New, Smaller Coins
Bank Negara Malaysia has issued a new series of coins, which are smaller than the old batch. This has caused inconvenience to users, particularly when they slot these new coins into vending machines, like parking machines. These machines have to be recalibrated but not all machines have been taken care of yet, with some operators [...]
Public Liability Insurance Policy
A friend is all excited about starting a new business. It is an F&B outlet that offers a new concept, according to him, and it is located in a posh area in town. I have yet to visit; it is already open for business but the grand launch will only be in March. As a [...]
Higher Interest Rates For Credit Card Balances
At least three banks in Malaysia have confirmed that they are raising interest rates on credit card balances (credit card debt) effective 1st march, 20122. They are Hong Leong Bank, Citibank and AmBank. Bank Negara Malaysia says this is not a directive from the Central Bank but the banks’ own decision, but the rates are [...]
Study For A Degree
A friend told me that she would like to gain a Ph.D. I was shocked, as she certainly does not look the studious type but I guess, for some people, studying could be addictive, and she is certainly addicted to her books if she really goes for her Ph.D! Our short chat did make me [...]
eBay Fast N Free
eBay Australia will have a new feature for its sellers in Australia, the eBay Fast N Free, which allows buyers to know at a glance which items ship for free and will be delivered within four working days. This will not be rolled out to everyone, though, but only to eBay Australia sellers who meet [...]
Bulk Purchase
My clumsy friend told me that he just bought a dozen reading glasses. According to him, he gets to save some money, and it helps to have one pair of glasses within easy reach at all times. My friend is so careless and clumsy, he is always sitting on his glasses, dropping them or worse, [...]

In an effort to convert casual sellers to take up a store subscription, eBay is running a week-long promotion from Feb. 15th to 21st, which is only for Store holders, new and existing. This applies on www.ebay.com, www.eBayMotors.com and www.ebay.ca During this promotion, sellers can list up to a maximum of 50,000 items, but do [...]
Online Back Up Service
A friend, who just started an online business, told me that he is using a “new technology” for his website. When pressed, he said it is cloud technology. Ah, I had wanted to check out this technology but haven’t found the time for my research. I am not starting a website, not at the moment, [...]
Whitney Houston Album Sales Boosted
It’s sad that when it comes to memorabilia and album sales, it usually gets a boost when the singer dies. This latest incidence is Whitney Houston, who died at the age of 48 over the weekend. Sales of Whitney Houston albums is so brisk, she took up eight of the ten slots in the top [...]
Kourtney Kardashian Auctions Pre-Preganancy Wardrobe On eBay For Charity
Kourtney Kardashian, now five months pregnant, has decided to put on eBay auction some of her clothes that she currently can no longer fit in. The items look like brand name high-end clothes and shoes! Proceeds from the sale will benefit her favourite charity. Well, I guess Kourtney thinks that when she can once again [...]
Accounting Software For Small Businesses
As an operator of a small home-based business doing everything alone, it is not easy to keep cost low, due to outsourcing of work. I just sought a quotation from an accountant that came highly recommended by a friend and got a shock. I didn’t know that accountants charge so steeply, especially when they hear [...]
Julia Gillard Missing Shoe Ends Up On eBay
A size 8 show, purportedly the shoe that Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, lost while trying to flee from protestors, has been listed on eBay Australia. The starting bid was AUD$148 but quickly shot up to AUD$2000 within minutes. eBay pulled the listing out saying that the owner of the item did not give permission [...]
Lip Enhancement
I don’t advocate cosmetic surgery solely for the purpose of beauty. I have, however, been going in an out of a plastic and reconstructive clinic so I understand that some people need to go for cosmetic surgery, not to enhance their looks but to create a look that nature did not provide. There are many [...]
Online Selling 3rd Most Popular
A recent survey carried out in the United Kingdom has found that more and more parents, or single parents, are looking to online selling to help balance the budget. In fact, online selling, or online auction, is the third most popular way to look for extra income. As raising a child is becoming increasingly expensive, [...]
Unique Gifts
A good friend just sent me a text message asking me for my opinion. She would like to buy a gift for her boss but do not know what to get. Since this is an employer gift, she doesn’t want it to be too personal, and yet, she wants to show that she is sincere [...]

Blond bombshell Pamela Anderson has come out to help Haiti earthquake survivors to get their lives back on track, by putting up on auction on eBay, her 2007 white Range Rover. Proceeds from the auction will go to the J/P Haitian Relief Organization, Sean Penn’s charity. Pamela Anderson promises to hand over the car keys [...]
Summer Swim
My friend in Australia told me that it is so hot there now he has to swim two times a day, in the ocean. He does have a swimming pool at his house but he prefers to battle the waves. He said it is not easy to keep the water in his pool clean and [...]
More Spending On Smaller Purchases
I just read an article on eCommerce that said that no doubt there are more online transactions these days, the amount spent per transaction isn’t big, meaning people are not buying expensive items, but rather daily use items or low cost items. Although more and more people trust shopping online now, and some would have [...]
Personal Injury Lawyer in Austin
A friend related a sad story to me the other day. It was about her friend who was involved in an accident while on his way to meet a client. An accident isn’t something that anyone wants and when this happened, all who were responsible tried to wash their hands off the matter. If this [...]

Apple Store came in first as the top mobile shopping satisfaction website in a recent survey. 3000 shoppers were asked of their opinion shopping at 16 online retailers. Apple Store scored 85 points, beating Amazon by just one point. The best score would be 100. Third on the list is Dell, followed by Netflix and [...]
