CINTA
On the way back, we stopped by at a stall in the mall looking at a new technology of keeping plants using some kind of crystal jelly to hold the water. I bought one to see if it can last long in my room.

Blue Ocean Strategy vs Red Ocean
"Don’t Compete with Rivals—Make Them Irrelevant"
Companies have long engaged in head-to-head competition in search of sustained, profitable growth. They have fought for competitive advantage, battled over market share, and struggled for differentiation.
Yet in today’s overcrowded industries, competing head-on results in nothing but a bloody “red ocean” of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. In a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success, W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne contend that while most companies compete within such red oceans, this strategy is increasingly unlikely to create profitable growth in the future.
Several examples that I posted in BicaraJutawan.com:Contoh:
1. Perniagaan warung kopi
red ocean strategy: bukak warung di tepi jalan jual kopi satu gelas RM 1, untung 30sen - 50 sen.
blue ocean strategy: bukak cafe kopi di tempat2 tumpuan, taruk jenama mcm Starbuck/Coffee Bean, taruk wireless internet, air cond, kopi sedap2 letak rega RM10 segelas pun orang berpusu-pusu.
Ok. Mcm saya katakan tadi, konsep laut biru adalah untuk membolehkan kita sebagai usahawan lari drpd perniagaan laut merah. Laut merah ialah konsep yang banyak digunakan sekarang, merata-rata yg kita lihat disekeliling kita. Dalam erti kata lain, ordinary business method.
laut biru pula cuba membawa kita supaya buat business beyond ordinary. Lain dari lain, lebih dari lain. Mungkin nampak gila tapi akhirnya berjaya. Antara contoh2 yg saya ingat:
Contoh lain:
TV1, TV2, TV3 dan lain2 adalah stesen tv percuma. Seluruh rakyat Malaysia berpeluang menikmati stesen tv percuma. Dtg pula perniagaan drpd laut biru membawa fenomena 'nak tgk tv kene bayar'. Mula2 nampak pelik, yg lain free dia kene bayar tapi kini berapa ramai yg melanggannya? Kenapa mereka sanggup bayar sedangkan yg free ada? Sebab yg berbayar ada non-stop channel kartun, ada non-stop bola dan live telecast, ada non-stop filem2 dan mcm2 lagi yg non-stop yg tv percuma takleh nak offer. Anda tentu tau tv apa itu. Apakah tindakan pelik mereka mengenakan bayaran sedangkan percuma pun ada membuahkan hasil? Jawapannya ia dan menjadi trend pula sekarang
MAS ialah sebuah syarikat penerbangan. Tambangnya anda sedia maklum. Standard rega kapal terbang lah, ratus2. Tiba2 muncul sykt dr mana ntah offer tambang serendah RM10, RM4.99 dll...jauh lebih rendah drpd sykt penerbangan yg dah lama bertapak. Apa kata org ramai? Gila.....confirm lingkup tak lama lagi. Naik bas pun berbelas ringgit, kapal terbang RM4.99? Gila. Dan kini gila itu menjadi nyata, orang ramai bertukar kpd penerbangan mereka, mereka mampu membesarkan perniagaan dan membeli beberapa buah kapal terbang sendiri. Kini syarikat yg dari ntah mana ntah tu menggugat kedudukan sykt penerbangan kebanggaan negara yg selama ini gah dimata dunia.
Contoh2 diatas adalah yang saya petik daripada ceramah motivasi yg disampaikan oleh seorang speaker (sapa lupa lah namanya, nnt saya check jadual) yang cukup bagus dan dinamik. Ahad ni ada seminar sehari bersama beliau, akan saya share disini apa yg dapat saya pelajari drpd pengajaran beliau. Sementara itu, fikirkan apakah tektik blue ocean yg boleh anda cipta atau hasilkan :)

English & Science Camp
Time: 8.30 am - 4.30pm
Venue: Dewan Sri Siantan, Selayang
The camp was very successful. Things went smooth from the minute it start till it end. Everyone had so much fun. The best part was not the activities alone but we were able to get all kids to get to know each other and have fun with each other even though many of them have never met before. Then the second best part is when seeing the face of the kids who came without smile and went home with a big grin on their face, saying goodbye to each other, hugging each other before climbing into their parent's vehicle.
The first 30 minutes of the program was the crucial time to warm them up and slowly make them trust us. The kids who refuse to talk or even smile and some of them can't stop putting the sour face mask (probably because they had to woke up early or being forced by the parent to join the camp) slowly relaxed and enjoyed the activities. We are glad that at the end of the program, everyone had a great time learning and playing. We have achieve the program's objectives.
I'll let the pictures tell the rest of the stories. I was exhausted, my legs ached because standing too long and pity Iskandar who had to drove all the way to Melaka right after the program because he has training programs on the following day (but surely you had so much fun too, eh). I went to bed with a big smile on my face and I believe the kids were feeling the same way too....

Tick....Tock....Tick.....Tock.....
I met an old friend who used to stayed together with me and Zura when we were studying in UTMKL. Not much different, a bit chubby and mature (married look lahhh)....we had lengthy chat during lunch. Plan for a reunion of our house mate probably next year.
Went to MBO Ampang (my current favourite cinema) last Sunday to watch Casino Royale. Park right outside the cinema, free parking, walk to the counter just 5 minutes before the show and manage to grab good seat (third from last). I think that was the first time I watched Bond movie in cinema. I think the new Bond is quite good. The movie overall is very good, worth the time, effort and money.
Currently addicted to a cool digital puzzle game called Pastime Puzzle Deluxe. It was hard for a start but after a few puzzle, can't stop doing it.
Besides now cracking my head to complete the thesis, industrial training report and camps. Really prayed hard to get out of the uni before the UMNO take over it....it was published in the newspaper last Sunday. Duh....

Gath BBQ Raya Ex-MRSM Terendak 95/97
Date: 18 November 2006:
Time: 4.30pm - 10.30pm
Venue: Rumah Shima Afifi di Puchong Utama
Walaupun hujan selebat-lebatnya dan ramai yang sesat, sesat-sesesatnya....(sesat jalan daa..) namun tak mematahkan semangat untuk bersama-sama berkumpul di rumah Shima Afifi di Puchong Utama untuk program Gath BBQ Raya 2006.
Walaupun ketibaan bahan BBQ lambat drpd dijangka, ia tak mematahka semangat yg hadir untuk mengkelepet kesemua makanan sehingga ke titisan terakhir. Terima kasih kpd Ajil yang menyediakan makanan yg menjilat jari, kepada para2 lelaki yang bersungguh2 membakar ayam dan hot dog serta tuan umah, Shima dan Radzi yang tak jemu2 memberi petunjuk arah kpd yg sesat di pangkal jalan serta menyediakan tempat pertemuan kali ini. Harap2 jiran sebelah tak komplen ek sebab masing2 bising masa acara meeting berdiri di porch luar.
Semoga dapat jumpa lagi dengan ex-TDK yg lain yg tak dapat join kali ini

The ShawShank Redemption
The first thing yg aku buat ialah pergi ke Ezy Video dimana aku menyewa VCD selama ini. Terkejut bila diberitahu yg filem tu di banned di Malaysia. Uiksss....pelik. Habis, dimana pula aku menonton filem itu sebelum ini? Mujur ada rakan forum yang bermurah hati memberi link torrent untuk aku download DVD version filem ini yang mana ia mengambil masa seminggu untuk siap sepenuhnya.
Citer ni memang best sebab ia menceritakan bagaimana kehidupan didalam penjara Shawshank dan bagaimana kaitan antara hope dan fear dalam kehidupan kita. Dan lebih best kerana aku terjumpa audio book bagi filem ini.

Jokes Of The Day
Apa kaitan gambar-gambar ini? Tatau, baca ini
Mari kita lihat apa kata rakyat Malaysia mengenai hal ini:
Houdini: Esok lusa keluar pulak berita... menumbuk sambal belacan tanpa graviti
Nash^Roy: korang jgn tak tau.. bila diorang main batu seremban kat angkasa.. secara tak lgsg seluruh dunia akan terpegun dan terus berminat utk main batu seremban.. bandar seremban akan menjadi terkenal.. acara batu seremban akan dipertandingkan dlm sukan olimpik.. sah2 malaysia menang..tu baru satu dunia tgk.. cuba bayangkan alien2 kat planet lain tgk.. mau kite wat pertandingan batu seremban antara planet.. antara galaksi.. woww.. mmg terer la idea diorang ni..
Jeff Ooi: Glocal means... you get into a global space to play local games.
Palmdoc: The reasoning that the "programme was not borne by the Treasury, but derived by offsetting the purchase of Sukhoi jet fighters from Russia by the Defence Ministry" is just ridiculous. You mean we traded in cold hard cash for a space joy ride? The Russians must be laughing all the way to the bank.
ktak: 18 Russian Sukhoi (Su-30MKM) fighter jets (2003) = US$900 million / RM3.42 billion
Malaysian astronaut aboard a Russian rocket = RM95 million
First Malay astronaut to play traditional Malay children's games in space (2007) = PRICELESS
robin hood: The experiment is actually a communication breakthrough to invite Aliens from other planets to Malaysia. Visit Malaysia 2020
moo_t: I can imagine this happens :

Pro Of Being Self-Employed
Soon I will be declaring myself as self-employed. Life must goes on and I thanked Allah for giving me opportunity to venture into other areas after my services with the current company end. I will still be in the education line and this time I can put in 110% of my effort and focus on it. There are several pro of being self-employed that I can predict and plan for myself....
- No more 8-5 schedule. I can't say no to my dad anymore and giving him excuses not to wake up early in the morning and join him jogging while it's still dark.
- I can visit the swimming pool when everyone else in the office. Bleh conquer the whole pool for myself...hehehe. Bleh gi gym as well.
- I can spend more time reading the 1GB of ebooks that I have been downloading for the past 6 months
- I can spend time doing voluntary works
- No need to get MC when I'm sick and no need to worry about applying leave
- I have more time to learn sales and marketing skills which is essentials in todays' business world
- I can play chess more often and attend any courses during weekdays if it doesn't clash with my upcoming classes and projects
- Spend more time in libraries
- Write more books and teaching manuals on IT teaching and chess teaching
- I can plan holiday easily. No need to join the huge crowd during school holiday or public holiday
- If I work harder and smarter, I can earn more....goodbye o fix salary
- I can learn more about trading, stock exchange, unit trust etc..

Kursus Abiter Catur
Sepanjang dua hari berkursus, peserta telah didedahkan kepada pelbagai jenis permainan catur, peraturan-peraturan, cara pengurusan kelab dan banyak lagi. Sangat beruntung bagi saya kerana dapat menyertai program ini yang sangat jarang dikendalikan di Malaysia. Malah kami didedahkan tentang tugas arbiter yakni pengadil bagi pertandingan catur.
Di Amerika Syarikat telah terbukti catur mampu membantu pelajar yang lemah dalam pelajaran dan pelajar yang mempunyai masalah disiplin. Terdapat satu artikel di dalam Readers Digest mengenai usaha seorang guru menggunakan pendekatan catur untuk membantu pelajar yang lembab dalam pelajaran dan pelajar yang mempunyai masalah disiplin. Sebab tu aku join program tu untuk lihat bagaimana konsep tersebut dapat diaplikasikan di Malaysia. Ini kerana saban hari kita melihat bilangan pelajar bermasalah disiplin semakin bertambah. Seperti yang aku citer sebelum ini, ada pelajar tahun 3 yang dah mula 'melawat' balai polis kerana kes-kes mencuri dan sebagainya.
Aku harap projek ini dapat dijalankan dan aku yakin pelajar-pelajar bermasalah ini masih boleh dibantu.

Insurans- Kenapa takut?
Bagi aku keperluan insurans paling penting buat masa ini ialah insurans kesihatan (takyah bersesak dalam spital gomen, kasi can pada org miskin) dan insurans diri (kalau kemalangan, cacat sapa nak tanggung?). Sebenarnya ramai agak sceptical dengan insurans kerana bersabit dengan nyawa dan pelaburan yang meragukan. Again, study dulu sebelum membuat pilihan. Aku pernah ajukan persoalan ini kepada Ustaz Amran di Mingguan Malaysia tapi takde reply sampai ke hari ini. Aku agak hairan kenapa ulama kurang menyentuh bidang insurans apatah lagi bidang kewangan Islam. I guess kekurangan ilmuan Islam dalam bidang ini menyebabkan susah nak cari penerangan mengenai hal ini yang agak kompleks. Walau apapun, bertindak sebelum terlambat. Tak guna menyimpan beribu-ribu dalam akaun simpanan kalau akhirnya dicurahkan ke bil perubatan. Back to zero. Paling takut jika sampai terpaksa menggadai aset.

HARI RAYA 2006 - Day One, Malam Raya Pertama
HARI RAYA 2006 - Day One
Hari raya pertama biasa sahaja. Cuaca KL pun mendung, hujan di tengahari , petang dan malam. Main bunga api kene kensel sebab hujan. Kesian budak2 kecik menunggu2 bila nak cucuh bunga api. Sok2 lah ya adik-adik. Petang tadi masing2 boring tahap cipan dok dlm umah, aku bawak lah depa ke taman permainan depan umah pakcik aku tu. Tu dia ligan.....macam terlepas dari kandang. Sempat le snap beberapa gambo anak-anak buah.
Russia defense department(RDD) : We are going to give joy ride for 2 Malaysia, since their government pay outrageous price for our aircraft.
Russia Space Agency(RSA) : But those people are dangerous, they want to splash tea around throw stone under zero gravity.
RDD: Don't worry, we will handle it.
RSA: Do you think the RM95 millions worth to risk to lost the WHOLE space shuttle that cost USD$1 billions?
RDD: No, we are no going to send them to space. As soon as those astronauts enter the shuttle, sedate them and we bring them back to ground. The rest will be make inside studio.
RSA : But how do you simulate zero gravity?
RDD : Don't worry, we never short of drugs to create the Zero-gravity hallucination.
j-boy: dear all, i think play mahjong there better la, send them to me for training. including the russian too....plain stupid minister...Apa kata anda?
