Unable To Submit!

This afternoon, I was so pissed off as I was unable to submit my post to one of those marketplaces. You know, sometimes these systems are really f@rked. I know that I did copy and past the mark exactly as requested but still I was thrown error after error. Heck, after blogging for them for more than a year, I do know what I am doing!

I did try over and over again foe more than ten times, I finally gave up and wrote in to support. In retrospect, I think that I should just have rejected my offer and trashed m post. I think I read somewhere before that they are unable to manually submit a post and we would have to do it exactly as the system wanted us to.

it’s all fine and good but it’s technology and you know that we cannot depend on technology entirely, don’t you? I could hardly spare the time to back track over and over again and in the end, I just decided to move on. Like I said, I retrospect, I should have trashed my opportunity and remove my post so that at least I could salvage my two interims. Now, if I end up not getting compensation for this post, I would have to remove it and I will end up having four interims, way more than I would like.

I still have about 14 hours before the odder expires and if I don’t hear from Support and there is no solution for me, I will be very crossed. Why should I not be when I am only compensated $5 for three posts?

Bathroom Remodeling

If you are familiar with Malaysian cookie cutter homes then you would know that our shower cubicles and bathrooms are very basic. Those who could afford it would have renovated them upon purchase of the house but most of us “make do” until at least after we have finished paying off our mortgage.

I was talking to y parents the other day that it is high time we did a little remodeling to our home. This idea came about after viewing photographs of my sister’s home in the United States and I really would like to have a Western style bathroom that is as large as a small room! On top of that, I have been inspired by the renovation work that my cousin discussed with me on her home in London.

I did a little online research and sought out the website of True Shopping, a site my cousin mentioned that we could be high quality shower enclosures at very reasonable prices. My cousin did mention that she has her eye on one of the shower enclosures here as they provide free shipping to mainland United Kingdom on orders above £50.00 and that is a lot of savings that could be gained!

Both my sister and cousin told me that it is fun to remodel their bathrooms and they took the chance to really splash on bathroom accessories. I tell you, nowadays, people use their bathrooms for more than just bathing, judging by the time, money and attention that are spent on making the little room as luxurious as possible!

iPhone Wallpaper Website On Hold

I mentioned that I wanted to start a website for people to download Apple iPhone wallpaper for free. Well, I even got a domain name for it and started a blog on a sub-domain. Unfortunately, I can hardly spare the time to set it up.

The first thing I always do when launching a new website or blog is to look for a good template. For an iPhone wallpaper download site, I would needs something like an online photo gallery where people would be able to browse through these wallpapers comfortably without too mc scrolling and clicking. I don’t even know where to look for such a template. I did spend a little time searching not too long ago but there was nothing that I like.

Whatever the case, it has been put on hold indefinitely. I just hope that it will not take me longer than a year to get started. You know I finally only managed to set up my personal website after one long yet? I’ve got a history for that! LOL

Bulk Fresh Wedding Flowers

My friend, Grace, was supposed to help her sister order fresh flowers in bulk for her wedding. And guess what? Grace forgot all about her new task and only remembered it at the last minute. By then, the florist had to decline her order as they would not be able to deliver bulk wedding flowers at such a short notice.

Well, I told Grace about Fifty Flowers who would be able to deliver fresh flowers over night especially for weddings. Heck, they are the experts when it comes to such important events like weddings and parties where fresh flowers are required.

Grace, of course, will be placing an order quietly without her sister’s knowledge. Grace may have agreed to buy bulk wedding flowers but she never did say where she will buy them from! I believe that her sister will not mind, as long as there are fresh flowers to grace her wedding reception!

Are You Ready To Vote In The Malaysia’s 12th General Election?

Malaysians who are registered voters will go to the polls on March 8th, 2008. Are you ready? Are you ALREADY registered as a voter? If you are not, I guess it is too late to register now. Why la wait till the last minute? You KNOW that you vote, every vote counts and it is your birth right to choose the people’s representative in your constituency.

Every General Election has interesting turns of events. There will be giant killers, there will be unexpected wins and losses. Who will win and who will lose? It’s all up to use to decide. Sure you may think that your one vote is just a drop in the bucket but imagine, a vote here and a vote there eventually adds up.

I may not be a political blogger but I do follow Malaysian politics closely and come from a very politically aware family. Heck, nowadays, wherever you go, I am sure your will be sucked into a kopishop political debate.

No matter who your favorite candidates are, that is supposed to be a secret so vote smartly, vote for the person who can DO something for you. Don’t only vote for the leng chais and leng luis la, OK?

The Wrangler National Finals Rodeo

Some months back, I wrote a post on the Houston Rodeo and how my sister invited me to go watch it with her. That post received a warm reception from readers who all encouraged me to go because it would be a lifetime experience. Unfortunately, my sister has not been feeling very well and so I am not even sure if my trip is still ON.

So my sister said, if we do miss that, the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo which will be held in December, would be a good show to watch instead. Of course, I would prefer to watch Bon Jovi in concert that will be playing in Tennessee, my sister’s home city, BUT my sister is adamant to introduce rodeo to me. She has been to one a year ago when her fiancé received a pair of NFR Tickets at a company raffle.

Since then, my sister has been saying that I should watch it because it is very interesting and exciting and certainly nothing that I have ever seen before. I have been to quite a number of sporting events before but definitely not rodeo and I am so looking forward to my first show.

And to have the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, which is also known as the Super Bowl of Rodeo, as my first ever rodeo show would be awesome!

Passion Blogs Neglected

I have spent the whole week blogging and blogging but the thing is, I am not blogging on my passion blogs and I feel so bad about it because on my passion blogs, although there is no pressure to update them, I do have very loyal readers who come for a good read because there are no advertisements on them, some do not even have AdSense and believe me, they load so fast, faster than blogs with AdSense and worse, blogs that have local ad block codes, ITK and other java scripts.

Each time I am busy like this and do not have the time to blog on my passion blogs, it is hard to build it up again, the readership and the rapport. I am sure I am not the only one feeling so but what I don’t understand is how some people are able to keep almost a hundred blogs and websites and still going strong? No need to sleep ar?

As for me, I wake up at six in the morning and by lunch time at 2pm, I have already put in a solid eight hours of work. This is the average number of hours an office worker puts in a day, isn’t it? And then I continue putting in a few hours here and there until about 10pm where I will sit at the computer until my work for the day is done and by then, it could be 4am or so.

Please tell me I am NOT going to kill myself!
