Are you there?

When I'm dreaming
And I find myself awake without a warning
Then I rub my eyes and fantasize
And all at once I realise

It's morning
And my fantasy is fading like a distant star at dawn
My dearest dream is gone
I often think there's just one thing to do
Pretend that dream is true
And tell myself that you are there

Why so many job site in Malaysia?

Months ago someone approached me and ask me to code a "jobstreet-like" system for him. After analyzed all his features and request, I charged him 5k. I thought this is a reasonable price. Weeks later, he come back to me and tell me he is no longer interested. He already found 1 freelancer that do it cheaper. I ask him the price and he said: RM500!

This is fucking stupid. First, doing a job listing site is already stupid. Second, using a RM500 system is a bad decision. I don't mean 5k is better. Either one will never be a 2nd job street. (How u wanto compete with a well established company that hired teams of ppls and constantly improve over the system?)

Malaysia is a fucking funny country. When someone succeed in something, everyone started to follow. Look at how many job Listing site out there now?!

Just to name a few:

http://my.jobstreet.com
http://www.joblinkasia.com
http://www.jobsdb.com
http://my.tiptopjob.com
http://my.jobisland.com
http://www.bestjobs.com.my
http://www.surfdreamjob.com

p/s: If you are not in the list, please email me and i will add yours in.

Some of them try to be simpler (Google idea?), some try to be everything... some try to place ads all around..... none of them are jobstreet.

Come on, what's so cool about building a 2nd jobstreet? Why spending money advertise at the back of taxi again?

To solve the problem and fulfill the needs, I going to start one open source project that mimic all functions of jobstreet and put it out there for FREE. Let's see who can be the jobstreet 2.0.

Waiting required more than just patient

It's pretty much like fishing, but it definitely require more than just patient.

If you are fishing in a pond that definitely have no fish in it, then there's no point to talk about patient.

Normally we wait because we don't have control over something. We wait for the share market price to up because we cant control it. We wait for the last day in the office because we cant just quit immediately after resign.

Sometime we wait but we have control. For example, we wait for the share market price to drop to go in so that we can get more quantity. We can do it now but we don't because we wanted more.

When we waiting for something that have uncertain outcome, it required some luck. Good example is like waiting for the announcement of lottery result.

When we waiting for something that's certain, it required patient.

After all, I think waiting is good; It's like taking a rest.

When you are in a long journey, why not slow down yourself, or even stop awhile at the roadside. Then you can take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery around you and who knows you might discover something special.

I have already choose my path years ago. I dunno how will it lead me to my destiny, I have little control over it, everything in future is dynamic and uncertain for me. However, walking this path have makes me stronger after each obstacle that I go through.

When think back, why I choose the path while others don't? I believe it's the stability that they can't afford to loose. For a person like me where I have nothing more to loose; then there's isn't anything that can stop me.

Press On

Press on.
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
