You cannot get popular car plate number in these running numbers because most of them had been bidden. Plan well ahead or you can’t get the number that you want.

Malaysia top popular car plate number

Top pick numbers

Interesting numbers

Popular numbers

It is hard to get the top pick numbers especially number 1. For your information, PJT 1 was bidden with RM50,000. I can buy a Malaysian made value car with this amount already. Anyway, for those who are interesting to buy / bid popular car plate number. Be sure to tender it early. Don’t wait last minute like me. Else most of the beautiful numbers are gone…

Check out hd2apps traffic stats here ~ more than 13k unique visitors per day now. This site only 4 months old. With this kind of traffic, you should be able to earn USD1000 per month (or even more). Can you resist not to publish warez?

Hmm… Is there a loophole in Google AdSense Programme Policies?

Updated 23 June 2010 ~ both of the sites don’t publish Google AdSense ads anymore. So Warez + Google AdSense are not allowed!

Updated 30 July 2010 ~ forum.mobilism.org is back with Google AdSense ads. So Warez + Google AdSense are allowed!

LiewCF.com vs. JayceOoi.com

Hehe… At least JayceOoi.com’s page views is better than LiewCF.com ~ 300K vs. 220K. But unique visitors still shy 40K. This means JayceOoi.com has lower bounce rate than LiewCF.com too. It is hard to retain visitors from search engine. They usually come to the first page and left without browsing for the 2nd page unless your site is interesting to them.

By the way, the data above is coming from DoubleClick Ad Planner. You can check LiewCF.com stats here and JayceOoi.com stats here. You can check yours too. The data are estimated until you share your blog’s Google Analytics data.

Lastly, I always wonder how much does LiewCF earn per month. Does anyone of you see the actual earning amount from him? I cannot find it at his blog. (Maybe I did not search hard enough)

Did you ‘invest’ in The Gold Label? My friends did buy some gold bars from The Gold Label. Getting 3-5% monthly interest while holding the chocolate gold bar. They will buy back from you when it’s mature. Sound really good as you can get fast cash in short term. Too bad that I did not invest in it last year. Else I will be visiting its Penang office right now.

If everyone is taken out their money from The Gold Label now, I am sure that The Gold Label won’t have so much cash flow to pay it all back. Better be the first few to grab your precious money back. Or lose everything…

By the way, BNM said public should be wary of investing in get-rich-quick schemes to avoid losing their savings and money to fraudulent parties. Further information on illegal financial schemes can be obtained from the Financial Fraud Alert site at http://fraudalert.bnm.gov.my.

What is your blog PR now?

Earning RM500 per month is not an easy task. It took me 15 months to achieve that. Some lucky bloggers take less time. However, most of the bloggers take longer approach. Are you the lucky one? If no, it’s time for you to learn how to earn money by blogging. Blogging is not just posting whatever you like. You cannot make much money this way. The approach that I took ~ search engine optimization (SEO). Be friend with search engines. They will bring lot of visitors to you then. Or write your blog creatively like one of the Malaysia famous bloggers ~ Kenny Sia.

I cannot write the way like Kenny. I don’t blog about my life. I write mostly in software, hardware, photography and mobile topics now. And talk about travel, food and drink sometimes. Of course, I do write some popular search engine keywords’ topics too (when I have the mood. Don’t purposely find popular keywords and blog).

Learning is the key. And do get your own domain like ‘spblogger.com’ directly if you really want to make money online. A little bit investment is must. Don’t bother to use free blogspot or wordpress.com hosting then migrate. Get your own domain NOW!!! That’s the first step…

There was a spike in traffic during January to March 2009 because I changed the Google Analytics code to header from footer (You can have more traffic this way because some visitors did not wait until your page to finish loading and left).

611,650 visits in year 2009 ~ 213.97% increased from year 2008. And broke 1 million pageviews ~ 1,029,483 pageviews (195.80% increased from year 2008).

Year 2010 will be a better year. And target to have more than 5000 daily visitors and Google PageRank 5 (PR4 at least, now still PR3). Okay, let’s fight for it.

Here is some coolest new stuff…

• Global undo/”trash” feature.
• Built-in image editor
• Batch plugin update and compatibility checking
• Easier video embeds

So what is your thought? Intel is great on its CPU. And Nvidia on GPU. If they follow AMD and ATI’s footsteps, what will happen? You can see Intel CPU + Nvidia chipset + Nvidia GPU now. And Intel CPU + Nvidia GPU in one chip in the near future.

For me, I don’t care as long as both companies stock price go up.

Year    BLR     Readjust
2009    6.50%
2008    6.75%     6.50%
2007    6.75%
2006    6.00%
2005    6.00%
2004    6.00%
2003    6.50%
2002    6.50%
2001    6.75%
2000    6.75%
1999    8.00%
1998    10.50%   12.27%
1997    9.25%
1996    8.50%
1995    6.60%
1994    8.25%
1993    9.50%
1992    9.00%
1991    7.50%
1990    7.00%
1989    7.00%

Year 1998 BLR rate was the highest due to 1997-98 economy crisis. Almost all the South East Asia financial institutions were facing problem during that time. Luckily, it passed. Based on the current economy trend, the BLR rate will be higher in year 2010 and 2011 when economy is back on track.

To buy lists
HTC HD2
Nikon D700 body
Nikon 50mm f/1.4 lens
Nikon SB900 flash
Nikon 12-24 f/2.8 lens
Nikon 70-200 f2.8 VR lens (II)?
Nikon 24-70 f2.8 lens?

To sell list
Canon EOS 400D
Canon 18-55 kit lens
Canon BG-E3
Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS lens
Canon 50mm f1.4 lens
Canon 580EX II flash

Should I buy new SLR system by switching from Canon to Nikon? It is a very expensive investment…

I want to buy a new camera body from my existing Canon EOS 400D. It is just 1.6x crop body. Plan to buy a full frame body in near future. I have 2 options to choose. Canon EOS 7D which is also 1.6x crop but with better focus sensor and has video function. Or the Nikon D700 full frame body with no video ability. I don’t even think of Canon EOS 5D Mark II due to its poor focus sensor. It is almost as poor as Canon 400D ~ 9 points with 1 center cross type sensor. However, it is not a simple decision to change to Nikon because I have several lens like 18-55mm lens, 17-55mm f/2.8 IS lens, 50mm f/1.4 lens and 580EX II flash. I need to sell everything if jump ship to Nikon. But I really love the image quality of full frame body.

Looking around the web forum on buying and selling column lately. Most of the prices offer was low. Camera body price dropped the most due to new technology coming out. Luckily, the price of the lenses do not drop unless a replacement lens comes out. That is a long time because lens usually get replace in 10+ years time while body in 2 years. So better invest in lens more than body.

Guess what? I think that I have decided to stay with Canon for some times. I look at my lenses. They are so new. I am not willing to sell them off at low price. Hmm… Should I buy Canon 7D or Nikon D700?

By the way, after thinking and wondering for answer. I think that I better do this…

Focus on taking photo, not the camera and lens.

So how is the result? Well, not much traffic from this so call ‘Share it’. Therefore, I removed it immediately to save some layout space. Hmm… Why nobody want to share it? Can you tell me why?

There is lot of life insurance packages in the market. Some of them are investment, saving link. And some are just life insurance. And some include 36 critical illnesses coverage. Most of them will come with personal accident coverage too. However, which life insurance package is suitable?

Mutual Life Plus 2 Coverage
The Mutual Life Plus 2 is a term insurance policy which protect you against;
A. Group Term Life (GTL)
B. Group Personal Accident (GPA)
C. 36 Critical Illnesses

I selected Mutual Life Plus 2 from Public Mutual. It is an insurance package especially designed for unitholders of Public Mutual. I still remember that it only cost RM750 for RM200,000 life insurance package coverage when I signed up. The cost increased to RM950 the next 5 years. And RM1100 from now onward. It does not include any investment or saving on this package. Whatever you pay for this package will fully use for insurance. Therefore, you get higher coverage. That’s what I prefer.

On average investment link insurance package in the market, it is priced at RM1800 to RM2000 last 5 years (I did not do research lately, not sure what is pricing for it now). Anyway, I did not select investment link package due to low coverage @ RM50,000 only. Try to ask yourself. What can you do with RM50,000 nowadays? If you caught in an accident, can this RM50,000 manages to cover your life expenses when you are disabled? I don’t think so.

Which life insurance package do you own?

Only 1 USD = 3.32498 MYR. Come on. Bank Negara Malaysia Ringgit Foreign Exchange Rates shows 1 USD = 3.4050 MYR on 30 October 2009. Why PayPal exchange rate is so low? You will loss RM801 RM80.10 for 1000 USD-MYR conversion. That’s a lot!!!

Anyway, will check the exchange rate again next few days. See is there any improvement.

All the while, the only way to get PayPal funds out was using credit card or charge card. And there is USD 5 fee charges (RM20 now). But who want to withdraw to card when you can get it free (>RM400) or pay RM3 fee (<RM400) to local bank?
