So then I was thinking, why not just forward my normal email to my gmail account, access it via POP3 like normal and then just have that account on my client setup with my real email address.
What you need to do is to forward all your normal to Gmail and then uses their POP to “pop.gmail.com”. From my experience, google have the best SPAM filter, nothing blocks SPAM better than Gmail…I don’t know much about anti-SPAM software in the market.

I think I will host my website with Gethosted.com.my. I was looking around for a hosting company as my hosting term will end on October. But to make sure that I could transfer everything without any problem, I would like to get them earlier. They currently have discount for share hosting:-
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! We are celebrating our Merdeka anniversary and all of our SHARED WEB HOSTING are 50% off for the first year. Use this coupon code when order. Coupon code: “merdeka” without the quote.
Seems like a pretty good deal for me and it is using direct admin, which is what I am currently using. Transfering should be easy, but still need to spend some time to make sure everything will be running fine.
If anyone of you have any comment, good or bad, kindly voice out now.

According to a report issued by the California Association of Realtors in March, almost two-thirds of first-time home buyers used the Internet as a first step in their quest for a home.
With so many consumers using the Internet to peruse listings, find recent home sale prices, research a neighborhood and shop for mortgages, agents are starting to see the Web’s advantages. Some now see it as a key marketing tool for themselves and their properties. Just over half of Realtors now have a personal Web site, according to CAR.
Those who are Web savvy also use digital cameras to post photos and create virtual tours of the properties for sale. Others use target marketing with ads to reach consumers via search engines like Google or Yahoo. Many sign up their clients for automatic listing updates to be delivered to their clients from the MLS, and the most advanced are experimenting with digitizing some of the documents involved in the hugely paper-intensive process of “closing” the purchase.
With the effectiveness of Internet, your advertisements will get the maximum exposure. Therefore, I present to you Malaysia Classifieds @ Syiok.Com

Visiball lenses, a golf accessory no golfer should be without. Find your lost golf balls quickly and easily with our specially designed, easy to use glasses. A pair of Visiball lenses makes a great gift for the golfer on your list.
NOTICE: Visiball lenses are NOT golfing sunglasses. In fact they are not meant to be worn while playing. They are designed to be worn only when searching for a golf ball.
Some Demo:

I don’t play golf but I think this will reduce some time under the hot sun. But this is not sunglasses, funny that you will need to change glasses when playing golf.

Was driving arround Klang, Malaysia looking for a pet store and look what I’ve found. Yahoo! Pub & Sport. By the look of the shop, it should not be operating anymore, maybe if I have the chance to drive by at night, I will go check it out.
