My son…my world

Notes : Awas gambar adalah tidak begitu berkaitan dengan cerita. Harap mak long. Hehe.

Gambar masa iftar hari tu. Ichiro seronok kene dukung dgn tante TJ. Kami makan dekat Thai Thai, Sunway Pyramid.

Ini food yg kami makan di Thai Thai. Setappppppp. Ada tomyam seafood, ikan stim and kangkong belacan. We paid roughly RM30 per head sekali dgn drinks. Kami chip in.

I ada mention hari tu kan yg I was thinking to work again…but I wasn’t that sure lah masa tu, mcm 50-50. I don’t know what I want actually. Sometimes I feel am too greedy lah. Semua pon nk buat. I want to work but I enjoy working from him, run my own business and jaga anak sendiri.

But lately, I think I can make my final decision on this matter already. Hope it’s final lah kan. Hehe. I can sometimes being so indecisive tell ya.

Ichiro tengah aim lori batu yg abg aymen tengah pegang. Yg pegang Ichiro tu is Auntie Dida (Wahida), mak Aymen = my good friend sejak uni dulu. Kalau tk kerana Wahida ni, I tk jumpa my husband sekarang kot. Wahida lah match maker kami dulu

So, fikir-fikir…for now I rasa I selesa kerja sendiri and jaga anak sendiri. My little hero tu is everything to me. Sekarang ni pon, nk tinggalkan anak dgn bibik sekejap I resah memanjang, inikan pulak nk tinggalkan 8-9 jam! Ohhh can’t imagine that lah. Kalau tinggal dengan my mom or family, I still ok lagi. Tapi kalau stranger totally cannotttt lahhhhh. Boleh bercerai jiwa dibuatnya.

Tadi aim jer…ni rampas sudahhh. Aymen tengah panik diserang si kecik chiro. Hehe.

I berdoa semoga tuhan sentiasa murahkan rezeki bisnes Usana, Chocolate and soon Hijab insyallah. So, I tk perlu lagi ada beri kata dua to myself or berkira-kira nk kerja semula. I pon tk tahu kenapa I nk kerja semula. Kenapa eh? I rasa sbb I belum pernah merasa dapat kerja di company yg benefit nyer bagus, so tu yg before I declare I retire dari dunia bekerja pejabat, I nk la merasa kerja dgn company yg benefit bagus.

Itu sahaja rasanya sebab musabab nk kerja semula. Huhu. Tapi sekarang time-time raya, adalah heaven ok tk kerja. Hahahaha. I cakap dengan Imran, wow tahun ni my cuti raya is 365 hari!!! Tkder saper yg kerja dapat cuti raya that long. Haha. Imran jeling sebab menyampah jer dengar statement pura-pura terkejut I tu. Huhu. Mmg sajer nk bikin panas hati dia.

Group photo. Tgk budak berdua kt depan tu. Hehe asyik dengan toys. Aymen dah big boy, dia cool jer kasik Ichiro conquer lori batu dia. Thank you Aymen kasik adik chiro pinjam lori

By the way, I aman damai di kampung sekarang. Syok malam-malam tulis blog and menjahit sambil dengar mercun dan letupan meriam buluh. Mercun dekat kampung ni tk sama dgn mercun kt PJ sana. Mercun kt sini mercun picisan jer, bunyi letup mcm bunyi motor rempit pancit, tapi I like. Nostalgic bunyi mercun roket tu. I belum jalan-jalan kt luar lagi time malam-malam, tapi tadi siang lalu sepanjang kampung tengok dah ada pelita!!!!! Ahhhhhhh I love pelita so much. I rasa setiap tahun nk raya sure I repeat benda yg sama kt blog ni. Hahah. Mak I plak too busy nk layan berpelita bagai, so rumah I pelita belum menjelma lagi. Tapi dah ada standby kt belakang dah, tinggal nk letak minyak tanah jer.

Mommy it hurts! Ichiro terjatuh sampai benjol. Kesian dia dh penat sangat sampai jalan pon trip.

Mak kasi rasa biskut suji yang dah siap. Biskut suji mak tahun ni colorful! Kurang rasa suji, tapi tetap sedap.

“Mak…suji ni tk berapa suji lah mak…dia tk melekat kt gusi”

Hehe..mak I temper jer I komen-komen. Tapi komen-komen pon, dah dekat setengah balang habis, tk sure sampai raya ada lagi ker tak biskut tu. Hihih. Hmm..now ada terasa nk gi makan biskut suji lagi. Alahai biskut kesukaan ku! Kenapalah setappppp sangatttttt.

Esok, nk pergi amik tudung tempah dekat tailor. Harapan menggunung tinggi semoga jadilah tudung rekaan I tu. Aminnnn. I still belum appoint sapa-sapa lagi utk jadi main tailor, sbb nk timbang tara harga dan mutu keunggulan jahitan serta kepantasan menjahit seperti lipas kudung. Hihih. Will keep u guys posted! And oppsss…I baru terfikir another design tudung smlm. Harap masa launching boleh la introduce semua design in one shot.

Hmmm..busy mode, seronok mode, excited mode..la la la la haiiii senangnyer dalam hati…:D

Blogging Tips ~ Ads Network , great way to make money via blog

Posted by Mrs Imran on Aug 30, 2010

There are actually many ways to make money via blog. You just got to pick one that suit your most. For this time around lets talk about network advertising, another great method to earn money online.

I personally loves making money via advertising revenue, it is by far I reckon as the best method to earn money online. I used to display only one type of ads banner from one ads network company on my blog previously which was Nuffnang. But since Nuffnang have some sort of “Gliterrati” member status where it prohibits website owner to display any ads banner from other ads network company in order to remain as gliterrati, thus I never look elsewhere for other opportunity.

Only early this year I started to realize that I didn’t actually earn cash up to the maximum amount that my blog capable to. I seldom get buffer ads for my blog let alone opportunity to write advertorial albeit my blog getting better in rank and rapid increase in amount of unique visitors a day . I definitely have no idea why , but I just simply assume that Nuffnang has too many blogs to handle already, so I guess it is about time for me to move to other network which appreciates me more.

Generating income by placing ads banner is by far my favourite, because it’s easy. I just need to place the banner on my blog and forget about it, money will start to flow in as long as I keep traffic to my blog steady. Simple right? It’s a child play I should say. I don’t even need to ask people to click on the ads, but if they do, it’ll be a bonus for me. If they don’t it won’t hurt me much as normally earning from CPM campaign which depend on the amount of unique visitors to my web is quite satisfying already.

There are many revenue model here I include some;

CPM (Cost Per Mille), also called “Cost Per Thousand (CPT), is where advertisers pay for exposure of their message to a specific audience. “Per mille” means per thousand impressions, or loads of an advertisement. However, some impressions may not be counted, such as a reload or internal user action.

Verdict : I love CPM because I only need to get lots of traffics to my blog and keep it steady and no write up or clicking on ads needed.

CPC (Cost Per Click) is also known as Pay per click (PPC). Advertisers pay each time a user clicks on their listing and is redirected to their website. They do not actually pay for the listing, but only when the listing is clicked on.

Verdict: Not my favourite but high pay though compare to CPM. However, from my observation advertiser are getting wiser nowadays in creating their ads banner, flashy and interactive ads banner is no doubt very attractive and manage to invite more clicks.

CPE (Cost Per Engagement) is a form of Cost Per Action, differing from cost-per-impression or cost-per-click models, a CPE model means advertising impressions are free and advertisers pay only when a user engages with their specific ad unit. Engagement is defined as a user interacting with an ad in any number of ways.

Verdict: I don’t really pay attention to CPE, but I think it does offer highest pay compare to CPM and CPC. CPE not only requires visitor to click on the banner but it also inquire visitor to engage (like purchase or ordering something from their website) in order to get paid for the ads.

As for the ads network company, my favourite so far is Innity. Or course, there are many other companies that you can apply to. Many of it does not has any requirements such as need to have own domain or certain amount of unique visitors a day, but there are also some quite strict and certain requirements to be fulfilled before you could display the ad.

Since am no longer an exclusive member of Nuffnang, now I feel free to put up ads as much as I want. No barrier at all. The best part, all of the network didn’t set any limitation to website or blog owner to just display their ads, instead they willing to provide their space for other ads in case the got no ads to show. So, I can actually put up other network banner for rotation whenever there’s no ads showing. Best kan? Sampai sekarang I tk berapa faham motif Nuffnang tk benarkan letak ads dari network lain. Takut competition kah?

At the moment I’ve already signed up as a publisher to the following ads network company;

Innity (My favourite so far)
Mangga Ad (Lack of information provided in the website, just simply place the code and observing)
Adbrite (Newly registered yesterday )

Pending for approval;

Admax Network (I’ve already applied for few times, still no news or reply from them yet, I wonder why it took so long for them to respond, hope that payment would not be slow too )
Perfomancing Ads (It’s kinda ad exchange network, haven’t go through for details, but hmmm interesting to try, awaiting their reply even though they kinda close for new registration)
Chitika (currently available for user in US, Canada and Europe. But they are slowly expanding and soon I foresee they will penetrate asia market as well. Registration however open for all country. So, I just simply signed up. Hee. But ads still now showing due to they’r some sort in upgrading phase so approval for new registration being holding off temporarily until upgrading work complete)

Adakah boring entry ini? Hahah..to some maybe yes, but to blogger yg mencari-cari tips utk mendapatkan online income, ini mungkin entry yg boleh buat mereka teruja. Tapi sorry lah yer, I just share ringkasan jer, tk dapat nk tulis too details as I got an agenda lay ahead for tomorrow already. So, need to sleep early. Got question? simply drop comment ok.

p/s: I didn’t include Adverlets in the list, as I heard so many bad comment about Adverlets, you can read on Kak Kujie’s blog, review for Innity and Adverlets. If you guys ada nak tambah, feel free to do so ok.

Happy Monday!

“Ketupat” Chocolate for Aidilfitri

Filed Under Chocolate, Hari Raya | 2 comments

I got a plan for tomorrow morning, hence need to sleep early tonight and I guess I will just leave you guys with 2 photos of Lonia chocolates. Just realized that haven’t publish some of the pictures here as I only uploaded it in facebook and totally forgot to blog about it. Ahh me and my forgetfulness. …..

If you can’t get ketupat asli for hari raya, why not try our “Ketupat” chocolate? It is very tiny and not too sweet sbb kami combine 2 layers of chocolate. Top layer is white chocolate and bottom is milk, so that the sweet taste of white chocolate can be reduce a bit. You can also opt to single flavor if you don’t fancy double layer chocolate and green color ketupat chocolate also available. Yeah like a real ketupat!

It is also easy to be eaten with just one bite (u don’t even need to bite actually, letak jer atas lidah and kemam-kemam, but for me, kalau makan chocolate I always kene gigit la dulu hehe, sbb dah habit)

We are still open for orders for the chocolates for late buyer. But we are in alarm mode already though not alarm zone yet We are still capable to take orders with one condition, all orders must be place and send before 1/9. So, we are really sorry that we cannot entertain sapa-sapa yg nak pick up the orders last minute (except yang dah book earlier and dah buat payment). Mcm dah dekat nk raya nk pickup, because so far kami buat chocolate ni fresh..yes it is really a fresh homemade choc, tailor made to your order. So, kalau dah nk dekat2 nk raya baru nk pick up kami worried takut tk sempat  and afraid that unforeseen circumstances might happen. To be on the safe side, we gonna set the last delivery date on 1st of September (Wednesday) and we only take the orders seriously after full payment being made.

After that, if still ada orders coming in and we think we are capable to take the order, we will still accept it. So, don’t be shy to ask ok. Kalau kami relaks takder kerja nk buat, we will make the chocolate for you, but kalau big orders most probably tk sempat lah. Small-small one can

So, have fun all, shopping raya this weekend ok Selamat bershopping!

p.s: oh btw, orders for “the brand” (msg me if you wanna know what is “The Brand”, if you  have a very sharp eyes kindly observe, hint is everywhere on my blog) supplement and health care products sentiasa open bila-bila masa ok sebab memang takder time limit utk order . have you ready with new stock of your daily supplement and diet shake? nnt masa raya you will desperately need all that. trust me

p.p.s: Need a hint of what “The Brand” is? Ok here goes…am an independent distributor of what company?
