Stephen Pierce's UYMG event in KL, Malaysia

A hectic week had passed by where more than 600 internet marketers attended one of the biggest internet marketing seminars in this part of the world.

UYMG stands for 'Unleash Your Marketing Genius' is an event produced by Stephen Pierce, a leading Internet marketer. Already held once in March 2007 in Singapore, it was just concluded after 4 days in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia.

Besides Stephen, several world-renowned speakers were also at the event such as Mike Filsaime of 'Butterfly Marketing' fame, Dave Larkhani who is well known for persuasion. Our local internet marketing professional, Jaz Lai also spoke at the event. In fact, to me, his presentation was one of the best.

How To Affiliate Marketing

Why do most newbies fail in affiliate marketing?

In my opinion, they take up too much time on researching their niche market as well as selecting a hot-selling product that converts. After spending months (or even years as I personally know someone who spent almost two years deciding on what to promote), these beginning affiliate marketers never reach the 'marketing' phase which brings in the money!

Thus, Ewen's new product, AutoPilot Profits, focuses on the marketing by taking away the market and product selection phases. I personally tested that this immediately after it was launched on 8th March 2007. Let me explain.

I followed one of Ewen's fast traffic generation methods and put up a campaign and I actually made my 1st sale within 24 hours!

Make Quick Money Online

Is it possible to make quick money online?

Probably most people who are new to Internet marketing are wondering...

In case you're one of those, perhaps you'll like to consider affiliate marketing, which pays you as an affiliate when you successfully marketed someone else's product.

Last week, Ewen Chia, widely known as a world class super affiliate, released his latest product comprising of an Autopilot-Profits (TM) system. On the third day following the launch, his web host bandwidth had been exceeded!

As I was curious as to what Ewen teaches really work, I followed one of the strategies in his system and it produces my first sale within 24 hours... here's the link if you're still wondering:

How To Download TV Episode Online

Do you know how to download TV episode online if you happened to miss last night's TV episode?

Back in those days, it was such a painful experience! I remember how I missed the last episode of a TV serial after following for nearly 30 episodes. I literally couldn't sleep for days!

You're in luck as I found a new site on the Internet where you can download all your favorite TV shows by episode.

Free Weight Loss Tips

I lost around 1 kg for each of the last three months with these free weight loss tips :-)

In early November, I was shocked to realize that I almost hit 90 kg! Then I started to lose weight systematically, buy up books and checking out free weight loss tips from the Internet.

In addition, one book (not free) I highly recommend is "Fight The Fat" by Dr. Ben Tan, head and consultant sports physician at the Changi Sports Medicine Centre in Singapore. He's also won an Asian Games gold medallist and other awards. There's plenty of No B.S. weight loss tips and advice there, especially from a doctor's point of view.

Now, I'm at 85.8 kg... and will achieve 84 kg by end Feb 2007 as I'm taking the slow but steady and long lasting route.

Weight Loss Tips, Anyone?

It's year end once again. . .

2006, an unbelievable year for me - if you check out my Internet marketing blog at http://www.rogerloh.com you'd realize I've attended many seminars within the year! It's downright crazy.

Coupled with many trips to KL, I discovered I'm almost up to the top of the scale...how frightening?!

Finally, I set my weight loss goals and began to pursue my 'ideal' body :-) I'm a believer of having constant reminders to help us achieve whatever we're doing through friends, gadgets, devices or even email reminders such as from this site:

BMW Atop A Pickup Truck

I was driving along Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), Singapore, on my way to meet a friend. . .

And then I saw this interesting spectacle - a BMW atop a pickup truck.

As can be seen from the pic, the BMW sits exactly on top the pickup. . . I wonder how they got it up on top!

Impressions Of Shanghai

Shanghai, China - Looking out the window of the suite of Central Hotel, Shanghai's famous Nanjing Road "bu xing jie" (major pedestrian street) is impressive. . .

The night scene is just as beautiful!

Literally, tons of people throng that street lined with shops and eating places. Here, I get a taste of 17 million population in a busy city!

For the last three days, my wife and I visited several places of attraction:

Huai Hai Road - Shanghai's 'Orchard Road' - a straight, long, road of modern shopping centers. If I blindfold you and airdrop you there, you probably won't know which city you're in :)

Along this road, we chanced upon a great joint for body massage - almost the best service I ever experienced! They even serve us food after the wonderfully soothing massage. If you need the details, just drop me a mail at roger@rogerloh.com

Yu Yuan - several 'criss-crossed' streets of shopping and eating places, with a taste of ancient China, definitely worth a visit.


The Bund - the famous beach that's lined with around 30 historic buildings of yester year, some government buildings like the Russian consulate, corporate buildings like AIA, and hotels like Peace Hotel (which gotten famous through the Hong Kong TV serial, 'Shanghai Beach').

The bund is along the Huangpu River which meanders from north (adjoining from Yangtze River) to the south, cutting across the Shanghai province.

Several bridges and tunnels connect the the bund to the opposite side, one of which is an 'sightseeing' tunnel (for details, visit http://lyw.sh.gov.cn/en/scenic_spot/bundtunnel.aspx). Modern high technologies are applied in the decoration of the interior walls of the tunnel, providing the passengers with background music as well as pictures, patterns and views about people, history, culture, science and technology and natural scenery.

Opposite the bund is the Oriental TV Tower, Asian's tallest at 468m, where you can ride the elevator to 263m or even 350m at a nominal price. It is the 3rd tallest tower in the world (for the highest towers of the world, visit http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0886190.html)

Not far from the TV Tower is the famous Jin Mao Tower, currently the tallest in China. Hyatt Hotel occupies 53rd to 87th floor (where Cloud 9, a coffee house, is located). An observatory deck is located on 88th floor. It is the 5th tallest building in the world (for the highest buildings in the world, visit http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001338.html)

The night scene at the bund is an experience you don't want to miss if you are in Shanghai! The buildings are all lit up till 10.30pm and you feel that you are in fairyland if you look from the upper floors of Jin Mao! (Thus, the crowd at Cloud 9, located on the 87th floor). Tonight, there was even a surprise firework display for a good half hour!

There's even a barge (see picture on the left) that carries a giant screen on one side that keeps playing video ads of giant companies such as Intel and Microsoft.

Xin Tien Di - Innocently-looking from the main road (you have to walk through a side road to get in), this place boasts of completely refurbished old-Chinese styled buildings It has a great night life with bars with live music, eating places and fine restaurants. . . and even live performances of opera and dance while I was there!

(Note: 'day-time' photo here is not representative of the night life there)

My FREE Birthday Cake. . .

Shanghai, China - Just an hour ago, I've got a pleasant surprise. . .

It was my birthday and I was staying at a hotel in Shanghai, China.

As I was resting, a hotel staff called and mentioned they noticed it's my birthday today! And. . . they want to send me a cake for the occasion too!

Phew! Talking about customer service. Now they got me talking as well as blogging too :-)

In case you want yours too, be sure to stay at Central Hotel, Shanghai for your next birthday! Their web site is located at:

MUST READ! "Because the Customer" - It's Beautiful

I heard this last Friday at the Direct Selling Association of Singapore (DSAS) Public Forum, Singapore and I really love this - it's truly BEAUTIFUL!

Here's what I heard...

A Slogan For Customer Service At The Federal Reserve Bank of New York:

“Because the Customer”

Because the customer has a need, we have a job to do.
Because the customer has a choice, we must be the better choice.
Because the customer has sensibilities, we must be considerate.
Because the customer has an urgency, we must be quick.
Because the customer is unique, we must be flexible.
Because the customer has high expectations, we must excel.
Because of our customer, we exist.

------------------------------------------------------------------
I've also written a SPECIAL REPORT on this Direct Selling event which I learnt lots about the global/Asian direct selling status. It was truly an eye and ear opener!

A Nice Yet Reasonable 24-Hour Chinese Restaurant

Here's one that's definitely recommended...

This is a HONG KONG Chinese restaurant located in Upper Serangoon Road, Singapore at the far end of Heartland Mall, just adjacent to the row of petrol kiosks.

The interior decor is superb with a wall hung graphic of the Hong Kong map, extending from Lantau to Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and New Territories.

There's a wide choice of selection of food plus nice tasting hot and cold tea, coffee and 'yinyang', a mixed concoction of tea and coffee.

And the best part is... The prices are very reasonable.

My WIfe Said I Have A Bad Spending Habit...

I discovered a way to keep my hands clean after eating with my hands outdoors...

Have you ever eaten some food that you need to use your hand? Like chicken wings, chilli crab, steamed prawn and stuff like that. If you don't use your hand, it won't be 'shiok' (meaning 'no fun')

But yet, after eating, sometimes we don't have a proper place to wash our hands or maybe we're simply too lazy to leave the table and walk to the wash room :-)

So, what I do nowadays is to order a bottle of mineral water...

And then I'll drink only one-third of that and guess what?

I'll wash my hands with the balance two-third of the water :-) And she'll say, "That's expensive...paying a dollar just to wash your hands. You've got a bad spending habit!"

Singapore's Delicious Hokkien Mee

I finally got my taste of this Singapore's delicious hokkien mee...

Every time I drive along Upper Serangoon Road past Kovan MRT Station on my left and Heartland Mall on my right, I would notice this hokkien mee stall right at the corner of Simon Road that generates a lot of smoke! And it's often crowded with lots of people.

For months, somehow I can't get to taste this as either it's not open, too crowded or they're closed early about 11 pm.

Tonight, with GOD's blessings, I drove past there again in search for my late dinner. After parking, my wife thought it would take at least half an hour...

I was a bit hesitant as to wait or not wait? Well, time is so precious these days... And then, when we reached there, there was an empty table right in front of this popular stall.

And then, just after we sat down, the hawker assistant came and ask me whether I want the plates already fried! Hey, that's a MIRACLE. Instead of having to wait half an hour, I got my hokkien mee immediately. And it did taste nice.

What a Blessed Night...thank God!

P.S. Haha... I almost forgot - the chicken wing there is EXCELLENT! No kidding...the sauce is 1st class :-)

How I Survived My First Lions Club Meeting

I just got back from my 1st ever Lions Club meeting.

It was a friend, my ex-BNI Chapter member, who invited me. I told her how I have some friends in Lions but somehow they never invited me :-)

It's like when I was not yet a Christian a few years ago. I was studying various religions and was waiting for someone to invite me. It took an ex-colleague two years before he extended an invitation to me... It's really strange how things work.

Anyway...back to this first meeting which was conducted in a beautiful pre-war shop house in Tessensohn Road, Singapore. It's not a very big club but the members were closely knitted and committed to the cause which was much more important.

On that meeting, dinner was provided, coffee break and even a birthday cake for 3 of the members including my friend who invited me. In fact, she, along with 3 others, were actually inducted as new members that night. Plus, 2 visitors beside me actually committed to join on the spot!

Obviously, the pressure was on me :-) However, I know my own commitments and this is certainly not time yet for any additional commitment. My friend was very nice, very understanding and she said she'll not pressure me... Oh what a relief :-)

By chance, the District Governor (DG) was there who graced the occasion and gave a brief description of how Singapore, East and West Malaysia were divided into districts. She, a very graceful and long-serving lady, also gave a wonderful narration of those worldwide events where delegates come from many, many different countries and mentioned that the next is in Chicago and encouraged us to attend.

The meeting was conducted professionally by the President, Vice President and several community projects were discussed. And yet, the people were sincere and genuine. They kept it short and sweet and there was also good fellowship!

Oh yes, my friend's mom was also a long-standing lion who gave a roaring history of this club's formation....interesting.

Overall, it was a nice evening - an eye opener for me. At least, now I know what to expect when I'm ready to take on this social responsibilty as a human being. But now, first, wealth creation...that's what I dedicate these 5 years of my life to doing... other commitments can come later...

World's Smallest Teenager!

I found this interesting news today on BBC through Encyclopedia Britannica Online...

"The world's smallest teenager?

A teenager is waiting to find out if he's the smallest man in the world.

Fourteen-year-old Khagendra Thapa Magar is only 50cm high, and weighs just 4.5kg, which could be record-breaking.

He's apparently the smallest person in his home country of Nepal, and he's written to Guinness World Records to see if he can claim the world title. "

Jim Thompson House

During my recent weekend break to Bangkok, just a 2-hour flight, from Singapore, I visited Jim Thompson House!

How I came to know about Jim Thompson House once again shows the power of the Internet!

I was boarding at Changi Airport and was early, so stopped by an Internet station to check my mail and replied a mail to a friend, Jan, in KL. Jan was so nice to point out about Jim Thompson House in Bangkok in his subsequent reply.

My 1st Experience With Jetstar, Asia's Budget Airline

On my recent trip to Pattaya for an Internet Marketing seminar, just 2 hours away from Bangkok by road, I had my 1st taste with JetStar, Asia's budget airline.

The 1st thing that hit me when I boarded the Airbus A320 aircraft was the comfortable leather seats... Oh sure, we don't have the niceties of those full-service operations, but the price tag was nice at slightly above S$200 for a return air ticket SIN-BKK-SIN. (Hey! The other way, BKK-SIN-BKK cost substantially more! How do I know? Drop me a mail at roger@rogerloh.com)

JetStar Asia and Valuair, both commenced operations in 2004, merged in 2005 to become South East Asia's value for money airline, providing friendly and professional service. JetStar Asia won the Best Low-cost Airline 2006 for both the Asia and Southeast Asia categories in the Skytrax World Airline Awards.

At this time of blogging, you can fly JetStar to any of these destinations within a 5 hour radius:

• Bangalore, India
• Yangon, Myanmar
• Bangkok, Thailand
• Phuket, Thailand
• Siem Reap, Cambodia
• Phnom Penh, Camodia
• Hong Kong, China
• Taipei, Taiwan
• Manila, Philippines
• Singapore
• Jakarta, Indonesia
• Surabaya, Indonesia
• Bali, Indonesia
