no bills today

It's a good thing I got rid of that autoroam service I wasn't using yet paying for.

Payment is not required is always a good thing.

Was watching Beyonce revealed on E last night. Destiny's Child initially had 4 members and then 2 because the other 2 wanted to fire their manager (Beyonce's father). So they got another 2 (one of them being Michelle) so there were 4 but then the other one decided it was a little too hectic and thought she didn't have enough say in her career blahblah so she left and THEN there were 3. The End

In Neobux news, it is day 3 (and 4 hours)

Had to spend all of 5c to recyle an inactive referral . Not clicking after 3 days . I figured if this person hasn't clicked in 3 days, they're probably not going to click. ever. in which case I would have wasted 20c to rent him or her. 3 days of precious clicking time already gone !! noOooOO

day 1

It has been almost 24 hours since renting those 100 referrals from neobux. I am pleased to announce that they haven't been sleeping ( most of them anyway )


Here is today's screeny


From yesterday's $0.34 to $2.09 and 29 days to go. Crap on a stick !! I am starting to think I could really make something of this if I get really serious

Neobux

I tried this out today. Only investment so far was US$30 = SG$41.65
This amount was used to 'rent' referrals who will 'work' (click) for you. So why not just sit back and let the money roll in you ask ? Here's the catch, if you don't click, you cannot earn from your referrals clicks. It's a dandy double-edged sword.

If I don't make anything then SHIT but if I do I will post more stats.

Pls cross your fingers and your toes and whatever else that is crossable.

EDIT : In the time it took me to post this, I have made US$0.045. EXCITING !!!

Here's to Heath

With all the hype surrounding Heath's sudden death earlier this year, I really wanted to see his last role as the Joker in The Dark Knight.

He was every bit as menacing, chilling and ruthless as all the critics claimed.

Did you know that to prepare for the role, Ledger lived alone in a hotel room for a month, formulating the character's posture, voice and psychology, and kept a diary, in which he recorded the Joker's thoughts and feelings to guide himself during his performance.

Imagine that ! I can't even begin to fathom what that would be like. I have alot of new-found respect for him.

I remember him fondly as Mel Gibson's son in The Patriot.

He was one of the few A-list Aussies that made it big in Hollywood.

So talented.

How tragic that he died so young.

laksamama's guide on how to cook a steak

Behold my culinary skills !

I shall attempt to educate you lucky monkeys on how to grill up a mean steak. This is sure to impress whoever you intend to impress be it your mum, your significant other, your dog etc etc

STEP ONE - Know your meat !

There are a gazillion cuts of meat out there.. sirloins, rumps, chucks, t-bones just to name a few. I highly recommend getting yourself a rib-eye like so (sorry for the orientation. I may be a genius in the kitchen but when it comes to computers well...not so much)
STEP TWO - Season with love !

Leave it out till its room temperature. Don't worry about germs or whatsoever, you're gonna cook it remember ? Add generous pinches of salt and pepper to both sides and whatever you do, do NOT be foolish and cut off the fat. That's where all the flavour is !

STEP THREE - Turn up the heat !

Get a good strong fire going. This serves to seal in all the juices once the steak hits the pan. A measly flicker will send your juices running. Your steak will end up dry, we wouldn't want that now would we ?P/S : Pay no attention to the dirty stove top. Whoever said cooking was a clean activity ?

STEP FOUR - No shaking!

Once your meat is in, don't move it around. We're not making a stir-fry here, just let the pan do it's thing. Use a pair of tongs, makes life easier.If you like your steak medium rare like me, turn it over after about 2 minutes or until you can just see the juices coming out the top and cook off for another 2 minutes.

STEP FIVE - Give it a rest!

After all that exciting heat treatment, your steak needs to rest. Let it sit off the heat for 5 or so minutes. This is what it should look like. Blushing not gushing on the inside.

There you have it ! Simple wasn't it ? For a more substantial meal, get your assistant to whip up some mash (after instructing him properly of course !)
BON APPETIT !
