New year, new resolution, new me..
Just visited Taukey's blog and ooppss.. there is a challenge from him that I have to take coz the spirit of 'anak jantan pantang dicabar' :D
How happy I am to accept the challenge. (Completed 2008 challenge from Rohaizad). The spirit to compete for very tough task by him (us actually) is no big deal. As far as we believe in ourselves, dare to fail and dare to fight; Impossible is nothing (am I using Nike's slogan).
Welcome 2009, we are ready to strive for victory. Amin.
Very unic numbers on my Lelong store counter - Just before new year
A Lelong Store managed by 250176 | Manage Store | About Lelong Stores
Copyright 1997-2008 © Lelong.com.my. All rights reserved.
Those numbers are total visitors to my Lelong store 9 minutes before countdown!
Google Page Rank.. mine increased
Some people really care about the PR status, but for me, it's not much as I'm running both blogs on the free platform (blogger). Hope by 2009, I will fulfil my dream to get a dot com blog.. (I pray my paypal account will full up with fund from ebay). So I can grab an offer from my friend's affiliate link - unlimited domain, bandwidth and space.. woahhooo.. sounds great rite? But I have to provide the sum of USD $125 (if I'm not mistaken). So, I pushed my ebay listing (jubah and abaya) to be cleared!
30 minutes before 2009 shown up. Perhaps all aim, dream, effort and target from 2008 that still a dream, will become true in 2009. I’d like to wish everybody here all the best for 2009.
Got to see fireworks and back to my desk immediately for tudung Ekin at lelong and ebay … :P

Alternative during economy crisis
30th of December today, 45 hours before the countdown and I'm worried of coming 2009 with unstable world's economy. My head keep thinking of alternative income stream. Besides my tudung (scarf) at pasar malam (night market) and lelong. I have put extra effort to clearing my old stocks of jubah (abaya) on my ebay store. Seriously, the inflation keeps crossing to my mind. I have to be well prepared before sales get stuck with pile of stock.
For those with permanent job in the government sector... probably you are the luckiest person on earth for the rest of the slow activity. For the private sector employees, watch out and be careful with retrenchment. You might get sacked anytime, any moment, start from now on.
I'm not trying to scare you but please stand on the reality. When the economy is slow, trades are less in demand and will force the production to cut down. When this happen, most factories has to cut their cost in many ways.
I'm not an expert to discuss about the economy analysis but I try to convince myself to prepare for any possibilities that might happen. I'm sharing my awareness here with a hope to earn more in the future. Money is the matter. It is. Without money you can't move now days. Even 20 cents needed to enter a public toilet.
I might start a small medium agriculture project (food based industry is good during economy crisis). Maybe planting chilli using fertigrasi or melon sounds more delicious?
Are you prepared?

FOCUS! drastic change to my online business
There were lots of 'koleksi jubah terkini' hit this blog while batik lukis Terengganu sometimes coming in. My condition as a one man show businessman limits the precious time to do online business in batik, jubah (abaya) and tudung while at a same time I have to do offline sales in pasar pagi (morning flee market) and pasar malam (night market).
Tudung Ekin hit the nation with lots of promotion and gimmick from the wedding of Mawi and her. The opportunity grab by most bloggers to get the traffic while the tudung (scarf) supplier and the 'penjual' (seller) too excited listed on the front page of the serch engine.I tried my luck in doing Google Adsense which seems better (besides struggling is still the keyword here) and the affiliate show up good results in adding extra online money to me as a part time. Clickbank also hit Malaysian in mid of this year when they re- open the market again for us to try our luck.
The world economy entering the dark side as it effected most of big company and factory worker affraid of losing their job. The commodity prices dropping quite bad especially Malaysia really produce big amount of rubber and palm oil. people start to be more careful in spending their money and we also have to provide extra money to prepare for the shcool kids. When the school term starts, parents need to buy new clothing, bag, and the stationery plus writing books.
Me here, doing the internet busines as one of my income stream still have to survive in the open market. The global trade especially ebay and lelong need more effort as more people are exposed to making part time money to keep survive. I have made a deep thought to keep my self employement surviving by dropping batik from my business and focusing on Abaya and tudung with more varities and selection. Pro blogger will be one of my new target in 2009 while I will put more effort in GA, affiliate and perhaps Chitika? My ebook project still not completed. The ebook kambing jamnapari need my final touch before it is publish.
I'm in rush. My wifi internet connection back to normal just today. I got more to write. Hope get more time tonight or tomorrow.
I have to FOCUS.
ciao!

I'm crazy about tudung Ekin... :P
"Ketika ditanya perancangan selepas perkahwinan nanti, Ekin memberitahu dia berhasrat untuk membuka butik busana muslim yang menjual pelbagai jenis jubah dan juga tudung.
Minat untuk membuka perniagaan itu timbul kerana Ekin sendiri berkebolehan menjahit tudung. Percaya atau tidak banyak koleksi tudung yang dipakai Ekin adalah hasil kreativiti dia sendiri.
“Ekin minat dengan koleksi tudung yang ada batu-batu permata dan beberapa tudung yang menyebabkan Ekin menjahit sendiri tudung-tudung Ekin kerana yang dijual di luar tu agak mahal,” jelasnya.
Ketika diusik siapa yang akan mengeluarkan bajet untuk membuka butik itu, Mawi mencelah dengan berkata, jika Ekin serius, tak ada masalah untuk Mawi membantu.
Tapi dengan syarat Ekin perlu menunjukkan inisiatif dan kesungguhannya membuka butik tersebut."
It's totally nothing to do with Tudung Ikin available online, but since to many story about tudung Ekin, (plus they are arguing about the original or not).. I keep looking for this keyword.
:P
My wi fi sucks
I'm thinking of getting Celcom mobile broadband internet. I have to.
I'm stuck with my online business as I'm checking my email and affiliate program, daily.
Crap.
