You will always remember the “imperfection” of the other person, that made her/him perfect for you…
Beautiful imperfection

When moments in time passes by without…
… you realizing that all of that would be forgotten & shaped us to what we are now. History is what made us all, but hardly any choose to admit a fact so simple, yet difficult to comprehend.
Second best is not an option…

Here’s another thing hacked during the OpenSocial hackathon…
The masterpiece

Hacking the board
Just got back from a nice dinner with the people from BarCamp Bangkok, Cambodia and also Gen from Mozilla.
Thanks to Carolyn for taking this photo! Source
It’s an awesome experience hanging out & sharing stories with them, eating spicy crabs & drinking brews at Jalan Alor.
A later post about what happened at BarCamp KL.
#barcampkl was like…
Going back to high school. I come from a coed school, so walking along the hallway today at BarCamp was like going wayyy back when there was no facial hair growing rapidly on my face. You’ll see these people, walking & talking about something, moving from class to class, shouting in the hallways, making sudden appearances & disappearances into the classrooms, making fun of people, jokes flying around, gossips, pushing & stacking the class tables to the corners of the room so that everyone can start dancing in the middle of the class… man… those were the days…
My wedding card. Yup, I’m walking that road.
LOL. Sorry. It’s funny to me. Hehehe…
First & foremost, I want to apologise to my buddy Sukeats, for laughing at your reply email which you actually included your house address. That was the killer! I fell from my chair at work when I read your reply. LOL.
This is a mean, mean, not cool April fools prank, but I was out of ideas. In fact, I almost forgot it was Prank Day day. My colleague told me about his prank few years back. So, just to prove a point (which is: please stop asking me about when it’s my turn. it’s annoying), I just say why not just tell everyone I was getting married. I mean, seriously, and this is to my lifelong buddies (you know who you are), if I was really getting married, you know I will surprise all of you, but it will be personal occasion for me. I mean, it’s one of those BIG decisions of my life, hell no I’m going to let you all know about via email?!?!? I know where you live (my buddies), so there’s no excuse for me. You know how touchy and jiwang I can get about these stuff…
But still… there was a house address. LOL.
And to my new buddies, well, if this was true, you will be surprised by me. Again. This time with a card. Haha. The truth is, I was bored. Just needed to pull a silly prank. Haven’t done that for ages.
I’m soooooo going to “kena” next year…
BarCamp KL. Can you hear the music?
Well well, it’s that year again. BarCamp KL has come again. After an exciting & hyped up first year, the BarCamps are starting to mushroom in Malaysia. And hopefully, it’s all for the good of knowledge.
Most people would still ask, what is BarCamp? You can have the technical answer for that. The answer varies, but the reasons why the spirit of BarCamp (and FOSS.my) lives on will always be the same. It’s like an underground community coming together and actually share stuff, whether it be for professional or personal benefit and it’s for all. That’s more important. The idealistic & holistic understanding of what we are doing together is for all & for everyone. It’s important for everyone. It’s interesting for everyone. And would it be great if everyone to know about it? Of course!
And that’s what BarCamp is all about. It can be about anything: art, drama, theatre, tech, business, finance and oh so many knowledge & interesting stuff that is out there and living inside us that is just waiting to burst out. If you have that feeling, come to BarCamp. You will feel just right at home.
And I’ve been thinking. These two tweets made me think about how I can put things into, well, maybe, perspective. I have no idea yet what to talk about, and time is running out. Ok, enough. The first thing came up to my head is a title. And here it is:
The Grassroots: Music, Infinity and Beyond!
What it’s all about? While typing this post down, I might have an idea. It’s an update from my last presentation at BarCamp about music. I will also probably talk about 2 communities that I personally and together with several close friends built. The spirit. The reasons to believe. The problems. One will be about a music community & the other, we’ll see. Also, I will probably put in some ideas about the future of digital music & other stuff. It’s probably more on like how to get your own groupies, like in a good way. Ya know? Hmm…
Whatever it is, OpenSocial hackathon is still on. And I’ll see you at BarCamp KL!
