To my darling wife…

It’s been a hell of a three years together…with little angel of a Tia Baby who is always up to something….

And me..with my mess and being another baby……

Thanks for the past three years together dear…. I know Tia was the pearl of the marriage….and the cause of your straight jacket. So…. you won’t be reading this …hopefully cos we will be on the road….

Happy anniversary…..and even though on the marriage cert, they wrote it as 20th May…. we know it’s on the 19th at about this time. You know how the imam was…old and frail. Love you lots…and …where is that little stinky of a Tun King?

Accent Card again? More trash? What?! No end to this huh? I was at the Ebay Forums and the thread gets too long now…so if you have nothing to do….. read it…but I do warn you…..

Aiyoh. I thought my last reply was the end of the thread. What a waste!

So, in recap, yes.. E-Trade is expensive after the SECOND YEAR. That alone …makes things great for us…small timers alike. Low fees… Cards and Checkbooks sent by Fedex, protection for your money and much more.BUT, in the US, where I used to work, Banking is NEVER CHEAP. Just like our Malaysian banks too, US$25 every few mths, or if your balance below US$5000, $30 fee applies…plus this and that.

AccentCard…or whatever card…AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. They just make a fool of yourself. Even Metabank’s Account Now is a rip off, despite them being a real provider in the US.

If you are selling stuff to the EU, register for a UK COMPANY. Cheap,,and alot of them even help you get a bank account set up. All you need is a 0870 number and a SkypeIn number for your incoming local calls for compliance purposes like SKYPE or Customs and Excise. I am UK VAT REGISTERED, and had my Money Laundering license, thus being able to trade over £15000 in cash at a go, but that doesn’t allow me to buy your PAYPAL FUNDS. That my friend is MONEY LAUNDERING. You will be detained under the ISA in Malaysia for that reason. Do you want to risk losing your ‘teruna’ in Simpang Renggam where they detain ISA detainees? Guys? I know it’s tempting to do so…but if you don’t have a product to show proof, don’t sell anything FAKE or DODGY. You will get into HUGE TROUBLE.

Offside, alot of bloggers were stuck with their US$ Funds thanks to PayPerPost and their means of payment, PAYPAL. That caused their accounts to be suspended recently..alot of them had been,even mine last Labor day,.. for Fraud Prevention, despite me being certified and verified by PAYPAL as a REGISTERED FULL MERCHANT, with full VIRTUAL TERMINAL ACCOUNT. Took me a lot of words..and calls plus a legal notice to summon them in EU court for discrimination and prejudice under the FSA and HMCE rulings to make them lift that problem out of my hands.

Their actual Reasons:
EXCEED FLOOR TRADING LIMITS.
NAME AND BUSINESS EXCEED LIMITS RECOMMENDED BY CREDIT BUREAU.

Huh? I thought?! Who reported me? Apparently they cross referenced me with my business IP ZONES, thru DUNS (Dun and Bradstreet Services for Business Names), Experian and Equifax in the EU (yeah..I had a few traffic offences…so what? It’s criminal to them..apparently: READ AS COURT CONVICTION) and Our Singapore CID and the Malaysian Bank Negara CCRIS (Consumer Credit Reporting Information Service comprising of Biro Maklumat Cek,Government Payment System, KWSP, SOSCO, PERKESO, LHDN and others)

Yikes..so if you don’t declare yr income tax properly..they will cause yr account to be triggered, thanks to the NSA and big brother. It’s also about patterns, when yr normal spending patterns are not in order, they will do an internal audit.

So…my point it…DO IT RIGHT!

Don’t do a shortcut and have to do things all over the place again! Understood?

If you still need the forms for eTrade Brokerage Account etc…hit down to my site and it’s all there. ON THE HOUSE. I even help you for that initial check!

And..you need at least $100 to start your account up…but to fully activate yr services… you still need at least $1000, or $2000 for 14 days. Email me if you need that check. Standard fees apply.

And if you are still wondering what was my FLOOR LIMIT (over every 120 days):

ACCOUNT LIMITS

Your credit/debit card deposit limit 2051.70 GBP (approx US$4000)
Remaining 170.70 GBP

Your outgoing transaction limit 20517.00 GBP [?]
Remaining 1901.42 GBP [Request Increase]

AND I STILL WONDER HOW DID I MANAGE TO HIT THE TOP?@!

Ronald….was not a Mac Donald but talk like Donald the Duck who is a loving chubby whom I love to pluck and thus …he remembers me by… till now, that after all these while… He remembered me calling not by cluck cluck cluck…but Ronald, the Donald Duck.

That is another tongue twister I made for a fellow kid …I think about 20 odd years ago..when I was at Rulang. This little chubby boy…who was in kindergarten had problems with his reading..understanding and I remember clearly how frustrated Miss Asha Pereira Nicholl was with him.. for he talks with a sound.. just like a duck. Mainly..he was more of a cheeky boy than silly, but when his mom went to move to the states, Ronald kept in touch, and he was sent to be educated with some organisation called SCORE.

Yeah, I know Ronald needed some coaching with his reading tutors, meaning that he needs to be able to read more fluently, and being a Singaporean with the Singlish or Hokkien slang…doesn’t help much.

One thing do stand out. He is now a really good professional speaker, and contacted me a few months ago… about methods of teaching the slower kids to read better..and that he said that having something easy to remember by.. a joke or a tongue twister which is personalised for each person, makes the person feel secure and appreciated, thus the drive for excellence. I was surprised by that statement he made, that he can remember every single word I told him, the nasty joke by playing with his name…. and that was the essence of he being in the top league.

Yes, to one of each own merits. However true it may be, but a negative being a positive? I don’t agree. Especially those nasty rhymes.It was a sort of a bully…but seems it worked for him. I dare not answer to Almighty if Ronald uses that method on the rest of the children…for it may actually haunt me.

Idiomic issn’t it?

So, the moral of the story is, that to excell in reading, one must invite the child to plant the seed of interest in a subject that they are interested in….and with that…they will want to read more..even though it is bad. But for their own good, as long as their vocabulary are broaden, I stand to be corrected.

I was laughing my toes..when I saw my ratings….

A LIST in the terms of ..WORST BLOGGER EVER..yeah! ..Unless otherwise stated….
Or is that just a mis conception….

BLOG ABOUT ME THEN??!I need 50,000 links!

Hey… if you have still problems with your PAYPAL FUNDS …I have actually thought it over..and well, I will buy your funds over…for a specific fee.

You can either opt to have 17.5% knocked off from the gross and I will pay you the amount as per bank exchange rate into RINGGIT within 72 hours of confirmed funds and identity check, or I pay you less 6% from Pounds Sterling (Paypal fees is 6% for me)…and a wire fee of £35 per transaction. I will remit the exact funds from my account to yours in STERLING so it won’t be much of a hassle to explain to Bank Negara.

Either way…if you need the cashflow and don’t have much time to wait for funds to clear etc, let me know..cos I get things done quickly..esp with my full money laundering licence!

Well, credit is given when it is due. After a long hassle with Paypal and why this and that about PayPerPost, my beloved Customer Lover the magnificient Karen finally made some changes to the way PayPerPost handles it’s payments.

Yeah..it’s STILL PAYPAL. But in line with the regulatory statues, they have indicated on each payment, which payment is it for, meaning “PayPerPost payout for opportunity_post 100880″ being the Opp Number stated there. Whereas not withstanding my previous stance, PayPerPost is only a VERIFIED BUYER, and not a Business Member, so they are still subjected to local laws of tax.

At least, for you, it’s a less of a hassle to explain to Paypal about where you got your funds from.

And….here is the bad news. They have clamp down on people who do paid posting WITHOUT PROPER INTERIM POSTS. Meaning, as per FTC requirements, a Sponsored Post must not have less than TWO UNPAID POSTS in between, for the benefit of the advertiser and the reader to avoid bad karma and also confusion respectively.

I did warn you jokers before about this..and here it is now. Meaning, PPP -Unpaid Crap-More pictures and stories worth 50 words- Blogitive (it’s 2 for them anyway) and 2 unpaid posts, blogsvertise and followed by 2 more unpaid , followed by Loudlaunch…and 2 more unpaid or so, and then PPP.

It may be on this formating

=PPP=
[UNSPONSORED,WITHOUT ADS]
=PPP=
[Unpaid Post]
[More unpaid Post]
=Another Sponsor=
[Unpaid post]
[Unpaid as required]
=PPP=
Pictures and words……

If you use INLINE ADS…it’s a NO-NO…includes KONTERA,ADBRITE, TEXT LINK ADS (new format) for SPONSORED BLOG POSTS!! And, in accordance to Google rules, no more than 3 advertised spots (Contextual) per page, meaning, no more than 3 Google,adbrite or whatnots mixed and matched in the page…if you do and get caught…forfeit of all earnings!

After a nice stinging letter from my lawyers to Paypal UK (Myself)…they fully restored my account. Yeah… In the Intend of Summons, …easily cite the fact that we were VERIFIED before…along with phone number checking and Identity Checked when we were made PREMIER BUSINESS MERCHANT. And oooh ya! The email servers were moved…mainly because they don’t bounce anymore…as that was the main cause of their concern.

It helps that you have a money laundering license from the HMCE and a VAT Registration…as that shows the company being legit…and as long as Big Brother says OK..who are they to say no. So that is another cause to summon them to court, citing Prejudicial Discrimitory acts against small businesses. That will kill them in court…so, if they lose (which they know they will),….it’s a multi-million or even billion pounds class payouts. The FSA will be happy to strike off their license big time.

So, this is a story of the small fry….pinching the big giant,..where it hurts…their fleshy parts!
