Merry 12 Days Christmas!

Merry Christmas~! A rainy morning and evening indeed,on the 24/12/08. It has been unusual to suddenly have a heavy rain in the morning,and then later in the evening. lol. But anyway, plans to go for dinner and pubbing with my friends are fixed.

Mad Jack Review:

Me and my team of 4 friends went to Mad Jack, an Australian Halal cafe at Selegie, Pomo Mall. Prior to this, i did not manage to book the seats because the "Crazy Chick" stuff told me there is not necessary for reservation,and for reservations of 10 ppl and above have been all booked. So we took chances in the evening anyway.

When we arrived around 8.20pm, all seats are occupied. But luckily, it took us about 5 minutes to be on the waiting list. Me and 1 of my friend, T.Y ordered each,a Rib-eye steak and i asked for Medium Rare for the both of us. The rest ordered Chicken chop, bake rice and grilled fish menu. Payment to be handed over to counter 1st, with GST exlusive. No service charge, however.(Because there's not much service,either). 10% discount for SCDF,SAF,SPF and Cisco staffs with valid card ID.

Rib-eye steak was less than the menu that i've expected, and thinner than i expected. I thought it looked like Chicken Chop at 1st. But after a clearer glance,it was a thin piece of steak,indeed.

What happened to me was that i discovered my medium rare steak was far less than medium rare.....it looked more like rare,when i tried to cut the steak with my knife. And when i put it into my mouth to bite, i had to puke it out to a serviette. This was because the medium rare steak i had was far less than medium rare,while my friend T.Y, his was properly done. So i had to call out to a Crew to re-cook it. And then it took about 5 mins,for my re-cooked steak to be served on my table. It was less than pleasant dining,but overall,i would say, it is okay, and it is deem possible for the next visit.

Rating : 7.5/10.

KTV Pub Review:

The next destination we went was 'Bonkers 56' KTV pub,recommended by another senior friend of mine. He was with his wife and a his wife's friend there. So me and 2 of my friends,L and W.L(while 2 left for their agenda after dinner) went to link up with my senior friend at Bonkers 56. As usual, the interior was built like what a normal ktv pub does, with no frescos and corning. Just plain ktv pub, dark inside, and with deafening musics. Perhaps it was a Christmas eve, so loud techno musics was played than having ktv songs available. Not much dancing from people though, most just sat and drank around, or play card games. China babes are seen around to entertain the clients, though no hanky panking was spotted. So it's just casual,and no tips was seen given. Overall, i would said it is no different from any other pubs. No real parking slots available,so most patrons will just park illegally along the 2 yellow lines pavement, until TP comes. Price for a tall tub of beer is $55.

Practical Self-defense system

Krav Maga(Contact Combat) is an Israel's defense force fighting system. It is one of the most practical and applicable defense tactic that all without martial arts background can learn and adopt. Not just men, but ladies are well suited to this defense system.



After all these years studying martial arts, my thinking has evolved from committing from an Art to practical defense techniques. I discovered that, all other martial arts can be used as a form of self defense, but in a limited way. Generally,if one was to intent to lift up his/her form of chosen art, he/she will have to learn and expose to other arts,and incorporate all their best techniques, to complete his/her own art call "the chosen art". It is up to oneself to create the love and understanding of the philosophy of one Art,by wearing the Gi,by keeping fit,giving respect and practising the patterns and going for grading. Practical or not, the one who train will just train,due to the sake of passion and commitment to the Art. As certain Arts has evolved to sports, training and then getting into tournament is a norm, just like army trains and goes in ATEC(Army training evaluation centre).

My studies tells me that to really prepare oneself for real life self defense, and if not to appreciate an Art, Krav Maga will be the most practical defense systems. As my research goes further,i've discovered that CKM, known as 'Commando Krav Maga', proves to be better and more devastating for hardcore self defender cum combat personnel. Nevertheless,i will be seeking this new defense system in my life,also to carry on with TKD(as promised my coach), and hang on in Karate(My 10 years roots).

So u want try MLM and Internet marketing?

Let's talk about this MLM(Multi-level marketing)and internet marketing. MLM was previously known as Pyramid marketing,and it was later banned,due to the unethical earning model. MLM companies have been in Singapore since years back and is still on the go.
Base on empirical studies,MLM's 1st priority is to recruit people to join them, and as their downlines goes further down, it escalates the upline's chances of monetary earning or accumulating points. When a downline joins the company as a member,part of the membership includes paying a fee to get the products(deemed as trials),while joining as a member. Depending on how much items or what package the downline buys,and base on each individual MLM's companies points/monetary system,the upline earns or accumulate their respective points/amount. Want to achieve a BMW? Car? You got to be the most toplined,or on your personal part, be the most charismatic to be able to recruit lots and lots of people to earn big money! MLM,can be deemed the simplest method of earning,yet,the hardest. Easy to say, if you can do your business marketing in whatever way possible and close the deal,u can do MLM. If you can recruit people on your own in anyway possible and make them join or sign up,u can do MLM. Be warned. MLM is not consider recognised work experience. And products selling through MLM can be a perceived scheme. What they want to achieve,is the recruitment,than getting consumers to buy the products. And wth price skimming, MLM companies are definitely charging their health products too high.

Internet marketing. Let's see. Internet marketing has many kinds. There are lots of programs spamming and circulating around online. One such program is Massive Cash generator. Base on empirical studies again, if you want to spend time and energy to find out how internet marketing works and comes to a fruitless ending and conclusion,then please do so by joining and pay for one of the internet marketing program online. Chances are this amount you pay will let you learn your lesson of not wasting your time. The only basic success to internet marketing is perhaps "Crapping". Why would i said so? The basic earning to Internet marketing is only by one simple thing,which is to close the deal by making people pay to ur URL ID via online. Yes,by being able to attract people to see your program or webpage(standard webpage,but with ur personal URL ID), and then convince them to pay online to see your good stuffs or 'Cash machine". Once you succeed in getting someone to pay through ur URL ID in the program, you earn an amount,as stipulated by the program(or cash machine). But is it so easy to convince people to pay through your URL ID? I doubt so. So what does those internet marketeers do? Crap,of course! One example an internet marketeer will advertise himself/herself by stating: "See how i earn 5k per month,just by working in my pyjamas.And you can do the same too,let me show you how!". Show you how?? These crappers are just out to fool you into thinking that internet marketing is a quick and easy scheme,and aroused your curiosity to check it out further, and finally after you have paid online, you will eventually give up what you thought is possible, or come to no good conclusion. Unless you are in the drive, you will do the same,by crapping and attracting the others to pay online through your URL ID,and then eventually those who had paid you will either come to no good conclusion of how to make the money, or follow the same way, to crap and attract the others to pay them via their URL ID. So this is how it goes,and goes and goes.Blah blah blah. So are you still interested in Internet marketing? U can try,but truly, i will ask you not to waste your time,or die trying. ;)

Now let's look at "Get paid to do surveys online,or home typing". This works when a company engages you to do surveys for them,and pays u via cheque,or through pay pal. For a small fee of $20 plus, you subscribe to their program,and what they will offer you in exchange is a list of database of companies,which they claimed to be the most current and up to date companies who will be seeking people to do surveys,and they will encourage you to register with as many companies as possible. Eventually my finding is, there are hardly companies which will approach you. If something is really that good, means the opportunity will be very low for the majority of people. So to say is, not everyone will get the chance. But by paying a small fee to the administrator of the database program, he/she earns big bucks accumulated from millions of people around the world paying the small amounts! So my suggestion is,don't waste your time to pay to get the database info,in the hope of companies seeking you to do surveys. Chances are, companies either will not engage u, will engage u with points systems rather than monetary remuneration, or companies will not be open to residents outside US or some, Canada. Even if it's point system,I would reckon it as redundant. What's the point of accumulating points when you cannot redeem outside your own country,or that the companie online you register for,has not describe in anywhere,how the points system work? There is not transparency down there. Even if points were able to accumulate for cash,then the points required for accumulations should be very very high.

MY encouragement is,have residual income, have multiple source of income. As a student,it is easy to get multiple source of incomes, buy joining more than 1 part time,and freelance jobs,and able to juggle the time and work well. Of course,earnings cannot be competed with a full time status worker,but multiple source of income is very useful,for a student. Get what i'm saying? Stay tune for next entry.
