I win 4D numbers again today, this time I hit 5 winning numbers in all the 4D for Magnum, Toto and Damacai. Every one of them contains my winning numbers. Life is full of fun with these games and at least I know my programs are working. Last week I said I already hit 8 winners now, it's 13 winners! I have got another week to go so let's see if I can win 20 times for this January month.

This week I am also not giving tips for next week's draw. I did say I don't give tips every day but if you have been following my tips, you should win the same number of times.

Visit my other blogs for some tips instead or see all my winning tickets there. Yes, I really won 13 times this month. I still have chances for First, Second and Third prizes for this month because there is another week to go.

I think I might treat myself to a Roasted Duck tomorrow, it's no use winning if you don't spend it!

I won 4D Lottery again!

Now is the 17th. of January 2010 and today is Sunday. I won 3 winning numbers yesterday and today I won another 3 winning number which also has a 3rd. Prize too!

Don't believe me? Just go to my NEW blog. Its a blog mainly to post my winning ticket proofs. I play 4D numbers for fun. I write my own computer programs and I play with these 4D numbers. This month alone I already won 8 times and its only 17 days of January. Sometimes I give some tips and hints, not every time though. But I do teach my methods in one of my blogs which receives quite a lot of visitors. It also comes out on Google search engines. If you search for "How to win 4D lottery", my blog will be on the top 3 listing on the first page of Google search. In fact, two of my blogs will be on the top 5 listing.

When people say they can win 4D lottery once a month on a regular basis, do you believe him? I know I don't. So if I tell you I won 4D lottery 7 times in November 2009, 2 times in Dec.2009 and now January 2010 winning 8 times in only 17 days, would you believe me? Of course YOU WON'T believe me! Its not an April's fool day joke, just visit my new blog, I only posts my winning tickets and nothing else. Oh yes, I also gave some tips.

So if you want to play 4D lottery games and have some fun, just visit my blogs. One of the blogs teach you some methods and the other my winning tickets. I don't really gamble so I play Rm 1.00 and Rm 2.00 bets only just to proof my method works.

The tips I give out are free but I do get requests now and again. For these, I do charge a small fee. Although I cannot reveal the actual method of how to play, if you play on the tips I gave, you should like me, hit a winning number at least once a month. Don't play as a "gambler" but play safe as "entertainment" and you should win some and also have fun playing.

Please remember that any lottery game is still a game of chance. No one can actually predict a number, but playing it smart and careful will increase you chances. Making money is always welcome as far as I am concerned.

The Full moon on New Year Day


A new moon for a new year 2010.
The news said on the night of the new year, there was an eclipse of the full moon from around 1.15 am till 5.00 am. On this night I was taking a photo shot of the moon with my camera on a tripod. I was actually trying to take photos of the fireworks display from my balcony but to my dismay, the fireworks was not high enough, so I couldn't get a good shot.

But this particular night, I noticed the moon was bright. It was a full moon. So I pack up all my camera gears and went down to my drive-way to prepare for a "moon shot" instead. The heavy clouds keep getting in the way, coming and going, always partially blocking the moon for a good shot. I waited for maybe half an hour before I get a chance to have a clear shot.

Interesting how you can take a photo of the moon with a compact camera. Well, its actually a superzoom compact camera I recently bought. The actual name and model is Canon SX 20 IS with a telezoom of 28-560 mm super telephoto. I have been trying it out for 2 days and I am quite impressed by it.

Canon SX 20 IS


The moon shot was taken at 12.30 am and the eclipse was supposed to occur at 1.15 am. I missed the chance of taking the full eclipse, but at least I got the full moon. Oh well, hope somebody will tell me in future.
I shall be evaluating this new found toy and tell you what I think before you start rushing out to get one.


By the way I got it at the PJ Digital Mall for Rm 1500.00 ( US$ 419.00 ) with 8 GB SD card, camera bag, lens hood and tripod.
Canon SX 20 IS was my first choice, after that it was the Panasonic Lumix FZ35/38. Both are similarly priced but Canon has an upper hand in terms of specs.

Digital Photography can be a rewarding career as a hobby. You can actually make money while enjoying this hobby.

James watching the concert.

The children are having fun singing and dancing.

The concert is about to start.

Getting ready for the concert.

My 2 kids Melissa Ann and James Allen followed their friend to the First Baptist Church in Petaling Jaya for the vacation bible school as its now school holidays. Today marks the end of the week long VBS and the Baptist church had a little concert where the kids took part. Its mainly singing and dancing, somehow it reminds me of High School musical where the children are having so much fun. I too was quite amused when I saw a little girl not older than 5 years (I presumed) was dancing her way together with the other kids. She had a time of her life from what I can see from her face and her gestures.

I have included some pictures and some videos below. It really shows how much fun these kids are having. These children are singing their hearts out unlike other churches I have been to.

Its been a while I haven't updated my other blog on predicting 4 digit (pick 4) numbers games. So this month I re-open my programs and key in some latest datas and start calculating some probabilities for some winning hits. I tried some small bets and sort of try out how it goes.

I started at the begining of November and surprisingly, I had several hits. No doubt I made some money from it but, the reality is the fun I had when I get hits after hits. Sometimes I get 3 hits in one draw alone and it includes a first prize too!

I will be updating those blogs again soon with some tips on how I calculate the probabilities. Below I have included my winnings on 4 digits that I won in November. Sometimes I had only 1 hit but other times I have 2 or 3 hits.


If you like to have some fun at playing with numbers, check out on my blog on 4D numbers soon. I will start updating this month in December. The address is at the side bar under my bloglist.



(1 Hit) Winning No. 5683 consolation




(2 Hits) Winning No.6891 - 1st.Prize and No. 5672 consolation.

(3 Hits) -Winning No. 6671 - 1st.Prize, No. 6673 starters and No. 6674 starters

(1 Hit) Winning No. 9984 starters

(1 Hit) Winning No. 6881 consolation.

I may add a section on the side bar with posting of my hits in the future. We will see how well the numbers game goes.





Pictures of Shih Tzu puppies, Timothy and Suzie. Both are 5 weeks old.











My pet Shih Tzu gave birth to a litter of 4 puppies. Unfortunately 2 left us after 5 days. The remaining 2 are now 5 weeks old and so adorable. The female is named Suzie and the male Timothy. Suzie has started to have 4 tiny teeth but the male hasn't. Both can walk and are now started on mashed puppy food alternating with their mommy's milk. The male is almost twice the size of the female and his hair is almost like velvet. Anyhow, I love and adore my 2 precious Shih Tzu puppies.

Take a look at the photos and the videos, they are gorgeous!

Many have heard of The Curve at Damansara Perdana in Petaling Jaya. After 1-Utama shopping malls, the Curve has to be the if not the most popular shopping ,in all PJ. When some one mentioned The Curve, it is actually not The Curve Shopping Mall itself. The whole area is actually referred to as Mutiara Damansara. This peculiar layout is some what like a big maze. It inter-links and inter-twines with several other shopping malls. There is Tescos, the British Supermarket chain, IKEA the Swedish home maker's paradise, Harvey Norman - a giant electrical and electronics superstore and of course the Curve itself. Each is it's own entity with it's own car-parks and sub-stalls at their respective walkways and corridors. From furniture to Hi-Fi, and from groceries to handbags, you can find almost anything in this place. With so many malls inter-connected by walkways and underground passage-ways, this place is undoubtedly my favourite place to visit or take the kids out for a day of fun.



IKEA for home furnishing ideas.

IKEA is the most visited mall on this area. Almost all who has bought a new condo or a new house will at one time or another come here to get some bright ideas to decorate their new dream home. However there are those who dislike the quality of its products. But you will definitely go back with some small things which are irresistible. Here too is the only place you can savour the " Swedish Meatballs".



In any mall, we cannot leave out Starbucks can we? They seem to be every where!

Supermarkets for your grocery needs.


Buying books in this outlet. There are other bigger book shops too.

A stall selling fancy foot wear.

The foyer at The Curve.

This walkway - the East street leads you to Tesco.


Pet Safari, a favourite among children. Most exotic pets can be bought here. Dogs, cats, fishes including marine fish, snakes, rabbits, and many more.


There are a number of snakes for sale here.



DIY shops where you can find most home repair items.

A famous local Secret Recipe outlet.

Next American Idol at 2 years 10 months? Well, could be and why not? After seeing how Simon Cowell and the American audience responded to children singing on talent shows especially on American Idol, it may be a good start at the tender age of three. This is actually a clip of my daughter singing in my garden when she was only 2 years and 10 months. All the songs that I sang to her before she goes to sleep since she was 1 year old, she somehow remembered. So whenever she is happy, she just blurted out these night time "before bed" songs. And when she does, there is no stopping her! Singing away one song after another till she is out of breath.




Come along, my little angel, lets go meet Simon Cowell in Hollywood!

Its the time of the year where seasonal harvest of local Malaysian fruits are in abundance. This time its the Cikus, Langsats, Durians, Mangosteens, Rambutans, Jackfruits and Pineapples. Malaysia being in the equitorial belt enjoys a great variety of tropical fruits all year round. But certain fruits are only available on a seasonal period. Durians, Langsats, Mangosteens and Ranbutans are on sale at certain time of the year.



I got paid today Rm64.00 !


As a child I used to like Langsats and Magosteens. Their authentic tangy and yet sweet flavour is unlike any other. Since I got paid 3 times from my internet business this past 2 days, I thought I might as well give my family a treat. Today was my payday from 2 of my PTC sites. The payment was instant and I only joined them for a week! I received RM64.00 (USD $15) from them. These are trusted sites that pays. If you want to make a little pocket money as well you can join the first one called Neobux ....here. The other site is called Palmbux and to join you can go .....here.

Some of the local fruits in season and available with photos of how they look like are portrayed here.


(1) Rambutans (2) Cikus 3) Jambu Air


Ranbutans are succulent and sweet and rich in vitamin C. Cikus resembles Kiwi fruits. Unlike Kiwi fruits, Cikus are sweet and are brownish inside,not green. It also has large black seeds. Jambu Air is also rich in vitamin C. They are soft and crunchy and very juicy!




(4) Watermelon (5) Durians (6) Mangosteens


Watermelons are available all year round. They come in two varieties, the red and the yellow seedless type. Both are succulent and very tasty! The Durian is not every foreigner's "cup of tea". To the locals, its heavenly aroma is enticing! To a foreigner, the smell "pongs" for miles!
Ah yes, my favourite mangosteen! Just look at it. Need I say more?

Almost everyone loves sushi. It's an imported cultural cuisine from oriental Japan, the land of the rising sun. The popularity of this exotic and yet mystical delight can be found in almost any country. In Malaysia, as far as I can recall, sushi became popular about 20 odd years ago. Now you can find restaurants selling sushi almost everywhere, from hotels to local restaurants and even food courts. Travel to any country and you won't fail to find a sushi outlet. Sushi recipes are churning out even in family recipes.

When you have travelled so far to Kuala Lumpur and the KLCC, you may not think so much of a oriental Japanese dinner. More to your liking, you maybe trying out local dishes instead. But if you ever have a sudden craze for an authentic Japanese food, head on to Starhill and the J.W. Marriot hotel in downtown Jalan Bukit Bintang. There is a restaurant called the Jogoya which serves real authentic Japanese food, more specifically, sushi. It cost merely $25 per person for a sumptuous buffet dinner. Be prepared though, this is no ordinary buffet. Make very sure you have skipped breakfast, lunch and dinner. This place is full of gorgeous, delightful, mouth watering, most appetising and wonderful display of sushi, sushi, sushi and more sushi you can ever find anywhere!. It has the most variety of Japanese food I have ever seen. Lobsters, fresh scallops, fresh oysters, prawns, young coconut drinks, hundreds of sushi types, mushrooms, dim sums, vegetables, cakes, ice creams and not to be missed, capuchinos and also tea!

Eat what you want, drink what you want, it's all in the $25 you have paid prior to entering Jogoya. It truly is an oriental food haven. I mean, look at the food dishes they have, you just want to try them all! Some dishes requires you take a number clip whereby when it's cooked, they will bring it along to your table. These are mainly soups with vegetables and seafood or mushrooms. Others you just stood there while they prepare the dishes for you. Unlike many buffets I have seen, they keep replacing the items the minute one dish is empty.



Just take a look at what you can find at Jogoya in the slide show, and you will have a pretty good idea what I mean. The food is excellent bar none and the atmosphere is quite "romantic". It's a shame it's not Valentine's day. Nevertheless, everyday can be Valentine's day at Jogoya.

If one were to travel to Kuala Lumpur, one may not realise that Kuala Lumpur has many areas of local interests besides the KLCC Twin Towers and the Kuala Lumpur Tower. These are the places most frequented by locals either for just a day trip or a weekend picnic with the kids. These are ideal destinations for any travellers to Kuala Lumpur to experience at first hand what Kuala Lumpur is all about. These are also the areas whereby any avid photographer would be very happy to click away his shutters on his cameras to capture the beauty and the diversity of its cultures. From the hustle and bustle of Petaling Street to the tranquil and serene environment of Lake Tittiwangsa, overlooking the gigantic Millennium Wheel.

If one were lucky enough to stay at one of the hotels populating the Chinatown area of Kuala Lumpur, one would be able to savour the multitude of cuisines that Chinatown offers. Malaysians from all walks of life have tried the variety of foods in abundance here. From "Dim Sums" to roast ducks, from potato crisps to butter cookies, you name it,they are everywhere. Here too, one should not miss the opportunity to browse through one or more shops for that little "something" may not be available elsewhere. But more surprises are in store to tourist travelling to this remote side of the orient.

Evenings are meant for casual strolls; but it's a different story in Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. Every evening this area transforms into a night market which sells anything from watches to Gucci bags. Fancy some Hard Rock cafe T-shirts? Or perhaps a Rolex watch? Yes, you can get it all here. Maybe you prefer to try some authentic chinese food? Or a drink at a pub to quench your thirst? You will not leave Petaling Street, the more popular name for this Chinatown, without buying something, I assure you! It is a delight just to visit Petaling Street.

Joining a friend for high tea at Starbucks in Mid Valley Mega Mall was a casual affair. When I am not travelling or writing about travel and holidays, we normally like to gather for a cup of tea. In this case as it is Starbucks, a cup of cappuccino. I love their cheese cakes but....

I brought along my umpc laptop computer, knowing very well there are wifi at Starbucks. My friend brought along her own laptop, a Sony Vaio. She was already on the web when I arrived but was too busy in her "work", she hardly notice my arrival. I took a little peek from behind her and instantly knew she was involved in some forum discussions. So what forum was she on today? It wasn't a forum, she said. It's MyLot, a social networking site. What's the big deal?. Social networks or forums are more or less the same. You join one, go in to read or post a comment, or maybe ask a question. Isn't that what's all about?

No, I was wrong, that's what she said. This is no ordinary social networking. This, you can start your very own discussion. When you post a topic, within minutes you will see comments coming in. That is because many are online reading and replying to discussions. She just posted one while waiting for me, now she is too busy replying! Can't blame her really, because I can clearly see there are at the very least 20 comments waiting for her reply. She went on to explain what MyLot was all about.

What's great about this social networking site is that you get paid for replying to comments! The more you reply, the more money you get! You can also get paid by joining other member's discussion and reply to those. There are practically tons and tons of topics you can discuss. Topics such as love, relationship, money, pets, work, parenting, business, travel, food... you name it. Some discussions are ridiculous. Why would I join in to a topic such as "You want to know how I cook rice?". And yes, tons of comments. Its not an intelligent topic of discussion, neither are the answers captivating. But so many replies and comments. And every replies earns money! I wouldn't mind joining in if I am getting paid either.

To participate in the MyLot discussions, you have to be a member. Its a free membership, anyone can join. Once in, you will get paid each time you post a reply to a discussion. You can even start your own. There are more money to be earned if you write a review for one of the many available in "task". Each review pays a certain sum and pays good. Why not ask your friends to join in and have fun? They will also be paid separately too. On top of that, you get further earnings for referrals! MyLot pays well and if you need proof of payment, there are lots to verify MyLot is a genuine social networking site.

You need a Paypal account for your earnings. If you do not have one, you can get a new Paypal account free here.. Paypal

When you travel to Kuala Lumpur, you probably would have checked in to one of the hotels along Jalan Sultan Ismail. If so, you are the lucky ones. Hotels along this stretch of the road are 5 star hotels with good dining and excellent cuisine on their menus. On the other hand, if you happen to travel to Kuala Lumpur with just a backpack, you are even luckier! There is nothing like travelling and visiting a place on a shoestring budget and get to shop for stuffs you can hardly find any where else. These are not designer labels but are items you would proudly hang on your walls to display for all to see. Travelling on a shoestring budget means you really have to look around for good and cheap restaurants and accommodation that's affordable.

Jalan Bukit Bintang, the renown "Bintang Walk" is a favourite for both foreign and local travellers. Not because it's surrounded by many new shopping malls, but it is a place saturated with multitude of cultures. Of late, middle eastern restaurants and shops sprouted in every corner of Bintang Walk.

A place worth exploring for travellers is a stretch of road just off and adjacent to Jalan Bintang called Jalan Alor. This used to be a favourite hangout for many locals including me. A place filled with food stalls of every taste and flavour. Now the place of Jalan Alor has in addition to the local dishes, Turkish, Scottish, English, Australian, Italian and French. These new restaurants don't have the price tag of a five star hotel but they are affordable, authentic and the foods are down right delicious! If you don't fancy these, then hop along to the others serving local cuisine.

Here too are several inns, budget hotels, apartments and guest houses where you can get accommodation for a day, a week or even a month. Some even have "bed and breakfast" concept, very popular in the United Kingdom. Do not be alarmed that some of these are operated by English and Germans!

For shoppers? Bintang Walk has much to offer. Well known among locals for their multi media and computer related peripherals is Low Yat Plaza and Imbi Plaza. travellers and shoppers are advised to check out these two malls even if you are only just browsing. These two malls are notorious for the extremely low pricing policies! It is the cheapest place to buy computer and other digital products. Laptops, desktops, LCD TVs, MP3, MP4 players, routers, DVD discs, you name it, they have it. Brands like Toshiba, Dell, Sony, HP, Acer, Apple, Asus and others.

Travellers and shoppers to Kuala Lumpur also have to bear in mind, multimedia and digital products are tax free!

The latest addition to the shoppers in the KLCC area besides the Suria KLCC is the Pavilion. Travellers and local tourist were keen to check out what Pavilion has to offer. If you are into designer labels, then you will like this place. Vast contrast to the other shopping malls and complexes is that you don't find small local shop outlets. Shopping carts and stalls associated with other malls are standard features in most malls. But here I don't see any. Is it a rule they are prohibited or it's too early that cart stall owners have yet to set up shop here?


Burberry



BOSS

Branded labels of big names like Mont Blanc, Burberry, Canali, Club Monaco,Gucci, Boss, Hermes and numerous others have already open their doors.


GUCCI

In this recession period would all these designer labels do well? But travellers and locals seem to browse the merchandise, rather then doing an actual purchase. This new shopping mall have all famous brands you can ever find. Obviously they are targeting a niche market. You can tell locals who are "loaded" with cash when you see one. A quick glance at all the visitors, I cannot pin-point a prospective rich client. I would say they come under a category called "curious visitors", it would more appropriate.

The Foyer.
The overall design and architecture is mesmerising. It's unique, it's different and it's very well decorated and done up. If this mall were to be in say, London or Paris, it would be a big hit. As it is now, the Pavilion may be too "posh" for local taste. I enjoyed myself immensely at the lobby area, not to mention the food court. Might be a bit up market, but I loved it.


Would I be back? Definitely, not to look for designer labels, but to check out new additions to the food courts! Somehow I do not belong to the "upper middle class" anyway. I am more of a "pasar malam" bargain hunter.
