Bling Bling With Advertlets

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Bling Bling With Advertlets

All right people! Get ready for another money making opportunity! Goshh… I’m so money face! Who cares? Who doesn’t want money? I saw Advertlets’ poll in many bloggers’ site but I didn’t bother much about it until my friend asked me to try out the poll by Advertlets. Since I was still busy, I didn’t bother much about it after taking part in the poll.

Finally I have a bit of time to sign up and go tru’ it. At the beginning, it’s just simply register and copy paste the codes into your blog. When the time comes, they will generate adverts that are relevant to your blog. This will make sure your readers will not be bombard with unrelated advertisements. For me the concept is the same as the one I registered earlier on from another company. They both claim that we can make money from it. That’s why I register. I don’t mind who will give me more money as long that they can generate money for me. Hahaha…

Frankly, to us, we don’t really mind as long that they can generate money. I found out that, if a blogger is register with Advertlets, he or she will sure to sign up with the other one. It really doesn’t matter at all. Bloggers don’t really mind but advertisers do. They are the one that will make decision of where to advertise. The one with more advertisers will win of course. Still… As long that there’s money given to us, we don’t mind.

Just recently I received a mail saying that they will be having feature where bloggers will be paid for blogging about products and services. Advertlets is started by Malaysians to Malaysians. Therefore things that we are going to write about will be much more applicable to us. Also, no language restriction applied. This is a good chance for many bloggers that blog in other languages as my friend has been seeing GREEN that I’m making money in the US based one. *blek*

Look at the ad banners at my sidebar. You can see two of them right? I’m not practicing favouritism, I have no idea who to place first so I resorted to placing them based on alphabetical order. 😛

So… Why wait? Sign up now and be a part of us!

Sweet & Spicy Tapioca Snack

Posted on By sweet surrender 7 Comments on Sweet & Spicy Tapioca Snack

I missed calculated the time for PPP’s USD1K post 🙁 I thought it’s today but it happened yesterday dawn if not mistaken while I’m alseep!


Sweet & spicy tapioca snack is our local snack. It’s my favourite!!! Yummy… Yummy… Usually I bought this on the way back from Lundu, RM1 per packet but it’s smaller now compare to last time. You can get it here in Kuching too but doubt that it will be so cheap. Producing this snack is a type of cottage industry.

People that like something sweet and spicy will definitely like it. The tapioca is thinly sliced, then deep fried. After that, they are fried with chili, sugar and a bit of salt. Some can be very spicy, some not so spicy depends on who is the maker.

Last time my mom did try to do it herself but don’t know why it’s not crispy enogh. This is a very addictive snack. Oncce you tried you, you will want to have more. I want more! *drool*

It’s No Longer A Rumour Anymore!

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on It’s No Longer A Rumour Anymore!

MY GUESS WAS CORRECT!!! PayPerPost is indeed giving away big cash!!! I wrote about Big Cash Give Away! previously as sponsored post. Check out PPP’s blog about giving out USD1K on every Tuesday in April.

This was supposed to be a sponsored post, then it’s not. So decided to share this with you even though it’s not sponsored. Who knows… I refreshed PPP so many times and finally got the chance to grab the opps about giving out USD1K, so it’s now a sponsored post again. Hopefully you go click on the “Get Paid To Review My Post” button below this post or go click on the blue button at my sidebar that stated “PayPerPost Affiliate” or just click here.

Those of you with blogs and would like to earn from blog advertising, quickly sign up ok? The chance is here. It’s no longer a rumour anymore! It’s for real!!! Not bluffing you OK!??!

When will they start? According to their blog, it will be Every Tuesday between midnight to 11:59PM EST(The time is EST, not GST, please take note! I have no idea how to calculate the time -.-“). So people… What is there to wait for? You are given the chance to get USD1K by just writing a post. So easy. Well… Don’t know is that easy or not. I think by that time, most of us will be having difficulties signing into our account coz with the sudden surge of traffic to grab that USD1K. Only one lucky postie willl get it if not mistaken.

It’s good but if it can extend out to more posties, then it would be better, maybe USD10 per postie, this will mean 100 posties will have the chance. Making one person happy, why not make more people happy? Anyway, I hope I’m the lucky one hahaha…Who knows right?

WHY??!?!

Posted on By sweet surrender 5 Comments on WHY??!?!

Sigh… Another randomness again… This time it’s about this blog.

This stupid server is making me very piss! GRRR!!! Kept having a lot of downtimes, if not then it slows down and making people can’t load my blog properly! EXABYTES! You better behave! GRRR!!! I have about 10 sites in your server OK!??!! Once it’s down, all my sites will not be accessible. It causes me to loss some incomes and traffics due to the downtime OK?!?!? I thought you are supposed to be a reliable host but it seems like it’s getting worst day by day since last month. So many downtimes and people are complaining! GRRR!!! I thought you are better than my previous US host since you really did prove that you are before to us. Too bad… It’s no longer up to the standard anymore! Please improve 🙁

I really don’t understand… I really don’t… My PR is still 0 until now. Not even a slight increment. Those people that have fewer traffic than mine, newer than mine and less links from other blogs are actually building the PR faster than I do! It doesn’t seem right. Even my Alexa and Techorati are much higher than them! This is so not right. I really don’t understand why? Is it my template? Is it my domain name? I’ve been more or less settle with the domain name for two years plus and I have almost 1K of unique visitor each month, quite an increment than previously, it increases 50% every year. Yet… I have no PR at all! I really don’t get it at all! Sigh… Due to this, I’ve been rejected by so many advertising campaigns only PPP accepted me, thank you PPP, but I’m running out of opps to write now 🙁 due to my PR. I am supposed to be getting at least a PR3 with this blog but I got 0 for it. I still can’t get it. Why is it like this? Many people are making money from nuffnang but I have none 🙁 So jealous…

I seem to be having problem with Advertlets‘ script. I need your help to check it for me. I can’t seem to be able to check it but I manage to see that the problem is solved in other blogs but mine. Could be my cache? But I had already cleared them so many times and tried with other computers too. They are all the same. Here’s the instructions:

Go to Archives
Then click on a “Month” or “Category”
Then scroll down to click on the “Previous Entries” link
When you are in the page, wait and see whether it auto redirects you back to the previous page or not?

Thank you very much. I really need help in this else I’m going to haunt Josh non-stop. Hahaha…

Why? Why? Why?*Sigh*

Qing Ming 2007

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on Qing Ming 2007

It’s April’s Fool today. I don’t play tricks on people for a long long long long time already. Also no one fools me for don’t know how many years already. However, was fooled by Lilian!! Eh.. But doesn’t count ok? Hahaha… Coz it’s not on 1st April, it’s yesterday.

The actual day of Qing Ming(in Mandarin, in Hokkien is “Cheng Beng”, what is it called in English?) should be 5.4.2007(to be exact the the 18th day of the second month of Lunar calender) but most people will start going to the cemetery to clean up and pay respect to the ancestors during the weekend before the actual day since the actual day falls on a weekday.

We went today. My dad went to clean it with my uncles and aunties last Sunday. Started from home at about 6am and reached there at about 6.30am. It’s very near to the Anglican Cemetary. Oppsss.. I had forgotten the cemetery’s name that we went though been going there every year ever since I’m in kindergaten. This year I’m crazy enough to bring my camera along and shot a lot of photos. Hmmm… My relatives were quite amused about me taking photos there but hmm… I think there’s somebody that was not very happy about it(I’m not sure but I think there is). They played along and arranged those “gifts” to my late grandparents for me to take photos. (-.-“) Not sure is the right thing to do or not taking photos there? Hmm… Phew… I didn’t snap “something”.

You know the Chinese cemetery is always such a spooky place. However, I dare to walk alone in the dark with torchlight to my grandparents’ grave. Hehehe… There’s no light there at all, it’s pitch black but the grave is not so far from the parking place, that’s why I dare hahaha… Well… I only walked there alone once, it was few years back. My cousin was shocked when they reached and saw me alone there while my parents were still unloading stuffs at the car. NO NO NO, it’s not what you’re thinking OK? I’m aware that I am walking there alone to put down those praying stuffs there and since I’m one of them with the torchlight, so I placed the torchlight there and waited for the rest to arrive. 😛

We were quite late this year. Usually we started from home at about 5.30am. It’s quite bright already when we reached there today and so many people there already.


Left: See the smoke from far far away? It’s from another cemetery. You know how much pollution cause by these burning activities? That’s why we alwasy go early so that we won’t be suffocated by all those smokes. No wonder the Taiwanese government urges their citizen to reduce burning activities during Qing Ming. Also, it’s not hot too. The sun was quite strong already at around 7.30am. Usually, we ended the ritual before 8am. This year, we dragged until 9am+ because we were waiting for my another cousin and aunt that couldn’t find the way to the cemetary. It’s about 8am+ when they arrived. Then when we wanted to leave, another cousin and aunt came. So couldn’t leave so soon. Gosshh… The sun was biting every inch of my skin even with umbrellas!

Right: The old fashion hell money and coloured papers scattered on the grave to symbolise that the children and grandchildren had came to visit them.


People busy cleaning up. Some clean the grave and pay respect the same day.


Left: Hahaha… Clothings. This is the old fashion type. It will be burn together with the hell money.

Right: Hell money from the The Hell Bank Corporation. Yes! You got it right! The human bought the money from hell and send it back to hell again. (-.-“) Oh… So there is no heaven at all. We die, we all go to hell. If those go to heaven, they won’t be getting anything right? Or heaven is already filled with all the things they need so there is no need to give them anything. So That’s why only got hell money no heaven money.

Hmm… Think from another perspective, since generally people always said that, if you are good you go to heaven; if you are bad, you go to hell. So you are very sure your love ones are bad, that’s why they go to hell. How disrespectful to them? I’m sure no one will want their love ones to go to hell. If they go to heaven, then I’m sure they will be very sad that you think that they are not a good person.

All these are just gimmick of the businessmen. I’m a Christian(most of my relatives are not), so I don’t believe in these stuffs. To us, hell is hell, where those in hell suffer from the burn of fire every single second. There is nothing else but fire. No matter how many things you had “sent” to hell they will not get it at all. There’s no such thing. What’s on earth, remains on earth. It won’t go anyway unless they have spirits or souls. You are just burning your money. It seems to be a sane way to burn money instead of burning the real money hahaha…


Modern clothings! Got heels, got shoes, got hat, got trousers, shirts, dress, skirts, wallet, mobile phone, pen even credit card from The Hell Bank! Branded wallet and belt summore! *LOL*


Left: Some food for offerings.
Middle: Another type of hell money. Every buddhist group has their own type of hell money.
Right: We have Darlie, they have Hellie. So funny… It comes with Toothbrush and towel too.


Left: These are money too. They are the money used in the olden days called silver ingot or “yuan bao”.
Right: Let’s burn them! Let’s burn money!


On the way out of the cemetery. See the long queue of cars, “smoking” hills(not so clear) and the tombs(not so clear also).

This year we made a last minute decision to visit the ashes storage place of my uncle and my cousin. It’s at the one and only crematorium in Kuching. I’m not sure the name of the place. This is my second time there. I didn’t attend the cremation of my cousin.

Left: They have quite a nice water feature there.
Right: The place where the worshippers place their joss sticks. Quite a tall one. What you see here is the top part.


This is where all the ashes are kept. You have to pay a yearly maintenance fee, not sure how much, depends on the “slot” too. To buy a “slot”, the price depends on the position too, the cheapest is RM6000. The most expensive is RM24,000(photo on the right).

Reached home, showered, slept, ate then online till now. This is my April’s Fool. How about you?
