What Do You Think Of Yahoo’s Rejection of Microsoft’s Bid?

Leave a comment

I know this is stale news but I wanted to write it for a long time now but just never been able to put thoughts to words. While Yahoo! has their own reasons why this bid was rejected, I was rather looking for ward to it. Mainly, it will be fresh and I am sure webmasters like myself would have looked forward to new products that could help us make more money online.

And it is also high time for Yahoo! to open their Network advertisement program to the rest of the world. Hey, there are many quality sites outside of the United States, you know?

Now that this merger proposal has been rejected, there is nothing to look forward to to counter that Big G’s weight and size. I believe that a co-operation between Yahoo! and Microsoft would have done it.

Getting A Bad Credit Card Loan

It’s no longer surprising that more and more people have bad credit rating. And this group of people is getting younger and younger as well. Some will put it down to lifestyle and some will put it down to mismanagement of finances. Whatever it is, if you have bad credit rating, it always will be held against you because you are considered a high risk to lenders.

Smorty Has A Forum & Blog Now

2 Comments

Did you know that Smorty has a forum and blog now? I am fine with blogs but I don’t like forums, especially forums of money making sites. We all know about all the bitching in TigaP forum and how most of the problems stemmed from jealousy. That’s why I never participate in forums like these. Heck, I have RETIRED from forumming ages ago, way before I even started blogging. Basically, forums are places where people who are looking for a fight go to because they do not have anything else better to do.

Anyway, if you do not know about it yet, check it out. You can sign in to the forum with your regular Smorty user ID and password.

Oh yea, while you are logged into Smorty, perhaps you want to select an image for your avatar. I wanted to change mine but the ready made avatars do not have a female version so I left mine blank, until I could find another image to use.

Basically, I don’t care for all these. All I want are offers!! GIMME OFFERS!!!

People Leaving For The Suburbs

Leave a comment

Just now, I read this article that says People leaving for the suburbs in London and I have to agree. I have a cousin sister and friends who are working in London and they all tell me they prefer to buy a house in the suburbs.

According to my friend, Sitt, mortgages in the suburbs are way lower compared to London housing and according to this article, every kilometre that a person has to travel out of London will shave a thousand British Pounds off property prices.

Also, the farther homes are away from London City, and yet within traveling distance by commuter lines, the better the quality of life is. When parents want to raise a family, they will prefer to do so in the suburbs.

Personally, I prefer to live in the city but was told that living in London City is not cheap at all!

Chinese New Year Officially Over

Leave a comment

It’s now the 16th day of the Chinese Lunar calendar hence it means that Chinese New Year is officially over. Nope, nobody will be giving away “lei see” anymore. Boy, don’t THEY wish that it was over sooner? There will be no more “big drink, big eat” and most of all, there will be no more gambling! Chinese people are addicted to gambling.

There will also be no more open houses and visiting. I don’t like Chinese New Year because everyone seems so fake. The only things I like are the red packets but the number of packets is getting smaller year by year.

Anyway, my friend wished me “HappyChap Goh Meh” earlier in the evening and I was surprised. I spent the better part of the New Year working and didn’t even realise that it was going to end soon. Besides, there aren’t many Hokkien families here so the 15th is like a normal day for my neighbours and I.

Music Nation

Leave a comment

I came across this free music website that would be a great place for aspiring musicians to get the much needed exposure. Music Nation allows members to submit music files and videos to share with other members who then either rate up or down depending on their personal preference.

There is a jukebox in Music Nation that allows you to stream your favorite music. The more popular a particular track receives, the more airplay it gets. And the best thing about submitting your original music to Music Nation is the chance to be discovered. I know there are many raw talents out there and so do Music Nation. Because of this, Music Nation has teamed up with Epic Records to offer a recording contract to the best music artistes.

I think that this is a great chance for amateurs to get noticed and win a possible contract. In Music Nation, talent and creativity will be the main ingredients of success, not whom we know or the cables we pull!

The Wedding Planner

Leave a comment

Valentine’s Day was a really busy time for many of my friends who chose to get married on Valentine’s Day. Yea, it is a very significant day for love birds. According to my friend, one of the brides, she spent weeks planning her wedding with the help of her family.

For those who have married before, Wedding Planning can be very stressful for people who do not have the experience. Of course, most brides do not have this experience but by using the free wedding planning tools on The Wedding Channel, brides are more confident in planning their wedding and making it a smooth and memorable lifetime experience.

My friend told me that it was a daunting task at first but she was guided by articles on the site and managed to calm her nerves making her wedding the talk among her friends.

If you are getting married, I think that being hands-on is the best. Plan your wedding well with the help of the Wedding Channel and you will never go wrong.
