SELAMAT HARI RAYA

p/s: Penang island, here I come.. can't wait to see the latest Time Square and Hard Rock Cafe of Penang :)

business

Hmm.. there's no easy way to say this but.. I've been planning to open an online store for quite some time but I have few doubt in mind, though.. So, my plan right now is to minimize the cost as well as the risks. I have done my research on marketing online product but honestly, I'm not sure whether it will succeed or not. FYI, i've done a few online marketing for the past year and the results was so~so. This is due to lack of funds.

First of all, what I need most is 1 or 2 partners, who is able to contribute some initials. Of course I'll be contributing the same amount. This way, the cost will be less and the risk will be divided fairly among each member. This partner will have to work hand in hand with me and should be able to contribute ideas to ensure that this e-business is a success.

Secondly, I need a good product in which i can easily obtain throughout the year. I do have a few products (electornics, clothes) on my mind which I certainly knows where and how to get it with a cheaper price compare to the market price, but for now, i'll keep my options open. So if you have any idea, do tell me so..

These is my expected start-up cost.

Domain : +-RM50

Hosting : +-RM100 (will increase if the business success)

Membership for 1 reliable supplier : +-RM50 ( optional)

Merchant fee : +-RM500 (one time fee)

Marketing: +- RM1000 ( flunctuate acording to marketing type)

Others (spare) : RM500

TOTAL : RM2200 (Not that much, huh)

Of course, these are not fixed. It depends on the products and the marketing side, but to be on the safe side, let assume that the amount shown is the minimum amount.

If I don't get any partner, the business will still go on but on a slow pace. Bare in mind that by becoming a partner in this business, does not guarantee you any profits. We have to earn the profits.. I'll get into details with anybody who is interested in this. So anybody?

Asia's Biggest Gainer

Before the the start of the fasting month, i've plan to go for a diet program on my own.. But I'm wondering, why haven't my weight goes down, infact I gained quite a few pound this month, I guess.

You see, 2-3 years back, I'm not this big. I've gained so much weight for the past 2 years due to no workout at all. I'm curious whether I can still go back to my fomer size.. Here are some of my back-to-the-future pics.. hehe

5 years back

5 years back & with my dad

3-4 years back

FYI, my weight now is 95kg. So.. do u think i can get my former shape back??

Staircase

Yesterday, after seing lots of pictures of Pasar Ramadhan near Taman Melawati posted by Helas on his blog, I decided to go to that particular place to search for my 'break fast' food. Honestly, my decision 98% was based on the tasty 'kambing golek' photos on Helas' blog. To avoid the traffic, i started my journey at 4.30 p.m.

Everything was smooth untill I make my way back home. I reached my apt at 6 p.m and i was told by the security that there was a TNB cable breakdown near my place. So there's no electricity in the area. Even the elevator is not working. FYI, I stayed on the 28th floor. So we wait in the car until 7.30. Nothing happens so we decided to have our dinner at a nearby restaurant. At 8.30 p.m, still no electricity in that area. I couldn't wait much longer, so we made up our mind to use the staircase up to the 28th floor. It was dark coz the emergency light has no more battery left. Luckily I have a torchlight in mycar. So, with the torchlight, we use the staircase. That was my first time using the staircase up till my apt. It was very tiring. Just imagine, 28th floor.

The power came back at 10 p.m. And i'm proud to tell u, that I've lost 5kg that night (i wish) .. .. hehe..

Queue

I hate people cutting queue. Few days back while driving back home, there was a massive traffic jam. Obediently, I lined up behind other cars as usual. Ahead of me was a road split. One is going straight and the other is to the left. My car was approaching the split when another car tried to cut into my lane. I speed up my car, moving close to the car in front of me. The car which was trying to get into my lane didn't give up. He tried to drive close to my car, hoping that i would give way to him. Then all of sudden, he turn his head, staring at me and of course I stared back, with my bald head, trying to look like a road bully. To make the story short, I won the race, however my side mirror bump into his but I ignored it and continue my way back home.

Haha.. I supposed a lot of u readers want a more dramatic ending but sorry, that doesn't happen. I just posted this story coz i've nuthing else to do. Thank you for reading.

Security Check

My parents are back in town and this time they're staying in Renaissance hotel, located at the corner of Jalan Ampang and Jln sultan Ismail. So tonight, i'll be spending my night here.

Just now, when i first reach the hotel, on my way to the basement parking, i was stopped by the security staff. One of them was holding a big mirror attached to a long rod. The asked me to pop up my car trunk for spot check. They even use the mirror thingy to see whats under my car, worrying that i might be carrying a bomb. Next, b4 i got into lobby from the basement parking, i was stopped for the second time. This time is to have my body checked. It's similar to the airport check up. I have to go through the metal detector thingy with all my stuff and bags in a basket. Suprise.. surprise.. Never thought that they have this kind of security check in Malaysia. i thought its only in Indonesia, but of course, u have to be really sure when it comes to life & death matter.

When I reach the hotel room, my mom was getting ready for a dinner at Istana Hotel. She was telling us that before this, this kind of functions were always hosted by some cross-dresser or 'pondan' . So before my mom left the hotel, my dad tried to be funny when he said " Selamat menonton pondan". It was hilarious..

So tomorrow, i'll be going to college from here.. Will update u later if anythings come up...

Love-Hate Relationship With My Ride..

It's been quite some time since i updated this blog. Busy, or maybe i suffered from writer's block. But anyway, here my new post. And its about my car again.. Remember, for the past 2-3 months, i had problem with my car. No.. no, I haven't bought a new car yet. It just that my car gave me another problem 2 days ago. I was in Tesco and just got in my car. There was a honda just got into the parking area next to mine. When I start my car's engine, some loud, wierd, eerie sound coming out from my engine and I could felt that the everybody in the parking lot laid their eyes on my car as the noise was waayyyy too loud.

Smoke coming out from my engine. I was shocked, i turned off the engine and jumped out of my car, worrying that my engine willl explode. I don't want to be in the newspaper on the following day. The guy who just park his car next to me was shocked as well and took some distance from my car, fearing that the car will explode. After a while, the sound started to fade away. Instantly, the guy next to me get back into his car and change his parking spot far from my car. After the noise was totally gone, i get back into my car and try to start my engine again. Suprisingly, everything went normal. So , I straight away drove to workshop near my place and turned out that the compressor + piping was jammed. All together with the filter and some other small parts, it cost me Rm 800.

There goes the money again.. Despite all the problems, I still love my car.

p/s : Mr Jony and Mr Sunnysideup.. Are u ready for the game? U better be...

Only Read This If U Have Nuthing Else To Do

it's already been 2 weeks since my last post. A few events took place here and there for the past 2 weeks. My brother was caught by some viral fever and got hospitalised but has already recovered. Government has decided to abolish PPSMI starting on 2012. They shouldn't start it on the first place coz it's lack of proper planning. H1N1 cases are rising but I still don't wear any mask. PAS defeated BN in Manik Urai by-election. Haze-attack in KL and still going on for now, more reason to wear mask. The most important event of all is my stomach is getting bigger and bigger. Have to eat less starting from next week, huh.. procrastination is really addictive.
