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.

It Has Been 3 years I’m in Miri

MAS Ticket to Miri

I would like to break the ‘geek’ mood today and this post will be a bit of emotional (don’t worry, not going to be a pathetical emotional entry).

It was 12th of August, year 2006. That was the date of my flight to Miri. On the plane, I was sitting next to one of my kakak, TC and next to Seqam (Johan Iskandar).

It has been 3 years since the first time i stepped my feet on this new land of mine, Miri (located in Sarawak, in case some people thought it is in Sabah). Personally, I have been living in the same house, the same room since I got here and it is feels like home to me now. Through the 3 years of journey, a lot of things happened and every bit of them have gotten us stronger and more matured.

*breath in. breath out. Fuh~

If I story to you everything that happened though out the years this entry will get pretty long. Nope. Very long indeed. Therefore, I’ll put photos just to refresh the memories

WordPress Theme Phaseo and AbdusFauzi.com 1st Year Anniversary

Phaseo

Today, July 26th 2009 is the anniversary of Abdusfauzi.com and I am here to announce the private release of my new Wordpress Theme, code name Phaseo. The development of this theme is a new experience for me.

Phaseo took the shortest time to be designed, sliced, xhtml-ed, css-ed and debugged when compared to my other graphic-centric Wordpress theme. The idea came since last semester while I was blog-hopping. The design process took me only 2 days — a paper sketch plus illustrated on the laptop. However it took me 3-4 days for coding. A total around a week of less. Like always, my Wordpress theme will be focus on the design of the header.

Tickets and Bills collected. Right click, and open on new window / tab for higher resolution.

At first, I planned not to go back to Shah Alam for my winter break. However my mom insisted. I went back to Shah Alam on 23rd June 2009.

It was my new experience of holiday. I went to Hill’s house and watch malay drama with her family until midnight. I did everything without plan. Haha. I was nearby her place, and in seconds I was on phone with her and asked her if I can meet her. LOL.

Second Year, First Semester

Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim.

Introduction

Today, I would like to review my whole semester as a 2nd Year, 1st Semester Applied Geology student. I would rather say, I’ve learn a lot this semester, and mainly not subjected to academic knowledge, but rather the proof of nature.

Ok, before I started to write a very long post, I realised that people won’t actually read it, and therefore, readers won’t have the idea of the post and can’t give any good responds. If I posted it online, it was meant to be read. At least, for me. Thus, I’ll only write the summary.

Outward Bound School, Lumut – Day 3

P.S: Continue from Outward Bound School, Lumut – Day 2

Ok. The night before wasn’t that pleasant. Even though I slept soundly, but the tent’s naked floor hurt my back. Ouch. Now I miss my bed. Hehe. Eventually, I woke up at 5.00am, had my shower at 5.30am, and done with prayer and breakfast stuff at 6.30am.

After breakfast, we started untie all the tents and our cooking instrument. Everything were done in the darkness of the cool and breezing morning. Fuh~ But, no worries, no one was injured. Hehe. We finished the packing within 30 minutes. Haha. A lot faster compare to setting up the tents.

Outward Bound School, Lumut – Day 2

P.S: Continue from Outward Bound School, Lumut – Day 1

I was unable to sleep soundly that night. Maybe, because it was too cold. I kept on waking up after every half an hour, switching side to side and top to bottom just to comfort me back to sleep. However, this continue until Fajr. Pity me.

Being unable to sleep deadly like others do, I took an early shower, because I’m not planning to go for a long waiting list when others wake up and rush to the toilet. The water was very cold. Very cold that it made me shivering. Even when I pray for Fajr.
