I am pleased to announce that my Internet Marketing Blog is up and going officially. 🙂 I will be adding more stuff to this new blog and I should have the commitment to keep the updates on a weekly frequency.
It’s challenging nonetheless; it’s just the start of 2009 and I am already so busy, because I’m producing a few products in the same month for a few launches in the subsequent months. Not to mention that I have a Forex class to attend over the weekend and I’m preparing for my trip to Sydney, Australia on 7th – 14th February.
Back to topic…
As mentioned 4 previous posts ago, EdmundLoh.name (this blog you’re reading now) will be kept strictly as my Personal Homepage. If you’re an old friend or new acquaintance, I hope you will continue visiting my Personal Homepage. I have set a goal for visiting at least 5 different countries this year (not counting Singapore) and I expect to put up a lot of photos on this blog throughout. 🙂
Whereas EdmundLoh dot com is now my official Internet Marketing blog and hub for all of my online projects and serial entrepreneurship. I have moved the PRODUCTS and TESTIMONIALS page to that blog. So if you’re at least even remotely interested in Internet Marketing and serial entrepreneurship, you can ‘pick my brain’ at my IM blog now. 🙂
I’ve been late but I don’t think anyone’s going to complain it right? Here are the pics I took on the last 2 days of 2008. I’m in a hurry right now because I’m about to leave home soon (for a short trip to Desaru) so… more pics than words. Anyways, people always look at pics. 😉
Wendy’s with Khai & Yuenn
Khai and Yuenn introduced me and Ladan to Wendy’s at Giant, Kota Damansara!
The Arcade
Ladan playing Disc Hockey with Yuenn.
Getting creamed by Khai in car racing. Had never been good behind the wheels but hey, I got 2nd place. LOL
New Year’s Eve Carnival @1Utama
Ladan and I were at 1Utama’s carnival on New Year’s Eve. Lots of interesting things here like costumed characters, caporeira dance, concert performances, stalls, free balloons for everyone, and more. 🙂
The New Year Fireworks at The Curve!
I want to wish a Happy New Year to All EdmundLoh.name Readers! 🙂
It has been three years in a row that I celebrated Christmas at Genting Highlands.
Before Year 2006, the last time I went to Genting Highlands was when I was a kid. Of course, a lot of things had changed ever since though some things never did… like the Antique Car ride, to name one. 🙂
Two years back, I spent more time indoors. If you were there then you would remember that it was much colder up in Genting at that time (13-15 degree Celcius). The year before, I attended the Life Changing Party at Awana Genting Resort thus I spent a brief moment up in Genting Highlands during the wee hours with my friends. Temperature was warm though.
And this year? I revisited Genting Highlands for the third time and I came with my mom. Ashley didn’t join this time because she preferred to stay at home. We were in the outdoors more often this time around and great… the weather was misty and cooler than the year before! 🙂
22nd December: Checking in First World Hotel
Although Mom and I arrived at 1:30 PM, we waited for 3 and a half hours before we could finally check into the hotel. (read: PEAK season)
The crowd was huge and we were annoyed and disturbed by slow moving families, queue jumpers, you name it. I really should be taking full advantage of my flexible schedule and pick a non-peak season for a vacation next time. 🙂
23rd December: Chin Swee Temple
We missed the free shuttle bus service by a split second, so Mom and I hired a cab driver to take us to the Chin Swee Temple, 15 minutes down the road.
My Mom said it reminded her a lot of her trip to Beijing, China – the temple, the scenery… more like ‘mini China’.
The wind was strong that standing still was difficult, really!
Outdoor Theme Park
I had always wanted to go into the Outdoor Theme Park for the last 2 years but I kept coming at a wrong time! But not this round. 😉 I bought us an ‘all park’ access for a whole day.
I also missed riding the Antique Car – can’t believe it is still around even after more than a decade! 😀
The Arcade
I probably would never get tired of the arcade. 🙂 But if you’re an arcade fan like me, there are a couple of things I discovered that you might want to be aware of:
1. NEVER, EVER PLAY AT FUNTASY WORLD!
This is the arcade place near the K-Box, and just a level above “Ripley’s Believe it or Not!” There’s a good reason why this place doesn’t receive as many visitors as Vision City even though it’s situated in a busy location. I wanted to play “Ghost Squad” and all the 3 machines I tried were all spoilt! The first machine had a problem with the gun’s aiming (just go iron-sights and you’ll know). The gun on the second machine had the Action Button pulled out (how the heck was I going to save hostages and defuse bombs without it?) and the third machine had no sound. RM9.00 down the drain. 🙁
2. HOUSE OF THE DEAD III
The shotgun is often spoiled – probably due to rough handling by the players. Also, it’s EASIER for YOU to die in this game. Unless you’re truly exceptionally skilled, this game works exactly like a casino: it’s designed for you to lose. I’ve seen skilled players get killed too easily in this game, even in the early round (read: Chapter 0).
Ripley’s Believe it or Not!
While I was prohibited from taking photos inside the premise this time (no idea why, I pulled that off just fine two years ago) – here’s a video you should see. Believe it.
More Photos on FaceBook

On a side note, I realized that I have been wearing the same long sleeve shirt for the past 6 years. I really need to get new clothes…
There’s going to be an Edmund Loh dot com. In fact, the domain name had been registered on the same day I registered this domain, EdmundLoh.name.
If you are a regular visitor of my Personal Homepage then you will know that in spite of basing most of my business online, I had kept EdmundLoh.name just that, a Personal Homepage.
Even though I have made small mentions of my involvement in Internet Marketing, I choose to keep this blog more personal by posting up photos and updates on wherever my adventures would take me. Hence EdmundLoh.name. This is about the only site I have (besides FaceBook) that I use to connect with old friends, new acquaintances and non-business / non-Internet Marketing people.
And up until recently, EdmundLoh.com had always been redirected to this site.
This had created a few problems though.
1. This blog receives visitors from 2 distinct groups: the Internet Marketing audience and personal friends and acquaintances who are not in this business. That is to say, I have to admit I had struggled at times when writing content on my Personal Blog.
2. The Internet Marketing audience would expect Internet Marketing related content when visiting this site. I can safely say they’re not here to see my photo collection and accounting for my adventures abroad. (lol)
3. At the same time, visitors from non-business backgrounds – usually friends – aren’t used to reading Internet Marketing related content. This is also the reason why I stripped the blog free from most advertising, besides featuring my own products.
Putting a blend of personal journal and business content will only create a mixed and confused impression. This is why I see a need for finally opening the ‘dot com’ site to be specific towards Internet Marketing.
That being said, regular visitors will notice by now that pages like “Products” and “Testimonials” have been removed from this site. I have moved them to the Edmund Loh dot com website.
At this time of writing, the site is still under construction with minimal content. I am waiting for the WordPress theme designer to finish its custom layout. 🙂
Friends, I hope that you will still come back to this site often. The decision to start Edmund Loh dot com doesn’t mean the end of this site (no way am I throwing 2 years worth of solid personal journal down the drain!). I will still be updating my Personal Homepage faithfully, as always.
If you have been expecting Internet Marketing and business content, I apologize for the disappointment. Initially it started out simply as a site for only close friends to know, eventually my Personal Homepage has received exposure through various means including name cards, forums, in the book “Secrets of Millionaire Students”, and even from the Search Engines when someone types my name.
Truth be told, I have withheld a lot of my views on various areas in Internet Marketing on a personal and expert level. Some of the top Internet Marketing forums like the Warrior Forum is quickly turning into a playground for debates and bashing, whereas posting them to this site didn’t seem appropriate – this site being a Personal Homepage.
I look forward to launch EdmundLoh dot com within this month, and it will be a hub for my online marketing activities and I will be sharing my insights on the same topic as well. The site is already there and currently under development. Expect to see more changes to EdmundLoh.name very soon too.
