Sabahan.com’s Partners Page Removed & Some Updates
February 9, 2009 by Gaman · 38 Comments
It has almost been two months since my last post. If you are wondering if I am still around to update Sabahan.com, yes I am very much here, still alive and kicking 
For the past few years I’ve been spreading myself thin working on too many projects at once. I ended up taking more than I could handle and in the end, it became harder to achieve what really matters to me.
By The Way… I’m Still Here
October 14, 2008 by Gaman · 31 Comments
It happens once in a while, a period when this blog seems to switch into a hibernation mode where updates are like the rain that never comes during a dry spell.
I had received several emails and comments from my readers wondering if I’m still around to update this blog - the answer is yes I am still alive. Sorry if I’ve kept you waiting guys.
One of them came up with several guesses as to why the lack of posting and allow me answer those lingering questions
Successful PayPal Withdrawals with Public Bank Visa Debit Card!
August 15, 2008 by Gaman · 49 Comments
A couple of days ago I tried withdrawing PayPal funds into my Public Bank Visa Card.
My planned was initially to test the withdrawal process by transferring a smaller amount but since many people have reported that they’ve successfully withdrawn funds into this card, I upped the amount to US500, my daily withdrawal limit.
The process went through without glitches.

Sabahan Bloggers Gathering 2008
August 3, 2008 by Gaman · 36 Comments
The well organised event took place last night at the glamorous 11th floor restaurant of the Imperial Hotel Kota Kinabalu overlooking the South China Sea. The bands were cool, food was delicious, and everyone was looking groovy.
There never was a dull moment when the lively DJ Selina and her sidekick took the stage as the MCs for the event.
Obviously, everything would not be possible without the hardworking organizing committee – the lovely Jacq, Gallivanter (Da Dude), Wei Chuen (you are tall), KadazanBonita (so anggun), PapaJoneh, Impedius, Julian and Farah. I think I chatted briefly with Julian (or was it Impedius). Anyway, hats off to them. I imagine it would be a hard one to top.
Making A Living Off The Internet From The Rainforest of Borneo

I had been trying to come up with a nice tagline for Sabahan.com that describes what this blog is all about.
My previous tagline was
About Computers, Blogging, Making Money Online, Marketing and Interesting Stuff
After launching Sabahan.com v2.0, I changed the tagline to
Internet marketing, blogging and everything in between…
While both taglines pretty much sums up what I do and write in this blog, it lacks the originality that I wish to convey that makes this blog stand out from other blogging and marketing blogs.
Public Bank Visa Electron Limits PayPal Withdrawal to US500 Per Day
July 31, 2008 by Gaman · 21 Comments
Most Malaysian PayPal users are probably aware of the US500 daily withdrawal limit imposed by PayPal. It’s probably a non issue to the majority of users.
However what if the amount you want to transfer is larger than USD500? That’s what happens to me as I am trying to transfer some USD3000 plus to my Public Bank Visa Electron card.
I’ve started receiving payments to my PayPal account from the commissions I earn from MaxBounty. I opted for the PayPal payment because MaxBounty converted my commission checks into the equivalent Malaysian Ringgit but at a lower exchange rate than what I would normally get over the counter.
Sabahan.com v2.0 Is Now Online
July 30, 2008 by Gaman · 32 Comments
First off, welcome to Sabahan.com version 2.0!
For me changing my blog template isn’t as easy as changing clothes. OK, technically it is that easy but if you change your blog template that often, you risk disorientating your regular readers and your effort, whether intentional or not, in trying to establish a brand for your readers to associate with will be wasted.
That said, change can be good as long as you don’t over do it.
Now, this is actually the first time I’ve changed Sabahan.com template since it came online in February 2006.
The Dell XPS M1530 Experience
April 15, 2008 by Gaman · 28 Comments
My first big purchase online was in 2000 when I purchased the Acer TravelMate 508T laptop for RM5000+. Having a laptop with a 12.1 TFT screen with a 500 MHz processor was kind of exciting back then.
For a while the laptop served me well but it wasn’t long before problems started to crop up. I had to repair the hinges twice; which cost me around RM300 each time. While the laptop is still working today, I’ve stopped using it a couple of years back when the hinges broke again for the third time.
Finally! My Net Connection Is Restored
February 16, 2008 by Gaman · 31 Comments
If you were expecting posts from me during the weekdays, I should inform you that I was deprived of an Internet connection when the net access for my town went kaput for 5 days.
I contacted Streamyx support for an update of a report I lodged earlier and later contacted the local TM exchange to find out what took them so long to fix the problem only to be given a conflicting information where one party basically blamed the other.
To be fair to them, I felt that someone somewhere did try to do something (after several follow-ups), just not as fast or perhaps not as competent as they should had been.
Christmas Gift from MaxBounty
January 16, 2008 by Gaman · 13 Comments
Two days ago a packet from Canada was delivered to my P.O. Box. I wasn’t expecting a delivery and thought it might be a bonus from PPCClassroom.com, an online course by Jeremy Palmer and Anik Singal that I am a member with.
I ripped open the packet wondering what it was and lo and behold it was a gift from MaxBounty. I’ve been receiving Christmas gifts from MaxBounty all these years, and how nice of them to continue the practice.
