This popular alien space ship turbo has so many nick name. Among the name are bajak, bedozer, bulldozer, mesin keh (I heard how they pronounce this at the east coast), digger, and many more.. (check engineering vehicle).

If you think this is your hot vehicle, please reconsider as Petronas has launch new promotion, that ends by 31st january 2009. Petronas hot cars, cool cash promotion.
Plus RM 1, ooo, ooo ( 1 million!!!) cash prizes

This is sound insane!

Just grab a chance to win one of the hot cars - BMW 325i sports & Honda Civic Hybrid. The cash prizes - RM 50,000 x 4 winners, RM10,000 x 20 winners, and RM1,000 x 100 winners.

To put yourself on the list of the lucky person, what you have to do is purchase at least RM20 from any Petronas Station. Every purchase of RM20, entitle you for one entry.
Hmmm... how they can track the winner? It is simple, when purchasing, use any debit, credit, charge card, SmartPay or Kad Mesra. The system will track your details.

Painting for money, blogging for what??

Recently I've been working very hard to increase my income for November and December. Since the world economy has been dropped and effecting the buying power of most citizens. My ebay sales also dropped and it is far from my expectation. I have to put more effort to do sales offline and do another option for internet marketing.

This matter really made me sick and I always push myself for another solution and be creative. Alhamdulillah, my effort start showing good results. Honestly, self employement is not as easy as I thought before, especially when all the bills and debt are due.

Luckyly I have a gift as I can produce an art material (painting). These paintings has been posted to United States today (combined 2 paintings bought from the same person) with the posting cost of RM110.30 (nearly 2 kg weight). It is a good start for me to generate extra income from batik painting (batik lukis @ batik tulis).

This batik painting (burgundy orchid) just framed today and I am thinking of get it listed on eBay Australia for auction tonight. I really aware to open an auction @ eBay.com as people try to be more careful on spending their money. Even Christmas is just around the corner, I don't want to put extra promotion for ebay dot com.




My Stonehenge Horizon original oil painting is still on auction and there is no bid while
the time left is 2 days and 10 hours. The bid starts at USD $19.99 and there were 2 person watching the item. Dunno if they are really interested or just spying. Hope the bid can increase for higher amount at the closing.

I'm doing this as an alternative of making money online, while blogging is still something that I can't find the rhythm yet ... Why I am blogging??? Perhaps I can be a millionaire through blog? Another reason to put me into blogging are affiliate program (this already paid me quite a lot! .. so far).

Istill remember the matter that made jump into blogging world is because of the goat (kambing jamnapari). The blog was created just to market the goat at the first place. Then, I was eager to generate money with Google Adsense, that forced me to setup few more blogs (free blogs using blogger platform)... One of the blogs created was samdaddycool.blogspot.com (formerly known as duit2duit.blogspot.com).. :)

Now I'm addicted to blog and the internet while trying to market my products online.

So what is your reason for blogging?

Kluang station at TESCO Melaka

Lots of SAJOHA members (SMSJ, Kluang) really enjoy having kopi 'O' (black coffee) and roti bakar (toast bread) at Kluang train station. I went to TESCO Melaka (next to Melaka Sentral) and I snap this photo. I guess this might be the new version of that Kluang Train Station kopitiam.

Anyone who knows about this?
