Yes, Yes, I know my blog looks crappy. But it’s getting there…

This is what happens when you don’t update WordPress for years. I’ve just updated it to the latest version. If it looks crappy on your screen, it’s probably because it DOES look crappy right now I’m working on it even as you read this! If all goes well, I’ll get my new look sorted out soon and HWA will have ...

Withdraw PayPal Funds To Malaysian Bank Accounts Directly

Well, shows you how out of touch I am with what’s happening online. I usually leave my PayPal funds until I need a little bit of extra cash (I know… I know… they say it’s not a good thing to leave your money in PayPal…) so it was a surprise when I logged in to find that they allow direct ...

Planet Pulse Demonstrates The Art Of Pissing People Off

I received this survey invitation from Planet Pulse. A couple of years ago, I won a Cybershot Camera because I participated in a Honda contest. The camera was good. Honda was good. So I figured freebies from Honda just to participate in a survey was a good thing. Wrong. Well, actually, I don’t know if the survey was good, but ...

H1N1 – It’s Up To Us

It’s up to us to make sure our children and families don’t get infected. Weeks ago, I began to get concerned and I thought I was bordering on paranoia. Not anymore. My kids wear masks ...

Our Little Eat-At-Home Experiment

Image via : Papa Razzi1 My family and I decided to carry out and experiment over August and September. We did this because every year without fail, our customer base dips beginning September. I don’t know why – maybe it’s the weather, maybe people just don’t like eating in September, maybe there are lots of holidays in September. Whatever the ...

Well Naughty Me… Look What’s Up?

Phew… I Made It Through The Seventh Month

Image from : Le Silly The Chinese Hungry Ghost Month usually falls in the month of August. As a Christian, this is not supposed to be of any significance to me, but let me share my experience with you. On the eve of Merdeka seven years ago in 2001, while we were on our way home from the mall, I ...

We are Warisan Malaysia

Every August, my kids will come home singing Merdeka songs that they learnt in school. Sara came home one day and asked if I could find the lyrics to the song “Warisan” written by Sudirman Hj. Arshad who in my opinion is the greatest Malaysian lyricist. Anyway, after downloading the song and playing it, my mind immediately recalled this beautiful, ...

2 Ugly Durians And The Permatang Pauh By Election

Well, well, well, looks like the folks in Permatang Pauh have set us on a journey into the unknown. By electing Anwar Ibrahim back into Parliament, we should at the very least expect the opposition (with any luck they will be the ruling party soon) to be a much stronger force to be reckoned with. I’ve been meaning to write ...

Clickbank Accepts Malaysian Accounts (Better Late Than Never)

Well, time seems to be slipping through my fingers lately. Been so busy with our home based catering business and backend work on my other sites that I missed a really big piece of news. It would seem that Clickbank now accepts Malaysian accounts. I was browsing some local sites when I happened to scroll over a banner. Usually, I ...
