I went to Moniker to purchase an AVAILABLE sampledomain..asia, but card was decline so i went to EuroDNS but the "sampledomain.asia" was UNAVAILABLE.
So i had no other choice but to go to Godaddy, and "sampledomain.asia" was AVAILABLE there, so i registered it, was billed, confirmed. BUT when i looked at my portfolio it showed as PRE-REGISTRATION STATUS. Next thing i knew, it was no longer on my portfolio! Just like in the Sunrise Landrush Application!
