New button for Negaraku! project.
The old button seriously needed an upgrade. It was more of copy paste job. Not that I was lazy, but because I couldn’t understand the whole mechanism.
Now that I’ve mastered the art of PHP and CSS, I built my own sexy ‘Fave It’ button. Designed to be super fast, http caching and most importantly, doesn’t look like some plastered girl in spaghetti tube. I hope this design suits any blog theme, dark, bright, pink, guava green or Akon Red.
Negaraku! The Malaysian Social Bookmarking.
The idea is simple, find any character with “evb” and change to “evb2″. Alternatively, you can jump to know more. (more…)

Some of you may have no idea what Plurk is. In short, it’s a micro-blogging platform. Like any of my obsession, this too, will fade away. But while, I’m on the bang, I might as well explain a bit.

Today marked my 25th birthday. If I were to round up that figure, I’ll be in my 30’s. Thank God, age is excluded from the mathematical form.
Like every year, I’d look back and visualize what I’ve done and achieved. Management people call it KPI (key personnel index), Engineers call it benchmarking, Web Developer call it version-ing and Muslims call it muhasabah. Whatever you call it, it’s very important to justify yourself(or ego).
This year, I only met half of what I expected.
People say, “Kita hanya merancang, Tuhan menentukan“. I think it’s bull shit. If you failed to achieve something, it could either be one of this; you are not trying hard enough or you did not pray hard enough. Else, void.
If you could extend your mind a little bit, you’ll realize you’re actually blaming God for your misfortune.
Take for example, Malaysia lost against Vietnam (football). Can’t you just be honest and take the fall? It was never God’s fault to begin with. It could only be the two things mentioned above.
Next time when you stumble, don’t point fingers. Sit back and think, where did you screw up. Remember Newtons Third Law, “To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.” It’s should be your best interest to understand the opposite reaction.
Enough philosophy. I was thinking of getting myself a MacBookPro, but I think it’s OVERLY priced at RM7999. The thought moved to Iphone, but since I only use a phone to call and sms, why would I need a PDA? Just to look cooler? Pffft.
I think I’ll get myself a dual screen pc. No more ALT + Tab move.
ps: I asked a cute birthday girl to sing me a birthday song in front of everyone, and she did. (Yes, we share the same birthdate).
pss: To everyone who called or texted me, thanks. I actually feel guilty because I don’t remember your bloody birthday! So the next time you think about wishing me, just skip the noble intention. I don’t need to be reminded that I’m getting older.
psss: Thanks SootSpirit for the birthday wish. Just so we’re clear, you’re still a fan not a friend, yet. LoL.

Over the past few months, I jumped at least a few hurdles in this blogging arena. Hate mails, fan mails, nasty mails, you name it, I got it. It’s glad to know my writing is being acknowledge though I never expected one.On a quizzical note, I received a somewhat peculiar message from an anonymous guest. On the top right is a live chat system. I use to display my mood via Gmail. Thanks to it, I have another confused hater.

How can she mistook me for a pengkid? She must have missed the About page. Clearly, I’m a man. If not, you can kick my nut sack and see how I squirm just to clear the suspicion.I take it as one of our common traits, being too quick to judge. Seriously, bodoh.
ps: My guess she entered via Pengkid Hairstyle.
pss: It’s definitely a she, a guy couldn’t careless about lesbians, unless naked ones.

Few weeks ago was Deepavali, Festival of Light they call it. On that day, I had a few open houses to attend. Don’t get me wrong, I hate attending one. But who’s going to finish all the food if I don’t gobble some?

After the first few houses, I needed my daily dose of canned milk coffee, either Boss or Pokka, both would rejuvenate me. I stopped by a news stand. As usual, I’d flip a few pages of magazine with no intention of buying one.
Pardon my super sharp ears and my uber awesome eavesdropping technique, I overheard the shopkeeper telling his son to study, in Tamil. Though I do not have babelfish with me at all time, I could comprehend his frustration when he mentioned a few SPM subjects.
It’d be awkward for me to stay in a one sided gun fight, so I prompted for the owner.
His face was red and sometimes green. Could it be a mixture of horrid and disgust? I have no idea. I’m no doctor, but I sure hope to marry one. (more…)

A very quick blow from me today.
I’ve removed all unnecessary and verbose codes on NH. So expect fast loading site wise.
I was building an Ajax Chat plugin for WordPress, half way through, I gave up. I figure it’ll be much easier to outsource the script rather than building one from my exhausted rig. You can see try the Ajax Chat here.
Another thing you might notice is how I highlighted recent comments on the right bar. So feel free to gang up on each other. Let’s get this battle royal moving!!
ps: I will be an uncle in 1 week time.

What can I say, being the youngest Grand Prix winner, he deserves a standing ovation. Round of applause please.
I’m not actually a big fan of Hamilton. Word of mouth says he’s snobbish, but at least he proved his arrogance’s worth. Me on the other hand, have nothing at hand. Oh boy, let’s not judge others ok?





















I’m a big fan of McLaren though. Having said that, I don’t gave up on the sport ages ago. It’s so frequent, it’s no longer a privilege to watch on my good Sunday.
I remember in the old days when Hakkinen was the KGB of Formula 1. I memorized every single track, every corner, every chicane, hairpins and the ideal speed, entering and exiting corners. I could even draw you the tracks.
