Do you believe in coincidences or do you believe that God meant it to be?

Upgrade 3: Start Now! or The 31 Year Old CEO
I attended TIME's Deeparay Open House yesterday (our office subscribes to one of their lines). At first mmg malas nak pergi but my boss insisted me to tag along, to do some business networking. The event started at 3.00 pm and I arrived at 3.15 pm. My other office mates only arrived at 4.30 pm ! so I had to wait for them eventhough dah kekenyangan. Fortunately there were some familiar faces & also got to knew some new people.
Before the event, we had a Farewell Lunch for our GM (his last day with our company). We were talking about TIME and Jason addressed TIME's CEO as "that young fella". I was curious so later i went to their website and was shocked to find out that the CEO is very young indeed! Only 31 years old! This was the same position that was previously filled by an ex-CEO of TMNET!

Upgrade 2: What's Your Price! or Getting your Resume across
Yesterday I was updating my resume for a part-time job which is scheduled for early next year when i thought about writing this post (I'm planning to go freelance next year, part of my plan to retire 'makan gaji' before my 30th birthday insyaAllah).
There are many online articles and even books on how to effectively write a resume. Just 'Google" it. However I would like to share my personal thoughts on making your resume stand out & what should you write as your 'Expected Salary'.

Upgrade 1: Benchmark! or Never Settle for Average
I've always strived to become different in everything I do. Part of it is because I don't want to be part of the majority. Just because everyone's doing it, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do! Just because everyone has a Sattelite Dish or a small grey/black/white box thingy sitting on top of their TV doesn't mean you desperately need to get one too just so you would not feel left out B-).
Being different means many things. It could be good, or even be negative. Let's talk about being different in positive terms specifically, of not being average (as majority of people are in the average group).
Question: How does one become above average?
Answer: Benchmark!

My first Post!
Akhirnya aku berjaya menulis my first post tanpa perlu tunggu sampai tahun depan :P. Setting up this blog pun dah makan bertaun lamanya. I dont want this to be another 'gajah putih' project like my fotopages (still up ke?), my first personal website (tulis HTML pakai notepad OK!), my friendster page & a bunch of other stuff.
Earlier this year, i almost created a blog because i was so furious with these two big fat pink & round "CON"sultants from the glorious US of A (will talk about this later) and needed a medium to channel my rage. But I guess, that too wasn't a strong enough reason to get me kick-started.
