Prices Are Going UP? Good solution : Earn Extra Income : Global Paid Surveys : New Year 2014 Gift from me!

Rather than venting about how angry you are with the higher prices on Facebook and Twitter, spend that time and energy to do something constructive, filling out paid surveys. If you are put off by this idea after going through scores of websites, which claim free membership only to ask you to pay money, you can rest assured. Believe me, this list of survey sites are without any doubt free and they do pay you. How do I know? Because here is the secret : I am a member of all of them.


So far, I have cashed out my money from one of them. I do not have enough to cash out from the rest yet. It does not matter whether you are a Malaysian, American, Australian or any other nationality. You can join any of these paid survey sites for free. Fill them out while you are waiting for the miserable ASTRO, TV1, TV2, TV3, NTV7 or Channel 8 Ads to finish or whenever you are waiting for someone ):


 Here is the list :



1) PaidViewpoint.com : Click the link below to join it. Once the amount reaches US$15, you can cash out the money via PayPal. To begin with, you fill out a number of trait surveys and earn money instantly. Please note that the earned money is in cents not dollars (:

 2) Global Test Market : Accumulate around 1000 points and cash them out for US$50. They send you survey invitations regularly, filling out the surveys can be fun and interesting! Normally, a check is sent to your home address, even if it is as far as Malaysia. The only thing is that you have to wait for a maximum of 8 weeks. But, you will receive the check, unless you gave the wrong address. It is so unfortunate that Global Test Market does not offer PayPal as an option for cash out. So sad about it (:

 3) iPoll : Get an immediate sign up bonus of US$5. You can cash out after you earn US$15 via PayPal.

  By the way, both iPoll and Global Test Market are BBB or Better Business Bureau approved with a rating of A and A+ respectively. But, you cannot find the ratings under the above names. They are rated under names like Global Market Insite Inc. and United Sample, Inc. So, do you have any experience in filling out surveys from any of the above survey sites? Or would you like to add on to my very short and sweet list?

A truly amazing drink!!! - "Ais Tingkap" or Sherbet Drink - Penang, Malaysia

Have you ever come across this truly amazing drink, which costs only US$0.40? During hot summer days, nothing can beat this sherbet drink. It is well-known as "ais tingkap" in Penang, the Pearl of the Orient.

The recipe for the drink was passed from one generation to another, spanning more than 7 decades! A long time ago, around 25 different types of herbs were used to make this drink. But, now, due to lack of availability of specific herbs in the country, only 12 different types of herbs are used.

Having tried the drink myself, I can attest to its cooling effect on a hot summer day. This is hardly surprising considering the drink also contains coconut flesh, coconut water and syrup water. Basil seeds are also added to the drink. Imagine drinking something, which costs a mere US$0.40 but tastes like heaven! It was divine sipping this drink on a hot summer day after walking around Chulia Street and other nearby streets.

If you are wondering how to find this place, it is very simple. Just go to Tamil Street, which is near Chowrasta Market. The drink is sold at stall number three or four from the T-junction.

Many tourists who visit Penang are not aware of this. If you ever go to Penang (does not matter whether you are a Malaysian or foreigner), do not forget to try this drink!
