Google AdSense

Yes I succumed to the temptation. After reading how effective Adsense was in driving side revenue, I decided to give it a try.
As a pragmatic, I’m really neutral on internet ads. Money got to come from somewhere to run those web sites. So if ads helps to keep them alive, that’s fine. This […]

Toolbars!

Learning from and contributing to Wikipedia

Many Singaporean, including myself, claimed to know something about
China yet do not know enough depth about it. I often stumble when
talking to the local Chinese. Often they would quote or reference from
their huge repertoire of Chinese history, events, person, books as if I
