Not long after I started this blog in December 2009, I signed up with Google AdSense to serve ads in the hope of making some pocket money on the side. A few months later, I took down all the ad spaces. This was after hearing rather negative stuff about bloggers being "banned" with little chance of being reinstated. I didn't want to have the same experience. Could be quite depressing, I thought.
However, a couple of months ago, while chatting with a fellow blogger, I was advised to just put up the ad spaces for AdSense again and if I did get banned, then, too bad for me. If I got paid, it would be a bonus. Mentally prepared thus, I ventured forth with AdSense once more.
Today, as I was sorting through four days worth of mail, I found a cheque from Adsense! My first cheque from AdSense! It added some cheer to a wet Sunday. :)

Tea with AK71: First cheque from AdSense.

Tea with AK71: What does a bundle of new notes look like?
What does a bundle of new notes look like? More specifically, what does a bundle of new S$2 notes worth a total of S$2,000 look like? Here are a few photos taken from different angles:
It was my first time seeing notes wrapped up in "MAS" plastic shrink wrap. Very official looking.
OK, how did it feel like? Felt like a brick, a heavy one too.
Maybe, I am just a mountain tortoise. ;-p
