Selamat Hari Raya Wishes 2012

Salam to all,

It's 2nd Syawal 1433H today, before too late, I'd like to wish Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all. Maaf Zahir Batin.

This year is very busy for me that limit my time for blogging and artwork creation. InsyaAllah, I'm trying all my best to get back to free lance artist / designer very soon. 

What I'm doing now is to establish and prepare solid base income from blogging and internet, before I can jump into this business for full time.

Wish me luck.

Boat Ride business at Muar Jetty

We are supposed to go to Gunung Ledang waterfall yesterday, but I changed the direction after half of our journey. I had to turn back after seeing dark clouds with lightning struck. I told Adam we have to go to somewhere else and forget the waterfall. Perhaps we are going today if the weather is good.

I decided to spend the evening at Tanjung Emas, Muar. Good enough for relaxing, watching calm refreshing view of Muar river. There are also play ground for Adam and Allfiqh to get wild, climbing and swinging around.

The most adorable part is when at the end of the evening, there was one travel boat stopping at the jetty. We would like to ride on in but the time has come. It was the last ride of the day.

The travel boat is very good business based on my thought. They provide very odd service for tourist to cruising along the Muar river till Sabak Awor area. The business doing well with good respond from tourist who visiting Muar. As not many people had a chance cruising, they charge very reasonable fees for one ride - RM10 for adult and RM5 for kids.

We will absolutely come again for the ride, hopefully by today before we left for Terengganu. I'm sending Adam Harith to his grandparents for him to spend rest of the school holidays.

I have to buy pajamas

To be honest, I don’t like wearing pyjamas when going to bed. I had my last pajamas when I was in high school, because the hostel required everybody to have at lest 2 pairs of pyjamas. It was back 20 years ago and until now, I don’t have pajamas anymore. I don’t have specific answer why I don’t wear pyjamas when sleep. I prefer only my sweat shirt and my smelly shorts.. :D

It’s another story with my brother, he like pyjamas and he has big collections of men pajamas. He told me he willing to spend money to get new set of pyjamas if he find any good one and suit his size. This is because he is taller than me and fat. He said, sometimes it is not easy to find perfect size for him.

He explained to me that big & tall mens pajamas are not easy to find in the shopping mall at our town. I really don’t understand because I don’t wear any and I never try to find it. So I just listen to his story. Perhaps I can find good one for my brother on my next business trip.

But now I don’t know if I am in trouble or I like the idea. My wife revealed her secret. She said that men wearing pyjamas is sexy. She suggests me to try on a pair of pyjamas to get use to it. Perhaps I will like it, she said. I don’t know if I can agree with the idea.

Anyway, we will get one by end of the week. I think I’m going to get bright red color for the pyjamas. Maybe we can get a pair of sleepwear for her as well as she left few at her parents house last month. Anyway, I will make sure the one we are buying can make me sleep well.

Local Business Directory

Can you exactly find your desired business listing when using Google? Sometimes it is quite hard to get the results when there are too many business pages shown on top of Google or Yahoo, but none of them you wanted.

Let’s say you are in Dallas, TX and try to find local business directory, then use Google or Yahoo and the results will definitely very confusing. This happened when too many Internet marketer experts get their page listed on first page results. So, to search for local business, it’s better to refer for the real city directories.

How about this; when we just moved to new place and shortage of money, what we will do? Normally we go to nearest pawn shop to get cash for jewelry isn’t it? Back to the topic here, it will be easy if we know where to go for exact location. If we are in Dallas, just search for Dallas Pawn Shops, or if you are in Houston, go search for Houston Pawn Shops. I bet it won’t disappoint you to find the right business listings.

Remember when searching on the Internet, try to get the right tools or else you’ll waste lots of time. Besides, the search results won’t guarantee the perfect one.

Oil Painting Lesson - Wilson Bickford - Clouds

I haven't done any oil painting for quite a long time. I was too busy with my online and offline business. I was thinking to start over again. Actually painting is one kind of business.

He is good! Enjoy...

Happy birthday to me

Just bought 3 more domains for my adsense for adsense for domain project. Seems this is worth compare to my previous domain bought. For this trial, I did some research for adsense high paying keywords before get those 3 domain name.

Sometime I feel like I suppose to setup a blog for the niche but when I had second thought, I can't focus on too many blog since I already have about 10 blogs. Besides, ebay is my no 1 target this year. Adsense will be my side project for online income. Perhaps I will be more into Adsense for domain (AFD).

I'm knackered now, just back from my 1st anniversary with wife and I'm officially getting older by today.

happy birthday to me.

I've been busy traveling from Muar - KL- Muar for Adam Harith. Updating my blogs that already growing in numbers. Maintain my ebay stores and my core bisnes. And comes to worse, I got cold since yesterday after came back from KL.

Now I have to reschedule my activities for offline and online business. perhaps it is not too late for me to have my 2010 resolution (I don't have specific resolution on New Year). My hectic life sometimes make me too exhausted.. (I think it is double up when my head had too many things).

I'll try to generate more money from online bisnes, rather than offline. Hope this is will be comes true. I also want to have side income from ebay dropship. I will do it again, to pay up my frustration in 2009 doing ebay dropshipping.

Seriously, I'm exhausted.

Free Online Coupons

I didn't realize before, that we can have a good bargain if we can get 'special coupon'. Normally I will compare between one store to another for cheaper price offered. I'm quite surprise because to be honest, I never know that we can get free online coupons for shopping online!

When I asked my friend for good DIY company online, he told me to check on Home Depot. Amazingly, all prices are reasonable and seriously I'm really pleased with the items. My friend also recommend me to get Home Depot coupons for better price and discounts. Some of the coupons entitled for amazing rebate while some are more to certain percentage discount.

I feel those are great as we can save lots of penny by getting an appropriate stuffs from the right source. Sometimes we don't aware about how good if we can save our money and spend it for other use. We normally will buy when they put 'sweet words' in their adverts. Always refer to expert especially when we are dealing with money resource.

Dropship to eBay UK or ebay US?

Have you make up your mind where to start ebay dropshipping? Which one is better? ebay.com or ebay.co.uk? Based on my analysis, ebay.com have more supplier, and dropshipping has been practiced for quite long time rather than ebay.co.uk.

If you are dealing with ebay US, you have more competitor, rather than ebay UK.
If you sell on eBay US, the profit margin will be less because of price competition (especially on electronic goods).

How about the wholesale dropship company supplier?

I prefer to get local supplier, rather than China or Hong Kong dropship company. The reason is because of less risk for shipment duration. Besides, your buyer will have more confident for merchandise purchased to reach them. If I sell on ebay US, I will get supplier from US, if I sell on eBay.co.uk, I'll find for UK supplier. The other reason is easier for shipment tracking if paypal ask.

There are many UK and US wholesale company have partnership with Hong Kong or China company (because they are dealing with China products). The price is not much different especially when you have to deal with shipping cost.

Which one you prefer?

Ebay account s

I was sleeping when suddenly one of my ebay customer made a phone call. She said there is nothing displayed on my ebay page! I quite surprised as I just had everything listed and done overnight. Quickly I checked on my ebay listing and here is what ebay said:


"We regret to inform you that your eBay account is prohibited from listing additional items at this time. In order to maintain a safe trading environment, selling limits are occasionally placed on accounts. This selling limit is in no way meant to question your record with eBay or standing within the eBay community. To resolve this situation, please contact eBay's SafeHarbor Department using the Webform on the following help page.
We sincerely value you as a member of our trading community and look forward to a continued successful relationship. We appreciate your cooperation in resolving this matter as quickly as possible."



Doh! Suddently I feel like a rock crushing on my head. Really frustrated and disapointing. I don't really know what happened, but based on my observation, this is due to my paypal account that has been limited couple days before. Whats wrong with my paypal? I simply use it to pay / transfer / buy fund for another ebay account transaction related to dropship items.

Seriously this is hard for me since I have to fax them ... FAX not email, all documentations required. I am stress now. Calm down buddy. Every business has its own risk that you have to take. Solve the problem. Face it, not escape.


Hmmm.. got to do extra job.

Where to get wholesale price for head scarf ?

I'm a I was hijab @ head scarf @ tudung seller. Normally I have to get the supply for my hijab collection once a week. During the fast selling season, I manage to get the stock twice a week! But be careful when you run small business a.k.a part time business. DON'T keep to many stock as the price is keep dropping, plus the fashion is keep changing. Otherwise your stock will become 'dead stock'.

Why this happened? It is caused by oversupply from product of China and Indonesia.

Where to get the supply with wholesale price? Where to find the supplier? I have the answer for you. I won't reveal the secret here. I will expose the secret on the other blog post.

Don't forget, Puasa Ramadhan (fasting month) is just around the corner. This is the best time to start your part time small business!

Malaysian credibility using paypal and credit card for international transaction

I'm a bit frustrated now. I just face the difficulty to get dropshipper's service for my ebay. Why? Because it is quite hard to find USA base drop shipper company which provides credit card / paypal as the payment method for Malaysian. [There were few other countries with worse condition (dropshipper are not shipping stuffs to them).]

Why? Why? Why?

Why so many smart asses acting like an idiot for conducting fraud transaction? It makes the world loosing their trust for Malaysian as internet marketer. It is true we still have many other options and solution for those problems. But why we have to make our life difficult? Remember when Malaysian was banned from clickbank couple years ago until it was open back last year. It's all related to fraud.

Why you people keep doing fraud and wrong things, while you can managed your expertise for much better reason. I beg you guys please stop fraud as it will darken the chances involve with internet business. I'm afraid Malaysia will be banned from ebay and many other 'money source ' on the internet.

Muhasabah Diri : Trading : Collection

Muhasabah Diri;

Muhasabah diri; Firman Allah bermaksud: 'Maka adakah patut kamu menyangka bahawa Kami hanya menciptakan kamu sia-sia sahaja? Dan kamu tidak akan dikembalikan kepada Kami? '(al-Mukminun: 115). Saidina Umar ada menyatakan: 'Hitunglah diri kamu sebelum kamu dihitungkan oleh Allah, dan timbanglah amalan kamu sebelum amalan kamu ditimbang oleh Allah'....

Muhasabah Trading;

The company registered with SSM (Suruhanjaya Syarikat-syarikat Malaysia) or Register of Company (ROC) on September 11, 2007. The purpose for the company registration is to deal with legal business and trade for women clothing (muslimah clothing: tudung, jubah abaya, salwar kameez (jubah seluar), jilbab and related. The first idea of "Muhasabah Trading" comes after big dropped in business and life of the founder : Rosmansham Alias (also known as samdaddycool in cyber world).

Muhasabah Collection;

Established since September 2002 on ebay UK under few different names. Starts from junk and unused items, collectors item and few more stuffs, mostly collected from Car Boot (garage) sales all around Portsmouth, Southsea, Gosport, Southampton area. Those Hampshire’s car boot sales are the sparks for me starting on eBay.

After drastic change in life, I try with every piece of effort and spirit left in my vein to reconstruct, rebuild and reform the business plan. Bullshit if I tell you that everything that I achieve now is totally 100% of my effort. Honestly I'm only a human. I need support and help from others.
I'd like to thank my friend Hashim (Parit Bunga), Salem (brother in law), Raeefah, Roslee, Rizal and Rumaizah (my siblings), Alias Dawam & Fatimah Ithnin (parents), my uncles, aunts, pasar malam and pasar pagi members in Muar area. A special thanks to Hj. Zainudin Zakaria and Hjh. Zaiton Zakaria for indescribable appreciation. MPM staffs, MDT staff and everybody else with their help and cooperation.
Adam Harith bin Rosmansham : the one and only 'spirit' that keep me standing, facing the threats, challenge and pain. You are so special: my heart, my life, and my soul.
Najwa Farhana Ismail: Hope you are the one.

And last of all; Thank to Allah swt, the Almighty. I'm still here, alive, surviving, heading forward. I get back my path, my journey. Alhamdulilah for those 'magic'.
