Some of you might have notice something when you go to irenelaw.com these few days. You are no longer redirected to my blog instead you are welcomed by a splash page. OK… I did mention something about doing something on this domain name the other day. So… Here it is. I will tell you what I’m doing with this.

I know many people are linking to me with this domain name, irenelaw.com, after I bought it last year because it’s easier to remember compare to sweetsurrender.99.com.my. However, for all those make money programs that I’m joining, I’m using sweetsurrender.99.com.my instead of irenelaw.com because they don’t recognise irenelaw.com.

Actually irenelaw.com has a PR3! I used this to start my PPP but after changing server then something not quite right happened because of this redirecting thing and caused quite a havoc with my PPP postings and RSS. Good thing sweetsurrender.99.com.my has the same PR except different Alexa ranking, way higher than irenelaw.com. Phew… Luckily they approved this one and they let me changed my posts URL too. If I only stick to one domain(sweetsurrender.99.com.my) all these while, I’m sure my PR for this address will have much higher PR because everyone is linking to the same domain.

WAIT! There is no need to change the link if you are linking to me with irenelaw.com. You can still access this blog from irenelaw.com. My Alexa ranking for irenelaw.com is not as good as sweetsurrender.99.com.my because of the redirecting. That’s why I decided to do an invidual page for it to improve my Alexa(Just testing… Not sure it works or not).

For the time being, irenelaw.com will be a page that have links to this blog, to my other blogs(yes… I have more than one blog hahaha…), to my online stores and my affiliate programs. In the future, I will have a blog in irenelaw.com. The new blog will be up when I start my new phase of life. I have no idea when will it be. One day… Some day… Or when I have an idea on what kind of blog to set up. Don’t worry, this blog will still stay. Of course la! I’m working so hard to build the reputation of this blog how can just let it die like that? Cannot! No way! I’m not stupid! High PR, high ranking Alexa, high traffic all these mean more MONEY! DUH~

I must maintain and keep this domain name. It’s my name ok? It’s so hard to secure this name, .com summore! It’s really my luck that this name is still available! I didn’t even register it after knowing that it’s available instead of taking my sweet sweet time to consider about it. How stupid was that? Luckily… No one grabbed it before me. There are so many Irene Law in this world and even a lawyer in Hong Kong has the same name as me! I must keep this domain! Branding… it’s all about branding! Blog is all about branding. Even “lawirene” is so hard to secure nowadays! At least I know this name is already taken by other people in Blogger, Gmail and Multiply. I manage to secure them in Yahoo! and Hotmail, phew… That’s because I registered them donkey years ago, when I was first introduced to the world of Internet. EK! *SMACK HEAD* Now everyone knows my e-mails -.-”

Thanks to everyone that exchange link with me 🙂 I need more linky love… Please… 😛 Hehehe…

Maxis 3G In Kuching

Posted on By sweet surrender 15 Comments on Maxis 3G In Kuching

Oh… If you guys sometimes do strike up a chat session with me in Gmail and I didn’t entertain you, please don’t hate or think that I ignore you. Once I logged in my Gmail, I usually will just let it there without closing the window and not bothering to change my status in there because I’m don’t bother about the chat function hahaha… So if you did send a chat to me, I won’t know unless it happens that I go to check my mail. Just to let you know 🙂

I’m sure many of you know that Maxis 3G is here in Kuching now. Previously only Celcom, now Maxis is in. When will be DiGi turn? To promote this new service of Maxis, they have a mini exhibition at Tun Jugah. I went there yesterday night. Not sure how long it will last.


You can find out more on what 3G can do for you there.


You’ll be given a card and several brochures by the promoters when you are there. The card is for you to explore the stations at the exhibition. There are 4 stations(or 5… Forgot :P), when you are in each station, they will show you what you can do with Maxis 3G. You can play games, watch TV, monitor your home with your mobile phone and what else? Hehehe… I didn’t really pay attention to it 😛 I’m sure you can learn more from Maxis. Just to let you know that, this Maxis is not related to the Maxis that develop the game called The Sims. Hehehe… That’s one of my favourite games. However, you can play this Maxis game with Maxis 3G 😛 Got confused already?

After station hopping, you will need to fill in your particulars in the card and then they will give you a free gift. Guess what? It’s a PEN(photo on the right)! 😛 Hahaha…

Here are some details about Maxis 3G in Kuching from The Borneo Post:

Maxis 3G is backed by Maxis high speed EDGE network which covers 69.7 per cent of Kuching. The City currently has 90.5 per cent 2G coverage, and 3G is three times faster than EDGE and six times faster than GPRS.

Kuching is now totally covered by Maxis high speed network and its coverage encompasses more than half of the city. The areas covered included Petra Jaya, Pending Industrial Area, the town centre (Padungan and commercial hub), Batu Tiga and Tabuan.

TOWN?!!?!? We are downgraded to TOWN now. Ah well…

Raspberry Fruit Bake, Fox’s Classic, Hotel Chocolat – Dark Champagne Truffles, Hotel Chocolat – Rice Ganache With Vanilla

Hehehe… It’s been a while no chocolate update 😛 Now let me introduce Zesty Praline Squares to you. When you see the word “zesty”, the first thing comes to you must be something related to orange, lime or lemon. It’s not all sweet, you can feel the zest in there.

The descriptions on the pack is enough to tell you what is it, “nibbly praline with tiny pieces of almond nougetine and zesty orange”.

Do I need to say more? Hehehe… I ate so slowly until the whole thing melted on my fingers. By the way, it’s another guest recipe from Hotel Chocolat.
