Hi there…hope you enjoy read what I’ve reviewed on komenebook.com – especially in “Review Produk Digital”. Some disadvantages are, most on my reviews based on Malay ebooks. Therefore, those visitors who are not familiar with Malay languages, you ought to understand my lovely language – “Bahasa Melayu” very well. Actually, Malay language is easy to learn and very simple to speak rather than other languages!

Currently I’m still trying for digging, buying and reading sort of Malaysian ebooks. I hope, one day (perhaps next 2009), I’m able to review more on English ebooks and express some comments on there.

One of my friends asked me, how I’ve reviewed sort of that ebooks. Frankly speaking, I’m really never ever attend any training course for reviewing ebooks. I’ve just read and read, again and again and try to think the pros and cons. Fortunately, I’ve some experience in doing some academic research, I’ve used what I’m learned in research process – so this experience really helps me a lot.

For this post, I like to highlight some critical issues in blogging. If you are really newbie in so called “bloggersphere”, one main dilemma is how to start or to post an article – the really article that other user (known as other blogger) may intent to read. This post is dedicated as continuous on my last post. Click here if you like to know my opinion.

Generally, a main point in blogging is you need an idea…it’s sound simple. But my friends, I mean, how do you convert an idea through your post to become a brilliant idea? This is very difficult process actually. (If someone says that it’s simple, better you leave him or her blog’s smartly, rather than you wasting your time!)

Some of experts said that, start your post with writing any topics that you’ve familiar with. For example, if you like football, start with your favorite clubs. If you have some experienced in selling products, start to share, promote via some links (and generate residual income)…or share some stories based on your experiences. All of these approaches are really 100% true, without any objection.

Problems still happen – how to switch your common idea to become a valuable idea? Doing research and experiments? Reading more and more ebooks? Brainstorming? Joint venture? Duplicate and Rebranding? In fact, all these successfully methods now are used by most triumphant internet marketer.

If you read some motivation books, some of them said, we need to use our brain capacity and creativity, think smartly (till crazy…hehehe), and dare to fail and Walla!!!…you’ll get what are you really want (like products, wealth, glamorous etc). Some arguments states that, “is this true for reality?” Aaaarrrghh….my point is, are you really agree with them?

End of part two: Better pen off here 

This is a special issue before i tend to publish a continuous review of google adsense which narrated by Munawar (Jana-Wang-Adsense 2.0). And this post is written in “english broken” version. Sorry ya!

Actually, i’m seriously shocked with the new price. Increased in 78 cents per litter is too high, you know! This increased price is totally missed-out with my prediction.

Am I Crazy? Yeah!!! Really hurt my feelings. Memang Parah wo! I’m totally unhappy yippa with that annoucements.

I can not imagine how orang kampung like me, my friend and others will survive with this crazy price. We as a rakyat comes from various categories. Faqir, miskin, moderate and rich (but not richer than them who yang gaji ribuan sebulan yang dapat claim macam-macam!).

I’m not really specialized in politics , (i’m not interested politics) but please consider and understand this problems which I’ve cited:

1) Rakyat tak terbeban kerana subsidi telah dipulangkan dalam bentuk wang pos RM 150 setahun bagi motor di bawah 250 cc dan Rm 625 setahun bagi kereta di bawah 2.0 cc. (Ingat yg boleh dapat hanya semasa renew toadtax kalo dah renew tahun ni kena la tunggu sampai tahun depan)

komen:

Ok mari kita buat kiraan skit berapa sebenarnya subsidi yang dipulangkan

i) Motor bawah 250cc:

Subsidi setahun : RM 150

Subsidi sebulan : RM 150/12= RM 12.5 sebulan

Harga Petrol skrg: RM 2.70 per litter

1 tank penuh petrol (EX5 class) lebih kurang bersamaan 4 liter, dan boleh digunakan untuk pergi kerja lebih kurang untuk 3 hari (jarak rumah ke tempat kerja lebih kurang 20km-saya)

Jumlah wang yang digunakan untuk bayar petrol untuk pergi kerja selepas harga petrol naik (andaikan 20 hari bekerja):

= RM 2.7*4 liter*20 hari / 3 hari

= RM 72 sebulan tolak RM 12.5 (subsidi)

= RM 59.50

Jumlah wang yang digunakan untuk bayar petrol untuk pergi kerja sebelum harga petrol naik (andaikan 20 hari bekerja):

= RM 1.92*4 liter*20 hari / 3 hari

= RM 51.20

Kenaikan yang ditanggung sebulan = RM 59.50 – RM 51.20 = RM 8.30 sebulan @ 16% sebulan

ii) Kereta di bawah 2.0 cc

Subsidi setahun : RM 625

Subsidi sebulan : RM 625/12= RM 52.08 sebulan

Harga Petrol skrg: RM 2.70 per litter

1 tank penuh petrol (Kancil 660cc) lebih kurang bersamaan 30 liter, dan boleh digunakan untuk pergi kerja lebih kurang untuk 5 hari (jarak rumah ke tempat kerja lebih kurang 15km-saya)

Jumlah wang yang digunakan untuk bayar petrol untuk pergi kerja selepas harga petrol naik (andaikan 20 hari bekerja):

= RM 2.7*30 liter*20 hari / 5 hari

= RM 324 sebulan tolak RM 52.08 (subsidi)

= RM 271.92

Jumlah wang yang digunakan untuk bayar petrol untuk pergi kerja sebelum harga petrol naik (andaikan 20 hari bekerja):

= RM 1.92*30 liter*20 hari / 5 hari

= RM 178.32

Kenaikan yang ditanggung sebulan = RM 271.92 – RM 230.4 = RM 41.52 sebulan @ 18% sebulan.

Pengiraan di atas hanya mengandaikan penggunaan petrol bulanan untuk pergi dan balik kerja sahaja.

Tetapi harus diingat semakin banyak kita gunakan petrol maka makin banyak lagilah jumlah kenaikkan yang akan kita rasai

[ for furher reading please click this link entitled Kenaikan harga minyak-Respon Menteri KDNHEP ]

These sentences above only a representatives from one in a million peoples in Malaysia. Those who work with small salary totally suffer this. Anyway, can we imagine, what happen for our students those who everyday goes to school, IPTA or IPTS? . Who will pay for their duit minyak? Government or parents?

“Ala…mereka kan sume ada loan, PTPTN, Biasiswa..pandai2 la mereka hidup!”

The true fact is, are the loan / scholarship that they earned enough for this current situation? Just want to eat nasi kosong and roti aje ker?

Some of us suggest take an action of what old folks says “kita kena ambil langkah berjimat-cermat. antaranya seperti..bla..bla..bla..blah..blah..blah!”.hhhhmmmmmmmmm….

My argument is, are we facing the same economics-lifestyle problems? are we earn same wages/salary for every months? (Bolehke kita ajar orang yang berpendapatan purata sekitar RM400 -  RM600 sebulan dengan tanggungan anak 5-6 orang, cara mereka nak survive?..Ape..ingat harga barang lain gerenti tak naik ke?)

And, this is some sort of respondents says when i’ve asked their opinion regarding to government announcement yesterday:

• “nak buat macam mane, harga minyak dunia naik, kena naik jugakla”
• “lepas ni petronas tentu kuar berite, untung bersih berbilion-bilion lagi”
• “kompem pasni harga barang naik..aci kerat jari ah!”
• “lepas ni, kuar ah dalam berita, harga minyak di malaysia lebih rendah dari asean lain. Muge Taileng (Thailand) dengan singapore tu negara pengeluar minyak…”
• “bagus, saya “sokong” dengan kenaikan minyak. saya “sokong” dengan kerajaan sekarang”
• terime je la setakat ade…

oopps..if you read another blogs / websites (those yang lebih more on pembangkang, you may read some of “gaya bahasa” yang lebih hot and spicy).

So, what’s your opinion now? are you really ready to face this current crisis now?

???

• Some people that say blog is fun;
• some people that say blog is an effective tool to blow out your ideas;
• some people say that blog make you rich!
• And some people say blog is useless too!!!

It doesn’t matter on what people says. For the first time ever I use Blogspot.com as a platform for blog. My friend advices me to use  blogspot.com because it is really easy to use and customize, on the same time may generate your additional income by adsense blah blah blah….

So, since I’ve learned some basic html code, I try for blog, entitled “Income a.k.a Pendapatan Hebat” and joined some affiliate partners.

Income a.k.a Pendapatan Hebat is my first experimental blog (thanks  Google) and untill now, this blog is still there, without any updates, same as first time I designed it. You may see this blog by clicking here. I am intend not to change anything because it has a lot of memories in my mind.

The process to paste some code are quite easy…but to write some good essays (or so called post) is quite crazy. I’ve really stucked and don’t know how to write a good post, which may audience really to read and understand. My brain really really blocked!!! Arrgh…

What I’ve Learned From Blog???

The main critical dilemma in blogging is how to set-up your brilliant (or crazy ideas!) to be expressed in blog. Some people ignore a basic art in blog.

Until now, not many of us realize this basic skill, me too! You may check my stupid dum-dum writing skills when you see my first blog (shame..shame..shame)

So, How to Solve This Dilemma???

There are many various solutions (methods/ways/techniques) to overcome  this dilemma. Frankly speaking, the best way to solve this problem is by using  your own experience and write it in your style. Peoples (or surfers) loves to share and hear your personal experience. I love to listen and sharing too!  The true fact that, personal experience comes from your truly heart. (Except if you cheat, lying or bluffing to increase your popularity! So shame what!)

• Don’t forget to use your 100% passionate feelings in writing.
• Try to be cool, feel free and relax.
• Clear out your mind from any problemmos. Too many problems may affect and reduce your quality in expressing your ideas.
• Ignore some grammatical error (you may correct it later la brader!)
• Try to write as simple as you can. Some buzz gurus or otai said, “Keep It Stupid Simple” or “Keep It Simple”
• Personal experience no need to think too long. It always be remembered and refreshing in your mind, isn’t it?

I believe those who read this post may agree or disagree. Believe me, I’m always implementing this techniques to enhance my writing skills. (currently my blog entitled “komenebook.com”). Try it, just do it…don’t let blogging dilemma haunting you more.

End of Part 1…

(This article is actually ignored some of grammatical rules. Sorry for the inconvenience)

For those who have computers, owners of cyber cafes, organizations or any industries, one biggest challange is how to PROTECT YOUR COMPUTER FROM VIRUS. Recently, not only virus, also buzz word – malware, spyware, wormies, phising…

Suit with latest technologies and gadgets, these “bad-ware” viruses may harm your computer within less than a second!!! The prehistoric virus may spread through a floppy disk, but now it may attack via usb gadgets like thumbdrive (or pendrive), networks, emails and mobiles too.

These viruses may spread just a single one-click button, may duplicate and more dangerously may harm your personal data! Have you remember a virus called Chernobyl??? Frankly said, due to Chernobyl, i’ve lost more than a quarter of my important data at office…sound scary huh!

How to Prevent???

The best way is not use computer, hahahahaha..just kidding!!!

follow this common rule. If you have some internet connection, the first step is get the best antivirus to prevent this. Its compulsory.Those who don’t have an internet, don’t worry. You must have a thumb-drive and update it. Please ensure your thumbdrive is free-virus-risk too!

The problem is, we do not know which companies provides the best solution to cure our computers. So, in my experience, I love to use Bitdefender Online Scanner. It is really works and eliminate virus”WARE”. In addition, to run this online scanner, it requires only at least Microsoft Internet Explorer 4+. (Sorry for firefox fans, you need to run via Internet Explorer too!!!)

Just want to share, I use Bitdefender together Avira Antivir Personal Edition Classic (it’s free maa!). Bitdefender detect and destroy, plus Avira helps to shoot…Kabooom!!!

Just follow the instruction “Scan Now” and select which multiple drives (or files) that you want, and Bitdefender helps to eliminate all unnecessary bad imigrant so called “virusWARE” even it hidden in your usb thumbdrive.

Or you may try these two good online scanner…For sure, it’s ABSOLUTELY F.R.E.E!!!

That are TrendMicro:Housecall and Kasperky Online Scanner. But there some disadvantages. You need some latest browser engine like Internet Explorer 6+ or Mozilla Firefox 1.0.5 and higher to run!

Additional Tips

Here some extra tips which i found from Jan Michaels. (this article is lisenced under Reprinted Article)

• Always make backups of important information and store in a safe place separate from your computer. Don’ t save important information in any email account. Print it out and delete the original email, making sure the original email doesn’t sit in the trash bin either.

• Update and patch your operating system, web browser and software frequently. If you have a Windows operating system, set your update options to automatic. This program will help you to find the latest patches for your Windows computer.

• Install a firewall. Without a good firewall, viruses, worms,Trojans, malware and adware can all easily access your computer from the internet. Consideration should be given to the benefits and differences between hardware and software based firewall programs. Still redundancy is a good thing, so try use a router with a built-in firewall along with your PCs firewall and antivirus software.

• Review your browser and email settings for optimum security. Why should you do this? Active-X and Java Script are often use by hackers to plant malicious programs into your computers. While cookies are relatively harmless in terms of security concerns, they do still track your movements on the internet to built a profile of you. At a minimum set your security setting for the “internet zone” to High, and your “trusted sites zone” to Medium Low.

• Install anti-virus software and set for automatic updates so that you receive the most current versions.

• Do not open unknown emails attachments. It is simple not enough that so you may recognize the address from which it originates because many viruses can spread from a familiar address, and anyone can pretend to be someone you trust.

• Do not run programs from unknown origins. Also, do not send these types of programs to friend and coworkers because they contain funny or amusing stories or jokes. They may contain a Trojans horse waiting to infect a computer.

• Disable hidden file name extensions. By default, the Windows operating system is set to “hide file extensions for known files types”. Disable this option so that file extensions display in Windows. Some file extensions will, by default, continue to remain hidden, but you are more likely to see unusual file extensions that do not belong.

• Turn off your computer and disconnect from the network when not using the computer. A hacker can not attack your computer when you are disconnected from the network or the computer is off.

• Consider making a boot disk on a floppy disk in case your computer is damaged or compromised by a malicious program. Obviously, you need to take this step before you experience a hostile breach of your system.

• Finally, if you are using a wireless network, secure it by using strong encryption! If you incorporate these steps, you will ensure a safer, and more enjoyable on-line experience.

So, we end here…don’t let viruses harm your valuable data again!
