Zahid And Idayu At East Coast Mall 21st Nov 2010

Things just kept getting better when I decided to spend more time with loved ones, and today, I am proud to announce that I finally got to see a free gig at my now favorite hang-out; East Coast Mall, Kuantan, courtesy of Astro and presented by Zahid and Idayu. These two are ex-contestants for the once popular reality show - Akademi Fantasia.

I used to like Idayu but never vote for her and Zahid was OK to me...

Using my undeniable sophisticated mobile phone cam, I manage to get this snippet for you, which is currently broadcast all over the planet for good measure and for fulfilling the meaning of free media. Here's how they look (and Oh! Please keep your comment about Idayu's size to yourself. Yeah, I can feel you folks...)

And I promise those who watch this on YouTube that they can see some photo on this blog. Well, to be honest, I just have ONE photo here, thanks to my ingenious photography skill. Yup, I'm yet to turn professional due to skepticism that someone, somewhere might harm me out of jealousy. So, to be on the safe side, I put that on hold until the right moment arises.

Oh! Here's the only photo; the sole survivor...

I Have To Write This: I Watched MEGAMIND Today

Hahaha... This is just a side-kick from yesterday's post (but I'm not going to link them because it will make this post appear in the 'most popular post'). Right now, I think going to the movie has suddenly shot up into my personal favorites family activities. My place over here, not only it is one of the places that offers movie in 3D in the whole Malaysia, but it is close to children entertainment parlor.

You know; the place where they had static taxi ride, police patrol car, army tank and rocket in one place, and they can keep my child ecstatic for minutes. That's good enough for me because usually, when we're in the car, it's easier for her to doze off. Well, you know how 'helpful' kids can be some times, right?

OK. Back to the subject matter - MEGAMIND...

If you have not watch this, let me spare you with the thrill and feed you will very little information, hopefully, just enough to get you nauseated. I was reminded of the INCREDIBLE when I see the movie but I trust the graphics (CGI) are getting much, much better.

Metro City looks so real from the tower when Hall placed Roxanne as bait to haul Megamind out. By the way, do you have any idea why Megamind call himself that? Huh! I'll let him tell you that.

So I guess that's all I can tell you. Did I achieve my mission? Did you feel tad nausea reading this? As usual, enjoy the picture which I manage to screen-cap for you (and hopefully spare me from Copyright issue...).

I Watched Harry Potter And The Deathly Hollow Yesterday

Yeah! I even took my wife and 4 years-old daughter, who in my opinion, is to young to appreciate the meaning of growing up with the movie. YES, Harry Potter and The Deathly Hollow is way, way, better than Half-Blood Prince because it contains more meaningful romance throughout.

But I wish the part before Ron Weasly smashed the locket, particularly, the image of Potter and Hormaine together in a compromise situation is made clearer. You would have no idea what I'm talking about if you're no fan of the series or just plain hate this whole ordeal. Anyway, that's not the point I'm making here.

And I'm not writing a review either...

I just want to show-off that I do have spare time and I'm filling it with meaningful activities with my loved ones. Harry et.al was just collateral and I would have enjoyed my day regardless how I decided to spend it. What about your day yesterday?

 

PS. Since I can't find a decent photo to attached, I have decided to include this random pieces which I got after I did a quick search on Google. Some of them are meaningless and some are relevant to the movie. Guess which ones are not?

The Success Fuel

Do you what is the fuel for success? Let me tell you the answer (and see if you agree with it): It is FEEDBACK. When you take a closer look at a success trail, you'll often see simple 3 steps process:

1. Know what you want
2. Take action to get it
3. Keep adjusting your approach until you finally get to it

It never is a straight line so along the way you'll have to make adjustment. What to adjust? How? The answers will largely depend on one thing - the feedback you get from the action you take. So when you feel stuck at something, notice that you are actually getting a feedback. Perhaps it is saying, "Hey look! This might not be the way to do this. Look for another way." Once you recognize it, things become easier to get back on track and finally get to the destination.

But the FUN is not in arriving; it's in the journey.

And one more thing. While feedback is useful to get you move forward, you could not entirely depend on it to move into the future. Keep this in mind: You Cannot Move Forward Without Looking At The Rear Mirror But You Also Cannot Move Forward Just By Looking At It.

Find a balance and success is yours.

I Have Change It

I have made a post about my sidebar a few hours ago which you can see here: Sidebar Apology and within that short span of time, I squeeze my creative juice to the last drop and come up with this final layout. Can you spot the difference? Of course you can! The annoyance had been moved and what's left is pleasure to the eye and not insulting to the brain (agree?).

Thanks to the cool feature of Most Popular Post provided by Blogger, I finally stop searching for ingenious ways to make my blog look beautiful without losing its intellectual value. I hope you feel the same because I hate it when people disagree with me ;)

Thank got the 'intelligence insult' did not last long. I can't live with the nightmare all my life; thinking that I have others feel miserable with brainless advertising. Hope you'll enjoy this one forever!

Going Back To School

You might have a different idea about my subject line today. I have no intention to put you back into a classroom seat in an area surrounded with buildings and fields but my idea is going back to OLD SCHOOL. Do you what that means?

That means going back to do what has proven to work and cut through the noise of complexity and sophistication. Since when things have to be complex to work? What happen to SIMPLICITY?

I LOVE to put this through you and that is the simple way to do thing still works and will keep working as long as you work at it. For example, when people go for ultra-technical software to win customers and getting traffic, the Old-School folks just keep it simple with one page squeeze page and made a killing with e-mail marketing.

YES! E-mail marketing still works but only if you brave enough to go Old School.

And here's another example: A fried of mine who has been online for the past 3 years recently meet me up for a chat at our favorite stall. He told me that after dabbling with digital products, Pay-Per-Click Advertising and affiliate marketing, he finally makes a killing with none of the above!

"What?!" I said in disbelief. "Yeah, man. I finally made it with a simple fashion distribution network. Of course, I had to take care of the packaging and delivering but it is usable cash every time," he said. And that is how he summarized Old School. Did you get it?
