Hi, I'm Kenneth Lee. I practice sincere blogging and I share my most honest reviews and thoughts. What goes around comes around - I believe the effort we put into building certain things will come back to determine the kind of outcome we deserve. This blog serves both make money online (left column) and personal (right) niches.

My adsense earnings have gone down three-fold this week. Below I provide week-by-week statistics of my Adsense earnings.

From June 7 to June 13, which was three weeks ago, 36 clicks earned me a total of close to $12 (RM42). The following week (from June 14 to June 20), although number of clicks went up, total earning was only about $12.

This week, Adsense earnings continue to drop. A total of 33 clicks only get to generate a revenue of $4 (RM14).

Is anyone experiencing the same effect as well?

Of Home Maintenance and Ignorant Housemates

The unit I moved into was a total mess!

KNNBCCB!

First there were so many outstanding bills, all of which I had to settle on my own even though it involved those staying in the unit before I moved in. Some people — my roommate for instance — is just as ignorant as Ringo and would show you this “don’t ask me I don’t know how to fix that” kinda face.

The other day, some housemate was ironing his/her clothes while I was happily doing my stuff on my laptop.

Out of a sudden, the switch tripped.

Blackout.

…

ZOMG I FORGOT TO SAVE MY WORK!

And it had to ridiculously take me a few seconds to realise what just happened! I asked why it happened and that suey chi (whoever it was) said it was because of the semi-faulty iron.

The plate had almost detached itself from the rest of the iron and every time someone accidentally holds it up, the loosened wires inside will end up touching the wrong place and causing the circuit to trip.

I mean, got faulty iron also never tell!

What if I die of electric shock one day for using the faulty iron?! Who’s going to be responsible then?

Pissed to the max!

Pissed at myself for not slotting in my laptop battery and most importantly at those keh kiangs who have only half a bird’s brain and zero awareness on proper home maintenance.

I hate it when people keep faulty stuff that poses so much danger in order to remain as ignorant as always, or just so that they can save some unnecessary bucks.

Like, come on — is it so difficult to be a little less apathetic?

BTW, I’m so gonna talk them into some of these bathroom organisation products. If they are so lazy to deal with it, gimme the share of money and I’ll buy it conveniently online for everyone!

p/s: Do check out the amount of accumulated sweepings (originally twice the amount as you can see in the picture) my housemates had welcomed me with when I moved in.

And that is how University students are like these days!

p/s: Very impressed with this steam mop thingie. Not planning on buying it lah, just found it interesting! Shopwiki has just an abundance of info!

I Know What You Did in UTAR Kampar

I can’t get enough of Kampar.

On Monday I had the whole van of lecturers waiting for me, not because I was busy grabbing photos like during my first day (of which my desperation was accidentally witnessed by some lecturers, haha), but my fellow students were asking a. damn. lot. of. questions!

Which I like though, considering most other students can be very passive and quiet today!

Paiseh to the max to have to let an entire van waiting for 15 mins.

Anyway, I am now tutoring a total of four classes with two subjects — Advertising Copywriting and Media Planning. The latter being the “culprit” because it was one of the heaviest subjects I had taken as a University student and am tutoring as of now.

My students were asking me, “Sir, when is your consultation hours?”

“I’m a traveling staff, how to have consultation here?” I said. “Why not we have it on MSN?”

Therefore for the very first time in my students’ history (at least according to some of them), I have had online consultation with them to deal with their assignments. One of the subjects has a weightage of 50% for its assignment!

Thank you Raymond for taking me around the campus during my first day there! The campus is pretty beyond words! Most of the students would cycle to the campus, making the bicycle-parking area a very phenomenal scene!

How the hell do students recognise their own bicycle?!

My friend Beng told me each bicycle is unique to individuals because most students would zhng their bicycle like people zhng-ing their car.

This is something I don’t get to see even in public Universities such as UM, UPM and UTM. The humbleness of the University life really does overwhelm me!

Student’s accommodation!

Those who get to rent a unit by the lake must be lucky and living a long life, haha, with the presence of good feng shui (note the mountains behind)! But of course, rate would be expensive I heard!

I understood that traveling, full-timer lecturers get to stay at the Grand Kampar (the building that looks like it’s got a dome as below), which I really admire!

A lecturer, however, told me he was sick of staying in a hotel!

I almost died on the spot.
