Choosing the right credit card

It may be a taboo to some but this piece of plastic definitely comes in handy if you know how to make use of a credit card. For travellers, carrying less cash means less risk. In fact, you are better protected from unauthorized charges in the event of fraud or loss of credit card by notifying your credit card company. On the contrary, you may lose all your hard cash instantly if your wallet is stolen.

Getting the right credit card with a chock-full of great travel benefits means you are rewarded with savings, more mileage points earned regardless of airlines, faster way to accumulate the most miles and other perks that somehow many have overlooked.

If you have been looking for the type of credit card specially designed for frequent travellers and travel enthusiasts, look for one that provides you with:-

- High Conversion Rate from your dollars to miles
- Flexible Redemption options
- Freedom to use the card without limiting the usage to certain travel-related merchants.
- Attractive Travel Rewards
- Hotel Privileges
- Other benefits such as Free Travel Insurance.

iPhone Cover from Ben & Jerry

Woohoo! I got the iPhone cover from Ben & Jerry today. Won it from an easy-to-win contest run by a lovely Singapore Food Blogger, Catherine from Camemberu. Her latest blog post features my favourite pepper crabs from Eng Seng Restaurant (Singapore)! As suggested, I’m here to show off this strikingly colourful iPhone cover. LOL Thank you Catherine!

This is NOT an Advertorial! It’s a THANK YOU post!!! =)

My First HTML Website – Strictly NO LOLs

My first HTML website hosted by Geocities is officially shut down by Yahoo today, yet another four days to go before its 10th anniversary!!! Boohoo!!! What a shame! I couldn’t remember when I stopped updating the homepage but it was created on Nov 1999!

Back in the heydays, when there was no Facebook, no Twitter, no Web 2.0, Geocities was about as close as what we know today as social networks. It offered free web hosting services and that was where I learnt to write HTML to create my homepage and share travel photos online with friends! Back then, blinking gifs, marquee text and MIDI were very popular! Oops! Have I revealed my age? … :P

Luckily, I got this news earlier so all the files are already backed up! It’s quite embarrassing to showcase the screenshots of my super old HTML homepage here. Whatever. Just LOL if you want. I just realized that I was already building a small and simple travel site featuring my overseas trips way before TravelerFolio was created! @_@

geocities-eunicekhong

See? Back then, I was trying hard to “retain” visitors with these “blazing hot” games like Tic-Tac-Toe, Slot machine and Video poker. -_-|||

geocities-games

This is what we called a blogroll now! And I was so niceeee to share useful sites online! XD And I was really inspired by the photos in Webshots!

geocities-linkpage

Wow! I did a page about Singapore too! @_@

geocities-singapore

Feeling a bit nostalgic now. Will Wordpress and Blogspot shut down their services in the future too? :P

Good news (at least for me)! My old HTML website is now hosted here! http://travelerfolio.com/geocities/ . Strictly NO LOLs. Anyway, you won’t see the travel photos as I have already disabled that feature.

Thank you and Goodbye Geocities!!!
