How many people joined twitter? How many people using it? What is twitter about? What for to tweet and update ourselves?
There is no doubt that the traffic of twitter is growing at an incredible rate. According to my research, there are roughly 18 millions of registered users.
So What is Twitter for? Twitter is a popular micro blogging for us to update ourselves and follow your friends and family and even News, Branded Fashion, Apple, Obama Barack? or your favourite movie stars! Besides that, business owner can even grow their business and dominate the market by tweeting. Some people may found job and employment in twitter too.
Okay, lets compare with Facebook, Twitter may sound tiny to compare with 200 millions active users of Facebook! However, Twitter will continue to grow and it is a good tool for people to start blogging. It is short, simple and clear micro blog or updating your status. Someday, Twitter will become a huge social networking area for people and business to grow!
So how to get started?
Firstly, sign up for an account! Of course, thats easy.
What you should enter into your profile?
I recommend to create a profile of your real identity or your company name. Make sure your profile name easily to recognize and represent you or your company. Put photo of yourself, your avatar or logo of your company.
After creating a profile, whats next?
Building followings! After signing up, you can now start following people!
First, start to follow someone you know. Then, find your favourite celebrities to follow =)
You can get to know new friends at twitter, just go search column and type a keyword eg Business - then twitter will directly link you to some users are interested in business or talking about business.
What can I do besides following? What other features?
Okay, besides following others or followed by other, you can tweet about your current status, what are you doing, tweet your blog post every time you post new stuff and tweet interesting news in order to share with the community.
Apart from that, when people tweets you, make sure you reply and respond to them by update another tweets with @username. You can even call your friend with twitter and JAJAH! Just create an account of JAJAH. Then type in @call @username, JAJAH will automatically link your phone number to the number of the one you wish to call. Although I haven't try that, but will try it soon =)
Few tips
- Don tweet crap or rubbish, tweet what you are doing, why you doing it and talk about yourself.
- Tweet your blog post
- Leverage twitter to advertising
So lets join twitter, you will get a better experience of social media, trust me!

Hey everyone, today I would like to share with you all something. Thats right, about this book, The Tao of Warren Buffet. It is a book about the Quotations and Interpretations to help and guide you to billionaire wealth like Warren Buffet, the world richest investor, the best stock investing Guru!
For me, inside this book, you will get important advice from Warren about life skill, getting rich, business life, education and workplace.
There are many categories but I just list out some of the important points:
Quoted from Warren Buffett
Getting & Staying Rich
1. Rule No.1 Never lose money. Rule No.2 Never forget rule No.1.
2. Never be afraid to ask for too much when selling or offer too little when buying.
3. It is impossible to unsign a contract, so do all your thinking before you sign.
4. It is easier to stay out of trouble than get out of trouble.
5. You should invest like a Catholic marries-for life.
6. It takes twenty years to build a reputation and five minutes to lose it. If you think about that, you will do thing differently.
7. I don't try to jump over seven foot bars; I look around for one foot bars that i can step over.
Business
1. If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
2. You don't have to make money back the same way you lost it.
3. I look for busnesses in which i think i can predict what they are going to look like in ten to fifteen years time. Take Wrigley's chewing gum. I don't think the Internet is going to change how people chew gum.
Education
1. You have to think for yourself. It always amazes me how high IQ people mindlessly imitate. I never get good ideas talking to other people.
2. The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is.
3. You want to learn from experience, but you want to learn from other people's experience when you can.
Workplace
1. In looking for someone to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. But the most important is integrity, because if they don't have that, the other two qualities are going to kill you.
2. The really good business manager does not wake up in the morning and say," this is the day that i am going to cut costs," any more than he wakes up and decides to practice breathing.
3. We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds, though i have learned to live with those also.
4. If you hit a hole in one on every hole, you wouldn't play golf for very long.
Advisor, analyst
1. Never ask a barber if you need a hair cut.
2. Forcasts usually tell us more of the forecaster than of the forecast.
Why not to diversify
1. Diversification is a protection against ignorance. It makes very little sense for those who know what they are doing.
2. Why not invest your assests in the companies you really like? Too much of a good thing can be wonderful.
3. You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.
Discipline and prudence
1. If you let yourself be undisciplined on the small things, you will probably be undisciplined on the large things as well.
2. Imagine that you had a car and that was the only car you'd have for your entire lifetime. Of course, you'd care for it well, chaging the oil more frequently than necessary and driving carefully. You have only one mind and one body. Prepare them for lifem care for them. You can enhance your mind over time. A person main asset is themselves, so preserve and enchance yourself.
3. We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy, and to be greedy only when others are fearful.
When to sell,When to leave
1. The most important thing to do if you find yourself in a hole is stop digging.
2. We never look back. We just figure there is so much to look forward to that there is no sense thinking of what we might have done. It just doesn't make any difference. You can only live life forward.
3. If you don't make mistakes, you can't make decisions.
4. That which goes up doesn't necessarily have to come down.
These are all the important ones I have taken notes. I guess is a useful and motivational quotes for all of you in the future in order to have a better life and enlightened business skill!
Hallo Everyone, today I'm going to share with you all about a free and open digital publication of high quality educational materials, organized as courses.
So what's all this about? Can you educate yourself for free? Taking any sort of courses in the university for free? You can find course materials and share your university courses? Yes, thats right!
This is the video i get from iTunes podcast. The source is from Chris Pirillo Show, my favourite geek in the community.
This is the website. OpenCourseWare is a free education for all of us.
About Studying in University and OpenCourseWare, Which better?
Studying college or University is quite costly just to get a certificate and a degree or even PhD. Is it worth to pay the cost to get that, even the bank don't need your certificate to give u a loan? In some other way, it is worth to get it as a backup. It is important to study hard and get a degree for most of the people, but for me it's not really that important.
So in this website, you can't get a degree certificate, but you can educate yourself for external knowledge. You can find many resource materials in the website and download it for free. I like this very much as I can learn before entering university and gain more knowledge!

I was excited to share with the community with this useful website, thanks for the tips from Chris Pirillo, do subscribe him in Youtube and join geeks! community. Good Night!
The man who is Muslim in our class, The man who is our Group leader, and the man who is very kind and generous, Johan Donough invited almost all of the SAM group to eat dinner at Damai point Upperstar. Thanks for the invitation Jo, yeah we all call him that.
Alright, the dinner was started at 7p.m. Jo invited part of the SAM group included me. So, its cool that night, we enjoy a lot with the foods which include my grilled chicken, four season pizza and many more seriously.
THESE ARE SOME OF THE PHOTO:
A group of crazy friends
This is the Johan
Why I wrote this into my journal?
- The first reason is, I guess it was a memorable day for SAM group to meetup together and have a dinner, chit chatting. Maybe this was the last time we enjoyed a lot in a group this year due to exam period. Damn, I seriously hate exam and studies something that doesn't works in my life. Miss those days hang around with SAM mates. Its just feel happy whenever thinking of those memorable day with classmates. SAM talent night show, we worked out together as a team to participate the show, we made a parody show, Love story by Taylor Swift. It was amazing night, we enjoyed our show although we din't get any awards.
- For the second reason is, Jason Low, our SAM clown was back from Melaka last few weeks. and he is going back this week, can't spend a lot of time with him, just yesterday night, but we enjoyed, very great night. We talked crap together, shared our life together, and he was as fun as last time too.
- The last reason is, hmm, enforce our relationship with each other? Yup I guess. Having dinner together will encourage use to communicate with each others. I love communication with people, no matter who is the people, I like to share my life with them and also listen to them. Sometimes talk crap, or rubbish, sometimes talk about current market, business talk, and future ambitions.
Thats all for my reason that i put down all the memories in my online journal. After the dinner, should be around 9p.m. We went to Metro pool to play, I played with Kim and Jane, beat up them. Nothing special after that, went home and online, then Sleep. Night for today, God Bless.
Exam is around the corner, 43 days left for preparation for S.a.m subjects which are ESL, Economics, Accounting studies, legal studies and I.T studies. The time is running out, and still don't have to mood to sacrifice all my personal time into studies ONLY. My life will be damn bored if every week, 7 days, 24 hours a day with a books. I usually do update my Facebook, twitter, geeks blog which I talk about geeks stuff and Google reader to read the latest news and information around the world. One of the interesting stuff that I read from Google reader yesterday, I found an article about leadership, and inside, he recommended a book. And I have learned some lessons from a book name The 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back.
Okay in this book, let me brief the 12 bad habits that the authors examine:
- "Never Feeling Good Enough." Don pressure yourself too much. Sometimes we should relax a bit and feel good. "You often think you're over your head."
- "Seeing the World in Black and White." For some people are too motivated towards success, achievement and power. Even they din't look for any conflict, they usually run into problems with people.
- "Doing Too Much, Pushing Too Hard." Sometimes i did push myself quite hard to achieve what I want to get, I thought it was good at first, but it actually joyless, pressure, unhappy, tired, and too obsessive. I think I should schedule my time and manage it wisely.
- "Avoiding Conflict at Any Cost." Okay, avoiding conflicts at anytime are bad. Sometimes I do suppress my feelings when I do not know how to solve the conflict. But only for sometimes, for some reasons. However, I usually will express my feelings and my thoughts in order to solve it. This works well. Don run away from any mistakes or conflicts, face it at any cost, it will make a differences.
- "Running Roughshod Over the Opposition." What is this sentence suppose to be meant? This means a person who is hyper active in doing anything without consideration and thinking. He is very aggressive and never learned how to move from resistances but over or through it.
- "Rebel Looking for a Cause." Everything happens for a reason. Every action has a reaction. And everything has a Cause! Honest to yourself, be calm and think for what reason that this would happens, this will change everything, and you deserves it. I would suggest everyone learned from mistakes and remember to admit what you have did thats wrong.
- "Always Swinging for the Fence." Do not over confident in small accomplishment. Yes, this is true, this is really a bad habit for me. When I achieved something that is my goal, I felt proud of it. And I lost my will and determination. This is bad, I will learn from my lesson and become the top of the top, and the best of the best in order to achieve my dreams.
- "When Fear Is in the Driver's Seat." Known as Pessimist worrier. Some people will have a negative values of life, they see everything with a negative outcomes. In my point of view, it is a fear, a fear of losing, a fear of anything bad happens. Fear is the most worst enemy ever in our own life. Everyone has fear, as for me , I do have many fears. I fear about losing anything value to me, fear of failing SAM course, and fear of losing money. It is very common. However, there is a quote from Prison Break season 1, by Michael Scofield , he said, Fear actually is just an air, or oxygen. When you face it, it will disappear. I like this quote, and from Robert Kiyosaki books, he said that we should face our fear, losing money is doesn't matter, at least we face it and take a baby step. So, I will face every fears that I got now, face it, and make a change for my life.
- "Emotionally Tone-deaf." "You have the inability to feel emotions or understand them in others. You're incapable of deceit and courageous - but also joyless and incapable of love."(
By: Jim Hasse)
- "When No Job Is Good Enough." Sometimes, people may think that they deserved a top career without putting any efforts or working way up to the top. For me, to become a leader, first, we need learn how to be a team members and work together as a team. To become a speaker, we need to learn how to listen and take notes of what the speaker talking about. Yes for my dream, actually is build a successful business. But without failures or challenges during my business building, I will not succeed my dream, I will start to learn how to work as an employee then build up my business.
- "Lacking a Sense of Boundaries."
- "Losing the Path." Sometimes, losing your sight or feel goalless with your life are very common. I lost my target, my determination towards my goal, I don't know what am I doing? Wasting my time. But after that, I'm awake, I can't stand of my life without goal. It is not meaningful for me, but not to push so hard too. I have a lot of things to do and to learn. Thats why I'm making a habit to read useful books, news and more information from the internet, learn life skill and also study hard for my exam == which i hate the most.
So, this book allowed someone to learned from the mistake or bad habits, rather than just read or know about good habits, we should know both so that we can really learned something and use it throughout our entire life.
So, Catherine was so excited about last Saturday talk because it was about money and future career. Okay, sounds cool right? Hmm, at first i was impressed because finally got chance to listen to money talk in bible perceptions.
Wookay, let's me brief about whats the talk about. Very disappointed for me, its worth to listen this speech, as the lady who give this speech talks about bible gospel, that is we cannot be too proud and think we are smart to do anything successfully without God's help. I think we should put faith on God, as I'm now trying my best to pray every night and morning. Wish I can be with God more often.
Whats she talked about that night?
1. Jobs, everyone need job to earn money to survive, or work for money whole life.
-- For me, job is important, but not to earn money, is to learn how money for people.
2. Doctors can earn a lot of money.
-- Yes this is true, but without hard work and financial intelligence, a lot of money may not solve the problems, it can also create problems. Eg. A doctor may spend all his money on cars, which is liabilities for me as I need to pay maintainance fee every month, but do not help me to generate more cashflow. House is not an asset for me, but rental houses are! But we do need to find a great real estate deal by a bit of hard work, such as doing calculation of the deal ( which i am doing a program about REAL ESTATE CALCULATION TOOLS for my I.T programming task.)
3. Save in the bank and earn interest.
-- Huh, no way for me. I do save, when? I save every month for Emergency fund, which is very important i guess. Saving in deposit is not an investing tactic for me, it is ridiculous stupid for me to save money that drop value every years, due to inflation. No way.
4. Work hard for money, and get out of DEBTS.
-- Is it debts are bad? every debts? nope, there are good debts and bad debts. Good debts can get you rich. The financial institution consider these three qualification, mostly:
- Does the property produce enough income to cover the expenses and mortgage?
- What is the condition of the property?
- What is the financial position of the borrower?
In real estate financing, the borrower (the investor), is number three on the priority list. In other words, a strong cash flowing property in good condition will almost always outweigh the poor credit (or no credit) of the borrower.
REMEMBER ONLY DO SOMETHING THAT YOU UNDERSTAND
however, don afraid of trying, learn from experiences or other people experience.
Make use of debts to get rich =)
Among all she taught us, I agree in two part, must be hardworking and discipline, and trust God. God really will help us, I love God, Just need to put some faith!=)
Aloha everyone, few days ago i went to a ship, which slogan is bringing knowledge, help and hope, that Doulos. I went there with my sweetheart fiona, and two of our friends. For some people who don't know about Doulos, the background of the ship and what did the ship do.
Okay, do u see the image above, yes it is the BIG SHIP, Doulos. "The MV Doulos is the world's oldest active ocean-faring passenger ship. She is now owned by the German charity Gute Bücher für Alle (English: Good Books for All), and is used as a floating bookshop. The ship has previously been known as the SS Medina, the SS Roma, and the MV Franca C." (Wikipedia). For me, Doulos is just a big ship sells alot of books, mostly are christian bible, story books, dictionary, and Kid's books. They do sell Cd and Vcd for christian. However, that was my first time went to this ship, its my first experience. For my first experience, when i been there, outside the ship, the ship are big and looks huge! That time i was thinking what stuff are going to be sold at the ship, nice books or anything that suit my interests, which is financing books, magazine, game and technology stuff.
So i was excited and walked into the ship with fiona =). A lot of people there! some wearing mask, some din't. Some reading books and some buying the famous ice-cream. The ice-cream is nice, but too bad i din't buy it.
Hmm, so whats inside? interesting? for me, i don't think it attracts me to stay more than i stay at popular. Sorry, but, for christian, it would be a perfect place. Okay, what books attracts me is, Leadership self enrichment books by John Maxwell.
After an hour of shopping and reading around the ship, we decided to go home! I bought a book, title is Better English, improve my English again, seriously my English is sucks, need a hard work on it in order to improve. I will share some of the books that i have read in here to give some summary about it, and lastly I wont give up on my English as well as continue sharing this blog.
O Hai everyone, this is not the first time i blog in my life, i blog about technology and geeky stuff before in my geeks! community created by a famous IT person! Chris Pirillo. I think almost all geeks know about him. What is meant by Geeks? Geeks for me mean people who like computer and technology stuff. Chris Pirillo is one of a Geeks, thats why he created a social networking for all the geeks to meet up and share about their life. I like Chris, he is an interesting person, which has a live stream at ustream, can google him if u wanna know more about him =) This is the link to geeks community - http://geeks.pirillo.com/ .
Okay, I , or samuel , or moo created this blog for experiencing how to write an extraordinary essay, or should i say to improve my poor english?.. Yeah, because my ESL for S.a.m course is just C , forecast, i will try my best to get at least a B. English is very important for communicate with each others . Everyone using english and learn english, i guess.
So, what is going to happen in my blog is, about my life experience, share with community! This blog is usually for my daily life, sadness and anything that interesting happened. Hmm, school life? i will share some of the good articles that i read, such as about self enrichment stuff and top news that happened around the world.
Wokay! i think i should stop right now, going to do some revision for my accounting. Feel free to add my geeks, facebook, flickr or even follow me in my twitter! And one more, comment and Rss me too! do appreciate! have a nice day!
