The firs time of that happening was an awesome feeling but these days, the novelty has waned somewhat as more and more keywords get ranked either top or top ten. They still are. But, yes, it is still a good feeling to have your site listed top among the thousands for the particular keyword. <BR/><BR/>Certainly, laughter is the best medicine - as research has shown.<BR/><BR/>Hope you are doing well, Joe.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-85411325930841731562008-09-21T18:27:00.000+08:002008-09-21T18:27:00.000+08:00Foong, yeah, these things normally come in the mai...Foong, yeah, these things normally come in the mail and not just once, afterall good things are repeatedly being forwarded.

You know too much, you blush or cringe equally much when people think you don't know the dialect and the bad words keep flying and increasing in intensity. Aiyoh! You don't know whether to stick around or leave the place.HappySurferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444290549991093661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9814112.post-15663499391179033292008-09-21T18:15:00.000+08:002008-09-21T18:15:00.000+08:00Hi Tekkaus, yeah funny alright.

The person looking for 'sexy partner in kl or kuala lumpur' would be sorely disappointed when he comes to my site. LOL!<BR/><BR/>MBL, you know what? Of all the mainstream dialects, Hainanese is the one I don't know.
