Planning a wedding through the web

My good friend's wedding had past and I unfortunately couldn't witness the matrimony due to some immigration problems. Haiz.. Just not a good way to start the month.

But at least I have another wedding to look forward to. Nope, it is not mine. I still have a few years to go to make sure my finances are stable for the marriage and my family. Back to the topic, Amaliah's wedding is on May and I'm the bridesmaid!!

Oh bother... Anyway I overheard her saying that all her wedding plans and ceremony was taken care by Wedding Website. It's a one stop place where the future newly weds can choose and plan their wedding, be it Virginal White Wedding or Wedding Under the Stars.

Of course being herself, she dropped in many unsubtle hints on seeing me wearing a wedding gown. Did I forget to mention I hate dresses? Not to mention I had to solemnly swear not to spoil her wedding by turning up with a blouse and a pair of jeans as my bridesmaid's dress.

Long and tiring day

It's 1830hr and finally I get to get off from work. Day has been hectic and stressful. The supplier didn't send the samples as promised and now I got an angry customer at my tail.

Thank god the customers only knows the office number. I don't want to even think the scenario if they were to get their hands on my mobile number. Calls non-stop.

I need a break. It's only Tuesday and I'm feeling that my capacity level has reached the limit. Later I need to head back home and do the household chores.

Urgh! When will it ever end? I can't think anymore. Need to trudge back home.

Very tired..

Free traffic.

Eight blog post in a day. It nearly drained the juice from my brain cells. My brain nearly went kapoot on me.

Who would have thought that writing blog post, eight lengthy ones can be brain draining. That haven't even count my Helium.com articles. To make ends meet, I need to write at least 5 articles per day. 5 articles with minimum of 450 words and based on the topics and sub headings issued.

So brain draining. But at least the pay is good. Anyway I found another good site on links exchange. It works in the way where you have to click on websites to earn point. Using this point, you will then purchase ads campaign to make others visit your website. At least you don't need to pay for the traffic to your website.

The site layout of the website is a little gawdy and pain to the eyes. But after a few minutes of getting used to it, its smooth sailing.



Mexican Hideaway

The moment, and I really meant THE MOMENT, I manage to close this coming deal, I will fill up my 14days leave and head off to Riviera Maya Resorts!

Too much stress, too much work and no relaxation will be the cause of my death one day. But before I enter the plane, I will make sure the mobile phone is turned off and a "Caution" note is plastered on the office noticeboard.

It will of course read
"Do not disturb me. Do so and I will delete the entire server backups and server data.

Luv,
Syikin"

Yes, that is how serious I am in getting my well deserved holiday. I am going to don my bathing suit, shake my booty and spend my days swimming in the crystal clear ocean. Then I shall head to their Gourmet Exclusive and indulge in their cuisine. No pratas and Briyani there, just pure Mexican food. Yummy!!

So that customer of mine better agrees on the deal or its back to the Danga Bay for me.

Scam free Paid Survey

Thanks to a friend of mine, she referred me to a good Paid survey website. No, this is not the usual 0.0005 cents survey type. Per survey that you do, which is usually a short comment of the website, you earn USD4.00.

I had thought she was lying, so being a doubtful Thomas, I sign up and after 2hrs of sorting out the problems in the website (I was at the verge of giving up) I finally manage to log in. Oh yes.. there were USD6.00 to USD4.00 surveys waiting for me.

Once you click on the link, you will be directed to their inner page. In the new page, you will see two different links which you have to review. After giving a few short comments, you are ready to submit your review and poof! you earn your USD4.00. Very simple...

I'm not gonna lie to you as you all know, I hate to be cheated and I hate scammers. Wasted USD36.00 on them before. The sign up is free, thankfully. The payout is USD75.00 via Paypal, I'm more than happy since I just earned USD 27.00 from them.

I will give more reviews tomorrow on them, to see if they can come out with new survey for us to click on. For those who wish to join and see for yourself, you can visit their website below.


Get a valid Insurance!

I was having my morning coffee with my ritual newspaper laid in front of me. It is a habitual routine for me to always keep track with the latest news and updates especially in the business line. Scanning through the prime time news, it was not surprising to find traffic accidents flaming the headlines.

For the past few days, Johor has been hit with heavy thunderstorms with flash floods. Many unfortunate victims were caught unprepared and was left almost penniless in the after event of repairing their destroyed homes. Motorists danced the thin line of death at every slippery roads and unseen potholes.

Malaysians are not the only one who are plundered with road accidents. A friend of mine from Austin, USA, recently met with a road accident. Thankfully, he was unharmed, although I couldn't say the same thing about his Mini Cooper.

Other than getting some demerit point on his driving license, he is also filing his insurance claim with Austin car accident attorney. So no worries about bearing all the expenses on the wrecked car.

Blog finally approved on Smorty!

Finally!! And I mean finally this blog is approved on Smorty. Been a few months since I tried and tried to get it approved. I guess it has to be this blog was kept dusty and well, tucked away in a small unknown corner.

At least now it is finally approved and I'm set on getting all the blogs running smoothly and updated to cater to the needs of the readers.

So why am I so flustered on getting this blog on Smorty?

Smorty is another one of those paid blogging websites which pays bloggers to review advertisers websites. They are also encouraging bloggers to refer advertisers to them and in return the referrer will get 5% of the sale transacted. You not only earn sales commission, you also will get the opportunity to post paid blogging reviews.

Interesting isn't it? Unlike other paid blogging websites, their commission rate is quite low, around 2%. But with Smorty, you get more. So come on bloggers, and try the new blog advertising!

Control Price Board to be abolished?

It seems that the government is taking their retribution in their hands literally. The Control Price Board is under the discussion for abolishment. Bad news for local consumers.

Imagine, the moment the board is abolished, all the prices of items in Malaysia will increase up to the seller's liking. With no guide and price control, usual sundries and marketing will be double of what it cost now. Previously, the board is responsible in meting out subsidies to items which are considered controlled items.

I shudder to think of the expenses incurred during the holiday season. Oh no...

If the board is abolished, well I can just say Good Luck Malaysians. You brought it amongst yourself. Who ask them not to vote for BN, spiteful towards BN. If all the prices increase with no increase in our salary pool, I am expecting to read more Along cases on the news.

Well, it's Along Bukit Beruntung for the future...

Investing in Gold

Just a few weeks ago, I had posted an article on Helium about Commodities Futures. It involves topics that are widely discussed in commodities trading and also the volatility of the market. The current price of gold as of 24/03/2008, 0709hrs New York Time is USD943.20 per troy ounce.

So its a good time to sell off your gold jeweleries and your gold coins collection. It's a good investment with the profit doubling from the amount that was bought. However if you wish to buy gold for a special occasion, then it's best you start watching the update of the commodities futures.

If the price of crude oil increased, then you can forgo the thought of buying gold. But if you just don't have the time to look the price up on New York Metal Exchange, you can always engage a professional consultant to take up the job.

It's more advisable to engage in a professional consultant for first timers. At Monex Precious Metals, they have professional consultants which you can engage to either sell or buy gold coins, gold bullion or to manage your investment.
