Kaching! Without a full time job anymore, I usually miss the end of the month where I get paid a full time salary. I always check on the 25th onwards if Google has sent payment via Western Union. And yes it’s just in today (on the 29th).
So go out and cash in your Google income […]

Being a full time blogger, naturally I prefer to do my shopping online. Sometimes the best deal can be found on the net. For example, if you are a parent you can find online store called BeyondBedding which specializes only on selling baby product.

Just take a look at the above. Isn’t it nice. Well it […]

Problems with Streamyx again so I’m out at the Mamak shop to do my work.

Two roti telur for lunch. There seems to be more WiFi connection in the shop. I get the occasional stray signal of KFC WiFi too
Anyway dropping entrecards here at the Mamak shop was painfully slow because some […]

I’m beginning to like the taste of wine. Had a good taste of it in Cameron Highlands. In cool weather, wine is nice. Sipping a little red wine after dinner goes a long way in improving your health. I’m not just saying that. Take for example my grandfather. He just turned 100 years old this […]

Last week I stopped at KFC to have lunch and was surprised they had free WiFi there too.

Had a Zinger burger and blogged for the first time from KFC. Since I just finished taking part in a 88 vs 1 chess simul event, I blogged about. I used my PDA and wireless keyboard. […]

Withdrew RM 50 from the BSN ATM yesterday. Just wanted to check what’s the exchange rate today.
It’s RM 3.19 per USD. Minus a dollar for using the ATM. It’s pretty low My friend is still getting 3.80 for an MLM program in which he get’s paid in USD into his account.

Look at my sidebar as I’ve just added another blogroll style links. So many new programs out there. At least this one won’t get you penalised by Google because they are clever in the sense that they use redirected scripts so no PR juice is passed on. I like this new service because it uses […]

I started out late using Entrecard but I’m now an addict. I drop about 1000 EC credits a  day on average and it’s like pressing bubble wraps. I can’t stop until every “drop” button is pressed.
Anyway it’s still nice side income and I’ll give it up when the market become saturated and it looks […]

US bans this gun (they say it can kill!) but Canada does not consider it a firearm due to it’s low velocity. So it’s one of the rare cases where you have to leave your gun when travelling from Canada to US!
Gizmodo has the story.

Yes this is a Router! USB thumbdrive size. It’s the Synet Windy31 USB Wireless Router and I stumbled upon it because I was looking for a way to share my WiFi connection with friends when I’m on the go.

After about a few weeks of selling EC credits on eBay, this is the total I’ve earned so far.
Not too bad. eBay charges about 15 cents per sale and my stupid PayPal “Premium” account charges a percentage. I really want to downgrade my PayPal premium account to personal so I can receive PayPal transaction […]

All my EC credits have been sold via eBay but recently I made my first sale without eBay. Thanks to a suggestion in my comment section, I used the PayPal widget to sell directly by placing the flash-based widget on my sidebar.
 
PayPal emailed the sale was made and I sent the EC credits to […]

The cheapest entrecard credits I sold on eBay was USD 6.50 for 3333 EC credits. I have a feeling this 3000 that is currently on eBay will be even cheaper. About 24 hours to go and the 3000 EC credits is only 46 cents !!
Now tell me if you can beat that price

Well not really cashout but I simply forgot to put my payment method. Linkworth pays every 10th of the month. I chose PayPal as the payment method as I can withdraw directly via ATM card with a USD1 per withdrawal fee.
