We all know about freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom of whatever you can name it. I’m not too sure if we have freedom to influence? Which I see a lot of people are doing it, without knowing.

For instance, when one guy said the chick is hot, and another says she isn’t. They probably agree with each other, but the conversation doesn’t stop there. One or another will start telling another that how and why the chick is not hot. From then on, one is actually trying to influence another to take on his belief. Is that legal?

When I said to my friend that I’m don’t like to have a video wall after the second thought, they tried to tell me almost 100 reasons why it is good and how it will suit my house and all that. I didn’t move by the speech though, my light bulb just lighted up for this. I’m not sure if we should or can do this or not…

If there is one thing I like to do the most, that is watching people work. I learn all my cooking skill from observing my mother cooking when I was a kid. Second thing I like to do the most, spending time at home wandering around! Since I got married, so the second thing become spending time with my wife. So now, I get to put both in use!

When I first moved into the new house, my parents came here for a visit at the same time, they send a house-warming gift – Oven. Just as my wife and I were crazy about having one last year.

The easiest recipe of baking is cookie. As a newbie in baking, both of us agreed to bake some cookie as an opening for the oven (which has been sitting around for 2 months).

We totally don’t know how to do it. Although my mother was once a baker, but it was happen when I was in the rebellious years, so I did not learn much about baking from her on that period, it was all empty period.

The funny thing was that both of us were so excited that we sit in front of the oven and watch the cookie “grow”.

There goes my replacement of Tiger biscuit / Chipsmore biscuit The taste is not there yet though, hope to get some more cookie baked next Tuesday, together with a pizza

Finally the decision is final now. I have been in the dilemma of getting which one for a project. All I need to do is to make sure the e-commerce plugin works well with the WordPress theme.

Initially I thought to give Jigoshop a chance, so I headed in and work around the clock to make sure everything is right and in place. Majority of my clients seems to work just fine with my WordPress theme and Jigoshop plugin, in fact I even support them how to add variation in Jigoshop and etc. As a person who likes to explore this and that, I didn’t really went into Jigoshop forum nor the knowledgebase, as everything was just as any other plugins.

The problems came recently, which after some discussion with my partner about it, we decided to start working with WooCommerce instead. Here are some reasons:

Support

Jigoshop doesn’t give a good support. I’m not saying the tip-top hacks or anything, just a support to make sure their plugin works well in WordPress. What I got ended up was a finger pointing at the theme. Not only that, after second questioning, the error become another error. It seems that the support aren’t there to check thoroughly what actually happen, but simply shoot an issue. I do believe that support need to be paid, but if you are to giving free with support, then make sure the plugin really works and make sure what plugin may crashes with it.

Updates

Just recently I notice that Jigoshop has been keep updating. I don’t condone update though, in fact I like update, it means that the plugin team is working on some issue or just compatibility. However, when the update made by a team, why is so many mistake making along the way?

I am disappointed with Jigoshop, especially with the support team. Nothing has been done to help the users, I was the one sitting here checking through and through to help their users. It is just not fair working this way just so they can sell their premium support.

Well, when your age is stepping up near 30, you’ll start thinking about the future, especially if you’re already married.

That is what happen to most of my friends. I just got another phone call about an idea and collaboration. Funny how people tend to just start thinking about getting online for some business, see how far Lelong has taken.

I tried to support if I can, so my friends can be a boss. Most failed though, let’s just see how and why they failed.

Boss = Free time. That is the mentality of people nowadays. People tend to think that a boss, should and will be free. Everything will be settled by their employee, or friend. Well, worst yet, Boss = Money + Mouth + Network. Yes, no experiences needed, but I wonder why don’t they just get into some MLM or insurance with that in mind, isn’t it the requirement of those line? Really, this chart can clearly show what they really think about:

Big money come big money, small money come small money. RM1k business is nothing, afterall no business return more than 100% soon. So they wanted to look at the RM100k (At the minimum) to start off. See how people like funding and government and etc etc that giving money for SME? That’s right, if you start small, you are smart potato, and earn a potato. See how some friend see me like a boss who barely afford food and won’t get into hunger, that is just how low I started off

I see that people like to retire earlier… When you are a kid, you wanted to be grown up; when you grown up, you actually wanted to get old.
