Yahoo!! I didn't know this time is sooo much easy to get the Gmail for Domain this time. I've got many domain and applied for it many times before this.

I've always been thinking whether my luck on this one has anything to do with Windows Live for domain or something. Yes, I've managed to get both of them in only 2 days.
