iftitah

"your name is very hard to pronounce" - a chinese friend

"mesti awak tau doa Iftitah kan?! sila baca.." - pk hem (form 4, SMKBS)

"kamu tengok tak Kasih Iftitah?" - amil zakat (masjid sitiawan, raya tahun lepas)

i must admit, i have a really unique name. since i was a kid my friends selalu kata "nama ko cam perempuan la".

even when i grew up, people still ask, "are you local?" ..maybe they never heard of it before.

actually i don't really take serious of what people say, in fact, sometimes i explained to them the meaning of my name (for those yg interested la).

when i was young, i've always wonder why my parents gave me this name. not that i regret having the name, just that i want to know the reasons they picked this name instead of any other common name.

"Iftitah?! Pembukaan. Patut la duduk dekat-dekat pintu" - uztat kmpk (time sesi suai-kenal, nama sorang-sorang dia translate)

there.. pembukaan . the first. the beginning.

but that was the translation. of course i was the first child of my parents, but was that the only reason?!

i didn't dare to ask my parents direct maybe because of respect towards them.

"ibu abah ko bagi nama-nama yang First-first je tuk anak-anak dia", my aunt start bercerita.

"they want you guys to be the best, top-of-the-list, #1.. that's why they named you after the first prayer of solat.."

"that was also the reason why they named ur brothers n sis, 'Aliff', 'Adam' and 'Aishah'", she finishes.

now i realized how big their love for their childrens.

thank you mom & dad. love u guys. i'm proud of my name.

harimau berantai

melayu & silat memang tak dapat dipisahkan. mungkin sebab its the traditonal martial art peningalan nenek moyang zaman hang tuah, kalau tak silap.

i never learn silat, or any other martial arts, tapi suka jugak dengar-dengar pasal teknik-teknik especially yang batin-batin. cekak harimau la, harimau berantai la, ntah macam-macam lagi.

"tak payah la masuk silat. ngarut!", told my mom yang agak modern. that's why i never join kot.

one time bila balik kampung, i had some conversation with my grandfather;

"kenapa orang takut harimau berantai?", tanya dia

"mmm.. ntah?!", jawab aku interested to know the real answer.

"buat apa nak takut harimau yang berantai? ..kan dia tak boleh lari", gelak my grandfather.

seriously, i felt i was cheaply taken. dem.

damn-rich club

few months back i ran through rich list in fortune 500 site. i noticed something, some of them got rich because of legacy, and some of them were self-made. it made me wonder;

kalau la diorang ni ada club, masa gathering mesti ada some of them yang segan nak datang.

it's not because of 'i got 10 billions more than you', it's because do they really deserve what they own.

of course the one yang self-made mesti bangga (and i feel the should) sebab diorang work very hard to own their place in the list.

tapi yang legacy?

"saya kaya sebab bapak saya."

rasa-rasa ayat di-atas cam some sort of loser statement tak compare ngan ayat ni;

"i build my empire and i own it!"

tapi ramai je yang bangga joli-joli dengan duit hasil peninggalan orang.

patut la si-Hilton tanak kasi duit kat Paris, buat malu billionaire club je.

"being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't matter to me.. going to bed at night saying i've done something wonderful.. that's what matter to me" - steve jobs

totally free wifi (bukan 'steal this wifi')

scenario a:
free wifi in hotel (usually lobby).
scenario b:
free wifi in mcd

ada beza ke? dua-dua free. open pada semua manusia mahupun bot. speed, lebih kurang, manade orang yg sanggup lepak mcd or hotel lobby semata-mata nak download movie or p0rn.

the differences: the customer & the service.

kenapa?
a-service down kat hotel mesti service provider/hotel kena maki even baru 1minit down. time ni la nak tengok support lari-lari pegi reboot AP/server dan sebagainya.

b-service down kat mcd xde pulak orang gi counter or jumpa manager tuk complain. kejap ni wifi down tunggu la ntah bila nak up kan balik.

reasons:
1. hotel guest/customer biasanya orang-orang business. diorang ni educated, bigshot, semua diorang betul;orang lain salah. they stick to the principle 'the customer is al! ways right;and i'm the customer'.

"fuck it!! i just want to send my email!", kata mereka.

2. customer mcd pulak banyak budak-budak, student, guna wifi surfing facebook, IM. diorang xkenal lagi dunia, diorang takut nak bersuara. diorang xtau benda free pun kita boleh complain.

but.. bukan semua macam tu. i do feel they want to shout 'your service suckssss!!!!!' but they dont know whom they should say it to.

"saya cashier je bang", kata orang mcd.

seriously,
to service provider, take care of your service.
to customer, jangan takut complain, know ur rights.

p/s: sapa la yg provide wifi kat mcd bangsar?! network anda down, 8-10 user affected. sila check SLA anda.

steal this wi-fi!

sila tolong lock wifi anda dengan wep/wpa key jika tanak orang lain
guna bandwidth anda yang tak seberapa.

or.. if u are generous enough to give it for free

maybe u can put ur wireless ssid as:
1. makanfree
2. no-torrent-plz
3. 1mbps-tak-luak
4. sponsoredbyshahril
5. steal this wifi

streamyx tu dah memang slow, but make sure its because of streamyx,
not some people downloading p0rn from ur free network.

please.. do understand it before buying anything from lowyat. ni tak,
bangla lowyat tu cakap best, terus nak beli. modem sekarang all in
one. wireless enable by default.

tapi kalau anda-anda bermurah hati, apa salahnya. try sikit trick
di-atas so at least it will bring smiles to those who want to steal ur
bandwidth.

yg-boring-dengar-network-problem,
iftitah

ps: di-post dari wifi curi ber-ssid 'linksys'.
