Merdeka, Merdeka!, Merdeka?

Merdeka. Merdeka! Merdeka? Hmm.... Just like every year August is the month of the most 'un-merdeka' thing can happen to Malaysia. Seems like more and more unpatriotic stuff seem to fall on this fateful month rather than happening in other month. Is the month of August jinxed so bad? Early we had tussles between headteacher vs parents in the 'go back to your land' sermons. What escalated then was the authorities kept mum about it and gave those headteachers an 'honourable' (should be...

Anjing Buka Puasa: Google’s ‘Answer’ To Malaysian Premier?

Being a person who is heavily involved in search engine optimisation (SEO) and search engine marketing (SEM), Google search engine (SE) is no stranger to me. My everyday research deals with Google  from resource searching, keyword analysis and many more interesting stuff that this SE can do for me. However, as for today, some smart-ass discovered something funny that you will be stunned  -an SE surprise! Try typing 'Najib Buka Puasa' in Google (regardless of geo location), and walla, the...

TransMY In The Papers Again

TransMY was in the papers again after  a year long hiatus. Not only in the papers, but our boys are being featured in the videos as well, courtesy of Hoohaa.my. This time we were covered for attending last month's Malaysia International Toy Fair along with our fellow member's who runs a custom Transformers business booth - Wan de Real's Transworks. Both the video and the article about Malaysia International Toy Fair 2010 that was held last month in Mid-Valley, KL has been featured almost...

Concrete5 For Cool Corporatey Sites

There is much talk about Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal being the coolest and the most elite amongst all the CMS packages available in this world. However, I have just discovered not long ago and toyed around with this nifty CMS called 'Concrete5'. It has been around the block for sometime now since 2003 but the recent update in the software put CMS fans on high alert to possibly convert into Concrete5 users abandoning the already fashionable CMS scene. This is because the anticipated stable...

Pimping For “Tiger Beer Regional Online Influencer Challenge”

This is a pimping post for a fellow TransMYian, Wilson who called about us getting mutually pimped but with a condition I must be part of his influencing campaign. The campaign is about  "Tiger Beer Regional Online Influencer Challenge", a contest run by Tiger Beer for selected bloggers who participated in a capacity as an 'influencer'. I am not really sure how that works but it seems like participants who joined must form a fictitious football team as a proof that they have 'influenced'...

Real Estate Blog Shutdown

I have decided to shut down my real estate blog by not renewing the domain contract further because I have lost interest. This is the second blog shut down after losing my PR3 scouting blog few months ago due to the lack of professionalism shown by the UK domain registrar that I am with before. My other projects are taking my time and absorbing my energy away too much that I had occasional headaches. My IM blog is also being abandoned for sometime now as I was chasing up with my client's...

Sand In, Sand Away

A 6 wheel payloader was here today, pouring sand in front of our gate, and made a quick getaway. It was another minor makeover of our house. To be precise, the temporary kitchen floor. Mom & dad will bring in workmen doing cementing and floor levelling next week. It seems like the wheelbarrow will be put into full use again after some time of dormancy. Judging from the size of the payload, it was twice the size that we have used to level the compound behind the house. Upon completion...
