Free E Book From John Chow 2007-05-30 08:58:26 Have you all noticed that John Chow released his E Book for Free? It’s really worth reading, is a success story and guideline provided by a Dot Com Mogul who make over 11K USD per month.
For new site like this (i means my site), i don’t think that all the tips are applicable to me, since some method really require a huge page hits which is still too far for me (as of now, but who knows one day i will hit that too…), but it’s really worth reading as it provided a great guide line for us.
If you haven’t get it, go get it now, it’s free…
Now i can blog with my own domain 2007-05-30 08:01:27 I have been hunting for my own domain
for quite sometimes. The main reason was i’m trying to find a domain name which is easy to remember by every one, just exactly what mentioned in the secret of building a high traffic site. Many of those that i can think of already being taken others. Finally i make up my mind and registered my domain.
The other reason that caused this delay - i need to find a affordable hosting. As i just started my blog, i need to find a affordable web hosting. After some details comparison, i still registered myself with GoDaddy as recommended by Blog @ Ashotiwoth. For those who are interested to registered here, you may enter "OYH1" as your coupon to enjoy a 10% discount on total price.
After using blogsome for one month plus, i starts to feel the advantages of hosting own domain. We definitely got more control to our blog, were we are able to use plug-in other then those pre-designed in Blogsome. Some of these plug-in

There is a saying, no people plan to fail but most people failed to plan. Years ago (when i just start work) I’m one of them in this group, only after some struggling to make changes in life style, spent less on unnecessary things and eat outside less, only I’m able to sustain with some saving now. It’s really a difficult process as there are too many attraction in the outside world for us to spend hard-earned money.
With the current inflation rate, will our current saving and EPF enough for our retirement?
I really need to take this serious question into consideration. As my current age of 28 years old, hope that it’s not too late for me to plan for my retirement. Suddenly feel so unsecured with the figured published on the newspapers. For those who missed this shocking news, here are some of t Read more:Start

I have seen those charity groups like Tzu Chi who always prepared their own set of reusable dining set whenever they held their activities.
This Picnic for One is specially designed for sportsmen and adventures. It can be used as a plate, cup, spice castor. But i do think that it’s suitable to use in any outing activity as we prepared our own dining set and save the environment by get rid of those disposable plates and cups.

I’m not a plastic bag 2007-07-07 01:30:44
Everyone is taking about how to reduce usage the for plastic bag
to save our environment. This fashionable branded “I’m not a plastic bag” (designed by Anya Hindmarch) has been selling like hotcakes recently and it’s overwhelming during its launching in Hong Kong recently. People has been queueing up 11p.m one day before the launching date. Will this be as hot as the iPhone launching recently?
I think most of the people buy it because it’s a fashion statement, but it also helps the planet because people now have a fashionable alternative to plastic bag.
Facts: Plastic can take up to 400 years to break down in a landfill.

New seven wonders of the world 2007-07-06 23:41:13 07072007 will be the remarkable date for the new seven wonders to be announced in Lisbon. I have voted for this in New7Wonders.com in the pass few months. I haven’t got chance to visit any of the old 7 wonders before and now it comes a new 7 wonders of the world.
For those who are not sure about this program, here are some of the explanation from Wikipedia.
The New Seven Wonders of the World is a proposed revision of the Seven Wonders of the World, organized by a Swiss corporation called New Open World Corporation (NOWC). The selection is being made by free and paid votes, through telephone or online. The first vote is free to registered members and additional votes may be purchased through a payment to NOWC. In addition to the sale of votes, NOWC relies on private donations, the sale of merchandise such as shirts and cups, and revenue from selling broadcasting rights.

Make your day a little greener 2007-07-20 20:59:43 Some green tips that we can practice daily (from GreenPeace), let’s see have many of it I’m practising…
Water1.Fix any leaky water pipes. Even a small drip can add up to a lot of water over time. (It saves our water bill as well)2.Wash your car the natural way – wait till it rains. (This is what i practice normally, the main reason is I’m too lazy to wash my car. But who knows that it actually saved water in the natural way…)
Energy1.Use compact fluorescent light bulbs. (This is what i do and i keep on mentioning this on this blog as well)2.Avoid using cars – walk, cycle or use public transportation whenever possible. (As i mentioned in my previous post on 5 simplest ways to reduce Global Warming, plan your journey ahead will also help to save energy.)3.Avoid anything battery operated (or use rechargeable or solar rechargeable if batteries are unavoidable). (I think AA and AAA batteries are the most widely use in our household, rechargeable Read more:little
How much you know about ENERGY STAR? 2007-07-28 21:50:09 You shall notice that there are quite a number of home electronics products like refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, air-conditioners, boilers, lighting lamps and ballasts are labelled with Energy Star logo. Do you know what does it means?
About Energy Star ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy helping us all save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices.
Results are already adding up. Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR, saved enough energy in 2006 alone to avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 25 million cars — all while saving $14 billion on their utility bills.
The government’s ENERGY STAR label on lighting means you’re getting a product that is superior in energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR qualified compact fluorescent light bulbs (CFLs) use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 6–10 times longer.
Top 10 Reasons To Recycle Aluminum 2007-07-28 21:06:25
Every one is talking about recycling nowadays and do you know what are the main reason to recycle?
Here are the top 10 reasons to recycle given by Aluminium Association.
Recycling saves energy, creates income and helps our economy.
Saving Energy: For each pound of metal recycled, the aluminum industry saves the energy resources needed to generate about 7.5 kilowatt-hours of electricity. That’s enough energy to meet the electric needs of a city like Pittsburgh, Pa. for six years!
Creating Income: Can recycling has created about 30,000 new jobs at recycling centers, aluminum companies and in the transportation support industries. A used aluminum can returned to a recycling center is worth over a penny to a consumer. Sure, a penny may not seem like a lot, but when you take into consideration the amount of canned drinks Americans consume each day, the totals really add up!
Helping the Economy: A used aluminum can returned to a recycling center is worth Read more:Reasons

Solar Backpack For Your Gadget? 2007-08-03 23:41:52 Running out of battery for your lovely gadgets like Digital Camera, iPod, mobile phone or PDA?
Worry not with this solar backpack, it charges your gadgets with the power of our nature, the sun. I come accross this ad from TreeHugger, it’s a Voltaic backpack that have solar panels. It comes together with a car charger as well in the package, you can still charge your gadgets with your car charger (cigerette charger in our car) even your does not have access to the direct sun for a full recharge. Price is from $199 and above.
I would said that is expensive to me. However, if your have the badget and plan to buy a branded backpack, why not consider this solar backpack to give support to these environmental friendly product?
One of the disadvantage of this backpack is it does not designed to charge laptop. It will definitely a plus to its usage if it can support laptop battery recharge…

Blog for money with Smorty 2007-08-14 07:47:28 I started my blog in April and the idea behind is to make so extra money online from blogging.
Smorty is a blog advertising company and my registration with Smorty was in the month of April but my blog is declined during that time as it’s new(less then one month old) and not enough indexed pages.
However, I just received and email from Smorty recently saying that my account has been approved and i can start to get paid for blogging. Woh…how nice will that be, and now i can start to blog for money, and i got 2 opportunities waiting for me on my first logon to Smorty.
What make Smorty different from other paid post company is that bloggers will get paid on a weekly basis rather then on monthly basic.
Wondering what is the first steps required to blog for money?

Think of 4R - REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE and RETHINK 2007-08-17 11:18:46 What did you do what your old MP3 player or old mobile phones?
With more and more new models rolling out means that there are more and more numbers of obsolete models, how are you going to handle those expired models?
Electronics devices contains a lot of metals and chemicals such as lead which is not environmental friendly. It really needs to handle with care else it will be harmful to our environment. Songs downloading via internet has made us buy less from the local song’s CD stores, but it ends up with the sales boosts of empty CDs to keep our songs or data in CDs.
The only to help in this is the 4R’s. REDUCE, REUSE, RECYCLE and RETHINK before you buy.
I have been taking about buying “ENERGY STAR” electronics and changes of energy saving light bulbs. Here are more ways provided by MyGreenElectronics.
Unplug mobile phone or PDA chargers when batteries are fully charged or when the chargers are not in use.

When is the best time to fuel your vechicle? 2007-08-20 07:29:07 When will be the best time to fuel your vehicles?
I heard most of my friends said that it will be best time to fuel early in the morning like 6a.m to 8a.m or during night time like after 8p.m. Mean that only fuel when it’s cool. Heat during the day time will increase gas evaporation and gas emissions. In order words, it will cut down gas emissions and reduce global warming.
Normally i will fuel before i go for work which is around 7:30a.m, the main reason behind for this is to save some extra $$$ that caused by gas emission…How bout you, when do you fuel your vehicle?
Green Shopping 2007-08-27 07:24:42 One week of school holidays was just over in Malaysia. Do you ever think of to do a little “GREEN” shopping before for your children?

I do think that the most important idea here is to give a good example to our children on the important of preserving our environment and reduce global warming. Still remember? Children See Children Do…

Computer Recycling 2007-09-20 07:41:31 There are two methods that i normally practice to get rid of my used computer.
If the computer is still usable and in good condition, i will donate it to charity society. If the computer already broken, i will then try to disassemble it into individual parts like hard disks, RAM, graphic cards, CD or DVD ROM. I will use back the component if it’s compatible with my new purchase of hardware, if it’s too old or incompatible with my new hardware, i will them give it out to my friends or family who need it as a spare or replacement. The rest of the item i will sell it to the local shop for some cheap (really so cheap) price.
Now it seems that we have more options to choose from for unused computer. HP environmental: Product Return and Recycling
program will help to manage your unused computer environmental friendly. You can either choose to trade in, return for cash, recycle or donate it. Which is a better practice that save the environment rather then you throw it into the Read more:Computer
