I am really happy.
Why? Because one of my blogpost hits not 1 2 4 8 but 22 pongs on ping.sg
Frankly from a blogger point of view, what I really want is to have people to be interested in what I’m writing. I have NEVER hit more than double digit pongs on ping.sg Never, Ever. And when I see the posts which are usually the popular reads, it seems like there is a regular group of bloggers who are the better high profile types. I must agree their blogposts are really interesting. Otherwise, content which is rather controversial and of adult content will make it up the Ping.sg Most Popular List as well.
In fact, after writing about my first adsense cheque after 1 year, I did wonder how nice it would be if I can appear on the Most Popular Post on Ping.sg
I really did wonder how come other posts can be up there but not mine. Perhaps mine wasn’t interesting enough, exciting enough…
It’s really a good feeling especially the comments for that post were also encouraging!
Thanks for everyone who has left me congrats and encouraging words. I promise I will share what I did to get my first adsense cheque in my later posts.
Look out for them.
Thank you 
PS: Black Knight is yet another awwwweesome movie! Batman was charming…
Oops! Not Black but Dark Knight LOL

Update: I got my 2nd Cheque as of October 31, 2008
I was introduced to the concept of Internet Marketing in May 2007 during World Internet Summit Singapore. Was totally blown off by the ideas being introduced. I started off like a wild horse, dabbling into different types of Internet Tools.
I was totally overwhelmed.
I was totally excited.
I was totally frustrated as I do not know what to focus on. (There are million and one things)
BUT I learnt many things which are totally not what most gurus mention:
- There is no such thing as being a millionaire overnight!
- It is not as easy as perceived to have a online income BUT it is true that anyone can achieve passive income in any niches (aka fields of INTEREST)
Note: I mention field of INTEREST. The niche which you choose to spend your time and sweat in must be an area you are 100% passionate about NOT primarily for $ but to make differences (small and huge) in tens, hundreds and thousands of life locally and globally.
- It takes effort and consistency, definitely the right set of objectives to share and help too.
Only then will you be rewarded for your effort. I got this Google Adsense primarily for my passion in spreading what I know best in – Mathematics tips and strategies to help students, parents and educators to enhance their learning and teaching journey. Yes! It took my 1 year to earn a cheque from Google. I will be sharing in my Adsense journey in my post later.
Meanwhile, to everyone out there, Adsense is true! and ANYONE can achieve what you want as long as we perserve on to our goals!

I usually see my Metal Beat Dr ( Direct from Chinese: ??) once every 1 – 2 years. Most of the time after my running events.
Went to see him yesterday but he was having too many patients, I couldn’t wait as I have a class in Orchard. So I visited him again this morning. Waited almost 45 minutes for my turn.
Went for Shape Run 2 Sundays ago. Everything was fine when I did my run which I completed within 80 minutes I believe. The next Monday, my right feet starts to hurt a little and I was busy with an event that I couldn’t find time to see the Dr until today.
He claims to be a 60+ man when he is like looking really young with his head of black hair, dressed in his typical white cotton shirt and jeans. He likes to talk while doing his job. His topic of the day was oon our gah-men. (Content is confidential, tsktsk…)
This experience was different from the rest, as usually my knee was the part which needs some healing but this time, it was my ankle. He performed the classical twist and I went “OUCH”! The crack sound was really loud and certainly painful 
Here’s the end result:
I was limping around CCK and Yew Tee with this leggy of mine.
PS: Should anyone need some twisting and cracking, he is located @ West Coast Food Centre Blk 504 #01-222 ( In a provision shop opp Jurong Wanton!)

I would be late for lesson if I didn’t take the taxi. Me and my poor time management! I was at Bukit Batok Polyclinic area. So I would think that my usual 188 route to Pasir Panjang through AYE would be good.
When I boarded the taxi which was within 1 minute of waiting, the driver asks if going by Jurong Town Hall Road was all right. Hmmm…. at that moment, I would assume Jurong Town Hall Road sounds like an expressway. But I was terribly wrong. It was full of traffic lights. And I guess the universal wants me to learn my lesson well so traffic lights were “instructed” to switch to red for most part of my journey. . .
I thought hard to myself and asked the reason of me not sticking to the route which I’m more familiar with and I’m certain that AYE is definitely not full of traffic lights.
- I wasn’t insistent and confident of how I want the journey to go instead I left the decision to the driver. (Serve me right for having to pay extra few bucks and wasted time stopping by traffic lights!)
- I was too trusting of others, thinking that they would put thier clients before their own benefits, just like how I lead my life. (I was proven wrong!)
Somewhat I have the feeling that the driver wanted to take the route which has more traffic lights so that he can earn more out of my journey. Afterall, it was the period of the time where business is tough probably due to the surcharge of 35%?
After realizing all that about myself, I decided to take some actions. The driver comes to this juncture where he could have turned in to continue the journey or to go straight. I knew that section very well. By turning in, I’m setting myself up for more traffic lights and moreover my precious time would be eaten up by the single lane traffic and definitely the traffic lights especially during the knocking off peak period. So I told him why not we take the straight road. And I was pleased with my gut to voice out what I want, to take control.
- Decision once made, we must be ready to face the consequences, regardless if they are wise or otherwise.
- Learnt well from each experience.
I got myself to blame for feeling cheated due to my incorrect decision but the price paid $15.60 (Bukit Batok to Pasir Panjang Hill) will pave way for better experience in future.

Taken on a rainy day(duh!) when a lorry stopped next to my bus. Guess what’s beneath the bags?
Giffrate! Out from zoo! (I’m certain this spelling can’t be found in Oxford dictionary but you get what I’m saying) -Spotted runaway giffrates at Causeway Point!
