I’m Liew Cheon Fong (a.k.a LiewCF). I just passed my 29th birthday at August 19, 2009. September 9, 2009 (09/09/09) is my 4th anniversary of full-time blogging.

My life does not change much after 1st anniversary of full-time blogging.

Every month, I still get money from multiple Internet income sources. I have free time and money to travel at anytime (went to China, Japan, Taiwan this year alone).

I’m no longer taking public bus because I bought the Honda City 2009 (but still take express bus to KL because of the high toll fees and petrol fee)

I have monthly investments in unit trust funds. Am a Gold member of Public Mutual. My latest funds report shows that I have yet to profit from my funds (blame the economic crisis!).

I do not own a property yet. Buying a property is like getting a girlfriend, it is not easy to find the right one and it is a long-term commitment.

A personal good news is that I am now in a relationship. YES, after being single for years, LiewCF finally got a girlfriend!

*hooray!* *claps! claps!*

(No, you won’t see her photo here. )

Health is important, especially for someone who work at home. Chances are you would have less exercise and sitting in front computer or TV most of the time.

My body weight is increasing year by year ever since I became a full-time blogger. No more! Started 3 months ago, I joined a local gym club with a friend and have been actively going for gym workouts almost daily!

Till now, I have successfully lose 5KG+ and have a better body shape (read: bigger chest & arms). *grin*

September 9th, 2008 is the 3rd anniversary of my full-time blogging since 2005.

Wow! 3 years have passed! I still remember the last day of my previous job. Coincidentally, I just met my ex-manager 2 days ago! And, an ex colleague’s boyfriend added me as friend on Flickr.

In the past year, LiewCF.com has the 1st 3,000th feed subscriber, published the 3,000th blog post, and accepted in 9rules Network.

For myself, nothing much have changed since the 2nd anniversary, I am still single and available, and have not bought a car nor a house.

Oh! I gave my first public talk at the Webmaster Malaysia Gathering.

Frankly speaking, I am not a very ambitions guy who has big dreams. I am very much satisfied with my current life (that I forgot to make a birthday wish) and income.

But we need to prepare the worst, therefore I must have a Plan B. I am thinking how I can be more helpful to other people and what I can do about it using my skills. What do you think?

Just before I am going for my HongKong/China holiday, I got a great news. My blog, LiewCF.com is accepted in 9rules network!

“9rules is an online community of blogs and bloggers. In 2006 it took the award for Best Community Site of the Year at SXSWi in Austin, Texas.” [via wikipedia]

I was first notified by Keith Dsouza via Twitter. I thought it was a joke because I didn’t put much hope when filling the 9rules submission form after get to know about the 9rules 6th round submission on “Footsptes in the Mirror” by Edrei(the first Malaysian blogger in 9rules network?)

So far, Edrei found SIX Malaysian in 9rules network:

• Cypherhackz.net
• EducateDeviate
• Hochiak! Delicious Asian Food
• Liewcf.com
• Novelr
• Footsteps In The Mirror

I should be proud about it, shouldn’t I?

My two cents

I am not sure what is the traffic effect after joining the 9rules network, but it is great to be part of the big blogging network. 9rules is about community, as other existing 9rulers told me. Joining the family is definitely a good thing. Wish to have more Malaysian bloggers in the 9rules soon!
