Pay Per Post

Recently I was browsing through some blogs when I noticed this little thingy called PayPerPost (PPP for short). Though I didn't know what it really was, I decided to register for it. It was a quite a simple registration process but at the end there was an approval seeking time period from PPP. So I waited and waited, think it was about 2+ weeks and voila, I got their approval email today! It's weird that I got approved since I don't usually have much traffic to my blog and neither do I blog about commercial products. Think they just like my little blue boat floating up there.. =P

As I mentioned, I don't really know how to get my money since I don't have a paypal account or any online payment thingy so I'm still clueless about this. I'm supposed to blog about some advertisements from time to time to get the money.. Hmm, that is the easy part, i would say.. And for every post about the product/service, I get $$.. hehz.. So where does all these $$ go to? I dunno.. anyone wanna tell me?


Actually this introductory post gets me $20 (S$ or USD?, beats me..) I'm supposed to crap about 200 words in this post so I don't even know if there is 200 words here.. Hmm, a quick word count brings it to 220 words.. hahaz..

Penny for thoughts

Ok.. I know I forgot about the B&J post.. thanks cheryl for reminding.. =P But I won't be talking about it here.. The weather has been blazing hot, even as I coop myself in the room, I'm still feeling the heat.. I think I'll have to bathe more these few days..

some announcements
1) I failed my Grade 8 piano exams for the 2nd time.. This time I did worse than the 1st time. I dunno why but it just feels so stupid that I could have done worse..
2) I have 3 essays dues by the end of the week and I'm left with 5 days which equates to about me having to complete 1 essay per 1.5 day. Simply crazy..

Waiting and waiting

I am supposed to have 4 essays due on 1st October. But out of the 4 only 1 of them have released the questions. I'm really panicky about the whole thing. Looks like I'm so going to miss out on the mid-term break.

I finally got my 120 GB portable hard disk working. But now that it's working, I'm kinda wondering what to put inside. It's so portable that I have a lingering fear that I'll drop it someday and 'poof' goes the data inside so I'm not going to put any very important stuff inside. But on the other hand, it's 120 GB!!! what else to put other than important stuff like anime, songs and photos? =P School stuff is a big no-no as it's too risky. Maybe back up my whole computer on it? nah.. still too risky.. See, I'm in a big dilemma

Wishlist..

Some explanation of the wishlist

1) A nice guyish watch
I suppose this is self explanatory. I'm kind of irritated by the fact that I need to dig out my handphone each time I need to check the time. I have a G-Shock watch.. but I don't like bulky watches, it reminds me of army.. =P

2) Pair of nice sneakers of any brand
My school going shoe has spoiled. Although it is still wearable but I really wish for a new pair. This current pair has lasted me for 2-3 years. Time for a change..

3) An iMac
Hmm.. Seems not to be top priority.. But I don't mind one..

4) A good bag to fit my laptop and everything else
I really need a good bag. None of my bags I have are up to my standard. Actually I don't think I have a standard. I buy one, use a while then I'll start to make a fuss over the defects of it, then I'll start looking for a new one.

5) One black Mokona
LOL.. I'm sure those who know what is this will have the reaction. For those who don't here's the url.. http://www.justmanga.com/jmprod/XXXHOLIC12MOKON

6) Jeans and some nice shirts
This is super self explanatory.


This list incorporates some of my birthday wish list.. wink wink.. =P

Map

Oh.. I forgot the attach the map too..

As I don't have a photo-editing software.. I can't trace out the route.. Here's a rough description of where we tracked..

we entered via Venus Drive and cut through the whole white patch you see until the dotted line touched the green part, somewhere around Terap Hut. Then we followed the Pink Trail until it intersected with the Blue Trail. We took on the Blue Trail up to the Tree Top Bridge and followed it until we came back to the intersection point. Again we took the Pink Trail but this time we cut out to Island Club Road and walked along the road all the way out to the bus stop along Upper Thomson Road

Tree Top walk

Thinking that there's nothing interesting to blog about, I'll dig out some of the stuff that I did during the last week of my holidays and make a super long post about it.


I'm sure all the nature enthusiast or if you have been around for the past 3-4 years, you would know that the HSBC Tree Top walk existed.

Well, I had wanted to go there but haven't found the occasion to go. Then one day, out of the blue, Ms Gracie suddenly said, 'Let's go the the Tree Top walk!' Question marks floated around my head. Why would she want to go Tree Top walk? Well, never mind the question as that isn't the topic. I agreed to go since I also wanted to go.

On a bright sunny Friday (10/8) morning, we embarked on our journey to the Tree Tops!

Walking and walking.. all we saw was

green...



green..



and more green.. Although a few monkeys were there to see two weird people walking on twos.. =P


Along the way.. Something was moving on the path that we were walking on!! Snake? Monitor Lizard?


Nope.. Nothing scary..




What's a tortoise doing there? I really wonder.


finally we reached the Tree Top bridge!



















The view from up there was simply breathtaking!







After the bridge, it was just backtracking all the way back to the start point to take a bus home..

On the bus home.. We're supposed to be tired.. But someone isn't that tired it seems.. After the morning workout, that someone had energy to go shopping in the afternoon.. hee..



Actually to be factually correct. We went shopping together after the walk. And I lasted longer than her.. I went over to Mind Cafe after our shopping spree to join my friends for a gaming session while Ms Gracie went home.. seems she wasn't feeling quite fine.. Anyway, it was definitely a very very long and tiring day for the both of us..

I'm not so keen on updating my blog, not because I'm sick and tired of blogging but there is simply nothing to blog about. My life is just a cycle of tasks.

wake up -> eat b'fast -> go school -> in school -> come home -> eat dinner -> sleep -> (back to start)

sometimes feel so sian.. but well.. life goes on..
