No I.C.

Leave a comment

Hah… this is a local joke that non-Malaysians probably would not understand. Suddenly I feel like writing in Malay. It has been just a long time since I used it’s rusty already. Anyway, really I.C. the way P-Rs of blogs continue to fall even today. What round is it now? Is it sixth since early October?

It’s kinda ironic that in the beginning of the year, everyone could not wait getting a little green on their toolbar and now that there’s a little movement but with negative impact! Eeekkk!!!

Real Rank is great in an ideal world but then when you are competing for opps against other bloggers who are gaming the system, you will eventually be left with nothing.

So if you are thinking of starting a blog now, I think you are better of getting a real job than blogging! The good times are over!

Purchasing A Pre-Owned Car Without Hassle

Leave a comment

I am sure most of us who have bought pre-owned cars before have faced the problem of buying one that is not up to our expectation and it’s not that we did not do enough research!

There is a company that sells Used Cars Victoria, Texas-based that has a team of experts to check their range of pre-owned cars first before reselling. This means that when we buy from them, we do not have to worry about getting a sub-standard pre-owned car.

Quality Auto Group not only accepts trade in of used cars but also buy used cars from owners even if they do not make a purchase from Quality Auto Group. Perhaps the owner just wants to sell a car or buy a new car.

Quality Auto Group also ensures that buying a used car is as easy as can be without going through hassle or red tape thanks to their prequalified feature.

A True Greek Experience

Leave a comment

Have you ever considered a holiday in Greece? I have but unfortunately, I never see that plan through! If you are thinking of a Greek holiday yourself too, you should check out FantasticGreece.com. Plan your holiday with the expert help of local Greeks who know the country, places of interests, the people and culture like the back of their hand.

If you think that going to Greece would bust your budget, you should check the prices here. Don’t worry, navigating the site is very easy. I was surprised that a Greek vacation could be so affordable and would not bust our holiday budget too. I have always thought that it would be expensive being so far away but I was wrong!

Unlike other travel agencies who are offering vacation packages to Greece, FantasticGreece is based in Greece and are run by locals so you can be sure to receive a true Greek experience.

Now that I know Greece a little better from my research online, Greece is now high up in my places to visit!

Gmail Launches Group Chat

Leave a comment

This morning, I noticed that Gmail’s chat system has group chat feature now. Some people would call that “Conversation”. Unfortunately, I have set my chats to not sign in automatically because I am always too busy to chat. Another new feature they added is the rich smiley – with faces and everything.

Well, like I said, I no longer use chat anywhere so I can test this out. Even when I was using Gmail’s chat in my inbox, I was finding it distracting until I ended up taking way too much time just to reply a couple of emails.

It’s not only about Gmail chat, though. I have retired from chatting online for a couple of years now and some people even thought something has happened to me and they wanted to report to the police. Haha!

They could always reach me by phone. If you are so inclined, try out Gmail’s group chat and see if it’s comparable to other instant messaging systems.

Neuropathy Solutions

Leave a comment

I believe that as we grow older, we are more aware of our health. Although medicine is so advanced now that people are living longer, it does not mean that they are living healthily. I used to live with my grandparents and I have seen how they had to put up with small health concerns even though they were generally healthy.

My grandparents from both sides of the family suffered from diabetes and I know how they suffered silently from peripheral neuropathy. It’s a sort of numbness in their hands and feet. Sometimes it’s way more painful than that!

About a month ago, I read about Neuropathy Solutions and how people who went on this shown marked improvement the longer they included this in their diet. Neuropathy Solutions was formulated after an extensive research on all the studies that was done on relieving neuropathy, and picking the five best nutrients to combine into one solution.

If my grandparents were still alive, I would have recommended this to them.

I’m Not A Food Blogger

Leave a comment

It’s kinda weird that unlike other bloggers who would capture photos of whatever “good food” they ordered, I always forget despite carrying a camera and a camera phone with me. I know that if food bloggers missed the chance of taking shots of their dishes, that would be like they have committed a sin or something 😀

Although I do would like to take photos of my dishes as well, like yesterday’s curry laksa and fried rice, both signature dishes, I only remembered after digging in and by then it’s too late because the food arrangement has been spoilt. Bah!

Then there are times that I am with non-bloggers and they would certainly never understand the “need” to shoot those food pix before they are allowed to dig in. Haha!

Talking about food, I need to go on diet now! I’ve heard one too many times people commenting, “Yerrrr, so fat already!” Hahaha!

Exhibition: First Emperor: China’s Terracotta Army

Leave a comment

If you are visiting London anytime from now until April, 2008, then you must check out the interesting exhibition that is being held at the British Museum of China’s first emperor and the terracotta army titled The First Emperor Exhibition: China’s Terracotta Warriors

London, as always, is jam-packed with tourists and locals and with a raving exhibition going on like this, if you are heading that way and would like to attend this exhibition of China’s first emperor, you will have to plan ahead and make accommodation and ticket reservations.

Superbreak is a company that specializes in short breaks whether it’s for a cultural show, concert, exhibition, theater or even shopping.

For this exhibition of China’s first emperor, they are offering a very attractive hotel and ticket package that includes hotel accommodation in London and an entrance ticket to the exhibition. I think that Superbreak is best for people who are running on a tight schedule and yet would like to pack in as many activities into their lives as possible.
