i got myself a hosted website

I got myself a new host . but not planning to move blog.
it's currently located at www.best-picks.co.uk.
Amidst my enthusiasm in trying to get some money out of google, i placed google ads on my blog as well as since i have the little bit of know how on making the sites.
so i decided to launch myself onto the affiliate marketing bandwagon.
of course, this is currently done with my spare time.
which explains my busy-ness for the past weekends and doing nothing but trying to figure out a way to do this properly.

and finally i manage to do something.
it costed me £32++.
i tried looking around the net for cheap webhosting and because the site i need it to be targeted against UK users. i had to find one cheap host which has their servers in the UK.
i didnt have to look very far. ( cos i wasn't willing to pay more than 200RM a year) i had a website b4 and it costed me about 300 RM which that does not include the domain name.
this £32 netted me a domain name. which i thought was the second best of what i was trying to achieve.
it included 2 years worth of domain name registration ( which incidentally i saw cheapest from ukreg.com or something for 7£ for 2 years)
and hosting which included 250MB and unlimited bandwidth ( this of course is just a scam/ploy/whatever u call it)
because if u happen to go over the limit .. u WILL suffer the consequence.
lol
i chose this because it was the cheapest. not because it was the best/cheapest.
there were alot of bad reviews on this company. i would dare say i am willing to make it my 2-cents worth of bad review even though i'm hosting with them.
first grumble.
instant activation - means to me ( i get to use the site immediately. but apparently the ppl who owns the hosting company thinks otherwise. i registered at about 20 mins past midnite)
of course la.. who cares about what i think.. i had to wait 6 hours b4 i could use my ftp server.
well good thing is that i went to bed.

second grumble. they promised a google voucher within 24 hours of me giving them my email address.
it's been 12 hours now. i suspect they are really gonna give me the voucher code at 24 hours on the dot.
T_T
so as for service. i've never tried it.. and don't really intend to have anything to do with them.

and who is this hosting culprit ?? - >>
www.streamline.net
incidentally this link contains my affiliate thingy so if u sign up via this link, apparently i get 10% of what u sign up for. and if u want, i can share half with u ( u get 4% i get 6% ) --__--
anyways, that's about it for my week.
i'm getting ulcers in my mouth. not sure if it's due to lack of water or too much cursing.
or not enough sleep.

right few more days to payday. 2 and half months more for a holiday !! yay !!

got my japanese visa.

1 year multiple entries. each entry 90 days. nice ! anyways, i think i did mention that japanese efficiency was also seen in the embassy ???!!?? alright, please scratch that. the time i went was early in the morning and i was one of the first person there so service was fast. i found the service to be comparable to other embassies where they are not really that quick.. well.. can't blame them just that it was my bad luck that my visa wasn't printed. 1. i went in the morning at 10 at stated on the paper. 2. she tried to find it.. couldn't find my passport. and then she said it's not ready yet.. please come back in the afternoon. T_T. (i shouldn't have woken up so early) 3. i went back to the embassy after lunch. took warren st to green park. it was stated severe delays but when i went on it.. it was quite quick. 4. i was the second in line to collect visa. not ready.. T_T.... he said.. 5 mins.. they are gonna print it now... 5. i waited.... 5 mins.... 10 mins.... 15 ...

my boring weekend

i went to camden on sat and almost got rammed by a stupid green car on the way back. anyways, i was bored. and it was a nice day. don't know anything bout tour de france, or wimbledon. took my bike out. and cycled down towards camden. it was a change from cycling to work. i spent £7 in sainsburys cos they were having a half price sale on john west's tuna in cans. the usual price is about £3.19. bought some stuffs.. ( coulnd't buy a lot cos i don't wanna ride home on a punctured bike) but i bought too many as well. i bought jaffa biscuit for 69p. for 24 pieces. finished it b4 sat was over. took some photos on the way. went into o2 to see if i could get any nice phones for free. turned out that i couldn't because i havent paid any phone bills since last year. looks like i'm gonna hvae to switch my sim card to a pay as you go thingy. then i went to the outdoor emporium to take a look at the karrimor travelpack. i dunno why .. that one seems to call out to me other...

rain rain rain ...

i went to thomas global exchange on sunday. there was a long queue just to change money. so indeed my recommendation of the place was correct. it was in a quiet place. but it looked alright. there were lotsa ppl. and ppl who were walking past were very intrigue by this long line in front of a money changer. that's about it. i still need to change a little bit more. so i'll wait for my next round b4 i go there again. it was pissing rain outside. i thought i'd have to wait till it settled down. but as it is with london's rain, it just is not like the torrential downpour back in msia. lighting and thunder. yippee.. i used to hide whenever i hear thunder and see the lightning. and then i grew out of being scared of it. now i'm scared of a different kind of thing. that aside, nothing else is special. i brought food to work today. from the baguette i bought from somerfield on sunday. it was 62p for 4 wholemeal ones. i stuffed it with corned beef i bought from sainsbury. a...
