McAfee on Secure URL Shortener

Recognized this logo? That’s one of the popular antivirus programs McAfee. It seems that McAfee has a service call McAf.ee Secure URL Shortener. The website is still in Beta progress but you are still able to create a short URL from the website. I think the purpose of this website is to create URL shortener which is safe to use. Perhaps there are just too many people using URL shortener to promote website that contains virus. Although McAf.ee Secure URL Shortener is a free service, all URL crated will carry a frame which display McAfee. Given that this is a free service which gives safety URL, a small advertisement display in the frame is a fair trade.

Extra Double Shot Strong Coffee for the Night

When I’m rushing for my work later at night, coffee is all I want for company. It helps me awake and focus on my work. No doubt extra strong coffee will be good. Whenever I’m going through this situation, my parents will start calling me an owl, an owl with lots of coffee.

Vacuum Coffee Maker and the Coffee

According to Wikipedia the free encyclopedia online, “A vacuum coffee maker brews coffee using two chambers where vapor pressure and vacuum produce coffee which is clean, crisp, rich and smooth compared to other brewing method.” Is this really true? I love coffee. I search for a good cup of coffee where ever I go. A $10 cup of coffee or a $2 cup of coffee, it doesn’t matter as long as it tastes good. Honestly I don’t think a good cup of coffee is determined by the price. Some coffee can taste as bad even at a high price. A good cup of coffee can also be found right at any coffee house as long as all the condition of brewing good coffee met. So what’s so special about coffee that brews from a vacuum coffee maker? I think it also call Siphon coffee. I never try it before and I’m hoping to find a coffee shop that makes Siphon coffee. If you’re a coffee lover and have tried Siphon coffee, please suggest your favorite coffee shop so that I can pay a visit. It will be nice if such a coffee shop is available in Singapore.

P/S: Once I’ve experience and get a taste of Siphon coffee, I’ll let you know if it’s worth all the effort or not. As a coffee lover, definitely have to try our Siphon coffee.

Protect yourself when going for a job interview

When we go for a job interview, we tend to have a mindset to do whatever it takes to get the job interview success. Especially when we desperately need the job to cover debts and feed the family, we’ll say yes and take up any challenge. If you’re looking for a job and it’s the first time that you’re going for a job interview, you need to read this. According to an article from Yahoo Finance title “8 things employers aren’t allowed to ask you”, there are questions that consider personal and have nothing to do with the job. Below is the list of 8 questions.

1. How old are you?
2. Are you married?
3. Are you a US citizen?
4. Do you have any disabilities?
5. Do you take drugs, smoke or drink?
6. What religion do you practice?
7. What is your race?
8. Are you pregnant?

We know that employers want to know if our personal life affected our work performance or has a negative impact to our work. But still that’s not the reason to reject employment. We have to know our rights as an employee. Discrimination often took place all around us. Sadly not all cases are reported.

P/S: Although those are question that employers shouldn’t ask, you’ll find that many of them still ask. If they do, it’s better to find out why the question is asked. Sometimes it might just for the good intention for the employees’ health and benefits. At the end of the day, you’re not just trying to get a job but a working environment that suits you. It’s for your own sake.

How Much Salary Should You get for your Job?

Economic is down, market is unpredictable and companies are tighten budget. For most people, it is considered to be good or lucky to be able to keep their current job. No doubt there is a big fluctuation of jobs around the world. Some jobs that used to be hot and highly demanded might not be as attractive as it used to be. Lots of new jobs and positions are on the rise depending on the location and market. There are lots of changes took place currently. One thing for sure, we learn that there is no absolute stable or safe jobs that we can work forever. Depending on the situation and market change, certain jobs can be outdated or lost in just a short period of time. In order to counter for the changes, we as an employee must keep on learning and update ourselves to cater for the change of work tasks. Relaying on just one single skill might just be too risky. The most common example that we experience is that careers we used to dream of when we were kids might not be as demanded as it used to be right after we graduated. Some jobs are just good and demanded only for a certain period of time.

    Given the situation job market right now, is it possible for us to ask for high salary? I suppose it depends on facts like your education level, company size, experience, location and the job market. If you’re trying to get the best deal of salary offered by company, perhaps you might want to check out this article call “Salary Secrets Your Employer Doesn’t Want You to Know”.  According to the article, there are certain points that you need to take note if you want to get a higher salary.

Employers don’t always offer a fair salary.
Well, I don’t think the word fair existed in employee’s dictionary when it comes to the issue of salary. There are 3 words that employees categorize the amount of salary given. They are “low”, “High” and “Enough to survive”. Obviously employees will only choose “High” or “Enough to survive”. Besides only employers mention the word fair salary, didn’t you realize?

You can negotiate your salary in a tight job market.
This depends on your boss and the company. As long as the company can afford it and you’re good in your job, there’s no reason why you can’t negotiate your salary. Besides the worst thing that you’ll get is just the word “Sorry” or “No”. After that just get back to work and wait for another right time to bring out the same topic again.

New hires sometimes earn more than long term employees.
I think this is the reason why employees are advice not to discuss their salary among each other.

Your performance doesn’t decide your pay
Well, I think employers will make you think it does but it’s not. As for all other reasons and factors which employers give to justified your salary, it’s still considering an excuse. The only way a company can maximize profits is minimize salary payout. So the only thing or shall I say the only person that decide your pay is your boss or the company. It’s just the matter of willingness.

    At the end of the day everything is business even between employer and employee. Employee is selling service and their time. Employer is buying services and work force. You need to be a good negotiator if you want a higher salary. Strictly speaking we are not working for company. We are actually working for ourselves.

Healthy Beverage other then Coffee

Coffee is my favorite, especially black coffee. As we all need to drink lots of water every day, coffee might not always my only choice. Having 1~2 cups of coffee per day is just nice. 6~7 cups of coffee per day is just too much. As we need to drink at least 6~7 cups of water per day, we can try other beverage besides coffee or just plain water. According to an article from Yahoo Health Title: Tired of Water? Read This!, 7 healthy beverages are introduce other then coffee.

• Orange Juice – guards against heart disease.
• Chamomile tea – keeps you calm.
• Cranberry juice – prevent gum disease and urinary tract infections.
• Chocolate milk – keeps abs flat.
• Green tea – keeps weight steady.
• Tomato Juice – lower cancer risk.
• Black tea – helps fend off skin cancer.

Although I’m not so convincing with the results claim but those are definitely healthy beverages. Besides having just coffee and plain water, we could try to include the above beverages into our daily life. Take me as an example, I drink a cup of plain water immediately right after wake up. That’s to flush off things and cleans up my internals. My second cup of drinks will definitely coffee. That’s to wake me up and starts my engine for work. Once I finish my coffee, I’ll go for a cup of green tea right before lunch. I like the smooth and comfortable feeling of green tea because it keeps me away from coughing. During lunch I will either go for orange juice or another cup of coffee depending on my condition. Well, most of the time I’ll go for coffee if I have lots of work and I’m feeling a bit sleepy or tired. Afternoon tea time definitely will go for a cup of black tea. That’s suitable to prepare myself for any food for dinner. As for dinner, a cup of plain water is always my choice. Right before bed time I might consider a cup of chocolate milk. It helps fill up the gap when I’m having too little during dinner time.

    That’s basically how I enjoy my 7 cups of beverages. Although I did not cover all 7 healthy beverages listed above, but I coved 4 and that’s good enough. Once I’m getting bored with the drinks, I can switch to chamomile tea, cranberry juice and tomato juice. Perhaps not tomato juice as I don’t quite like tomato. What’s your 7 cups of drinks daily like?

A Good Taste of Coffee at The Beach Hospital

Lately I have been running The Beach Hospital in Ipoh frequently because of my parents. Although it's not a big deal as it's just some simple check up and regular observation, but still it really does takes up a lot of time. Sometimes we have to wait for one whole day or more then 8 hours. As there are basically nothing that I can do but wait, I often did my waiting at a small cafe located somewhere around The Beach Hospital.

    The cafe is just a small scale of stall which only sells some coffee and desserts. As you can see in the picture, that's just about everything the cafe have. There aren't many customers because mostly these people did not come for the coffee. Most customers, just like me are here because of other reason. We all have a common goal, just that we are taking a break from waiting. We try to relax and have a cup of coffee. I ordered a regular cup of coffee and a small slice of cheese cake to go along with it. Well, to my surprise the price is a lot lower then I expected. It's definitely a lot cheaper then having coffee from those famous franchise coffee shop. I was served with a cup of black coffee, couple pack of sugar, a small cup of creamer and of cause the small slice of cheese cake. My second surprise starts here. The coffee actually taste good. It's not local Malaysia brew coffee where you have the strong taste and kick. It taste more like foreign coffee similar with those that you get from Starbucks, Coffee Bean or MacDonald. After mixing the black coffee with sugar and creamer, it taste much better. I happened to enjoy the cup of coffee for about half an hour. Although I have a lot of time to enjoy the coffee, unfortunately coffee taste good only when it's hot. I have no choice but to finish the coffee while it still taste good.

    I suppose coffee taste better when you have time to enjoy it. Well, in my situation my intention was to kill time rather then spare my time particularly for the coffee. Perhaps one other ingredient that makes coffee taste better is the waiting.

P/S: Hospitals are well known about bad taste of food. I'm glad that I still manage to find some good coffee while waiting. I don't suppose I can convince you to take a trip specially to The Beach Hospital in Ipoh just to try out the coffee. But if you really need to stop by there, try out the coffee. It might helps to make you feel better.

Google Adsense in Your City Location Boston

Some of the things that come to my mind when I read the word Boston are Larry Bird, Boston legal, The Celtics and Etc. I've been to Boston once during my collage time. Hopefully I get to go back again in future. I'll have to wait until I make enough money with Google Adsense. It's kind of sad that the program Adsense in Your City is only available in US. I hope that one day Google can launch a program call Adsense in Your country. I'll definitely do my best to participate even if it's going to take 4~5 hours of traveling. Just like what is mention at the Boston Adsense In Your City event, the best part of the event is the meet up. It's great to share the experience with people who have the same interest with Google Adsense. Stories of how publishers obtain the life of their choice through the money they make from Google Adsense really give motivation and inspiring. I suppose the one goal that most of us have in common when decided to make a living with money earn from Google Adsene is to spend more time with family. Still I have to say it's not easy to achieve success in this field, especially if you're not staying in the US. It takes a lot more time and effort to actually get to where you wanted. Before you arrive at the position mention by those publishers at the cocktail reception and individual optimization sessions, there is a huge mountain that you need to go over. Never the less the rewards received are far greater than most of the jobs available. And it's not just money that we are referring but also time and freedom of choice.
