( its not who you think you are, rather its who your peers think you are. ;- )
1. Visionary/Artist Programmer
The Visionary Programmer is a rare breed that can capture lightning in
a bottle and produce code that 99.9% of others cannot. These inventors
create new applications and paradigms that drive innovation in the
software industry. Napster, Netscape, and the World Wide Web are all
inventions from visionary programmers. For these people, software is
more art than science. Speed and quality are not always the best, but
great fortunes are made on the backs of these wizards. Most
development shops can afford only a single visionary programmer, which
is often the company’s technical founder or CTO.
2. Trailblazer Programmer
The Trailblazer Programmer takes a good idea and runs with it. These
are the people who most often create the prototypes that ultimately
become useful products. Trailblazers can produce in a day what takes
most programmers weeks or months. Trailblazers are always
experimenting with new tools and technologies, constantly learning and
searching for ways to increase productivity, and typically serve as
mentors and teachers to other programmers. You will often find a
trailblazer coding away late at night when everyone else has left the
office. Though these professionals tend to be expensive, every
successful development shop needs at least one or two trailblazers.
3. Workhorse Programmer
The Workhorse Programmer is the backbone of any productive development
shop. These people are not particularly innovative, but they are
highly productive and reliable. Give a workhorse programmer a good set
of specs and the right tools, and they will often deliver on time and
within budget.
4. Drone Programmer
Filling the fat in a true bell curve, many programmers are “drones”
who work 9-5 to collect a paycheck. These people shy away from new
technology, avoid learning new things, and likely will not be reading
this article. Most large development shops are full of drones because
management fails to realize that more expensive programmers are
actually cheaper.
5. Idiot Programmer
Every village has its idiot, and software development is no exception.
Programming requires abstract and logical thinking, yet some
right-brained people are lured to programming in search of a good
salary. Idiot Programmers often struggle with the simplest of
algorithms, constantly miss deadlines and fail to make much progress.
The sad thing is these are often wonderful people, but simply in the
wrong job.

What I tried to do this week...
Another boring week for me..yikes...
i'm supposed to report to duty next week but i haven't called the company yet coz i'm due to fail to attend it on time because i still need to serve another week here..
because the urge to work here is no more at place in my heart, i rebelled.. I took the liberty to do a blood test using the company's medical card (which supposed not to cover) last week, an MC..
I took the Monday off (MC again) since i had the urgency not to go to the office. I woke up around 11am in Seremban. On Sunday i came back with my kakak but later she went back with abah to KL while i slept in Seremban..malas nyer nak keje...
Then yesterday i took another day off (MC again).. this time around i told the doctor i got severe migraine..lalala...but this time around, the doctor told me to go to the office tomorrow (Which means today)..ye la, ikut je la..
today i'm at work..punched in at 9.20am..
i took an early break at around 12 and then went to Low Yatt, bukit bintang for jalan2...
i bought myself a Sandisk Cruzer micro 8GB ( i thought of buying the titanium, but damn it was expensive)..i bought it at rm60.. still felt cheated coz there was another shop selling it at rm59..
Then i bought a MicroSD card adaptor..she was asking rm15..i nego rm10..even though she was reluctant, but i managed to buy it at rm10...i gave a rm50 note..she had no change...so i told her that i only have rm9..damn..i got it at rm9!!
then after wasting my time there, i bought myself a PSP game.. Patapon 2...which cost me rm5..donno what else to buy..i went back to the office..
then suddenly i realised that my aim was to buy a clock..nevermind la..next time..
total damage today = rm60 + rm9 + rm5 = rm74 + lunch of rm5 + parking of rm6 = rm85...owh MG!!

What do I think of ham radio today
Taken from an old timer who quits being a ham
http://9m2ar.com/quitham.asp
What do I think of ham radio today
a. Ham radio consists of people of various categories and qualities, from the good ones to the bad ones. The number of the bad ones could be as many as the good ones. The bad ones are
- arrogance
-very rude
- believe they are the best people in the world of hamming
- Encourage piracies
- Using word like fuck, pig and other sinister words
- Show no respect towards experience hams with higher intellectual
ability eg 9W vs Dr Ken
- boasted even though with poor or no knowledge
- start as pirates and continue with pirates lingo
- lending call sign to others
b. A big majority petitioned against CW exam. CW is a part and parcel of ham radio. It is more of a tradition and culture like the RAE.Both may not be relevant but hey are tradition. ARRL, ORARI and many other radio organizations are for Morse codes because it is a feature of ham radio. Besides it is a character building of a ham to make them more organized. Usually bad character people cannot pass CW exam. In my mind those who are scarred of CW do not have positive attitudes. I just don't to mix with his kind of people. They are just fit for CB.
c. The MCMC people had taken advise from people without knowledge and experience. These people had not been Short wave listeners and were not aware of many things. It is not surprise that the MCMC allows people it arranged to go to Indonesia to use Malaysian call sign there instead of requesting the Indonesian special call sign. The MCMC also allows someone in a war ship talking to a regular ham on the land. The allocation of call signs are confusing to the international ham community. And finally it allows non-ham using ham equipment giving them a special frequency which other nation had thought that the Malaysian authority had expanded the frequency of amateur band.
d. I believe there is some sort of corruptions going on because there are many hams who do not have even simple electronic knowledge who passed the Radio Amateur Examination. At one time it was said that someone collected money to ensure of the passes. Out of 6000 we can drag just about 50 persons to court and quiz them about radio and electronics and hear their explanations. Many can't narrate the AM, LSB, USB ,SSB , AM and FM. Or the working of a receiver.
e. No action has ever been taken on to reported pirate stations
f. Ham Radio is now being politicized. There are occasions that the repeater was used to broadcast political event or activities run by political bodies. Once a repeater is put up, it is public. It is not the prerogative to the owner to use it for anything.
g. People who committed crimes and cheat many other hams are in the ham radio.
Lately there were were talks on PRADAS, wrong SOPs, excessive used of Q-Codes and CB as well pirate terminology were brought in. New hams spoil ham radio. The sanctity and divinity of amateur radio has been washed away by new comers and new administrators. Ham radio has become just like any other radio; pirate, CB, Family Radio, commercial.
I notice one of the main problems of the new hams is that they think they are very smart and always want to show their pride of being smart. And they would organize into groups condemning other groups, want to compete with all other group even though they just became hams within one year. At the same time they would break rules after rules.
There were several occasions that subjects on illegal fund collecting were taking place here and there. The accused would create stories and asked his friends to boycott anyone who pointed out the misdeed. Though further investigation show the accusation was true it made the hams split more.
Last time ham radio operators must know English. Today it is not mandatory. Since it is an international hobby and not invented in Malaysia English is still vital. But those who could not speak English were never criticized. On the other hand there are people who condemn hard the people who speak the language. And they behave like a moron or barbarian on the air. These people use Western gadgets, dress Western and practice Western culture.
I would like to mention a little on PRADAS. It is a form of pre-marital sex or live in partner. A couple can have sex before marriage or living together as a kind of learn how to fuck before gets married. I was told that the MCMC says that piracy is a training ground to be a full pledge ham. I would called it a distorted thought in the spoil mind. The main training ground is called Short Wave Listening. SWL in fact is also an art. PRADAS is a symbol of silliness and inefficiency. It also contributes to the death of ham radio.
I appreciate those who continue to sit for CW test. I salute them. These are people with courage and positive attitude. Having failed once they made a second try and the third. These are real amateur radio enthusiasts. They fought against all odds. I pray for their success and well being.
I feel very sorry for the more educated and learned hams like doctors and lawyers. To me they jump into the wrong hobby. Yes once it was noble and respectable. It carried the flag of the nation.
What is considered rude ?
1 - Tuning on frequency used by the others
2 - Pressing Morse key on frequency used by others working CW
3- Passing various types of remarks when conversations are done in English
4- Let the kids talk to the mic
5- Deliberately jamming frequency by various means
Malaysians and probably Malaysian hams are known to do all the above. They are making the band dirty and ham radio filthy as well. They talk about policy without reading every word of it. These people kill ham radio and bring filth to it.
29/04/2009 - One of my former students with a call sign said ,"Cikgu, Ham radio is for us to have fun...". I told him that ham radio is something can be treated as serious. It is a national reserve of a kind. During the Malaysian-Indonesian confrontation at least one known ham were taken to Singapore to help in the deciphering of enemy Morse codes. In time of war all modes of communication will be used by a nation. A nation must have enough people with Morse knowledge to intercept all the traffics and decode them.
Ham radio is also an ambassador. It broadcasts the existence of a nation and it's location. At the same it broadcasts the knowledge and culture of a country. When hams from a certain country are rude it is telling the world the nature of the people. The questions asked, the topics discuss and the way hams carry themselves can enhance or bring down the image of a country. Do you think the MCMC ever think about this ?
If you have been a ham for many years you will know which people from what nation could and could not be trusted and you can their characteristics from experiences.
30/04/2009- Many old hams blamed the MCMC for many things. Certainly the authority will fully reject any accusation. Administratively I would say that the MCMC is accountable for any wrongdoing by people using the radio. In some areas the body is also responsible in addition to being accountable. There are many things that we do not agree but we have to carry them out because of our duty and our work. Read what Judge Chan said about judges and executing the laws. He mentioned that he had to hang many people who were found guilty though it is against his will.
I heard a few people said that the MCMC disregard the international convention on a few things. This will likely to happen when people in the MCMC are new to ham radio and are being advised by the very new people who think they are the smart lot. People had been mentioning name like Zol or Zul or Zu. I don't know whether such person exist.
But on the other hand the MCMC may be saying that there is nothing wrong in Malaysian Amateur Radio. Everything goes on fine. In that case there is nothing that we can do. We just wait until things explode and the politicians will throw some people out of the office.
03/05/2009 - Who owns owns amateur radio ? The MCMC does not own amateur radio. It cannot manipulate it as it likes. Neither do the plain Malaysians. We don't own it too. The MCMC administer it, arrange for exams and issue the licenses. The MCMC follows the international convention. But cavemen seem to think they own ham radio and use it as they like and manipulate it to suit their needs. Even a radio society can say that it permits non licensees to operate ham radio on it's repeater. What a shit.

THE STANDARD
The standard is not measured by the quantity but the degree of difficulty. If you open a university and everybody got As in all subjects and the lecturers only know A then people are scared to employ the products. Recently one law lecturer only passed 5 of her students. The university asked her to lower the passing marks or increase the number of passes. She refused. "I have to give the marks they deserved." She resigned.
At times the government sent political persons who passed only MCE to USA to do the Master degree. Many avoided difficult courses like statistics and instead took subjects like takraw, badminton and other non-exam subjects. They came back as lecturers. I can't imagine what kind of lecturers they are. To stay as a lecturer they have to give As.
The lowering of standard will effect the nation in the long run. We start to see organizations with low quality officers making important decisions which can ruin the nation in term of wastage in resources and it brought down the image of the country. If you open a factory, certainly you would be very careful and will make the right choice to choose you officers.
But human being is peculiar. No one will say he is of a low quality person even though he may be illiterate .There is a whole spectrum of such people from the university graduates to the normal illiterates. There may be a positive correlation between attitudes and quality.
On the other hand a good and right attitudes like the willingness to learn and putting effort at work can enhance a person's quality regardless of his educational qualification. Hard work is one of the good work ethics and attitudes. Usually people with the right attitudes will behave well and can be trusted.
People who want everything free and getting things easily don't have the right attitudes. As far as I am concern I would not like to befriend such kind of people.

CB RADIO
The Citizens Band Radio Service is a public, non-commercial service that is available to the general population in our country. CB radio station operates in the 26.965 to 27.405 MHz band or 11 meters with a transmitter power output of 4 watts AM or 12 Watts SSB. But illegally people use higher power.
CB Radio is commonly used when going mobile. When the band condition opens people talk to each other throughout the world. You don't have to sit for any exam to go on CB. CB like the Amateur Radio has the QSL cards and has regular international meeting among members.
Shops that sell amateur radio equipments usually sell the CB radio. But CB is very much cheaper. Buy the name brand like Midland products. While waiting for the band to open you can talk to your local friends provided they too buy the sets.
There are many thousands hand held CB equipments are being deployed by shoppers for shop to shop communication. It is almost free as compared to the hand phone when asking one shop to send a certain supply. By laws people have to register the equipments with the authority but I think no one does it.
Though the CB has it's own code and style of communication yet procedures use by the ham radio operators are being followed too. If you don't like Radio Amateur Examination and Morse Codes then CB is a good choice for you. In USA CBers are also preparing themselves for disaster and emergency communication.
If you are not keen on learning CW then go CB. You will get plenty of information from the internet.

MY NEW SHACK
The computer table shown here was used to be by transceivers but only a few items were seen. The old radio is ICF5900W which is for monitoring the local FM station to know the prayer time, national news and other announcements. The lap top on the right is connected to the internet and the one on the left is for my writing programs. I still write soft wares at 62. But my brain is not as sharp as before. I cannot code complex argument anymore.
I have problem with my male cat which like to piss around the room. The smell is very pungent and I have a very tough time to do the cleaning. I tried to talk to my cat several time hoping it could understand me by the brain wave or God could send my message to her. "Please piss outside the house."
Soon I will be ordering a dozen units of DigitalPersona fingerprint reader for keeping purposes. May be one day later I will need it. I know I can develop several applications with it. I will be waiting for the urge to do it. When it comes, it will take my time off.
In the mean time I just pass my time a little here and there. Now my time on TV has increased. I start to watch Oprah and Big Losses.
Top
NEW TERMINOLOGY
New hams invent their own terminology. Some I have heard but not all others. I am just wondering where they got it from. Then you will hear the new comers blaming the old timers for not teaching them.
We have been hams for a many long years. No one taught us CW, SOP and terminology. We knew all the hams in the country before we get our ticket. Because we have been Short Wave Listeners. We either hunted for communication receivers of used just normal receivers beating it. SWL was SWL. There are SWL magazines. No other name as it is now. Someone told me the authority gave other name to it, not exactly SWL.
Terms that I use to hear was Canopy. Other heard Cot Main, PTT, I only RX. I heard QRX to mean temporary QRT or listening mode when it means something else. People talking in plain language use Tango Kilo ??????? Tango Kilo...? I am sure more new terms will be coming.
Of course not all new comers are happily using those terminology. Many are perfect. Even the perfect ones get head ache and do not know what to do. Now the Ham Crusader is fighting alone. Other old hams are already quitting. The very few existent ones are already tired. They should form a group to support the Ham Crusader and fight for the dignity and sanctity of Amateur Radio. Be proud of Morse codes. Let hams have skills that other radio people don't have.

THE GOOD HEART OF MCMC
MCMC loves ham radio operators because it says ham radio is just a hobby. There is no point stopping people from becoming a radio operators. It is an act of being benevolent and kindness. Why put the pirates or wrong doers in jail or fine them excessively just because of the ardent interest. The MCMC has a good heart.
It is in fact a trend to treat mankind in a humanly manner. Corporal punishments in schools and on criminals are said to be barbaric.
But I just have a different view. There are time to be kind and pitiful. There are people who deserve to be punished or die. The West who condemn barbaric act are continuing to fire rockets every day and Afghanistan. People are killed under the name of terrorists.
If bad people could be killed then bad people should not be given the VIP treatment. Hence the MCMC should take stern actions on the offenders and filter the people to be ham radio operators. When people begin to take advantage of our kindness, they tend to move further and try to gain more ground. They would break rules after rules.
Now the authority says it can't control the hams because of the big volume. Imagine if the police say "We can't control crime because there are too many criminals." The anti-narcotic says, "We can't control because there are too many pushers."
When catastrophe happen everybody will be pointing fingers and blaming each other. Of course the final say will be ,"We don't have enough man power." I am going to list what sort of catastrophe will strike but I believe it will happen one day. Somehow there will be spark which will start the fire. I say this base on the past experience as a ham radio operators. The MCMC did not yet exist then. That's why it does not expect any eventuality.
If the MCMC thinks and say it is merely a hobby then why there must be RAE ( Radio Amateur Examination ). Only less then 1% of the knowledge tested is used. Today people do not construct their own ham radio. They buy them cheaply in the shops.
Ham radio is more than just a hobby. It is an ambassador. It transmits culture and mentality. It can build an image of a country. It can also be an asset to the nation if the hams have enough skills in every aspect of communication. On the other hand it could be a tool to bring down a government or splitting the people. The radio can be used for illegal purposes as well.
If the MCMC seeks the advice of 'telor setengah masak' how to run the show, I feel very sorry indeed.

PAIN TO HIS EARS
Long before me there is another old timer who had moved from Penang to Kuala Lumpur. There are many old hams move places and we don't hear them again due to a certain problems. These people had been very active before.
One of them threw out his hand held into a river after hearing new hams having QSO. That means he decided to give up ham radio for good. But the new hams do not realize their mistakes. They just think the way they talk and what they talk is normal.
Before the demise of active hams, the new generations did not have time to be SWL. Many of the first badge of the new 9Ws started as pirates and broke all the rules in the world. There were stories about smuggling out of radios from factories and police had been hunting people with radios then. When they become hams they were not able to train the next generation.
And when the MCMC took over it did not follow the tradition of the telecom. As many other bosses they always like to invent their own styles and methodology, thinking they are the better.
With all these problems they don't learn ethics and the SOP, terminology and the right usage of the Q-Codes, inventing new things as been mentioned before. How not to be painful to the ears of the person who threw his set in the river.
One of the oldest hams that has been active till recent months is 9M2YP. He would be on the air every now and then calling CQ on CW. It has been almost a year Yee was not heard. But those who gave up had never use aggressive words like I do. They use other excuses.
New hams do not know that transmitting on frequencies used by the others are very rude and disturbing. On HF we knew people pressing their keys when we were working CW. If they are hams to be it is considered the same. But that's what happening. To allow kids to talk and imitating people speaking English is very rude as well.
The common words like to use by the modern generation is 'Biasalah....' Even taking expensive item from hotel as souvenir is considered 'biasalah...'
To me I hate pomposity. Pomposity with wrong ideas on things which are not facts should be shameful. If the knowledge is limited then read first or ask other people whom we respect as knowledgeable. Talking things which are not facts all the way is painful to our ears. He could have just said, "You don't want to hear, switch it off." True, switch our radio off. But the air is being polluted by what is being transmitted. The band is not his. We can talk cock in our own home.
Again you might ask " is everybody doing it ? " One is too many. He is not in CB or in any other radio services. Ham can't afford to have even a few bad eggs. This hobby has been taken by royalties and members of congress and the head of the countries. You do not know to whom you are talking to. Imagine you express your pomposity to a King of Saudi or to a Congressman, wouldn't you create an image of Malaysian ham in his mind ?
Many old hams still want to look at a very high standard of ham radio. Remember it is international in nature not the Kuala Nerang in origin.

SMART GUYS
I have written on this topic time and again and it is somewhere in my web page.
1. Most of my primary school teachers hardly passed LCE or PMR. Those days after passing Standard 4/6 one can be a teacher after a training. Today the primary school teachers who just gone thru MCE are still there. Their students have surpassed them and many became high ranking officers. Many former students respected the teachers and would give them a very VIP treatment when encounter with them. But there are a few among the many who would just pretend not to know them. When talk to them would use "I and you." We heard of someone who even said that he is more qualified than his former teachers now.
One old primary school teacher thank me when I met him. "Why ?" I asked. "Because you remember me and come to me to say hello." That's all that he needed. Not our wealth, money or asking work for his kids.
One university professor accepted someone in his course while registration. Many were rejected. One his colleague told the other applicants "That man must be his teacher...." That professor usually rejected less qualified applicants.
2. A person went to a 3 moths computer course. He told his friends that when he goes back to his work place he would beat the teacher from whom he first started to learn computing. But unfortunately for him he was surprise that teacher's knowledge excel his by a leap and bound.
Why people are arrogance and stubborn with a little knowledge ? The Malay proverb is 'a frog under a coconut shell'. That coconut shell is his world. When he comes out, he feels he is the best, the hero and smartest lot of all. He claims to represent everybody, does things for everybody and stay on that way.
Some people call these people egoistic. Some think they have problem of low self esteem. A self esteem problem will not cause havoc if he can keeps it to himself. But he moves around poking the others. He would feel satisfied if he can get people around him.
Long ago such kind of people was almost nil in ham radio. Ask any very old ham and they would give identical answer "Hamming was fun then.....". Smart people didn't compete and keep their smartness to themselves.

MCMC KATA SUSAH NAK KAWAL HAM RADIO
MCMC berkata ham terlalu ramai dan sukar dikawali. Dalam 4 atau 5 tahun dahulu saya mengesyorkan supaya diadakan satu akta yang berbunyi lebih kurang seperti di bawah :-
Lesen Radio Amatur bukanlah satu hak tetapi satu keistemewaan.
Ia boleh ditarik balik atau tidak diberi tanpa sebarang sebab. Hak
MCMC membuat keputusan tidak boleh dipersoalkan oleh mahkamah.
Kalau dengan akta tersebut dan dengan peralatan MCMC yang canggih, ianya sudah mencukupi sekadar 1 atau 2 orang sahaja dibayar gaji untuk mengesan mereka yang bersalah. Berikan saja kerja itu kepada orang lain. Nescaya pesalah akan didakwa atau lesennya ditarik balik atau dia tidak akan mendapat lesen seumur hidup.
Adakah ini satu kepayahan ? Penyakit pendatang haram, peningkatan jenayah dan kerosakan moral adalah padah dari kata-kata yang megatif.

SOME ADVISE TO YOUNGER HAMS
Young and newer hams do not easily give up ham radio. You put things right. Always remember it is a toy and things to be play with. While it may be entertaining you have to take it seriously. See and think of the philosophy behind it. It is not politics. It is not about competition and show who is smart and who are not.
Because you have not been SWL you tend to make errors which you think are right. You cannot learn from persons who started as pirates or the CB people. Recognize between the PTT and the microphone and know when the PTT is to be used and when not. Listen to the terminology used by the really old hams. There are 9W2s who have been SWL since 1960's. They know the right term and procedures.
Read on the Q-Codes, understand the concept of the plain language and when it is used. Find out more about the ethics and stay away from being rude. Never condemn the usage of English in ham radio.
Forming into groups and detaching away from one another has never been a good practice. You don't compete to show your greatness and formed rival groups.
Never encourage pirates or lend your call sign. Act fast to put down the person who use your call sign or else you will be accused as the accomplice. Tell them to buy radio and be SWL not to buy transmitters. Transmitters is something illegal. Remember if the MCMC cease to be the authority and it being revert back to Telecom or given to the police you can be fined or jail for nothing.
Avoid bad manners. It is not fit for hooligans to be hams.
Go for CW because it will enhance your ability and make you organize yourself in the course of acquiring the skill. It will be useful one day. When you got sore throat or lost your voice you still can be a ham. You also can work with persons of no voice overseas. In time of crisis and poor propagation Morse can help you.
Always try to enhance the dignity and standard of ham radio. As for me I am busy in computer programming now which taxed me a lot. Tell me when things have improved and more than 1/3 has passed their CW exam. I am around in yahoo messenger.

CONGRATULATION 9M2YAS
I have been wanting 9W2YEH and other 9W2s to to be successful in getting the 9M2 tickets for very long time. Their determination and diligent have earned them what they been striving for. I just appreciate the kind of people who are always ready to face challenges and difficulties. 9M2YAS SMS me today ,22/05/2009, informing me of his new call sign.
I am happy for Cikgu Illias and those who have finally earned their reward. And of course I would lie to repeat my reminder that they are carrying Malaysian flags on their shoulders. Don't just jumped international without thinking much of the rules and ethics. remember, you may be talking to somebody who has a high status in society as I have mentioned in the above articles. Think what could embarass them. Some people just don't lie personal questions, some may be able to accept them. We just don't shoot those question as we like
Knowledge on our village or city would help. I heard conversations between two persons talking about the population, occupation, geographical area, the number of schools and hospitals etc. It is good to have those facts handy.
If you shift from SSB to CW and vice versa some hams will be able to catch you on both. he, not only think you are a great ham, but also he will be having a positive concept idea on our nation. As I have said that you are the ambassador of Malaysia.
I heard Perlis is having a Morse class. That is a good news. With Those new 9Ms and 9M2PZ more hams from Perlis would be joining the group. At the same time you will be having problems with already problem people, who will always passed bad remarks on you like you are showing off. Why let the low self esteem people discourage you.
I have always known that Cikgu Illias will get thru his CW because I have been observing his right attitudes for quite some time. Congratulation once again.

PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME
I have closed my ham radio book. But I kept on getting SMS and phone calls pestering me to come on the air. Some informed me of what's happening in their areas. I was told that the Indonesian authority had geared itself to act tough against the pirates and those people selling ham gears to them. At the same time warning the ham operators not to use their gears for commercial activities. I don't know what is in the mind of MCMC about people who lend their call signs to people ( even lending call sign for more than a year ) and those pirates.
I also understand that by September there will be at least one lady who will go CW on the air and will be the Malaysian World Book of Record. But certainly it could be more than one. Let it happens and be recorded in our Malaysian history. This is a fabulous news and please to the ears.
I don't have any rig right now. So I don't know what's going on. Who were on 2 meters and who were not. Likewise I don't know what is happening on HF band either. I am busy with experimenting with mySql server database.
I have yet to talk to new comers who want to work CW on the band. I will try to resolve the alternative for them so that they will enjoy the mode. Probably I have to talk to Manan about it. I also need to hear the mind of the MCMC. Will it moves like what the Indonesian authorities are doing ? Will the MCMC continue to engage any Zol as advisor or consultant ?

EFFORT AND ATTITUDE
Do you know who is 9M2GET ? His former call sign was 9W2LLK. A teacher by profession, Hairi ( radio name ) had work very hard to pass his CW. 9M2MGL inspired him. Today Hairi's wife is working hard herself together with a few other hams, YL and OM, learning this mode.
I have said before that positive attitude, persistence, diligence and not easily giving up hope is a very desirable . I remember in one Olympic a runner never gave up though the athlete was last and far behind time. Spectators waited for the runner to complete the race. People gave the runner standing ovation. People climbed the mountain, fought the rapids and jumped the plane instead of sleeping at home in the air condition room.
The guts and fighting spirit build a person's ability to survive. I am very sure there are many hams with the right attitude. Some are shy to surface for fear of being ridiculed by fellow hams. I have heard this kind of story before.
9M2GET called and apologized that he did not inform me of his new call sign. I told him that I already knew about it. His last word was he hope I will come back to amateur radio.
But I just don't like the cowardice and the trouble makers.

What do I think of ham radio today
a. Ham radio consists of people of various categories and qualities, from the good ones to the bad ones. The number of the bad ones could be as many as the good ones. The bad ones are
- arrogance
-very rude
- believe they are the best people in the world of hamming
- Encourage piracies
- Using word like fuck, pig and other sinister words
- Show no respect towards experience hams with higher intellectual
ability eg 9W vs Dr Ken
- boasted even though with poor or no knowledge
- start as pirates and continue with pirates lingo
- lending call sign to others
b. A big majority petitioned against CW exam. CW is a part and parcel of ham radio. It is more of a tradition and culture like the RAE.Both may not be relevant but hey are tradition. ARRL, ORARI and many other radio organizations are for Morse codes because it is a feature of ham radio. Besides it is a character building of a ham to make them more organized. Usually bad character people cannot pass CW exam. In my mind those who are scarred of CW do not have positive attitudes. I just don't to mix with his kind of people. They are just fit for CB.
c. The MCMC people had taken advise from people without knowledge and experience. These people had not been Short wave listeners and were not aware of many things. It is not surprise that the MCMC allows people it arranged to go to Indonesia to use Malaysian call sign there instead of requesting the Indonesian special call sign. The MCMC also allows someone in a war ship talking to a regular ham on the land. The allocation of call signs are confusing to the international ham community. And finally it allows non-ham using ham equipment giving them a special frequency which other nation had thought that the Malaysian authority had expanded the frequency of amateur band.
d. I believe there is some sort of corruptions going on because there are many hams who do not have even simple electronic knowledge who passed the Radio Amateur Examination. At one time it was said that someone collected money to ensure of the passes. Out of 6000 we can drag just about 50 persons to court and quiz them about radio and electronics and hear their explanations. Many can't narrate the AM, LSB, USB ,SSB , AM and FM. Or the working of a receiver.
e. No action has ever been taken on to reported pirate stations
f. Ham Radio is now being politicized. There are occasions that the repeater was used to broadcast political event or activities run by political bodies. Once a repeater is put up, it is public. It is not the prerogative to the owner to use it for anything.
g. People who committed crimes and cheat many other hams are in the ham radio.
Lately there were were talks on PRADAS, wrong SOPs, excessive used of Q-Codes and CB as well pirate terminology were brought in. New hams spoil ham radio. The sanctity and divinity of amateur radio has been washed away by new comers and new administrators. Ham radio has become just like any other radio; pirate, CB, Family Radio, commercial.
I notice one of the main problems of the new hams is that they think they are very smart and always want to show their pride of being smart. And they would organize into groups condemning other groups, want to compete with all other group even though they just became hams within one year. At the same time they would break rules after rules.
There were several occasions that subjects on illegal fund collecting were taking place here and there. The accused would create stories and asked his friends to boycott anyone who pointed out the misdeed. Though further investigation show the accusation was true it made the hams split more.
Last time ham radio operators must know English. Today it is not mandatory. Since it is an international hobby and not invented in Malaysia English is still vital. But those who could not speak English were never criticized. On the other hand there are people who condemn hard the people who speak the language. And they behave like a moron or barbarian on the air. These people use Western gadgets, dress Western and practice Western culture.
I would like to mention a little on PRADAS. It is a form of pre-marital sex or live in partner. A couple can have sex before marriage or living together as a kind of learn how to fuck before gets married. I was told that the MCMC says that piracy is a training ground to be a full pledge ham. I would called it a distorted thought in the spoil mind. The main training ground is called Short Wave Listening. SWL in fact is also an art. PRADAS is a symbol of silliness and inefficiency. It also contributes to the death of ham radio.
I appreciate those who continue to sit for CW test. I salute them. These are people with courage and positive attitude. Having failed once they made a second try and the third. These are real amateur radio enthusiasts. They fought against all odds. I pray for their success and well being.
I feel very sorry for the more educated and learned hams like doctors and lawyers. To me they jump into the wrong hobby. Yes once it was noble and respectable. It carried the flag of the nation.
What is considered rude ?
1 - Tuning on frequency used by the others
2 - Pressing Morse key on frequency used by others working CW
3- Passing various types of remarks when conversations are done in English
4- Let the kids talk to the mic
5- Deliberately jamming frequency by various means
Malaysians and probably Malaysian hams are known to do all the above. They are making the band dirty and ham radio filthy as well. They talk about policy without reading every word of it. These people kill ham radio and bring filth to it.
29/04/2009 - One of my former students with a call sign said ,"Cikgu, Ham radio is for us to have fun...". I told him that ham radio is something can be treated as serious. It is a national reserve of a kind. During the Malaysian-Indonesian confrontation at least one known ham were taken to Singapore to help in the deciphering of enemy Morse codes. In time of war all modes of communication will be used by a nation. A nation must have enough people with Morse knowledge to intercept all the traffics and decode them.
Ham radio is also an ambassador. It broadcasts the existence of a nation and it's location. At the same it broadcasts the knowledge and culture of a country. When hams from a certain country are rude it is telling the world the nature of the people. The questions asked, the topics discuss and the way hams carry themselves can enhance or bring down the image of a country. Do you think the MCMC ever think about this ?
If you have been a ham for many years you will know which people from what nation could and could not be trusted and you can their characteristics from experiences.
30/04/2009- Many old hams blamed the MCMC for many things. Certainly the authority will fully reject any accusation. Administratively I would say that the MCMC is accountable for any wrongdoing by people using the radio. In some areas the body is also responsible in addition to being accountable. There are many things that we do not agree but we have to carry them out because of our duty and our work. Read what Judge Chan said about judges and executing the laws. He mentioned that he had to hang many people who were found guilty though it is against his will.
I heard a few people said that the MCMC disregard the international convention on a few things. This will likely to happen when people in the MCMC are new to ham radio and are being advised by the very new people who think they are the smart lot. People had been mentioning name like Zol or Zul or Zu. I don't know whether such person exist.
But on the other hand the MCMC may be saying that there is nothing wrong in Malaysian Amateur Radio. Everything goes on fine. In that case there is nothing that we can do. We just wait until things explode and the politicians will throw some people out of the office.
03/05/2009 - Who owns owns amateur radio ? The MCMC does not own amateur radio. It cannot manipulate it as it likes. Neither do the plain Malaysians. We don't own it too. The MCMC administer it, arrange for exams and issue the licenses. The MCMC follows the international convention. But cavemen seem to think they own ham radio and use it as they like and manipulate it to suit their needs. Even a radio society can say that it permits non licensees to operate ham radio on it's repeater. What a shit.

THE STANDARD
The standard is not measured by the quantity but the degree of difficulty. If you open a university and everybody got As in all subjects and the lecturers only know A then people are scared to employ the products. Recently one law lecturer only passed 5 of her students. The university asked her to lower the passing marks or increase the number of passes. She refused. "I have to give the marks they deserved." She resigned.
At times the government sent political persons who passed only MCE to USA to do the Master degree. Many avoided difficult courses like statistics and instead took subjects like takraw, badminton and other non-exam subjects. They came back as lecturers. I can't imagine what kind of lecturers they are. To stay as a lecturer they have to give As.
The lowering of standard will effect the nation in the long run. We start to see organizations with low quality officers making important decisions which can ruin the nation in term of wastage in resources and it brought down the image of the country. If you open a factory, certainly you would be very careful and will make the right choice to choose you officers.
But human being is peculiar. No one will say he is of a low quality person even though he may be illiterate .There is a whole spectrum of such people from the university graduates to the normal illiterates. There may be a positive correlation between attitudes and quality.
On the other hand a good and right attitudes like the willingness to learn and putting effort at work can enhance a person's quality regardless of his educational qualification. Hard work is one of the good work ethics and attitudes. Usually people with the right attitudes will behave well and can be trusted.
People who want everything free and getting things easily don't have the right attitudes. As far as I am concern I would not like to befriend such kind of people.

CB RADIO
The Citizens Band Radio Service is a public, non-commercial service that is available to the general population in our country. CB radio station operates in the 26.965 to 27.405 MHz band or 11 meters with a transmitter power output of 4 watts AM or 12 Watts SSB. But illegally people use higher power.
CB Radio is commonly used when going mobile. When the band condition opens people talk to each other throughout the world. You don't have to sit for any exam to go on CB. CB like the Amateur Radio has the QSL cards and has regular international meeting among members.
Shops that sell amateur radio equipments usually sell the CB radio. But CB is very much cheaper. Buy the name brand like Midland products. While waiting for the band to open you can talk to your local friends provided they too buy the sets.
There are many thousands hand held CB equipments are being deployed by shoppers for shop to shop communication. It is almost free as compared to the hand phone when asking one shop to send a certain supply. By laws people have to register the equipments with the authority but I think no one does it.
Though the CB has it's own code and style of communication yet procedures use by the ham radio operators are being followed too. If you don't like Radio Amateur Examination and Morse Codes then CB is a good choice for you. In USA CBers are also preparing themselves for disaster and emergency communication.
If you are not keen on learning CW then go CB. You will get plenty of information from the internet.

MY NEW SHACK
The computer table shown here was used to be by transceivers but only a few items were seen. The old radio is ICF5900W which is for monitoring the local FM station to know the prayer time, national news and other announcements. The lap top on the right is connected to the internet and the one on the left is for my writing programs. I still write soft wares at 62. But my brain is not as sharp as before. I cannot code complex argument anymore.
I have problem with my male cat which like to piss around the room. The smell is very pungent and I have a very tough time to do the cleaning. I tried to talk to my cat several time hoping it could understand me by the brain wave or God could send my message to her. "Please piss outside the house."
Soon I will be ordering a dozen units of DigitalPersona fingerprint reader for keeping purposes. May be one day later I will need it. I know I can develop several applications with it. I will be waiting for the urge to do it. When it comes, it will take my time off.
In the mean time I just pass my time a little here and there. Now my time on TV has increased. I start to watch Oprah and Big Losses.
Top
NEW TERMINOLOGY
New hams invent their own terminology. Some I have heard but not all others. I am just wondering where they got it from. Then you will hear the new comers blaming the old timers for not teaching them.
We have been hams for a many long years. No one taught us CW, SOP and terminology. We knew all the hams in the country before we get our ticket. Because we have been Short Wave Listeners. We either hunted for communication receivers of used just normal receivers beating it. SWL was SWL. There are SWL magazines. No other name as it is now. Someone told me the authority gave other name to it, not exactly SWL.
Terms that I use to hear was Canopy. Other heard Cot Main, PTT, I only RX. I heard QRX to mean temporary QRT or listening mode when it means something else. People talking in plain language use Tango Kilo ??????? Tango Kilo...? I am sure more new terms will be coming.
Of course not all new comers are happily using those terminology. Many are perfect. Even the perfect ones get head ache and do not know what to do. Now the Ham Crusader is fighting alone. Other old hams are already quitting. The very few existent ones are already tired. They should form a group to support the Ham Crusader and fight for the dignity and sanctity of Amateur Radio. Be proud of Morse codes. Let hams have skills that other radio people don't have.

THE GOOD HEART OF MCMC
MCMC loves ham radio operators because it says ham radio is just a hobby. There is no point stopping people from becoming a radio operators. It is an act of being benevolent and kindness. Why put the pirates or wrong doers in jail or fine them excessively just because of the ardent interest. The MCMC has a good heart.
It is in fact a trend to treat mankind in a humanly manner. Corporal punishments in schools and on criminals are said to be barbaric.
But I just have a different view. There are time to be kind and pitiful. There are people who deserve to be punished or die. The West who condemn barbaric act are continuing to fire rockets every day and Afghanistan. People are killed under the name of terrorists.
If bad people could be killed then bad people should not be given the VIP treatment. Hence the MCMC should take stern actions on the offenders and filter the people to be ham radio operators. When people begin to take advantage of our kindness, they tend to move further and try to gain more ground. They would break rules after rules.
Now the authority says it can't control the hams because of the big volume. Imagine if the police say "We can't control crime because there are too many criminals." The anti-narcotic says, "We can't control because there are too many pushers."
When catastrophe happen everybody will be pointing fingers and blaming each other. Of course the final say will be ,"We don't have enough man power." I am going to list what sort of catastrophe will strike but I believe it will happen one day. Somehow there will be spark which will start the fire. I say this base on the past experience as a ham radio operators. The MCMC did not yet exist then. That's why it does not expect any eventuality.
If the MCMC thinks and say it is merely a hobby then why there must be RAE ( Radio Amateur Examination ). Only less then 1% of the knowledge tested is used. Today people do not construct their own ham radio. They buy them cheaply in the shops.
Ham radio is more than just a hobby. It is an ambassador. It transmits culture and mentality. It can build an image of a country. It can also be an asset to the nation if the hams have enough skills in every aspect of communication. On the other hand it could be a tool to bring down a government or splitting the people. The radio can be used for illegal purposes as well.
If the MCMC seeks the advice of 'telor setengah masak' how to run the show, I feel very sorry indeed.

PAIN TO HIS EARS
Long before me there is another old timer who had moved from Penang to Kuala Lumpur. There are many old hams move places and we don't hear them again due to a certain problems. These people had been very active before.
One of them threw out his hand held into a river after hearing new hams having QSO. That means he decided to give up ham radio for good. But the new hams do not realize their mistakes. They just think the way they talk and what they talk is normal.
Before the demise of active hams, the new generations did not have time to be SWL. Many of the first badge of the new 9Ws started as pirates and broke all the rules in the world. There were stories about smuggling out of radios from factories and police had been hunting people with radios then. When they become hams they were not able to train the next generation.
And when the MCMC took over it did not follow the tradition of the telecom. As many other bosses they always like to invent their own styles and methodology, thinking they are the better.
With all these problems they don't learn ethics and the SOP, terminology and the right usage of the Q-Codes, inventing new things as been mentioned before. How not to be painful to the ears of the person who threw his set in the river.
One of the oldest hams that has been active till recent months is 9M2YP. He would be on the air every now and then calling CQ on CW. It has been almost a year Yee was not heard. But those who gave up had never use aggressive words like I do. They use other excuses.
New hams do not know that transmitting on frequencies used by the others are very rude and disturbing. On HF we knew people pressing their keys when we were working CW. If they are hams to be it is considered the same. But that's what happening. To allow kids to talk and imitating people speaking English is very rude as well.
The common words like to use by the modern generation is 'Biasalah....' Even taking expensive item from hotel as souvenir is considered 'biasalah...'
To me I hate pomposity. Pomposity with wrong ideas on things which are not facts should be shameful. If the knowledge is limited then read first or ask other people whom we respect as knowledgeable. Talking things which are not facts all the way is painful to our ears. He could have just said, "You don't want to hear, switch it off." True, switch our radio off. But the air is being polluted by what is being transmitted. The band is not his. We can talk cock in our own home.
Again you might ask " is everybody doing it ? " One is too many. He is not in CB or in any other radio services. Ham can't afford to have even a few bad eggs. This hobby has been taken by royalties and members of congress and the head of the countries. You do not know to whom you are talking to. Imagine you express your pomposity to a King of Saudi or to a Congressman, wouldn't you create an image of Malaysian ham in his mind ?
Many old hams still want to look at a very high standard of ham radio. Remember it is international in nature not the Kuala Nerang in origin.

SMART GUYS
I have written on this topic time and again and it is somewhere in my web page.
1. Most of my primary school teachers hardly passed LCE or PMR. Those days after passing Standard 4/6 one can be a teacher after a training. Today the primary school teachers who just gone thru MCE are still there. Their students have surpassed them and many became high ranking officers. Many former students respected the teachers and would give them a very VIP treatment when encounter with them. But there are a few among the many who would just pretend not to know them. When talk to them would use "I and you." We heard of someone who even said that he is more qualified than his former teachers now.
One old primary school teacher thank me when I met him. "Why ?" I asked. "Because you remember me and come to me to say hello." That's all that he needed. Not our wealth, money or asking work for his kids.
One university professor accepted someone in his course while registration. Many were rejected. One his colleague told the other applicants "That man must be his teacher...." That professor usually rejected less qualified applicants.
2. A person went to a 3 moths computer course. He told his friends that when he goes back to his work place he would beat the teacher from whom he first started to learn computing. But unfortunately for him he was surprise that teacher's knowledge excel his by a leap and bound.
Why people are arrogance and stubborn with a little knowledge ? The Malay proverb is 'a frog under a coconut shell'. That coconut shell is his world. When he comes out, he feels he is the best, the hero and smartest lot of all. He claims to represent everybody, does things for everybody and stay on that way.
Some people call these people egoistic. Some think they have problem of low self esteem. A self esteem problem will not cause havoc if he can keeps it to himself. But he moves around poking the others. He would feel satisfied if he can get people around him.
Long ago such kind of people was almost nil in ham radio. Ask any very old ham and they would give identical answer "Hamming was fun then.....". Smart people didn't compete and keep their smartness to themselves.

MCMC KATA SUSAH NAK KAWAL HAM RADIO
MCMC berkata ham terlalu ramai dan sukar dikawali. Dalam 4 atau 5 tahun dahulu saya mengesyorkan supaya diadakan satu akta yang berbunyi lebih kurang seperti di bawah :-
Lesen Radio Amatur bukanlah satu hak tetapi satu keistemewaan.
Ia boleh ditarik balik atau tidak diberi tanpa sebarang sebab. Hak
MCMC membuat keputusan tidak boleh dipersoalkan oleh mahkamah.
Kalau dengan akta tersebut dan dengan peralatan MCMC yang canggih, ianya sudah mencukupi sekadar 1 atau 2 orang sahaja dibayar gaji untuk mengesan mereka yang bersalah. Berikan saja kerja itu kepada orang lain. Nescaya pesalah akan didakwa atau lesennya ditarik balik atau dia tidak akan mendapat lesen seumur hidup.
Adakah ini satu kepayahan ? Penyakit pendatang haram, peningkatan jenayah dan kerosakan moral adalah padah dari kata-kata yang megatif.

SOME ADVISE TO YOUNGER HAMS
Young and newer hams do not easily give up ham radio. You put things right. Always remember it is a toy and things to be play with. While it may be entertaining you have to take it seriously. See and think of the philosophy behind it. It is not politics. It is not about competition and show who is smart and who are not.
Because you have not been SWL you tend to make errors which you think are right. You cannot learn from persons who started as pirates or the CB people. Recognize between the PTT and the microphone and know when the PTT is to be used and when not. Listen to the terminology used by the really old hams. There are 9W2s who have been SWL since 1960's. They know the right term and procedures.
Read on the Q-Codes, understand the concept of the plain language and when it is used. Find out more about the ethics and stay away from being rude. Never condemn the usage of English in ham radio.
Forming into groups and detaching away from one another has never been a good practice. You don't compete to show your greatness and formed rival groups.
Never encourage pirates or lend your call sign. Act fast to put down the person who use your call sign or else you will be accused as the accomplice. Tell them to buy radio and be SWL not to buy transmitters. Transmitters is something illegal. Remember if the MCMC cease to be the authority and it being revert back to Telecom or given to the police you can be fined or jail for nothing.
Avoid bad manners. It is not fit for hooligans to be hams.
Go for CW because it will enhance your ability and make you organize yourself in the course of acquiring the skill. It will be useful one day. When you got sore throat or lost your voice you still can be a ham. You also can work with persons of no voice overseas. In time of crisis and poor propagation Morse can help you.
Always try to enhance the dignity and standard of ham radio. As for me I am busy in computer programming now which taxed me a lot. Tell me when things have improved and more than 1/3 has passed their CW exam. I am around in yahoo messenger.

CONGRATULATION 9M2YAS
I have been wanting 9W2YEH and other 9W2s to to be successful in getting the 9M2 tickets for very long time. Their determination and diligent have earned them what they been striving for. I just appreciate the kind of people who are always ready to face challenges and difficulties. 9M2YAS SMS me today ,22/05/2009, informing me of his new call sign.
I am happy for Cikgu Illias and those who have finally earned their reward. And of course I would lie to repeat my reminder that they are carrying Malaysian flags on their shoulders. Don't just jumped international without thinking much of the rules and ethics. remember, you may be talking to somebody who has a high status in society as I have mentioned in the above articles. Think what could embarass them. Some people just don't lie personal questions, some may be able to accept them. We just don't shoot those question as we like
Knowledge on our village or city would help. I heard conversations between two persons talking about the population, occupation, geographical area, the number of schools and hospitals etc. It is good to have those facts handy.
If you shift from SSB to CW and vice versa some hams will be able to catch you on both. he, not only think you are a great ham, but also he will be having a positive concept idea on our nation. As I have said that you are the ambassador of Malaysia.
I heard Perlis is having a Morse class. That is a good news. With Those new 9Ms and 9M2PZ more hams from Perlis would be joining the group. At the same time you will be having problems with already problem people, who will always passed bad remarks on you like you are showing off. Why let the low self esteem people discourage you.
I have always known that Cikgu Illias will get thru his CW because I have been observing his right attitudes for quite some time. Congratulation once again.

PEOPLE ARE TELLING ME
I have closed my ham radio book. But I kept on getting SMS and phone calls pestering me to come on the air. Some informed me of what's happening in their areas. I was told that the Indonesian authority had geared itself to act tough against the pirates and those people selling ham gears to them. At the same time warning the ham operators not to use their gears for commercial activities. I don't know what is in the mind of MCMC about people who lend their call signs to people ( even lending call sign for more than a year ) and those pirates.
I also understand that by September there will be at least one lady who will go CW on the air and will be the Malaysian World Book of Record. But certainly it could be more than one. Let it happens and be recorded in our Malaysian history. This is a fabulous news and please to the ears.
I don't have any rig right now. So I don't know what's going on. Who were on 2 meters and who were not. Likewise I don't know what is happening on HF band either. I am busy with experimenting with mySql server database.
I have yet to talk to new comers who want to work CW on the band. I will try to resolve the alternative for them so that they will enjoy the mode. Probably I have to talk to Manan about it. I also need to hear the mind of the MCMC. Will it moves like what the Indonesian authorities are doing ? Will the MCMC continue to engage any Zol as advisor or consultant ?

EFFORT AND ATTITUDE
Do you know who is 9M2GET ? His former call sign was 9W2LLK. A teacher by profession, Hairi ( radio name ) had work very hard to pass his CW. 9M2MGL inspired him. Today Hairi's wife is working hard herself together with a few other hams, YL and OM, learning this mode.
I have said before that positive attitude, persistence, diligence and not easily giving up hope is a very desirable . I remember in one Olympic a runner never gave up though the athlete was last and far behind time. Spectators waited for the runner to complete the race. People gave the runner standing ovation. People climbed the mountain, fought the rapids and jumped the plane instead of sleeping at home in the air condition room.
The guts and fighting spirit build a person's ability to survive. I am very sure there are many hams with the right attitude. Some are shy to surface for fear of being ridiculed by fellow hams. I have heard this kind of story before.
9M2GET called and apologized that he did not inform me of his new call sign. I told him that I already knew about it. His last word was he hope I will come back to amateur radio.
But I just don't like the cowardice and the trouble makers.

solve this
This is a mathematical challenge, and it's been said that:
If you're an engineer, you should be able to solve it in (under) three
minutes (more like 30 seconds), if you're an architect, in three
hours; if you're a doctor, in six hours; if you're an accountant, in
three months and if you're a lawyer, probably never.
if you're good at math or logical problems, solve this challenge and
the answer is the password to open the spreadsheet to which you can
add your name to the hall of fame.
What is the missing number in this logical series?
1, 2, 6, 42, 1806, ____???
The answer is the password to open the spreadsheet that is attached to
this email. If you figure it out, open the spreadsheet, type your name
in, save it and resend it to your friends.
Good luck
the excel file, you can request to me..i'll send it..

I'm Your's
Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's going to stop me but divine intervention
I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some
I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait, I'm yours
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find love love love love
Listen to the music of the moment babay sing with me
I love peace for melody
And It's our God-forsaken right to be loved love loved love loved
So I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
There's no need to complicate
Our time is short
This is our fate, I'm yours
Scooch on over closer dear
And i will nibble your ear
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror
And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer
But my breath fogged up the glass
And so I drew a new face and laughed
I guess what I'm be saying is there ain't no better reason
To rid yourself of vanity and just go with the seasons
It's what we aim to do
Our name is our virtue
But I won't hesitate no more, no more
It cannot wait I'm sure
Well open up your mind and see like me
Open up your plans and damn you're free
Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours
Please don't, please don't, please don't
There's no need to complicate
Cause our time is short
This oh this this is out fate, I'm yours!

TRIVIA GAJAH
- Mamalia darat terbesar ini boleh mencecah berat bas sekolah, 450 kilogram (kg). Berat ini menyebabkan ia tidur berdiri. Jangka hayatnya antara 80 hingga 100 tahun.
- Gajah tidak tahan panas dan amat suka berendam sama ada dalam air atau lumpur. Telinganya kelihatan seperti kipas berfungsi melancarkan pengaliran darah sekali gus menyejukkan badan.
- Gajah berkomunikasi dengan frekuensi rendah yang hampir tidak dapat dikesan oleh pendengaran manusia. Ini membolehkan ia kembali kepada kumpulannya walaupun dalam hutan tebal.
- Belalai gajah boleh menyedut sehingga 11.5 liter atau tiga gelen air untuk diminum atau disembur ke bahagian badan ketika mandi.
- Haiwan ini hanya tidur kira-kira empat jam sehari dan memerlukan kawasan yang luas untuk bermain dan sebagai sumber makanan. Oleh itu, ia menghasilkan 36kg najis sehari.

Are we humans??
The residents of Pulau Ketam sent some 300 stray dogs to exile on a remote island where the harsh conditions almost certainly guarantee a horrible death. Of the 300 dogs sent there, more than three-quarters are presumed to be already dead. I traveled to the island with Sabrina Yeap of Furry Friends Farm and managed to save only one dog on this reconnaissance trip. We did see several other starving and dying dogs along the mangrove shore.
I am mounting an urgent rescue mission to capture and transport the remaining survivors back to Sabrina's Furry Friends Farm animal shelter. But time is running out and there might be only skeletons and carcasses left to collect on our next trip. Boat hire is expensive there. It is a tourist area and it has already cost me a few hundred ringgit for boat hire alone, so far. The rescued dogs cannot be transported on the regular ferries.
Almost nobody will lift a finger to help without a fee. This is understandable. The locals are already shaking their heads in disbelief that there are outsiders who want to save the animals they so casually discarded. Instead of pointing fingers and antagonising them, we need their co-operation to help save the unfortunate creatures. In the process, we also hope to educate the islanders on better treatment of animals. It would be an impossible mission if we didn't win their hearts.
If you are unable to help directly, please help by forwarding this appeal to other compassionate folks who you feel might be able to make some monetary contributions.
Apart from boat hire, we need money to buy cages, to pay people to help catch them, to hire land transport to send the rescued animals to veterinary clinics, pay for vet fees, send the recovered ones to the shelter and to feed and house them for life. I can go on!
To donate or help, e-mail TV Smith at tvsmith@mycen.com.my or Sabrina Yeap at yeapwen@yahoo.com
Fellow bloggers, you can also help by embedding the appeal poster above to your blog and linking to (this page)
We are aware it is a monumental task and appreciate all forms of support, assistance, suggestions, encouragement and your prayers.
Thank you and don't forget to view the pictures of the dogs in order to appreciate their plight.

11 Step program for pre-parents
this post are specially for my friends whose about to get their babies preetty soon..but to the ones who jez got their's, gud luck!!...a baby is a god given gift!!!
Thinking of Having Kids? Do this 11 step program first!
Lesson 1
1. Go to the grocery store.
2. Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head office.
3. Go home.
4. Pick up the newspaper.
5. Read it for the last time.
Lesson 2
Before you finally go ahead and have children, find a couple who already are parents and be rate them about their:
1. Methods of discipline.
2. Lack of patience.
3. Appallingly low tolerance levels.
4. Allowing their children to run wild.
5. Suggest ways in which they might improve their child's breast feeding, sleep habits, toilet training, table manners, and overall behaviour.
Enjoy it because it will be the last time in your life you will have all the answers.
Lesson 3
A really good way to discover how the nights might feel:
1. Get home from work and immediately begin walking around the living room from 5PM to 10PM carrying a wet bag weighing approximately 8-12 pounds, with a radio turned to static (or some other obnoxious sound) playing loudly. (Eat cold food with one hand for dinner)
2. At 10PM, put the bag gently down, set the alarm for midnight, and go to sleep.
3. Get up at 12 and walk around the living room again, with the bag, until 1AM.
4. Set the alarm for 3AM.
5. As you can't get back to sleep, get up at 2AM and make a drink and watch an infomercial.
6. Go to bed at 2:45AM.
7. Get up at 3AM when the alarm goes off.
8. Sing songs quietly in the dark until 4AM.
9. Get up. Make breakfast. Get ready for work and go to work (work hard and be productive)
Repeat steps 1-9 each night. Keep this up for 3-5 years. Look cheerful and together.
Lesson 4
Can you stand the mess children make? To find out:
1. Smear peanut butter onto the sofa and jam onto the curtains.
2. Hide a piece of raw chicken behind the stereo and leave it there all summer.
3. Stick your fingers in the flower bed.
4. Then rub them on the clean walls.
5. Take your favorite book, photo album, etc. Wreck it.
6. Spill milk on your new pillows. Cover the stains with crayons. How does that look?
Lesson 5
Dressing small children is not as easy as it seems.
1. Buy an octopus and a small bag made out of loose mesh.
2. Attempt to put the octopus into the bag so that none of the arms hang out.
Time allowed for this all morning.
Lesson 6
Forget the BMW and buy a mini-van. And don't think that you can leave it out in the driveway spotless and shining. Family cars don't look like that.
1. Buy a chocolate ice cream cone and put it in the glove compartment. Leave it there.
2. Get a dime. Stick it in the CD player.
3. Take a family size package of chocolate cookies. Mash them into the back seat. Sprinkle cheerios all over the floor, then smash them with your foot.
4. Run a garden rake along both sides of the car.
Lesson 7
1. Go to the local grocery store. Take with you a full-grown goat is an excellent choice
2. If you intend to have more than one child, then definitely take more than one goat.
3. Buy your week's groceries without letting the goats out of your sight.
4. Pay for everything the goat eats or destroys.
Until you can easily accomplish this, do not even contemplate having children.
Lesson 8
1. Hollow out a melon.
2. Make a small hole in the side.
3. Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side.
4. Now get a bowl of soggy Cheerios and attempt to spoon them into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane.
5. Continue until half the Cheerios are gone.
6. Tip half into your lap. The other half, just throw up in the air.
You are now ready to feed a nine- month-old baby.
Lesson 9
1. Learn the names of every character from , Barney, Disney, the Teletubbies and Pokemon.
2. Watch nothing else on TV but PBS, the Disney channel or Noggin for at least five years.
I know, you're thinking What's 'Noggin'? Exactly the point.
Lesson 10
1. Make a recording of Fran Drescher saying 'mommy' repeatedly. (Important: no more than a four second delay between each 'mommy'; occasional crescendo to the level of a supersonic jet is required).
2. Play this tape in your car everywhere you go for the next four years.
You are now ready to take a long trip with a toddler.
Lesson 11
1. Start talking to an adult of your choice.
2. Have someone else continually tugon your skirt hem, shirt- sleeve, or elbow while playing the 'mommy' tape made from Lesson 10 above.
You are now ready to have a conversation with an adult while there is a child in the room.
This is all very tongue in cheek; anyone who is parent will say 'it's all worth it!' Share it with your friends, both those who do and don't have kids. I guarantee they'll get a chuckle out of it. Remember, a sense of humour is one of the most important things you need as a parent!
Thinking of Having Kids? Do this 11 step program first!
Lesson 1
1. Go to the grocery store.
2. Arrange to have your salary paid directly to their head office.

Until you can easily accomplish this, do not even contemplate having children.
Lesson 8
1. Hollow out a melon.
2. Make a small hole in the side.
3. Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side.
4. Now get a bowl of soggy Cheerios and attempt to spoon them into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane.
5. Continue until half the Cheerios are gone.
6. Tip half into your lap. The other half, just throw up in the air.
You are now ready to feed a nine- month-old baby.
Lesson 9
1. Learn the names of every character from , Barney, Disney, the Teletubbies and Pokemon.
2. Watch nothing else on TV but PBS, the Disney channel or Noggin for at least five years.
I know, you're thinking What's 'Noggin'? Exactly the point.
Lesson 10
1. Make a recording of Fran Drescher saying 'mommy' repeatedly. (Important: no more than a four second delay between each 'mommy'; occasional crescendo to the level of a supersonic jet is required).
2. Play this tape in your car everywhere you go for the next four years.
You are now ready to take a long trip with a toddler.
Lesson 11
1. Start talking to an adult of your choice.
2. Have someone else continually tugon your skirt hem, shirt- sleeve, or elbow while playing the 'mommy' tape made from Lesson 10 above.
You are now ready to have a conversation with an adult while there is a child in the room.
This is all very tongue in cheek; anyone who is parent will say 'it's all worth it!' Share it with your friends, both those who do and don't have kids. I guarantee they'll get a chuckle out of it. Remember, a sense of humour is one of the most important things you need as a parent!

8 Days and counting..
Its been a while since i'm able to blog..bukan takmo, but my power to handle the internet proxy is not there...so terima jerk la...they suddenly block mostly everything...including GOOGLE!!!... bodoh betul la...penakut!!or the IT team nie tak adventurous kot...
i still remember i was so eager to reach my feet to bumi Kuching once again...the last time i was here was last year...its a family vacation for 4 days...i can still remember it...but this time, was another trip, and another purpose...WORK!!
haiya,...on the 7th April, i took the ERL from KL Sentral to KLIA. My flight was at 1400 using MH2596. It took me approximately 20-30 minutes to reach KLIA. I didn't even realized i was there coz i was busy reading Macheda in the papers...hail Kiko!!!
after checking in for my tickets, i went to have my branch coz i wasn't expecting a great lunch on flight. I ate around 12.30 pm at the cafeteria in level 2. After that i suddenly had the crave of Snikers bar.. hmm i donno why...i was searching here and there for it and i couldn't find any..i was kinda dissapointed. I don't want to replace it with Mars.. so i decided to go straight to the waiting bay.. While walking there, i saw this grocery shop. There it was...SNICKERS!!!! but the price was RM 4.30.. wow!! mahal nyer!!..nevermind, i follow my stomach this time..
at around 2:15pm, the plane was departuring.. i reached kuching at around 3:50pm
After that, i immediately called my colleague from the bank to take the cab together since we are staying at the same hotel. It cost us rm 22 for one way from the airport to the hotel. Hotel Grand Magherita, along the Kuching Waterfront..After checking in..i realized that i'm staying alone in that big room..yeay!!!
After resting for about 30 minutes, we (about 4 people) crossed over the river to have our dinner. We ate ikan siakap bakar, nasi ayam penyek, mee kolok..After the dinner, we went straight to the Bank coz our work starts at 7:00pm
after that...at around 4:30 am we finished our work and we went straight to the hotel for our rest.
the next morning (8/04/09), my bos fly in from Singapore. Around 11am i was already there at the bank...doing nothing!!! what a waste of time!!!..in the evening we went for our dinner again across the river..but this time..we ate a lot
ketam, ikan siakap, ikan kerapu, sotong, tomyam, telur dadar, sayur midin belacan..
the next day (9/04/09), its the big day...exactly at 7:00pm we started our work..migration of the new Virtual Call Center servers for R** Bank in Jalan Kulas...
I started my task at about 10 pm. at 11:30pm, the host at Bangi was ready for 30 minutes...and we did all the test needed.. Yeay!! everything ran smoothly...i was very happy!!!
I took the early shift and my bos went back to the hotel. We decided to watch Transporter 3 using the projector inside the lounge just to waste our time.. at around 11am i went back to the hotel to have my rest after my bos came in for the next shift.
i immediately felt asleep after reaching the bed..
10/4/09- at around 5pm, i got a call from my bos stating that the server is having a problem..SHIT!!!...but at that time, i couldn't be bothered as i was totally tired and i know he is on site to solve it..
around 7:45pm we went for dinner sponsored by the branch manager.. Again we ate ikan kerapu, midin belacan, udang galah, ketam, tomyam...huhu
11/4/09 - the server is down again...SHIT!!!
12/4/09 - my flight was postponed to unknown date. I extended my stay till the next day.. Problem still not solved..
13/4/09 - my flight was again postponed.. Again i extended my stay.. but this time, i managed to do some investigation, and found out that there is a virus attacking the server, resulting the server to have a downtime every 12 hours..
14/4/09 - my flight was again postponed...again i extended my stay..
Remarks
I was banged by those stupid buggers from the project managers from the bank...They couldn't accept in the first place when i told them that there is something fishy in their firewall...they kept on denying it..budak kecik nie mana tau apa...sekarang..when the shit pointed back to them...still no answer from their side...bloody hell!!!
hey, if you dont know technical stuffs in the first place..dont even dare to argue laa....and the most important thing is ...DONT EVEN MANAGE LA!!!!!
p/s: now i'm not so eager to stay here in Kuching... Aku nak balik!!!!!!

Reaching the stars??
Yesterday was my birthday...i clock'd quarter abad ( abad = english ??) ...i'm feeling older...i can still remember the days when i said.."dah 25 kau nie...tua nyer"...yikes, now it strikes me ....
I spent the day with her...yeah...usually i'll be spending my time with my family, but this time i'm spending my time with her...
While at work in Menara AA (besides Menara Time in Jln Tun Razak) struggling to finish the IVR server migration, around 2.45pm i got a call from an unknown id.. " Encik, boleh buka pintu depan nie tak? Saya ada kat tingkat 6, nak hantar barang untuk encik".. i was like...What??
To my surprise, it was a basket of flowers, a cute monkey, and a box of chocolate...stated there "From your one & only"...so sweet... yikes!!
i quickly called her up to say thanks for the gift...
After work, i picked her up at Station Putra Komuter and head straight to Pavillion for our dinner...
We had dinner at TGI Friday's Pavillion.. We had Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Quesadilla for starters
and i had Sizzling Chicken and Shrimp while she had Jack Daniel's® Burger
We took a few pix (actually a lot) (i'll upload it later when i'm able to have proper internet access without all the firewall blockings)....
then comes the finale, the cake!!!
well, first there was the cake treat from TGI (thanx a lot, even though i had to stand on the stool n gave my speech)...it was a cheese cake...i even had to blew the candle from far...
then, we took a few pix of ourselves...before taking the picture of the lovely cake....
it was a cake courtesy of Bloomingcake ( Cake sponsors for most of the top artist in Malaysia)...somehow i felt like i'm an artist...hihi
it was a Paintball Mask designed cake...i'm not sure which brand it was, but it was a paintball mask cake!!!
If anyone would like a custom made cake to their likings, you can ask me..i'll get you through the owner himself...
Happy 25th Birthday Nadzmi....

Who Authored the Quran?
Who authored the Quran? Someone must have produced it! After all, how many desert men have stood up in the history of man and given the world a book like the Quran? The book has amazing details of past nations, prophets, and religions as well as accurate scientific information unavailable at the time. What was the source of all this? If we were to deny the divine origin of the Quran, we are left with only a few possibilities:
- The Prophet Muhammad authored it himself.
- He took it from someone else. In this case, he either took it from a Jew or a Christian or one of the foreigners in Arabia. The Meccans did not bother to accuse him of having taken it from one of them.
A brief response from God is:
“And they say, ‘Legends of the former peoples which he has written down, and they are dictated to him morning and afternoon.’ Say, [O Muhammad], ‘It has been revealed by He who knows [every] secret within the heavens and the earth. Indeed, He is ever Forgiving and Merciful.’” (Quran 25:5-6)
It was well known to his detractors that Muhammad, who was raised among them, never learned how to read or write from the time of his birth. They knew whom he befriended and where he had traveled; they acknowledged his integrity and honesty by calling him ‘Al-Ameen,’ the Reliable, the Trustworthy, the Honest.[1] Only in their revulsion against his preaching did they accuse him – and then it was anything they could dream up: He was accused of being a sorcerer, a poet and even an imposter! They could not make up their minds. God says:
“Look how they strike for you comparisons; but they have strayed, so they cannot [find] a way.” (Quran 17:47)
Simply, God is aware of what is in the heavens and the earth, He knows the past and the present, and reveals the truth to His prophet.
Could Muhammad Have Authored It?
It is impossible that Muhammad could have authored the Quran due to the following reasons:
First, several occasions presented themselves where he could have fabricated revelation. For example, after the first revelation came, people awaited to hear more, but the Prophet did not receive anything new for months. The Meccans began making fun of him, ‘His Lord has abandoned him!’ This continued until the 93rd chapter, Ad-Doha, was revealed. The Prophet could have compiled something and presented it as the latest revelation to end the mockery, but he did not. Also, at one point during his prophethood, some of the hypocrites accused his beloved wife Aisha of being unchaste. The Prophet could have easily fabricated something to free her of blame, but he waited for many excruciating days, all spent in pain, mockery, and anguish, until revelation came from God freeing her from the accusation.
Second, there is internal evidence within the Quran that Muhammad was not its author. Several verses criticized him, and were on occasion strongly worded. How can an imposter prophet blame himself when it may run him into the danger of losing the respect, perhaps following, of his followers? Here are some examples:
“O Prophet! Why do you prohibit [yourself from] what God has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And God is Forgiving and Merciful.” (Quran 66:1)
“…while you concealed within yourself that which God is to disclose and you feared the people, while God has more right that you fear Him..” (Quran 33:43)
“It is not for the Prophet and those who have believed to ask forgiveness for the polytheists, even if they were relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are companions of Hellfire.” (Quran 9:113)
“But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge] while he fears [God], from him you are distracted. No! Indeed, they [these verses] are a reminder.” (Quran 80:8-11)
If he were to hide anything, he would have hid these verses, but he recited them faithfully.
“And he [Muhammad] is not a withholder of [knowledge of] the unseen. And it [the Quran] is not the word of a devil, expelled [from the heavens]. So where are you going? It is nothing but a reminder to the worlds.” (Quran 81:24-27)
The Prophet is cautioned, perhaps warned, in the following verses:
“Indeed, We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth so you may judge between the people by that which God has shown you. And do not be an advocate for the deceitful. And seek forgiveness of God. Indeed, God is ever Forgiving and Merciful. And do not argue on behalf of those who deceive themselves. Indeed, God loves not the one who is a habitually sinful deceiver. They conceal [their evil intentions and deeds] from the people, but they cannot conceal [them] from God, and He is with them [in His knowledge] when they spend the night in such as He does not accept of speech. And God ever is encompassing of what they do,. Here you are – those who argue on their behalf in [this] worldly life – but who will argue with God for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will [then] be their representative? And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness of God will find God Forgiving and Merciful. And whoever earns [i.e., commits] a sin only earns it against himself. And God is ever Knowing and Wise. But whoever earns an offense or a sin and then blames it on an innocent [person] has taken upon himself slander and manifest sin. And if it was not for the favor of God upon you, [O Muhammad], and His mercy, a group of them would have determined to mislead you. But they do not mislead except themselves, and they will not harm you at all. And God has revealed to you the Book and wisdom and has taught you that which you did not know. And ever has the favor of God upon you been great.” (Quran 4:105-113)
These verses explain a situation in which a man from the Muslim inhabitants of Medina stole a piece of armor and hid it in the property of his Jewish neighbor. When the owners of the armor caught up with him he denied any wrongdoing, and the armor was discovered with the Jewish man. He, however, pointed to his Muslim neighbor, also denying his involvement in the crime. The people from the Muslim’s tribe went to the Prophet to plead on his behalf, and the Prophet began to incline towards them till the above verses were revealed clearing the Jewish man of wrongdoing. All this despite the Jew’s rejection of Muhammad’s prophethood! The verses instructed Prophet Muhammad himself not to side with the deceitful! The verses:
“…and do not be an advocate for the deceitful and seek forgiveness of God…and if it was not for the favor of God upon you, [O Muhammad], and His mercy, a group of them would have determined to mislead you.”
If Muhammad himself authored the Quran, thus being a lying imposter, he would have made sure that there was nothing in existence which could jeopardize the gaining of followers and supporters. The fact that the Quran, on various occasions, reprimands the Prophet in certain issues in which he had made in incorrect judgment is in itself a proof that it was not authored by him.

A thought...circulated through the internet
[assalamulaikum wbt. ingin berkongsi satu forwaded emel yg saya dpt. Boleh menjadi satu tazkirah (peringatan) yg baik utk kita yg sentiasa berada di 'zon selesa'. Mungkin ada yg pernah baca, tapi anggaplah ini sbg peringatan kedua].
Andai Malaysia diserang seperti negara Islam yang lain….
Apabila negara-negara Islam yang lain dilanda peperangan atau diserang oleh askar kafir….. kita sering mendengar pemimpin-2 kita menggunakan modal seperti ini..” Kita patut bersyukur Malaysia aman dan damai….” Tetapi pernahkah kita berfikir untuk sejenak, sejarah ditulis setelah ia berlaku, tetapi sejarah tidak dapat diramal ketika ia sedang berlaku. Ketika rakyat Islam Bosnia disembelih oleh paramilitari Serb, pada malam sebelumnya mereka hidup seperti biasa dan tidak pernah terlintas bahawa keesokan harinya akan bermulanya hari celaka bagi mereka. Jadi, untuk sejenak cuber kiter berfikir dalam bentuk reverse engineering iaitu: Bagaimana jika kita yang diserang oleh kuasa kuffar seperti negara Islam lain, dan negara Islam yang lain plak jadik cam kiter?
MALAYSIA DISERANG ???
untuk menanam kesedaran ke atas Melayu Yang Mudah Lupa.
(Melayu Mudah Lupa kata Mahathir)
AMARIKOS menyatakan Malaysia sarang pengganas.. ada pejuang Hizbullah terlepas ke malaysia …lalu menghantar Kapal Pengangkut Pesawatnya (CARRIER) di Selat Melaka dan di Laut China Selatan. Menghantar kapal selam nuklearnya dgn muatan peluru berpandu membawa armada tentera untuk menyerang malaysia …
AMARIKOS menyuruh negara berhampiran dengan Malaysia yang merupakan sekutu rapatnya SINGOFURO di selatan, TAHAILAND di Utara dan PILLIPINNOS di Timur menenyerang Malaysia dengan alasan memburu pengganas al-Qaeda atau Hizbullah sama seperti alasan Israel menyerang Lubnan dan Palestin.
Walaupun Malaysia cakap Malaysia negara bebas pengganas tentera Kuffar tetap menyerang malaysia jugak sama seperti mereka menyerang Iraq kerana mereka dakwa Iraq ada senjata pemusnah, Afghanistan ada Pengganas Taliban, Lubnan ada Pengganas Hibullah dan Malaysia ada Pengganas Jemaah Islamiah.
Malaysia tetap mempertahankan Malaysia ini tidak ada pengganas tetapi suara kita tidak dihiraukan sama seperti mereka tidak hiraukan Afghanistan , Iraq , Lubnan dan Palestin.
Sebelum tiba saat MALAYSIA DISERANG ini Perdana Menteri kita… YB Wakil Rakyat… Parlimen dan ADUN… Tauke-tauke Cina yang kaya… semua cabut lari ke keluar negara dengan jet dan pesawat peribadi masing-masing. Mereka ada duit untuk cari perlindungan di luar negara.
Tinggallah rakyat Melayu Islam yang miskin hina ini di negara sendiri, menunggu masa untuk diserang oleh tentera Kuffar AMARIKOS dan sekutunya. Barulah rakyat tahu bahawa pemimpin Melayu dan tauke cina yang dijadikan pepimpin sebelum ini tidak sama seperti Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab… Khalifah Ali Abi Thalib… Khalifah Khalid Al-Walid… Khalifah Salahuddin Al-Ayubbi… yang sanggup berada dibarisan hadapan berdepan musuh-musuh Islam.
SAAT Peperangan bermula….
Tempat yang mula-mula sekali dibom adalah Putrajaya, diikuti negeri-negeri lain. AMARIKOS dan Sekutunya mengebom…melancar peluru berpandu… membedil…menembak Rakyat Malaysia…mereka membunuh Orang tua… perempuan dan Anak-anak kecil orang melayu islam kita…sama seperti Yahudi menembak dan membunuh rakyat Lubnan yang tak berdosa!!!

ANDA MENGHARAPKAN BANTUAN TENTERA JIHAD FI SABILILLAH DARIPADA INDONESIA, SELATAN THAILAND, BANGLADESH, PAKISTAN,DAN NEGARA OIC YANG LAINNNNNN…..BAGI MELAWAN TENTERA PENCEROBOH BUMI MALAYSIA INI……

ANDA TERDENGAR UCAPAN DARIPADA PEMIMPIN DUNIA ISLAM YANG LAIN menyatakan:

“Kami akan menghantar 10 000 Tentera pengaman ke MALAYSIA selepas tamat perang nanti…setelah habis kawasan Malaysia dibom oleh tentera bersekutu”(Presiden NAM )
“Alhamdulillah… Negara kita Indonesia aman damai berbanding dengan negara Malaysia yang dilanda peperangan…Kita semua patut bersyukur… kita dapat menyambut hari raya aidilfitri dan deepavali dalam suasana yang aman harmoni”, Presiden Indonesia- Negara Umat Islam paling ramai. (Pemimpin Malaysia selalu sebut camni)
“Tak apa… selepas peperangan tamat… Kami akan menghantar para pendakwah ke Malaysia untuk mendidik rakyat Malaysia ” Wakil Penduduk Islam Selatan Thailand )
“Kami akan menghantar bekalan makanan dan ubatan kepada Penduduk Islam Malaysia yang dilanda peperangan” Pemimpin Arab Saudi)..bagi komen dan pendapat…

fikir-fikirkan….
do your part now..
every second counts...
Andai Malaysia diserang seperti negara Islam yang lain….
Apabila negara-negara Islam yang lain dilanda peperangan atau diserang oleh askar kafir….. kita sering mendengar pemimpin-2 kita menggunakan modal seperti ini..” Kita patut bersyukur Malaysia aman dan damai….” Tetapi pernahkah kita berfikir untuk sejenak, sejarah ditulis setelah ia berlaku, tetapi sejarah tidak dapat diramal ketika ia sedang berlaku. Ketika rakyat Islam Bosnia disembelih oleh paramilitari Serb, pada malam sebelumnya mereka hidup seperti biasa dan tidak pernah terlintas bahawa keesokan harinya akan bermulanya hari celaka bagi mereka. Jadi, untuk sejenak cuber kiter berfikir dalam bentuk reverse engineering iaitu: Bagaimana jika kita yang diserang oleh kuasa kuffar seperti negara Islam lain, dan negara Islam yang lain plak jadik cam kiter?
MALAYSIA DISERANG ???
untuk menanam kesedaran ke atas Melayu Yang Mudah Lupa.
(Melayu Mudah Lupa kata Mahathir)
AMARIKOS menyatakan Malaysia sarang pengganas.. ada pejuang Hizbullah terlepas ke malaysia …lalu menghantar Kapal Pengangkut Pesawatnya (CARRIER) di Selat Melaka dan di Laut China Selatan. Menghantar kapal selam nuklearnya dgn muatan peluru berpandu membawa armada tentera untuk menyerang malaysia …
AMARIKOS menyuruh negara berhampiran dengan Malaysia yang merupakan sekutu rapatnya SINGOFURO di selatan, TAHAILAND di Utara dan PILLIPINNOS di Timur menenyerang Malaysia dengan alasan memburu pengganas al-Qaeda atau Hizbullah sama seperti alasan Israel menyerang Lubnan dan Palestin.
Walaupun Malaysia cakap Malaysia negara bebas pengganas tentera Kuffar tetap menyerang malaysia jugak sama seperti mereka menyerang Iraq kerana mereka dakwa Iraq ada senjata pemusnah, Afghanistan ada Pengganas Taliban, Lubnan ada Pengganas Hibullah dan Malaysia ada Pengganas Jemaah Islamiah.
Malaysia tetap mempertahankan Malaysia ini tidak ada pengganas tetapi suara kita tidak dihiraukan sama seperti mereka tidak hiraukan Afghanistan , Iraq , Lubnan dan Palestin.
Sebelum tiba saat MALAYSIA DISERANG ini Perdana Menteri kita… YB Wakil Rakyat… Parlimen dan ADUN… Tauke-tauke Cina yang kaya… semua cabut lari ke keluar negara dengan jet dan pesawat peribadi masing-masing. Mereka ada duit untuk cari perlindungan di luar negara.
Tinggallah rakyat Melayu Islam yang miskin hina ini di negara sendiri, menunggu masa untuk diserang oleh tentera Kuffar AMARIKOS dan sekutunya. Barulah rakyat tahu bahawa pemimpin Melayu dan tauke cina yang dijadikan pepimpin sebelum ini tidak sama seperti Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab… Khalifah Ali Abi Thalib… Khalifah Khalid Al-Walid… Khalifah Salahuddin Al-Ayubbi… yang sanggup berada dibarisan hadapan berdepan musuh-musuh Islam.
SAAT Peperangan bermula….
Tempat yang mula-mula sekali dibom adalah Putrajaya, diikuti negeri-negeri lain. AMARIKOS dan Sekutunya mengebom…melancar peluru berpandu… membedil…menembak Rakyat Malaysia…mereka membunuh Orang tua… perempuan dan Anak-anak kecil orang melayu islam kita…sama seperti Yahudi menembak dan membunuh rakyat Lubnan yang tak berdosa!!!
AMARIKOS dan sekutunya menyerang MALAYSIA secara besar-besaran. Apabila selesai pesawat pejuang di Selat Melaka mengebom Perlis, Kedah, Pulau Pinang, Perak, Selangor dan Kuala Lumpur . Datang lagi pesawat musuh silih berganti…..
Apabila selesai pesawat pejuang di laut China Selatan mengebom Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang….datang lagi pesawat musuh silih berganti….
Johor pula dibedil dengan peluru berpandu jarak sederhana SINGOFURO… diserang dengan jet-jet pejuang SINGOFURO yang sentiasa melalui ruang udaranya… menghujani bom-bom dan roket…kemudian Johor dan negeri sembilan dapat ditawan tentera musuh.
Anda di berada di Kedah….Pasukan Darat tentera Bersekutu mara dari bahagian Utara…tentera bersekutu semakin dekat dengan rumah anda… menentang pintu rumah anda….anda bersama dengan Isteri yang sarat mengandung dan 3 orang anak ketakutan dalam rumah…

Facebook - the CIA conspiracy
By Matt Greenop
American Dad's conspiracy coverage could benefit from a flick through the Facebook.
American Dad's conspiracy coverage could benefit from a flick through the Facebook.
Web 2.0
* ISPs tread risky path with new rules on piracy
* Teens hide sex, boozing after busybody's MySpace visit
Facebook has 20 million users worldwide, is worth billions of dollars and, if internet sources are to be believed, was started by the CIA.
The social networking phenomenon started as a way of American college students to keep in touch. It is rapidly catching up with MySpace, and has left others like Bebo in its wake.
But there is a dark side to the success story that's been spreading across the blogosphere. A complex but riveting Big Brother-type conspiracy theory which links Facebook to the CIA and the US Department of Defence.
The CIA is, though, using a Facebook group to recruit staff for its very sexy sounding National Clandestine Service.
Checking out the job ads does require a Facebook login, so if you haven't joined the site - or are worried that CIA spooks will start following you home from work -check them out on the agency's own site.
The story starts once Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg had launched, after the dorm room drama that's led to the current court case.
Facebook's first round of venture capital funding ($US500,000) came from former Paypal CEO Peter Thiel. Author of anti-multicultural tome 'The Diversity Myth', he is also on the board of radical conservative group VanguardPAC.
The second round of funding into Facebook ($US12.7 million) came from venture capital firm Accel Partners. Its manager James Breyer was formerly chairman of the National Venture Capital Association, and served on the board with Gilman Louie, CEO of In-Q-Tel, a venture capital firm established by the Central Intelligence Agency in 1999. One of the company's key areas of expertise are in "data mining technologies".
Breyer also served on the board of R&D firm BBN Technologies, which was one of those companies responsible for the rise of the internet.
Dr Anita Jones joined the firm, which included Gilman Louie. She had also served on the In-Q-Tel's board, and had been director of Defence Research and Engineering for the US Department of Defence.
She was also an adviser to the Secretary of Defence and overseeing the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which is responsible for high-tech, high-end development.
It was when a journalist lifted the lid on the DARPA's
Information Awareness Office that the public began to show concern at its information mining projects.
Wikipedia's IAO page says: "the IAO has the stated mission to gather as much information as possible about everyone, in a centralised location, for easy perusal by the United States government, including (though not limited to) internet activity, credit card purchase histories, airline ticket purchases, car rentals, medical records, educational transcripts, driver's licenses, utility bills, tax returns, and any other available data.".
Not surprisingly, the backlash from civil libertarians led to a Congressional investigation into DARPA's activity, the Information Awareness Office lost its funding.
Now the internet conspiracy theorists are citing Facebook as the IAO's new mask.
Parts of the IAO's technology round-up included 'human network analysis and behaviour model building engines', which Facebook's massive volume of neatly-targeted data gathering allows for.
Facebook's own Terms of use state: "by posting Member Content to any part of the Web site, you automatically grant, and you represent and warrant that you have the right to grant, to facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license to use, copy, perform, display, reformat, translate, excerpt and distribute such information and content and to prepare derivative works of, or incorpoate into other works, such information and content, and to grant and authorise sublicenses of the foregoing.
And in its equally interesting privacy policy: "Facebook may also collect information about you from other sources, such as newspapers, blogs, instant messaging services, and other users of the Facebook service through the operation of the service (eg. photo tags) in order to provide you with more useful information and a more personalised experience. By using Facebook, you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States."
Is the CIA really providing the impetus and the funding behind the monster growth of this year's biggest dot com success story? Maybe only the men with the nice suits and ear pieces can answer that.
