It's Christmas or Raya Now?

People, you tell me the answer after watching this advert. Geez, I thought the dudes in TV3 can be more sensitive on this. Now, we recently got some deejays from 98.8FM being dismissed by the station, shall we see the same fate on people involves in this advert?



We shall see... interesting!

If Kids Can Understand, Why Can't Men?

While counting down to my last day of employment, I browsed through some of the great works of the late Yasmin Ahmad, these are some of my favorites;

Look carefully on the messages conveyed and whether it is by script or not, with all this nonsensical debates, arguments & criticisms, what's there left in this country?







And finally, this...



What's all these racial sentiments the politicians are shouting & fighting about? Aren't we all Malaysians? If I fell in love with a Malay, I'll convert cos love supersedes all other factor. Not the issue of race here, or who I choose as my friends, or who gets more than the other in the end of the day. Malaysia belongs to all, to us, KITA.

Malaysia at the current state - sad case!

Glory Glory Man United & Nike Advertorial

ADV: Watch the latest Nike Ad by Ronaldo



Good news on a Thursday, with a match in hand and a win this morning against the Wigan, the Devils climbed to second spot and this Sunday, we should see a new leader in the English Premier League.



However, we might be missing Rooney out because of injury against Wigan. With limited choice on the strikers, I do hope Ronaldo can again shine like he did last year which recently earned him the World Best Player award.

GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED!!!

What Happen To Nuffnang Global CPC Ads?

Guys & gals, I noticed lately, I had not been receiving ads even I set to Global-CPC settings. I am just wondering if any other bloggers having the same experience? My 2nd blog also experiencing the same.





And perhaps Nuffnang can get someone to be active in famous forum like lowyat.net, there is a discussion thread about Nuffnang vs Advertlets. Hope that I will get some ads soon.


And for LG KS20 enthusiasts, I had been having difficulties looking for a screen protector to protect my finger print magnet KS20, I found one compatible in this site. Wondering anyone had actually tried applying it? Need some advice.

Beautiful Sunday, the Devils is a step closer to be crowned the EPL champion. See you on Monday guys!

In return, it will be officially the outlet for LG to have its soft launches & events there. I am also looking for a chinese restaurant to work with and also a branded fashion retailers in Klang Valley.

Nuffnang vs Advertlets vs Nufflets

For the past few days, I received 3 emails from the above mentioned blog advertising networks. Without me elaborating more, I believe many would have receive Josh's crybaby long-winded mail explaining how he forgot to renew his site's domain. Best part is what you know? There is a line saying this "Whose fault is this? OURS", so say sorry? Pay money lah! It is like Josh offering you a packet drink, then you realise it had expired, then he apologizes claiming he forgot that it had expired... wtf??? Josh, go watch this and who cares if you going to launch your v2.0 in Feb???.... SILENCE!!! Or I'll Kill You!!!

Then I received another mail from yet another new bird in the blog advertising industry, Nufflets. To be frank, the mail was a reply to my question. Pretty prompt feedback by the owner himself, I shall give him the benefit of the doubt about his company survival in the blogosphere. My question were simple, "Why Nufflets?" Actually I roughly got the idea why it was called Nufflets, just that I want to see if this man is like the romeo above who will eventually get his company collapse. Impressive, indeed he is "Dr. Chua Soi Lek" enough to admit it was a copycat the word "NUFF" from NUFFnang and "LETS" from AdvertLETS. Good one Nabil, I am pretty sure you can do far better off than your ex-boss :)

Always save the best for last - you can labelled me as a pro-Nuffnang or whatever terms you wanna call it but the fact is I had never receive a single lame mail from Nuffnang before. Whether it is computer generated mail blast or not, thanks to Samantha, some of the Nuffnangers will be eligible to join the Nuffnang Exclusivity Program - The Nuffnang Glitterati. I am one of those Glitteratis and will enjoy far more benefits than those who put up other advertisements from other ad network in his/her blog. To all of my blogger friends who got their blog sites robbed last weekend, it is still not too late, Glitteratis campaign will be officially launched on the 13th January 2008. So guys & gals.... THE POWER IS IN YOUR HAND :P

ps: This is not an advertorial. I am not paid to write this :)

Advertlets Bankrupted

Dr Chua Soi Lek's issue aside, the above title is the most interesting this week. I made a discovery as well when I googled "Advertlets Sucks", my post was top of the list and I believe many small time bloggers had been conned by this so called"Asia's Better Blog Advertising Network"

Many Advertlets loyals who have yet to remove the ad html code from their site will be affected with their site to be redirected into another page. The only solution to it is to remove the codes totally from your site and for those who are still very much into that conman company, you can still check the latest news on the free blogspot site here.

I am not very sure how many people are actually affected by this scam. As of today, I received only one email from my reader with the nick Peace Love (Mike Ng), here is what he got to say,
"Hi, just to introduce myself first, i'm Mike, yeah same name as you, except my surname is Ng. i also have the same prob as u all. i have yet to receive my rm200++ and with a "will get back to you soon" message from Adverlets support team. i have earlier left a comment on slowcatchupkuan's post also... as for my blog, i have not yet put anything similar to ur 3 post or slowcatchupkuan post.... hope to hear from you soon. and from wat i can see, there are quite alot of us tat are in the same situation."

Advertlets support team? Support team = Josh? Should have redefined the word 'team' to 'personnel' instead. I hold no grudges nor I am pissed, I am not sure either if Josh gonna call me again and tell me his grandmother stories of why the domain was not renewed. Time is bad, cari makan susah, just do not want the entire Malaysia & Singapore blogging community being used and conned, each & every corner of our site has a value and it will be wiser to let the expert to do the advertisement marketing for us.

This week itself, I got "Youth Malaysia", "LG Viewty" & "JobsDB" occupying my ad spaces. So who is the first & best advertising network company, you decide now. The Power Is In Your Hand.

:)

More ADs From Nuffnang

After I removed totally Advertlets ads from my space, my site seems to load faster than before, I am not sure if my readers felt the same or not, and for those who came in Malaysian IP can actually see that I have 2 new ads for this week.

Although my site was not chosen for the LG Viewty campaign as of today (I am working for LG... wtf) , but Nokia advertised on mine... yippee... and also the campaign for "Kerana Karina" replacing the previous Guiness ad. I can see more Ads coming in since I fully removed Advertlets from my site.

And I had been receiving mails from readers & bloghoppers asking me to compile cases of bloggers being conned by Advertlets, there is even one who left comment in my previous posts, his willingness to share about Advertlets owner private life. Fellow bloggers, if you had any bad experiences with that company, and if you happened to blog about it, leave your permalink on the comment box, I shall compile it and share with the rest. Check out my other 2 posts about them here & here.

My very first album review tomorrow.... stay tune...
