Rais the Twitter sensation #yorais

A few days ago our Information Minister touches on the subject of Social Media ie. Twitter and Facebook and advise the general public not to be too immersed into it as it is not part of our culture and guess what was the general reaction? Even fellow party members have sarcastic reactions to his view here and here. And unknowingly to him a simple statement makes him the biggest celebrity on twitter and perhaps this is the first time that a Malaysian subject trended on twitter and reaching to number three spot as you can see below:-


Here are some of the snippets I gather while searching for #yorais – (I must say for the first time tweets makes me literally ROFL and makes my tears spill out and my tummy cramped)

@taniasafuan: #yorais is so old, he EATS blackberries.

@vpyp: #yorais is so kuno he will print this thread out and read with his bifocal glasses yo!

@5xmom: Rais is so ancient, if you tell him his komputer got bugs, he sprays Ridsect

@simonseow: Rais is so ancient that he thinks @staronline is a new solar system #yorais

@altimet: He so ancient he think Tumblr is how his kids bring water to school. #yorais

If you are interesting you can head up here at the Twapper just in case twitter search no longer cache all those tweets.

MALAYSIA BOLEH!!!!! Keep it up

update:- According to Perpetual Tockism the viral started from @bongersz

Posterous and Terminaljunkie

For many months now I have been maintaining two blogs at Posterous and this one. While posterous is good for acting as a central dispatch where post that is written there usually by means of emails are automatically posted to various site like Flickr, Facebook and Twitter; over time I find it pointless of having two same blogs reflecting each other.

So starting today, I have deleted tonnes of entries here and maintain this site solely as a journal of my thoughts and rants. And posterous blog will be solely a photoblog mainly showcasing my photos especially iphone photography. If you happen to get 404 from external links, that means the entry has been deleted and most likely you will be able to find it here.

Is Facebook getting too Paranoid?

Dear facebook,

Are you getting too paranoid? I appreciate your seriousness on getting the worms and the phishing attack recently but your system should be able to determine what is a bot and what is a human.

I was having a conversation with my friend last night and we were discussing on photography, so I started to send him links of my flickr pages over the conversation and next thing I know pop out a message warning me of spamming him and threaten that my account will be disable (See below image)

So I visited your FAQ page and did exactly as recommended by changing my password, logout and login back again. As I continue on my chat with him, every line I type, I am warned again by that message. What is going on facebook? Are you overly paranoid?

Btw, I’m a human not a bot

Rumors of Rick Astley, True or just rumors

My friends has been buzzing me saying Rick is dead and it was over the radio, so I said to myself not another twitter rumors flying around. First it was Harrison Ford, then came Britney Spears and now Rick Astley?

So I went to google news to confirm the source and I saw a link at the local newspaper picking it up. And funnily they reported it that he is dead but ended up deleting the page. Can’t believe a major newspaper could report such a thing without checking the source first. Never believe what you read until you confirm it with at least few major sources.

Rick Astley #1


Rick Astley #2

And when you are in the link, the page has been taken out. Thanks to Google cache to catch the blunder

QOTD: Jeff Bezos

I thought of starting to blog about some quotes that I find meaningful starting by what Jeff Bezos, Founder of Amazon.com said recently:-

Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible about tactics – From Tips on Innovation & Entrepreneurship From Jeff Bezos

I find this quote very meaningful in all aspects of life. We do need to focus on the target we want to achieve but never go head on in one direction achieving it. Sometime we will hit into obstacle, and we need to change our tactics to achieve it. Above all we need to be patient. I remember my grandpa used to say to me never be like a fly who is trying to get out of a window but keep hitting the glass. You should fly around it, to find a way out.
