5buxs.cn fail

I tried this out last year and was eligible to cash out.

However it turns out to be another scam website as today this is what I see when I got to the website 5buxs.cn.

Website slowed down by ads

Granted today's connection is quite slow but loading my commonly visited sites like my blog, petaling street.org, 5xmom, liewcf etc all loads with tolerable speed.

However one HongKiat.com took a long time to load. Looking at the bottom of the browser I can see that it's the ads that slows the site down. The header has already loaded meaning the browser has already connected to the website and completely downloaded the initial html code.

But since the ads have not loaded all I see is the header.

BuySellAds.com seems to be holding back the website in addition to a host of other ads such as tribalfusion.com. Perhaps it's just my connection.

Anyway after a full 2 minutes the website finally loaded. That's an eternity for me :)

Cameron Highland rains

wetmorning

Some people hate the rain. I don't.

Particularly now when it rainsin Cameron Highlands, it becomes cooler than it usually is.

Some locals in Cameron Highlands have complained about Camerons not being cold as it used to be because of rapid development in the highlands.

I agree. I used to wear long sleeves or sweater during the nights here in Camerons but nowadays I don't need to. (Perhaps is the extra layer of fats I accumulated over the years :) )

Anyway, the rain brings the temperature down to where it was originally.

Blogging on a netbook in Cameron Highlands

Blogging on a brand new Asus 1000HE netbook.
I'm in a cafe in Tanah Rata, Cameron Highlands called Rosette Cafe.

Pretty nice and of course it has WiFi which I'm using to post this blog post.

Food is great too. Recommended!
