We started brainstorming strategies. My father in law is the chairman, Aisyah the operations and I’m just an extra hand. Everyone had a role to play. From the kebab burners, meat and bread suppliers, stall location, branding, marketing, pricing and a lot more. Every time the 3 of us got together, we started brainstorming about our Kebab. Our past few weeks has always been about kebab.

Our kebab will change the fate of all kebabs in Malaysia. Why do I say so? It’s a Quarter Pounder Kebab! That’s about 113 gram of juicy succulent meat. At the moment, we are still formulating the ingredient for our kebab.

InsyaAllah by God’s willing, our soft launch will be this weekend. You can come to AEON Bukit Rimau (next to Kota Kemuning), just take KESAS highway to Port Klang, you’ll eventually see the exit to Bukit Rimau.

See you there

I did weight. Before marriage, my waist is about 32-33 inch. I was comfortable wearing 34 inch pants. My weight was 70-72 kg and that was 2 years ago. Today, I am 76-77 kg and my waist line is 34-36 inch. I am shy to say this, but I’m fat! It’s time I do something about it.

10 Tips to Lose Weight

I am doing 6 of the things above.

1. Walk – Whenever I have the time, I’d walk. Parking somewhere further than the entrance helps too.

3. Breakfast – It’s something I learn not to do since school. Because breakfast food sucks in boarding school.

6. Outdoor – I try to go out a lot, shopping malls, offices, see customer and not be desk bound all the time.

8. Weigh Daily – I do this to track my bowel movement.

9. Stop Drinking Soda – It is the biggest contributor to daily calorie intake daily. I do occasionally have it every now and then, more like once a week.

10. Eat Fruit – Something that I dislike peeling fruits, but eating is no problem.

So what’s your secret to weight loss? Share through the comment below

Initially we wanted to take a boat to Phi Phi Island but soon realized it’s an island where you need to stay overnight to experience it. So we decided to take the trip to Hong Island. The first place we went to does not accept pregnant woman as passenger. We attempted the second one after hours of wandering around. They took us at a reasonable price and we could only take the longtail boat.

The price for the trip is 600 Baht per person, the peak season price tag is at 1000 Baht. The key to negotiate is half it and negotiate up. Anyway, this price includes, snorkeling gear, lunch, drinking water, insurance, hotel transfers  etc, in short you don’t need to carry any money with you. My take, don’t negotiate too much, it’s already dirt cheap.

Everyone has to climb on the boat. So those who still young and strong, this is your time to be helpful. Elderly people, woman and kids would require assistance. Try to pack light and with waterproof bag. Everyone gets wet trying to board the boat.

This is the inside of a longtail boat, it’s made of wood and still standing strong.

Daeng Island. It doesn’t appear to have a jetty.

Our first island stop was Daeng Island. I was the first to jump off the boat. To be honest, I am scared swimming in deep waters, but I had to overcome my fears before it consumes me. We did a few minutes snorkeling in the area. The fishes we ‘too friendly’. When we stood idle, they’d swim close and sometimes rub their fins. Only adults are allowed to snorkel near this island.

Next up is Hong Island. This is an orgasmic island. The sand is so smooth and the water is relatively clear. It could’ve been clearer if not for the rainy weather which stirred dust and shells.

The was already peaked at this time of day. It was hot. Thankfully the water was cold.

We could easily spot fishes near the beach. The fishes like the ones at Daeng Island were tad too friendly. We had fun feeding the fish. To some extend, they were a little aggressive, biting everything in their way, including my finger and camera.

Before we head for lunch, we stopped by this area. I have no idea what’s it called, but the views were mesmeric.

Finally lunch at Paradise Island. This secluded and small beach was to me, the highlight of the trip. Perfectly shaded from harsh sun ray, traps the cool breeze and unpolluted beach.

Some Marine Police is stationed here for a quick chase? I don’t know.

Three boats, ours is in between, it can seat about 20 people.

Our lunch view. Mesmeric yes?

The swing that chaired us for lunch. Makan tengah hari sambil berbuai di tepi pantai… ahhh bliss! There’s no feeling in the world that can replace that.

Lunch is Halal and Thais really give a damn about that. The company that we took is called ‘Barracudas Tour’ and the owner is a Muslim. They provide halal food.

Our day ended when we head back to the big land. They had to take us back sooner because of the high tide that normally starts at 4 pm. The boat ride home took about 1 hour to reach Aonang.

We wanted to repeat the experience next day to a different island, no company wanted to take us in. We thank Allah for giving us the opportunity to take a break from the mainland and hectic life. Hopefully one day, we’ll be able to revisit these island with Iman and gang.

We arrived Krabi at 815 am local time. We decided to take the bus for more adventure (budget sebenarnya). It costs us 300 baht for both. 600 baht would be the cost if we took the taxi or private transport.

The bus isn’t that bad. If you have loads of time at hand, why not?

It took us 45 minutes to reach hotel. We stayed at Aree Tara in Aonang. Because we arrived early, we weren’t able to check in yet.

We rented a bike for 200 baht per day (about RM 20). I was laughing my ass off while riding it. It felt like a toy bicycle, very low pick up and slow. It was just good enough to take us nearby. It’s not very aerodynamic either and because it’s light weight, it wobbles every time the wind blows. Overall, it was fun.

The day was getting hotter, we decided to hang out a place that provides aircond for free, where else can we go if not McDonalds. We also needed to figure out how telcos work in Thailand.

I was recommended by a friend to use Happy Tourist. The starter pack is 49 baht for prepaid, free Internet for the day of activation. There was several packages, daily limit, duration in days and time limit. We used the time limit package where it’s 30 baht for 5 hours data use  in 7 days. It’s not like we use data every time of the day, when we’re not using data, we switch it off.  We got the cheapest top up for 60 baht.

This is our hotel room. Just as advertise in Wego.com (the place we booked)

Two elephant and a combined super twin bed.

The toilet is clean and decent. We paid about RM 600 for 5 days and 4 nights. RM 150 per night was a deal we couldn’t resist. However it was a bit far from the tourist attraction. The plus point is, cheap hotel and very quite.

Tips: Don’t get an expensive hotel if all your activities are outside hotel.

Manggo sticky rice was the first meal we had. It proved to be the best meal we’ve ever had for the entire trip. Food porn will be tomorrow or the day after

We were fortunate to arrive on Friday as Krabi Town has night market on weekends (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). It took us 45 minutes by motorcycle doing 40-50kmh (I told you the bike is slow).

This is fried ice cream, she literally fried them on the cold slab. She poured in yogurt/cream and flavors of choice. Dice and flip to trap air, then serve it in a cup. It’s a manual way of making ice cream. Tastes just about the same as normal ice cream. We have to admit, it’s the most eye catching stall.

They provided a place for us to enjoy our street food dinner. It was convenient and we had fun watching the shows and dance by locals. It got pretty pack as dinner time arrives.

This is a great idea of making money. Donate and Paint. I was surprised he could withstand people painting hearts on his nipple. If it was me, I’d be laughing my ass off and peed in my pants.

Some points I forgot to take photos of are:

Airport

It’s small, clean and tidy. The staff were friendly and we immediately knew where to go upon arrival. It’s hard to get lost in such a small space. Compare to LCCT, it was easy to get lost, there weren’t many sign boards. Baggage claim was quick and easy.

Language

The local speaks Thai and very basic English. In rural areas, they don’t speak English at all. This is where gestures and calculators are important used to negotiate with the locals. If you’re going to complain or ask complex questions, I recommend you don’t waste your time. Get a data plan and Google it.

Asking for directions is as easy as a single liner. For example, “Aonang?”, they’d immediately connect.

People

My wife told me a tip she read online “Thais are very happy people, don’t offend them”. It was hard to offend them as they smile almost all the time. In Malaysia, only 10% would smile at strangers 90% have straight face. In Thai, it’s the opposite. They are very nice. Even when you negotiate and bargain at a terribly low price they won’t be offended. They love what they do and would love to repeat the good experience from you to another.

ps: I’ve some videos to share swimming with fishes. Catch me tomorrow ok!

Extra Picture

Sexy woman with sexy manggo sticky rice.

Yesterday, we went to check on you. You were swimming side to side. I immediately got off the couch and stood beside the doctor to have a better view of the screen. You were twisting, turning, giggling and most importantly you were having fun in mummy’s tummy.

The doctor measured your femur and head, you’re about 5 weeks. Your due date is on the 11th Nov, that’s 2 days away from me. I’m glad we can save on the cake

We also tried to peek at your gender. I am hoping for you to be a boy, because I would know how to play with you. If you’re a girl, I’d be a bit lost. My siblings are all boys, it’s only natural for me. Nevertheless, I’d love you whatever you’ll turn out to be. (We weren’t able to see your huha anyway)

Since we heard of your existence, I have change my way of thinking. I’ve learn to calm down and manage my emotions. I do not wish to raise my hand to you nor scream at the top my lungs. My view of the world changed. I want a better future for your sake.

Tomorrow, we’re going off to Krabi. Make sure you get enough rest and don’t eat too much dirt.

I can’t wait to see you.

-Ayah

ps: We’ve already got some toys for you

Having failed to renew the week before, I arrived there early, 7.30 am. The line was already by the hundreds. My turn will be the 128th.

At about 1030 am, they did what happened to me the week before. They hung up the ‘offline’ signboard. It’s so apparent that this happens a lot of time, they even have a proper sign for that. Anyway, to those who didn’t get the number for the day, they have to come tomorrow. Immigration is only going to process a limited number of passport per day. This is due to the new polycarbonate passport being implemented.

At about 11 am, my number was finally called. By 11.30 am I was ready to make my move. It took me 4 hours to get sorted and still have yet to receive my passport. I have to come back tomorrow for it.

5 years back, it only took me 1 hour to renew my passport. The expectation was raised so high, that immigration officers are finding it tough to bolster these KPIs.

My suggestion to immigration is, please don’t strip off your old system to replace with a faulty one. At most, they should have 30-7o output ratio of new passport. This way, even it’s down, they can use the old system as back up. A drastic change in security direction and a massive load of public deserves a better planning.

ps: I recently attended a training and I realized the mother of all my negative aura comes from politics and this blog.

Why Gather?

The General Election 13 is done and with BN once again, being the victor. However, there has been claims that there were cheating involved.

1. Indelible ink – I was able to remove mine 30 minutes after election.
2. Phantom voters – An ustaz was accused of trying to vote the second time. He arrived from Singapore at 4.30 pm. In the end he was able to cast his votes.
3. Foreign voters – Bangladeshi was caught trying to cast vote, there are videos on this. Go find it yourself.
4. Blackout – It was reported that a few sites experienced a black out. There’s already some proof that this did not happen but we can’t neglect this entirely.
5. Recount Process – New Borang 14 surfaced during the recounting.
6. Bribe – Some videos people receiving money from a Party’s vehicle

These are just theories until proven. Therefore we can’t deny any possibilities from either side, EC or candidates committing fraud. It is in our best interest to seek for truth.

Anwar Ibrahim claimed that there are close to 30 Parliament seats that was ‘robbed’ from the rakyat. PR intends to explore in this coming weeks. Until then, we just have to play the wait-and-see game.

People came by the dozens. Some even parked 2km just to avoid the traffic and some came as early as 3 pm. It became like a mini pasar malam.

From all walks of life. Cina Melayu India Singh, just name it.

We sat together, rubbing shoulders, passing around yellow ribbons, chanting and screaming. It was the best way for PR supporters to vent their angers.

I took the video of Anwar’s speech.

Proof I was there.

There are 4 areas I think this event can improve.

1. Trash was everywhere. I took sometime to collect these. I don’t understand people who wants CHANGE but doesn’t want to change their habit. When are they going to get it, you throw your own rubbish la!

2. Impatient People. Everyone was really hustling their way out pushing old folks and others. Relax la, be considerate.

3. Parking. It was hellish. Stadium Kelana Jaya is one messed up development area. There’s only one small entrance and exit for cars. It’s also along houses.

4. Smoking in the Stadium. I understand the urge to smoke, but please, hold it for 2-3 hours. And if want to smoke, don’t put it off on the bitumen track. That’s backwards thinking.

ps: I got home at 12. Kesian bini kerana tidak dapat turut serta.

We were already late to visit him. He passed before we could him move. We went directly to the morgue and saw his tiny body on the cold metal slab. His head was as big as a tennis ball, feet as big as my thumb, arm as big as my middle finger. He was too small to survive the 6 drips that was going through his body. He had a brain hemorrhage, there’s nothing else we could.

In our big family, we are expecting 4 kids. Now it’s down to 3.

Our heartiest and deepest condolence to the family for the passing of Adam Zikri. Know that you’ll be remembered and loved.

My dear son/daughter, just know that you’ll always have a hero among you. He’ll watch over you from heaven. So be good, don’t dissapoint him.

Go PAS GO!

Manifesto BN 2008 ada 7 kategori.

Keselamatan

1. Mengurangkan indeks jenayah negara

Pada tahun 2008, jumlah jenayah adalah 211,645. Ini bersamaan dengan 767 bagi setiap 100k penduduk. Tahun 2012 pula, 123,719 jenayah, 441 kes bagi setiap 100k. Ini adalah kemajuan sebanyak 42%. Namun begitu, pihak MyWatch, badan NGO bagi memantau kadar jenayah Malaysia mengatakan pihak PDRM telah mengubah data di sini, sini, video youtube.

Lebih menyedihkan lagi MyWatch telah mengatakan bahawa kerajaan tidak mengambil kira jenayah (jenayah bukan indeks) seperti culik, pemerasan, ugutan jenayah dan kecederaan ke dalam indeks jenayah. Kes-kes seperti ini adalah kes yang serius di mana, penculik boleh dikenakan hukuman gantung. Manakala kes seperti pemerasan, ugutan dan kecederaan berkait rapat dengan gangsterism, dera anak-isteri, ah long terus meningkat. Ini bermakna 2, pertama PDRM tidak lagi boleh mengawal gangster, kedua, PDRM adalah sekutu mereka.

Persepsi terhadap jenayah juga terus meningkat, kerana jenayah memang benar-benar terjadi. Selain itu, ramai mangsa tidak melaporkan kepada pihak PDRM kerana menyangka ini adalah “useless”. Kerosakan sudah berlaku, bukan boleh dapat balik barang yang hilang. Keluarga saya pernah menjadi mangsa kes pecah rumah dan kami mengambil keputusan untuk tidak melaporkan (kerana paperwork kena buat di balai).

Dengan statistik yang sudah di ubah oleh kerajaan, sedikit susah untuk buat perbandingan, tapi takpa, kita cuba juga. Jenayah Singapore dan Victioria, Australia.

Saya pilih Singapore dan Victoria Australia, kerana saya rasa sangat selamat ketika melancong di kawasan tersebut biarpun angka di atas sangat besar. Angka yang tinggi di Australia adalah kerana mereka melaporkan semua jenayah termasuk kecil dan besar, bagi mendapatkan pampasan insurans. Contoh jenayah kecil adalah hilang kucing, handphone, tayar dicuri, kes buli, jiran bergaduh, hilang basikal dsb.

Di Malaysia, setiap minggu mesti ada masalah, hilang selipar di masjid, hilang pen, duit dsb. Semalam saya hilang helmet motor. Seperti saya katakan confirm orang malas nak report. Nak kena pergi balai satu hal, nanti kena saman tak pakai helmet pula. Dah report bukan ada tindakan pun.

Keputusan NH: Janji DICAPATI kerana data diberikan kurang tepat.

2. Menangani isu pendatang asing tanpa izin

Dalam laporan tahunan PDRM 2008, dinyatakan di sini, seramai 2.4 juta pendatang asing di Malaysia. Di mana 180,000 adalah pendatang TANPA izin. Kerajaan juga telah mengambil langkah memperkenalkan 6P (Program Penyelesaian Menyeluruh Pekerja/Pendatang Asing Tanpa Izin) pada Jun 2012. Melalui program ini, 2.04 juta berdaftar, di mana 1,016, 906 adalah sah, selebih 1,303, 126 adalah pendatang haram.

Mengapakah isu pendatang asing tanpa izin ini penting? Ada 4 faktor utama.

2.a. Menggunakan PATI untuk undi

2.b. Mengambil pekerjaan am, buruh dan semua low level jobs.

Kita menggunakan tenaga asing kerana ianya sangat murah. Akibatnya, perkhidmatan yang diberikan tidak memuaskan. Tengok saja kedai mamak, kena cakap 2 kali baru paham. OldTown kopitiam pula kena order pakai kertas sebab pekerja tidak boleh berbahasa Melayu.

2.c. Menghantar duit pulang

Pada tahun 2009 jumlah wang salurkan keluar negara adalah USD 6.8 billion. Secara purata RM 2,833 dihantar pulang setiap tahun. Angka sebanyak ini jika di agih kepada 28.86 juta penduduk Malaysia, seorang akan dapat RM235.62. Angka sebegini juga cukup untuk memberikan pendidikan percuma kepada rakyat sehingga ke menara gading.

2.d. Kadar jenayah tinggi

Susah untuk dipisahkan jenayah dan warga asing. Baru-baru ini, serangan di Lahad Datu dikatakan berpunca daripada pendatang asing yang sudah berdaftar (atau diberi kewarganegaraan). Dalam satu petikan daripada Nazri, “setakat ini, jumlah 889,779 pendatang asing tanpa izin di Sabah tidak mengugat keselamatan”. Angkuh sungguh pak menteri kita.

Keputusan NH: Janji DICAPATI

3. Menambah 60,000 anggota polis menjelang 2011 dan membina 150 balai

Pada tahun 2008, 106,552 bilangan polis. Pada 2011, 122,000 sahaja. Ada 2 personalan, kenapa perlukan 60,000 lagi polis dan kenapa susah sangat nak rekrut polis baru?

Jika kita refer kepada Singapore police force, kita dapati Singapore lebih ramai polis bagi setiap 100,000 penduduk. Namun begitu, Singapore adalah negara kecil, lebih mudah untuk dipantau. Bak kata Mahathir, tak sempat tekan minyak sampai 120km, dah sampai hujung Singapore.

Keputusan NH: Janji DICAPATI.

4. Meningkatkan keselamatan di sekolah-sekolah, taman-taman permainan dan tempat-tempat awam

Susah untuk diukur. Nurin, Sharlinie, William antara nama yang akan terus dikenang. Saya kecewa kerana angka kes culik tidak dimasukkan sebagai salah satu ukuran bagi mengurangkan indeks jenayah.

Mari kita kenang mereka yang hilang.

Keputusan NH: Janji DICAPATI.

Rumusan

• 4 Janji DICAPATI

Keselamatan adalah perkara serius. Lebih serius lagi dari BlogSerius kerana tanpa keselamatan tiadalah ekonomi, hak asasi manusia, kebebasan beragama, kemajuan, pendidikan, kerajaan dan paling penting, kebahagian.

ps: NH demam skit hari ni. Lambat keluar post.

Manifesto BN 2008 ada 7 kategori.

1. ekonomi
2. keselamatan
3. urus tadbir kerajaan
4. pendidikan
5. pembangunan
6. perkhidmatan awam
7. agama

Oleh itu saya akan pecahkan kepada 7 bahagian supaya lebih mudah untuk dibaca, difahamkan dan ditulis.

Ekonomi

1. Menangani kesan kenaikan harga bagi menjamin kualiti hidup rakyat yang bermutu.

Mungkinkah melalui BR1M? Tetapi barang masih lagi naik. Harga ayam pada tahun 2008, RM 5.30 per kg. Tahun 2013, RM 7.40 per kg. Kenaikan sebanyak 40% dalam masa 5 tahun. Secara purata 8% kenaikan setiap tahun. Dan tahukah anda, harga ayam bukan lagi barangan harga kawalan sejak 2008? Tak apa, saya bukan suka makan ayam pon.

Cuba kita lihat sekeliling kita, harga barang naik terlalu tinggi saban hari. Beras 2008, RM 16.50 bagi 10kg. Pada 2013, RM 36 bagi setiap 10kg. Roti Gardenia pon naik, dulu RM 1.90 sekarang RM 2.40.

Keputusan NH: Janji DICAPATI kerana harga barang terus meningkat dan golongan pertengahan terus tertindas.

2. Memupuk dan membantu 1 juta syarikat dan usahawan IKS dalam masa 5 tahun.

Susah untuk dikira kerana janji yang dibuat agak “motherhood” atau umum. Buat masa ini, terdapat lebih 1 juta syarikat dan hampir 5 juta perniagaan berdaftar bersama SSM. IKS adalah pendek untuk Industri Kecil dan Sederhana. Mungkin sumber data boleh diperolehi dari SMIDEC.

Keputusan NH: Tiada komen.

3. Menjana lebih 2 juta peluang pekerjaan yang bermutu dalam masa 5 tahun.

Pada tahun 2013, ada 12.85 juta rakyat berkerja dengan kadar pengangguran 3.3%. Pada tahun 2008, 10.65 juta rakyat bekerja. Sekali pandang, ya, memang BN telah menyediakan 2 juta perkerjaan, namun MUTU yang dimaksudkan di sini masih lagi diragui kerana GDP per capita pada 2008 adalah USD 15.2k berbanding USD 15.8k pada 2013. Kenaikan USD 600 (RM 2,000) adalah sebanyak 4% dalam masa 5 tahun. Pendek kata, harga ayam naik lagi laju dari gaji. Oleh itu, marilah kita jual ayam.

Mari bandingkan dengan jiran kegemaran kita, Singapore. USD 51.5k pada 2008 dan USD 60.5k pada 2012. Rujuk kepada jadual untuk Indonesia dan Thailand.

Negara lain bangkit dengan kadar 2 digit, Malaysia hanya 4%, 1% setiap tahun. Ini kerja gila. Inflasi yang ditulis Bank Negara adalah sebanyak 3% setahun.

Keputusan NH: JANJI DICAPATI perlu focus kepada perkataan “pekerjaan bermutu”, malangnya pekerjaan kita tidak bermutu.

4. Mengurangkan lagi defisit fiskal negara.

Pada tahun 2008, jumlah hutang negara RM285 billion, termasuk domestik dan luar negara. Manakala 2011, hutang negara berada pada RM 456 billion. Walaupun banyak pendapat mengatakan ini dapat diimbal-balik dengan GDP, hakikatnya, jumlah hutang tidak masuk akal. Ini juga bermakna, bagi setiap rakyat Malaysia, hutangnya adalah sebanyak RM 16,800 (jumlah 28 juta penduduk).

Namun begitu bajet atau nama Melayu nya, belanjawan, langsung tidak mencerminkan keinginan untuk membayar hutang tersebut. Sebaliknya kerajaan terus berbelanja lebih dari pendapatan negara. Ini bermakna, kita terpaksa mengambil hutang bagi menampung perbelanjaan. Jadual di bawah adalah Belanjawan bagi negara ASEAN lain pada 2012.

Mengikut jadual di atas, negara paling boros adalah Malaysia. Oleh itu, sudah terang kerajaan yang dibentuk BN tidak menepati janji untuk melunaskan/ mengurangkan hutang negara. Secara langsungnya, cucu cicit kita yang akan menanggung hutang ini.

Keputusan NH: Janji DICAPATI

5. Melaksanakan pelan pembangunan lima koridor ekonomi

Koridor yang dimaksudkan adalah pembangunan lima wilayah koridor ekonomi iaitu di Johor (Iskandar Malaysia); Perlis, Kedah, Pulau Pinang dan utara Perak (NCER); Terengganu, Pahang, Kelantan dan Mersing, Johor (ECER); Sabah (SDC) dan Sarawak (SCORE). Sandaran tentang bukti pembangunan adalah mudah, bukti melalui Progress Report kerana ini adalah pelaburan duit rakyat, maka perlulah menyediakan report. Lagipun sudah 5 tahun, maka perlulah ada sesuatu yang dapat ditonjolkan.

• Iskandar Malaysia – Ada pembangunan, ada progress report DITEPATI
• NCER – TIADA progress report, JANJI DICAPATI.
• ECER - TIADA progress report, JANJI DICAPATI.
• SDC – Ada annual report, DITEPATI.
• SCORE – Ada annual report. DITEPATI.

Jika projek berbillion sebegini tiada report, kenapa kita harus terus mencurahkan duit ke dalam ‘black hole’? Lebih baik focus kepada pembangunan lain. Namun jika kita buka satu-satu website koridor ekonomi ini, kita dapat lihat pelan dan rancangan mereka. Mungkin kerana mereka ini golongan lambat sikit nak faham, oleh itu ambil masa lebih sikit.

Part hartanah ni aku dah malas sikit, sebab perlukan pemahaman tentang GDV. Ini akan meng-over-drive-kan otak.

Keputusan NH: Janji ATAS PAGAR

Rumusan

Sepanjang tempoh 5 tahun dibawah pemerintahan BN

• 1 Janji ATAS PAGAR
• 3 Janji DICAPATI
• 1 tiada komen kerana tiada bukti.

ps: Beringatlah, antara sifat munafik adalah mungkir janji. Apa pendapat korang?

So what is this Denaihati Network (DHN)? I asked myself the same thing when I first came across this. The tagline, “Hidupkan Untuk Memberi” left deeper curiosity. DenaiHati.com is a blog, meanwhile Denaihati Network is all the social medias, blog buddies, friends, facebook groups, Keek followers and instagram followers that is connected to DenaiHati blog.

DHN is best known for winning Social Media Week Award in 2011 and 2012 also being generous to other bloggers.

Blog Review

I was tasked by brother Ilham to post a review about Denaihati Blog.

His blog was messier when I visited years ago (I’m on Google Pages so I don’t visit the original blog as often). The new theme looks decent. However there are areas that can be further improved.

1. Sticky post – There’s a repetition of content from sticky post to new post. New post will always be on top, therefore need not be a sticky post. Instead, DH should use sticky post to reignite old posts or ones he wants people to focus.

2. Images on other post – While it is important to keep the blog lightweight, image or photography helps to boost and expand reader’s curiosity. I find that other than sticky post, other post does not have image to represent the content (on front page). This will be a show stopper for some.

3. Real estate – Today’s most common resolution is 1366px x 768px. With this information, coupled with our reading behavior of scanning the entire screen, DH has loads to lose. Upon loading only 2 posts are visible and 4 ads. It can be optimized to 6-7 posts with maybe more than 4 ads. Some of the best examples are Amanz.my, Azmanishak.com, negaraku.my and oren.my

4. Colors – As I scroll down, I can’t help but feel washed away. It was colorful with green, black and white as it’s main theme (much like Green Lantern) but died by time I reach the bottom of the page. This can be fixed by adding pictures and colorize the footer.

DenaiHati Activities

1. Sepetang Bersama Bloggers – I have personally been invited to this event before. We all had our chance to share our opinion and mingle around. It was fun meeting people who shares the same interest.

2. Blogging Class – Learn to make money by DenaiHati Network. Definitely the one best ways to generate passive income. This class is a crash course, can be too fast for non IT literate. However reaping the benefit isn’t hard, just as long as you keep your eyes on the prize. Me? I blog for fun, money comes as bonus.

3. Active Facebook Groups – Best place to share your content, learn from experience bloggers and mingle around. Denaihati Facebook Group.

Seminar Buat Duit Dengan Blog

There are a number of bloggers out there are doing this full time. To name a few, beautifulnara, tianchad, broframestone, kak Jie and more. So what’s stopping you from making money from blogging?

Denaihati will host a seminar on 19th of May 2013 at Singgahsana Hotel PJ.

• RM 50 for registration before 5th of May (early bird discount)
• RM 100 for registration after 5th of May

Why should you attend?

1. Curious about blogging and how to generate money from blogging

2. It’s only RM50 for a knowledge that was acquire through thick and thin for years of blogging. Mind you, not just one person experience, its a collective.

3. Potential networking. This could also be a chance for you to share your business with others.

4. Meet experience bloggers. Most (or perhaps all) are friendly bunch. Best place to mingle with like minded people.

You can register through this link. This activity usually happens once a year. It’ll be a waste if you decide to do it next year. Some piece of advise, don’t do today’s work tomorrow, do tomorrow’s work today!

ps: My May activity is kinda packed during that weekend (19th of May) I have wedding to attend to up north. Will have to miss this seminar

Senang saja, pergi ke http://daftarj.spr.gov.my/semakpru13.aspx dan masukkan no IC anda. Kalau tak pernah daftar janganlah berharap nama awak tu ada.

Kawasan mengundi saya adalah di AU1. Kawasan sini masalah tak banyak, cuma mengharapkan turapan tu kalau boleh buatlah yang berkualiti sedikit. Koman-koman 4 tahan tahun. Perkara ke 2, harap dapat menyedarkan masyarakat amalan membuang sampah ke tempat sepatutnya. Akibat sifat acuh tak acuh penduduk, kawasan AU1 banyak tikus sebesar kucing.

Saya dah cari di Google Map lokasi untuk buang undi. Nampak gaya, naik motor lebih mudah dari menaiki kerata.

ps: Tak sabar nak buang undi kali ini!

ps: Been awhile since I last photoshopped
