The other time whilst I was dining at Banquet, a restaurant chain if you’re not in the know, I got a rude shock when I found out that they were charging S$1.30 for a can of normal drink, like the one in the picture above. Yes, I know some of you might say that that said price is the normal price, so why the hell is this blogger shocked?

Well, thing is I thought the usual price of such drinks is only S$1.20 and yeah, I queued up for a good 10 minutes (breaking of fast time) with that exact amount in my hands. There, S$1.20, my entire life savings. With such hope and zest thinking of that sweet taste of green tea sliding down my parched throat, the disappointment I felt (not to mention the embarrassment) when I had no money to buy the drink was truly one of the lowest moments in my life.

The solution to my 10 500 (and counting) digital pictures. Scrapbook, here I come!

Over the past months I have spent blogging on my own .com domain, I had many people asking me on the costs incurred and the process of getting one etcetera. One thing I noticed across the board was that everyone had this impression that getting my own domain cost me a bomb and the process was a very complicated one.

Well, you guys thought wrong! I am currently hosted under Wehostyou.info, the brainchild of one of my online and real life friend, Uncle Sha, and for the past few months that I have signed up with him, I daresay I have not one complaint.

Before I begin on my review, let me just highlight the following (trust me, you won’t regret clicking):-

During the past few weeks, I have become acquainted with a spunky lady named Kak Em, of whom I hold much respect for. Other then the multiple personal things that we share, one of the main topics which would always, always come around would be her exponential love for her beads and jewelery making, and thus, her online shop, BeadingnBeyond.

If you were born around the 1988 era, do you recall buying small black plastic bags from the mamak shops at the void decks when you were in primary school? The small sealed bags which cost fifty cents apiece would contain like SO many knick knacks inside, and every time I managed to buy one using my meagre pocket money, the anticipation of knowing what was inside would drive me crazy!

Woohooo! One of my favourite bloggers, Idza as well as Yat’s missus, Humairah, are in the organizing committee for NTU’s Muslim society Freshman Camp! You know it’s gotta be good cuz they’re in it. hehehe.

Anyway, from what I see and read, they got a good concept going on, and the registration is pretty darn cheap too! $18, which includes a goodie bag, tshirt as well as all the meals needed throughout the entire camp. Good deal, no?

They’re looking for participants and helpers all around, and by all around, this means even Non-NTU Freshmen and Non-Muslims are welcomed :)

Camp Date : 24 July 2007 - 26 July 2007

Payment : $18 (inc of goodie bag, tshirt and meals)

I recall quite some time back, a friend of mine who’s a Malaysian studying in Singapore griped about how he found it hard to find room rental here in our country. According to him, classifieds and ads are rather sporadic, and agencies which assist in getting rooms usually charge a high fee for the service.

Sebastian, the ehem, good looking (picture under the cut) sole developer and “team” behind the non-commercial http://singapore.roomsdb.net, too faced a similar issue when he was an NUS student here a few years back. However, unlike my friend, he decided to create a change by providing a solution at his own cost, aiding throngs of others who faced the same situation.

A month back when fingersdontfing.com turned one year old, I recall asking a favour of everyone who linked to me to change my link title to “Faddy | Girl Next Door“. Looking through my statistics, I notice that many still are linking me as Fingersdontfing Faddy :)

I understand fully that I am in NO position whatsoever to force you guys to change it, and I have to admit that the act of linking me is already good enough already (haha thanks guys!), but I think I should explain in detail the rational behind my request and hopefully convince the rest of you to do me this small favour. Hehehe.

(Those who requested for me to give tips in making money online, this is a tip! Read on!)
