Marching To A Different Beat

authored on Wednesday, September 12th 2007

You are involved in a community that takes you for a ride. You have friends that influence your decisions, your parents tell you to do this and that, advertisements, newspapers, televisions, radio, music and even the books you read all have a rhythm.

Try this experiment. Listen to two songs at the same time.

Try another experiment. Sing two songs at the same time.

Impossible?

Like wise, many people advices you to listen to your own heart. Is that a  different drum beat from having your own opinion?

Surely is.

Many of you will recall during the childhood days, a doctor will say, ‘grow up to be a doctor, can make lots of money’, another ‘be a pilot, visit the world!’, same goes for lawyers, tailors, businessmen and everyone in your life that you literrally look up to.

So “which one?” right?

When you were young, anything goes. Experiment and go places to ‘find out your passions’.

Ahhh…. Passion. that’s the drummer.

The ‘thing’ that creates that rhythm.

The one thing that keeps you awake all night going on and on and on.

The one thing that you do without a push, without a fee, without any help from others.

The one thing you do that makes you forget time itself!

So once you start marching and dancing to a different beat, all other voices, songs, music, nagging, pestering, cheap advices, invalid solutions (what the heck), just melt away like water droplets off the ducks back.

If you have read this far, thank you. Your visit is very much appreciated. Comments from you are greatly welcomed.

Attitude Isn’t Everything

authored on Tuesday, September 11th 2007

Your attitude isn’t everything. Isn’t that quite a statement?

Yea yea, If A = 1 and Z = 26, A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 100%

What a joke.

I’ll tell you what comes before your ‘attitude’ becomes everything.

It is your paradigm, your view of the subject matter.

In short it’s to avoid ‘climbing up the wrong tree’ or ‘cutting the wrong jungle’.

Let me explain with a simple illustration.

You can never be too careful on the road. Accidents can happen but it will never happen to you. So you drive faster. That’s the save time right? Optimistic it is. What a great attitude.

Next to get the best of life, go dash through all the red traffic lights, it helps to save time!

Someone pissed you on the road? Honk like there’s no tomorrow. Live this day as though it’s your last!

Can you see where these attitude of ‘optimism’ and ‘positive thinking’ can lead you? 6 feet under with a blue black messed up face. Whatever.

This is too simple an illustration but the point being made is clear. You need to have a clear perspective,  the right mind set, before you can choose what is the right attitude to carry along with it.

So don’t cut down the wrong jungle thinking your attitude of ‘persistence is key’ will get you through.

Don’t climb the ladder of success to finally find out that ‘there’s nothing at the top’.

Last but not least, always begin with the end in mind and you won’t go wrong.

Basketball Fever Is Back!

authored on Saturday, September 8th 2007

Ever since 2 months back and finding this gold mine where I can prune my skills to the favorite sport of mine, pampered myself today with a brand new baby!

New Basketball

That costs RM39.90. Not the best there is but hey, a man gotta get his exercise once a while.

It’s been a dream to be able to grap the basketball with one hand since the first time I play. I mean, if u wanna slam dunk u do it with one hand right? Amongst many other methods, one hand dunk is still cool.

Basketball One Hand Grip

Yup, no camera tricks there. It has to be the muscles that give me that long lasting grip. Or just maybe it’s a $40 rubber quality. Come to think of it, if I paid for the RM200 one, will it stick to my finger?

Bleh, what lame talks.

Hope tomorrow no rain and Basketball, here I come!

Complemented With The Power Of Schmooze

authored on Sunday, September 2nd 2007

Who’s schmooze? What’s schmooze? Is that the right spelling? Maybe it’s schmoose or smooch. I think I could be a good smoocher.

Schmooze

Google defines schmooze as ” talk idly or casually and in a friendly way”. And I’m flattered DanielCTW thinks I’m a good schmoozer.

Though I think a schmoozer should show some mouth instead of biceps , it’s time to pass the baton on!

  1. Angeline - Remember her the most during ShoutOut gathering (because she nearly killed me)
  2. Ichitaka - Beef it up man! You have that arm, you have the power to schmooze!
  3. Wendy - At first glance I thought she’s japanese!

CSS XSS RSS ASS?

authored on Saturday, September 1st 2007

How did you spend your merdeka? Holidaying? Pak Tor-ing? I was ss-sing! In just 3 days I learnt every single of the 4 items listed on the title.

 CSS - Cascading style sheet. Cool stuff. Imagine you want to change all your links color to green, just add in your external style sheet

a:link{
color:green;
}

piece of cake.

XSS - Last known was called Cross Site Scripting, but many people started to get confused between Cascading  Style Sheet and Cross Site Scripting, so they named the latter as XSS. So what’s XSS? basically it’s preventing you from using javascript or any language for that matter to manipulate a page that doesn’t belong to you. For example, you can’t click a button and autofill my search box because… well, that’s XSS for you.

RSS -  Really Simple Syndication. What’s so simple about it? I’ve been on the web for over two years now and I couldn’t really figure out how and what RSS is for until I had my own personal Merdeka these last 3 days. Creating your own RSS feeds means to compile all your information into a file say “rss.xml” with xml standard coding. It’s really simple because everything in the rss.xml has a head and a body.

<title>This is my first rss</title>
<description>Tomagogame? Never heard of him. </description>
<url>http://www.tomagogame.com</url>

so on and so forth. Go google “create my first rss feeds”.

ASS - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh……. I’m sure you and I know what this means. Nope, nothing related to a donkey. It’s a biological chemistry that happens when one consumes a lot. ASS is nothing more than an abbr of ASSimiliation. Digestion. Ingestion.

OKay, the last one was crap but hey, 3 of the 4 were useful stuff and learning how to implement them into my work gives me more added value and thus increase pay.

Comment quickly and you might get a free lunch from me ;)
