It was indeed a shocking news that shocked the whole world when Japan was seriously hit by 10m high waves due to undersea earthquakes. The amount of damages, and casualties were unimaginable.
It is rather irritating when you can easily find all sorts of nonsense and sarcastic remarks posted by many internet users circulating around the network. Some were asking for news of the famous Japanese AV stars, while some were just up there to post their brainless remarks. Please, think twice before you think you really wanna jammed the whole communication network into Japan. The families of the those really affected, might need the communication platform more than you do. So, be considerate and mature.
Another notable thing is why everyone is seemingly to be extremely concern about the news when it involves highly developed countries? It's like whenever these catastrophe involves popular countries, the world seems to be so concerning. But no one seems to care when the same thing happens to less developed countries. Let's just examine ourselves. Aren't all of us the same human, regardless of where do we stay or live?
So let's pray for world peace and human may be sincerely loving each other.

'BOMB' threat at LCCT-KLIA
Wow, a very shocking news. Bomb threat is found at Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) at Kuala Lumpur International Aiport (KLIA). More news can be found at <here>.
There are times when we don't really understand what on earth is this people thinking. For whatever revenge stories or purposes behind the action, they shouldn't be threatening to hurt innocent lives.
So, let's pray for world peace and may human learn to love each other.
Cheers~

The word 'PERFECT'
As I grow up, the word 'perfect' seems to be weird. The more you look deeper into a matter, the more imperfect you will find it to be. If there seems nothing in this universe is perfect, then I would conclude that the existence of the word 'perfect' is just for one reason. For it to fill in the im'perfect'.
What is your say?
What is your say?
Speak the 'right' language
I have just come back from a Business Pitching Camp organized by the Multimedia Development Corporation (MDeC) last few weekends from 19 - 20 February 2011, in UNITEN, Kajang. It is a camp, organized for finalist of the MSC Malaysia-IHL Business Plan Competition 2011 (or its facebook). Praise the Lord, that my team is one of the shortlisted.
We were exposed to challenging sessions of talks, hands-on and most importantly, we did lots and lots of business presentation and pitches to panel of judges, and some fellow angel investors. Briefly, 'business pitching' means you present your business idea or plan to the investors, hoping they will invest certain amount of $ into your company. It is the hope of ministry to born young entrepreneurs among university students in Malaysia.
The main point I have realized after sessions of pitching to all these successful businessperson, is to speak 'their language'. Many times, especially when we who come from technical background, such as engineering, manufacturing or IT sciences, tend to speak in our technical way. Getting used to our normal environment around us, we get used to speak words, phrases and sentences which could only be well understood by our colleagues. We may be too overwhelmed by the uniqueness of our products and inventions, which we could talk non-stop about how good the product is. We tend to show how brilliant our ideas are.
All of these, as a matter of fact are irrelevant and the least important to these investors' eyes. Their interest is very simple. What is your product? How does it look like (hardware, software or system)? How is your company going to make money? And how do you stop competitors from entering your market? - That's it. The technical story behind the system, whether how great is your computer programming behind it, or how sophisticated is the whole manufacturing system - these they won't bother to care.
So next time if you have the chance to pitch your business idea or business plan to investors, kindly make sure you 'speak their language'. Below is the video of which I personally regard as one of the best business pitch ever. Steve Jobs presenting his very first iPhone to the world.
