What are you doing recently?

I was back down to silent mode for the past 2 months or so. Those are the most hectic months as well as pressure month. Well, nothing personal (Amen for that), everything has to do with another thing, that’s the headache.

The good thing is that I manage to get everything back right on track again, in fact, I am overriding whatever I have right now to get to another goal for the year.

Last year, on the year end, I am still an employee myself. So in order to get some funding of life, I almost tied my head with my monitor – Rushing for deadlines. However, some projects on hand has taken off right after new year :)

Mobile phones

I upgraded a Samsung, now I’m on Instagram and all those social media and all the shits :) iPhone 4 was a gift for my wife as well as an office devices. It is time for me to really have one that can test, instead of spending time at the Apple store testing my… Products.

House

Moved to my first house. I spend almost 1 months just to repair and fix all the broken stuff. From toilet bowl to tidying tiles. This is one of the bad idea buying a second hand house. But well, I do learn a lot more than I can if I’m in a newly developed house or renting another house, in fact, now I know every little details about this house now, haha…

I think it is about time for something else, but I will keep that aside and finished up all the other projects I left off. December will be another off-month for me :P

The beat I’m in love with recently, nothing fancy, no Tascam at guitar center or fancy rap, just a song, about ribbon…

So you really want to be a boss?

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:

Success

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.

All of us are from hell

This is probably the first time I felt so right to quit a project. Although I must say, I did it a little late. We have discussed over this and felt that this client has some red flag. Well, we like giving chance, and this time, only one.

Contract

As a business operator in Malaysia, I too would like to meet some new business person locally, that’s why I choose to move to Klang Valley after a year of consideration. However, the perfect dream doesn’t always comes together, it’s like wearing down parkas for winter to feel warm myself.

Well, we get lots of news about how fresh graduate demand a lot and whatnot. However, we missed the part where the employer looking for more in a fresh graduate. Check what their requirement for a web designer and you’ll be surprise actually web designer, is basically everything IT. The same problems lies in clients and service providers too.

Service provider provided an Internet connection, slow but stable. We client, demand a fast and stable connection. Service provider tried to be fair on bandwidth usage, we client, complaint about downloading.

The same thing with business owner, like myself perhaps…?

Ouch again

Because Malaysian mah, you know lah…

One phrase I hate the most, and happen to be the most talked by Malaysian themselves – Because this is Malaysia mah, we Malaysian you know lah…

Headache

I… Seriously don’t know. Just a few points here…

Malaysia is a multi-racial, multi-religious country. I believe not everyone think and act like you. You don’t need to bring the whole Malaysia and Malaysian with you.

If others are able to communicate via just email for one project, and you can’t, because you don’t have confident with it, or you scare, or you don’t like or whatever situation you have in mind that bounce away from the idea of having to communicate via email ONLY, then admit it. You don’t need to bring the whole Malaysia and Malaysian with you.

Throwing trash outside a vehicle while in highway, is a big no-no. Spitting beside the walkway is a big no-no too. If you know that, but you felt that is wasting your time, or making your vehicle dirty, or you just don’t care, admit it. You don’t need to bring the whole Malaysia and Malaysian with you.

I believe everyone knows what is morally right and wrong, and why they are right or wrong. But taking the blame for being a Malaysian in Malaysia to justify your action is just wrong in so many ways. Suck it up and be the real Malaysian with a thinking together with an act!
