This is a sign. I must leave.
Had a good day today. Woke up after a satisfying test drive last night. I could fit into my old shirts now, which I bought 5 years ago. Although my current workplace is rather flexible (meaning, you can wear anything to come to office), I just thought to try out if I could still fit in. And I could! Awesome. My diet must have been working. Plus, since I’m on public transportation for the past 2 months, the extra walking is exercise. A few more kilos to shed off. I’ll be starting my gym training next month to strengthen my knees & leg muscles. One way to help reduce the pain in my knees is to strengthen the muscles around it. Not skate some more. If I could do this, I would only need a minor surgery. Oh well, this is the life of a rollerblader. Can’t win all the time.
And again, the same dream last night. Probably all I need to do is start packing.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Awesome trailer. The big bad robot with gigantic rims reminds me of Scorponok.
The Zuckman has spoken
Mark Zuckerberg personally explains why it has to be like that. Well Mark, I just didn’t like the “irrevocable” part.
Oh, you think it was because of you, innit?
I sometimes surprise, how childish I can be and also how childish other people can be too. Too bad, most of them hardly admits it. Now, since you people think that getting out from Facebook is bad for your social life, please, please use your academically trained brain to read their Terms of Service even before you sign up.But 95% of Internet user, NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE!
I left Facebook because of this & at the same time, I’m conducting an experiment/observation on Facebook and would like to see how much of my personal data is being retained after 3 months of hiatus. I thought you guys were supposed to be the degree holders, you’re supposed to be smarter than a regular self taught guy like me.
Well, I hardly read the TOS also, but at least, I read it paragraph by paragraph when I signed up with Facebook in 2005. The version back then was way different than now. I just didn’t noticed the “irrevocable” part this time. Scary shit.
Sheesh. I’m the one with ADHD. Are you like me too?
South East Asia OpenSocial contest
Here are the winners. And I’ve received 2nd place! That’s super awesome. I didn’t expect to win anything, but I won’t deny I kept my fingers crossed when I submitted my application just to add some luck. It’s an awesome feeling being able to win something cool. At times, I wish I can celebrate this.
Congratulations to Marvin Lee, which I think has made a cool application for the opinionated. Dude, I’d like to meet up with you someday.
Thanks Google & the S.E.A crew. You guys are super duper cool.
Bye bye Facebook. Good times…
Yup, I deactivated my Facebook account. Why? First and foremost, it has become an enormous amount of distraction to me. I’m getting hooked on it and I need to lay off a bit. There was not a moment at work (Yup, it’s getting that bad. My colleagues noticed this.) that I check on my Facebook account. The only way I could think of doing this is with drastic measures. And that is: by deactivating the account. I’ll probably start hearing echo of voices “why why why” in the air, it’s just getting a little bit too much to catch up with. Losing that amount of social connections from that network will be a regret, but my social connections has always been around reality & the world wide web.
I figured that I made a lot of connections by meeting people as much as I can, whether it be for good reasons or not. On the web, I make connections with knowledge & thought sharing. Twitter plays a major part in this. I do have my own personal website to post my thoughts. So, I guess, losing some connections for a while might be a good change. I know I’ll be back on Facebook, but when, I have no idea yet. So far, at this moment, it is clear to me.
It’s a good thing that Facebook retains my account to allow me to comeback, while they probably noticed the effect of Facebook Trauma & at the same time tells you, “Hey, you’ll be back. So, we’re gonna keep some of your stuff.”. Good tactic. Borderline bad for privacy. It depends on how Facebook upholds their own set of strict privacy rules while protecting our data.
For the love of…
God. Today is Valentines Day. Spread the love. Let me try to catch some of that.
Post 2008. What a year, innit?
I know i know. It’s already February and I still wanted to reminisce 2008. This post ain’t going to be that long anyway. Just some highlights of 2008 that I’d like to share & also remind myself with.
Socially opened
It’s been an awesome year 2008. It’s about establishing presence. I presented during BarCamp Malaysia, strutting my knowledge about the current music business trends on the web. Attended the first Google South East Asia DevFest & followed up with a OpenSocial hackathon at Google’s office in Singapore. I even entered the contest. That was fun! I finally experienced a true open source conference in Kuala Lumpur, brought to you by the awesome guys at FOSS.my. 2008 was a great year to network for us geeks.
When the pawn plays the knight
It doesn’t matter. After gruelling years & months worrying about my baby sister’s health, I have to admit, her condition affected me in so many ways. A lot. I blame myself for her condition as well, like the way she puts it in her own strong words when she confronted me. I’ve done my part to keep her alive when everyone else faltered. I guess that would be my payback for all the terrible things I’ve done to baby sis. I hope karma doesn’t kill me this time. I’m just glad & thankful to god that she is well, alive & still kicking it. That’s awesome.
Smells like nicotine
I started back smoking. It’s a bad thing, yea. After 3 years of not smoking, I saved up enough to treat myself for a punk rock roadtrip, a beach holiday and saved enough to send my Jade for her well deserved makeover. We will rip 2009 together Jade!
Dropped like a smelly durian
Durian stinks. So does bad news. I stepped down as One Buck Short’s manager & passed along all my duties to the band’s loyal drum tech. I stepped down as the official web guy for KJROLLERS.com. It’s about time. Things was getting abit too personal and I need to get a hold of myself. Can’t have history repeats itself.
Peace, love & harmony
Things were a bit harmonious in 2008. I mellowed down a lot on a lot of stuff I’ve never been mellow before. I think. I lost a friend in a car crash. That was also an eye opener to make me realise life is so fucking short. I have been in serious car accidents before, but losing IQ was the last straw. Life is too fucking short. Too short.
Although a great year, I still feel alone. Being a well known emotional bubble burst, I have less emotions lately. In fact, I don’t think I have any emotions left. This scares me. A lot. Fear is putting love in the back seat, tightly wrapped with a government issued rear seat belts. It would be nice to have someone to care for you & to watch out for you, but all I got now is just my family. I mean, how much can you tell your own family about yourself? I have deep dark secrets. Too dark. Friends? They have a life of their own. There’s no reason for me to intrude. New flings? Sadly none for 2008. I just don’t know what when wrong. I still hate attending weddings. I still love attending funerals.
I’m so afraid that I will lose my own humanity. Slowly. And it gets worse when everywhere I go, this question always pops back to my face, “When will you be getting married?“. Short answer: not anytime soon. Why? Silence fills that question. I guess, if it happens, happens. If it doesn’t, sigh. I just have to keep myself happy. No hope.
Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?
Work. Work. Work. We work to party. We party to live. True, my friend. I’m shutting down some personal businesses to make way for new ventures. I can’t be doing the same things for years & get nothing out of it. And I love my current job. Nuff said.
So, what do you plan for 2009?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing. No plans. Just do. I’ve sent Jade for her makeover and it’s taking 2 months to finish and having no car is a pain. No interesting projects yet, but soon to initiate on several that has been in the backburner. No love yet, but hope probably would make it come someday. Someday! Hah! I’m turning 29 soon. And being single for almost 7 years is not funny anymore. I’m still not a millionaire, but lucky for me, I’ve got some ropes to haul me over.
If you ask me, I have no idea what’s going to happen this year.
