Million hits a month!

Last night, I was celebrating my pre-kaamatan alone at home, I bought 4 bottles of uncle Carls from Dusun Club (one chinese coffee shop), drank and played with "Biggy" (a virgin-male dog). I was a little bit sadden actually because at this time around I'd usually be in Sabah, celebrating with her. The fact that I missed her so much can't be denied especially during this period and her birthday is coming in just a few days. Once, I've said she would be the one am going to marry but things not always as you've planned. Well...we were not meant to be la ba that..he..he..

A'ight, earlier today, when I woke up from my hang over (masih paning ni tau...), I read today's newspaper and saw the news of Mr Mahathir hits the 1 million hits in his blog. WOW! That was my first reaction to his achievement. Well, how many people do you know that have a blog then achieved million hits within a single month? I wish I were him... he.he..that could be a world record! Now people were saying that his blog might hit another million in the coming month..how does it feel to have a million hits in a single month? Does anyone ever know?

I'm happy for him, I've actually posted one comment on one of his post when it was first published. I don't know how he manages to read all his comments..a single post in his blog could..roughly get about 200-300 approved comments..how many comments were disbanded..the most dangerous and feared by most bloggers when blogging is (i think..me also careful ba) seditious remarks... so, although you have so many things to say in you head about that, this and those..you can't actually express them in a way that you'd wish for...I might someday..he.he..well..I can't tell actually if one's post is seditious or not..it depends how people valuate and judge......so in near time soon..I might try this..to blog more freely....

Is he really a Batman? The son of Superman?

Well, I think some of you out there have received this email years ago but I still find it funny and wondered..is it really true that his father was named after the handsome and nerdy Clark Kent..it seems that it is their family tradition where Clark Kent then named his son after the dark force hero of Batman from Brooklyn City.. it does make sense to me..after all, these two heroes have something in common..they've never existed actually..what?Do you guys think that they were real? Wa.ha.ha..it is real that the world has someone named after these heroes...Isn't it uniques and amazing..I have a relative named as Suparman actually..when I first heard of his name..I was like..really but probably it brings more luck (Feng Shui) to these people..which I admire..especially when people make fun of their name and still be proud of their name...

Batman: "Hello, thank you for calling, this is Batman"

Caller: "Who am I speaking to? Batman?"
Caller: "May I have your name again please?"
Batman: "My Name is Batman"
Caller: "Trying to be funny uh? What is your surname?"
Batman: "Suparman"
Caller: "I want to speak to your Manager"

2000 Hits!

Officially, Designated Hermitage has now been visited 2000 times in less than 2 years. My first post was as follow

Welcome (dated back to 25th Nov 2006)

As the name says "Designated Hermitage", this is going to be d' Amazing blog in future to come. Would it be? Well, you may say "nah..." or "...mmm....", time will tell and those who believe "live your dream and it will come to you" would probably agree with me though. It doesn't matter what other people going to say because it is not my business to listen and live up to their expectations or needs. I'm doing this for my own satisfaction and most importantly living my dream.

Once before, a man called Beiolman said "You may call me beiolman but I'm not the only one, I hope someday you will join me and let the world be beiol-ed"

Less than 5 months to my first post's anniversary, DH managed to survive the kind of tsunami, earth quake, riots, political melt down etc..when I first signed up for Blogger.com I was just a kid in virtual world of blogging..well I was actully an active IRC user, way back 1999 - 2000..hehe..and those days..internet was still new to Malaysian..including me..I don't know if I can label myself or qualified as an amateur in computer (Software, Hardware, networking etc)..am sure that am not an expert/advance either though..and I do know that I like (enjoy) what I haves and haves not..

Early 2007, DH was actually kept in a save box for quite a period. He was in the mids of concentrating other stuff in his life..after a crucial incident that almost took his soul..seh..with a natural and strong driven character..he fought back to get his grasp in life..he stood tall to co-exist his heir as the last Beiolman (C) and walked through the road to heaven passing the gate of hell without hesitation..for about 6 months later he made it to the end of the road where he found a fountain of Freedom in his heart! (not quite right..) Ever since then..he lives his life to the fullest..*if ada duit lagi to the maximum..hehe..

He started the 2008 with bigger hopes and new targets. He was heard saying some as..to live free from his past..to be elsewhere in SEA area (lagi jauh lg bagus) before he can enjoy his 30th birthday party...and of course be financially stable..(kesian ba ni..jual diri untuk sesuap nasi..hehe)...Up until now DH is still going strong..banging his head to the wall.. to bring out the best of him for Sabah and his surrounding...hoping to wake up in an early morning, from his sweet dream to see his lovely and pretty wife next to him greeting him with a kiss...walawei..

Hopping for the greater good in life? Sure we does, don't we... How can life be great if you don't believe that dream can come true... and living your dream will eventually helping you making your dream to come true..he.he.. *The Law of Attraction*

MAFU - Malaysian Artist For Unity

Have you guys watched the new music video collaborated by Pete Teo with friends either on TV or the internet? It was the first kind of collaboration made in Malaysia for the sole purpose of racism conflict which was master minded by Pete Teo. The story goes like this..(taken from the MAFU site..) He was actually boring la kunun..then he telephoned few of his friends which are also celeb..to get together to make an anti-racism national unity song and music video..wasn't that cool and thoughtful...Well if you have celebs (singers)..I guess that won't count..who does not want to sing and contribute in such a wonderful and meaningful song..don't you?..If only Pete had dialed a wrong number (to my mobile number)...I'll be grateful enough to speak to him..he.he...or perhaps.. co-star in that video clip..anything can happen bah..he.he.. Well.am an anti-racism and hate people who judges people by their race..I've met several people who dislike and does not prefer to mix around with Indian..then some to Chinese..Malay and so on.. probably they were trying to make a statement out of the blue that they were good and does not need other race to be in their life..what a jerk!! I watch this one movie titled "Into The Wild" (based on true story of Alexander Supertramp) and there was this nice quote he wrote about happiness..I can't remember it exactly..*I will add the quote once I have figured it out..please remind me k..hehe.

So back to MAFU... telephone calls made by Pete had then dwelled 52 people a few days later..they're from all sort of people..singers, producers, sportsman, actors, activists etc.. came joining the contingent because they love Malaysia.....yeah the country that was bombed numerous times by baby atomic bombs..he..he.. They recorded a song entitled "Here In My Home" (free download) then more people joined...from 52 people.the number grew to 120 people..amazingly..the BUDGET=ZERO..then a video clip of these bunch of cool people was also recorded..They've made a great approach and contribution..I love what you guys did! Hopefully this small but brilliant independent group can help generate and create better living in Malaysian..especially to Malaysian politicians to open their eyes *besar-besar

While I was gone...

Yesterday I was on holiday and today I went to work hoping that everything would be fine. Well, all were fine but I was a little disappointed when I found out 2 days were spent to figure out how to make a simple amendment *sigh*...that can be done within an hour or two including QA...Then when I was informed (by my Manager..because all development works need to get through to me).....they have not finished anything yet..it actually became worst than expected..my first respond to my Manager was something like this..."oh..isn't that simple...it only involves the script.." then my Manager explained what had happened earlier...(I think he didn't really believe what I was saying)..we received a request from one of our customer in Australia to amend their report...(customised report..) The plan was...if the development work itself is not over than 2/3 hours..we're not going to charge them..which I think my Manager also believed our team can do it within a reasonable time scale...unfortunately..with their kind of approach and thought..they failed..not 1 day..2 days and came up with nothing..

So..my Manager wondered then asked me how..I then explained to him (and the team..)..what and where should the amendment took place..it has nothing to do with the report file (Crystal Report) .... because it was delayed for 2 days..I offered him a hand to do it myself including QA and at the same time (diam-diam) asking our team to continue.. my first 30 minutes in the office today was spent on this stuff then passed over to my Manager..he will do another QA prior to release tomorrow... Frankly speaking, this kind of stuff should have not be a problem for my army to figure out then provide a solution..it just that they have this typical kind of Malay habits..lackadaisical..with their skills..it is unacceptable to not be able to do this simple task..because of the habits of being discourages and un-committed..their willingness to learn, their effort to master in-out about the company's product have created a huge gap between people with skills and people with experience... I hope they would not be reprimanded by the Manager tomorrow regards to this avoidable weakness...usually people with experience wouldn't have a sophisticated solution compared to skillful people of whom have a brilliant imagination also mind then make something out of the extra-ordinary...*difficult made easy*...If you were a Manager who is given the power to hire a new staff..would it be somebody with experience or skills?

Before my Manager left..he asked me if we should charge them or not..well..obviously we shouldn't..mistake was at our end...wasn't it.....He also said that he would probably go to UK earlier than expected (16th June) which indicates it's not going to be easy anymore for me to apply leave...the Management had planned earlier this year that he would be there for about a year to contribute in the User Acceptance Test process...
