2014-01-11T08:13:00.000+08:00

Hi everyone... thanks for coming to this blog. This blog is actually made for testing purposes and I will no longer update this blog until further notice.

Looking For Blogger Friends

2012-11-26T21:34:00.001+08:00

Hello.... Is anybody out there? I mean, are you lonely? There are so many bloggers out there who do not notice your existence. Sad? Don't be shy. Try to expose yourself. As a new blogger, you must be brave. Don't wait for others to come to your blog. You must have your own effort then try to visit and follow them first.

My suggestions are :

Visit famous bloggers who have thousands of followers in the Google Friend Connect widget. Try to follow the follower's blog by clicking on the photo icon and leave your blog link (wishing that they will visit and follow you back). But remember do not force them to follow you back.
Expose your blog by joining segments, contests and giveaways from bloggers.
When visiting others' blogs, try to visit the blogs in the blog list, could be their close friend or family members.
To be noted, when visiting others' blogs, try to leave your footprint whether in shoutbox or leaving comment in the blog post to let the owner know that you had visited the blog.

You may try these and will be happy later... peace no worries... (^_^)

Appreciate Your Blog

2012-10-26T08:43:00.000+08:00

Appreciate Your Blog

Do you appreciate your blog? Most of bloggers forgot about this. After having a blog, do not simply leave it like that. What I mean here is, try to customize your blog. Make it cheerful and alive.

For personal blog, a blog is like an electronic diary which consist of your everyday life. So, you might want your readers to come back later. This is called loyal readers.

My suggestions are :

Change your blog appearance periodically could be once in 3 months time
Make variety of blog post. Not just simple concentrate in one interest or preference.
Cheer up your blog by doing Giveaway, Segment or Contest. This will appreciate your readers and let them have something from you.
Update your blog.
Blogwalking to other blog. Let others know your existence.
Leave comments on others's blog

The most important thing here is your blog must have visitors daily. That's how you appreciate your blog and make it interesting for other people to always stick to your blog.

Name Your Blog Wisely

Name your blog wisely. Please do consider this matter as it will affect the whole life of your blog. This is the first thing that you need to do when you want to create a blog.

My suggestions are :

For this second blog, I used this name and motto..

Writing Blog Post

2012-10-01T08:25:00.000+08:00

Writing Blog Post

To be a blogger and having blog to be updated all the time, you may or may not have the writing skills. Writing a blog post is just simply expressing ideas or opinions. It could be right or wrong. You may also write about your experience, your everyday life or could be anything. What I say here... everything is possible...

So do not worry too much if you don't have skill to write. People tend to do mistakes but we can make changes and do the right thing from time to time. Believe me! At first you may be awkward but later on you begin to enjoy and in a few minutes you can finish writing one blog post.

To make you blog post a bit interesting, you may put photos or pictures so that your readers do not easily get bored. Pictures tell everything and your readers will have the clear view of what you are saying about. Know your readers interests and try to write variety of blog post...

Cheerio....

Are You Jealous? If your friend is better that you? Will you take it seriously in positive or negative way? Well... everyone have the right to become jealous. In positive way, it is actually good to motivate you to compete with your friend. But you if take it in negative way, you may be end up with broken relationship.

Work To Earn For Living

2012-07-25T18:05:00.000+08:00

Everyone need to work to earn for living. If not working, how to get money. If do not have many, how to survive?

Work.. Work.. Work... Spend 8 hours, 5 days in a week... Happy or not happy... still have to work. What I need to say here.. wake up everyone! We have feelings, we have family, we have community. Don't simply ignore all these things.

Have to be wise in overcoming the stress. When you are stress please tackle it faster or otherwise it will become worst..

I don't know why right now, I'm not really happy at my work. Doing the same work for over years. Sometimes makes me bored and somehow I also need to be promoted but there are no vacancies in higher post that suit me well. So now I'm still trying to apply work at other places. You know... really a bit sad when your officemates (same batch intake) who joined the agency, now being promoted to higher position. As for my position, there is no promotion post. Why? Maybe that time the management did not think Information Technology is important.

But right now, working environment today need information technology. Computers, laptop, iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Internet, Broadband... So.. I'm a bit frustrated... I don't know... Just wait and see...

Monday Blues

2012-07-09T10:58:00.001+08:00

Oh no! Today is Monday. I don't want to go to work... so lazy... Is this a syndrome? Am I affected? Do I need to go and see a doctor? Is there any medicine to cure this syndrome? Why always like this every week? Why everyone has the same feeling? Too much thinking on term "why" in my head.

Whatever it is... time to ignore it. Get up and go to work. When arrived at the workplace, zero feeling about job tasks to be done today. Hmmmm... looking at the pc and do nothing. No motivation. No effort.

Doing my work so slow...since the due date is not today. I am lucky. But maybe this evening the monday blues will go away as tomorrow will come Tuesday, the energetic day of the week.

STOP day dreaming AND get back to work as usual. THIS is nonsense. YOU can eliminate this syndrome.

Sooner or later, the owner of the blog that you had visited, will visit you back. Please bare in mind, that let's say you have visited 10 blogs, you won't get back 10 visit yet. Not all the owner of the blog are online during your visit and some maybe won't pay your visit back at all.

Actvities in Blogwalking
