To tell you the truth, I believe that there is an infinite possibility on the things that you can do online. Every single thing that you can think of – there are ways to monetize it. In the past I wanted to establish an online e-commerce site selling my wares. Although as time passed (that was close to 10 years ago), my passion for setting up an online store has dwindled. Come to think of it, online advertisement is something rather lucrative compared to selling things online.
 Past experience has thought me to do simple things rather than complicated ones. In the past I have been a
1. Macromedia Director freelancer where I completed a single project in 2 months (which was wayyyy too long by standards) and earned a meager $150 or RM500 for that entire 2 months. I had sleepless nights and I didn’t bath for a couple of days in a row. Not to mention, I didn’t even have the time to brush my teeth when I went to see my client. I considered myself being cheated for being naïve at that time.
2. Later I ventured to become a Flash freelancer – same ol same ol. Sleepless nights but the pay was better as I know how to demand more from the person who hired me. Anyway, the project was just some simple flash advertisements. (I got $350 or RM 1,200 from that project. In fact it was 2 projects where I got $350 or RM1,200 each)
3. When I graduated at the age of 24 (which was pretty old by standards), I ventured out into the corporate jungle and met managers whom I consider as gorillas then. Some are plain bullies while others are caring and supportive. Little did I know that there was a huge problem brewing in the department and waiting to explode. I narrowly escape the corporate onslaught filled with inquiries and interrogations as my contract with the company expired and I left.
Well I know some might say that I’m still young but then again I do have my fair share of experience. Personally, I think that a business should be:
 1. Simple – where you don’t need to do much to earn the money
2. Less hassle – where you don’t need to follow up on your clients after you have delivered the end product
3. Requires very minimal start up and maintenance – where you just need maybe a couple of dollars and turn it into thousands or probably millions and eventually the maintenance is covered by the money that you have made
4. Gives you exponential income – your income grows exponentially over time and if you are dealing in US dollars, I believe that it’s pretty lucrative judging from the exchange rate of RM3.50 per dollar
5. An international business with no boundaries
Cheers and have a great day! |

Hi, welcome to my site and I would love to thank you for visiting! Nevertheless, I believe that you would definitely want to know a little about me – you clicked on the link right? :)
Qualification wise, I have a Degree in Computing and I also hold a Master in Business Administration specializing in Information Technology. I started my career working for a huge Multinational Company dealing in the oil and gas sector. However, like any typical organization, I felt my daily work was like living inside a pressure cooker.
My previous work experience thought me valuable lessons – no matter how hard I work, every single drop of effort that I put into my work was not properly compensated. Imagine this: You worked your ass off and spent a minimum of 10 to 12 working hours per day and sometimes you even work on Saturdays and your entire effort is justified by a single yearly performance review which gives you 5% to 10% pay increment.
I don't think this justifies anything!
I went for a course called AsiaWorks (MB103) and that pretty much helped me sort things out. Later I found a powerful movie called ‘The Secret’ which totally changed my life. While I was watching the movie, I got a calling saying that I should venture online and I did.
The initial startup of my online venture was tough, but I persisted! The first month I made $150 bucks online or rather RM500. 6 months later I tripled what I was earning previously. And as of today, I have over 20 domains up and running.
Nevertheless, I want to share with you a short video clip of ‘The Secret’ which I managed to locate on YouTube.

 You might not notice this and I believe that it’s a huge lie when someone says that living in Malaysia is cheap. Of course there are several things that come cheap in Malaysia but then again if you take a look at our daily necessity, it’s really a bomb to your wallet.
I’ve been hearing again and again from friends, newspaper, radio, TV, the government that living here is cheap. Think again,
1. An average fresh graduate’s pay is roughly RM1500 to RM2500. 10 years ago it was also in that region. 10 years later which is today we are still getting the same pay. Not to mention, professionals out there, yeah this includes you as well – 10 years ago you were getting an average of RM3000 to RM5000 for a senior to managerial level position. Guess what? You are still getting the same pay!
2. Apart from the never existing pay increment, you don’t even notice this – Cost of living keeps increasing! For example, 10 years ago fuel was roughly RM1 per liter. Buying a Proton car was roughly RM25,000 and above. Guess what? Fuel now is RM1.92 per liter and buying a Proton car is RM40,000 and above! Cheap car also got – neh the Iswara new model la, so lousy after using 2 years the whole damn car is rattling!
3. Everything is increasing except your pay! Buying petrol in US costs $10 per week. How bout Malaysia? RM40 to RM50 per week. Buying a nice car like Jazz is roughly $19,000 or lesser in the US. Malaysia? You earn RM2000 and you have to fork out RM100,000 and more for a damn Jazz!
Malaysians are too contented. That’s too bad. Not only lazy to do more, they don’t even realize the reality of what’s happening around them. I can tell you – this is an economic crisis and before you know it there won’t even be a middle class anymore. Like stated in the book written by Donald Trump and Robert T. Kiyosaki, in the future there are only the rich and the filthy rich and the poor or hardcore poor. Still want to be where you are today?
Time to choose sides people! |
If you haven’t notice, it’s always Malaysia, Malaysia, Malaysia… I went to LCCT today and some thoughts cropped up my mind. You know the funny thing? More than 10 years ago when the Subang Airport was still operational, the ‘then’ international airport has uncanny similarity with the ‘now’ LCCT.
This made me think – why the heck did Malaysia build an airport in the middle of nowhere where there are only 3 access roads to it from the city?
1. From the city to Serdang area to Nilai area using the NS-highway which takes more than 40 minutes to an hour
2. From Subang Jaya which takes 40 minutes
3. From Nilai town itself 20 to 30 minutes
You know what’s the funny thing? The terminal looks part like Subang Airport.. It’s like an upgrade and then suddenly downgrade.. and I wonder what’s next?
