Game = Life?

Eminem once said " Life is no nintendo game". Well actually I do think it is a game. My parent always asked me to study and stop playing games. But what they do not know is this, we can actually learn things about life in a game.

In a game we choose to be as what different character you wish to be. Is a time of decision,  you will stand in a crossroad choosing according to what you want to be, what your interested you etc, you might have the chance to change it delete the old character, but you lose out time, experience point and your friend might laugh you when they are now much higher level then you.

This is the same case with life, specifically on your career. After graduation you choose what you want to be in future, what trigger the most interest in you. This is where you start your journey as a sales person/ accountant whatever funny name else. You can have a career shift anytime in your life time but you do have to bear the humiliation of people thinking you are out of your mind, friends of yours might already achieve their peak period, earning so much more driving big car etc.

Game will definitely has something about life in them. Due to one simple reason, the engineer/ story maker producer are also human! They understand life!!

Bad Christmas for me?

I normally doesn't blog anything personal. But this is somehow related to my Google experience with Android phone.

To have a brief history, I start shifting from iPhone to Android back in 2010. Well it's been more than 1 year now. But things aren't so peaceful as at my 6 months with iPhone. My first android phone is the HTC Desire, a brother of google's Nexus One (N1). I chose this phone because N1 was not available in this country. The experience I get is pure awful, the internal memory is too small, the multi-touch panel is actually not so multi touch, first week of owning this phone the wifi chip screw up, at one time the antenna had some issue, and one week before I went for UK, the camera, LED flash light, 3.5mm jack and notification light all dumped me.

That is my first android phone and i refuse to blame google for it. I prefer to blame on poor QC of HTC. And so right before I came back, I brought a pure google experience phone the Google Nexus S(NS). Everything seems a-o-kay to me. But actually it doesn't feel much different from my previous phone. Afterall it's still a phone.

But everything turns into a nightmare on Christmas day. Suddenly my phone gone haywire. All the application I had installed fail to turn on, everytime I switch on something it force close it. All of my data went missing. This is not a good sign for christmas yo! Bad luck seems to been bothering me ever since, the movie I downloaded for a few weeks can't be found in my phone, swype keyboard change their layout and the chinese input turn from horrible to disastrous.

I seriously doesn't know what happen. Maybe is time to get back to apple? Stop pushing me already. I don't want to waste my money on gadget anymore!! Please, let me enjoy my phone once and for more, don't give me failure of this and that. PIFF

iOS 5 vs Ice Cream Sandwich

I didn't have the chance to test out Ice Cream Sandwich ("ICS") but one thing I would love to share is this. Google's phone whether is HTC or purely google got one super big problem. They never announce when you gonna get their update!!

These update will make your neck long due to the waiting. And its like waiting for nothing to happen ><" And someone using the same phone as yours, might get the update earlier before you can get the notification to update. Google like to do this way to minimize impact to their google server, which is a good thing. But!! please tell us when our specific phone can get their update instead of pressing check system update everyday when we are so eager to update to ICS.

In the meantime, iPhone 4s with Siri is some fun shit. But I don't think is quite usable especially when you are not alone. If you do this, chances are many by-passer will brand you show off :D Unless you spent most of your time in your car driving *not nagging the driver* then Siri might be the one for you.

However just for now, my heart is swaying to the iPhone 4s :) because of their beautified application and notification etc. Everything seems so beautiful on their side. People once use android to stay away from having the same phone with everyone anywhere. However the trend has now shifted to Samsung. You can see Samsung user everywhere, so maybe is time to switch back to apple? and reign is the Apple Family? Only time and my bank balance will tell.

iPhone 4s is here!!

Hello everyone! all applefag, ifags, iphone addict, etc. funny name. The master of iPhone is here! the world fastest I repeat the world fastest iPhone is here!!

After the long wait the Apple's iPhone 4s is here. And my dad just brought it today with Maxis. Thank you for bringing in this lovely phone to Malaysia :)

I tried the Siri when I first have my hands on this phone. It thrills me :D It actually understand what am I trying to say. *You know Malaysian's english have a doubtful accents.* I felt the phone is faster then its predecessor.

However, if you upgrade from iPhone4 I got a bad news for you. You are actually getting a new phone but in fact it doesn't feel anything new. It looks the same, works the same, weight the same, feels the same . But this doesn't stop the phone from being anything to bad :D.

Maxis is now selling it. Get to your nearest Maxis store and enquired for this baby!

December!!

Hey is December again!! We have to say goodbye to 2011 and hello 2012. December is as important as every month in the year. Everyone here have been doing a lot since January.

What so special about December? For me, December is a month of reflection. Reflect on what have you achieve in 2011, what did you learn? And who can forget the resolution we crack our head for it, have we finish it? The best thing is we still have one last month to achieve it!!

And last but not least, is the month of christmas :) A holiday where everyone will be smiling, greeting each other. You know what? My favourite holiday is CHRISTMAS!! not only because of I'm a christian, but also we can see a peaceful atmosphere everywhere. Looking at pretty lighting, with fancy decoration, song of joy across the whole shopping mall etc.

So I use this opportunity to greet everyone have a Merry Christmas and a fruitful year ahead!!

Dream?

Everyone have a dream in their life. A thing or things they wish to accomplish. It sometimes give them reason to hang on. But for me, I have some weird dream, my motivation to work is always to be with gadget. To own a tip top new fast cool looking phone? or even a computer laptop, tablet you name it.

To tell the truth many people thinks *including myself sometimes* this is such waste of money. Because of this mere fact, technology advance very quickly. The gadget you own will become obsolete in 1 month if you are lucky. But maybe I do hate to be the same for a long period, I prefer a change from now and then. Maybe this applied to the work I wish to be in? not all those everyday routine job?

Maybe yes or maybe not. Only time will tell, but now the only motivation for me to hang on in this job which I don't see myself in it for long. I want out actually but I do need to stay for at least 6 month to tell them I tried to love it but I'm not interested :D all the best . Live your dream

motorola razr is back!!!

alright mates!! Motorola new sexy phone is here. Coming back from the famous thin looking device the motorola razr. Now is much more thinner ( the thinnest phone till date) being just 7.1mm thick. This makes the Samsung Galaxy S2 and iPhone 4/4s looks like a big fat phone :D

But does it live up to the Razr's success? Well this baby sure makes me wanna get it :) How bout you?

Minimalist

Is it me? or is it the world changing? Minimalist seems like a new trend that I starting to adore it, a lot.

I feel I like the feeling of keeping everything simple, neat and tidy. Nothing too fancy on the decoration. Or maybe I'm just being lazy? But minimalist really can bring out what it suppose to be like. For example and iPad with a folio casing, basically it covers everything giving the protection everyone is craving for. But it close up everything of the original being. So there comes and Smartcover from apple. * This is just an example*

And now I'm thinking of modifying my computer table/ workstation. I thinking of throwing away my old PC for goodness sake. This PC had been left in cold for almost half year now, it is actually dying. And making the desk look messy at the same time :P But it hold loads of data and memories inside. Which is something I'm afraid I will regret it later.

But after all , is it still how you keep your things. The question will always be how well do you keep your stuff. I must admit it, I'm not good at all. So please dont let me fall into temptation on getting things that looks good but not what I really need.

Technology ? Personal?

Is been quite sometimes since I first started to post something in this blog. At first I want to post something more like a personal site, writing what makes me think best, what makes me feel should be done. Things like human behavior, personal experience but nothing about personal life. However things turn out to be quite different nowadays. People actually visit more technology blog. My visit per day increases as I posted thing about gadget.

So what is this blog all about now? Technology? Personal experience? I doubt. But one thing for sure I love to check out new gadget. I get excited over the new iOS5 and of course the new Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. I love using my Mac + iPad + Nexus S. Everything around me is fill with technology.

Being inside the technology whirlpool is tough. Keeping up with new gadget launching, having to live with an older version when you know that the new one is much more faster. Holding on to your wallet. The waiting games etc. etc. No doubt I spend most of my time thinking about how good and how cool I will be if I get my hands on one of those gadget. Indeed I'm turning into a tech geek of my family. Updating friend and family on whats coming up.

But after awhile, when I stop myself and looked back on my achievement. I see nothing, just pile of outdated gadget boxes. Wanting to change new phone every now and then hurts me most. Looking back how much had I spend on all these "liabilities". If I didn't changed so many of them I would be laughing all the way to my bank. But what seen cannot be unseen, what done cannot be undone.

I hope I can keep my head up. Having the ability to check out new gadget but yet control myself to buy the latest. Hopefully my phone can last me 1 1/2 Years before i fork out money for it again. And to all you peeps, use your money wisely or you will in deep shit. Save it for rainy days :)

Steve (Paul) Jobs 1955-2011

Rest in Peace Uncle Steve......

You brought us up with Apple and then with Pixar Animation. You makes us smile when we watch our cartoons, you make us feel premium feel great when we use your products.

The first time I get hold of an Apple device is the iPhone 3gs, I'm truly amaze how much more the smartphone industry can improve. The touch screen is so responsive, games are so addictive. But then I turn my back on Apple and changed to Android. I been using android ever since, but still there are times when I wish my phone was an iPhone.

Then I switched from a window user to an Mac user. Thinking it will be hard to use and hard to communicate with other non-Mac user, it turns out to be nothing hard. Everything just turn out to be simple. " It just work!" Even when I use my macbook in UK for my degree, I found it no problem but faster then most of my friend's windows based notebook.

I thank you once again Mr Jobs, you are truly a legend. Bringing innovation and you charismatic leadership to the world. Rest well Steve.

This is the new iphone 4s

This is the all new iphone 4s.

The differences? Well not much from the outside but quite different in the inside.

Firstly this baby is using the new A5 dual core processor, same as the one you see in iPad2. And a upgraded version of the camera. This time the iPhone features a 8 megapixel camera with the ability to capture Full HD 1080p video, and includes image stabilizer. This time Apple had introduces not only the normal 16gb and 32gb but also the all new 64gb version.

Another "new feature" that iPhone 4s has is SIRI. This makes the iPhone more real to you, you can now have conversation with your phone. The phone now acts more like a secretary to you, therefore Apple actually make everyone sound like a boss now. But thing people gonna miss is those long leg sexy secretary we all fancy about.

So that about what the new iPhone looks and feels like. So now, whats your take? Buy it? Leave it? F**k it?

Let's Talk iPhone?

This is the event of the year. Not only for the apple fanboy, but also all the apple hater come out. You now got newer thing to brag about how cool is your android phone is :D

But seriously is this a rumours or not I have no idea. Tomorrow is the big date but there are yet any comment made by the great Apple Inc. or did I miss out anything? But stay tune for the next big thing.

Oh yea! If this event is the real one, it will most probably hosted by the new Apple Inc. CEO Mr. Cook. so how is his presentation skills? Well let us hope it is as good as Mr. Job's else Apple will be going down the drain :S

Stay Tuned!!

HTC sensation XE?!

Apparently Beats By Dr. Dre had team up with HTC. a combination of today's best smartphone technology and the so proclaim best audio brand. Differences between this "XE" version and the original version are the additional 300mhz of processing power, a bigger capacity battery, comes with a 16gb microSD card instead of original 8gb and last but not least beats audio.

With the signature black and red of Beats hook up with the ordinary yet powerful looking HTC sensation, will your music now sounds better? Well we can only tell after it release to the market. But at least you are getting a pair of decent looking earphone with mic and control button to skip your music *not to forget repeating it* At least your getting a better quality earphone compared to previous cheapo samsung/htc/motorola's earphone. 

Pricing information and releasing date in Malaysia are remained unknown but roughly this beast should be releasing in October and pricing with roughly be RM2,000++ ?  Your pick?  

Just Be Yourself!

Listening people's advise? Following your idols footsteps? Looking up to someone? Well those makes you what you are now. Your aims, your motives creates you! But surely you had been feeling sad before because of what people said about you.

There are always ups and down in life. But do not let life pull you down! What people say does not really covered things up. They might say the correct thing, but chances are they might not. They have no first hand information on whats happening. All they see is the outside but never the inside.

Taking their advise is like doing a project. You can start by gathering information on others, but never to lose sight of your own project * being yourself*. Even if someone did some very good stuff in some of the processess , it might not be suitable to you. Therefore my friends, think wisely. Know what you want, know what you do not want. Just be yourself. There is no prize for the best copy-cats. But there is the ultimate glory for you being yourself.

google +

Well, well seems like google is now getting into the social networking wars, the google plus / Google+.

Many people think it just like another facebook, to save the introduction steps. It does work like facebook, uploading your status updates, sharing photo.

But one thing google did do is to set up circles. You can have your status or photo only made available to certain group of people. For instant you post something about your family and only wants your family members to view it. So you can click on to share only on the "family" circles.

From my point of view, it is quite neat for google to come out such simple social network. But hey! how complicated do you want your social network to be? Google just announce Google + apps on iPhone and long available on Android devices.

Thats my first impression toward google +, let see what can I do in google + that I can't do in facebook. Oh ya! Google + is now not open to public yet, so if you want any invitation just message me and I will invite you. Till then happy googling!

Android vs Apple

The world of smartphone. Begins in the Nokia era, Then comes Windows mobile. But now those 2 big software maker is nowhere to be seen. The world is now all about Android phone or Apple's iPhone. Which makes people in dilemma. Which is the best one to offer?

Both of them are very good platform, believe me both of them did really well in term of functionality. But still it depends on what your looking for in a phone. If you like to be simple, everything straight forward with tons of game to play without much difficulty in searching them apple will be your choice. However if your looking to have a extraordinary phone with many things to change and modify, Android will be your choice.

Apple logo forever is the biten apple. Nothing much to shout about, every time they change it will only be maybe a glowing apple, a metal apple. But still it is apple. This show that their branding, no matter what happen, apple will not let you customize too much.

On the other hand, Android's mascot, the green robot give you full customization ability. Even their mascot you can see like a business man robot, a cheerleader, or just a plain green android. This is how android get market share from apple. People do want to look different, they want to feel different.

Apple's phone is all about application. They are very proud on their app store. Which is a good thing, they have proper checking process to ensure the application are in tip top condition. In the other hand, google does not gives any checking process. Everyone can send their app in for sell. The bad thing is the quality at least for me is very bad looking :D

Even with the knowledge between their 2 major platform, I still have some dilemma to choose which one will be my next phone. But I do have very bad experience with HTC's desire. It when haywire after one week after my purchase, and now the camera, LED notification light go poof. Well at least I'm utilizing my warranty :D

Overcoming the challenges?

After one month in Liverpool, things had sort out pretty quickly I'm happy to be here. But things didn't work out right as always. Bad things do happen. Even when problem caused by friends, lecturer, own time management, money matters etc.

But now I'm having difficulty in my life. I'm feeling this is a challenging, and it's killing me. Is not about money and time. This thing doesn't see eye to eye with my heart. This is not a good thing. Hopefully I will be granted with a better mentality to overcome this challenge. This might make me into a better person! Hell ya!!

Lately I feel that I need to walk back the way of Jesus. I been long lost with his words, even thought I still pray for my family. I need to have a better determination on everything I planned. Failing to plan is planning to fail, and failing is not an option. Do you best danny boy !!

Self-awareness?

I'm gonna start this with a question, how well do you know yourself? The problem is, most people doesn't really understand themselves. Or I put it this way, most people don't put much attention to themselves. If you think how can someone doesn't know something well after so many years of sticking together. Well folks,  think again! 

Last week I went to a seminar/training regarding you self-awareness. At first I really have no idea at what am I good at and also what do I like. More like I'm trained not to be too over rate myself? So basically when people ask how good am I, I will say I'm nothing but a normal person with nothing extraordinary. But the truth is, everyone is special in someway. They might not be the best, but they do better then many people. 

But if you know yourself well, you can work happily because your doing what you prefer best. And also the chinese saying : Knowing yourself and your rival, gives you advantage over many things. So do you pay enough attention to yourself enough? If possible, gives yourself a chance, go for self-awareness training, it is fun and also breakthrough on your thinking!! 

apple wwdc 2011!!

Well folks... this is one the biggest event of the year hold by apple. Normally around this time of the year, Apple will likely to announce their new gadget, the iPhones. However this year is just a little bit different from other years. This year instead of announcing the new iPhones, Apple decided to announce only the iOS5, the operating system for iphones,ipads and also the ipod touch.

According to Apple, the new iOS 5 got as much as 200+ additional features compared to the previous version.



There you go! These are the coming feature of the new iOS5... seems to be quite promising if you asked me. I would say this is one of the most impressive iOS since the beginning of the iphone era. Apple not only make things simple for everyone, they beautify the simple steps. Take that android! I'm a android user, no doubt they are good but they just not that pretty to look at. Look at the apps on android and on apple's. The interface on both.

Apple had taken their move, now android your move?

What a week!

This week is a week of preparation for my coming EVENT!! I'm leaving Malaysia to a city called Liverpool!!! HOME OF LIVERPOOL F.C.!!! wooohooo

This week I didn't have to wake up early, didn't have to go to work. just a whole week of preparation. But then bad luck strikes me :) My puny phone fail to support my excitement to go overseas. The camera spoiled, the notification light from orange changed to red, and from red changed to no light!! This is just pure FML. However, is ok as there are bigger events that can over take the sadness, but one thing for sure. Next phone NO MORE HTC! ;)

The once in my life time, i spend MYR 1,500 in cash in one day. To buy some short pants, go for a movie, food and of course change some pocket money for the sake of this study trip. Suddenly i felt that I'm totally unprepared for this but I been looking forward to this day since I first graduated from my secondary school. I'm gonna finish this race this target this aim to make me a more worthy person, a person with high career expectation :D

Till then, will me good luck in my life over there. I bet this will be one of my most memorable journey ever!!

Asus Eee Pad Transformer!!!

iPad2 had always been a huge success all over the world. Because of their branding, pricing and to some extent their technology. However today in Malaysia we had launch the Asus Eee Pad Transformer!!

The Hardware
This baby comes with 1GHz dual core NVIDIA Tegra 2 processor, 10-inch LED Backlight multi-touch screen with resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels, docking port on the bottom of the screen for QWERTY keyboard, equipped with 5 Megapixels camera with LED flash and an additional 1.2 Megapixels front-facing camera for video chat, 1080p HD video playback support, 1GB RAM, a micro HDMI port, GPS, Bluetooth and WLAN 802.11 b/g/n connectivity, micro-SD card slot, 16GB / 32GB memory storage, Asus Webstorage (Unlimited for 1 year), Adobe Flash 10.2, Android Market and a whole host of Google services. Connect it to the QWERTY keyboard base and you get an extra eight hours of battery!! 16 Hours of battery life! Take that iPad


The Software
To all android fags, this tablet/pad comes with a Android 3.0 Honeycomb *specially for tablet*. This gives reason for android phone user to get a tablet. Instead of using the same OS for all the other post-PC product like apple :) 


The Price
iPad2 is popular because of an affordable price starting from RM 1,499 for the base model. However Asus had outdone them by setting the price as low as RM1,498 for the tablet only or RM1,799 for the keyboard dock and also the tablet. Take that apple! How much do you charge people by selling your freaking bluetooth keyboard ><" 


For more information, you can just simply google it :P or visit the Asus Malaysia facebook page by clicking HERE. This is not a review just a mere telling everybody post :) 

determination

Determination, is the power of will. It helps one to not give up easily on their route, their course. Until they finish the race, win the battle. To cut the story short, determination is what keeps us moving.

Determination tend to decrease as we grow older, having influences from others, knowing the cruelty of reality. All these things will make us fall back to our own feet. Lowering down our self-esteem. Back when the day we are still kids, not knowing much in the outside world other than our own communities, thing doesn't really seems that bad. Kid have their ambitions, to be a policeman, a doctor, an architect and the list goes on and on.

But as times goes by, people give bad influence to their life. For example" You wanna be a policeman? It's dangerous! You might get yourself killed!" or even " A doctor? very well, but to let you study doctor/medicine, you have to bear the cost of studying". and of course! The ways people stop you is so variously constructed just like music!

Anyway, critic like that might be better off some might not. But it defeated the purpose, the original meaning of not giving up hope. What makes a person to be successful is not mere luck, it is their spirit of not giving up hope, forever fight for success.

So readers here, If you had set a dream fight for it. If you have a plan, work it out. Even if it fails don't give up just like that, reorganize your strategy and try try again! Life is like a game, the only game over we have is death. If we still have breathe we can still fight :)

Music Music Music

Music had been surrounding us since the day we were born. A simple sound of a whistle can bring back my joyful memory as well as the sorrow ones.

Music evolve from time to time. We use to have music instrument like drums, guitar. Then they become electrify!! as times goes-by, it evolve to become air!? Many people doing beatboxing, air guitar and so on. Isn't this weird? from something simple become something complication and out of the sudden it become nothing, just mere sound.

Picky people will listen to every detail in a song. The beats, the vocal the drum the guitar the feeling and emotion from the song. To have the stage feel is actually quite enjoyable, it makes other fell for the music. Well for others, they just listen to the rhythm and just enjoy it. Making life simple perhaps?


Well for me I'm in a dilemma. To choose a headphone or a earphone. Or maybe not choosing both. These few day I had been in research and research, doing survey and more survey. But till today i have yet to make my decision. Just a slow decision maker am I? Actually the one decision stopper is this one. WILL I BE USING THIS OFTEN? DO I HAVE A PROPER MUSIC PLAYER? This is the main problem haha. But anyway back to the researching maybe I can start gaining knowledge on music soon enough?

iPad2 restock!!!

Yo peeps!!

Malaysia's iPad2 had been restock and will be releasing this Saturday! If you want your hand to get hold of this baby so badly, please get up early on saturday 7th of May in most of the apple reseller!!!

How I get this information you might ask. Well, i gotten a call from Machines, they asked me whether i want to work for them for another day. Because of the second wave of iPad2!! woohooo!!
So this month is all about iPad2?

Most of my friend who owns a iPhone doesn't even want to buy an iPad. because it runs almost the same thing in their phone except they got a much bigger screen for viewing pleasure. For me, I will think this as a add on, just like a teaspoon and a table spoon. A teaspoon can do almost everything a table spoon can, just that the table spoon is bigger, and can do certain thing better just like scoping up your rice.

There are actually purpose for everything. It actually depends on how you look at it or in this case, how you use it. As far as I concern, the apple's buyer actually don't really care much as long is from apple.This my friend had make most if not all android user calling apple user the "Worshiper".

I like apple product no doubt about that. I used to have a iPhone 3GS, now having a Macbook Pro 13". Those product I think is wonderful is simple, fast, smooth and best of all no need to fear about viruses. As apple's software gives more security and is lesser loophole compared with the almighty Microsoft.

So that all for the day, Imma just sharing information plus a little of my point of view. Till then see you all in KLCC this saturday . Enjoy your iPad2 dreams

machines and ipad2

well well, finally I'm working for machines. Before I graduate, I was once looking for a job with machines, but in the end I had chosen to work with something related with my studies. To be a company secretary. And in my mind I was thinking, I will only be a customer of machines instead of working for them.

And it turn out, everything in life there are door of opportunity opened up for you. Last week I saw Machines's facebook account searching for part timer for 2 day (29th and 30th of April) I didn't think much, I just email them for more information. I'm not interested in the product they selling but I want to have an apple experience. The event for two days is for the launching of ipad2.

And poof!! I had finish working in Machines for 2 whole day. It turns out to be a very precious experience for me.
First and foremost I got the chance to actually speak up with stranger/customer. I actually enjoy explaining or just having some chit chat during working time.

Secondly I get to know a few new friends. Chinese, Malay and even one from Bangladesh. Without this chance I will still think I cant mix with people.

Thirdly is the apple experience I get from Machines. The gadget made from apple. no doubt they are good piece of technology with simplicity of every thing they do. But the buyer sometime just buy because its from apple, without actually knowing what are they getting and how to use it. Well, those are what i learn from them. If you think I'm wrong prove to me :)

anyway i still <3 apple product especially for their macs. But for ipad2? Maybe I'll skip, the iphone? I might still want you :)

Real Hero

This few weeks i been playing a game called Z.H.P Unlosing Ranger vs DarkDeath EVilman. This is some kind of game available for PSP. Is a strategy game but I what I want to share is the story line.

The story goes like this, a bystander was given a chance to become a hero to save the earth from the Darkdeath Evilman. But this bystander is just another ordinary guy, with no super power what so ever. So the 1st match against the big boss, he died. Well, sort of. The bystander was transported in the niche of time before he die, he was transfer to a another earth to train up to become a real hero.

In this game, the main character does give inspiration during his training. One of it is never gives up even you are afraid of something. Even an underdog will be able to out shine others if he/she keeps on trying and not giving up. Do not let your emotion get carried away, just like when you are on a diet , don't let the "Just a little bit more" caught you in the act.

Anyway back to the game now... Inspiration game, how rare :)

Losing = Winning?

What can you do when you are about to lose someone? Or something? Apparently there is nothing you can do, the only thing to learn from your mistakes, and not to do the same mistake again.

Keep your head up; don’t look down at your feet. There is always tomorrow for you. When there is hope there will be light. Is this how it should be. Not to say that the path will be smooth after this, you might have some crooked path ahead, tomorrow or even the day after that. But do not forget the world is at your feet, you are just losing something but not everything. If it is money going away from you, pull up all your other resource and work for plan B. If plan B fails there will always be C, D , E to infinite.

My brother and sister, there are always up and down in this world. No one is perfect, all of us do mistake. But put one thing in mind, the mistake you make can be an inspiration to do better next time, or even to improve yourself as a person. Kind to thing of it, I’m lucky enough to have mistakes in my life, the trail and error makes a more knowledgeable. You do suffer in the beginning but the final’s prize is much more bigger than you can imagine.

Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. So are you much stronger now?

Friends?

There is a story about a girl. She is a normal looking girl but funny she had little friends. Even where she goes, her friend will just tried to leave her. Seems like everyone doesn't like to be her friend. Even some close friend of hers will tend to keep a distance between them after knowing her more. And the lastest record is she went into a totally new environment, but those people at that area seems to start hating/dislike her after 3 days. Well, all I can say is this girl really have some problem. Face Problem? Being a bitch ? Personality clash? Only she herself will know about it.

There are actually quite a few type of friend that we shouldn't be messy with. below are the few i heard today.

MONEY FACE FRIENDS
These type of friends are those who stay close to you because of your wealth. When your in deep trouble, they probably gonna disowned you to be their friend. This is the type of friend that use you to get benefit out from you. as known as Friend of purpose.

OPPORTUNITY FRIENDS
These are those who be friend with you to seeks opportunity for own gain. More like a business friend if you ask me. These definitely not people you want to be your true friends.

DISHONEST OR GOSSIPING FRIENDS
Well, having these type of friend that share gossip of some other friends to you, chances are the same person gonna spread the gossip to other of his/her friend especially the thing concern on you. If they can share other people things to you, so can he do the other way round.

FRIENDS OF GOOD TIME
These type of friends are those who share your joy,play with you,have fun with you * When you are ok*. But when you are in your down times, when you need your friend they will become like a magician. Suddenly disappear in your life.

HOT TEMPERED FRIENDS
Friends like this might spoil the environment. Having argument over small things. Mostly these type of friends will more likely to bring you into trouble then helping you to solve out problem. You don't want to get into more trouble right?

FRIENDS THAT DO NOT LISTEN
Everyone needs a friend to share their happiness and sorrow , to give an idea to solve problem. But when your friend doesn't listen to you, only non stop bubbling about his/her stuff but never care about yours.

A person's personality can mostly be determined by the groups of friend they are attached to. So choose your friends wisely, you might learn a something from them and they can be a helping hand when you need them :D

Memory?

Another week had gone. People are growing older, memory are getting worse? Can't remember anything well? Having short term memory?

Well this things actually doesn't come by age. As ages comes, your brain actually become better. During my younger school day, my teacher told me human actually use less then 1% of their brain power. I was like what the hell? Less then 1% usage, isn't this more wasteful then people throwing un-finish food into dustbin? So what if people's use more then that 1% of their brain? Well the best example for this will be one of the greatest brain in the world , the late Mr. Albert Eistein. People say his brain is rather small for a normal person, however the small is an advantage for him, report shows that he actually uses quite a lot of his brain.

People tend to loss their memory when they get old. This statement had been falsely stated. The best example will be for those who met an accident, a very fatal one. But miraculously survive, most of them will have flash back of their entire life before their eye right before the accident. You heard me, ENTIRE LIFE!! Is this the hidden power of our brain? So how can we actually build up that "supernatural" power?

Neither do I know how. Haha. But at least the reader now know that there are actually some hidden power in our brain. Waiting to be unleash. If you all know how, do share here : )  

another day another lesson

Today is such a amazing day for me. I receive my 1st ever laptop and also my 1st ever Mac OS product. My Macbook Pro. I woke up 9 in the morning for this piece of sexy machine. I actually didn't expect this to  reach me that early ( I actually expected it to come next Monday) But the special feel of wanting to get it earlier. So there is it. Is a day of celebration.

Another thing is this, is April now and i shall start my plan. No one actually know what is the actual plan is. But for me the plan is more like a target then a achievement I want to have. It is for not letting myself wasting anytime of mine.

I actually brought a business weekly magazine "disguise as a newspaper" to enhance my understanding and create a better exposure in the current business world. Then this article pop up. Is all about apology. Many time we listen people yanking/yelling " This guy should apologize!! " But seldom to never you heard people yanking on the acceptance of the apology. This really strikes me. Now i realize there is actually a bigger picture behind it. Even when someone actually apologize to you but is the acceptance that really matters.

Think about it, does the apology really matters to you when you are ready to accept it? I think the answer might be maybe? no? or maybe a yes? Everyone know this, Sorry seems to be the hardest words. But accepting it show a better personality. Forgiving doesn't mean forgetting, it just an acknowledging you acceptance that human are not perfect, we still do mistake :)

Chrome VS Firefox 4.0

Few days back, I downloaded the new Firefox 4.0, so i did a little comparison on both Firefox 4.0 and Google Chrome web browser.

START UP SPEED

Google chrome is well known for being lightweight, minimalist. For a daily user that need speed no doubt chrome is the way to go. As for FF 4.0, it does become more lightweight compare to its predecessor, but still it takes around 5 sec to startup. Google need just 2 sec to pop up the browser.

BUGS?

with Google chrome, I have non noticeable bugs or failure. Everything works with wonder. However with the latest Firefox 4.0, sometimes I had problem refreshing the website. I press F5 (shortcut key for refreshing) or even clicking the refresh button, nothing happen. Maybe Firefox is still new :) but this definitely NOT a deal breaker.

MARKET SHARE

after so many years of competition. Firefox still hold the bigger market share in the web browser market compared to Google chrome. As at February 2011 . For me, this had create a bigger debate between which is better. Fanboy vs Fanboy?

VERDICT

As for me, I still prefer to use Google Chrome, as it gives many application that you can sync with your android phone. And you can search whatever more easily with the so called "multi-function" address bar. Maybe I'm becoming a fanboy but if your PC/laptop doesnt have huge amount of free rams, I suggest you to use Chrome :)

money or experience?

Have you ever wonder what are you looking for in life? Is it monetary or other things?

During this so called semester break. Most of my friend did very well, they found great job getting reasonable high income monthly. And yet i'm stuck in this small audit firm doing corporate secretarial practices. As far as I know, my salary is way below market, and so is my workload. Friends do ask me why am I still working in this company? Torturing myself? My answer is YES and NO. Yes I'm trying to torture myself, I want to make myself know that money is hard to earn, not easy to get. Whatever things I buy with my salary have to give me back the expectation and value that i fork out.

NO! is because I want to learn more in this company. When you're in a small firm it doesn't means that you learn nothing. I'm staying in this firm because my boss is willing to teach and he is humble enough. Most likely you wont be getting such boss that will slowly patiently educate you on things your doing. I might become a company secretary in future, or maybe not. But as far as I'm concern I'm earning the experience I need in future.

SO OTHER STOP BRAGGING!! I HAVE MY OWN PLAN AND I'M GONNA MAKE MY PLAN WORK !!

decision yo!

Right now, I'm in another crossroad of my life. I'm working, of course working is part of life, nothing wrong about that. But my workloads are actually so little that most of the time I'm online searching for things to do or to view. If not my time will be totally doing nothing. I'm not learning much in this company. and that is one big problem for me, I'm in a learning stage/enhancing my knowledge and skills stage, but yet there is not much things for me to learn.

Seems like I'm getting paid for doing nothing, some might view it as good, some might not. Therefore I had to make some decision on my life now. Whether I should resign and go to the training which I might or might not be offered? Or I stay in this company to waste my time but still earning something? There are always pro and cons on every decision. But the decision have to be made fast!! Time running out, may god show me the way that i should walk. Amen :)

Lesson of Life?

Today had been one of the most ordinary day of my life. But my friend changes it. It became a valuable lesson of my life, on the path that many of us will be going through.

Ever wonder why a rich person can only be richer, and the poor one will be poorer? Mentality. This is one of the biggest different between them. A rich person will ask people to work for them, to help him/her to get more money. While the poor ones will most likely work for someone. Risk taking is what all this matters. In finance there is always this word pop into our minds, high risk high returns.

As an employee, we tend to take lower risks. Heck! even when the company goes boom, they are the first to get paid. Every month you get to get paid on time, if not you can sue the company. Well, a employee doesn't really face much risk compared with their boss.

As the boss, you face risks such as, the market !! ( Economic not good, not much income, expenses still high = die ) Mis conduct of your employees? etc.

So is this high risk , high return going on? So people have to step out from their status quo, be different! be a risk taker. You might not reach the finish line * here the risk * but once u done that you will be richer. *the return*

I do agree to some extent, but if everyone is taking the risk who will be the one to work your plans? There is a eco-system for everything, to keep it balance there must be someone who still become risk adverse.

But anyway thank you for this friend for making me think more. This is a valuable lesson :)

Interview Day~

Today I had my interview with representative from Liverpool John Moore University (LJMU). It ended quite well i guess. Since I'm the 30th person to be interviewed. I ended my session around 12.30pm.

I was interviewed by Mr. Sad Hussain. His british accents are killing me =.=" They sounds like they are talking with a mouth full of food. Luckily I was accompany by a very cute girl. Even I don't know what is her name but she looks cute :P , She was forced to being interviewed first. Until my turn, the first question is a total super open ended question. " How do you describe yourself as a person. " I was like what the hell is that for?

Other questions are about, what are my future plans after graduation , what are my hobbies, how well do you know about Liverpool. Seriously I need to know more about Liverpool for surviving purposes. What are the city's delicacy, what are the thing I must try! For now I want to visit the Liverpool's Apple Store. Since Malaysia doesn't have one :)

Till then, pray and pray I got all pass in my final examination. I miss schooling life

Reading

Reading habit, is been a very long trend. Everyone say read up more and you will be better. Parent always ask their children to study.Study Study! Seriously, reading will no doubt enhance your small brain into something big, bringing breakthrough having different thought.

This is why I pushing myself to read more on business article, magazine. To enhance myself to know more in the corporate world. Few more months later if lucky, I will be in the society to fight for survival. My lecturer onces said, employer tend to look for employee that is "street smart" instead of just having the knowledge gain from the course plan. So here we go again. Let preparation of the HUMAN WAR BEGIN!!!

Influences

As far as I know. I'm a person that can be sway or influence by others easily. Seriously, this had been a weakness for me. When others say product "A" is good, i tend to think that product "A" is good too. When another person say the bad stuff about product "A" and good about another product. I will think that the another product is really better. My needs and my thinking will tend to change according to it too.

This is very bad for me. I weaken my ability to hold on to my decision and never looked back!! I make my decision making procedure takes longer time. I'm now more time regretting and less time looking forward. Sadness in the eye. What can I do about it? Can i change myself? oh gosh! My Career path is still blurry.

...

no matter what you have done, no matter how hard you try. When something happened, it will always stick onto other brain. If you steal something, you will forever have to hang a Cardboard saying your a thief. Human perception will never change, they might forget but it will never be gone. A noob will remain as a noob, a crook will still be a crook after many years.

Many people suffer from these negative perception, even me. Because of my previous experience, I'm forever being branded timid. So it is not okay to be scare because I'm a male right? oh! Gosh! Everything that I doesn't want to do it, people will say that I'm timid. It will never be like , he just don't want it, full stop.

nevermind me, i'm just being emo =.= SCREW YOU MAN!

Happy Chinese New Year :D

Finally the old year is now a past. And the rabbit year IS NOW IN CHARGE!! hopefully this year will be a great one :) All the best wishes and greeting to all my reader :D
Have a safe journey back to your hometown and have a happy holiday :)

What If ...

A question that is so commonly use, but end up in various ways. What if I do this? What if things doesn't turn out their ways? What if this what if that. Maybe these are the nature of a person being uncertain, afraid to take risks. I am too having uncertainty of my life, especially things that change the way I am, my career prospect.

4 years ago, I had the very same issue, what will I study? where will I study. In the end i ended up in TARC studying business management cum ICSA. The reason i took this is because I wanted to have a professional qualification and the option I have are ACCA (accounting) , CIMA (accounting) and last but not least ICSA (charted secretarial). Since I have little to none interest in accounting and I'm not that familiar with formula. So here I am, with the qualification *well, almost*

And now, I'm at another cross road. Since I'm have diploma in Business Admin and also Advance Diploma in Business Management, *hopefully* soon to have Degree in Commerce and also current student/member of MAICSA. Seriously, I'm having doubt now. What line will I be in? Having too many choices isn't always a good thing. And I'm not sure what interest I have in. And also another question what are the option.

A new interest?

Time flies, it been four years since i started studying in TARC as a business student. Now I have some funny thought. Am I choosing the correct stuff for me? If yes, what field will I be interested in?

Till now, this problem still stuck inside my head, but now I have an idea. Doesn't know whether it will turn out correctly or what? or I'm just doing it as a hobby. People who are close to me, will know I like technology from phone to processor and so on. I wanted to owned high tech stuff ( even i cant afford) or do some research on these stuff.

So because of these "interest", i started to wonder should i learn something from it? Something like programming, coding etc. Will I be able to create a software or a website that i can gain $$ from it? *after all I'm still a business student right?* So now to get started i might want to find out the cheapest deal of books/manual, if better still I hope I can get most of the important informations on the internet :D

This might be one of my resolution of this year? Maybe not. Or it might be an achievement for me? But my mind just think of one thing now. Sitting at the swimming pool , enjoying the view with a Macbook and coding at the same time. Kind of nerdy don't you think ? HAHA

Music Moves the world

Music sway people's mood. When listening to "Emo-ish" song, people tend to turn into "Emo-ish". Happy song tend to make the listener feel more lively. and the list goes on and on.

So tell me, are you guys listen to music the way it should be listen? The way the producer want you guys to feel it? Probably not. This is because people doesn't really thinks the quality matters as long the melody is right. However, there are people who take their music seriously.

Now you might wonder how seriously they could take in music, after all music will still be music. However these "audiophile" should spend up to thousand and million of dollars for their equipment just to achieve that standard of quality. Neither do I understand why are they willing to spend so much. Till one day i found out this sweet looking headphone by Beats By Dr Dre.



This cooling headphone with cool black with striking red wires look so yummy. And this baby cost u around RM1,699. not a price that a normal person will fork out for a piece of headphone. However for me, i feel like getting this headphone but i don't have the cash. I search through the internet and to my amaze, there are actually lots of celebrity and stars using this headphone in their MV. I was like WOW! so many people are using these surely these headphones are great one.

and i continue to poison myself to buy one of these....if only im richer than what i am now :)
