Cashing out Google Adsense using Western Union Quick Cash

Hurray! I finally get to cash out my earnings from Google Adsense.  It took me 4 years to accumulate the first USD 100.00.  Anyone reading this who thinks that's it's impossible to earn money from internet is wrong.  You can receive money from Google; it's just a matter of timing and hard work. 

Anyway, this is a screenshot of my first internet cheque:

I deided to receive my earnings by Western Union Quick cash.  it's  so easy. 

When I login to my Google account and saw that  a payment has been made, I was so excited (excuse me, this is my first USD 100).  I printed out the statement, and then waited for 4 whole days (holidays and weekends in between) before I could go to the nearest Western Union agent.

I first when to Public Bank, but Public Bank can only disburse funds on individual-to-individual transactions.  So I went to CIMB bank where they can disburse funds on corporate (as in Goolge inc)-to-individual (as in me) transactions,  Within 10 minutes I got my money. 

However the exchange rate is not in my favour, only got MYR 3.16 to 1 USD.  Well, will wait for my next USD100 (which should be faster now that I know how to make money from adsense).

You know what, I intend to buy USD currency as an investment, and wait for it to go to 3.5 and make a FOREX gain.

Ipad

Lat Friday I got my iPad. I don't know how many Malaysians have got their iPad because it is not officially distributed in Malaysia yet. But I know I am one of 3 million (as of July 2010) who have bought the newly launched iPad. I didn't pay for it though, as I won it in a lucky dip. I waited about 1 month to get my hands on the iPad, as it was ordered from New Zealand.

I am writing this blog post on the ipad

I haven't used any Apple products, but this iPad is fabulous. The virtual keypad is so easily to type on compared to the keyboard.

Since the morning I have downloaded so many applications and are happily trying it out.

I am trying to paste a link here but it took some time. Quite lost without a mouse, and hey, I am a senior citizen ok?

Anyway I managed to link to a page that says "How Star Trek artists imagined the iPad...23 years ago. (by using the mouse on the PC. Need more practice on the iPad.

Business building is all about meeting challenges, technology included.
