Interesting Reads From “Singapore Taxi Bloggers”

Alright, i admit. When there is a lot of things going into my head or when i am somewhat feeling stressful, i blog a lot. I do not however to randomly rant about things too much. So what do i do before i blog a lot? Of course, i google a lot, ending up in sites, reading tons of stuff and trying so hard to gush my brains out so it will sleep. Interesting find, with Singapore at heart, rather than reading the typical ranting queens in the blogosphere, i decided to google a little bit different.

So my findings? Singapore taxi bloggers. Yeah, i found bunch of taxi drivers who actually started their own blogs and sharing their opinion and experiences online. One would expect that being a typical taxi driver (one who will complain much about life in Singapore rather than have a open discussion), these blogs would be devilishly full of rants and complains right? But hey, to my pleasant surprise, some of these guys and/or “taxi uncles” actually writes good stuff with seasoned opinions and views.

There is also Singapore Taxi Forums if you may.

Well if you are interested to visit their blogs and the forums, below are the list that i found. Do send a comment on this post if you happen to stumble on other Singapore taxi bloggers.

Cheerios!

Janell Ong - FHM GND 2010 Top 15 Finalist - Leaked Photos

Jenell or Janell Ong is one of the Singapore’s FHM GND Top 15 Finalist. On April 2013, her more than explicit photos were circulated over the internet forums. Till now, the main source of the circulation were unconfirmed. However some mentioned that the photos that were leaked was a set of photos taken on October 8, 2010 at 10:20 AM to 1:50 PM from an unconfirmed source either. Rumours to have said that Janell has committed suicide since though this is coming from less reliable source of a forum at HWZ’s EDMW.

Most of the online profiles belonging to Janell were already taken down by the time of this post.

For those who are keen at taking a look at those full set of the leaked photos, you can view them from an external source here (this is not office friendly reference / x-rated).

What Could Have Happened?

Something like this is not something new. Leaked photos and videos which could have been possibly stored in laptop or mobile devices which were either lost or stolen through intrusion / hacking. i am not surprise as matter of a fact because many of us spend little or no effort / cost in buying security applications such as antivirus, firewalls and anti-theft tools which most of it is available at a very affordable price. The free security applications are available but many of its features are not meant for full security solution (missing or time trial features). And cooking up a good set of free security tools may be daunting for those who are not tech savvy. Have a look at the list of full security suites that could save you from such major and disastrous outcome that could have happened to Janell.

Below are my recommended list (bookmark this post for updates). Click on the banners of your product choice to try before purchase on the product’s site. Do take note that all purchases are via respective product merchant site which are secured and safe. Purchasing online will also helps you to renew your license (through the product site) with ease without having the confusion of what to renew.

AVG Internet Security

A very well known security and antivirus company here in Singapore and the rest of the world, i am sure that you might have seen or heard of people / work place using it. The free versions only covers link scanning and basic protection. To receive a full security guard for your laptops and mobile devices, purchase their AVG Internet Security suite on the frequently updated promotion banner below

Linkbucks Countdown timer not counting

I kinda notice this is happening intermittently. The count down timer on Linkbucks intermission page is not working, wonder if anyone else is having this issue on their account? Seem to start happening when they updated their system with post here.

Goodbye Google Reader - here is a new breed of readers on the net

It was officially announced that Google will retire their service – Google Reader – here is the official announcement on Google Official Blog. For those who have been a fan of Google Reader, you can archive and download your data using Google Takeout here.

It is not surprising that Google Reader has a declining number of users with the facts that advancing browsers have built-in RSS readers and syncing option to sync your bookmarks and rss to your mobile devices and other computers. However here are newer breeds of intelligent readers available on web where you are able to consolidate your favourite RSS feeds + the feeds of others in the community and people you follow within that site community and read latest trending articles, news and posts. We all knew how the internet has vast of information and sometime searching them all can be slightly overwhelming. These sites might help to narrow them down in one way or another.

In sequence from my favourite ones on top, below are the list:

1. RockMelt.com

Still in beta, RockMelt.com has some promising feature such as adding rss source feed, following the people on RockMelt.com and syncing your contacts which exist on Rockmelt via Facebook or Twitter. They have a need boxy and organized homepage which will fit into nicely on your mobile device such as Ipads and Android tablets.

2. BuzzFeed.com

BuzzFeed is already a new in thing among the teens in the United States. It is constantly gaining popularity across the world as well. BuzzFeed has similar features such as adding rss feeds to your profile where you can view it in your homepage. Also in similar boxy and organized design that fits into your mobile devices.

3. Feedly.com

Feedly.com has already 3million Google Reader “refugees”. They are actively improving the features and adding plugins and mobile apps to allow multiple platform across multiple browsers. Also trying to go as close as to Google Reader as part of its features.

4. Storify.com

Storify.com is pretty much similar to BuzzFeed where they organize the feeds base on interest, trends and people you follow. Slight difference is Storify has a Storify Bookmarklet extension/plugin on Google Chrome where you can quickly repost it to your Storify account. When you have a Storify post, it looks similar to a WordPress post interface. Looks like they are creating a WordPress blogging community with much less integrations and features of course. However i think Storify needs more edge if they were to beat those up in the list.

If you have any other suggestion to add onto the list, do leave your comments on the post. Cheerios!

New Post has been published on http://blog.cripperz.sg/2013/05/20/multi-level-marketing-mlm-nah-it-is-actually-not-bad-as-it-sounds-people/

Multi Level Marketing (MLM) - Nah it is actually not bad as it sounds people!

Yup, Multi Level Marketing or commonly known as “MLM”. I recently joined one after going through some research about the company for the specific product that i was looking for. In Singapore, people will automatically turn off by these 3 letter words. In short, you will start seeing friends, relatives or families start avoiding you or that any topic that could relate to what you do. I wouldn’t blame them because most of the MLM marketeers out there are either self delusional or they were trying too hard that it just pisses you off at one point of time. In fact, me too hate the fact that they will boast about how good is their products, how different they are from the rest when in fact (statistically proven) that 95% percent of MLM companies are just bunch of big distributors and do not actually own the products or any research labs (R&D) of the products that they put on their shelves.

I would like to keep today’s post short anyways …

So i was “googling” some supplements for myself after realizing that they were too many on Guardian’s pharmacy and most of them that i was interested was quite pricey. I needed because i realize how much i have lost weight and how much my productivity (both at work and creativity) has been affected to my depreciating health – i can say. I work a lot, i don’t take enough rest, i smoke and i can spend whole day in front of my computer for many days if i am into doing some projects or work related – in short, i can be very workaholic. So while searching through some blogs, health sites both research labs and independent ones – i came across 4Life Research Labs.

4Life Research Labs

Firstly, what fonds me about these guys is that they are introducing a new technology in medical science called the “Transfer Factors”. In short, olden days we rely on herbs before we start introducing ourselves to vitamins (where plenty of MLM / Pharmaceuticals) puts it on their shelves. Every brand of these herbs / vitamins seems to be at different pricing but the same ingredients i presume – branding sets the bar right?. So 4life had their patents on “transferseutical” or known as Transfer Factors where it helps to build your immune system to fight back potential diseases and generally improves your health status. Well this is a tech blog but yeah science and technology has the same breed of people – the curious ones. So if you are keen to find out about transfer factors, either google them or read it via this link.

4Life Is Into Tech Space

So yeah, i went on to sign up with first thing in mind, to get the product and try it. What pleases me was that 4life is also into the tech space. So they are actively on facebook, youtube, mobile and affiliate system online which also fits to what i am doing. Yes, i find it very relevant to sign up with them because they had an affiliate system platform that will help me to share or refer easily – without doing the conventional push of trying to talk to people, being all pushy / oversell, etc. After all, what i need is the product and if i can have the ease of sharing the product effortlessly that is a definite surplus of joining an MLM as compared to buying things of the pharmacy shelves in any case.

I Hate Conventional MLMs – My journey @ 4life starts a week ago

Yeap, you heard me. I hate MLM buggers out there who tells me things way beyond of things i asked or need to know such as:

1. “I am earning 5 digits now @ (SOME MLM COMPANY)” 2. “This product is the best out there that nothing can beat or exist” < — yeah where is the proof / reliable source of that claim?
3. “I am driving a BMW / Mercedes and i barely work for an hour a day”
4. “I make money, tons of money by NOT DOING ANYTHING and WHILE I WAS SLEEPING”

… and the list goes on. Screw all the motivational talks and this is not in the year 1990s. MLM have existed for at least 50 years in United States and over time some of these greedy pigs / scum bags / blood suckers really screwed the good will of MLM and what it is built from – the power of sharing (not PUSHING / FAKING / LYING / SCREWING)

Ah by the way, planning to get more stuff to try from 4Life and the fact that they are a well reviewed research labs with patents in U.S gives me the comfort to see how the products can help me – the fact that i do eat a lot of junks, coffee + red bull in the mornings. So the journey starts a week ago, i need to get back in shape, first got to eat right and have the right supplement to help me with it. I listed down some of the reviews that i read on the last section of this blog post if you are interested to know.

One size does not fit all!

Yes, MLM is not meant for all, MLM companies does not fit everyone. I do not recommend you to jump into the boat without understanding what you need, what you intend to gain from it and what you understand about it. Else you be the next person to spread the bad vibes about MLM about how trashy it is when the first person to point the blame is yourself. In my case however, i am just curious, backed with relevant research / reading on reliable sources and references, getting what i need from the product through convenience of online ordering and the beauty of sharing it effortlessly. So if you are keen to know about it, do hit the “comment” button below, leave your FB link / web link and email. I normally reply back to comments on my blog.
