Phew! I finally managed to have some time to go back writing stuff for my blog. Was terribly busy for the past 2 weeks, with the Open Source Software Conference in Putrajaya last week and a software testing workshop in Cyberjaya this week. It was really a hectic fortnight. But something interesting still DID happen somewhere in the middle.

There was this person I used to hang out with 3 years ago. Let’s call that person ABC. These days, ABC is such a pain in the ass for me. ABC actually managed to irritate me no matter how. It was a mystery how I used to tolerate ABC even when my friends actually adviced me against it. Oh how I wished I should have followed their advice. That would’ve saved me from the intermittent mental anguish that I encountered after ABC decided not to be “friends” with me anymore after a while.

Credit cards make most of our lives easier. There is no need to carry vulnerable cash around wherever you go, plus it is much safer than regular cash. But what happens if you have bad payment history, or any other form of situation that prohibits you from having a credit card? Well, you can always count on applying for one of those Bad Credit Credit Cards. These cards are spcifically designed to cater to the people who have plenty of obstacles in applying for a new card. Not only that, as when you use these cards, you can easily increase your credit rating. Life can be frustrating sometimes when you cannot use a credit card due to a bad credit rating, and you are faced with many problems while making purchases since some places give better preference to credit card users.

Civil liberties are something many of us don’t have the faintest idea on. I admit, even I was not any wiser regarding the topic. With all the marches and rallies tat have happened lately, I decided to learn more about this thing that we call “CIVIL LIBERTIES”. And as I have always stressed that education is the best weapon that we have against any form of opression or tyranny or whatever-you-wanna-call-it, I have tried to educate myself, and to a further extent, try to educate you as you are reading this.

I spent yesterday and today attending the Malaysia Government Open Source Software Conference (MyGOSSCON) held in the Putrajaya International Convention Centre (PICC). My bosses were generous enough to send me and another colleague of mine there to gain some insight on the technologies presented there, and also to promote our company’s product to the public and private agencies participating there.

If you have seen the Chicken Little Trailer, then I guess you woud’ve heard this song. Little do most Malaysians know that this piece was performed by a Moldovan Band called O-Zone. They were so fucking famous in Europe and this song peaked at all charts. Too bad it didn’t do the same at the American charts, but hey, who gives a shit?! Listen to it, and I guarantee you’d love it… Even if you may wonder what the fuck are they saying…
