10K Contest Lydia Teh

Posted by danielctw On October - 3 - 2007

Yes, it’s 10K. Wait…. I mean 10k of publishes of Lydia Teh’s book on Honk If You’re Malaysian. So it seems that she is now also creating a contest to commensurate the achievement of the book reaching it’s 10k copies.

Money

Way to go, well, I wouldn’t want to give any spoilers on the book, but in general yes, it’s all about the malaysian life styles. Well, wanna know more you can go see more of it.

Anyway what’s up about this contest anyway? Where can I find it? It is of course in Lydia’s blog. Where else? Here’s the link 10K Contest. I guess it’s a good and healthy way to promote this contest. The winner either get vouchers from MPH or McDonalds. For me as a bookperson, I prefer the MPH vouchers though. Call me a bookworm or a nerd, besides how much can I eat on McDonalds voucher. =.=”

Complicated Relationship

Posted by danielctw On October - 2 - 2007

Life is not simple. It’s complicated. Even in a relationship, be it with friends, families and love ones. Even with pets. Well, I am talking about owner to pet relationship not those beastiality stuffs (ish ish..)

Anyway, well, sometimes it’s complicated that it’ll end up like a crossroad, and it’s just like a traffic jam. All wanted to divert another place and they’re just stuck in the middle not knowing where to go. Decisions need to be made, and consequences need to be endured.

crossroad

Relationship is never an easy thing. It’s always the beginning of an adventure as would one have when they first embark their journey from a small little baby to a young kid studying in elementary school.

Yes, it’s a life journey. Also being in a relationship doesn’t mean you’ve already accomplished your goals and end at that.

It’s more like you’ve started the race, just how you want to end the race? It’s either one finish it, or fall flat on their belly halfway through or some even worst, get injured and fall off just when they are reaching the finish line. I have an analogy on race tracks. But it really does fit in with this relationship thingy.

Well, but not all relationships are 100m race like, some are bumpier and that’s why there’s this hurdle race where one needs to jump over obstacles to reach their finish line. Let’s face it, if all relationships are just as easy as the 100m race track, the world would be a better place. Can you jump over the obstacle?

Well, on a relationship, sometimes these hurdle are there to help us grow. Well, like someone said, in every race, there’s always someone cheering you, wishing you that you’ll be able to succeed. Now, do you have that someone in your life to do that?

So if you so so don’t understand my complicated weird mind of Daniel, welcome to my topic. I love writing this articles once a while apart from my daily life travelings. Well, I am sort of melancholic, so I think of weird analogies with my topics too. I do hope that if you need a review on certain topics and want me to write on it, you can email to my email address above.

At least, you’ll get to share your views and concerns and I get to write a whole new subject.

Malaysia Withdraw From Paypal

Posted by danielctw On October - 2 - 2007

Yes!! After what seemed to be an endless struggle to find a way to withdraw from Paypal. While some goes all the way of getting A VMC card and opening an USA bank account, it seems there is a newer and easier way to withdraw your Paypal funds.

What the heck? Am I kidding you?? Nope I am not. This is confirmed by Paypal themselves. Here’s the article about THIS whole thing! Well, yes and also the screenshot!

Paypal Malaysia

But if you’re still wondering whether it works. I might go and test it out. Well, it means now if you have the Visa or Mastercard logo on your Credit or Debit card, you’re allowed to withdraw from it. Now what about it. Well, for now I’ll keep you people updated if I get to withdraw directly from my Maybank ATM card.

Paypal Malaysia

Look up!! It’s now a good thing. Now all we need is clickbank to follow suit! So for those danielctw.com readers, I am giving you this news to you! For those that don’t know yet, you have heard it from danielctw. I will do my best to run through the process of getting my funds withdrawn. If it works, you people, my loyal readers will get to know it first hand.

Now isn’t this wonderful. So that means no excuse to join PayPerPost under me. Click below to review this post and get paid by them. All you need is a PayPal account.

Boring Work Poetry

Posted by danielctw On October - 1 - 2007

Boring Mood

It’s time to lunch
Though I haven’t ate
So it became brunch
I guess I eat late

Sometimes work is meaningful
If you learn not like a fool
But don’t sit there like a stool
Or else you’ll get bang by a bull

When work gets boring
We all go snoring
So we thought of playing
But later boss will come in scolding

So now you know my life
My life which is ever weird
Please pass me a knife
Or else I cannot cut my beard!!

WAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
