Last t-shirt up for grabs is open to everyone

I should have posted this earlier, but I had purposely waited at the very last minute to surprise you and who is truly a commentator here.

To refresh back what is this all about, on January, I organized the Top Commentator contest, whereby the top commentator on blogjer will receive a t-shirt. The contest runs from January – June 2008.

Initially, the past winners are not eligible to win another t-shirt for the next month contest, even though he still becomes the top commentator for the coming months. But today I had made up my mind, to open this contest to everyone, including the past winners such as Raymond, Izat (is your blog down?) and his girlfriend, Azwan, Dekan and Catzer (your t-shirt is in process by vendor). Do you mind to see them win it again?

I’m not sure what kind of tshirt it would be, but rest assured it would be the best (but doesn’t mean expensive). I came across a couple of nice t-shirts overseas (tech related blog), but I haven’t had the chance to survey how much the shipping cost would be.

So far, all winners are from Malaysia, but keep in mind that this contest is open to everyone and from anywhere. There is no border limit, even if you’re from Iraq, Maldives or even Artic as long as there is postal service over there. This rules out aliens from space since no postal service extends their service to that place, yet.

Enough said, keep it going okay. See ya’ll July 1st.

psttt.. I had just done the makeover to my tshirt blog, it looks better now. I’ll keep posting more consistently over there. Cheers

Do you facebook?

I know, Facebook is old story, but it is evergreen. It is so popular, and even Maxis has it in its ads (hehe, hope my sister won’t ask me what Facebook or Flickr is) . Ever since the ban of Facebook on our office’s internet network, my interest in Facebook has grown up but not to the level that I’m addicted to it. Actually, it’s not me alone, but some of my colleagues who has never used Facebook tried it out and seems like they’re more addicted than me. Haha

Why I Facebook
Why I think Facebook is good? I work remotely in KL while most of my team-mates and friends are located somewhere else. And not all of them has internet at home. So the only time we can communicate through Facebook and Twitter FOC is during and slightly after office hours (but we are still working ok) AND most importantly, when everyone is online. Is it fun when you get online but nobody is around?

Facebook at home?
I seldom sign in into my Facebook when I’m at home. And if I sign in, I won’t be there for so long. Unless you’re still single, when you’re at home, you’ll have plenty of things to do right? Your kids, your spouse and etc, all need attention from you. This blog needs my attention too,hehe.

Balance
As long as you can divide your time between your work and Facebook, I don’t see much problem here. In fact, Facebook has become a media or bridge that can get foreigners closer to each other. Not everyone of us is outspoken, but still, they can communicate through Facebook. Amazing isn’t it.

I know you’re addicted when you just join. You want to add as many friends as you want, and try out as many apps as you can. You’ll be under control within a week of using it.

More friends more fun?
I try to minimize as little as friends that I don’t recognize in real or offline world. For me, it’s not the number of friends that matters, but the ‘WHO IS HIM/HER’ matters most. But I do accept new friends that do not blatantly do promotions here and there. And 1 more thing, I don’t accept all ‘Facebook request’. It’s a lot!! But this shouldn’t be a big problem since Facebook now has Ignore All function built.

As usual, be friends with me. You’ll find some fellow bloggers in there. See you in facebook!!
