Websites for the frugal
For all others - the key is in the “little things”. A can of Coke, a pack of cigarettes, a chicken burger, a pack of chocolate - those add up to quite a big sum in the end of the month, believe it or not.

Good luck ! (you’ll need it)

Jangan mau dibodohi oleh oknum-oknum ini.
Note: My interest would be on security updates.
Just another reason to avoid Microsoft products - when you upgrade their product, you expect it to become better. But other things may happen instead :
It’s even more ridiculous for the fact that you’re paying a LOT of money for it

My friend, Kemas, noticed that his website now ranked #1 for “Kemas” keyword on Google.
So I tried entering “Harry” on Google - and lose hope immediately. Among my competitors are Harry Potter, Harry S. Truman, etc.
Me, number #1 on Google ? Ha !
