Malaysian Twitter Users put Rais Yatim on Trending topics #yorais

“Malaysians, especially Muslims, must avoid being totally immersed in the internet culture, especially Facebook and Twitter, said Information Communication and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim.

He added that facilities like internet could not be accepted wholly because it was a form of business introduced by the West and “Malaysians were just users.”

Yes, all this coming from the Info Comm minister of Malaysia in a local newspaper The Star. Read the full article here.

As can be expected, the Msian Twitter-ers are not happy and came up with a hashtag #yorais that talks about how old, ancient and backward thinking he is.

And the best part, it made it in the current top trending topics in Twitter. Here’s a screenshot for proof. LOL! Malaysia & Twitter boleh?

Some sample #yorais tweets :

• #yorais is so ancient, when asked about ‘good ol’ days’, he replies, “BC or AD?”.
• Rais is so ancient that the word “past”,”history” and “sejarah” hasn’t existed. #yorais
• #yorais Rais is so ancient, he anyams his own clothes
• first rice plant after him. #yorais
• In the afterlife, you’ll identify Rais right away. He’s so old, he has no navel. #yorais
• Rais is so ancient he once asked Socrates, “Kenapa you ni suka tanya banyak soalan?” #yorais

Trying out Google Sketchup

I saw Azmanishak’s post about ‘Buat Perabut Rumah‘ using Google Sketchup and thought I’d give it a try. Its been a while since I used any 3d software. Last being 3D Studio Max back in college.

So I downloaded Google SketchUp 7 (its FREE!) and watched some training vids before starting. Basically, it has functions such as extrude (pull out, pull in), move, rotate, scale and resize.

So after playing with it and getting use to it for about an hr, i came up with this rough 3d image of my room. Its incomplete. So far i just finished the bed, table, documents cabinet and the curtains.

This is how my actual room looks like. Sorry about the mess. Hehe! Also instead of the laundry basket under the table, i have a file cabinet.

What do you think? Getting there ey? :P

My broken poken :(

This is my Martian Poken. Read what is a poken HERE.

I had some problems with my poken lately, after i dropped it. To be specific, I’ve only tried poken-ing with my fren (tekong to be exact). And after pokening, i get a red glow. pressing it a few times caused it to blink red and yellow. A few weeks later I tried pokening with that friend of mine again but it still glowed red. And also his contact didnt appear when i plug in the poken to my computer and login to my account. But it did get detected on when i plug it into my USB.

After some emails back and forth and trying a few things : (1) removing the battery and putting it back (2) pokening with someone else , they said they can refund my poken for free. All I have to do is to mail the poken hand to Switzerland, and I get to choose new designs for the head. Woo!

Now, lets just see how much it’ll cost to post it from Malaysia to Switzerland

WHAT IS A POKEN?
A poken is a small gadget for your keychain that allows you to share all of your social networking information with other people just by touching your Poken to theirs. Think of it as an electronic business card that stores your Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn profiles. Your new friends and business contacts will then be able to access your personal networking sites simply by clicking on your business card.
