My Thoughts On Everything…..

It's all about my jourey and my pursuit to the happyness. In finding my ways to a total freedom. I wish that my life couldn't be any easier than others...For every action, for every reason and for everytime goes by, I always stand out amongst the crowds. Being ordinary is very simple and easy but lame...but being extraordinary it takes more than usual...it's not that simple as much people can see me right now.....Things that makes me difference are;- I Always Try To Upgrade The Value of My Time and I Never Ask "How Much Does It Cost, But How Much Will It Make To Me?" ....

Chasing by a road bully….



Yesterday night was quite a horrible experience I’d ever as a driver….I was driving along Jalan Gombak,just came back from Sentul…to get something from my practical students….it’s all happen suddenly at about 11.00 pm……the traffic wasn’t quite heavy…….the road is only a 1 way road…coz the road aside is close for construction……as a result, there is no chance for me to pass the car in front of me….

As I’m still remember the car in front of me is the Myvi-Red Colour with a Plat Number WPA 4702….as I’m driving just behind that Myvi….suddenly he start to drive slow…even though there is no car in front of him..but at the beginning I’m just cool…..I was thinking that maybe he’s on the phone….but thing start to happen weirdly ….which I don’t know what’s going on…..and the Kenari behind me start to give a high beam on his headlamp…..and I’m also doing the same…..then suddenly it’s just getting worst…this bloody hell driver start to drive slowly..he try to slowly go to the left side..just like going to give me a way to ove…but it was a trap actually!….he start to staring at me….it’s like in the movie dude…th fellow looks like try to give me some warning signal..which in my oppinion maybe he trying to say that h’s better than me…..ok it’s cool dude…i’t jst  for me…but since my car is heavily black cover tinted….thee is no way for him t see me clearly…and in his oppinion maybe he just assume that I’m a street racer guy too….

Then things getting even worst…this dude looks like try to blocking my car….and I try to make it hard for him…because there is no reason for me to give him the way…and at that time  we’re at the end of the road…..going to the highway..the MRR2 highway…it’s time for me to play hard for him…..

Hey…it’s not easy to tapau me ok…. it’s like a Montoya try to blocking the legendary Michael Schumacher …..I try to make fool to this dude by giving some signal to enter the Tmn Sri Gombak Exit….but then suddenly I’m changing the lane by straight away to the Ampang…..but this dude is like loosing its direction..he have no idea what I’m going to…..and plus  there is no such way for the 1.3 DOHV Myvi going to take over me….coz mine is Renault Clio 1.2, the 74hp 16 valve, 4 cylinder is enough to left his dude behind….and within a minutes….. he’s not even can being seen on my rear mirror….

Huh, what a crazy journey…but it’s never ending in such a way… my adrenalin probaly has getting higher..and I can’t just slowing down….as a result I start to driving fast …n faster….n keep on faster till I’m reaching the ampang area…and I was chasing by another Putra 1.8, Wira 1.6..and even Merc E240….but since the road is quite twisty…..with some cornering and there is no way for those car to pass over me….and seriously to saying here…Savvy+Cornering=Oh my God! it’s perfect…….and straight away I’m pushing to the 140km/h to left those more powerful car behind the wheels…..

malay dilemma



Hmm i’m not a tun mahathir to comment everything about my own people….or even one the most controversy books of all time in a Malaysia history….but one thing that I’m going to write here is from my own thoughts…if there is any similarities like what tun mahathir said it’s maybe because he’s my idol…

Facts #1 - Malay is lazy….

Facts #2 - Malays always looking for the easiest way, for them in everything there must be a shortest path to reach….for example wealth…..even though it’s an illegal way

Facts #3 - Very likes to comments, talking and bashing other peoples.

Facts #4 - No passion

Facts #5 - Excuses comes first……

Facts #6- They don’t even practice what they preach as a healthy Muslim.

more facts will come after this…….and more….and more….and more…..

Do-It-Yourself SEO: A Beginner’s Checklist



after a long hours for a no blogging time session…here are some simple guide for the basic SEO programs:-

There have always been do-it-yourselfers succeeding at web promotion and search engine optimization. In fact, many of the established businesses offering web services today came from humble beginnings, perhaps nothing more than a college student with a laptop, an internet connection, and too much free time. The Web evolves as the result of the innovation and experimentation of individuals. The sharing of knowledge. The do-it-yourself attitude.

As text link brokers and mass link networking decrease in value and use in social media increases, it becomes more important for companies to have an internal approach and awareness of search engine marketing. Don’t get me wrong; outsourcing to SEO firms is still a smart option. That said, making the most out of Web 2.0 usually requires some level of cooperation between SEO firm and site owner. You don’t need to be an expert to know the basics of good SEO practices, and that added knowledge will be a great advantage whether you’re working along side an SEO team, or promoting your own site in your spare time.

So if you’re on a “need to know” basis with SEO, the following points should illustrate what an overall plan should include:

1. Create Search Engine-Friendly Content

Unique web content is your most valuable asset, and ensuring search engines can read it is crucial. Text embedded in images or Flash cannot be read, so make sure you use important keywords, headings, and hyperlinks in plain text form. Instead of using images as navigation links, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) makes it easy to format those links to look more like ‘buttons’, thus creating powerful anchor text as well as making it visually appealing. Use heading tags properly and don’t try to hide keywords or text by making it the same color as the page background or shrinking it so it can’t be seen. Make sure the keywords you wish to rank high for are used frequently in the page copy but within reason.

Now that you’ve created good content, is it actually being crawled? Copy and paste a page’s URL into a search engine to see if it has been indexed. If you’ve just created the page, it may take a few days to show up. Aside from age, many factors can lead to web pages not being indexed by search engines, such as duplicate content (ie. a printer-friendly version of a page might be indexed and the normal version not, or vice versa); links generated by JavaScript instead of HTML; poor site architecture (ie. using too many sub-directories); lengthy, dynamically generated URLs using special characters; and orphaned pages.

2. Choose Your Keywords Wisely

One of the first steps of SEO, this one needs to be done properly the first time or all your future efforts and promotion could end up being wasted. Start by writing down general terms that describe your products, services or web content. Use keyword research services to investigate word and phrase variations. Wordtracker, KeywordDiscovery, and the Google AdWords suggestion tool are good starting points. The goal is to find those niche phrases that your target market uses to find sites just like yours and optimize your site for them. If the phrases do not get enough use by searchers, your profits from ranking for them will be low. At the same time, stay away from general terms that are tougher to rank for (ie. like “art”, “computers”, “business”, etc.) as a great portion of the traffic will be irrelevant and you’ll break the bank attaining such competitive phrases.

3. Get Others to Link to Your Site

In theory there are countless ways, some traditional and some quite innovative, to get other web sites to link to yours. In practice, it can be easier said than done. Google defines a link as it pertains to rankings and SEO as a “vote” from one site to another. The more quality votes your site receives, the greater chance you have of rankings well. If a well established site links to yours, that link carries more weight than one would from a mom & pop shop or less reputable page.

If your site has useful content and is doing something unique, you’re already ahead of much of the competition. People need a reason to link to your site, as very few will do it out of the goodness of their heart. Trading links can work, but link exchange networks have decreased in value and won’t be of much use in competitive fields. Buying links, if you haven’t heard, is a big Google no-no. While entire articles could be written on this topic, here are a few popular methods of acquiring incoming links:

- issuing company press releases with a link back to your site
- submitting to reputable business directories such as Yahoo! and Business.com
- be active on related blogs by commenting and exchanging ideas
- if you have clients with web sites, ask if they would mind adding your link in a “partners” section
- participate in relevant forums and discussion boards with a link in your signature
- write and submit original articles to web publications in your field with a link in your bio
- get involved in social media and bookmarking

4. Join the Social Media Revolution

The collaboration between Internet users and the development of online communities is at an all-time high. Social bookmarking sites such as Del.icio.us, StumbleUpon, Furl, Reddit, and Technorati offer users a way to store their favorite pages and media online, and share it with others. These services also provide a way to promote your own content or create a buzz over a product or service. Creating a Myspace page or Squidoo “lens” is also a way to network and share information.

However, if your goal is to generate sales then you must offer something without the promotional hype. The reality of social media is that popularity is based almost entirely on public interest. If your information or media isn’t unique or of interest to anyone, you cannot force success using social media communities.

The key to using social media and bookmarking sites to your advantage is to not be shy. Network with other users, bookmark and share useful content, create eye-catching titles for your entries, and tell your friends and co-workers to vote on content you have on these sites.

These four points are a general guideline to follow for SEO. Search engine optimization experts and firms are a good outsourcing option in competitive markets, while the DIY attitude can yield great results for web site owners with smaller marketing budgets. If you’re in the latter group, hopefully this helps get you started.

Adopting New Technologies-What category do you fall under?



We live in an exciting time for technology.

There is a great deal of technology available that will make your company more profitable or more efficient. You may even have specific people allocated to identifying and evaluating new technologies that may be beneficial to your company. Depending on your business model, you may be inundated with vendors who promise that adopting their technology will save you money, increase productivity, and make upper management giddy.

The million dollar question is when is it time to adopt emerging technologies?

In order to answer this question properly, you have to take a look at your company culture. It’s defined as the unique personality of your employees within your company, and it’s based strongly on the position that management and upper management take toward change.

For example, is your company culture innovative/visionary, early adopter, average adopter, or conservative? Recognizing where you fall will help you when you need the million dollar question answered.

Let’s break down the unique personality of your company so we can correctly identify your specific company culture.

An innovative/visionary type would be classified as a company and management team who take risks and are eager to adopt new technologies quickly. They welcome change and are open to risk because they see the payoff to be significant, either in the form of profits, efficiency of operation, inspiration to employees, leadership in the field, or any number of other forms. They understand that early adoption may not always work out, but they thrive on the excitement of the technology. This type of company tends to hire enthusiastic, flexible overachievers who are driven to succeed and want a new technology the second it goes into early beta stages of development.

An early adopter would be classified as a management team and organization that needs some stability before moving forward but looks to its future, always wanting to have the latest technology as soon as it is released. They are well-informed on new technologies as they develop and emerge, and research the potential benefits of adopting the latest and greatest. These people are leaders when it comes to implementing new things, but they lead more cautiously than the innovative/visionary group. An early adopter differs from an innovative/visionary as they do not take as much risk.

The average adopter is defined as the company and management team who must eventually move to the technology so they will not be left behind. They don’t seek the thrill and leadership role of being one of the first out of the chute. And while they may acknowledge the possible payoffs of the new technology, they prefer not to leave that which is comfortable. They take very little risk and only change because everyone else is doing it. They basically keep up with the Jones’.

Conservative management and organizations want to take no risk at all and resist change. They will wait as long as possible to adopt a new technology, and have the attitude of ”if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it”. These are companies that fight to the very end when forced to change or adopt any piece of new technology.

Keep in mind that the position of your management team toward change and your company culture can vary depending on the type of technology you are introducing. You may be cutting-edge on collaboration technology, but conservative on your hardware infrastructure.

Now take a moment and try to identify where your management group and company fit within this model on a specific technology you are interested in adopting. For example, let’s say you are looking at a new piece of technology for your company. You may ask yourself:

  • If I am an early adopter, how will this technology provide value to my company?
  • If I am an early adopter, how will this new technology impact my employees?
  • How easily can we implement this new technology, including training, and dealing with a learning curve?
  • If we do not have enough staff, how much will it cost in consulting fees to implement?
  • How does our company deal with failure?
  • What is the backup plan if the implementation of the new technology doesn’t work?
  • Will I be willing to abandon a technology if it doesn’t work?Adopting emerging technologies, especially as an innovative cutting-edge company, can be very rewarding and exhilarating, but it also can be agonizing and painstakingly expensive if the technology does not work. You have to have the type of company culture and management team designed to take on these types of risks.

    Some companies are average adopters and always will be. The more cautious adoption timeline works for them and the people they employ. And some companies have a reputation for their vision and innovation, and thus attract employees who thrive on the risks and excitement of new technologies and change.

    By clearly identifying your group’s willingness to take risks, the impact new technology will have on your business and employees, and the flexibility and strength of the organization you have built, you will be better prepared to move forward with bringing breaking technology in house.

    no more crappy il thing it’s time to move on pal! - now let’s talk about technology!



    For a long time now, AMD has been a thorn in Intel’s side. For geeks like me must already know how Intel has started to strike back by shipping quad-core processors. It has also started to squeeze AMD earnings by lowering prices on its CPUs. So if AMD is starting to have a hard timebeating Intel to market with faster processors and can be sent into the red with a wave of Intel’s hand, how can it compete?

    One good strategy is to hit em where they ain’t. Or at least where they ain’t as strong. To that end, AMD recently decided
    to buy ATI to put itself right in the middle of the graphics card market. Intel markets some graphics chipsets, but usually they’re included on motherboards.
    Usually Intel graphics chips aren’t found on separate cards. That’s where ATI and nVidia currently rule.

    ATI has been around for a very, very long time. While other graphics makers like S3, Diamond, Trident, and others have crashed and burned along the side the road, ATI has always been a reliable, if not always top-performing, chip maker.

    For AMD’s sake, buying ATI is a pretty cunning move. Beyond the talk about the union being able to create a ‘computer on a chip’, the marriage seems pretty natural. AMD has been chasing the graphics market ever since introducing the 3DNow technology into their K6 CPUs. ATI is a perfect extension to those efforts. In addition, with the amount of graphics power
    needed in Vista in order to get Aero Glass working properly, ATI and nVidia chipsets are both only going to be more in demand in coming years.

    Mergers are always difficult things to pull off however. AMD will have to tread lightly in order not to mess ATI up in the short term while making sure that it gets the most out of its investment before Intel can react. That’s probably why they’re doing it before Vista ships.
    Intel has also come close to putting AMD out of business several times by cutting prices. So the timing of the merger is crucial to keep Intel’s price pressure and more rapid innovation from permanently sidelining AMD while putting AMD in the position to really take off once Vista ships.

    I’ve always liked AMD CPUs. Every computer I’ve built for myself at home has used AMD chips. And I’ve always stuck to using ATI video cards because you can always be assured that the company will be around to get drivers and support later. I’m looking forward to see how AMD/ATI is going to fare against Intel in the future.
