Setting up my blog

“Setting up my blog”

Thanks to Andrew Boey‘s guidance and prompting, I’ve now got my GoDaddy domain setup done, got my HostGator account working. In preparing for Jo Han’s class this weekend; I’ve managed to re-confirmed my account details in Paypal & ClickBank. And completed my registration at PayDotCom – the site kept upselling during registrations with pretty attractive offers, I called up Jo Han’s enquiry number and was told that I don’t need any of those upsell items, so I got through the process soon thereafter. Andrew reminded me about Adsense, so I have done that up.

So, I am here to share my experience if you need to chat with someone regarding the following:
GoDaddy
HostGator
PayPal
ClickBank
PayDotCom

Hosting my blog

“Hosting my blog”

Alright, got my HostGator done.  But I’m too tired today to do anything further, so I simply copied my Blogger.com page at http://phlim.blogspot.com and pasted it into the root directory of my hostgator account as index.html.  And Viola!, page is up.  Okay now I need to sleep, still got a job to do tomorrow.

Meeting of minds

“Meeting of minds”

It was great to meet up with like minded partners at Funan MacDonalds yesterday morning. Andrew Boey help us set up a plan and gave us some starting tips on what to do first. We registered as a member to his website.

Now I’ve got my domain name selected and would be setting up a hosting site.

I’ll share more once the above two is completed.

I don’t think Blogger.com likes me to redirect this blog over to my new site, but I’ll see what I can do to put up a link and continue from there.

In the afternoon, I was a volunteer at the South East CDC’s MoneyWise program at Simei Community Club.  I hosted 2 needy families to a MoneyWise board game.  It was rather fun, the two families were very proactive and both feedback that it was a good hour of fun at the game.

At the event I met Ms Belinda Koh and Hoong Yip, I met them previously at the SECDC Office during our MoneyWise training a week ago.  Both are from YMCA and Hoong Yip is looking for students who need to projects for their Community Immersion Program while Belinda is from the Childcare & Development Centre; she is looking for teachers and assistants for her Sims Branch in Geylang.  I promise to help them pass on the requests to my connections.  If you are reading this and can help, let me know.

Fabian Lim’s 5 step Internet Marketing Success Model

“Fabian Lim’s 5 step Internet Marketing Success Model”

By now the 5 steps is no longer considered a secret, if you are a member of Fabian Lim’s membership list, he would have already offered it to you for free. So I am not blogging the 5 steps, just some thoughts as I start to internalise what I have learned at the 2008 Asia Internet Congress, starting off with some personal thoughts on the above.

The direct URL to Google’s Adwords Keyword tool is fantastic, so even if I am not at my own computer, I don’t have to do a search. This direct URL is also very easy to remember..

The live example provided with the keywords ‘left handed electric guitars’ was very helpful. We can read as much as we want, but a visionary demonstration that we could see right before our eyes is surely worth more than a thousand written words.

Blue Ocean Strategry; this was well said and presented, most times a lot of us, muah included, just follow the crowd and we wonder why are ended up with mediocrity. We don’t have to be very big in order to be a big fish in a small pond, but surely we have to be as large as a humpback if we want to be a big fish in the ocean. That’s negating the fact that the humpback is a mamal, not a fish.

T. Harv Eker’s teaching of TFAR is so very relevant. Our Thoughts leads our Feelings which leads to our Actions which generates the Results. A lot of times I do a lot of thinking (Thoughts) and inevidently without my knowledge it lead to a lot of emotions (Feelings). This is the point where my Mindfrick kicks in at overdrive. And many times I never take the required Actions. Sitting down again and again, wondering why I don’t see any Results. Well, ACTIONS speaks louder than words. I am a Warrior, I am willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES ! AHO! AHO! AHO!

Quotable Quotes

“Quotable Quotes”

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.

And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.

And he rang mine buy we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.

Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.

‘Tomorrow’ I say! ‘I will call on Jim
Just to show that I’m thinking of him.’
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.

Around the corner, yet miles away,
‘Here’s a email sir,’ ‘Jim died today.’
And that’s what we get and deserve in the end.

Around the corner, a vanished friend.

Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Don’t be afraid to express yourself.
Reach out and tell someone what they mean to you.

Because when you decide that it is the right time
it might be too late.

SEIZE THE DAY. NEVER HAVE REGRETS

And most importantly, stay close to your friends
and family, for they have helped make you the
person that you are today.

Taken around the same area as the previous picture. I guess a Malaysian fighter jet must have just passed by, leaving behind the white tail in the early morning sky.

Sunrise in Malacca!

This was taken during my office retreat in Malacca. We paid Wheels-for-fun to run the retreat for us. This morning, they dug us up in the wee hours of the morning, drove us over to this beach area. We did the standard 5BX stuff then trotted along the beach. Along the way we pass by an old Japanese Soldier Camp, with a worn out bath area. It was a little too errie to get a picture, so I pass. Okay, okay, I chicken out. The route took us to the lighthouse which was a fancy little place up in a high spot. I guess it serves as a marker for all the shipping vessels using the Straits of Malacca.
