Chiak Lung Tang 鄧甲隆's lilac barn. Bonjour!

i will demonstrate how does the "buy stuff from amazon via me & i'll give you half of my earnings" on my IM's personal message works. to make things easier,  i will quote my first and most recent transaction. i needed a brand new headphones, so i opted for the sennheiser budget HD 205 which has an original price tag of £18-ish (i can't remember the exact price).

 

futhermore students with an nus extra card are entitled to a 5% discount. so i just needed a friend of mine to visit my blog, search for HD 205 on the top right hand corner and complete the transaction, which will eventually come to £17.24.

 

once the item has been dispatched from amazon's headquarter, i will be credited £0.86 (as shown in one of the attached pictures) as a commission for promoting amazon.

 

hence, i saved more than £2 on this transaction alone. as you can see from the second picture, as the number of referrals increases, my commission fee will increase proportionally.

finally, i am free from the grasp of evil (for the time being)

Please pay attention to the top right hand corner of this blog.

one awesome feature about having a subscription to the uk stuff magazine (geeky electronic stuff and gadgets) is their free gifts in order to entice you. stuff tends to give concise & unbiased reviews and of course use scantily clad models as their feature. seems like each time i read stuff, i always pitch a tent.

 

i have received a SD card from them before and subsequently cancelled it. this time is not any different. last month they were giving out, recharge4. recharge4 is a reusable smart battery that recharges mobile phones (almost all make), mp3 players (ipod included), portable gaming (useful for my psp) and even digital cameras. with one full charge they last up to 4 times making them ideal for travelling. they can also be used as a direct charger for that particular device.

 

i have also been wanting to be get this all the while but at a steep retail price of 40 pounds, i had to reconsider. however, much to my delight, stuff magazine was giving them away as a promotion. hastily, i cancelled my current subcription and re-applied again. so if you ask me it is a pretty decent deal; 6 months subscription only cost me £18-ish

 

 

 

oh yeah, month of april marks my second year blog anniversary. hurray! thank you for all your support guys!

first stop (the one with the word 'delicious' imposed) is ping pong, another fusion hot spot. a bar serving dim sum. pretty cool. but knowing it was a saturday night, all major hot spots are packed.

 

 

 

at last, we settled down for mash; down the road from the oxford circus tube station. well technically i didnt settle for a drink. it was already dangerously close to quarter past 9 after all that loitering. my train leaves paddington for cardiff at 10.

i know i ter-skip number 7. sorry, i blame the caffeine-deficiency-syndrome. dinner was at uber cool slash posh restaurant, hakkasan in tottenham court road. knowing me, a posh place entry is never complete without pictures of its male lavatories.
