Well, there you see, i’m kind of interested on making money online. So after lots and lots of research and observation that i’ve made, Affiliate Marketing are the thing that i would like to concentrate first.

Today, 19/11/2008, i have enrolled into Ewen Chia’s Super Affiliate Marketing Membership site. (snap shop above) I didn’t have the chance to browse through but looking at it at a glance, i saw many links and wording that says and recommend me to upgrade or subscribe for a price.

Well, i think that is what is meant by internet marketing, leverage at all cost. I am still downloading the materials (e-book) on this website and got to find some times to read it. Hopefully it is a useful information for me.

The lifetime membership for Ewen Chia’s Super Affiliate Marketing Membership site is USD9.97. I think it is a good bargain here from a well known experts in the internet marketing.

So…i will try to update on what’s do this site have to give. (the contents i mean)

Just my thoughts;

What a life,

A life that is sometimes miserable to understand,

But nice if understood,

May the people around me judges me on the outer part,

But they lack on the inner of me,

Only God knows what’s inside my heart,

For my Family is the closest to my heart,

People tends to see the bad reflection,

Even you have thousands of good deeds to people,

Oh God….help me please!

Oh…What a life!

I received the Friends catalog from IKEA today, but i’m not going to talk about it. What I’m impressed most is this Home Planner Software develop by IKEA. What can you becoming An Interior Designer with it??

Of course you can design your own house interior, with this software, it feels like youre’ an interior designer of your own house. We have use it now literally exploring what this software could do…nothing much that we can give the feedbacks now. My wife especially likes to ponder around and exploring every tab of it.

From kitchen to rooms wardrobe, just design it to your likes and preferrences.

Actually, i just want to make a confession, my wife and i bought a house in Jenderam Hilir, its a 10 minutes drive to office and 7 minutes to Alamanda Putrajaya. Hehe…just wanna tell you that even though the loan submission haven’t reach its approval yet. But we have behave ourselves like the loan have been approve. Pray to god that the loan will be approved.

Just go to IKEA website and download this home planner software for free.

My wife bought this….Shes said that she is having difficulties while cleaning the unreacheble place on the every edge of the house….Feedback??? Very powerfull…..the shuhhhhh sound is great.

Another picture of my wife unwrapping the DUSTBUSTER…Well, it’s a Black n Decker.

Something in life we might not be able to do it alone, in that case we really need some assistance which is handy at times….so DUSTBUSTER is the answer for house cleaning chores.!!!

I feel that my productivity in office diminished over the hours especially in the evening. Saying that everyone is still energize yet i’m the vice-versa. Thats why during my peak performance which is in the morning, i tried to do the hard thinking task at the office and down to those housekeeping work in the evening. etc- signing out memos, writing letter with ready made templates etc etc.

I find that some of my colleagues are very energetic and can even stayback late at night and reaching home at about 10 to 12 pm. Wow…..this is the example of breaking the dimisnihing law of economics.

However, for me, there are many thing despite work that i have to look after, my son, wife and my family is the main priority. Others, i would say have their own strategy in prioritizing their needs. Some of them do not prioritize at all and ended up buried in the tension mood.

What do you guys prefer?? to prioritize your matters or just let it be on the happy go lucky way!?

Again, my wife, Nik Arshad and I went to Penang last Friday to meet my parents. We’re heading after work hours and that means  i drove at night. We leave at about 8.30pm, negotiating with traffic jams as people are going and coming back to work or having some other important things that they have to attend.

Well, it takes about 4 hours of journey from PJ to Penang and you might want to have at least 3 pit stops. For me, this pit stop rejuvenates me as I’m driving on a long haul trips.

Nothing much happened in Penang, despite having my favorite dishes of Nasi Kandar and some fun at my parents’ house is indeed something joyful to cherished.

On Saturday morning (8/11/08), i went out for a car wash and had a breakfast at this sideline mamak stall along “Jalan Transfer”, having one of my favorite “roti bakar telur 1/2 masak”= Toested Bread with 1/2 boiled egg”; correct me if i’m wrong. Having it with teh tarik…what a wonderful breakfast i said…this is the best thing if you want to talk about Penang.

These pictures are taken from Yusman’s blog, but it is the same thing though.

In the evening, my wife and i went to Gurney Plaza with the intention of window shopping, but we stumbled into an idea of watching movies since we left Nik Arshad back home with our parents. So, i agreed with my wife since she is the one who proposed watching the James Bond Movie, Quantum of Solace.

The part that i like about this movies is, an Alfa Romeo in pursuit with Aston Martin. As usual, Bond drives an Aston and those bad guys drives an Alfa,…ooops there are two Alfas to be exact. Both wrecked by Bond in that movie. One crashed with a lorry heading head to head and the other one slides off in the peak of the mountain. All wrecked made by bond. It is a true action and i like bond’s British accent. Those action lover, i recommend to watch it.

Sunday - (9/11/2008), - Waking up at about 9.30 am, having milo and 2 slices of gardenia bread for my breakfast….no more Jalan Transfer..huhu..At about 12.30 pm, my mom requested me to buy Nasi Kandar again at KAYU Bukit Jambul….hmmm…..it again strikes and make me to imagine the delicacy and yummiest of these NASI KANDAR….what a charm this food had….Sorry though, i forgot to snap a picture of it.

So i went for it, but i had a detour….escaping island to Bukit Mertajam….just for a sight seing …guess what i found; A nice Fiat Marea at the second hand car dealer. I stopped and taking a look at it, there were no sales person as the place closed on sundays…huhu…if not i would have test drive that car. Here are some pictures of it; Very Nice with a plate number of 2222;

Its a Yellowish Pearl Paint…

Rear View

Nice Number Huh…

The Leather Interior…Beige cream, looks exclusive.

Still love my Citroen ZX 1993 park in front of the second hand car dealer.

Ok….time to head home after having a lunch, driving back to PJ from Penang. Surely i will try to give a glimpse of what happening in Penang in my next post; here are some pictures of Nik Arshad and my wife as we headed back home;

Nik Arshad sitting at the rear seat. With his own custom made seat!! (hehe)

My wife and my son.

Well, that’s all of my post tonight, will again write anything about my family in the next post.

“THE STORY ABOUT LIFE BEGINS”

OK, My friend…when we met in Bangkoks says that he doens’t like Obama for his proposed linean policy and using this ethanol as a main source of energy. So i said that this explains that your are a republicans…:)

Well, as a Malaysians, i salute Obama for his victory of being elected the 44th President of The USA and hope that he will adhere to his “change can happen” and being the first African-American for the presidency.

I may not want to analyze nor comments on his outstanding votes that he got, we can get it all over the place for sure. The only thing is that, from the news last night, people all over the world are very much excited with Obama’s result. They were celebrating, dancing and singing like the victory is theirs.!

With that, I congratulate The newly Mr President, Barrack Obama.

I’m having a chat just now,

My collegue were talking about anything that relates to everyone’s interest. But the one that caught everybody is about the personal money.

My Friend (1)

Say that you can cut your debt lifespan if you can pay monthly debt commitment twice a month by dividing your monthly payment . In conventional way, 2 times a month paying your debt would amount up to 24 times of paying a year, but it is not going to happen like that, you are actually paying 26 times a year.!! Great huh?? Thats what my friend says according to the computation of the bank. At the end of the year, your statement could have been recorded 26 times of payment made for that particular year

My Friend (2)

He says that if you have a RM100,000, then you should be able to deposit your money in a Foreign Fixed Deposit for a day and reap its return of about 7 % with CIMB bank….Is it true!!! Where’s my calculator??

Just for poinders….

I was thinking of putting a sum of investment and i mean a pure solid purposes is for investment for my son. But my risk appetite have to be assessed first as to see which are the best with my risk appetite.

I was thinking of putting the money that Nik Arhsad received from relatives and friends into Amanah Saham Didik (ASD). ASD is one of the investment instrument that work more or less like a mutual fund and its selling price remains at RM1. Which is likely a capital protected type of fund. The last year’s return if i’m not mistaken is around 7 to 8 percent.

But for now, i invested in these Mayban Investment linked Fund with an allocation of RM 100 a month. I get both the investment and protection benefit against critical illnesses.

I think i would go for this ASD as they are goin to set up a booth downstairs at my office tomorrow morning. My wife and i had planned to open this ASD account ever since but time is a hindrance for us.

So…as i’m a risk averse type a have a increment of commitments now, i think ASD suit my preference.

Is this a scam? , I went to GIANT Hypermarket at Kelana Jaya and this incident happened to me around last month if i’m not mistaken. I looked at the flyers here hanging that says MILO is RM12.99 compared to usual price of RM15.19. So i took a pack of MILO from its gondola and headed straight to the sales counter and to my surprise that it actually priced at RM15.19 not the RM12.99 as what it says from the receipts printed.

Well, at the same time i bought Nik Arshad’s promils infant milk along with Milo that cost around RM32++. I’m not satisfied, telling again to the cashier that there might be a confusion with the price. The cashier told me to go to the customer services and lodge a complaint as the price tag have been recorded at the sales point and for me to be able to get back any refund i was ask to go to the customer services.

Weird, Confused, Anger with the explanation by the customer services rep. , she says that you can get this price with the condition of “Purchase With Purchase” and must be RM50 and above for me to be entitled for that RM12.99 MILO. What the hell…how should i know, that magic “P.W.P” word is actually “Purchase With Purchase” and i am still not entitled for that discount price due to the fact that my spending do not comply with minimum RM50 expenditure. Helll….there is no wordings at the flyers saying that it must be above RM50??? What a confusion here and weird off course.

Nothing much i could say about it, should i argue on this with the customer service rep? it is a waste of my time. If i were to argue with customer services for say about 20 minutes, i would only get back RM2.20 which is a low value engaging in arguing.

But am i not being a smart consumer?? What if there are 1000 customers happened to be in the same situation like me in a month? Simple calculation might be 1000 x RM2.20 would be RM2200. Isn’t crazy guys!!! Money making out of thin air and confusion.

This is the tactics and indeed a bad marketing tactics made by this genius GIANT hypermarket. Furthermore, i observed Carrefour and TESCO are into this tactics too.

So…if there anything that the consumer could do and my points to ponder is;

1. Is this a fair trade practices for all the hypermarkets concern??

2. Self claiming to yourself to be the lowest price in town but engaging into this bad marketing tactics?

3. Am i overcloud by the grandeur of the modern shopping lifestyles and couldn’t care more about this bad tactics of yours? If there is 1000 or 10000 customers like me?

4. Keep to yourselves and think that we still do not have any strong consumer movement yet as far as i’m concern.
