Being Sick
2008-11-25 23:35:00
Play this video while you read my post, i feel damn screw up now...Being sick is the most terrible feeling anyone will get. As i am typing this post as of now, i am plagued by a horrible sore throat and intense headache. I have been struggling from twelve midnight and it is six now. I decided to finally do something and record this painful experience i have. This is the first time i have such a bad time with my illness. I seriously feel like the most pathetic being on Earth now and really hope that the sickness will just pass me by. I just cannot sleep and worse, i am having a very hard time while being awake...... Can you imagine the pain of rolling in your bed for six hours and having a freaking terrible sore throat? I am really just waiting for the doctor to open? I almost burst out in tears while rolling in my bed just now like a baby... Man, this does not suit me, i am supposed to be aspiring and strong, but this sickness really get me... It is driving me crazy... I just wish s...

My Genting Trip
2008-11-16 17:54:00
Recently, i was on a trip to Genting Highlands, one of the more popular attractions in Malaysia and what i experienced there was very enriching for me, though boring seeing as to how i never did accomplised what i went there to do.First of all, from this trip, it provided me even greater motivation to earn more money since i now realize what money can drive or propel people to do. Over there, i learn how a "clean and comfortable and moral" world we live in where we are supposed to abide by rule and regulations.Besides that, the trip was pretty ordinary, with me going into Ripley's museum again and a haunted adventure house where i literally wasted about RM50(about 17USD) going into since i literally almost feel asleep there. I tried archery, rifle, singing and even going into the pub and sadly to say, all of the above are pretty unentertaining. Their pub has a group of performers that was just not for me as they were singing some dialect songs. Also, i do not wish to spark a flame ...

Recent Currency Rates
2008-10-27 16:34:00
Hello people, it have been a rough year for the global market, especially for the US economy, one of the most badly hit nation with it many trade deficits. According to my limited knowledge from hearing to newspapers and my financially smart families and some small group of friends, the reason why the US economy was so bad at one period of time was due to banks not being able to get back the money it loaned out, which many of you i believed may have been aware of the bankruptcy of some large banks in the US.However, after recently looking at the current exchange rates in the market from http://www.exchangerate.com/, i personally believe that the USD is going stronger again. After all, from what i heard, the USD is an international acknowledged currency and countries cannot afford to let it fall. For example, countries have been pumping money into the US market now. Think about it, what will happen if the world leader in the economy fall? Would it not put the world economy into a sta...

Latest Update - My Blog, Free Stuff Site And My Life
2008-10-23 02:33:00
Hey there guys,It has been a seriously very long period since I last update my blog and after an argument with one of my friend over my blog (the usual stuff like my blog is sidetracking from the main theme, I have not updated for ages and etc). Sensing some truth and some reason in his words, I decided to update my blog here and now.Let me get started on the latest news of my life.First of all, my mid course promotional examinations are officially over. I have passed all and as much as I wish to praise myself for it, I have not achieved my new year resolution. Instead, I failed badly. This made me realize how I am unable to stick to my plans, the methods that will take me to success, I started out fine definitely, but as the time passes in the school, I begin to falter and succumb to my inner desire to just slack and be normal. I wonder how many of you have had this feeling before, when you set up to do something, everything is going strong and you feel good but as you do more of t...

Nevertheless, i struggle to stay up late and bring you some small entertainment as compensation for my long absence from this site.

Bullet Ads Affiliate Network
2008-08-14 14:54:00
Like all normal days, i checked all my email accounts before working my laptop, and to my surprise, i received a confirmation for Bullet Ads, a certain affiliate program that i have applied for a couple of days ago. This affiliate network focuses on pay per lead and its first of a kind for me, meaning that i am trying this type of network for the first time in my life. The payout is suprisingly quite an amount and i am really interested to see how far this network will take me.This ad network has several campaigns going on now and i am trying four of them currently, in which all four are related to free stuff offers since i am operating and managing an active free stuff site.For webmasters searching for a credible and good paying affiliate program, i really recommend this network. Simply click here and apply for this network now.Of course, there is a certain standard to the kind of websites they allow to be their partners so if your website do not even have 100 unique visitors a day...

My 4 Days As HP Pavilion Series Promoter
2008-08-04 08:46:00
Just four days ago, starting on thursday, i landed a job as a HP Pavilion series laptop promoter. My friend introduce this job to me and i, with much excitement took it up as i believe that it will be contributive to both my personal skills such as fluency in communicating, persuasive skills, selling confidence and my knowledge which through this roadshow, had resulted in me learning quite a fair bit about computers and how they work. RAM, Processor also known as a chipset, graphics card, etc. I also got to know which brands were the more trustworthy one and which brands had a bad reputation. This builds onto me the ability to choose a comfortable laptop within my budget and prevent me from getting cheated when choosing a laptop should i ever require one additional one or my current one is spoiled.For the whole of the four days that i worked, i earned about SGD200, which comes down to about SGD50 a day. The pay is not a lot but considering the amount of things i learned from this ro...

Having A Goal
2008-07-21 17:40:00
I am sure that at some point of your life, you are bound to encounter things that you hate doing but absolutely must complete? Does it not bother you on occasions like these that you are not able to do the things that you have to? For me, working out, studying and handling my site had always been a chore for me, even more so after i implement my daily conditioning program into my life. However, as i grow and mature, i began to seriously enjoy what i am doing now, maybe because i have a goal now, seeing beyond the initial pain and realising that i can achieve something more if i start working instead of procrastinating and dragging my work to the last minute. My goals have change me to be someone i am usually not, giving me motivation, strength and energy.For example, my daily conditioning program though painful and excruciating, a bit extreme but you get my point, i was able to endure it and after the whole 30 minutes everyday, taking a cold shower, i feel totally refreshed!

Daily Conditioning
2008-07-17 14:15:00
Today, i will talk about a recent activity i have integrated into my lifestyle. This conditioning as you have seen from the title above, is done daily without fail. I really believe that to keep an optimum active level of alertness and passion in life, you have to be strong, not in the thick bulky muscles you see from body builders, but strong in the conventional sense of keeping yourself healthy by doing certain exercises. This conditioning dose not have to be long as for me, my conditioning only take up about thirty minutes of my time everyday. If i can spend thirty minutes lesser sleeping but instead switch it to improving myself to prepare myself at the maximum for a new day, i am sure that i will enjoy the joy of the day much more better.My daily conditioning is done in three sets, and the purpose of the exercise is to stretch the muscles of the arms, the body and the legs, the core parts of a human body. The final goals of my exercise is to build resistance against fatigue and...

Starhub To Singnet
2008-07-12 05:51:00
After about 2-3 weeks of no internet connection as my cable modem was spoilt, i decided to change my internet connection and got a new service provider, Singtel.This past 2-3 weeks has crippled my ability to update my blog and site, thus causing a lot of tension on me when i realized that i have so much to do after being inactive for these two weeks. The most important thing i need to do now is to reform Active Free Stuff because the last time i was at it, problems like no internet connection prevented me from accomplishing what i set up to do. I really have to start applying for affiliates and be focused in my task now.By the way, on a personal note, i am getting my braces done and its kind of painful. I just feel so squeezed whenever i eat. The braces are not cheap as well and because of that, i have to work even harder for the mother who helped me pay for my braces.My mid course exams are in 10 weeks time, this is really a rush against time and pushing against my limits thing to ...

Summer Test Results Released
2008-06-25 16:30:00
After about a month of waiting and praying, i finally know the results of all my test papers today. To be honest, it was not up to my expectation cause i failed one subject. But even without failing, i only manage to scrape through some of my papers like H2 Maths. With no further ado, let me announce my results.H2 Maths - E (This was close, i almost failed this paper)H2 Economics - BH2 Geography - U (Ungraded... What the heck?)H1 General Paper - DH1 History - D (Quite unexpected, thought that i will get E or S)And so these are the result of my summer test.Lets see, there are a few things i learn from this test. Firstly, if i maintain this result, i definitely will not have a chance to go to a local university in Singapore. Next, i realized that my H2 Geography had always been my weakest subject, more time have to be dedicated to this subject. Finally, i am even more certain now that studying and doing your tutorials will help you in your revision.Of course, i am quite glad that i ma...

Make Money With Online Ads
2008-06-20 20:00:00
Today, i have decided to bring across a fantastic news to everyone reading this post. A true and factual account of how you can make money online just by regularly writing and updating your blog or website online. To start off, the world of the internet consists of endless possibilities, an internet millionaire can easily be created. Conventional business rules and restrictions can never hope to defy the world wide web. Think about it, common general stores open 12 hours maximum a day. However, through the internet, any store is open 24 hours a day, every day and week for years without any electricity bills to pay and compared to rental prices of store and land, the cost required to host a website is minimum.Anyway, as i was saying, the possibility that you can exploit with the world wide web is endless, and online ads are one of them. Advertisers are sensing the increasingly number of people who are internet-savvy and their methods of introducing their products had evolved greatly ...

AIM 6 Has Trojan Horse?
2008-06-05 16:19:00
In an attempt to connect myself with other internet users, i recently downloaded AIM 6,installed and created an AIM account after being introduced by one american friend of mine. However, i am rather upset about some of the things that the program had caused for my laptop.To begin with, after experimenting with the program, i found out that i do not have to use the program to connect better with people from other countries as MSN messenger prove just as capable. The problem does not come from using AIM 6, in fact, the program AIM 6 is perfectly user-friendly and cool, however the problem come when you want to get rid of it.I was prepared to get rid of it, but just when i was about to remove it, my avast antivirus prompted me on the possibility of a trojan threat. Being the cautious man i am, i went searching on the web for an answer and almost gave up hope until i found this thread. Apparently, this dude encounter the same problem as me and kindred souls from the web had helped him ...

New Blog - Mysterious Stories From The World
2008-06-01 15:44:00
Hi people,Today i started a new blog titled Mysterious Stories From The World . If you asked me why i decided to create this new blog, i wouldn't even know. One thing for sure, i had always felt and believed that there were existences that were higher and more intelligent then us. In fact, if you look at it, it is even amusing and weird as to why a person like me who want to get rich would write about paranormal stuff. Well, the truth is, i had always aspired to be a journalist cum explorer since young and writing about stuff that i enjoy is something i really wish to do. We all have only one chance to live, why waste it on being normal? Why can't someone be a rich journalist or explorer right? Not only that, there was once in my secondary three when i went into the Ripley's believe it or not museum alone at night. I emphasize on the word alone since my mother was gambling with her friends in the casino. That was one hell of a scary experience! Really, that was seriously the only...

My Mentor

Hi, Its been a while since i have blogged like this. This post is gonna be all about me and my mentor, a man i have grown to respect more and more.To start off, the past few weeks have been relatively tough for me in the sense that i woke up extremely early everyday at about 0600 to prepare myself for my tennis attachments and training with my coach. This has been a real test for me as a person as i was never an early bird. But seeing the vision and cultivating the champion mentality in me, i force myself to go against my conscious awareness to go back to sleep. With him, i learn a lot of new stuffs not only on tennis, but also on maturity of thoughts. I went to places, see things, teach people stuff, learn stuff myself and lots lots more. He mentored, guided and make me ponder on things that i would never have ponder in the first place. His guidance as a mentor and friend has really groomed me into someone i am quite confident and comfortable in saying, a better man.I remembered th...

Summer Test Coming Soon
2008-05-07 09:43:00
Hey people,I will dedicate this entire post to my school work. Ok, to start with, for the past two days, my school progress or my study progress has been relatively zero as i have just been slacking around when i went to get an MC yesterday due to some really terrible headaches. Before that, i was so caught up in my tennis coaching that i reached home only at 0000 almost everyday and after bathing and all that, i would only start study or doing my homework at 0030. However, i would only study until 0200 everyday as the whole coaching and homework thing is really taking a toll on me.However, as i begin to think about my circumstances, i realized that i am deceiving myself when i said i have no time to study. I was wasting time on computer and doing meanignless stuffs, so i have decided that the most i would use the computer per day will be 1 hour on weekdays and weekends. Although i am not really sure how my whole management will turn out to be, i really hope for the best. I really w...

eBay Trading - Buying And Selling Online

Today, after a long break of about two weeks and after tons and tons of experimenting with eBay and actually purchasing a phone off eBay, i have decided to talk about how you can make money online using eBay.First of all, to get started, you need an account with eBay. You can sign up for it once you reached the legal age of 18, if not, you should find someone older then you, preferably your guardian to sign up and you can start doing online trading using eBay. You also need a debit or master card, credit card (You can check with your local bank which card is usable for online purchasing and trading).Once you have registered your account, you may want to consider getting a paypal account here so that you can handle your online transactions easier and faster. After that, you can start looking for items you want to buy online or if you have some unused items, you may want to sell them globally. Also, you have to made sure to check the shipping costs and everything and look at the item ...

Ok, since i have been doing this tennis coach attachments for a while now, i have gained a broader view on stuffs that i havent really thought about, made silly mistakes but was given a chance. "The people judge you not by your feelings but by your actions," i forgot who told it to me before but this sentence has always been self fulfilling. The past three weeks, i have been trying to balance school work with tennis attachments and more, but i realized just how sad it is sometimes that i can never really accomplish the things i really want to do. I really have to start reflecting on myself. For instance, now as i am about to set out to have my dinner and i just looked at my wallet now, right now at this instant, i was thinking "Bugger." Since i intend to focus this post entirely on my tennis attachments, i know i shouldn't really go out of point but i have done tons of stupid things i must consistently ingrained into myself so i will not made the same stupid mistakes again.

However, over a period of time, i believe that it can accumulate into a hefty sum but i am definitely and strongly against people who want to help me and keep clicking on the ads.

I don't want to get banned from Google Adsense program just because of some small incidents which are unethical.Next, i have uploaded my Facebook and eBay profile under the Contact Me section. Feel free to browse through and find out what have been happening with me as i strive to consistently update my life on a regular basis. I am also cu...

The Importance Of Link Exchange
2008-02-17 13:48:00
Link exchange is one of the most widely used tools to drive more traffic to your site. By exchanging links with other websites or blogs, the parties involved in the link exchange partnership will expose both their visitors to other websites or blogs which may or may not have useful or relevant content that the internet community will be interested in. There are tons of free link exchange directories out there that are useful and one such site is http://www.build-reciprocal-links.com/.Ho wever, when you talk about link exchange, it is of minimal use if the website you link to does not link back to you and this is usually known as an unreciprocated link. In the case where you link to other websites without them reciprocating the link back to you, you are exposing your own traffic to that particular website without them giving you back any traffic. So when you link to a particular site or blog, you have to let the webmaster or administrator know by sending them an email. However, if you...

Hi,The chinese new year in Malaysia was a fantastic one. Ladies and gentlemen, prepare yourself for a long post and story. I will skip the details on the ride there and back, it was boring, always are.And so, after about 7 to 10 hours of travel, i reached Ayer Tawar, part of a region in Malaysia. Once i got there, it was about 12 midnight or later, and since i have been stoning for the whole trip there, i bathe and slept straight away.The next day, i went over to my neighbor's place, been a very very long time since i got back, and as i suspected, their four cute daughters don't even remember me anymore. I felt a bit sad, cause i "played" with them a lot during the holidays in the past and now, they cant remember me at all, at all... Sigh, anyway, the eldest one is now eleven year old and slowly growing into a fine girl. Below is a photo of them during the wedding which i will come to later.Their family are all nice people, devoted christians who always never feel bad about giving...

This is my first ever recorded podcast. For this podcast, i edited, toiled and finally, a seven minutes podcast is born =). Through the course of doing this podcast, i had an incredibly fun time with my group mates and the podcast, i would say, is rather successful. The subject of our podcast is "Image Is Everything In The Modern Society . Discuss."The podcast takes on a light manner and our group tried to argue in the podcast that image is not everything in the modern society, though it is definitely something to a certain extent. I tried to make the music rhymes with the flow of our argument, but i personally still feel that the podcast is not perfect yet, both in the music use, our argument, the points raised and the tone we used. There are certainly still rooms for improvement and i will no doubt, continue to make podcasts if i have free time on my hands since its so fun and exciting.I feel proud listening to my own podcast and i certainly hoped that you guys will like the podcas...

Starhub Internet Connection Is Slow? Reports And More
2008-01-31 15:30:00
I have been a faithful and rather firm believer that Starhub may very well be one of the best internet service provider in Singapore but the past months or maybe even year have completely changed my thinkings. Listed below are reasons on why i finally decided to really whine about this.When i watched youtube with my home wireless, it was freaking slow, when i watched it at my friend's house with his internet, also using my laptop, the speed is much more faster by several times. My downloads often got cut off, i do not know if it is due to Starhub's service or what, but when i download at my friend's house, the result is totally different. I am really starting to reconsider about using Starhub as my main internet service provider as it is really getting on my nerves. My friends use Singtel by the way. I am very sick of the slow internet connection that i went to dig out a ton of reports on Starhub's service. There are several more but i am afraid that if i list them all out, i wo...
