The stable Internet revenue gives me the confident to do it full time. I
always wish to work at home and full time blogger give me the chance.

I don’t actually count how many post I published per day. Averagely, it
is around 5 posts per day.

8.Obviously adsense makes money for you….lucky or hard work?

95% hard work. 5% lucky.
It is very easy to use Adsense, but to make money from it, you really
need to study about it.

9.Why did you start a forum on your blog?

I often get visitor emails asking some tech questions. I think those
questions & answers are useful for others too, why limits to 1-to-1
communication? A forum let everyone has the access to the tech answers.
Plus, posting in forum is easier than writing an email.

10.Your also the owner of malaysiabloggers.com, what made you start that forum?

We have a blogtal (Project Petaling Street) but we do not have a place
for local bloggers to do some discussions among bloggers.
MalaysiaBloggers.com is created to fit the gap.

Hmm… 3 years? Frankly, I don’t actually remember how do I get
started. I was not inspire by anyone.

It is the “Microsoft” in Internet age.

Huh? Who are they?!

14.still single i hear…any particular reason?..;)

It is because I seldom chat in IRC now. :-P
After being dumped for three times, I have no much confident on “love”
anymore. My main focus now is on “career”. But, you are always welcome
if want to introduce any girl to me. ;-)
