Kuchingites Or Kuchingnites?

April 19, 2007April 19, 2007 sweet surrender 13 Comments

Secret Recipe will only open tomorrow,20th April.

People! Tell me which one is correct? “Kuchingites” or “Kuchingnites”? I’ve been seeing these two versions everywhere. HELP! I’m getting confused now! I used to use “Kuchingites”, then lately I saw many people using “Kuchingnites”, so… I’m super duper confuse now! Which is the correct one? If there is no definite answer, I guess we will have to end up calling ourselves “Kuching Kia” Hahaha… This one will be 100% correct! 😛 Ok… Seriously… Which one?

This leads me to introduce you to my recent project that I’ve been doing with Jimmy lately and decided that now it’s the time to fully release it to everyone.

Why we started it?
This blog is dedicated solely for money making and Kuching. You can only make money when you have proper content for your blog. If you only want to make money and you don’t have the content, it can’t work. This is because there are rules that you need to obey to make money. Nothing is free.

Since catscity.net has a higher PR compare to this blog, it can make more money. Summore nothing was done to this URL for a while already, it used to be a very high traffic Chinese forum, that’s why it has such high PR. So we decided to put everything about Kuching that we had blogged before into it to make it into an information blog with ratings from us. The write-ups are not the same as the one you see in my blog. This means I have to come out with two versions of write-ups. One for my blog and another one for catscity.net. If I just copy paste my content over, PPP would not approve catscity.net. Therefore, if you go to catscity.net, you will be seeing a non-sponsored post followed by a sponsored post.

It’s not an easy work. We have to find content to put in between the sponsored posts, else PPP won’t approve us at all. I have to update two blogs about the same thing but with different content. So it’s not all about making money, it makes us work extra hard to find things related to Kuching to blog. For the record, I had blogged 10 posts(2 blogs both with their own contents and own sponsored posts) a day within 3 hours, such madness! The post in between the sponsored posts must be of certain standard too. You cannot just dump a video or photo in. You must have at least 5 sentences in your non-sponsored post and of certain length.

Such crazy job but love it 😛 The craziest part is to grab PPP opps for catscity.net and my own blog. Summore PPP opps are not easy to grab nowadays. They’re gone too fast! They can gone in seconds! Goshhh… That’s why sometimes you can see continous sponsored posts and then later on I will insert the non-sponsored posts in between them.

Ok… Enough of the introduction. Hahaha… Hop over to catscity.net and you will know what I’m trying to tell you. We make sure we update it everyday with quality content of course. Then I can write at least one sponsored post a day. If we are lucky, I can write three sponsored posts a day and this will mean I need to compose another 2 to 3 non-sponsored posts a day. Crazy right? It’s legal way to make money anyway 😛

Let me get this straight, the domain name belongs to Jimmy, the photos belong to Jimmy, the write-ups belongs to me except the newspapers articles. We split the earning 50-50. Fair enough. OH! Is it Kuchingites Or Kuchingnites?

…Continue… Here kitty kitty kitty…
Couldn’t get nice shoot of them and they were all in not very good mood because it was so HOT!

Left: Persians. They seemed to like cameras 😛 but look “sien”(no mood) in the photo because they were very HOT!
Right: The small one is Malaysia Cat. The big one is European Burmese. Hmm… You’re European, then also a Burmese? Hmmm…

Left: British Shorthair. It didn’t move much, just sat there quietly.
Right: Scottish Fold & Scottish Shorthair. I have no idea which is which.

Left: Bengal. Looks like leopard.
Middle: Gossh… This one is ugly and it reminded me of Garfield. Sorry Garfield’s fans but Garfield is much cuter than this Exotic Shorthair.

Poor kitties… They were very HOT due to the weather. The owners kept directing the mist fans to their directions. These cats are so much luckier than human.

There will be a cat show/competition this Sunday. If you are interested, do go over for a visit but make sure you can stand the heat.

Ornamental Fish & Pets Expo 2007(1)

April 13, 2007 sweet surrender 7 Comments

If I’m not mistaken, it was held just last year, few month ago, in November I think… Now it’s here again -.-” It started today and ends on Sunday at Waterfront. After meeting up with a client, we decided to go there to take photos to update our blogs hahaha… Who knows… It was such a disappointment, they haven’t really started it yet, they were still setting up. So, only manage to take some photos, nothing much, it was very hot too.

Left: The stage. They were still busy with the setup.
Right: I think this booth is more like promoting aquatic landscaping.

Left: If not mistaken this is catfish. One of them suddenly tried to jump out of the water.
Right: What fish is this? No idea. Hahaha…

Left: Salted fish. We noticed that many booths are selling salted fish.
Right: Gossh… We thought it’s plsma TV at first, the colours were so vivid. Actually it’s just aquariums ahahah…

Some colourful aquariums.

More aquariums.

Too bad, many aquariums were still empty so nothing much to see. Next up, we will be meeting our city’s mascot, cats!

Sarawak Museum

April 9, 2007April 11, 2007 sweet surrender 3 Comments

I can’t recall when was the last time I’m here. Besides, the museum still reamins the same after so long. Didn’t manage to visit DinoTrek so we went to the museum to get some cold air, it’s was so hot out there. No cameras and videos allow in there but with the invention of cameraphone, how is it possible to stop people from taking photos? Most people did it sneakily with their phone, hahaha… Me too but I think they knew about it because there are so many hidden cameras in the museum.

So… Here are some views of our museum taken with my bro’s phone 😛 Almost got caught I think… Coz just few seconds after I took a shoot at the petroleum section, the guard walked in just to scare us I guess. My act might be recorded in the video too hahaha… I’m not the only doing it anyway. I think they are worry about the flash of the camera that will spoilt the artifacts in there. Of course for security purpose too since there are many valuable artifacts in there.

Sarawak Musuem.

Left: Petroleum section.
Right: Underwater section.

Left: Killer whale skeleton.
Right: Preserved animals section.

Left: Local artifacts at the second floor.
Right: “Gong”.

Hope you enjoy the brief tour. By the way, if you would like to visit the musuem for free, please donate to the museum to ensure free entrance is possible in time to come because due to the escalating maintenance cost, they might have to charge for entering next time if the donating part can’t work out.

DinoTrek

April 8, 2007April 7, 2007 sweet surrender 8 Comments

After PIKOM, my dad suggested that we go visit DinoTrek at Tun Abdul Razak Hall, just opposite Sarawak Musuem.

GAH! We thought we could enter for free. Who knows? When we reached there, we saw the “Tickets Sold Out” notice everywhere outside the hall. Need to buy tickets one!!! Many parents were caught with surprise too. I don’t think I came across anything mention about the need to buy tickets in the media! Summore it’s by Petronas. We should be given free entrance for it! Not charging us!

Though the tickets are not that expensive for us(adult-RM5, children[3-17]-RM3) but I don’t think I want to pay that kind of money to go in to see some robots moving their hands and legs and some recorded audio to create the sound. So lame. I don’t think it’s worth to go in at all. You just see my photo, I don’t think you will think it’s worth it at all. Only some cardboard walls surrounded the “dinasours”.

Many children wanted to go in but tickets were sold out. Most parents brought their children there becuase they thought it’s free entrance. Any sane parents will not want pay for that kind of money to go in to see some lame robots! What to do? Children… Once they want something, they will make sure that they have it or else they will scream or cry on top of their lungs. As for the parents, they would be force to buy the tickets even though they didn’t wan to. Even though the tickets were sold out, they still need to find other time to go. They are very unwilling but they still have to squeeze their balls to buy the tickets because there is no way for them to disappoint their children.

Imagine this… You had been telling your children to do well or behave and you will bring them to see dinasours. All these while you thought that it’s free. Then when you reached there and found out that you have to buy tickets to go in knowing deep down that those are just some lame robots and lame audios to “cheat” the kids. Your children has been waiting for the moment, seeing their adorable faces, how can you have the heart to disappoint them? So, you can only tell them the tickets are sold out, you will have to find other day to go and you have to keep the promise. How can you disappoint your little angels right? So to compensate your angels for not being able show them the promised dinasours, you have to buy some DinoTrek merchandise on sale so that they will not be sad.

OK.. Tell me people! Do you know that they are charging for the entrance? As far as I know, I heard nothing or see or read anything about the need to pay to go in. Anyone? That’s why people always said that children’s money is always the best to earn. See how true is this?
