The Health Conspiracy: Why it matters to you?
Everyday, there are a million things that could kill you. Some immediate, others terminal. However, usually the sensationalized are the ones you worry about, and not knowing much about it, you resort to the “experts” (doctors) or marketing (MLM based health products) as an attempt to prevent dying a horrible death.
(Note: I have nothing against doctors but i believe that most of them...

Thankfulness, lest we forget
Lessons learned from watching A.J. Jacobs’ year of living biblically.
1) Just Do It
He said that when he pretended to be a better person, he eventually became a bit of a better person. Its insightful to know that if you just try doing it, it’ll rub off on you and you’ll even change the way you are in the process
2) Always be thankful
Most probably taken from Philippians...

Review : Digi Customer Service
The Problem:
I used my phone to use Digi’s 3G Broadband for 3 days to test their RM5/day unlimited promo based on some adverts i saw on the road. Alas it seems it was for PREPAID customers only so I was rewarded with a huge fat bill. So I ranted about it on my blog
The Verdict:
For 3 days worth of internet access (1st,2nd & 12th Feb) I am now paying RM200 after the discount given by...

How Digi burned a hole in my pocket
I got cheated burned recently by my favorite yellow man telco, Digi. Seeing a slew of advertising on the road about Digi’s RM5/day 3g plan, I decided to test it out for a few days to gauge the speed and coverage. I was absolutely delighted to find out that there’s no sign up process, its totally automatic. Boy, I was in for a shocker when my bill read RM543.40 for GPRS usage. Sure,...

Compounding the small
During idearum, the minimalistic ninja shared about simplicity and one of the methods of achieving it is breaking the goal into bite-sized chunks. I could never fully grasp such a concept because it contradicts my personality. This is how i described myself in Ravejoint’s about page.
Takes “look before you leap” to a whole new level. Obsessed with finding the optimal solution...

How much will you pay? →
Great insights on the core metrics of business. Creating a business where your customers want your products so badly they are willing to pay premium for it is the way to go.

Eureka Moment
Eureka , a word you heard of but have no personal significance. Its meant to exclaim a moment of enlightening and self discovery. I had my moment recently while playing badminton (badly) for more than a year and suddenly was able to guess the direction of the shuttle right before it was hit. Such a basic yet significant ability did not come naturally and no one could really “teach”...

The Passion Virus
The thought of clocking 10,000 hours to master something has always been my greatest deterrent in learning something new. Imagining a kung fu master living a life of solitude to attain the highest level of mastery makes you evaluate if its worth the effort. Whether its picking up guitar or learning a new language, it sounds impossible to maintain the discipline required to last several years of...

Screenwriting 101
Have you ever watched a movie and said “This sucks, the script is horrible, the story is weak and the sequence of the movie is all over the place. The director should be fired”? Most of the blame should fall on the screenwriter, the person who wrote the screenplay which determines the flow of the movie or the producer that approved it. (unless of course its the director that goes...

Movie Making 101
Movies and TV Series have become such a big part of our lives that its hard to imagine life without them. Its a natural part of us to listen to stories, be inspired and see life in another perspective. This has been done since the beginning of time before the invention of the TV through legends, books or your grandpa’s bedtime stories.
Many believe that filmmaking requires a multi-million...
