Shopback – I Made Almost RM2000 From Shopping

If you are not using Shopback, you have to get on board right now, because it’s very legit that I’ve earned almost RM2000 of cashback just from shopping online! Disclaimer: This is not sponsored by Shopback. I just find that many of my friends are still not on this cashback program yet and I have the obligation to share with all about this.

Somemore, during this tough period of Covid-19 and economic downturn, we can make as much side income as possible while maintaining life as usual. I love to shop online, especially on Lazada and Shopee to buy small little stuff now and then to fuel my life; yes, I am kind of a material person (I do control my spending though, sometimes). Shopback does a great job crediting small amount of cashback everytime. Best when they have Super Shopback! I’ve get the most cashback from hotel booking, unfortunately this is not the period for travelling!

Friend has been asking if this is a real thing, and I have to share that it’s very legit, just that it takes a while for the cashback amount to show up in your account and take a little extra hassle when doing shopping. You will need to open Shopback app first before going to your favourite shopping app, so two steps here.

They used to credit the cashback quite quickly but it’d become a longer period now, like 3-4 months. After all, this is free money from your shopping so the surprise feeling when seeing it’s credited after a few months is amazing!

RinggitOhRinggit has good tips on Shopback that you can check it out too! Even if it’s a small cashback, slowly it will accumulate to a huge amount, as the Malay saying – sedikit-sedikit, lama menjadi bukit.

Share this tips to your friends and family now! You can sign up Shopback via my link and get free RM5 in the account.

PPS.tv Now Available On Mac

#1: PPS.tv’s download page.

PPS.tv Now Available On Mac – After the long wait, PPS.tv, the famous Chinese movie streaming software is now available on the Apple’s Macintosh OS. The software is a P2P movie streaming software which features lots of Asian and International’s movies and drama which can be watched on-demand.

#2: Screenshot of the application.

It’d been a heat on the Windows. Previously, I watched PPS through Parallel Windows on my Mac but now I have no reason to boot Windows on my Mac to watch it. The whole experience is just the same as the one on Windows if you have used it before. If you haven’t, you should try it out if you can read Chinese.

#3: Icon on the dock.

#4: Installation is simple as ABC.

Setup is pretty easy, just drag and drop into the Application folder from the *.dmg package. You need not to set anything to display Chinese font and no add-on software, it’s so much easier than on the Windows.

Enjoy your PPS on Mac now, head over here to download now.

NetSentry – Monitor Your Data Usage On Android

NetSentry – Monitor Your Data Usage On Android – I’ve realized that my Nexus One uses a lot of data. Although I do have a data plan, but sadly, it’s not unlimited, I only have the 500mb data plan and unlimited data plan is rather expensive for Maxis. I turned of Gmail syncing and now it only auto sync Calendar and Contact.

I need to test use for another month to see whether 500mb is enough for me or not. The only thing I must not do to make sure that I won’t use a lot of data is Youtube, as you know Youtube sucks a lot of data.

Unlike my old Nokia N95, there’s no data counter on the Android. But after some searching in the Market, I found an application that can shows how much data you have used and auto resets every month. It’s called NetSentry, better than NetCounter IMO.

I set 500MB data limit, so I assume there will be a notification when reaching the limit. Hopefully, 500MB is enough for me or Maxis must revise their data plan rate.

How to read Chinese in PPS.tv

How to read Chinese in PPS.tv – PPS.tv is a great Chinese P2P video streaming program, there’s so much show to watch on demand, from Chinese show to American show to Japanese show and more. It’s fast and it’s clear but it’s a Chinese program.

A lot of friends have been asking me why they can’t read the word in PPS.tv program, it shows up as square square in the left sidebar. At first I got this problem too, after searching around the Internet, I still got no solution, so I went to mess around with the setting and finally I got it works.

It works the same on Vista and XP. Go to the Control Panel and look for Regional Language Setting.

There’s 4 tab on Vista and 3 tabs on XP in this window. Go to the last tab, then change the Language for non-Unicode program to Chinese (PRC). Restart your computer and you are ready to watch your favourite show now.

Good luck.

Watch TVB Series On PPS Without Playlist / 如何看PPS港台剧场

I was always a fan of the Chinese TV streaming software PPS.tv but not until lately that they started to remove some channel and playlist like the American TV Series (歐美劇場) and now the Hong Kong’s TVB TV Series (港臺劇場). It’s quite sad that I can’t watch most of my favourite show on it.

This is probably because of copyright issue with the software but I don’t really care, I just want to watch TV series because my country, Malaysia is slow.

Lately, I have found a solution to watch TVB series on PPS even the playlist is not showing, thanks to RYANTCWBBY.

Actually RYANTCWBBY is not a plugin or software, it’s a website that provide the secret link to the TVB series playlist in PPS. Basically you don’t really update your playlist but you go to the website to download the link and open on PPS. Here’s the tutorial.

1. Go to RYANTCWBBY website (Scroll down for new link). Then look for the available TV series on the sidebar that look like this.

2. Let’s say I want to watch the new 點解阿SIR係阿SIR, I click on the link picture then I will be brought into the other page. Scroll down and you will see the below screen shot. Select your option, IE-based is for Internet Explorer user and Non-IE for Firefox and other user like me.

3. Then a pop-up will ask you to launch PPS TV software. No need to download anything. That’s all. Simple enough.

4. Finally, start watching your TVB, streaming from PPS server, but without finding it in the playlist.

Enjoy TVB series and thanks to RYANTCWBBY. =)

UPDATE! RYANTCWBBY CHANGED TO PPSX

New update for the site. RYANTCWBBY has change their link to PPSX.co.cc. Be sure to change your bookmark. =)

It’s the same thing and happy watching! =)

1. Go to RYANTCWBBY website. Then look for the available TV series on the sidebar that look like this.

How To: Install Facebook For iPad App
How To: Install Facebook For iPad App – Facebook has released a leaked version of Facebook for iPad app in July. It was blocked by Facebook in less then a day and I couldn’t login to the Facebook for iPad app anymore. However, I have found a solution on how to access it and have been using it for a few days already.

Some have ask me where to download the Facebook For iPad app but then you don’t really need to download it as you already have it if you have the latest version of Facebook for iPhone on your iPad. You just need to do some tweak to change your Facebook to the iPad version.

One thing you must have is a JAILBROKEN iPad. Follow the instruction below to get your Facebook for iPad app. (Thanks to TNW).
1. Check for updates to make sure you have the latest version of Facebook from the App Store. Also, backup your iPad in iTunes.
2. Visit jailbreakme.com from your iPad. Jailbreaking your iPad is legal, but voids your warranty if you bring your iPad into an Apple Store. It’s easy to undo if need be. Just pug your iPad into your computer and restore it from your previous backup. (If you are running iOS 4.3.3, this will NOT work.)
3. Once the jailbreak process is complete, tap on Cydia, that was just installed on your iPad.
4. Tap the Search tab in Cydia and search for iFile. Download it using the button in the upper right hand corner.
5. Once iFile installs, open it up, and navigate to the “var” folder of your iPad. Then go to “mobile,” then “applications,” then “directory.”
6. Click the settings gear icon in the bottom navigation bar and turn “Application Names” to “On.”
7. Open the Facebook folder within the “directory” folder you’re inside of. Once you’re inside the Facebook folder, open Facebook.app.
8. Look for the info.plist file, then open it. Pick “Property List Viewver” to view the hexadecimal settings for the Facebook app.
9. Look for the UIDeviceFamily field and select it.
10. Delete the 1 you see, and put a 2 in instead. Tap “Done” to complete the process.
11. Hold down your power button to reboot your iPad.
12. Then go to Cydia again and seach for Faceforward.
13. Download and install it.
14. Launch your new Facebook app and you are now in.
Cydia hack to allow you to login to Facebook.

It’s a little bit buggy, Page is not working as it crashes but overall it looks good. But if were to compare to MyPad, MyPad seems better than this. Tell me what do you think after trying it.
