You win some.You Lose some.

Tuesday 27 March 2007 @ 8:40 pm

Well, that is what happened to me today. If anyone noticed, I dropped $100 opportunity cos I got rejected by DVD Play Machine for ‘NOT BEING IN THE US’. Haa Haa. I used it actually alot a few years ago while it was in Beta Stages, and though it had it’s glitches, I love to try to fondle about with new technology.

It was a longshort bet. And a badly made video (what you expect from a camera phone snap?), and so, I lost that $100 after a 3 week long wait for it to be reviewed by a person. What can I expect? Nada.

I actually look forward to going to Singapore in a few days time, cos I got some business to do up there, and well, I also look forward to the Play.SG machine so I can rent a game dvd.Which accepts more means than just credit card, they even now take your MOBILE as a means of payment. Just like paying for my Coke here with a SMS to COCA-COLA MACHINE-NUMBER and presto!

Alexa and Google sure love me for blabbing about it.NOT! I just find PPP is just like another bookie, taking bets from bloggers to do posts, they get a kill fee, and we get…zilch!
In fact, a blogger who took my previous opp actually lost the $5 for her putting her saving collie link alongside with my post. I don’t mind actually. Poor doggie!

I don’t like that sense of people done a job for me,even how bad others think, cos at the end of my day, it’s me who pays for mine, and I wanted to have more friendly links! Sad.I hate to do that. Not my kind of way to make a decent promotion. A publicity, how bad it is, is still publicity, and even contraversal ones makes a good one too!

At the end of the day, only PPP wins Money. Not us@!




Another Pre-Launch Paid blogging site.

Monday 26 March 2007 @ 8:00 pm

I was actually refered by someone else, and the concept of Paid Blogging is great, so great that they pay $5 for that referral PLUS 10% of their earnings.

It’s called FUMO an they are officially launching on 20th of May,so might as well get our foot in, issn’t it. That pay using MoneyBookers and E-Gold too…so…what U waiting for?

PAID BLOGGING, Earn $5+10% of the blogger's earnings!




My new Tag!

Sunday 25 March 2007 @ 7:29 pm

Nope.This no PayPass Mastercard or Visa Wave kind of thing to Tag about…nor it has to do with the SmartTAG *(Touch And Go) in your car, but it’s kinda something linked.

I got so many TAG by So many people for so many things, so now, I will start a new one.

Title : Where Next ?

Proposition : Where do you want to go Next, OUTSIDE OF YOUR COUNTRY, for tourism, work , study, whatever.

Requirements: Find some info about the place, itenary etc, pics if possible so you get MORE Traffic coming in, and maybe some people can find somewhere to go to. Excludes your NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOUR, ie Singapore,Malaysia,Brunei, a country that borders yours.You must register for MyBloglog so we can blogwalk ah…..get it?

Quantity : FIVE PEOPLE.

Tag Mode : Chain Link. 15 of them.
You leave 15 people and their DEEP LINK of their Blog Name and TAGGED POST and hit out for five more. So it will look like
This Singaporean Melayu in Europe aka Azrin going LANSING MICHIGAN [Mine and The Start,This post will be this tag post!]


MaRLinda
in Disneyland Paris

Athira Baby and her Balamory Antics moving about!

———–

Like that ah. Just as long it’s 15 people. Delete the last entry if it’s 15 already and put yours on the top.

Easy Enough? So now, I am going to TAG these PEOPLE who always go walk about :
Diana Tan
Ms Michelle Sau Fong
Osman Bey
Zubli Nordin
and my new British Comrade, Owen.This bloke is on the Isle of Manx,not England OK?

TAG! YOU Guys are it!

Extra Rules: you cannot Tag another person who has performed the Tagging Rights to Travel. Check yr commentators.

Exercise effectiveness: You get about at least 100 back links directly to a max of a few Trillion Multi Linked people Track Backing and tagging at ya. That sure will pull yr alexa and Technorati down alot! (it’s 15 times of 5 to the power of 13). It is sure a way to pull down the numbers as I mentioned earlier.

You MUST PASS this tag within 7 days of receiving it , or loose a days worth of Blog Revenue or $10 to charity. Can?Makes it interesting anyway.So no Lazy Tags running about, and yeah, eventually, there will be less than a 1:3 chance you can’t tag that someone. And pay those people in the list a visit, you never know if you can pinch / recycle some ideas for your next entry!


*** Place yr 2 -3 paragraph of where you want to go here***

Since I started this, I will have to be an example.Right?

My next pitstop is in Lansing, Michigan. United States of America where I will have to undergo the gruel FAA Medical Exam to certify that I am fit for active duty as an Airmen. Well, I got my wings clipped few years ago due to my health deteriorating and now I feel I am up to it.

The re-course will cost me about $56,000 for 4 years plus food and lodging etc. That puts up to another $20,000 plus, but since it’s a Pay and Go system, I will settle for a few semesters first and then, take it back from there.

I want to get back in the air, flying high, and taking more pics. What do you think?

———START———
Start Tagging :
[add your Blog Name Here] and the [Post Url]

Azrin going Flying High in Lansing Michigan
[Mine and The Start,This post will be this tag post! Cut this and place under your Entry above]

[Delete the one Right above this if list is bigger than 15.Tag Started 25th Mar 2007.Do Not Modify this Line.Originated by Geeks Lair SEO Engineering 101 Project ]

REMEMBER: YOU CANNOT TAG SOMEONE WHO HAS ALREADY DONE IT.No Cheating.
—————-END————
You are at Level 1.Change this to reflect which level you have been tagged.Please.




Internal Server Migration

Saturday 24 March 2007 @ 5:38 pm

I’m moving off some of the services from the servers to integrate into a singular controller.
So at this moment, if somethings go missing, don’t mind me, it’s part of the propagation.

Yikes!




Money Money Money

Friday 23 March 2007 @ 8:20 pm

Money Money Money,
Show Me the Honey,
It’s a Rich Mans World.

That sure gonna be sung by Mr Gordon Brown and his ever heavy handed Tax Regimes, and so I reword it …..
Money is like Honey
Change Tia’s Nappy
I’ll stick it up Gordons Buzz…

Honestly right, the Government is driving property prices to the max. I am a key worker myself and it’s not a easy ride for all of us, especially property rental is getting too much to handle. I thought it’s actually easier to do a Buy-To-Let Mortgage than getting a first time homeowner mortgage.

I bought my flat many years ago in the dodgy end of East London, Bethnal Green where Jack the Ripper roamed. It’s like Bangla Town with the smell of curry waking you up , as a wakeup call. And swiped the whole amount then on my Harrods Card was a real galore. Don’t ask me how it was done, but I managed to secure a £50,000 credit limit then and there I was, bought a run down flat for peanuts, off Harrods Estates.

So, the flat at Mansell House was a real …slum. I needed a personal loan to cover the bulk of the renovations and then the Banker told me not to, instead get a secured loan aka First Party Mortgage secured onto the property instead as the interest was only about 4.8% compared to an Unsecured Loan Rate of about 9.9% APR. At that time getting a loan was a real breeze. No documents needed as I hold a freehold title deed to the property. All I need was to pay GE Capital for my Harrods Card.

It’s that easy. Money was there within 48 hours, thanks to Bank of Scotland. Barclays was a real mess, and I got an additional charge from the Woolwich Building Society (now part of ever useless Barclays) to cover some additional furnishings.

It’s a classic Homes Under The Hammer and total bill : £35,000 for the whole furnishing, upgrades, new kitchen, new toilets, floorings etc. Well worth it.

I sold off the property a year after for almost £150,000! That easy. I could made more if I rented it out, but too much of a hassle for me.




Mastercard For PayPal

Friday 23 March 2007 @ 6:05 pm

I was contemplating of moving the current ATM provider in the UK (which we are having headaches with) for our Prepaid Mastercard program in the UK for a one based in the US for the sake of people who needs to cash out funds from PAYPAL.

As such, before I embark on the swap, I just need a show of hands, to see how popular will it be and what level will you willing to pay for it.It is a real ABA Account and initially will be a ATM Card based and in September will be rebranded as a full Fledged Mastercard program.

The Initial cost will be $40, being $30 card issue fee +$10 deposit so it will come as ACTIVATED.

What do you think? Please write a review about this and trackback.

Thanks




LVR

Friday 23 March 2007 @ 12:49 am

I know this is a sensitive issue but just like prostate cancer, women too suffer in silence in terms of ignorance to the problems with the LVR. And don’t you guys think that vaginal tightening is just for your own enjoyment only, but that the causes of childbirth made the mother problems like incontinence or even UTI or urinary tract infection. In some severe cases, PCOS occurs due to this problem too, and the list is ever endless.

Having the clitoris and major Labia repaired prohibits bacterial infections which causes the stink in the vaginal shaft which may be also related to the discharges itself. I left my O&G education to the dogs so I try to recall what these means to the average Joe and Jane.

Basicly, the main plus for a LVR is sexual satisfaction during intercourse. Also that the likelihood of incontinence is low.
Read on more if you need more info.
