I Love Malaysia

Hello everyoneToday 

I would like to tell you a little story about my personal experiences during visiting Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, last 16-17 of November 2009.  It was quite long time ago, but I felt just like yesterday.  The program I followed called Youth Engagement Summit (YES) held at Putrajaya International Convention Center  (PICC).  The program also supported by the one of the best air lines of the world , AIR ASIA headed by Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes


I was so luck that I was chosen among hundred participants who won the online contest conducted by the organizer of the YES meeting.  Everyone who won the online contest will be awarded small scholarship to attend the meeting of YES in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.   The scholarship covered return ticket with KLM or AIR ASIA , some pocket money , and accommodation.  Wow I am feeling exciting to know the fact that my application on the test was successful.

I was pleased that I finally met some of the world class native speakers during the summit such as Sir Bob Geldof , DR. Mamphela Ramphele, Nando Parrado, Randi Zuckerberg, Biz Stone, Garry Kasparov, Lorraine Hahn, Narain Karthikeyan, and finally Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes From Air Asia. During the summit, the organizer of the summit changed little schedule.  Mr Amitab Bachan can not attend as speaker during the summit and replaced with Donald Trump, a rich man founder of Trump Organisation.

I never take photo with Formula 1. Wowwww. I got it when I was in KL, Malaysia

Its me Asep Haryono.

Very Exciting MomentsDuring the summit, I and also the other 75 delegates from Indonesia stayed in Hotel Malaya located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur's Chinatown. I and the other Indonesian friends took many ways of exploring the city of Kuala Lumpur such as Petronas Twin Towers. I used to see this amazing tower from websites online, but I never imagine that I finally able to experience and standing in front of the Twin Towers by myself.

Unfortunately I have not had much time to explore Kuala Lumpur further more due to I must return to Indonesia real soon after the summit was over.  I have planned to visit Kuala Lumpur again by the end of this December 2014 along with my wife with me. I need more information about local tour package of the Kuala Lumpur and the cheapest accommodation as well.  I hope any Malaysian blogger can give me some suggestions, and help.  I will always appreciate it (Asep Haryono)

Money From Google Adsense ?

I think everyone here in this world loves money.  Do you like money as I do? How did you earn money from blogging or internet activities?.  Well, there is lots of easiest ways of getting free money from blogging.  One of the most famous earn money system called Google Adsense.  I am convince most of traditional or modern blogger these days know about the Google Adsense.

I have seen many of you putting some ads on their blog, but unfortunately just a few bloggers using the ads of the Google Adsense.  Some of the blogs I have visited using the alternative money earning system such  as affiliate programs , review projects (I mean is paid review ones), and many other stuffs.  Well, that is a good idea too.   If I were you, I might not use the ads instead of the ads from the Google Adsense.  Do you know why?

Because of I knew the feeling excited when I received checque from the Google Adsense, and it happened nearly four times.  Most of the money transferred from the Google Adsense Inc to me over Western Union (WU) as method of the payment from the Google Adsense to their publisher. I am one of the brand new Google Adsense publisher from Indonesia.  My earning from the Google Adsense is still little not reaching exceed Two Millions Rupiahs or equal to $ 200. They are very little, aren't they?

Just fill up the form of Wester Union (WU) and completed the form with your valid identification.   This is very essential before receiving money from the Google Adsense

Dadaaaaaa.  I received the money from the Google Adsense

I took the payment from the Google Adsense nearly once in three months. In other words, I received the money from the Google Adsense in every three months.   I recommended to all Google Adsense Publisher to use Western Union (WUS) as method of the payment intead of any bank account.  You just bring your valid identity card with you, and the Money Control Number from the sender : Google Adsense Inc in America.

I will not tell you the website address URLs of my websites with the ads of the Google Adsense. I am just avoiding the criminal actions towards my websites with the ads of the Google Adsense.  I avoid click fraud or sabotage to those websites.  Something I always try to avoid in every way :))) 

You need to work very hard to create good posting or articles at your website or blog in every way.  Do not copy paste the item or materials from other resources.  Do not use other materials and translated into your blog and "claimed" them as your creations. No way, that is a criminal job.  Plagiator.  Another efforts that you must do are improving the articles, and submitted to some engine to make your blog or website always famous and internationally recognzed.

I love BALI

Hello again

Have you ever been to Bali? Anybody here knows about Bali?   For those who dreaming about Bali, well I am so glad to tell Bali and everything in the island which you might find interesting.   If you follow my blog then you will be informed all information that I know so far about Bali, island of GOD.  All people around the world would love to visit Bali in every way.   For your information Bali is one of the provinces of The Republic Of Indonesia.  My country is Indonesia, and that is why I am Indonesian. I am proud to be :)

I visited Bali ten times since the year 2005 to the end of December 2011. I was there as part of my business and working experience with KangGuru Indonesia in conjunction with Indonesia Australia Language Foundation (I/A/L/F).   Both IALF and KanGuru Indonesia were supported by Australian Aid Project under supervised by Australian Government through a join program called Indonesia Australia Partnership (IAP).

One of the hotels that I used to stay for several days last 2010 for example is Puri Dalem.  What weird name right?  yeah.  Absolutely. The hotel was located near a place called "Sanur Resort".  The place of Sanur was very famous of its visitors especially from Australia.  Many Australians came to Sanur and some part of fave destinations of Bali such as Kuta and many others

In general The Puri Dalem Hotel was located around villages of Sanur or Sanur Beach where you can find more spaces to relax and enjoy the life with feeling of peaceful and harmony.  You could have seen beautiful sunset from the view of the window of the room of the Puri Dalem Hotel

I am pleased to know that I used to stay in those awesome hotels in Bali.  Please be patient ya

Do You Like A Doll?

Dear all

I am amazed by many of traditional or modern blogging ladies are writing on their blog.  I have visited some of your blog today, and as usual I found many wonderful photos of you ladies with up-to-date fashions and outfit.   They are really wonderful writers in every way especially about make up, shopping, movies , books , food , fashions, and all ladies stuffs.

Very little of you wrote about what is the world is discussing such as poverty ,  intellectual property protection , drugs , rape issue,  abortion , children , piracy , intimacy among the young and many others.  Please don't worry about that :))

I really appreciate what you are writing.  Blogging is also a fun thing to do, and I recommend you that NOT to follow anyone style of writing. Make your own style of writer.   Every one has his or he own style of writing, This happens to me too.  Enjoy your writing yeah. Keep blogging :))

By the way  , anyone of you loves Teddy Bear?
It happened two days ago, when I was returning from my office and I came across a doll like Teddy Bear in the middle of the street.  I did not know who is who belonging the doll.   I did not take the Teddy Bear home, rather than putting the doll in someone 's house.  I hope people will look at the doll and can lead to recognize the owner of the Teddy Bear doll

I came across this doll when I get off from work today

I am your blogging friend:)

By Asep Haryono

Since the 1st of January 2014 , I started the new year 2014 with a brand new English version blog.  

It is not easy thing for me to start the real English blog I guess.  Especially when I am facing some problems at the first time when I was writing on some simple articles here.   All about you.  Trust.   I need a trust from every one here, anybody who reads my blog here that I am a good friend for everyone. Indonesian people was famous for their hospitality and friendship all over the world.  I wanna prove that thing to you  :)

You could have found me on Twitter. Follow @AsepHaryonoKGI

As I told you before in my previous posting that my primary blog is in Indonesia.  I have had four questions regarding this stuff. First , Why is that? Second, Why I make the English version at this moment? Third, What goal(s) that I would like to achieve?.  Fourth , How about my standard of English by the way? I would like to answer those questions one by one thought.

Why? because of I would like to broaden my international relationship with people around the globe.  I created this English version has many goals to do.  One of them is about broaden my international friends and get cross cultural understanding from people from other countries.  I have never traveled abroad however I am able to speak English spoken and written.  Traveling to abroad can be very expensive for me.  I was born NOT in a wealthy parent.

What I mean here is real western OR European countries like Poland , Australia , Switzerland , France , Belgium , The Netherlands , and many other countries in the middle east.   I only visited Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia that's all.  That is why I would love to travel to those countries over the net, from your blogs.

I have visited some of your blogs since yesterday.  I came across many of them were female bloggers or blogging ladies.  Most of those blogging ladies I visited were pretty girls , beautiful women ,  and gorgeous female bloggers as well.   All of you were very fantastic writers about fashions.  Amazing.  I just cannot close my eyes to the fact that I really admire any of you in every way.   

I have had many problem in comprehend some of your blogs, ladies.  Some of you using the languages that I do not understand at all such as Germany, France , Russian and many other foreign languages.  I must use Google Translate to help me understand what you are writing on.  

A few blogging man that I  visited since then so far.  Male or female bloggers don't matter to me.  I am your blogging friend on the net for every man or woman, male or female.  Friendship is universal , right.   I am not able to travel overseas at this moment, so please allow me to travel to your country over your blog and get to know more about your country in every way.    

Please accept me as your blogging friend
I am Asep Haryono from Indonesia

Kuala Lumpur Or Sydney?

Hello there

I have planned to visit abroad in the year 2014.

There are two options by the way.  First, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  Second , Sydney (Australia).  Which one is the best destination for me ?.   I am bit confused of selecting which city that I would like to visit. Both of those cities are good ones and they are top in the world in every way.

For your information , I used to visit Kuala Lumpur last November 2009.  When I participated as delegation from youth of The Republic Of Indonesia during Youth Engagement Summit (YES) held in Putrajaya Convention Center, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia last 16 to 17th of November, 2009.

Unfortunately , I have not had much time to explore the city of Kuala Lumpur. Just conference and discussions.  Boring, right?.   I was there among those 75 delegations of Indonesia.  Traveling to the city was really free of charge.  I got scholarship from one of organizations of Malaysia conjunction with AIr Asia, Simon Darby and Malaysia government.   A small scholarship covered air fares (with KLM air craft), meals, and some spending money.  I was so luck to get those stuffs.  I really was.

I met American visitor at my Hotel in Kuala Lumpur

Twin Towers of Malaysia is very awesome bulding.  I love it

Taking photo around the city of Kuala Lumpur

Huaaa hiehehiee   I was here in Kuala Lumpur.  Do you believe that?

Me and Malaysia Flag

How about Sydney (Australia)?     I have not had the opportunity to travel abroad in a real western countries.  I have not been in Australia before.  The idea of visiting the city was because of the traveling there could be affordable if I  booked the ticket one year before.   That was from Air Asia schedule.   I have chosen the flight in October 21st to 25th , 2014.   The travel cost was about affordable, and that is why I selected those schedules.

I hope I can visit here, Sydney.   Photo from Internet

One of the advantageous I am selecting Sydney because of  I have had a friend staying and working in the city. Those family will accept me during my visit to the City anytime I feel like to.  It means that I do not have spend money to stay at  the hotel there.  While in Kuala Lumpur, I have nothing at all.

The problems arouse one by one.  One of the most difficult problems is the money which I have not had this time.  If I booked the tickets to Sydney in the near future, the cost of those air fares to Sydney was still affordable around $ 1000.   If I booked those tickets very close to October 2014 then the ticket fares can be very expensive.   Which one I must choose in the near future?
