[Your advertisement...
...could be HERE!]

Hello! Welcome to Absolute Blather, the blog where everything is made up and the points don't matter. That's right, the points are just like the points in Whose Line?

Recently, I've been getting the feeling that this blog is getting rather grim. Pessimism ooooze out of every post. Which is why I'm lightening things up a bit.

Ok, now for the serious stuff. Since my compulsory national service ended, I've lost the allowance of S$500 every month. Therefore, I've been short of cash lately, which is why I've decided to start advertising on this blog.

Advertising is very common on the web. In fact, it's Everywhere. So it's not weird for me to include it here. But before you start criticizing me for this course of action, I assure you that there will be absolutely zero banners and click-ads here. All adverts will be personally screened by yours truly, and incorporated into the text. You won't even notice it's there. Here's one for example:

Have you ever been out, and needed to use some money only to find that you are short of just one dollar? The nearest ATM is outside, up an escalator, a right turn, straight, a left turn, down an escalator, straight till you reach the fork, take either the right or the left path coz they merge anyway, then look for the extremely long queue*. Well, fret not, coz I've just got the solution for you! It's called The Extra Dollar. Save yourself troublesome trips to the ATM, and

SMS [DOLLAR] to +65 97385964

and you will get the convenient Extra Dollar for just 2 easy payments of $0.99**. That's right! You'll never need to worry about being short of a stupid dollar in your purchases again!

*That's the actual description of the route from the Bugis arcade to the nearest ATM just above Bugis MRT station.
**All currency is in Singapore Dollars.

See, you didn't even notice it.

Actually... I don't really have anything more to say. So, I will end this session with yet another discreet advertisement:

Help a victim of the rising cost of living by donating a small token of your generosity to the Absolute Blather Charity (ABC) Fund. All 100% of your donations will be directed toward efforts to maintain Absolute Blather functioning. Because this charity is operating on a very small scale, only cash is accepted. Contact Mr. Lim for more information.

And seriously, nobody is paying me to put these adverts up.
