Yesterday, had lunch with a few friend at the Pho Hoa Vietnamese Restaurant @ Suntec City.

The restaurant is located in the corner of newly created area, PlayGround at the level three. Not easy to find if not for the direction.

This is my first time to try Vietnamese food.

First, we tried the Vietnamese spring roll (Cha Gio), the spring roll skin is pan fried till crispy, with assorted vegetables inside. It served with sweet and sour sauce. Not very oily.

Yesterday, after lunch with a few friend in Suntec City, I met a very important person for the day.

This very important person is in his annual walkabout and I’m so lucky to meet him.

I won a Food Blender lucky draw in company Annual Dinner & Dance last night, after met him in the afternoon.

So many years of attending company dinner & dance, this is my first time to won something. (Really!)

Could be this important person give me luck?

OK, let me show you who is this very important person.

His is God of Fortune.

God of Fortune is a very important figure in tradition Chinese New Year. Everyone want to keep the God of Fortune in their home, to bring more fortune or luck into the family.

Do you want this very important person to visit your home?

Just got email from NETS, the electronic payments network in Singapore, that they’re closing the eNETS Virtual Account service.

The reason given is more consumers are using credit cards and debit cards to make online payments.

eNETS Virtual Account was launched in 2001, as a micro-payment solution for both the Internet and mobile arenas.

I registered the eNETS Virtual Account since it was launched 7 years ago, but as far as I remember, used only once to pay bill.

I noticed that more online merchants also accepting Internet banking fund transfer, PayPal and other payment mode to consumers now.

As new technologies are introduced, we have many ways to make bill payment and do online shopping, such as credit/debit card, vPost, Visa Bill Pay, PayPal, even we can use Cash Card and EZ-link card at home with the card reader.

For the most expertise training in the technological world today, a mcse certification will give you recognition of the world of Microsoft. Through microsoft training, professionals can develop all different types of solutions. For the network professional, cisco training will help you to specialize in implementing and managing networks. The ccnp certification will broaden your career path to be able to professionally work with WAN and LAN networks. The ccna certification is for installing configure and operating routers and networks. Managers who are interested in higher education, itil training should be a must.

I don’t see any benefits using eNETS Virtual Account, as I need to top up money in the Virtual Account first, before doing online shopping or bill payment.

While reading some blogs about two local Internet Ads companies on their customer services, no ads, exclusive club and so on, I received email from LinkWorth that payout has been made to my PayPal account.

LinkWorth paid me USD$41.06 for the one and half month of displaying rotating ad links. Another US$28 is pending for payment next month. No bad for a small technology site that I run (not this blog).

No point of complaining this and that.

I don’t want to waste too much time to complain, just spend more time to improve the ranking and site popularity.

If company X don’t give me ads, I just look at company Y. There are hundred online advertising companies out there.

Use Google to search.

If this one doesn’t work, jump next.

I hear someone talk about loyalty. I can tell you that, there is no loyalty toward Internet advertising industry.

I’m loyalty to the money, not company.

WidgetBucks’s motto is Ads suck, ours don’t. I think, WidgetBucks is lagi suck.

Previously, I highlighted that WidgetBucks started to offer CPM ads for international traffic.

According to WidgetBucks, initial CPM rates will be low. My statistics shown that CPM is very very low for international traffic. Furthermore, they don’t pay traffic from Asia, such as Philippines, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, China, Egypt, and Romania.

Rates for other countries, such as Taiwan, some parts of the Middle East, some parts of South America and other regions earn under $0.10 CPM.

CPM or Cost-Per-Thousand Impressions is referring to advertising bought on the basis of impression.

In this case, $0.10 CPM / 1000 impressions = $0.0001 per impression

To earn $10 at $0.10 CPM rate, you need 100,000 impression.

Last month, I only managed to get slightly above 10,000 impression combined in various blogs.

Till todate, my earnings and commissions is $25.63, which $25 is from Sign Up bonus.

If I continue using WidgetBucks, when will I reach to the minimum cash out amount of $50?

I don’t know whether to use WidgetBucks or not??
