Brad Pitt vs Dentist

Ada sekali, ‘tok guru’ aku bercerita;

Once, there was a doctor who newly setup his own dental clinic at Hollywood.
Nak dijadikan citer, pada hari pertama klinik gigi dia officially open to public, muncul lah Brad Pitt di muka pintu. Makna kata, Brad Pitt merupakan the first customer mengunjungi klinik tersebut.

So, Brad Pit pun bertanya lah kepada Doktor Gigi tu,

Brad Pitt: kalu I nak buat ’scaling’ untuk kesemua 32 batang gigi saya, how much will it cost?

Dentist: Hmm, let see… since you are my first customer, I will charge you 1000 USD(~RM3,300).

Brad Pitt: What the F**k!!! Kau giler ke. Ini nak meniaga ke nak ‘sembelih’ pelanggan ni. Ahh, forget it lah. Tak jadi I nak buat scaling gigi kat sini.

Brad Pitt berjalan menuju ke pintu keluar, apabila Doctor gigi cepat2 menyapanya kembali.

Dentist: Okay.. Okay.. Look here. I don’t want to loose you as my first customer. I tell you what. How about if I offer you this special package. I’m very sure, you will be most like it.
For scaling services;

the 1st teeth I’ll charged you only 1 cent .
2nd teeth, I’ll charged you only 2 cent.
3rd teeth, I’ll charged you only 4 cent.
4th teeth, I’ll charged you only 8 cent.
5th teeth, I’ll charged you only 16 cent.
6th teeth, I’ll charged you only 32 cent.
7th teeth, I’ll charged you only 0.64 cent.
And so on, until I clean all your 32 teeth.

And you don’t have to pay me now. I sent the bill to your office tomorrow, OK.

Brad Pitt: You try to play fool with me do you. Apa, you ingat I sengket sangat ke. Kenapa murah gila baban macam ni?

Dentist: Just consider it as ‘promotional packages’ for my very first & special celebrities customers.

Brad Pitt, tanpa perlu befikir lagi, terus saje setuju dengan tawaran harga untuk mencucu & scaling giginya itu.

Keesokkan harinya, seperti yang dijanjikan, Brad Pitt telah menerima bil yang dihantar oleh doctor gigi. Alangkah ’terkezut’ beruknye Brad Pitt bila bil untuk mencuci & ’mengscaling’ giginya berjumlah 21,474,836.48 USD!!!!!
Kenapa? Anda tak percaya? Lihat carta yang dilampirkan ini;


Actually, fokus di sini bukan 21 juta USD tu.
I just want to relate this story to trading or investment or business concepts. Regardless, whether you trade in share markets, future stocks or properties investments; the key point here is “CONSISTENCY LEAD TO COMPOUNDING OF RETURN”.

Just 3 rules je if you involve in those areas.
1. Sabar
2. Jangan Tamak.
3. Consistent.

Kalu dalam bahasa orang putih, “Sikit-sikit, lama-lama jadi bukit“.
Think Big, Start small.
Trading di Maybank2u or di Cimb i trade misal nye menyediakan peluang trade dengan capital kalau tak salah aku serendah RM500.

So, lets try again;
If let say, in a job interview, and the HR is creative enough to offer you to choose between 2 salary scheme, which one would you chose;

Scheme salary A:
Month Basic salary RM5000.00

Scheme salary B:
Daily basic salary where on first day u will get 1 sen, 2 sen on second day, 4 sen on third day, 8 sen on fourth day, and on so on till 28th day.

Scheme A or Scheme B yang anda pilih? :-)

Apa2 pun, ingatlah, sekallipun satu ketika nanti anda mungkin rugi, anda tetap ada 1 sen sebagai modal untuk kembali menongkah ke depan!

Demi masa, aku Lapar...

Subject makan ni memang favorite aku.

Aku still remember petua dari ‘mahzab sesat’ kawan aku ni, Zainal F.
Kalu pegi makan buffet, especially during Ramadhan – buka puasa, maklumlah bayar mahal, satu orang range dalam RM50- RM99++. So untuk memastikan makanan tak ‘membazir’, & berbaloi dengan harga yang telah dibayar, petuanya, jangan baca ‘Bismillah..’ ketika makan. Nas nya, kalu baca Bismillah, kita cepat terasa kenyang.. hehehe.

**Korang jangan le amalkan pula. Ni saja joke ketika perut aku tengah lapar nih.
Kepada si Zainal kita (if you read this post) jgn le marah. Joke aje... hehe..

Bila ada masa nanti, aku dedahkan lagi beberapa petua mahzab sesat
Muahahahaha..



Anyway If you drop by @ Taiping, Perak, meh aku rekomen beberapa makan place yang terbaik..

1. Mee Udang.. (gambar kat atas tu)
Lokasi : Di Kuala Septang(Port Weld)
Udang nye dah penuh sepingan, Mee,, terus hilang dari pandangan. Harga ada RM3, & RM5

2. Nasi + Gulai Ikan Sembilang + Teh Ais.
Lokasi: kat Trong, (jalan menghala ke Pantai Remis).
Makan nasi tu, aku syor taruh kicap(brand cap ayam) + gulai ikan sembilang. Makan dengan ikan sembilang, perghh.. sambil hirup teh ais.. Pergh..

3. Koeytiaw DOLI
Lokasi : Bandar Taiping, Sebaris dengan block 7-Eleven, or Bank Islam.
memang Power, brand DOLI dah established dan sinonim kat Taiping since 1980's lagi..

4. Bihun/Mee/Koeytiaw sup Daging.
Lokasi : Bandar Taiping, Pasar tani.
Daging dia fresh, segar bugar.. pergh..

Nanti kalu aku balik Taiping lagi, aku amik gambar and post kat sini..

The Ultimate Superheroes

Dialog Abah dengan abang & adik malam tadi;

Aku: Abang Danial & Adik Daim bila besar nak jadi apa?

Adik Daim: Adik nak jadi ABAHMAN, nak jadi power macam abah..

Aku: :-) No komen..

Ya..! Superhero terhebat alaf kini...Abahman.
Tak perlu DNA mutant.
Tak perlu gigitan lelabah.
Tak perlu expose to radiasi..
Cukup sekadar menjadi abah yang baik untuk anak2 dan suami mithali pada isteri.. hehehe..

Apa ada pada Jamban..

According to Wkipedia dictionary; Blue Ocean Strategy is a business strategy that promotes a systematic approach for making the competition irrelevant.


Contoh di bawah diambil dari blog Serrina:


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.


2. Astro vs TV1, TV2, TV3, 8TV & TV9

red ocean strategy : TV1, TV2, TV3 dan lain2 adalah stesen tv percuma.

blue ocean strategy: 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?


3. AIR Asia vs MAS

red ocean strategy : MAS ialah sebuah syarikat penerbangan. Tambangnya anda sedia maklum. Standard harga ratus2.

blue ocean strategy: 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.

Now, back to the ‘Jamban’ story, entah apa ‘jembalang’ dah menyampuk brother aku –Azimin Samsul Mohamed Tazilan, a lecturer/researcher in Interior, Art & Design faculty, UKM, managed to come out with a brilliant ideas & concepts of breathing ‘jamban(doors, ceiling roof & walls) based on our Tok Daud’s kampung house(err.. I mean jamban) in Sungai bayor, Selama Perak.

And you know what???


He eventually won a Double Gold award at British Invention Show(2007) - Britain largest expo to showcase the latest inventions, innovations and new technology around from around the globe.



Again, Blue Ocean strategy concept was applied here.

red ocean strategy: Conventional jamban like in Pudu Raya.

blue ocean strategy: Breathing Jamban with open concept..







Kudos to my Bro..

GU Setup in Morning session

Based on my past experience, I notice that GU is quite easy to predict it's movement within period 6am – 9am Malaysian time (GMT +8).

What you have to do in early morning at 6am are...
1. Solat subuh dulu... Wajib tuh.

2. Draw vertical line to indicate today’s 6am time. (My broker time is 23:00).
3. Get the Pivot level or line. Kalu cara manual dptkan High & Low candlestick semalam, do your calculation, and you will get the pivot line. Cara paling mudah, execute je indicator pivot.mq4. tu.. Google je benda ni kat internet, sure jumpa.. hehe.
4. So, after 6am, which mean the opening price for today, if GU price di bawah Pivot, bermakna it’s BEARISH. i.e. momentum is down.. at least within period 6am – 9am.
5. So before 6:30am, buat pending order - SELL LIMIT, 10-15 pips from current price. SL -50, TP 10-15 pips.
6. By pukul 9:30am, check balik, if no order execute, then cancel je lah pending order tu, tak ada rezeki hari ni. Esok dan esok dan esok masih ada peluang lagi..

7. Begitu juga if GU price open di atas Pivot. Bermakna it’s BULLISH. i.e. momentum UP at least within period 6am – 9am. Buat le cara yang serupa seperti step 5 & 6. Tapi BUY LIMIT, jangan korang buat sell limit pulak..


“Untung, gelak sama-sama. Rugi, menangis sorang-sorang... hehehe..

Before You Call Streamyx Tech Support…

I faced an internet-streamyx connection problem last 2 week at home.
Baru online 10 min, terus connection cut. Lepas tu, dah tak boleh connect sampai esok.

Tengok kat modem, ‘yellow’ light asyik blinking je. Maknanya, no connection ler tuh..
FYI, kalu ’yellow’ light on dan statik, maknanye your streamyx connection ok.

So apa lagi, Dalam hati, menyumpah, ini sure Line Streamyx la ni yang problem..
Terus call Streamyx Customer service support di talian: 1-300-888-515

Hmm.. support Good. Professional.
Berbeza dgn tanggapan aku dulu, well.. you know lah.. ‘Gomen oriented style’ work macamana.. Aku tak nak touch bab tu.

Within 3 working days, Streamyx hantar technician and my problem resolved..

What I noticed from this incident is, problem with streamyx connection; dalam kes aku ni, sebenarnye owner/aku boleh settle sendiri. Tak payah buang masa & bil telefon nak call support, and buang masa 3 hari lagi nak tunggu technician datang repair.

Kita boleh troubleshoot sendiri...

Ini Guidline dia:

Aku tak pasti modem brand lain.. yang ini, Telekom yang beri free masa register dulu:
Model: ADSL Modem DB102

Kalu asyik2 no connection, ‘yellow’ light asyik blinking;

1. Off kan modem tu, 30 saat, lepast tu ‘ON’ balik. Kalu still no connection;
2. Pergi rumah jiran, minta pinjam modem dengan charger dia sekali.. INGAT.. dengan charger dia sekali.
3. Pasangkan modem yang anda pinjam bersama dengan charger pinjam itu.

Kalau no connection gak, so memang confirm lah line streamyx di rumah anda atau kawasan taman anda bermasalah.. so telefon lah Streamyx Customer service support di talian: 1-300-888-515.

Kalau ada connection, HAH! Bererti, samada modem anda rosak, or charger modem rosak, or kedua-dua nya sekali.

In my case, hanya charger dia je yang rosak. Sebab, bila technician tu tukar charger baru, ON kan balik modem, terus ada connection.
Reason: Charger tu faulty.. although manage to supply the electricity power to the ADSL modem, tapi dah tak stabil. According to the technician, most probobaly due to kena petir.

Lesson learn: During kilat/ribut petir, PULL OUT your charger from the electric socket. Off modem macam tu saja tidak memadai.

Charger tu pulak boleh cari kat kedai2 IT.. Bagi aku yang malas nak keluar rumah ni, beli je lah kat Bro technician tu..RM10, mahal ke, murah ke, lantaklah.. janji aku dah boleh connect to internet balik.

Kalau confirm modem anda yang problem, buang je modem anda tu dalam lombong or longkang depan rumah, beli je yang baru kat kedai IT, habis citer....

First day at Kindergarten

Today, is the day, our heroes attend kindergarten. First day.
Since both are born in the same year.. i.e. 2st Jan 2003 & 25th Dec 2003.. (yeahhh.. same year huh….) so Umi & me decided to send both lah… bukannya apa, kalu abang je pegi, yang adiknye nanti jealous ler pulak.

My bet for today:
-abang will have no problem to ‘adapt’ with the classroom environment.Sure tak nangis punya lah..
- adik, mungkin 10 min je bertahan, lepas tu sure ‘gaduh’ nak balik nya.


Well you know what?
I’m wrong.
Adik, cool je kat class, siap lompat naik dalam van sekolah tuuu.Sampai kat umah terus citer kengkawan dia ramai ket dalam van. Abang 'bengkak' je dengar.Muka nnyesal tak naik sama.
Abang, hmm.. berlinang air mata gak kat class tadi.. After class pun balik, terpaksa Umi bawak.

Well, we'll see tomorrow how….

Today....is the Day

From today and onwards;
