTML playground really caught my attention. I really have hard time learning Dreamweaver but this site makes me feel easy. I can just get the code that I want to use, learn it, test it and apply it. Easy and fast is what I want. It might not seem to be a complete application but at least it’s a good start for me.
P/S: I get to apply the H2 header and made the object or sentence at the center position.
This is a rare site that pays you to just place a link to your site. I did try it before and it does pay. The payment is made by Paypal, so you’ll need to get one account. The price of placing the link is very much depends on your blogs popularity, page rank and age. This site is looking for blogs and site that willing to sell a spot at their space. Pretty much of a site that looking for blogs to advertise. You can try sending your blogs URL to them and check out the offer they give you. If you’re not satisfied with the offer then you can just reject them. Try it, who knows you might get a good offer. After all you have nothing to lose. If you want to see how the link looks like if you accept the offer, scroll down my blog till the very end. It’s just a short sentence of link.
I often stumble around the question of “Is it better to do fulltime Blogging then part time?” A lot of the big guy out there really is earning a good amount of money doing fulltime blogging. Now that’s a fact that we know well. So can we follow their steps by becoming a fulltime blogger? I think that’s the question that we have to think it over. One basic rule about blogging is that can we able to post consistently. That’s the output and to be able to do that we need input. This means that we need to find something to write each time. To get more input we need to expose ourselves to a lot of things. Then only we have something to write about. Once we become fulltime in blogging, most of our time will be on the internet. Plus it’s a path that we walk alone. Most of the interaction will be online using email, messenger or phone. Basically it’s a lone ranger. In order to get more inspiration, it’s better to go out and have more social activities. All these experiences will then be translated into the blog. This is considered a healthy life style of a full time blogger.
As a part time blogger, things are pretty much easier. Why? Because you still have your daily job and you don’t have to worry about lunch or dinner. At least you have a monthly income. You might not be able to earn much at the beginning as you don’t have much time to maintain your blog but there are still some benefits. One thing for sure you don’t have to worry about input. Your daily works which enable you to interact with different people sure will give you a lot of topic. Plus your work and company activities also add up some topics too. That’s certainly resource full enough to give you something to write. There is nothing easier then to blog about your own experience.
Choosing between fulltime or part time blogger also relate much to the topic of your blog. If you’re writing about programming, Google, e-book, webpage or things that related to internet and can be found by just surfing the net then it’s good to go fulltime. As this gives you more time to dig into the net. If you’re writing a personal blog, travel, photo, technology then you might want to consider staying part time. Especially if you’re writing a personal blog then you definitely need a daily job. Blogging about yourselves is just mainly blogging about your experience. If you have a busy and wonderful life then you’ll definitely have a great story to tell, and people love to read it.
Finally there is a widget to translate our blog into several languages. Well it might not be that perfect but at least we get to understand it. Of cause there are still a lot of rooms to be improve, better then don't have it at all. You can test it out as I have install it to my blog. I myself knows a few language. I had to study 3 languages during high school and that is a must. The 3 languages are Chinese, Malay and English. At home I learned Hokkian and Cantonese unofficially or informally. That is I learn from my parents and TVs. When I studied in US as a college student I took Japanese for interest. I'm not very good at any of the languages but at least I can communicate using them. The major usage of a language is to be able to communicate with each other. You don't have to be an expert in it to do it. As long as you can tell others what you have in mind then that's good enough. When we think of it that way then it becomes easy to learn other language. Well, that's what I think when I learn Japaneses.
I just took this picture using my parent's camera. This picture of the moon is taken using BenQ Digital Camera C640. I'm not really good at using a camera. I never really learn to use it. Perhaps it's not a bad idea to start learning as its kind of fun. Life is too short as there are so much more to learn. The more we learn, the more we realize that a lot of things we don't know. Guess what we can do is just keep on learning as much as possible. 31st August 2007 is Malaysia 50 years Independence Day celebration. Malaysia gain independence in 1957 and since then it's already 50 years. The government is planning a big celebration this year. I think the main event will be in Kuala Lumpur, but I'm sure my home town will be celebrating as well. I'll try to take some pictures on that day and post it up after the event. So be sure to check it out.
"Forrest Gump" - I want to live a stupid but wonderful life. "The Truman Show" - I want to break free from a normal life. "Good Will Hunting" - I want to do what I love instead of what I want.
"We are merely ordinary Penangites. We take this opportunity to create a television culture that is fluid, diverse, exciting and beautiful. We record and host videos of real people that appear over this website."
A new website of video advertising created by the Penang locals. Interesting indeed to promote Penang–Malaysia and a good way too. Instead of just saying or writing it out with beautiful explanation, watching it directly make things more clear and understandable. A video is worth a thousand words. Especially when it involves parties of different culture and religion. I think this just open up another market and business opportunities. This includes international business too. It might be new but it sure has a huge business potential. Even though it is still focus on Penang state but still people around the world have the chance to watch it. The world has a chance to watch closely the culture and lifestyle of Malaysia people. It started out from Penang and I hope that each state will end up having their video advertising too.
For those who interested to know more details please kindly contact:
When you are having your favorite coffee, what type of food do you choose to go along with it? Let’s see what type of food that people have when they are enjoying their coffee…
1)Coffee + cookies
2)Coffee + chocolate
3)Coffee + cakes
4)Coffee + nuts
5)Coffee + bread
6)Coffee + biscuits
7)Coffee + donuts
8)Coffee + muffin
So which do you prefer most? For me, definitely is Youtiao (油条). It’s a deep fried golden brown strip of dough in Chinese cuisine. Normally have it in the morning. Here’s how we eat them. Dip it in the coffee, stir a little bit to let the coffee went right into it. Then put it in your mouth with lots of coffee in it. The mixture of Youtiao (油条) and coffee taste really good. Almost forgot, it has to go with black coffee. If you have a chance to go china or china town around your place, look for it and try it out.
OK, I know this makes me sound like your parents but still I just got to say this, “Back up your blog or site…” A lot of people did not realize that accidents do happen. No matter how good or secure the hosting provider is, there’s still the possibility of server crash issue. All it took is just one bad day where everything just went wrong. I’m sure most of you had that experience before. It would be wise to back up your blog before you loss it. For those people that use the free hosting service like me, you might want to back up your blog just in case it does crashes. In most cases, what really happened is that when ever these free hosting services move their server, upgrade or make a change in their server, chances are your blog might get loss some where during the process. Seriously, some of my friends did lost their 2 year old blog just like that. Since we’re using a free blog hosting services, mind as well look for a free back up services. This is where I found this site – BlogBackupOnline. It’s free and allowed up to 50mb of storage. Easy to use and able to back up your blog daily automatically. It also enables you to export your blog too. This will make it more convenience if you want to more your blog to other platform, third party server or home hard disc. Check it out…
I still remember these words "Help me help you..." from the movie Jerry Maguire. I think most of us that blog loves to have tons of traffic. I will be very happy if I got at least thousands of visitors each day. The question is how do I do that? From what I know is that we need to make our blog rank high at the search engine so that your blog can be easily expose to others. One way to do that is to built lots of back link. Well that is easy to say then done. To make things simple and easy, why not just think how to attract more people to your blog. One way I found to very effective is to give out free stuff. I did encounter a lot of blogs that give out cash or prizes, and then I found this blog Daily Webbers. Daily Webbers is holding a Free Giveaway contest to all bloggers. The prize is a free domain name and 1 year hosting account. Very attractive indeed for those bloggers that is using the free hosting services. I was intend to find some examples so that I could make my own giving out free stuff, instead I'm participating it. Well, I think you don't have to do it yourself all the time. Participating in others contest also might in fact brings you some traffic. Saves you a lot of time and energy. Besides we need to support each other to stay in the game. You don't want to have 2~3 people participating when your having your own contest. We need to learn to give and take, thus "Help you help me...". Anyway, who knows you might be the winner. So go ahead and click here.
We all know how important getting link backs is and with this chain, you can get the ball rolling! You don’t have to be an established blogger to take part in this chain.Here are the rules: 1. Copy this post from the point where it says “Start Copy Here” to the point where it says “End Copy Here” 2. Add yourself and 5 of your favorite bloggers to the end of the list. 3. Post this on your blog
This is one of the post that I found from Socrates Rudy's blog. It's a very good idea as this can keep on rolling and rolling. A simple idea but works really good. Sometimes we just make things to difficult to ourself. If we think carefully, a lot of stuff can be done simple and easy.
Mylot is a website for users to discuss, blog, post photos, news and other activities. It's just like a community where people get together and interact, something close to friendster and myspace. Mylot become popular very fast around the net because you can earn a bit of cash by just starting a discussion, give comment and post up photos. Mylot also offers referral program to let you earn more. The percentage of earning was quite high at the beginning. This encourages a lot of people to sign up very fast. Members sign up hit 10 thousand in just a few months. This number hits 105213 as I'm writing this post. In order to survive in the competitive world of internet, traffic is the main issue. Once you get that kind of traffic, for sure the website will be around for a few more years. So, what do we - users benefits from this? Imagine if you are one of the first 500 people that sign up Mylot and you have referred around 1000 people. You might enjoy some cash in each month and still your group will be growing. You might say that this might be too good to be true, but it is that true. The question is how long will this be continue. We did see that the payment has been reducing after the number of member has increase. But why not take the opportunity to earn as much as you can. After all, you just need to post some discussion and photos.
We often seen a lot of website saying that "Earn $200 per day" or getting rich through signing up with their website. The truth is, it's not that simple and it always turn out that you need to pay first before you could earn. Worst part is that most of them are just scam. Does that mean there isn't any way that we can earn money through the net. Sure there is, you just need to know where to find it. Of cause you still need to work hard to earn it. The good news is that you have the flexibility to do it when ever you want. Check out the website below, you might not earn a lot but it sure is a good way to earn some extra cash. Best of all it might be the things that you've done daily or your hobby.
1) Pay Per Post This is the best choice for bloggers. Advertiser pay bloggers to write reviews on their product or website. If you have a blog that have more then 100 viewers a day, then this suits you. Make full use of the blog that you already have, who knows one day you might just make a living by just blogging.
2) Fotolia If you like to take photo and you have a bunch of collection, then you might consider to sell your work. You may even sell you royalty. This may look simple, just get yourself a good expensive camera and start shooting. It's easy to take picture but you still need to do some homework before people are interested in your photos. Only good quality and market demanded photos will sell. If you're already having fun with camera for more then 2 years, i think this will not be a problem.
This is a place to market you own expertise as a freelancer. No matter if you're a writer, programmer, website designer, illustrator, graphic designer, translator, software user or even a students, if you can get the job done and at a reasonable price then you might earn some cash here. Payment are done by each project and you have to bid to get the job. If you have a good reputation then customer might just directly request your services.
This is a place for music lovers. You can sell you music here. It's a cheapest way to become a super star. All you have to do is find 5000 people that believe in you and says your music good. Then you'll have the chance to record your songs in the state-of-the-art studio. Or you can become a believer by supporting the artist of you choice and help raise $50000. Then you can earn yourself the right to sell the CD at your home address. You can also open up a shop at SellaBand and sell the related product from your artist.
There are still a lot of website that let you earn a bit of extra money. You'll just have to find them. Finally there is also a popular way to earn some extra money, that is by taking some surveys. This is more suitable if you're living in US or UK but you might just try it out. It's free any way. Here's the website if you're interested - YouGov.

“I want someone to love me as much as I love them.”
Good Love Quote by Ashlee Mobley
And so…How do you love me and how do I love you? How to love you? How to love me?
Love Him/Her… Taking care of her/his feelings and make him/her happy always. You worry about everything and anything about him/her. Think and dream about him/her. He/She is the center of your world.
“Love is when you shed a tear and still want him, it's when he ignores you and you still love him, it's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.”
Love Me… Share your feelings and dreams. Let him/her feels what you felt. Inspire him/her with your passion towards work, interest and love. He/She worries about you of anything and everything. He/She thinks and dreams about you. They feel happy when close to you. You are the center of his/her world.
“I love you not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out.” ~Roy Croft quotes
So, do you understand what love is? ...maybe, maybe not…
