By | 23 May 2008

Tomorrow’s the final of Akademi Fantasia 6. There’s no doubt in my mind that Stacy will win easily. Yes, Stacy will be crowned the new Akademi Fantasia winner tomorrow night. I guessed correctly last season’s winner, Mila and I think my guess is right again for this season. My wife actually got me watching the… Read More »

Birthday Blues

By | 22 May 2008

One thing I learned from making money on the internet is that its not sustainable. I was making RM2,000 – RM3,000 a month from Google Adsense but got banned last year. I then made RM5,000-RM6,000 a month from an affiliate program but got dumped from the program today for no good apparent reasons. And it… Read More »

Parking at Spring

By | 8 May 2008

At the tHe Spring shopping mall, I just realised they now have a parking toll system installed. And its all fully automated. No parking attendants sitting in their claustrophobic booth to collect money from you. No. When you drive in, you first obtain a ticket similar to the one depicted below: Now that’s pretty standard… Read More »

What Happened To Vanillashare.com ?

By | 30 April 2008

I wondered what happened to Vanillashare.com. Tried to access the site this morning but was re-directed to a wallpaper site called cwalls.com (Classic Wallpapers by cwalls.com). I guess it must have been finally closed down by the authorities. Shame as it was really the best forum for money making on the internet. The Money Making… Read More »

Baby Daughter Walks

By | 23 April 2008

My infant daughter finally managed to walk … all by herself. This defining moment occurred at an unlikely hour – at midnight. From the moment she got up on her legs I could tell she was able to walk by herself as this time she was a lot more steadier than usual. She walked a… Read More »

I can’t recall the last time I read a fictional book on a Saturday afternoon. Must have been way back when I was still schooling. Well, today this Saturday afternoon about 2.30pm I revisited my old time favorite book, “Tom’s Midnight Garden”. My 14 month old baby daughter has gone to sleep and with nothing… Read More »

Looking Back

By | 28 December 2007

I looked at my father lying sleeping soundly and alone in his bed in his room looking very old and frail. His right leg twitches every now and then. I looked round the room and I could remember a time when as a toddler I had shared this room with my parents. That was such… Read More »

Bought Sony Bravia 32″ LCD TV

By | 10 December 2007

Last Saturday 8th December (2 days ago), I bought my first HDTV, the SONY Bravia 32″ S Series KLVS32A10. As was expected it didn’t come cheap. Well, no LCD HDTVs are cheap at the moment. It cost me RM2,950 and comes with a 3 year warranty and is insured against theft, and fire damage. There… Read More »

My First Film Guides

By | 7 December 2007

I bought my very first movie guides in the early 1990’s. I bought 5 such books in one year and that was possible financially as they were like 70-80% off the original retail price ! Two of them I remember as Halliwell Film Guide and TimeOut Film Guide. The other three books, I can’t remember… Read More »

No Such Thing As A Free Lunch

By | 2 December 2007

There was this promotion at the local supermarket today giving away free lunch sets of curry rice sponsored by Maggi. I actually believed it even though I’m well aware of the saying “no such thing as a free lunch” ! When I asked for the free curry rice, the promoter promptly pointed to the fine… Read More »
