21st birthday yukata

ta-dah! i am officially 21 years old, legal to vote and all that. i should be older and wiser, but what if i still remain the same? well, i have to tell you, changes are not always visible... but i really am much older and wiser at 21 than when i was 12 years old!

together with my birthday, i would like to wish my fellow gemini (some are june cancer) family and friends happy (belated) birthday: mizuiro, kclee, reggie, james, adrian, melvin, zend, justina, jason, patrick... (i am pretty sure i accidentally included one person whose birthday is not in june.) now, not bad a list for Gemini the Twins right? haha~

warning: there are lot more photos after the jump!

Nuffnang cheques for my domain!

1 july update: Nuffnang tells me that the cheque is on the way!

congratulations to myself! haha~

my blog has earned RM124.50 since August 2008 from Nuffnang (minus RM2, as each withdrawal transaction costs RM1) until now. it doesn't matter that many other Nuffies earn fivefold compared to mine.

the first cheque was from my previous blogspot URL, while the second cheque is from my current domain URL. today is one month since i requested for my second cheque, which will be arriving in July.

this is my first Nuffnang cheque in 2009!

you might wonder, what might i spend the cheque on?

Black ★ Rock Shooter

i am looking forward to several Japanese monthly magazines August issue (with gifts)! here are reasons why:

• Hobby Japan: B★RS Character Charm
• Megami magazine: HUKE drawn pin-up
• Animedia: B★RS Weiß Schwarz PR Card

from what i read, the three magazines above were supposed to have B★RS DVD instead. nevermind that, because these gifts are much better for me! their July issues will offer lucky draw for readers (in Japan) to win one of the 150 exclusive invitation to the B★RS premiere on tanabata day in Akihabara UDX Theater.

as for the long-time anticipated B★RS anime (which has been announced since last year), the release date will be postponed from 25 june to 31 august.

Pos Malaysia postage services and their differences

as a seller providing online shopping services (and selling some second-hand items), i have been using "pos express" and "pos laju" to reach my customers. since march 2010, i have been taking a break from providing online shopping services to concentrate on my final semester studies and also to refine my services.

now that i have returned to the usual business, i have heard of this e-parcel gaining popularity among other sellers who uses this postage method. however, there are also many people who are confused about what is the difference of e-parcel postage compared to other Pos Malaysia services (pos daftar, pos express, pos laju) whether you are a seller or buyer.

(click image for full view.)

thus i have decided to do a quick read around about what are these methods all about, and simplified my understanding in the table as you see above. so now, whether a seller or a buyer, i hope the table has helped you understand what method of postage is most suitable for you! you may share the table with people whom you feel would benefit from the information, but do NOT remove the credits to my blog!

p.s. yes, i am back with Bodyline Japan shopping services! click here to find out more~
