Shopping... Wee~~~

Short Talk: I have yet to touch a single book yet everyone's mugging their ass off for the exams.

I just got myself a $20 Coles gift card!! Woohoo!! =D



Since I'm no longer cooking anymore, I guess there's only 1 thing I can spend it on - junkfood!! Lol!



How did I get my hands on this you say?
Simply by answering questions... TONS of questions!!

Basically I just joined a few online survey websites and they'll send me surveys based on my profile and I just have to take 10-30mins to answer it.

The longer the survey, the more it pays. Once, I even got free maggi noodles (5pk) to taste and answer a survey based on my opinion.

I myself have been involved in market research since before I came to Australia. So I know for sure which are the screening questions, and which are the real questions.

When answering screening questions, you may or may not qualify for the survey. For example, you may not qualify for a tobacco survey if you don't smoke. But then again, they might want opinions from non-smokers as well.

Initially, I was considering group discussions or interviews but I guess I'm not flexible in terms of time and transport. For those, they pay cash, which was kinda what I was hoping when I first joined the online surveys. But gift vouchers are just as good since I buy groceries from Coles all the time.

I just didn't think that it would take so long just to squeeze that $20 out of them. I did get a $10 voucher from another company, but didn't bother to blog about it.



By now you should be wondering which websites I used.

Google these:

1) Market View
(Wide variety of products to claim including vouchers)
2) Valued Opinions
(Only gift vouchers)

These are the 2 websites that sends me the most surveys (almost everyday).
The key to getting the reward is "early bird gets the worm".

Sometimes you might get a message saying "quota full" or something like that. It means they've reached their quota for that category of people.




I guess it's time I started studying... =(

Shopping tomorrow!! Woohoo!!

No... study... SHOPPING!!


Over and out.

Love jewelry? Wanna support breast cancer?

Short Talk: It's 3am and I haven't been studying... GG

Most girls love jewelry but all girls have the risk of getting breast cancer. So what can you do about it?

You can support the breast cancer foundations by donating all your money to it. Lol jk.

This time, you can win USD200 worth of jewelry AND support breast cancer!! How good is that?


OMG I just sounded like the guy on channel ten trying to advertise some gadget.

Although I'm not such a fan of jewelry, nor do I have the ability to appreciate them, but charity is my middle name right? xD

Anyways, I'll leave it to you girls to do your stuff. =p

Pink Ribbon Day is around the corner (26th Oct Monday) so do your part to support it! =)


1) Copy and paste on of these cool badges on your blog.



2) Follow the instructions on this website.

Yeah yeah... I know I'm quite lazy.
But if you win, you get to use the $200 voucher to get one of these nice lil promise rings.



Aww.... ain't that sweet? So what are you waiting for? Go for it! =D


Even if you're a guy, get it for your girlfriend. I'm sure she will love it. =D

(I would if I had a girlfriend =p)


Cheers.

Tis the season to be ill

I went down with a flu on Friday and currently I'm still recovering. But I still don't get why I'm having this flu.

Is it because I stopped drinking manuka honey?

Is it because I stopped taking propolis?

Is it because I stopped taking horseradish supplements?

Is it because I drank some alcohol the night before?

Is it because I ate junk food for dinner the night before?

Or is it because I've been sleeping at odd hours?


Maybe it's all of those added up together to cause this.

Since I came to Australia, I've been fit as a fiddle. Up till only last month, I drank manuka honey with propolis often, ate my supplements everyday, ate proper dinner everyday, slept well and hardly drink any alcohol.

But recently, my horseradish pills ran out and I was lazy to buy more. My manuka honey also ran out. I still have enough propolis but I had no reason to take my propolis without manuka honey. And due to the holidays, my sleeping hours had been distorted to the extent that sometimes I stay up for more than 24hours like a zombie.

On Thursday, I went to Clayton town specifically to buy alcohol. I wanted to try Bailey's Irish Cream since I heard many good comments about it. But at Coles, they had a 2 for $60 deal so I picked another bottle of Smirnoff Vodka. Also, both the Smith and Red Rock Deli potato chips were on offer so I swept a few packs into my basket.

When I reached home, it was dinner time but I was eager to try the alcohol. So I drank some while eating the chips. I drank 2 small cups of each bottle of alcohol I bought. (diluted of course)By the time I finished the whole pack of chips, I was already full so I skipped dinner.

When the next morning came, I found myself with a blocked nose, a sore throat and a slight fever. I even slept at 3am that night. Serves me right for living such an unhealthy lifestyle. =/

For these 3 days, I had absolutely no appetite, my body felt weak and I had a constant battle with the overflowing mucus. Even when I didn't feel hungry, I knew I had to eat something. But even after having a meal, I felt no different from before I ate. I felt like I wasn't full nor hungry, and even after eating, I felt the same!!

I also noticed that the amount of feces was wayyy less than the amount I ate. I knew something was wrong. Sometimes my stomach even made me feel funny and I had to lie on my bed when this happens. The feeling sucks coz I'm already weak and this makes me weaker.

But after eating double dose of vitamins and echinacea, as well as taking propolis regularly, I'm starting to recover.

It's a good thing too because the next day would be Monday and my class starts at 8am. X_X
