The Daily Blog (2006-2007)

I view writing as an intellectual pursuit that requires much thoughts,patience,creativity and imagination.As an amateur writer,The Daily Blog is an account of my inspirations as I venture into uncharted waters to explore new horizons in literature.

Monallisa Smile




Kuching has more crappy restaurants these days, this is one of them that I went. It's call best berry, Kuching don't even has berries....




And in the menu, I found something that was just..... plain amazing. It's a toast by the name Monalisa Smile. Now just in case you don't know what's a Monalisa Smile, it is a painting drawn by Leonardo Da Vinci. In my mind I thought the bread was something like this......



And in the end, THIS is the real MONNALISA SMILE TOAST.




AND IT LOOKS MORE LIKE HALLOWEEN FREAKY PUMPKIN FACE!




The white round thing is honeydew.




Monnalisa on Sunglasses




And I ordered a cup of coffee that looks.....




as small as.....




This!

When Bad Writing Becomes Funny

Worst analogies ever written in a high school essay:



* He spoke with the wisdom that can only come from experience, like a guy who went blind because he looked at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it and now goes around the country speaking at high schools about the dangers of looking at a solar eclipse without one of those boxes with a pinhole in it.

Joseph Romm, Washington

* She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.

Rich Murphy, Fairfax Station

* The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

Russell Beland, Springfield

* McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty Bag filled with vegetable soup.

Paul Sabourin, Silver Spring

* From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and "Jeopardy" comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.

Roy Ashley, Washington

* Her hair glistened in the rain like nose hair after a sneeze.

Chuck Smith, Woodbridge

* Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.

Russell Beland, Springfield

Jack Bross, Chevy Chase

* The hailstones leaped from the pavement, just like maggots when you fry them in hot grease.

Gary F. Hevel, Silver Spring

* Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man."

Russell Beland, Springfield

* Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

Jennifer Hart, Arlington

* The politician was gone but unnoticed, like the period after the Dr. on a Dr Pepper can.

Wayne Goode, Madison, Ala.

* They lived in a typical suburban neighborhood with picket fences that resembled Nancy Kerrigan's teeth

Paul Kocak, Syracuse, N.Y.

* John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

Russell Beland, Springfield

* The thunder was ominous-sounding, much like the sound of a thin sheet of metal being shaken backstage during the storm scene in a play.

Barbara Fetherolf, Alexandria

* His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free

Chuck Smith, Woodbridge

* The red brick wall was the color of a brick-red Crayola crayon.

Kaya & Toast again



Remember some time ago I put on this Kaya & Toast post and mentioned how bad it was. Well, it happened so that this shop didn't go bankrupt but instead, it opened another branch 3 minutes walk from my house.


As bad as I thought it is, I am an iron mouth tofu hearted person, so I gave it a second chance and visited it again.


3.15 p.m





This picture is taken by me, not the other guy(figure it out what I mean). The curry tasted better this time, but it still wasn't something worth worshiping.




Cai Kueh


And yeah, Kuching has got lots of these shops sprouting. Last time it was Kopitiam, now it's cafeterias and semi-restaurants. 'Secret Recipe' had just opened recently. But I heard the service was so bad someone stood up and shouted at them. There goes the 1 million ringgit franchise. It makes me wonder sometimes, we are opening 2 huge malls by the end of the year and constructing another Rm 270 million megamall all the while when we only have 600,000 citizens. Hmm......

My life begins in May



The last 5 months were unbelievable. I eat and sleep to wake up to sleep again. I told myself life must be more than this. However, this explains how I can update my blog so regularly you actually think I work in the press. It's not like I can't blog again when school starts but you have to agree with me when I say there are 24 hours only in a day, and much more things comes first. Mind you, I don't want to be a full time blogger. It's not a real job and it sounds stupid. Cool, but still stupid.


Anyway, May is coming and my holiday shall come to an end. let's just pay 1 minute of silence for that.


Well life moves on. And this time. It's bound to be a little different. For the past 5 years, I studied whereby every year I share class with the same faces and the same gang of friends. School policy- smart people should gang up together. And there were no surprise until SPM or 'O' level finished. Now since the time has come to make decisions and make path for ourselves, most of my close friends decided to leave for either this or that.


And me, unlike Robert Frost who said in his poetry 'two roads diverge in a yellow wood and sorry I could not travel both', I have one road and I am sorry I have to walk it...... Sijil Tinggi Pelajaran Malaysia (STPM).
Or in direct translation - Certificate for highly educated people of Malaysia.


If I'm not mistaken, it is rated as the world's no.4 toughest and pointless examination. In Malaysia, every 18 year old would prefer not to take up this examination. Almost everyone who can afford to go to college flee to college, everyone who cannot afford college flee to cheaper colleges. And the Malays go to a special programme call the Matriculation (a much easier form of A level, but is not recognised by any other country) So the leftovers are people like me and perhaps some of you. Face it, Matriculation was formed to give chance to Malays and bumiputera. Chinese and Indians that came later were perceived to be much smarter and is of course cut off from many opportunities offered by the Government. Malays and bumiputera are not stupid, they never was but they are spoilt. The longer they are spoilt the weaker they become, if Meritocracy were to be applied to our system. In 2 years time, there will be lesser of them in our local universities, but in 10 years time, they will eventually pick up and proudly says 'Chinese also not so smart lah'.


When it comes to study and education in Malaysia, I was naive before, I am not now.


It all started when I was young and I didn't know any better. I actually believed that the purpose to study is to equip myself with knowledge, to enhance my mind and become a better and intellectual person.


Siao ahh, that is for Ang Mo Lang in Americas. In Malaysia, we study hard hard is to get STRAIGHT As!


Other than that, chiak sai!


I came thus far, and no, for public exams in our country, I do not see it anymore as education. I see it as a job. This job has a target, the target is to get As.


So I got my job and I'm making myself working for 10 hours a day in order to meet my target. It's not that bad after all. Most working adults got to work 10 hours a day. If they don't perform, they either remain where they are forever or get fired. The world is round.


We may lived without wars (I don't like to call it 'in harmony') but sure this is a complicated society.


My life begins in May.

Why Blogging? (written respectfully and boringly as prefered by good people)

5 years ago, if you were to hear the word 'blog' you'd go like 'Blog? Can I eat it?'


3 reasons to blog, for fame, for girls and for money!


As you know, I have sworn to be less superficial nowsaday and people just hate me more. Someone described my writing style as similar to a durian. Some people like it some people just don't. That's mainly because I tend to write 'irreverently' many at times and I find my sense of humour there. That is an amazing illustration and I really like it. Anyway I just want to remind you that the durian is still the king of all fruit.


It's like for some religious purposes, the Pope wears a red prada and some people just don't like it. Probably that's why they came up with the movie 'The Devil Wears Prada'.




Anyway, for this entry, I'm just going to write 'respectfully', bearing in mind that underage minors are reading my blog and I should protect them from vulgar languages and..... the truth.


I was just going to talk about why we should blog. And what does blogging benefits ourselves personally. As we all know, most bloggers are sensitive when you say things like 'nobody reads your blog', ' your blog is dead', '1 average reader per day, you are your only reader?' Well of course when it comes to these hard questions and insults, the usual and also the correct responses to these people are the stereotypical 'I don't blog to let people read, I blog for myself, it's my personal journal, an account for me to look upon, I am who I am and I don't care if people don't read'.


Now just because somethings are stereotypical does not mean that they are wrong. They can be true.


We have more than 57 million blogs worldwide, and if every blogs should have 1000 readers. We'll need 57,000 million readers. That's like 10 times the population on earth. So it's technically impossible.


And yeah, there are more reasons to blog and having more or lesser readers should not discourage anyone. Blogging is fun because no.1, I can call anyone a pig in my blog. Let's try it out:


I have a friend call Kok Wee and he is a pig. Yeah, I just said you are a pig Kok Wee, bite me.

Blogging helps people express themselves like never before. Nay, it promotes reading and writing, that's exactly what Malaysian need.


I have friends, many of them, some of them are not even living in the same city as I do. They go as far west Malaysia, out of this country, out of this continent and out of this earth. (They say women are from Venus). So the years will start rolling, like it or not, as time goes by we are bound to lose contact with some of them. But now, with blogging, it is not the same anymore.


A proud alternative for mobile phones





Who says blogging is a waste of time? We are building the culture and society. What more, when we don't get to shout in the real world, we can make all the noises in this virtue world. As loud as we want until we get sued.


............I'm suddenly out of ideas after I uploaded that picture =_="


But blogging surely has more meaning than getting yourself known or putting up some crappy advertisements like I do. Probably not for some but there will be a few that just enjoy doing what they do without further unnecessary thoughts. Being innocent is just the most beautiful gift one could possess =)

1 ringgit phone

You might have noticed an 'Ejuction' advertisement under my 'sponsors' tab. For all you know Ejunction is a Kuching based website that works like Ebay. Just that it caters for Malaysian only. It was funny because when I was browsing it myself today, I found a 1 ringgit phone for sale.





The seller was so honest he even labeled the 1 ringgit LG phone as a faulty one.





Now who says only celeb blogs get to promote LG phones? Mine got it too!

I support Malaysiakini




I'm so happy to read this news 3 days ago. At last someone decide to poke fun at our beloved Chief Minister and get sued for alleging him to be involved in a Rm32 million corruption. In Malaysia, we get sued for 2 things. No.1, telling the truth, No.2 eat pork.


But you don't play-play. Our Minister is very Keh Si (lihai, geng, power, tok kong, whichever suits your dialect I understand my readers are mainly monkeys from Malaysia) one, you say bad things about him, you get a letter and 48 hours to say you are very sorry and you will surely stop eating pork. If you fail to do so, they will see you in court. That's why I want to be a lawyer. I don't want to stop eating pork.


However, the coolest thing is Malaysiakini refuses to apologise and they are daring our 70 year old CM to put this case on court. Now let me tell you, before this no one had ever got the balls to pluck the tiger's (CM) whisker like that. Now they aren't just plucking, they are totally shaving it's pussy.


Malaysiakini says:





Advertorial purposes:

I'm accepting full scholarships from any party to do a law degree, if you see the diamond in me, and you want me to study at your college, kindly contact me. More to read today, keep scrolling down =)

I tried to be spiderman, but most people think I am a lizard




I'm sorry, I'm just upset.


Thinking minds that reads my blog, they think that when I write I tend to take my sarcasm too far most of the times. See this...



At 8:07 AM, zewt said…

i find that andrew guy... a lil... young in his thinking. sarcasm is one thing, but i think he takes it too far most of the time. just look at the way he always describe himself as hot and smart and whatever not...

oh andrew... are you reading this? haha!



Now let me tell you something, I DO NOT take my sarcasm too far MOST of the times. I take my sarcasm too far ALL the time. You will never find me writing as if the world is not revolve around me. You will never find me writing with an 'average' sum of 'sarcasm' and a average sum of errrr maybe..... stereotypical passages. If you don't like my passages, get out of my blog. You want to talk about integrity, let me tell you integrity, I'd rather have nobody reading my blog, than to suppress my opinions, thoughts, the juices and the talkshow humour I show to the world.



Oh yes, do you seriously think that I am so naive to think that I am the hottest male on earth? Have you never watched Stephen Chow's Movies?



"Kai Tai, Lei Tai Lei Keh Yong Qi Mat Yeh Ah, Lei Yao Mou Lei Hui Yan Tei Ke Kam Sao Kah, Nah, Tong Ngo Pong Pong Lei, Bei Lei Pa Tou Lei Zi Gei Liu Tun Ba La"



Translation: NOT AVAILABLE!



It takes a literature guy to understand good stuff. Look what Kenny Mah from Kennymah.wordpress.com has to say about me



Kenny Mah:

But if I may be a bit KPC and interject, I believe Andrew Ho's entry was meant to be taken in a sarcastic, sometimes self-referencing manner. He could easily be talking about his own blog, after all. Which was why I found it funny, heh heh.




That is right, let me teach you a little about literature. The first law of reading literature is, when you read a passages by an author, do not judge that piece of article base on your perspective, your mindset, your history or your preferred writing style. You should but first check up the background, the history, the writing style, the circumstances which motivate this author to write first. Without a clear background and reasonings of why would the author write this way, you will never grasps the essence of it. Especially in poetries.



Most people tend to judge things by putting others into their own shoes, but not the other way round, which is putting themselves in others.



I tell you, I'm 'so special' (in a good way of the other) you can't find anyone else that write like me in Malaysia. And because I am so, people will like me people will hate me. People will understand people will despise. It doesn't matter to me, in real life, I hate nobody I love all. In the online world......love me or hate me, hmm............doesn't make a difference, it's just blogging!



But seriously, if you don't take every piece of my passages with a little humour. Your hair will finish dropping by the end of the year. Okay, fine, to give you your ego boost back. I seriously, really really seriously, very very seriously do not think that I am very very, I mean very very good looking. People don't realise my existence because of my looks, it's my personality that counts.


It's like what Simon Cowell told Top Gear Host Jeremy Clarkson in one of his show: "You don't appear on TV because of your looks, you appear on TV because of your personality"



I write pointless things, people say I am superficial, I write seriously people say I'm insane. I think the best thing to write is still "the fucking cibai ah pek cut my queue, fuck him, he think he's older than he can cut my queue? If he's younger I'd have spat on his cibai bin."



I'm obviously not made for blogging :( but instead, greater things...... = )

Just Follow Law

This is supposed to motivate me study 10 hours a day


For all you know I've decided to engage my brain more when I write these days. That's mainly because no.1, I am educated, no.2, I want to stop this culture in Malaysia where most blogger either 'talk cock about their daily lives and bitch so much they actually think that they will eventually become Xiaxue'. Let me tell you, it doesn't work this way. Xiaxue is one of a kind, any other imitations towards her will bring you right to 2 average readers per day.


The other one, is my dear and beloved Kenny Sia. Now I gotta love this guy because he made Kuching known as much as I do. Amen. But honestly, you got to have a highly creative brain and a gift to make jokes like JOKES. Or else, you'll be ending up making cold jokes and that is the most despise-able of all personality. You make cold jokes, people don't like you, you die, it's peer pressure you can't avoid.


And back to what I said in the first paragraph, I am inspired to write with my brain once again because of this new blogger call Zewt here. People introduced me to him and told me that this guy talks with his brain and people read it. Now, it is no secret that before him, the only bloggers that talks with a brain in Malaysia is mainly Jeff Oui and myself. Just at the verge when I was about to give up this Zewt shows up.


Now I've read his blog, and I don't know what's so special about it. He's obviously not as pretty as I am but when there are 50 comments in his comment box. I know there is something about him that others don't have. You see, I have more than 50 readers a day but most of them just read and go away. Obviously, my readers don't like to think or type.


But hey, the pursuit of fame should not lower ones integrity. Andrew Ho is a scholar and he will be a scholar. I can say that now because I'm 18. You gotta know, when you're 15, you talk politics, nobody gives two hoot. When you're enough age to vote (21 years old) You shout DAP on the street, you go to jail.


Baby I am so impressed by my intellect, you know what, the new trend in the blogging culture in Malaysia will be producing quality, thinking posts that inspires this society. And I'm pioneering it from today. Who cares to join?


I have a thinking brain and you know what........ if you like the STPM 'Just Follow Law' tag above, I have a better one for you. Put this on your blog. If you can't revolutionize everything, at least make the slightest difference.

Today I am a man...

Yesterday Kuching had a health seminar





Yesterday Nestle decided to make their yogurt expires






And yesterday, I chose to call 18 April my 18 birthday. So you can actually try buying the 4D number 1818. If you win, buy me a present.





Yes, yesterday was my birthday, I was born on the 18 of April 1989, the stars shone, the angels sang, lo and behold, I was born. Big deal, yeah, it kinda is for me, but you can always choose not to appreciate life, see yourself insignificant, live your life worthlessly not knowing how to give thanks to the fact that you are alive, breathing and you managed to live through year by year. Err, no, don't be angry towards me but I want to thank God for the truth that I'm alive and lol, I am a big boy now. I am responsible to take care of my own life, before that, nah, it was my parents job to keep me alive. So this was what I did....


I went out early at 9 a.m. to collect some certs and money from Segi, they apparently love my blog and decided to crown me King on such a good day.






Later I went out to have brunch (breakfast + lunch, early meal, yes this is a real word) with my friends and decided to hang out the rest of the day in my friend's huge house. (Yes, I do have a life out of this idiot blog, most bloggers don't, I do oh I do.)


Having utilised all the cool things in his house like the TV larger than my body, his fridge with all the soft drinks, his 3 computers with large LCD screen so much so my blog which is coded to align left stick at the corner 1/3 the size of the screen, his bathroom apparently with built in hot water, his father's Osim massage chair and his maid...... who had to wash my used towels. I am so glad he don't hate me.


By evening they brought me out for dinner and movies, just like what usual teens in Kuching would do on a birthday.



The food I had were...




Butter chicken cooked with some fish,weird stuff, it's not even on the menu, we just asked them to do it


And also....




Stew Lamb with Noodle, taste just fine, I rate it....normal.



I drank....



Teh Tarik Special, I don't know what's the special part but Kuching people sure love to make their drinks to many layers, they make tea as if they're mixing cocktail, I remember drinking tea with 5 layers. That's how obsess they are


And....




Sago Milk Tea



I ate with people like.....






And also faces like....





So I ended like.....



3 KG heavier, no I'm not FAT


Having that done, we went straight to the cinema to catch 'Just Follow Law', I have heard lots about the movie and how humorous it is. I have to say it is indeed really good.




I like how down to earth it is, since it is a movie from our region country friend Singapore, we Kuching lang should like it a lot. Especially when it comes with good values and hokkien jokes that is very much close to our culture. It is a great movie from Jack Neo, the best thus far, I totally love it. It's absolutely not from Hollywood and it doesn't tell me all the crappy lifestyle I should live to be wayyyyy cooooool and die so much younger from STD's.


Until next time, here is it your moment is in, go tell someone about my blog and make them love me. Have a great day. Student go do your studies, don't spend too much time on kennysia, don't learn anything from xiaxue, and blog only after you got your maths done. It's good advice from me, after all I'm 18.

local bloggers, their blogs, their superficialities, their intellect

Some people wonder why I do not write more intellectual posts rather than entries that are simply meaningless, pointless, personal and other times stupid. Quoting from a meaningful post from this place, it says


Andrew Ho is perhaps the greatest single example of this. He caters for Malaysian readers who don't want to think. I love his posts, I really do. I read them frequently.But...



You know this thing about intellectualism, it's Socrates and not Brad Pitt. Now that's a little intellectual phrase you have to grasp. I am not stupid, and I certainly have ideas and comments about the happenings in the society, and oh how I should write with depth and substances about them.


But it is no secret, that the only reason people visit my blog is because of my looks. But it is no secret that not every person is intellectual. As a matter of fact most people aren't. Most Malaysian aren't. Statistic shows that you piglets read only 2 1/2 pages of book each year. With that kind of performance, what exactly are our expectations? You want them to read things that require them to engage their brains and think sensibly? You might as well kill them. They would prefer you kill them.



Most people don't give two hoot of what you think, what you say and the ideas you generate from your retarded mind. In addition, MOST people are not even able to generate intellectual blog postings. Xiaxue does not even has a degree and Kenny Sia is 'when routine isn't exactly normal'. Do we seriously expect them to talk about substantial topics like the democratization of media or why anal sex is prohibited in Malaysia? Ya, tell me why can't I have sex before 21.



'Intellect' is a beautiful gift that can't be learnt, it is bestowed from heaven above. 10 people can read Socrates, but probably 2 would love to read more. And only 1 can produce his own. But when Brad Pitt flashes his nipples, 3000 women get saved.


Superficiality is so much nearer to the human nature, it's like when you're horny and the two books you really have to choose from to read is No.1 Teenage Porn, and no.2 Spm History. Picking the first option is definitely sinful, but picking no.2 is impossible.


Our Malaysian culture and our brought up are built upon American Pie Media (stupid ones that teaches us fornication is good, big breast is good, big penis is also good, being cool is to be a pretty face and sleep with as many girls you can, write all their names down and count them before you go to bed, it just make you feel like Lion King, by all means, this things aren't mind building), special rights some of us don't have, why do we have to study so hard, why is their a moral subject at the first place, why do we have to study 10 subjects in high school and why is that the local blog with the most readers is Kennysia.


If you ever want your children to grow up an intellect, the first movie you have to show them is a documentary explaining why Hitler hate Jews. We, Malaysians, everyone, our brought up plays great role in shaping our society. If you feed them with other things THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, you'll have a whole generation of bloggers that goes like:


The fucking cibai ah pek cut my queue, you think you are ah pek then you can cut my queue, if you are younger I would have spit on your cibai bin.


Intellectualism anyone?

Perodua Kambing




This is what they did to Perodua Kelisa. I know it happened sometime ago and it's not new but you know I don't say anything until I'm sure.

Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has come under attack in the Malaysian parliament last week for labelling one of the country's cars the worst in the world.

The BBC presenter has been filmed attacking the Perodua Kelisa with a sledgehammer before blowing it up.

And on the show, he described it as "unimaginative junk, with no soul, no flair and no passion".

I somewhat agree with him!

He also calls Perodua Kelisa a fridge. Wait till he sees Proton Juara, the coffin car.

But it is truth, that our Perodua Kelisa has never received a single complaint from the British.

And I think I know why........

Where on earth, can you spend only 5000 euro to buy something that look so alike to the MR BEAN CAR!


Beanmini!






The Kelisa Reflecto



And with a little bit of photoshop, Kelisa don't have to be an "unimaginative junk, with no soul, no flair and no passion". It can look kinda cool.





So why not drive a Kelisa. If you can't afford to buy the best car in the world, as least have the privilege to drive the worst.


But one thing uncreative about Perodua is how they name the cars. Seriously, they have Perodua Kelisa, Kenari, Kancil, Kembara and it makes you wonder sometimes what would the next name be if they insist on the 'K'.









Perodua Kambing - We've got the 'K'

Nuffnagees VS Advertletser (whichever rock your pants)

Malaysia is a high end competitive country, even when most of your would like to disagree with me, you can't say I'm wrong when I tell you....



When there is a Proton, a Perodua came along





And when there is a MAS, Airasia joined the club






And now, when everybody knows there is a NuffNang, the Asia's First Online Blog Advertising Community, we have a new copycat------ Advertlets! Launched almost at the same time, Advertlets serves as the second Malaysian based online advertising thing. You bet, I don't like it!


That's mainly because I being an attractive and artistic boy prefer authenticity more than ........ imitations. Watch this.....





Nuffnang- Asia's first Blog Advertising Community
(click to enlarge)





Advertlets- Asia's better blog advertising network, what the fuck?

Seriously, you can be competing with each other, that's not a problem, but do you have to show it out in your slogan itself?


As if that's not enough, when Nuffnang has...

Advertlets also came up with...

One thing for sure, not all bloggers in Malaysia or anywhere else can enjoy advertlets. I took my advertlets code off instantly after I found this comparison chart on the advertlets site itself.






I say this because Advertlets requires a minimum of 100 unique visitors per day per blog in order to count you in as part of their community. Honestly, I think I'm a good blogger but the average unique hits I have each day is only 50++ . So I am automatically disqualified for advertlets. Where else Nuffnang only requires 20 unique clicks per day per blog which is rather relevant. And the Minimum payout amount. Come on....


You double the required minimum payout and 5x the minimum unique visitors while still claiming to be the Better Blog Advertising Community...... Well not all bloggers can afford to join your network.


It's like me saying, I am overweight and ugly but I'm still far more attractive then Edison Chen. (am I, am I?)


One more thing, advertlets poll is ugly.




*Don't be fooled by the Rm15000 for 300 bloggers skim, the minimum cash out amount is when your account balance reaches RM200. So even if you are lucky to get that Rm50, you still have to add up the remaining Rm150 until they have to pay you. In that case, they don't have to pay you instantly and if you never add up to Rm200, you'll never get your money. They expect thousands of people to sign up and review them, get free publicity while only need to pay 300 of them Rm50 indefinitely depending to when their account balanced up to Rm200. What good marketing strategy, I'm gonna open up an internet business soon.


WHOEVER WANTS TO FEATURE IN MY BLOG, RM20 AND I'LL BLOG YOU, DEAL OR NO DEAL?



Yeah I'm cheap, don't remind me that.



*Advertlets supporters, please don't hate me, it's just blogging!
