I received emails occasionally asking about my experience in making money online (or by blogging to be precise)… I normally will reply to them with a long winded email; and since that my reply is almost the same all the time, might as well post my thoughts here.
This will be a long and messy post… I will write whatever comes into my mind in random.
Energy, Water and Communications Deputy Minister Shaziman Abu Mansor suggested in Parliament that compulsory registration should be implemented for bloggers with sites on local servers. [Source]
Seriously, how did this dude manage to become our deputy minister?

Advertlets and Nuffnang are 2 Malaysian blog advertising networks that launched in beta recently.
James Yeang has an interview with both of the founders, pretty good read, kudos to James.
After visiting their websites, I found some questions and ideas about the 2 networks; here is my review for both projects. (I don’t know both of the founder in person, thus no bias intended)
Not sure if the lunar eclipse was viewable in Malaysia… didn’t bother much about the astronomical wonder until I found out that how amazing it was with the moon turning reddish.
Here is a video of the lunar eclipse (thanks to awecz), a bit shaky but pretty cool…
There are a few dozens (if not hundreds) of lunar eclipse on YouTube, make a search if interested.
Thought of writing something about love… but nothing comes into my mind. I’m starting to admire those love novels writers; it probably took some great love experiences and/or imaginations to write a great love story.
A great love song will at least require the same passion, and perhaps works better than novels… “First Love” (~ Utada Hikaru)…
Melayu Boleh SEO Challenge was organized by WangCyber, a Malay language forum cater for Malaysian internet entrepreneurs.
The idea of using “Melayu Boleh” as the keyword is probably that the term Melayu Boleh is frequently searched, but the search results often returned with porn related websites.
Some amazing Africa nature and wildlife photos from Michael Poliza… visit his site for more photos, and remember to download the Namibia slideshow, which is absolutely breathtaking.
Some of the search engine visitors found my blog through my food category, but frankly there’s not much updates about food on my blog… I am pretty shy when it comes to taking photographs during my meals.
I do like reading food blogs though, here is a list of Malaysia food blogs that I read occasionally, perhaps you will find it useful as well…
