I'm Hoping

The last shot. I'm definitely participating this again next time.

Q1: What do you think of 1Malaysia? Explain in details.

What is your vision of Malaysia in the next 5 years?

This is going to be really long if I describe in detail. Depends on my writing mood. If I feel like rajin, I'll write longer, if a bit lazy, I write shorter. Th concept of 1Malaysia is actually really-really old. Almost as old as the age of our country independence day. The name 1Malaysia, I personally think it's just a re-branding of the old version. That's all. With the addition of some project around the country with the concept 1Malaysia. I'm not saying it's bad. No. It's totally not. I mean look at yourself about 5 years before. The concept already exist. You do work with other races.We still go to school with different races together with no problem at all.

My vision of Malaysia in the next 5 years will not be so high if all of the political problem still not solved. Because these are the guys who will approve all the proposal for the project and all sorts of thing. But if these people can't get their mind right, how can they build their country right? I'm not saying that Malaysian leadership is weak or something. But there's still a lot room for improvement. We got to fill that room with positive thing than only we can talk about building our country. For now, the development rate of Malaysia seems to be okay.

I'm hoping the development or Malaysia will increase rapidly in the next 5 years.

I'm hoping the technology in Malaysia will be more up to date.

I'm hoping the citizen of Malaysia will achieve the 1st class minded category.

I'm hoping the political stability of Malaysia will be more stable.

I'm hoping there will be zero corruption in Malaysia.

I'm hoping the economic status of Malaysia will be a lot stable than what it is now.

I'm hoping the life of the citizen of Malaysian will be a lot better.

I'm hoping the education standard in Malaysia will get better and better in time.

I'm hoping the underdeveloped sectors in Malaysia will get to the competition with other sectors.

I'm hoping the peace in Malaysia will be maintain and can be followed by other country.

I know it's easier to say than to make it reality. But I believe, together, we can do it. And I'm hoping that I, myself can serve for my country.

Q2: What do you think about the various races in this country? Do you think about your race or country first? Why? Do you think there is a tension between the various races in this country or not?

The various races in this country is what really the personality on Malaysia. That is what Malaysia famous for. That's what I love about this country. Of course I think about the country first. That what makes us stays together. Tension between the races? No but for some cases I have to say yes. People with shallow thinking level used to think that once a person(different race) did something wrong, the whole race do it wrongly. This is very sad and very wrong way to think. We need to get rid of this kind of thinking. The answer for this question is education. Its not limited to school kids and teenagers only. The elderlies also can enter the specific school for them.

Q3: How do you think people from all over the world see Malaysia? Do you think there is a typical "Malaysian" stereotype? How would you want people to view "Malaysians" in the future?

There is a typical Malaysia stereotype. Some are positive and some are negative. Sadly, some of th negative one is from our own Malaysian. Believe me, I've seen on both on internet and on real life. I believe you have seen it too. Some of the positive one from all over the world is a peace multi-racial country which is developing very well, beautiful island. That's common. I want to reveal the negative one by our own Malaysian on YouTube. That guy said "I'm living in ******* Malaysia. Hard to fine and tech stuff like iPhone and iPad." I tracked his IP address and it ends up in KL. I'm surprise. He doesn't feel grateful at all for being able to live in this peaceful country. he should live in a war country. Then only he'll be grateful.

Government System Hacked By a Hacker?!

Hello and Howdy

System is down! 18,000 senior citizen's payout delayed due to the government's system had been hacked by A hacker! A hacker hacked into government's system and causes that to 18,000 people. Wow. I'm not gonna praised the hacker. But this incident tells us how vulnerable our government online system is. This is scary. Just like in the film Die Hard 4. Haha. Maybe I watch movies to much. And way, that's scary. Can you imagine if other country hacked into the system. They can know everything. Every single secret they might know if this happened again. Maybe just we are the one who doesn't realize it yet. I don't know. Don't ask me.

Anyway. This is the post for Day 9 which is Brands. Is branded products important to you? For me personally, I would say YES and NO. For expensive product and will be using it for a long time of course its important. For the normal daily things that we buy, not necessary. For instance, you want to buy a notebook. For sure you'll be choosing the famous computer brand like Apple, Acer, HP, Dell, Sony and IBM. But for other things like...erm... ketchup, sos, cat food, human food... something like that. That actually is up to personal taste. For example. Guy A like Kicap Manis, and guy B like Kicap Sedap. Guy A will probably say that Kicap Sedap is not really nice. But for Guy B, Kicap Sedap is the nicest ketchup in the world. Simple.

Hot tip: Don't buy the brand, buy the product.

Any brand that you think stand up for something? Yes. The brand that I like is Islam Is The Way Of Life. Everything I do daily just feels perfect with Islam in my heart. That's the way of life that I recommend for everyone in the world.

List down my favorite brand.

Apple, Acer,Dell, Sony, Samsung, Asus, Canon, Pier Cardin, Adidas, Wilson, Air Asia, Kia

That's all that I can think of for now.

To be honest, there are no brand or products that will make me embarrassed when using it.

Religion influence my choice of brand?

Haha. Let me guess. This must be something about the boikot thing right? Haha.Of course it influence me. But not for everything. For wine of course laa. Muslim can't drink that. And other things too. But not too much. Run out of good quality product and finally forced to buy it because what my money worth every sen.

Where do I find the information about the products?

Online of course. This first place I'll go is to their official website. That's always the best place to find the information on the product.

Plane Crash!

Hello and Howdy

Need to catch up fast! Don't really have much time now. Tonight, I'm going to KL to fetch my sister. By the way, if you guys are following me from the beginning, you might know that I'm very passionate about Aviation. Recently, I saw a program on Discovery channel. Forgot what's the name of that program. This program shows the viewer about the aviation now and future. I'm quite shock when they said about the price about the price of a personal plane. It is expensive. But not as expensive as I tough. If I really save my money for the next 10-20 years, I can have one of that too. Haha. Never mind. It's a very long way to go. But that's my fream. To have my own personal plane. What kind? I'll decide later.

Second of all, have you heard about the emergency landing made by cadet pilot in Terengganu's sea side. Scary. I wonder how they managed not to make any severe damage to the aircraft since they were landing on the sand. Have you walk on the sand before? Notice the effect of the sand swallowing you feet? That happened on an average 50kg man. What about the weight of an airplane? We all know that when it is travelling at high speed, it will not be swallowed by the sand. Same with water. This principle also can be seen on the surfboard . When the surfboard reaches the 'stall' speed, it will sunk. But will the airplane tire sunk in to the sand? I mean not completely. By mostly. This can cause the plane to tilt forward making it possible to be in an up-side-down position. These pilot must be very good pilot. I salute for them. Congratulation captain. I really hope that it wont be happening to me sooner or later.

Anyway, I want to recommend you to go and check out this cool guy channel. His name is Joe Penna and his YouTube channel is MysteryGuitarMan. He's a Mexican which stays at US for living. He's very good at making videos. Most of us called him the master of motion graphic. The latest video he made was for the TV commercial. It is for McD. I'm pretty sure he got a lot of money from that. Go and subscribe to him.

Must see, must do and must have list for 2010. This list is gonna be long. I'll try to make it short, I got to focus on my study anyway.

Must see list: 1) Air Show

2) Tech Conference/Forum

3) Creative Mind Gathering

Must do list: 1) Start my online business

2) Be fine at college

3) Gain some weight, haha. I'm too thin.

Must have list: 1) Awesome laptop

2) Canon DSLR

As I told you before in the previous post, I'm a know-nothing guy in fashion but I still like the casual style. It really fits me.

It's a War Up There!

Hello and Howdy

I'm catching up! Yeah! Using my V12 Turbo Charged engine. Haha. Nah... I don't have that thing in my house. I don't think Malaysia have that kind of car. Anyway, what I mean by I'm catching up is that today is suppose to be the post for Day 8 but I'm only doing post at Day 7. My engine is a bit slow. It's 10.30 pm now. Pretty early for me. I'm used to sleep at 3.00 am. Yesterday night at the same time as today, I was outside of my house. Watching the beautiful night scenery, Gunung Jerai. You can see the peak of Gunung Jerai just by standing in front of my house. But I noticed something different yesterday night. There are something glowing on th north side of the mountain. I told my mu about that. She said that military is doing some kind of practice there according to Malaysia Hari Ini (MHI). Cool! I waited and hoping it's gonna have some explosion happening but no. Not at all. But there's tons of helicopters and planes flying around at low altitude. Cool! I can't recognize is it a fighter jet or what but surely I'm telling you, many blinking light of aircraft and hellos. Flying around. But during the day light, nothing. Just a few hellos just like usual and an AirAsia flew very low. I guess it was 2000 feet. I love airplanes.

Enough about that for now. Let's head straight for today's topic. Entertainment. TV, games, movies, music, internet, magazine, karaoke, and fashion. These are the little and big branches in entertainment industry. It's really big and lots of potential. People also investing a lot of money in this industry and their reward is tremendously huge. But, recently, something quite disturbing is happening for those guys who's in the television industry. With all the technology around us, the higher internet speed and the evolution of the world wide web might wipe off the tv industry. Users are more into internet compare to tv. It is because the way of user can interactively with the internet is just better than TV. On internet, viewers can watch what ever they want anytime anywhere as long as you have internet connection. They don't have to rearrange their daily schedule just to watch a show on internet. Just like the concept of Google TV. I really hope that Google TV will be in Malaysia.

Now, my favorite tv show are Mythbuster (Discovery channel), Tp Gear (YouTube), LinusTech (TouTube), House (AXN), Leverage (AXN). I guess that's all. Mostly, I can watch it online. Even Mythbuster. But not House and Leverage. On Ustream.tv, I like to watch the Chris Pirillo Tech show. NASA tv is also on UStream!

Like musics and fashion? Oh yeah. I like music. But fashion, not so much. I'm just a casual styled guy. Don't know much about fashion. I got to know the new trends in music from radio and Youtube. Sometimes, I go to Last FM too. Nice place for discovering music. Fashion update, just using my eye. Observing people around me. Haha

Singers and band. I have to go with Maroon 5, Michael Bubble and Norah Jones. These are my all time favorites. Why Maroon 5? Major reason, the voice of Adam Levine is so unique. Hard to find singer with such unique voice. I like it. And James Velentine, the awesome guitarist. He played guitar for Norah Jones once. My Favorites songs from them is Makes Me Wonder, Sunday Morning and She Will Be Love. Second of all, Michael Bubble. He's also a fan of Maroon 5. He even sang a Maroon 5's song at his concert. Amazing. He's a phenomenal Jazz singer. My favorites songs from him is Sway and Haven't Met You Yet. And the last of all, Norah Jones. Like her songs and her voice. Slow jazzy style, so exclusive. She's my mum's favorite too. Mostly I just download songs from internet. But for the singer the I like much, I bought the original CD.

Book? Yeah. I like it so much. Last three books that I read was The Secret, Journey To Space and Being an Aviator.

Where you ind these updates? Mainly internet. Always my main source for everything.

Controversy

Man, I really do have to catch up with you guys. It suppose to be Day 8 topic. But now, I'm only doing the Day 6 topic. That's a lot of writing T have to do. I just only post that Day 5 topic even though I've finished writing it yesterday morning. Don't know why. Hope I can cover 2 or 3 topic for today. Don't be like me guys. Suka tangguh kerja. End up, major decrease in quality and productivity. Anyway, today kinda free day for me. But have to get up early in the morning. Need to send my brother to school because my daddy is outstation. Evening, fetch my brother from school and no, sitting on my desk writing this. Don't bother about what did I do in between morning and evening. Not so important though. Haha

Okay. Social networking. Very big topic indeed. I sounds like online toy for most teenagers nowadays. But it's not. Even Suhaimi Sulaiman, Azli Paat and Reza Razali from Astro Awani also had a discussion about this. This is because the rate of expansion of social networking phenomena is so massive in a very short period of time. And A lot of people are making a lot of money from all these social networking site. But in this post, we are not going to discuss all those major "issue" about the social networking site. I just want to talk about the "issue" listed on the document which is sent to me by YouthSays.

Even though social networking is so sommon these days, there are still some people that doesn't understand what the word 'social networking' really means. If you are one of them, click play on the video below to know what is the word 'social networking' really means.



Like most of us already know, there are thousands or maybe millions of social networking sites that exist now. The famous one are Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Friendster, Blogger and Wordpress. YouthSays are one of them too actually. Me, my self personally use Facebook, Twitter and Blogger. But currently, there are a lot of bad news about Facebook nowadays. And from my point of view, Malaysian doesn't really quite aware of this. The first controversy caused by Facebook was about the privacy setting. I personally think that it isn't a problem at all. Just little small changes that was already exist for long time that people just only notice. But unfortunately, others really think this is a big problem. So, some of the start to quite Facebook.



But just 2 days ago, one more controversy involving Facebook Privacy issue raised. It's about selling identity. Earlier, Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, said that they are going to sell identity to company. May be for spamming. I don't know. But whatever it is for, I don't like it. You can't just sell people's identity to other company. For some reason, it is dangerous even though we are just nobody. I really hope that Facebook's CEO apologize to the world big time and cancel his plan.


Anyway, the medium of communication that I prefer is SMS, IM, cellphone, Facebook (sort of). Of course using cellphone consume money but my family use the 5+1 Celcom Family Pack. So, it's free to call my family! I love free things! IM s fine but not all the time because of the mobility and internet connection issue.

Social networking sites making my life better or worse? I wound say both better and worse. The worse part comes when I'm too busy with all these kind of thing. The better parts comes when these social networking sites makes me easier to learn something, widen my business wing, lot of possibilities unlocked and more interactive way of communicating with people all around the world.

List the number of online social networking sites that you join. Why? What activities you usually do on them? I was on Friendster but not now. I'm in Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, YouTube (since it integrate the social networking capabilities) and loads of forums. When in Facebook, I usually checks for friends updates (most of my friends call it stalks/stalker). In Twitter... erm... I don't know. I sign up for it because I was just curious. Hardly use it. Blogger to blog. I love to blog but sometimes, just don't have time for it. YouTube, I join it because I watched a lot of videos on it. YouTube also a site full of opportunities for people like me (video special effect and graphic designer).

On Facebook, I have almost 600 friends. But close friends, I think around 100 only. And on Twitter, 100, and close friends, 2. Haha. Many of them I've met before. Even not so close friends on Facebook and Twitter.

I Prefer to meet people for the first time face-to-face. Ya laa. I can observe their behavior, body language. More confident if met face-to-face. Especially when doing business. But I still have online business and met people online.

Yes. I do have Twitter. I don't really know much about my own Twitter account details. I don't really understand the concept of Twitter. Update your status using not mote than 150 characters? Whay is that? Can anybody tell me?

The Matrix

Hello and Howdy

Today is an exciting day for me. Even though my graphic card is gone, I managed to do a few design and a few photomanipulation technique on several pictures that was captured years ago. It's a really slowww process without my graphic card, but I've done it. Now, waiting for my sister to come back ans ask her to buy a new one for me. Haha. Hopefully she will.



Anyway, lets get straight to the topic. For today's topic is Going Online. Yeah, interesting huh. Usually, my life start with me checking email. I got hundreds of email a day. So, to optimized my day, I only check the email which is important only. If I have something to do that day, I'll straight away close the email and go do what ever I have to do. If don't, I just messing around with my computer, design, or try to finish the unfinished project. I'm not a really big fan of Facebook. I normally just open Facebook twice a week. Unless something happened in Facebook or some opportunity rises. I like to do research or homework online. The main search engine that I'll use is of course Google and the other one is YouTube. For graphic design, I'll find the idea by going through all the artwork on DeviantArt.com. You should check it out sometimes. It is really nice especially if you are a graphic designer. Totally, I'll spend my time online or messing with computer stuff about 5-8 hours a day.

Of course we interact with people when we are online right. Unless you are a silent visitor who often follow others blog and not leaving any comment or rate it. For me, that kind of interaction is really important. It actually keeps the owner of the website filled with adrenaline to do the best on what he does best. It really is. I know laa, I used to have multiple website in a single time. For some people, they might say that it might be cool to use a nickname instead of real name to interact with people online. Yeah, it is. But for some reason, I'll use my own name for serious stuff like this one or any other serious project. For the fun2 part, I don;t really use my really name. Instead, I used WinGeek as my nickname in a chat room or something. And for some security reason, I don't use the P2P software for chatting or anything else. It will expose my computer to the public and I don't like it.

Anyone you met online become your good friend? Yeah, not all laa but some do. So of them are pretty famous in the online world like Andrew Kramer from VideoCopilot.net, FrediDew from YouTube, Chris from Geek.com. One German guy I met at Vimeo.com turn up to be my very good friend. We work together on a project for International Film Festival 2009. He did the audio and 3D part and I did the Special Effect and Design. The pitch actually come from him. He write everything and I helped him to make it reality. Its not easy to find people that you can truly trust online though. You must be very2 careful for that.

My parents monitor my access to the online world? Of course, they even know my email password. Sound awful to some of you right? Actually it's really not. It even makes my life easier. Especially when I'm traveling. You know what it's like to travel in Malaysia. It's very hard to find as internet connection. So, I just call my mother and ask her to check mu email. Last time, when I was in Kuala Terengganu, my plan was to go back to Sungai Petani. But when I called my mother, she told me that I have a call back in KL in a few days of time. So, canceled my plan to Sungai Petani, and straight to to KL. That saved me a couple of hundred ringgit. BTW, I still have the second email the my parents don't know. Haha.

Online world has made you disconnected from your real world friends? Not at all. Almost all my real world friends are also my online friends. They are all over the place. Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger. So, its not really a problem. We often go out together though, at least once a week. It truly not a problem. In some cases, the online world makes my life easier.

Major lost for me

Hello and Howdy,

Just got back from Alor Setar for some reason. When I'm home, just like usual, fire up my computer and I notice something weired was displaying on my screen. Lots of random pixelated RGB colours. This can't be good. I knew this day gonna come but not this fast. ARGHH! What causes this to happened was actually my graphic card. I'm using the NVidia 8600GT 512mb DDR2 card. This card used to be the top in its class when the time I bought it back in 2008. Now, to solve that pixelated problem temporary, I'm using the GPU that is built inside the mother board. Its like 1000 times slower than my previous graphic card. Need to reduce a lot of gaming now. Need money to buy new graphic card. Anyone want to sponsor me? Hehe... I'm a graphic designer you know. So, graphic card is very important to me.

Hrmm... Talking about money, this post also about money. It's Work and Money, as I expected. So, lets get to the question.

Q1: How important is money to you? Tell us what do you think about money

You know, I used to have some wild thoughts about money. It was why not makes everything free? Sounds ridiculous and yet interesting huh? I'm not an expert in economics. So don't take it so serious about this. When everything is free, it is actually easier to focus more on development and innovation a.k.a R&D (Research & Development). It's actually from my own experience. From my point of view, I see the biggest sat back for most of the Youth(group of people which full of ideas) to create something creative, innovative and authentic is money. It would be great if this actually happened even though it is not logical in this millennium. I'm very lucky to have a very supportive parents. They know that I like to experiment to experiments with thing especially computers. Since I was 10, I broke 2 desktop pc and 1 laptop because of my experiments thing. And look at me now. Bukan nak belagak. Just want to give example. Now I can built my own computer and laptops, repair, and hacked it. Experience is the best teacher. It sounds so out of topic but it closely related when you think about it.

Q2: Where do you get your money? Do you have part-time job or receive allowance from parents?Have done any part-time job before?

Well, its up to you weather you want to say it work or something. But for me, I do it for fun and passion. And yet, still got money from it. Haha. I'm a graphic designer and a computer man. People contact me to fix their computer and do some of the design. I don't call it work because work is working in a specific time and day and fixed pay. I don't. Its according to my client and the stuff I need to do. I do get allowance from my parents but not fixed as I assumed most people do. My parents said, mintak je bila perlu. Ok, heres where my business actually starts. One day, I was hanging out with my friends. It was after SPM. Then, we all come up with an idea to publish a Yearbook and organised a "Prom night" after the SPM. Thats gonna be awesome. 2 days after SPM finished, we start planning. This is where all problems raised. We realized that is is gonna need at least 20k. That a big money. When dealing with big money, comes big responsibilities. That what worries me. But our motivation is high and we tend to make it a reality. We work on design on the yearbook, start raising fund and search for sponsors and selling advertisement spaces. Show the sponsors the design of the Yearbook and they were impressed. They take my number and everything goes well except for some other thing. When the project is declared success, most of the sponsors starts to call me back and asking me to do design for them. This is great. It continues until now.

Q3: if you want to buy something, do you usually saved up will you get it straightaway?

Of course I will saved up. I don't like to hutang2 orang. It gives me some additional advantage too actually. I will have time to do more homework on thing that I want to buy. You know, the pro and cons of the product. Especially the expensive one. and the one I'm buying for a long term usage. But if just want to buy a bar of choco, just go and buy it laa...

Q4: How important to your generation is having a strong work ethic and be hardworking in work?

Personally I thinks it's really important because of the massive competition nowadays. Without ethics and hardworking 'ness', it's hard to achieve what you want. Unless you aim just 1 feet above the ground. For those who aim for the skies or even the space, these 2 skills is really important. But sadly, some cases, it depends on WHO YOU KNOW. Not WHAT YOU KNOW. Someone gotta do something with this matter.

Q5: What do you think about current economic climate? Does it affect you family?

To be honest yes it does. My father works with Petronas. Oil and gas industry is one of the most affected industry due to the economic climate. But doesn't affect us badly. Just ok2 je laa...

Q6: Coolest job in the world? Least coolest job in the world?

No 1 I would say PILOT. That what I'm gonna be. Of course its cool. In fact, its very cool. Getting pay from what you love to do most is cool. And free holiday ticket for family!

No 2 Animator. Dealing with the hi-tech stuff is a great way to live. Especially when involving your imagination. Need to work beyond everybody's imagination is great and yet very challenging.

No 3 Business. Easy money if you do it right.

The least coolest job?

I dont thinks have one. Depends on you. You passion. For instance like me. I love aviation. but i but I work as an engineer. That would be sucks to me because my passion is aviation. And vise versa. Hope You understand this. Up to you. Don't listen to people about this. Just do whatever your passion is.

The Small Things Makes Up The Big Thing

This time, I'm not going through the question one-by-one. I just wanna just make it 'rojak' this time. "Ala nak rojak pun time topic senang". Yeah, I know. But it actually turns out that easy topic that can turn out to be big. If you give this topic to a group of debaters in my former school, they can continue talks about it for days to come. Because this topic is so general. When you zoom in to this topic, you'll see thousand more topic, maybe millions more that makes up to build this topic. Just like the cell. When a group of cell sticks together, they formed tissue. And so on... Just like this topic.

When people asked you the definition of success, you answered it different from the definition in the dictionary and they said that you are wrong, they are the one actually on the wrong side. The definition of success is actually depends on personal choice I should say. Depends on what the person looks up to. If Mr. A is looking up to someone which is very successful in the 'robbing industry', he will say that being robber that never caught by police is a success for him. If Mr. M is very passionate in the Aviation industry, being a Commercial Pilot or a Fighter Pilot is really a successful person for him. So, I can't really tell you the definition of Success. Make up your mind.

A bunch of way that can lead you to the word Success. It depends on what's your mission. Everybody got to have mission in their life. Factors that can lead you to success also have a lot. But for me, I personally think the character and consistency plays big role in finding the route to success. Character come is when dealing with people, making promises, finishing project on time or as simple as discipline. The consistency part comes in when you are dealing with a long term project. For instance, you are building your own company, you can't expect you company will be well established in a few weeks of time. That will makes your body work hard in a short time of period and not getting anything yet. When this happen, you'll start to lose your spirit to continue to build the company. You must work slowly(actually depends on what you are planning) but consistently.

My father always told me "Never take small thing lightly because that small thing can be your next big thing, and may be your biggest problem".It is proven very-very true. Back in January 2010, I was doing a project on publishing books. I have to work on design, printing, content, and the most important, funding. I search every big company that wanted to sponsor or buy the ads on the book as much as I can. They make promises. But when I called them, never answered the phone. Then, the funding becomes a problem. Even though I memang tak puas hati dengan all those big company, I try to reach the again and again because their ads are already on the book but they didn't pay me yet. So, I do what ever I got to do. Tapi tak la smpai mengadu kat Aduan Rakyat about this simple thing. We try to solve this professionally. Go to their offices, talk to the CEO straight and say "Is this how you guys do work? Seriously, how you all come this far with these kind of attitude?" As I said before, character is important. Don't take things for granted. Then, I got my money. It turns out that the little2 company is threatening that big company to leave them if they did what they did again. Problem solved.

Even doing this blog need consistence to publish 1 topic a day.

This Time Is About....

Yeah... I know I've been away for a while now. I'm really sorry for that. I was busy preparing for my studies. If you're 18, you know how. Need to post that and this, sign that and this, this bank, that bank. Haiyo... so many things to do...

Anyway, for this post, the question is asking about my family. I won't tell everything about my family. Some privacy need to be keep in the house. Just like the Facebook privacy issue. You'll need to be careful about that nowadays. Read this, the Facebook Privacy Policy. Tips on the Facebook Security setting is here. Better read it if you want to be safe on the Internet.

Family Structure & Time With Family

Basically my family consist of 5 members including my parents. My dad works with Petronas, my mom is a housewife, my sister studying in University of Nottingham, me writing this blog, and my little brother, taking UPSR this year. I have the most AWESOME FAMILY IN THE WORLD!

I spend basically 24 hours with my family. Hehe. That's because I'm still at home and my college registration is still long time to come. At first, I thought it would be boring, but it turn out to be nice. having someone very close to you to talk with everyday. The best time is at night of course, especially after dinner. That time, we all talk and talk and talk (we really like to talk), sometimes watch movies on Astro, DVD. I Love the moment.

Best Friends & Activities

I have a lot of best friends actually. I'm sure everyone also like this, right? I don't know who is the best because they all are the best in thier own way. That what I like about my friends. Unique personalities. If I had a problem, I can talk to any of my best friends that I like. Just check out my Facebook Page to know more about my friends and me. Or you can check out my personal blog. They also in there. I bring my friends everywhere... online laa....

When I'm out with them, a lot of things we do. Like we go to the library..... haha... just kidding. We go to movies, water theme park, karaoke(only once), gym, tennis, golf, arcade games, eat, thinking of some projects, pusing2 malaysia. That's what we do.

Describe yourself when meeting new people

I am a 18 year old boy from Sungai Petani Kedah. A rather quiet but observant teen and has a big vision to be a public figure in the future.

Identity is important?

Of course its important. Identity is what personality is. A personality heavily affected one's life and the others surrounding that person.

"And I have the support of the writers: I have a great relationship with the creative team, and they have a good hold of my character and my personality, and they come up with some great stuff, and I'm forever trying to change it up, keep it fresh. " - Trish Stratus

If you true understand the quotes that I put above, you'll understand. It is also to keep it unique to create something new and not just repeating what others have done before. Or what your friend is doing.

Does religion affect your choice of friends? Explain your answer

Of course. Don't tell me that you be friends with anybody approaches you. You got to choose based on what your religion teaches you man. For me, Islam the way of life. I mean that's the BEST way of life. You can be friends with a drug dealer but you must know what is the best way to be friends with them. You must know how to soften their hearts using the right way.

Always remember the way of you making friends and treat friends is important.

Our category?

On this, I would say we consist of all of them. I'm a geek, some of them are a Freak, some of them Skater, some Emo, but most of us, GEEK.

Three most popular groups?

I don't really that we have one because we are just normal kids that not really into those groups. We are just CASUAL.

Anyway, I would like you all to do me a favour. Go to your iTunes, click on your Play Count and tell me what's the most played song on your computer and how many time it had been played. Leave it in the comment belowww...

So, this what blogging is...

Youth and Me

Hello an Howdy. Dozens of question arrived today for the next few days in my Inbox. And I will answer it all. You know what it feels like. Like someone is doing interview with you. That facts is not. I'm am doing this all by my self alone on the desk on my free time with a thing called laptop. Anyway, lets get straightaway to the question.

What do I thinks about being Youth today?

Being raised in the modern, wealthy, not very healthy environment gives me a lot of though about being a Youth today. Modern invention makes me feels the world is a smaller place than it looks on the map. You know, big airplanes, Internet connections, On-line Banking. Easy/Able to do anything within my own house. Wealth gives me advantage on doing/learning what I'm passionate with. Not very healthy environment causes me suffer from Asthma when I was a kid. And now, my little brother suffer from it too.

In some kind of ways, we are very lucky and in some kind of other way, we are not so lucky. Its fine though. That's what give the different 'personality' from one generation to another.

The Future?

In terms of future, I personally think that it is not right to ask weather I think the future is bright or something to worry about. It actually depends on what we all do. To be exact, it depends on what the Youth do today, how hard they work, how they manage something, how they think about something. With all the gejala buang bayi, mat rempit, prostitution, and drugs, I would say the future is something to worry about. I know not all of the youth are bad but just look at the news. There are more bad news about youth the the good news. And sometime, no good news at all.

Youth Are Rebellious in Nature?

Are you sure? I don't think so. At something that they think is wrong, maybe. But rebellious in nature? Not really. From my experience, they are just following what youth from previous generation did like breaking the law. I always get it from my fiends, they said to me “ Tak remeja arr kalau tak buat benda ni”. That sentence actually encourage them to do more rebellious thing. They won't be a 'cool' person if they didn't do it.

But some of them, like I said earlier, being rebellious because they think they are on the right side. People should listen to these kind of people and maybe consider some of them. You know what I mean.

Easier or Harder Life Than Our Parents' Generation?

I got to say in someway it's a lot easier and someway it's harder. By easier what I mean is with the Technology that we have today helped us a lot in our daily day such as computer with Internet connections, made us easy to find any information that we want. Cars and public transportation helped us to go to one place to another.

What I mean by harder is the competition. Youth today need to work much-much harder in order to achieve their dreams. The competition is so tense nowadays. Even the straight A students also have to struggle.

What Is Your Biggest Fear In the World... Other than Death?

Erm... Honestly I say, I'm afraid if I didn't achieve my dream which is to be a Pilot. I don't know why. It's just my passion. I know I'm good at it because I am born to be one. You know, its hard to explain your passion in words.

What makes you happy?

Seriously? Want me to list it all? I bet it won't end. But I can assure you that the thing that makes me happy the most is of course makes my parent happy. Nothing can compare to that. Priceless. And the other thing, obviously being a Pilot! That's my life time dream! Unfortunately nobody can help me about that. I have to work on my self. You know the price...

What has been the most difficult hurdle you have overcome so far in your life? What did this experience teach you?

Erm... I'm not so sure about this. I probably won't tell you but I got to say, DON'T EVER TAKES SMALL THINGS LIGHTLY. Those small things can be the next big thing in your life. Takes every single thing in your life seriously. That's all.

Family or Friends? Why? Any Experience?

Wow. Never thought this kind of question will come. Can I choose both? Anybody going to say No? If you do, re-think about it. I'm the one who is writing here, I'm the one who control my life. Who are you to control mine? Hehe... Back to the question. I choose both. Without family, there is no Me. Without friends, there is.... erm.... Fill in the blanks_______. Did I have any experience choosing between these two? Yes. Which one did you choose? Both. Let me explain. That time I was involved in a trouble which I can't solved it by myself. Then, to solve it, I request help from my friends, and I request opinion from my family. Problem Solved.
