Web Amenities and It’s Misfortune

Long ago when I started Negaraku! I wanted to fulfill my undying hunger for quality materials. It did at first. Now that it’s useful, it’s becoming a burden to manage entries.

Another site to note, Friendster.com. If you happened to linger about the web a lot, you’ll notice there’s many vigilante booing the social networking site. It’s ok to whine about it’s downtime, but name callings and cursings? Wow, you’d do that after serving you for so many years? Did you pay for their services?  

It’s like telling the Milo-man, who gives out free helpings to exhausted athletes, their chocolate drink looked like mixed stools. Yet, you ask for a second helping. (more…)

English for Science and Mathematics

“He said pupils had the option of answering the two subjects entirely in English, in Bahasa Malaysia, Chinese/Tamil (mother tongue) or a combination of all three.” Alimuddin Md. Dom, TheStar

Quick question, why Chinese/Tamil is an option for UPSR?

Anyway I’m against this notion, English for Science and Math. This is a highly debatable topic. No right, no wrong, pure opinion. The aim here is to produce quality youngster who’ll one day thrive Malaysia.

English is THE lingua franca. If you don’t know English you can bid farewells to globalization. On the other hand, Bahasa Melayu is our National Language. Between these two, where you do stand? (more…)

Linked In, Thanks

Stop being humble, you are popular lah NH. My whole division reads your blog. In fact, I told them to.

Everytime someone tells me I’m popular, I’d deny as quickly as possible. It’s not an act of being humble, but to avoid deeper conversation into this petty matter. NH is a tale for my unborn kids of how their dad struggle and think during his early adulthood.

I have every reason to scared of popularity. For starters, you’ll have haters. KennySia has KennySai and DawnYang has her many lies. My hater will definitely be a Saint, he’ll be known as KomaPutih. (more…)

Good Company Makes Time Fly

Like the usual, Friday night is about taking your time off the real world. It was a last minute thing, I managed to get a hold of Bongkersz and Aeropama for a teh tarik session.

I know you might think this is another geek hangouts, oh my, how so wrong of you. Our conversation was deep, cynical and anything for the betterment of the nation. The highly debatable topic was English as medium for Science and Math. Ok, you can say it’s rather geeky. (more…)

Behind Obama, United States and Malaysia

First and foremost, I’d like to pay utmost respect to Obama on winning the presidency seat. (So which desk did you pick?)

We’ve heard and read so many stories about him, online or offline. Me? I couldn’t care less about his campaign. Politicians, they all echo the same thing, Change. It’s the marketing strategy that grants you the upper hand. Obama went super viral.

Few days ago, I had a small teh tarik session. The topic varies from politics to jokes. One of the thing that pulls my attention was this statement.

Obama is the first black president, why can’t Malaysia have a non bumi PM?

New Negaraku! Fave It Button For Your Blog

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 girl¹ 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…)

Do You Plurk?

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.
