Nowadays writing can generate income too. Apart from blogging, internet robustness is constantly seeking for writers who can write for content of different backgrounds.

At encyclocentral.com, they are looking for writers to write articles for many topics, auto and trucks, families and parenting, food and drinks (just to name a few). I’m sure many writers out there will jump into this opportunity of paaid article submission.

For $5 per article, and ability to brush up writing skills, getting paid for a hobby is not something you want to miss out.

In conjunction with *TheBoyfriend*’s new sales blog, we’re selling the handbag hook for RM18 each during the month of May. Usual price is RM20. But if you buy 3, you can save RM4 because we’ll be charging you only RM50 for 3 hooks (hint: gather up your friends and share *wink*).

Delivery and handling fee is RM5.50 up for 3 hooks for West Malaysia, RM7.50 to East Malaysia via PosLaju.

We are also happy to inform that we also ship to Singapore with the following price in SGD.

*registered mail.

Customers from other countries are welcome too, please email us at laydiefa[at]silent-echo[dot]org so we can check the postage with our local post office. Actually I’m still fixing my email at silent-echo.org since the hosting migration, hope we can correspond with the given email address first (unless you already know me at my personal email lah :P).

We accept payment thru PayPal, or Maybank if you have the access to it.

The supplier confirmed that hook can take up to 4.5kg of weight and came with a pouch.

You can read more in my previous post.

PayPerPost has become part of my obsession with internet. I found myself logging in every where with internet connection. Be it at work, at home or whenever I am outside with wireless fidelity facility.
The best part of doing internet advertising is you can do it at my own time, and I can pick any opportunity that I favor.

As I mentioned in one of my entry before, SocialSpark is the new and better version of PayPerPost. This morning when I logged into my PayPerPost (you can join both PPP and SocialSpark and get more income, that’s the best part), I received a notification that SocialSpark has been officially opened to public. For bloggers who have not sign-up, this is your chance people. Been eyeing that Prada shades? How about not-sold-in-this-country skincare or cosmetics on ebay? Well, take this opportunity to gain legal income with SocialSpark.

What I love about SocialSpark is bloggers don’t have to fight to grab for opportunities. If there is an opportunity you like but already taken, you can click ‘Wait For Slot’ which means you’ll be in the waiting queue and will be notified by email once you got it. Another advantage is, if you’re not eligible for an opportunity, but you feel you can write the opportunity since you have lots of experience and knowledge about that product/service/issue, you can always contact the advertiser and apply for the opportunity.

SocialSpark also create better and friendlier environment among bloggers and advertisers. We can check each others profile and make new friends while at that. Here is mine. Go sign-up and add me.

This is another project I did during my sick leave. It finished within a day, but I only managed to put the finishing touch last night after I got myself a bottle of fabric glue for the butterfly patch.

This is the sketch book I’m using to sketch (duuhh?) and draw or jot down any ideas I get for my craft. I bought two of these sketch books and gave one for *The Boyfriend* for his birthday. Love love love the paper, it doesn’t bleed.

I combined two fabrics for the cover, and glued an iron-on butterfly on it. I always have a thing for stuff with butterflies, and ribbons :D. I’ve choosen to glue instead of ironing the patch because from my experience with iron-on, they fell off easily after a few wash. And finally I glued a pair of eyes on the butterfly.

Me love me sketch book!!

The original sketch book.

Fitted with a cover.

I do believe that sometimes bad luck comes in 3’s.

(First) - Yesterday, while getting ready for work, half groggy and half lazy, I picked my clothes in the dark. I realized that I was wearing a blue scrunchy, so I picked a blue shirt. By the way, I do my face and my hair before getting dressed.

After arriving at the car park, I touched-up a bit, went out from the car and using the reflection from the passengers’ window, I straighten up my shirt and pants, but my shirt didn’t want to stay flat. I take a look at my horribly crumpled shirt. Uwaaa I took the un-pressed shirt!

(Second) - And today, while answering the nature’s call, I noticed my pants had a big hole ‘there’. About 5cm. Crap! It must be the yoga pose I always excitedly show my sister while I was still wearing my office pants.

So now, I’m dreadfully waiting for the 3rd one..

I’m not the kind who carefully count my calorie intake per day. I did rough calculation from time to time, and I read nutritional facts. Lately I realized, I should start being careful on what I stuffed into my mouth, because if the effects don’t occur now, it surely occur later in my life. Probably when I’m too old and weak to go for intense medication and operation.

I’m thinking of getting a calorie counter so I can keep track of calorie I consumed each day. There is this gadget called CalorieSmart, a handheld gadget that is more than calorie calculator. It stores more than 35,000 food items so you can get yourself a personal food calorie counter, so forget looking at tiny printed nutritional facts. You can also personalized and add new food items.

Also for those planning to lose that flab under arms, CalorieSmart is your essential motivator and personal planner. You can set a goal and monitor your progress with this awesome gadget. Losing weight can’t get anymore easier.

Get fit, get CalorieSmart.

Beware, I’m writing with half-opened eyes. Please expect lots of typo and grammatical error.

I think many would agree with me looking a gift for a guy is not easy. This year for his birthday, I decided to get *The Boyfriend* something he couldn’t get anywhere else. I bought him a sketch book (the nicest paper material I ever found) and sew a book cover.

It’s not just another book cover, because I backstitched a “logo” on it.

Nyehehehee.. Sumpah tak jumpa kat kedai!

I’ve been having troubles keeping in touch with friends from schools. It doesn’t help when you have parents who are constantly transferred within couple of years. Back then we could only swapped home addresses and telephone numbers. Email? What’s that? To make it worse, most of them already moved or started working in another town.

A close friend told me about 3gb.biz. It’s a lifesaver! I managed to find my friends whom I haven’t met in 20 years! 3gb.biz is an online community network. Besides looking for old friends, you can keep in touch with the current ones and make new ones while at that. This network also features online album and groups.

Be part of 3gb.biz, it’s fun! With your account, you also get to blog and chat with your friends and listen to latest mp3.

The reason I haven’t been posting is the same old lame excuse; BUSY. But I really am!

I’m not in the mood to compose this entry in a nice sentences, so here’s what I’ve been up to for the past 1 week.


1. Last Wednesday I went for surgery to take my last wisdom tooth out. In other words, the dental surgeon slitted the side of my gum, and remove the tooth from the side. Sounds gore but to be frank, I’m not that scared because this is my second time. The lower jaw is always the problem. I’m blessed (trying to see it from positive view here) with small jaw and big teeth. So the tooth having problem coming out because lack of ’space’. And to make it worse, I’m now with braces and all the teeth are being pushed to the back. In x-ray that poor tooth looked senget already. Haih.

My first surgery was on the lower left (now lower right), I was still in Uni, and I got 1 week medical leave, which I think unncessary because the pain only last for 3-4 hours, and can be soothed just by eating ice-cream. One week leave from class, and my roommate Iris, she didn’t go to class as well. She said that she wanted to take care of me. But we stayed in our room playing Hoyle instead, hehe. What a bliss.

This time I got 3 days MC which conjoined with the weekend, and I spent my days sewing. Okay this one also needs to be updated as well, of what I was sewing.

I still have stitches in my gums. Boo hoo!


2. On Saturday I went for my first meet up with the NNC ladies, the NeedlesNCraft yahoogroup that I joined. It’s suppose to be a stitching bee, where everyone sit and stitch and yamcha and chit chat. I brought my cross-stitch project there, but I only touched it for merely 10 minutes. The rest was spend learning crochet from one of the expert member. I will show you what I’m crocheting in another entry! (Janji manis)


3. Am so so busy at work, due to 3 days MC I took for item #1, and tomorrow I’ll be leaving the country for another craft shopping trip (not that far, but not Singapore :P). Since I’ll be taking 6 days leave, I had to cramp 9 days work in 3 days.


4. I was in the process of switching server, so I was trying not to make new entries (especially with pictures) because my latest backup was dated on 14th April 2008. Right now, you’re actually viewing this blog on my spanking new server at Godaddy.com. So, who’s yer daddy??


Not sure if I will write new entry in this coming 24 hours before my departure. But I hope everyone will have great days ahead, not too late to wish Happy Earth Day to those who actually have feelings towards mother earth and doing something to preserve it.

Bubbye!

My cousin has a small newly setup network consultation company. She’s very new in this and sometimes she complained of difficulties to track her staff performance and project progress. I just recommended her Journyx Timesheet™, a software for timesheet and management of expense for her business. This software is definitely for her because it’s much more than timesheet, she will be able to manage payroll, invoice, Online Time and Expense and of course her networking projects. She was ecstatically happy with my recommendation! Because the best part of this software, she doesn’t have to pay a penny. It’s FREE for 10 users!

1. “Bila nak kahwin?(When are you getting married?)”
And live a boring life like you? Pastu bila dah kahwin baru terhegeh² nak enjoy life. Disclaimer: This does not apply to those already enjoyed life and have been through it all of ups and downs before thinking of getting hitched. I call that; ready. I think even after I had married I can’t escape from these nosy people, which will come up with new question. “Bila planning nak ada baby?” If you’re like this people you better stop that. These kind of people are so annoying I always wish them dead. Senang sikit, tak semak aku nak pergi kerja.

2. Asal mana? Or Kampung mana? (Where are you from? / Where is your hometown?)
I hate this question because I don’t know how to answer. Should it be place of where I was born? Or I where grew up?
I was born in Kelantan (dad was posted there), then grew up in this order; Terengganu, United States, Perak, Penang, Johor (3 different districts, Batu Pahat, Johor Bahru & Muar) then KL, try to say that in one breath.
Or should it be the place where my parents live? My parents live in KL for 2 weeks then Kuantan the next week and KL again then Kuantan again bla bla bla bla. And I don’t have any relatives in Kuantan for that matter. I was born a nomad and proud of it.

3. Gigi you ok je, kenapa pakai braces? (Your teeth were fine, why makes you wear braces?)
Haven’t you heard? There’s no word called ‘perfect’in women’s dictionary. Try forbid girls with naturally pink lips� from wearing lipstick, will they listen to you? And by the way, I’m teeth fetist. So I want a perfect one myself.

I’m tagging anyone who love to continue. I bet everyone has their own FAAQs!

For my ghetto food, I have ‘happy meal’, and I have ‘happy beverages’. I’ll tell you about my ‘happy meal’ in another entry. But for now, drinks that makes me happy. Just like the name sounds, these drinks is ghetto enough you don’t need whatchamacallit concoctions, and easy to prepare.

1. Milk + Orange Juice.
Milk + Sunkist orange juice to be exact (this is not a paid entry, and P**l Fr*sh is not good enough for this). Reason being, Sunkist has a lot more sacs than the one I just mentioned. Just mix 1 part of milk with 3 parts of orange juice. Yummy with the big Y. If I’m in the mood, I blend these together with ice cubes. But I’m too lazy to wash the blender anyway.

2. Milk + Honey.
Just like the saying goes, life is like milk and honey, these 2 items really live up to their names. My way of drinking; sit in front of TV watching craps or movie, with a glass of milk, a bottle of honey and a teaspoon. Sip a bit of milk, and sip a bit of honey, sip some more milk, sip some more honey. Tskk.. Writing this makes me drool.

Try ‘em!
