Exploring Facebook……
I was reluctant to try out facebook at first, hate to restart all those process again (register, adding, confirm friends, duh…)
But the Maxis advertisement (featuring mobile Facebook), and my senior colleague “persuasion” had changed my mind. Hehe, free time at work mah~
FB surprises me with lots of WOW factors and highly innovative features.
- Fine grained access control (able to control the access level for each information)
- Tag other people for every photos, videos, postings
- Categorizing your friends into separate lists. (Friendster listing of friends is totally a mess.)
- People you may know…. (How the algorithm works? by using the minimum level of CPU…..)
- Able to import activity from other sites, and also RSS feeds.
- News feeds and status updates. Some kind of micro-blogging.
- Developer (crucial… programmers are improving Facebook free of charge)
- Advertising (Very advanced advertising mechanism, targeting the ads to the relevant audience by using the profile details!)
Drawbacks:
- Rather complicated.
- Annoying notifications from the application / games. More than 100 application requests pending in my account.
- Messy wall (profile page), too personalized… More like a game site rather than showing the personal profile.

被遗忘的时光
doiwl September 19th, 2008
部落格里面有很多没有发表的drafts。
好多时候都有感而发，但到最后还是没有勇气把它发表出来。
甚至在还没有动笔之前，就已经打消念头了。
人很矛盾。
当下或想把心底话都写下来留作回忆；未来却刻意去淡忘这些事物。
渐渐地，我甚少写下来，想让自己有机会选择性或者模模糊糊地记在心坎里。
曾在整理房间的时候，看到以前记述自己心情的草稿，顿时百般滋味涌上心头。
有些“被遗忘的时光”，在和老朋友喝茶叙旧的时候被提起了。
突然间闪电掠过，那些画面历历在目。
我才了解，所谓“被遗忘的时光”，只不过是自己的一厢情愿。
那些岁月，虽然很少被记起来，却从未被遗忘过。
那段时光，或许已成大家的集体记忆，磨灭不了。
This is terrible… Reply from MMU Melaka SRC President Mr Hafiz

Original: Red. Amended: Blue.
Relply (REPLY) Comments
Assalamualaikum and hi everyone, my apology (I would like to apologize?) coz I just know all of these comments since my new house currently don’t have internet connection yet.However,i will answer all the misunderstanding and fuss here.
Firstly about the “annons” statement…Hemm, what we have here? An English teacher or maybe can call him walking dictionary. My fellow friend, I don’t know your judgment based on what but I don’t think my English is very weak. I have a certain standard of English even though not as “great” as you. I just want to advise you that plz don’t cross the border…my patience have the limit. About the petition to condemn me and want to see En. Zam regarding that matter… just give it a try bro. I’m looking forward too.However, I open to my friend here to come see me personally this Monday, 8th Sept 2008…10pm till 12pm at the SRC room. I don’t think you only know to talk craps here but don’t dare to face me. I will welcome you then. Maybe we can settle our disputes there.
About the SRC blog…I can’t see the relationship between creating new blog with showing our power. Where are the connections???But I just want to make some correction here…We can’t log previous SRC’s blog coz of previous SRC, Nicholas to be precise is using his own personal email and password.However to encounter (encounter = facing, tackle should be the right word) this problem (SRC keep changing blog) for the future, we are now developing SRC website that using “mmu.edu.my” domain. This website under development. So plz be patient.
Next, regarding requesting additional computers etc.Haish, you all has to confirm with STAD first before you raise up this matter. We never request it!!For your information, SRC only have 1 computer and the others in the SRC’s room are belongs to respective SRC’s (committee members’) laptops and computers.
Regarding appointed candidate problems…plz refer to (GENERAL ELECTION) PROCEDURE 1997 in section qualification of candidates of SRC and also you have to refer to the announcement of qualification of appointed SRC which you can find in previous bulletin board. Sassi fulfill all the criteria and there is no problems arise regarding not respect the STAD. For your information he not involve in Industrial training throughout 3 sems here and he will be available all the sems.
About the student’s welfare (lift problems, library fees etc), we already aware that problems and already rise (RAISE) up this matters to the En. Zam. On top of that, this coming Thursday, 11th Sept 2008, we will have a meeting with respective head of divisions in MMU mainly to solve all of these problems. We will do our best to serve you all.
Reminder: We, SRC do not (SRC committees are not being) paid of what we are doing, so you all must have some manners in dealing with us. Plz do not breach the freedom of giving comments here. This service mends to the students who really have problems and not to the people who always want to bombarding people. Plz do not bombard any of SRC members here and also you are not allowed to use harsh words. If there are any unsatisfied with the SRC members or even with me…You all can construct (gosh, we cannot do construction work on you, consult) me personally, I’m welcoming you all. Be professional and don’t act like (not needed) childish.
President
Student (Students’) Representative Council
Multimedia University
Melaka Campus
- I was truly shocked when I first saw this posting in the Official Blog of Students’ Representative Council, MMU Melaka Campus 2008/2009.
- It is even much terrifying and embarrassing when the posting was undersigned by the Honorable President of SRC.
- Take note at the highlighted in red parts above. Please don’t say that I am picky on this. This is not a personal blog, this is definitely not a place to voice out personal feelings where no one cares about your terminology used, clarity of language and etc. This is such an official statement-like posting which ought to be proof-read a few times and free from any grammar mistakes.
- The posting is full with:
- wrong spellings: coz, plz, relply, plz
- wrong word.
- even the official name is wrong. Gosh, can you say yourself as a President when you get the wrong spelling of Students’ Representative Council?
- Man are born imperfect, that is why we should recognize our own weakness and try to improve it. Rather than be arrogant, there are lots of better way to counter others’ attack. Jyh Herng told me that “a simple sentence like ‘Yes, my English is not that good, but I’m here to lead and make changes, I’m sorry if my level of English does not fit with yours‘ can easily solve the problem”. Always be humble.
- Quoted from jh, “Nobody’s perfect, he is trying to be perfect, so, it sucks to be him I guess. Even my English is not perfect.”
- There are a lot of ways to convey a same message, so the choice of language is very important. Rather than be provocative like
- Reminder: We, SRC do not paid of what we are doing, so you all must have some manners in dealing with us. Plz do not breach the freedom of giving comments here.
that sounds so terrible… Why not - “Since SRC responsibility is carried out on a voluntary basis, we will appreciate if you are able to provide constructive comments in order to improve us better.
- Reminder: We, SRC do not paid of what we are doing, so you all must have some manners in dealing with us. Plz do not breach the freedom of giving comments here.
- Actually I would not mind if the Mr. Hafiz posted the message in a proper and formal Malay and find others to translate it into English.
- Quality matters! If the President of SRC had set a bad example, posting a official statement full with mistakes and errors. I wonder how SRC going to enforce the rule like clubs and societies must post the bulletin in proper English?
- Learn public relation skills and show your professionalism! To me, SRC image had been seriously tarnished, this is not a personal matter anymore as the leader reflects the whole organization, or even representing all MMU Melaka students.
- The problem is not merely poor grasp of English but the arrogance, too protective of himself and unwillingness to accept others’ comments.
- Mr. Hafiz, this is not a personal attack but the comments are meant for the better good of MMU community. You don’t ask for respect, you must earn for it. People do not respect you just because of the title you are holding, but the personal qualities! Do some self-improvement and put some effort in SRC public relations / image building.
- If the bad attitude carries on, SRC will gradually lose the support of students, till the stage of “marahkan nyamuk, kelambu dibakar” (burn the mosquito net because of one mosquito). That will be miserable.
