What will be interesting to know is what's the gender breakdown of the TOP 10 news on Star Online. Mebbe its gonna show that 60-70% will be guys!! But then again i could be wrong! Mebbe its 90%!! :) haha

WOO HOO! Received another Present in Our Mail!!!

Hmm dunno to Smile or to be Sad!!!



This week, we received a notice from Pos Laju to collect "an item" from the Pos Laju Office.



This of course brought a smile. Did we win something again?

So that nite, after work, decided to go pay Mr Laju a visit. It was raining, and it was not our normal Malaysian drizzle, but it was pouring cats and dogs, but we will brave through the storm to go check out what special thing that has been sent in the mail this time.
[Don't you wish the Pos Laju slip gives a Clue to what's in the package, so that you don't need to keep guessing if its a Pot of Gold or just a notice from the Bank!]





So after collecting the Pos Laju item, walked back decently to the car, entered the car, locked it (never know nowadays), started the car engine, turned the aircond up, switched on the aircond .....


And started Ripping apart the plastic Pos Laju cover ....





Guess what? HAPPINESS!!!

The wonderful gift from HSBC, the Portable Phone Charger, does not (I repeat DOES NOT) have a connection for Sony Ericsson phones!!! ARRRGHHH!

Anybody wanna buy from us... cheap cheap! :) Comes with a HSBC Logo Cover Case! :) hehe

Passenger Farted And Flight Was Grounded

Hahaha .. this is so ridiculously funny! And it took me a while to realize that when the news reported Flatulence .. what it means in our local language is FART .. or Kentut!! heheh.

Read on ......

What is Flatulence? Click here

Flatulent passenger grounds flight

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec 6 (Reuters Life!) - It may be one problem airline security officials never envisioned -- a passenger lighting matches in flight to mask odors from her flatulence.

The woman's actions resulted in an emergency landing on Monday in Nashville of an American Airlines flight bound for Dallas from Washington, D.C., said Lynne Lowrance, a spokeswoman for Nashville's airport.

Other passengers reported the odor of burned matches, but the woman was not forthcoming when asked about it, Lowrance said on Wednesday.

"Of course, she was scared and embarrassed but all the passengers had to disembark, all the luggage had to be searched, a canine team was brought in, and about three hours were consumed in sorting out the situation," she said.

The woman was not allowed back on the flight and barred from flying on American Airlines, Lowrance said.

"Since there was no malice involved and the incident was accidental, she was not charged with anything," she said.

Passengers are permitted four books of paper safety matches on a plane but cannot light them during flight, Lowrance said.

"I've had calls from people all over the country about this," she said. "And I don't have the answer to this problem."

64% of Malaysian Bloggers are Women [Article below]

"Yeow Mo"? Is that so?

Most of the people we know that blog are men or guys!! Hmm .... i wonder if the statistics taken are correct or not. Off my head, we would believe that most of the people on our Blog Roll are guys, unless we dont have many frens who are ladies? Hmm...

Let's disect our Blogroll . . .

HAH!! See, we have 53% bloggers who are Guys, and a 47% bloggers who are Girls! So the Guys still out weigh the girls .... by a narrow margin! :)

hehe ... just to prove our point!

Most bloggers are women
KUALA LUMPUR: If you are a Malaysian and you have your own blog, the odds are that you’re a woman, aged 25 or under.

Sixty-four per cent of local bloggers are female and 74% of them are in that age group.

This is a finding of an international online survey involving
more than 25,000 Microsoft MSN web portal visitors in August and September.

The survey, Blogging Asia: A Windows Live Report, was conducted in Hong Kong, India, South Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Thailand.

It found that 41% of Malaysians who went online also blogged.

Malaysia’s bloggers primarily do it for entertainment and to share their lives with family and friends.

“Blogging has moved into the mainstream in Asia and Malaysia, and has become a popular way to stay in touch with family and friends,” said Grant Watts, Microsoft South-East Asia general manager for online services group.

The survey found that 56% of Malaysians blogged to express passionately held views, while 49% blogged to keep friends and family updated.

Some 34% just like having a little corner of cyberspace to call their own.

Only a small number, about 3%, said they were practising “citizen journalism.”

As for blog-reading habits, 63% of respondents said they read blogs for entertainment, while technology, travel and music were the three most widely read blog topics across Asia and in Malaysia.

The majority of blog readers, 81%, are most interested in blogs written by friends or family.
Far behind in popularity are blogs by celebrities, pop stars and workmates.

Blogs by business leaders and politicians garner the least interest.

Blog readers said they looked for good writing and plenty of pictures.

Sun's Free E-Paper

I trully enjoy what the the Sun Newspaper website now has to offer - which is all their pages featured online - via a PDF format.

Previously sun2surf only featured some of their articles for the day, and many of the other articles were not online. But now even if I miss getting a free copy from my condo, I can still browse and read the full Sun online.

One funny thing though, when u read their Full Newspapers - http://203.115.192.124/friday/fri_page23.html - it always starts on the Last Page of the newspaper. Hmmm I wonder why?

Anyway, its still good cos they have the Scroll Bar on the Left which allows you to skip from one page to another. Kewl!

Anyway ... a Good job to the Sun - for keeping it free for all! :)

Our Warehouse Sales Blog hit the 20,000 mark!!

Awesome news! We are so so so glad that our shoppingNsales blog have really been doing so good in terms of number of hits. Sales, shopping, warehouse sales, promotion stuff must be one of the other Malaysian's favourite past time apart from food!!

Today we hit Two Milestones for shoppingNsales.

• 1,322 hits! Woo hoo! We had the highest number of hits on one single day - (7.50pm)


• 20,068 hits! Woo hoo! We just hit the 20,000 mark!

We guess for many of you, the numbers are not really that outstanding, as many blogs are in the hundreds of thousands. But for us as new bloggers (only attempted to blog in July 2006), these are great milestones for us!

We only started shoppingNsales in September 2006, and to have more than 20,000 hits in just less than three months is a great feat (from our perspective that is) :).

The numbers also show that people are enjoying the information attained at the Blog (we are hoping) and that the sales and warehouse sales info are useful to the mass. We guess everyone just wants a good deal .... :) Malaysians lor ... we always wants the best at the most affordable prices.

Woooooo hoooooo .... :) We just feel good. Anyway ... there's still so much to learn about the blogging sphere, and if you guys have any good ideas do share with us on how we can improve it further ... please let us know.

Help keep our Numbers growing .... Visit shoppingNsales :)

Library Things catalogs your books online & Boks Books Books

Stumbled on it by accident and found out that Library Thing is such a cool website!!
Cos we wanted to compile all our books that we have in our home, but didnt really know how to put it all together. We actually started out by making a list in Word, typing out the name of the book and the author .. but quite the leceh.

But when we found Library Thing, WOW this is way way cool, cos u can also add the Book Cover (picture) and ISBN and you have Widget add on (Fun Section), which u can add on to your Blogger - like what we did in our Right Sidebar.

For those of you who are avid readers, you can put up all the books that you own online and have discussion, comments and things like that.

Here's my Fiction Library Book List : delephant's library

Another thing about Books (for me that is). Once u read a book, u normally don't read it again. (Unless we are refering to the Big Book - the Bible)
Well, especially if its fiction (or aka Airpot Books, books that u buy to read on long haul flights). Anyway, i have close to a hundred of these books and now don't know what to do with them.
-> Hmm if any of u have any great suggestions on what i can do with them ... pls let me know.


Meanwhile, here are two great Book related Sales that may interest you.

• 16 Nov to 30 Nov : Big Book Shop Warehouse Sale
• 15 Nov - 15 Jan : Times Bookstore Sale
