Once, We Hold The Record For Years

Salam to everyone, welcome to new Islamic Year. Greek year? Not that important.

Today, my younger brother went to our school to receive his PMR result. Alhamdulillah, he made it. He scored full flush 8As, as we only allowed to cater 8 subjects for PMR.

For years, my friend and I managed to hold a 6 years top performance school (SBP) in PMR result with our 90.2% of straight As. And, this year, the school has successfully done their job and they managed to break the school own record, but it is just not enough to beat the rest. Other schools have step further up and manage to score with better percentage. Who? I will not disclose them here.

Underpaid Freelancer and Those Who Bring Down The Market

From my personal view and observation, I would like to say that web designer freelancer does grow big from day to day. It was like the mushrooms after a rainy day. The pop out here and there, selling their skills to build a website, but not necessarily the whole package, perhaps, just a design or some coding work.

With this situation on the market, clients seem to overlook those good freelancer and offer them a really low price. A price where it is only sufficient to build one plain HTML page, and nothing more. But, they asked for something as big and awesome as social site or heavy influence of professional site browsing experience. All these feature cost the developers creative thinking, his intelligence copyright and hard work just to make sure the project that they working on, is up to the optimum level, the best of the best.

I’m back to Miri and no more of GeoRaya

Malaysia Airlines : Kuching - Miri

Alhamdulillah, I safely back in Miri after a week of field work in Kuching. I guess, there are a lot of things I need to catch up but we’ll see how. Tests are getting near, every week. Tutorials, reports, assignments. Anyhoo, the trip in Kuching was not bad at all. Maybe we’re lacking of time, thus were not able to uncover the nice places to visit over there. Maybe next time. Insyallah.

Something That I love To Do When I Was A Kid : Playing Kite

Borneo International Kite Festival 2009 - Terrick

When I was a little kid, my brother and I used to create our own kites. From coconut leaves (what is Lidi in English?), if lucky, we’re using bamboo. These are the essential backbone of the kite. Threads from mom’s sewing kit and newspaper or huge plastic bag as the body of the kite.

Merdeka 2009 – 1 Malaysia (Wallpaper)

Today is officially 1st August, 2009. Like always, Malaysian will celebrate their 52th Independence Day on upcoming 31st August. Thus, in conjunction with the upcoming event, I designed a few wallpapers entitle “1 Malaysia” (one Malaysia) and they are free for download.

A bit of history, Malaysia achieved its independence day on 8th of February 1956, a year before it is officially announced by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj on 31st August, 1957 at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium) in Kuala Lumpur. However, Sabah and Sarawak joined the Federation of Malaysia on 16th September, 1963.
