  2. Hi Scheng,

    I am sysdexlicwriter from my lot. My name is Laurie. I so enjoyed our discussion on credit cards and then I had fun coming to your blog and reading your article. I was watching a ministry from Singapore a couple of weeks ago and looked up where it is on the map. I have been so drawn to learning more about Singapore since then.

    Me and my family are in the process of being inspired by a movie (documentary) "The Secret." Your article and web site go along with much of what I am learning from this movie. There is more than one movie called the secret, so I was confused at first on how to find it. A friend of my daughter sent her some information and told her how much it has helped him and his finances, etc. The website for this movie is www.thesecret.tv I would not be surprised if you have already seen it.

    I am so excited about this because it fills in the gaps of what I did not understand. I have been following and studying prosperity from many ministries for several years. Now that I have watched the movie, I have been sharing it with my sisters, nieces and nephews, and friends.

    Thank you for sharing your web site with us at My Lot. I know this blog will help many people.

  3. Just so you know, I plan to maintain only two blogspot blogs from now on and forget about the ones on aimvotal.com.

    Basically, my plan is to bring over the posts on those blogs to my blogspot blogs. Yeah, since Google 'nuked' my aimvotal blogs, I think it is better to have Google pay for hosting.

    I still have a full year to finish what I paid for my aimvotal.com hosting account. So the transfer will be gradual and complete by next year.

    Ok, I hope you have fun blogging, Scheng. :-)
