Merdeka One Million Contest

I still remember a year ago when my friend, Boon, told me about TM’s Merdeka One Million Contest. He had a lot of time to surf the internet as he was so sick he was almost bed-ridden and yet optimistic enough to participate in the contest with the hopes of winning a million Ringgit.

In the blink of an eye, he has passed away one year this coming August and the Merdeka One Million Contest is back on. I wish he was still alive so that we can both participate together. So this year, I am going to participate alone but I am not as optimistic as him. He enters to win. I enter to make up the number. That’s how different we are.

I don’t even remember if a winner was declared in the previous round last year. Was there a millionaire from that contest? Who was he or she? What sort of lifestyle is he/she living now? I have participated in many a contest that never ever announced the winners and then everyone forgets about it as the new one rolls around.

I am so pessimistic even of winning a minor consolation prize that I wonder if it is not a waste of time for me to crack my head over the slogan. Urghhh I am very bad in creative writing!

Mac Poker Online

My friend just loves playing poker but the problem is he is using a Mac machine and he could hardly find anything that is not Windows based. He told me of his problem knowing that I surf the internet a lot so I promised I would look into it for him and actually found Mac Poker. This is a website dedicated to Poker für Mac, just as well because there ARE many poker players who prefer to use Mac.

Mac Poker Online is actually a directory of everything poker. It reviews the various poker sites and also list out poker bonus given out from each site. This makes it so easy for poker fans to get the information from one website without checking the various sites.

Knowing the online casino bonuses beforehand would be very helpful because the amount and the percentage various with each site and it could be pretty confusing. My friend also found the FullTilt Poker and Pacific Poker reviews most helpful.

Serious poker players should check out Mac Poker Online for the latest news and views on poker on the internet for Macs.

So That’s What He’s Called!

This morning, I was surfing the internet for information on dog breeds when I came across The Dog Guide. I was helping my cousin with his homework and he was asked to identify the various dog breeds on his work book. One of the breeds was the Basset Hound.

My cousin was very surprised to know the real name of the basset hound because he has always referred to it as Hush Puppy! What did they say again about the power of marketing??

I have friends who are keeping basset hounds so I guess I will have to introduce my cousin to them! My friends told me that they have quite a bit of trouble taking care of the ears of the basset hound because they are too large and are always damp, especially during the rainy season.

I think basset hounds are cute but I definitely have enough on my hands to keep one more dog no matter how cute they are!

Save More Money and Make More Money

I stumbled upon this blog called MoreMerchant.com, an almost two year old blog, while I was blog hopping. As you know, I have been trying to raise the page rank of my blogs so I do take any tips that are given out generously on blogs like these to heart.

MoreMerchant.com guides us to Save More Money and Make More Money. Some of the topics covered include how to make some money online. Well, we have heard it is possible but not many people will disclose the secret of making big money on the internet. MoreMerchant.com has such useful and informative articles now and then, like how to make money from affiliate marketing or finding success with Text Link Ads. If you look at my sidebar, I too have just implemented Text Link Ads after reading the post on MoreMerchant.com and hope to find a little success with it.

MoreMerchant author, Jake, is very experienced in earning money online since 1997 and I find his articles very insightful. He also lets us know how to effectively link bait and he will also do it if we send him something with the URL of our site that he could write about on his blog! Besides that, he guides us on how to be a better blogger. Boy, do I need that knowledge!

While these are all ways that could help us earn more money online, Jake says that earning alone is not enough as it must go hand in hand with saving money which he also covers extensively in Save Money category.

I have gained some knowledge on MoreMerchant so far and look forward to more useful posts that I could apply on my own blogging and online money making ventures!

I Sure Need This $$$

Just when I thought I am all blogged out, I wake up to news that some crazy dude is giving away $2500 cold hard cash. People who really read my blogs would know that I am always short of money, not because I do not manage my money well, but that’s the problem of my parents that I have to bear. So …

Over at Ashwin’s blog, you will find one crazy blog owner!! You can win $2500!! To enter just copy this text and paste it in your blog!! But hurry, this competition will not last long! So get posting!

Firstly, the contest is set to end on 20th August. Year is not stated so I hope it is 2007. Currency is not stated either. Hopefully it’s US$ and not Yen or Rupiah. Anyway, may the person with the most luck win!

P/S: 24th August, 2007: The link has been updated to point to another site after this contest has been found to be crap.

Another chance to BITE KATE!

I am posting this first and editing it later to add the trackback when she wakes up and post her twice weekly Bite Me post.

This time I want to bite her real hard because I just read her Phone Porn post and am absolutely jealous already! The Samsung U740 (sounds like a submarine haha!) is just too lovely. Why oh why is technology so cruel? I just bought my Nokia E61i exactly a month ago and have not been too happy with it.

If you know where I write, you would know the problems I have been facing. Lousy speaker, heat, flashing screen and also dropping 3G signal; I know this has nothing to do with the phone, but I just like to rant here, kenot meh?

Gggrrrr *pull hair*

Gggrrr *bang head*

Gggrrr *stamp feet*

Gggrrr *going insane*

The Samsung fits my palm real nice while the Nokia is a tad too bulky because of its QWERTY keyboard. Want to sell my Nokia! Who wants????

Achieving A More Beautiful Smile

I believe the dentist is one of the most feared men. I get all jelly-kneed just going there but I do want to keep a beautiful set of teeth so I force myself there every six months but that does not mean that I like to be there. My perspective changed when I found a very friendly and caring dentist who understands all my unreasonable fears and provides me with all the options that are available to me.

I told my sister about the local dentist but my sister told me to check out one of the Beverly Hills dentists instead, by the name of Dr. Maddahi. To say the least, I am impressed with Dr. Maddahi’s website. It is very classy and does not look like the website of a dentist. At least the homepage does not! Hahah!

Browsing through the website, I am further impressed with the dental works that could be performed so that every one could enjoy a beautiful smile. I certainly do know of people who are seriously in need of dental implants and while we have thought that it is painful and expensive, looking at these Before & After photos make us think that it is worth the trouble.

Really, I am beginning to think that there are many things that could be done on my own teeth to achieve a more beautiful smile.
