Heroes: Save the Cheerleader, Save the World

Tuesday, March 27, 2007 by Mr.J

heroes tv show The new tv series "Heroes" is just awesome. I was in India when it stated showing in Malaysia. However I did not miss anything because India is 1 episode faster then Malaysia.
The initial slogan was "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World", The slogan is catchy and honestly irritating at times.
The thing that makes Heroes so interesting to watch, is the fact that the characters are so likeable and that each one is so unique.

This show is about a few people around the world who realize that they have some supernatural powers. Some of them have been living with their powers for awhile, and choose to hide them, and some of them are just realizing it for the first time.

In each episode they get closer together, finding each other and realizing that there is a bigger force that is pulling them together. At first to "Save the Cheerleader" and now to "Save the World".
Heroes brings together both the qualities of childhood fantasies.
Who hasn't ever thought about flying?
Who hasn't wished they could be invisible?
Who hasn't pictured them a Hero, wanting to save the world?

I think that Heroes will continue to do well and will soar in ratings. Wednesday have become my "Heroes Night" and I hope your too.

Digital Camera - Canon EOS400D/ EOS Rebel Xti Review

by Mr.J

digital photography canon eos

This is a best digital camera for a newbie photography hobbyist like me. The design of this digital camera is compact and not so bulky like the other more professional canon eos series. Its much lighter, however comes with a small grip.


Here are some of the features of this digital camera;



  • 10.1 megapixel CMOS sensor with improved microlens array, fill factor and lower noise
    EOS Integrated Cleaning System

  • Nine point Auto Focus sensor (same as EOS 30D) with F2.8 support

  • Continuous shooting burst up to 27 JPEG and 10 RAW images

  • Single large, bright, 2.5" LCD monitor with 160° viewing angles (horizontal and vertical)

  • Camera settings and adjustment on LCD monitor

  • Proximity sensor below viewfinder eyepiece to disable the LCD during composition

  • New viewfinder view includes 9 AF points as well as EOS 30D style status bar

  • Picture Styles, larger range of image parameter adjustment (same as EOS 30D)

  • Improved user interface

  • Image magnification available in record review

  • Histogram available as brightness (Luminance) or RGB (Red, Green, Blue)

  • Three settings for long exposure noise reduction (adds Auto option)

  • Auto rotation with three options (not recorded, record don't rotate, record and rotate)

  • Additional custom functions (magnified view in record review, LCD display at power on)

  • Up to 9999 images per folder on storage card

  • Automatic storage of setting adjustments (no longer requires a press of the SET button)

  • Improved print / share / direct print features

  • And its cheap.

I know some of the stuff in the feature list you have never heard before but trust me when I say this is one cool digital camera. I am making plans to get it however going through the process of decided the glasses (lenses), extra batteries, and all the other stuff is irritating. Its going to cost me around RM8,000 - RM10,000 to get the complete set.


I wonder why I need to spend that much on a camera. On the other hand I think its time for me to take this photography stuff more seriously. I am waiting because I am hoping for the prices to come down a little.

How To Find Idiots

by Mr.J

I was doing some research on a white paper I am writing. So one of the keyword I was searching for was "united states idiots" and to my suprise the first result in google for that keyword is President of the United States - George W. Bush.

Try it out for yourself. Go to google and type "united states idiots" and see what the results you get. I even tried "united states idiot" and got the George W.Bush on the 3rd listing.

I have nothing against the United State of America but I found this really funny, an American site like Google will rank their President No1 for "United States idiots".

What The Movie 300 Can Teach You About Business Management

Monday, March 26, 2007 by Mr.J


This is a reprint...


When the movie 300 recently debuted, making more than $70 million during its opening weekend despite having no big-name actors, Hollywood was stunned. Many people have speculated that what attracted the audience was the over-the-top violence, the naked women and the special effects.

Maybe that helped--a little. But director Zack Snyder's film about Spartans bludgeoning Persian soldiers in a fight to the finish is also a business parable.

No, seriously. If you squint a little--and you probably will during some of the beheading scenes--the story resembles what an entrepreneur often faces when competing against a big corporation. It also offers some insight into what it takes to be an effective leader, inspire employees and create a recognizable brand. And, yes, this film can be ugly, but that's sometimes the nature of the business world.






Business Lesson No. 1: Your CEO needs to be a strong leader.


King Leonidas is as resilient as they come, in both the film and the actual historical battle that took place in 480 B.C. between 300 soldiers of Sparta, Greece and the Persian army. Although Leonidas is a warrior, he treats his family and friends as equals. His wife, the queen, is a partner, and he's smart enough to solicit her advice when it comes to business matters. He also spends quality time with his six-year-old son, teaching him the business (i.e., showing the little bugger how to fight).


But when Leonidas suits up and goes to his day job--vanquishing bloodthirsty enemies with his spear and shield--he's focused on what's best for the business and his employees; in this case, the kingdom and his soldiers


Sure, his competitor, King Xerxes, through messengers he sends to Sparta, makes some powerful arguments for combining the smaller organization with the larger corporation known as Persia. For instance, if the merger goes through, Leonidas would be allowed to live, and his employees wouldn't have to see their families enslaved or worry about getting their limbs hacked off. But while Leonidas appears to mull the offer over, he's concerned that his people's way of life (think office culture) and his freedom to make independent decisions won't be allowed to thrive.

He firmly declines the deal by spearing and then throwing a bunch of Persian yes-men into what appears to be a bottomless pit.

Leonidas next prepares to stop the growing threat of a hostile takeover. He seeks approval from some grotesque oracles (his board of directors) to take 10,000 Spartan soldiers to fight off the Persian army, but he is rebuffed. And so, like all good entrepreneurs, Leonidas finds a loophole. He informs fellow Spartan colleagues that he's taking a walk, bringing 300 of his top-flight employees as body guards, and goes off to complete his business plan--to fight the Persians at the narrow cliffs of Thermopylae and frighten the immense army into fleeing.




Business Lesson No. 2: Train your employees and foster a culture that promotes loyalty.


The Spartans had a grim but effective process for making sure their society only contained healthy children. (If you don't already know what that process was, you probably don't want to). To put it mildly, their organization only accepted the best and brightest employees, who were trained and molded into effective killing machines. It sounds gruesome, but it's handy when your business involves protecting your community from a foe that aims to crush you.

Arguably, loyalty may be the most important aspect of a successful team. At one point in the battle, Leonidas and Xerxes meet up. The Persian ruler tries to reason with his foe, asking how Leonidas can possibly defeat him when "I would kill any of my men for victory."

"I would die for any of mine," replies Leonidas, suggesting that an employee who knows he's valued is going to fight harder for the company's survival than a miserable grunt in the firm. The king has a point. His 300 men are effective at killing what must be thousands of soldiers in the first few hours of the battle. And it's not that surprising. Xerxes literally walks all over his employees; but in Leonidas' enterprise, his staff takes ownership and pride in the company and has a stake in the firm.




Business Lesson No. 3:You need to have a strong brand.

Leonidas is no fool. He knows that his 300 men and several hundred more Athenian soldiers who tag along can't completely destroy the Persian army, which outnumbers the Spartan force at least 1,000 to one. But he figures that if the Spartans live up to their reputation by ruthlessly and efficiently killing the Persians, the enemy might flee. In other words, Leonidas saw the Spartans as a brand.

Leonidas is an early marketer, fully understanding the power of words and images. When Leonidas and his men literally build a wall of corpses they know their enemy will see, it's an advertising message to the rest of the Persian soldiers that come their way: The Spartans are a company of men you don't want to encounter. They clearly hope the message will spread by word of mouth.

Later, the Spartan CEO tells his competitor, Xerxes, "The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, that even a god-king can bleed." And because Leonidas recognizes how important it is for the general public to understand the Spartans' unique brand of power and will, he sends a messenger back to Sparta to tell the tale of their fight. Leonidas appreciates that even if he and his 300 men don't win this particular battle, educating the public about the company will help the Spartan brand endure long after he is gone.

The brand, in fact, has endured so well that almost 2,500 years later Hollywood made a movie about this battle. If you haven't seen 300 yet, be sure to study these lessons and then go see them put to use in the movie. Do that and you may suck all the joy out of watching a blockbuster action movie--but you'll wind up with one heck of a business.

A Helping Hand or Not?

Sunday, March 25, 2007 by Mr.J

For many of us, life seems full of problems. Sometimes, we may think that we are the only one to have this problem. At other times, we know that many feel the same.

Yet we may not know how to get help. We may find it difficult to talk to others about our problems. In some cultures(I mean most Malaysian), it is very difficult to admit our problems to other people!

You can tell if a friend is going through a tough time if he or she
• Avoids friends and activities.
• Talks about wanting to die.
• Can’t sleep.
• Is moody, teary or quiet.
• Starts neglecting his or her appearance.
• Appears to have no energy or no appetite.
• Expresses feelings of despair, hopelessness and helplessness.
• Tries to cut or hurt himself/ herself.
• Starts giving away personal possessions.
• Makes statements like ‘It’s my fault’ or ‘I won’t be around to face…’

What can you do to help
You can do a surprising amount with very little effort. Listening saves lives. Be there with them and be prepared to listen.
• Approach your friend and let him/ her know you have noticed.
• Ask about his/ her well-being.
• Listen to his/ her problems and feelings.
• Be accepting, do not judge.
• Be patient and gentle.• Show that you care.
• Ask openly and directly if he/ she is thinking of harming himself/ herself.
• Take threats seriously.
• Get help.
• Call BEFRIENDERS.

What you should not do
• Don’t offer empty words or reassurance.
• Don’t give up on your friends – maintain contact with the person at risk.
• Never assume that talk of suicide is simply a manipulation for attention.
• Don’t think that having previously failed an attempted suicide will prevent someone from another attempt.
• Don’t minimize your friend’s pain.

Being close to someone who is in distress can be very hard. We are also here to support you and listen to your concerns and fears.

Never give advice to someone if you are not ready to do so. It took me 11/2 years of learning to become a Life Coach and in that process I have become more uncomfortable to give out advice then I used too. I know realize that giving advice when a person is having real problems can be really life changing for that person. You either make his problems better or make it even worst. And most likely or not you will make it worst.

Here is a simple step to see if you are ready to give advices.
• Lisa is 14 and pregnant. Should she agree to have an abortion?
• Eric is 26 and HIV-positive. Should he tell his family?
• Lily is 43. Her husband has a girl friend in China. Should she leave him?
• Albert is 68, and in constant pain from cancer.
Would it be right for him to take an overdose?If you answered ‘YES’ to these questions, then never give any advice to anyone you probably do more harm then good. If you answered ‘NO’…. then you are still better off not giving advice to anyone.

But if you weren't sure, if you can listen to people tell their stories without making judgments then most likely can give out advices but be careful. We don’t want to do harm to anyone.

I would like to introduce you to Blog-4-Help. Where if one has real problems and need personal help, they can email her for more advice. At this site (Not run by me) All email sent to this site is confidential and the person running this site will do the best she can to answer your questions objectively.

Confidentiality

The Blog-4-Help offer absolute confidentiality.Nothing ever goes beyond the Blog-4-help, whatever the circumstance. There are no exceptions to this rule. Thier policy of absolute confidentiality also means that if asked, they will neither confirm nor deny whether someone is in contact with us. This confidentiality is absolute

Blowing ones own Trumpet!

Friday, March 23, 2007 by Mr.J

This post is a response or rather a reaction towards this person who attack Jagjit on his blog. This is my HATE BLOG POST of the month. You can view the whole conversation here.
There is this guys/gal who is not brave enough to reveal his true identity but have the balls to attack people and excuse them or "blowing their own horns" on their blog!....Blog!.... Man get a life, the blogging world is full of people who "blow their own horns"...this is reality. Deal with it mate.

Before we proceed, lets define what "Blowing Ones Own Trumpet!" means.

Act in a boastful, self-promoting manner.

Origin
The term in its present form is 19th century. Anthony Trollope, in his work Australia and new Zealand, 1873 observed:
"In the colonies..when a gentleman sounds his own trumpet he 'blows.'"



Every blogger I know off writes about his/her self. They write about their life and according to the above definition all bloggers in the world "Blow their own Horns"

People should realise something its my blog! and Jagjits's blog is Jagjit's blog! what we write and talk about on our blogs is totally our fancy. If you are not interested in reading then go f**k off. Please don't bother commenting because you are wasting your time. We don't need people like you reading our blogs.

If you have never read the International Bloggers Manifesto before here is it,

  1. Life is uncensored.
  2. My blog does not capture the full me.
  3. Judge my thoughts, but not me.
  4. If you don't like what you see, look elsewhere.
  5. I love talking about my life.
  6. I love writing about other people's lives.
  7. I will post whenever I feel like posting.
  8. I don't have to blog every meme.
  9. You don't have to agree with everything I say.
  10. I egosurf Daypop, Google, and Blogdex nightly.
  11. I share what I want to share.
  12. Pictures of myself are not obligatory.
  13. I visit every site in my blogroller regularly.
  14. I won't post for the sake of posting.
  15. I have a life outside of blogging.
  16. I have registered my blogging tool(s).
  17. I may criticize other bloggers, not harass them.
  18. I have the right to revise a post.
  19. When blogging becomes a chore, I'll quit doing it.
  20. I've given something back to the blogging community.
  21. If I want to complain about something, I will.
  22. If I want to praise something, I will.
  23. I am not the best blogger on the planet, but I'm the best blogger on my blog
  24. I don't have to explain myself to you.

So If we "Blow Our Own Horns" and you don't like it, then go piss off. Because we will do what we want on our blogs.

Changing The Look of this blog

by Mr.J

Since I've been changing my personal style and look, I figure I better change the look and style of this blog too. Its more clean and simple with this template. I've been thinking of getting a professional custom made template built specifically for this blog but decided not to because I rather just have the ability to change my template whenever I feel like doing so.

My New Blogging Business Cards

Monday, March 19, 2007 by Mr.J





























Sikh Blogger Update 19/03/07

by Mr.J

My business blogging solution site is BlogsMy where I provide intensive education to people who are interested in making money online. Not only I'll provide the educational material, we will also give the potential customer tools to start making money immediately. One of these tools is the multi user wordpress blogs.

My programmer is currently still scripting the codes for this system. It will take him till the end of May to complete the software. When done I will have the complete rights to it. So I can duplicate it on and site with any theme.

SikhBlogger.com will be a free service. However I was thinking, to set up this kind of site will require some serious hosting and maintenance. The cost of those two things will be bomb. So I've decided while SikhBlogger.com free, each blog will have an adsense code where I will generate some income to cover up all this cost or another possible way is to use adsense profit sharing system.



It works like this. Each site will have an adsense plugin. Where the user will add in their Adsense publisher Id. The host (that me) will also put in my adsense publisher id into this plugin. Then when the user write post to generate traffic and if his traffic click on the adsense ads. We both get paid on a 50-50 basis.

Thats fair isnt it? I provide the space and platform. The user provides the content and we both benefit from it.

I have not finalize the revenue model yet, cause its still early. I have set a date to complete this project.

Its on 31st Nov 2007. The first blog will go live on this date. I am hoping this will create some shock waves in the sikh community.

An example of the type of blogs you can expect can be seen here. Try and sign up. Mess around a bit and see if you like what the features are. This sample site doesnt gives much. Because mine is being programmed by a independent person, I can add loads more features to the system.

Sikh Blogger? What You Think?

by Mr.J

I just recently hired a programmer to write a software which will enable a service provider to provide free wordpress blogs to its users. I am currently building a Bussiness blogging solution website. Its suppose to be launch in July.
Anyways If you dont know what is wordpress well it is like a way advance version of blogger.com You can do so much of things with wordpress blogs compared to a blogger blog. My New Art of Speaking blog is using wordpress platform.

I was thinking since in SikhiWiki listed over 200 plus bloggers and many more are not listed yet. Which means there is a huge group of sikh based blogs isn't it? Using this software I can create a service something like blogger for the sikh bloggers out there. How cool is that?

I'll call it Sikh Blogger







Ha ha interesting concept isnt it. So what is Sikh Blogger? Its a service that provides you with free wordpress blogs. And I will also help you to transfer your blog from blogger to sikh blogger. All of this will absolutely free! You will also get cool custom made themes that reflect your sikhi pride and really awesome plugins that make your blog do alsmost magically stuff.



So just imagine your blog having the URL or address of


jagdeepsingh.sikhblogger.com

jagjit.sikhblogger.com

ajit.sikhblogger.com

cool.sikhblogger.com

Iam.sikhblogger.com

Khalsa.sikhblogger.com

and so on ....


If everything works fine with my paid site, which a programmer is helping me develop soon maybe end of this year you can enjoy blogging at Sikh Blogger. Tell me what you think of this idea and should I do it?

Are Bald Men Sexy? I'm Shaving My Head Bald Today!

Sunday, March 18, 2007 by Mr.J


Do you dare to go bare? I do. I was planning to change my personal style, its already due for a review. I review my personal style every 7 years. This time I think Im going to go bare and shave my head bald. Some say bald is sexy, I know some women think that but I am not doing it to be sexy. I am doing it because I need a fresh look and I have not tried going bare.

Off course I’m not denying the sex appeal of a bald men. For many women, nothing is more appealing than a guy who is confident enough to bare a shaven head

I am going to try this for a couple of weeks. If it doesn’t fit me, I’ll let my hair grow back. So don’t be shock to see Jag all shaven now. Time to be sexy and find a chick… ha ha. I will put up a photograph of my head after I have shaven it. I'll have the before and after photo. I am so excited about this. I cant wait to do it, another 2 hours more and I'll be Naked on top...ha ha

How well do your site rank on the search engine?

by Mr.J

I was doing some testing on my other sites to see how well they rank compared to other web sites. Later I decided to check and see how well this site fares in the search engine as I have not done any "Search Engine Optimization" or SEO on it. I know this sounds like me blowing my own trumpet but hey its my blog and I can do anything on it even it means blowing the trumpet once a while. Anyways let see the results.

For the keyword: "Make Money Jagdeep Singh" I rank no 1 from 12,900 sites.

seo ranking 1

(click to enlarge)


For the keyword: "Jagdeep Singh Malaysia" I rank no 15 from 621 sites.
seo ranking 2

(click to enlarge)



For the keyword: "Jagdeep Singh Senghera" I rank no 2 from 25 sites.

seo ranking 3

(click to enlarge)


For the keyword: "Jagdeep Singh" I rank no 34 from 103,000 sites.

seo ranking 4

(click to enlarge)



I did check a fellow malaysian sikh blogger Jagjit's blog to see if he rank well too. And he did. The secret why both of us get high rankings is because be post on a consistent basis. So if you have a personal blog, please blog often enough. People hate seeing a blog that hasnt been updated more then a month.

Making Money Through Titan Pay Affiliate Program

by Mr.J

Make Money

What is Titan Pay?
What is a company that sells a few products online for profesional webmasters and bloggers. I just recently joined thier affiliate programe. Which means if I refer a person to their site and that person buys from the site then I will get a fraction of the profit.


The products this company sells is;


The Content Club membership - I get USD$80 payout whenever someone sign up for this.

The Blog Solution - I get USD$83 commision payout for each sale.

The Content Solution - I get USD$59 commision for each sale.


Here is the best thing, as you know I am currently in the process of completing my blogging ebook titled "The Blog Traffic Professional" This ebook is targeted to professional blogger and internet marketers. The book will sell for only USD$17, this is damn cheap for Americans. Its almost the price of a single McD's meal in USA.

The idea here is to sell the ebook cheap and promote the other product in the ebook. So I make more from the backend of the book. Just imagine if I sell 100 ebooks (Of by the way I make a profit of USD$10 from each frontend sale of this ebook) and 20 people chooses to sign up for the membership site. I will then get USD$1600 for the membership site plus USD$1000 from the ebooks. That an awesome USD$ 2600 of profit.

The math is very seductive and attractive. Making this figure a reality will take some effort. The membership site cost USD$97 per month and not everybody can afford it. Thats why I have targeted my ebook "The Blog Traffic Professional" to the professional bloggers who are currently making money from their blogs.

Another strategy I recently discovered is to create short ebooks and distribute it in torrent sites and free distribution sites. In each ebook there are links to these affiliate products. This way however converts slow. Which means for every 100 people who download the ebooks only 1 will sign up for the membership site. This is ok for me because I dont fork out any cost in creating the ebooks and distributing them is even more easy.

I have my fingers cross on this one. Lets see what kind of results I can get from this strategy

God’s Master Plan for Life Is Overrated!

Saturday, March 17, 2007 by Mr.J


The above graphic was drawn by a New York Artist names Hugh. Look at it and you know it makes sense. Let me summarize it for you. Click it to enlarge it.

Born
Start schooling and hating it
Start employment and hating it
Get married and start despising it.
Get children and spend all your money on him/her.
Then another kid arrives and you are getting broke.
Wife gets bored with married life and you start having issues in your marriage.
You change your job and still hates it.
Most probably fight with your wife all your life or you get divorce (Fight/Flight Syndrome).
Middle age kicks in and you go trade in your wife with a better model. (either you have an affair or marry a new wife)
You hit old age and nothing can be certain
Death

Wow, interesting isn’t it? I am not saying that everyone will follow this model but something similar. You get born, study the first part of your life, work the rest part of your life then support your family at the middle of your life and at the end of your life you start to worry what will happen to you and the next thing you know its time to leave planet earth.

You can choose this life but I am not! Enough of conforming and following the herd for me. I am choosing to be a non-conformist. I will get married at my own time. I’ll have children when I want them not when its time to have them. I will live my life first before I live other people’s life.

There is nothing much I can say about this. I have chosen.

Want to Make Money Online But Don’t Know Internet Marketing?

Friday, March 16, 2007 by Mr.J

I know a lot of you are interested in knowing how to make money from the internet. Let me make this clear here, its not easy money. You really have to work to get the income. I know most of you don’t know internet marketing and have very little knowledge in the technical part of this business. Don’t worry I have here few tips on how to make money online even if you don’t know internet marketing.


Freelance Writing

If you can write articles and books. If you are good in your English then I suggest you look into
www.elance.com This site is for freelance writers. If there is an internet marketer looking for some content on his site he will go to this site and hire a freelancer to write for him. The articles is about 500 - 800 words and will usually fetch $5 - $8 each. The internet marketers will ask a freelancer to write 10 – 20 articles at one time. That’s already around $80(RM300 something). To make a real income you need to secure around 10 – 15 article writing jobs on elance.

Another way is to write ebooks. I got my first ebook written on elance.com and I paid the lady who wrote the book $600 for it. Its was only 60 pages long and took her a week to write it. Just imagine securing 3 or 4 of these kinds of projects. You’ll get around $2400 (RM8000 something) in a month. So if you are a good writer, look into this option.

Creating Videos.

This is a fun option. Places like youtube and other video sharing sites are beginning to share their revenues with video uploaders. If you upload an interesting video and get many people viewing the video then you get paid a fraction of the revenue generated from the video.

The fun part comes in because you can do the really silly videos and make money with it. Try this out it looks really promising.


Selling Photographs online

Here is the secret of photographers. You can sell your photographs online. If you have a fair amount of photography skills then head down to
www.istockphoto.com and upload your photos there. I am not sure about how the revenue is shared but it is a worth while option to look into.

Remember that your photos don’t need to be really good. However you need to upload good quality photos. These photos are used for various reasons and being aware of your target market will be beneficial. Go for the web designers since they need photo’s for the sites they are working on.

Don’t ever send your family photo’s and hope to make money from it. Trust me no body wants to buy your family photos.


I’ve listed a few options here but there are so much more you can do online and you don’t even need to know all these internet marketing stuff. Just spend some time looking at some opportunities over the net and you will be surprise how there is online.

Where Is All The Videos From India?

by Mr.J

Between me and my brother, hardy we have taken around 5 hours of worth of videos in India. I took video from the digital camera, which save the short clips in MOV files. I don’t know how to edit this video format. I tried it with “Microsoft Movie Maker” and it didn’t accept the MOV files. The only software that can edit these files is “iMovie” from Apple. However that software can’t be used with Windows yet. So I wont be uploading these short clips up.

The video’s Hardy took with a Sony Digital Video Camera, which burn directly into DVD format on a 30min DVD disk. We were able to transfer the files into our laptops. All of these files are in DVD format, which I have no experience in. We are trying to combine all of them into one DVD. I however can convert these DVD files into MPG and edit them with “Microsoft Movie Maker”. So maybe in the next coming weeks I will edit one or two and upload them to youtube.





I thinking of uploading videos on the gurdwaras we went and one of we having fun in India. Stay tune for these videos.

Sketching Potraits at my free time

Thursday, March 15, 2007 by Mr.J

I've just recently taken up a new hobby. Its sketching portraits. I was really impress with a street artist that was sketching the a girl's face in Sunway Lagoon. I never really explore arts in my life before. When I was young, I was pushed more towards studying and get good grades. I remember the only thing I painted was of an abstract geometric art that the art teacher gave as a homework. She said I was good with colors. I used to love playing with colors those times.


But after the once instant of artistry on my part, I dont remember having actively involved with art at all. Only recently I took up digital imaging with photoshop and open up the more creative side of me.


I saw this guy sketch the girl face in about 15minutes. He was only using a pencil and the result was amazing. I was really impressed. I was thinking about this guy and how he does this stuff and about pencil sketching in general for the past few days. Its said if you have something on your mind thats bothering you, then meditate on it and you will find an answer. So I did and the answer I got was "Why Not Do It and See How Good You Are At It"



Yesterday night, I spend more then 1 hour sketching my eye out on paper. The result for a first time attempt that most people think that only gifted people can do is really encouraging. I just cant get over the fact that its soo life like. I took me 1 hour just sketching a small part of the face. I didnt even do both of the eyes, I just did one. However this first sketch is really encourage me to accept sketching as something in my life. I will keep on doing it till I master this art.


The below is the sketch I did. I didnt know what setting to put my scanner to, so I got this result. It doesnt really shoe the shading that well. The original one is way better. Let me know how is it. Did you like it?

My Ideas on Being Romantic and really mushy with your gf

Tuesday, March 13, 2007 by Mr.J

These ideas here are taken straight from my experience with have some of my ex-gf. I know most chick think I am bit shy and reserve. I choose the people I talk to and become close to. I am guilty on this. I can’t deny who I am. When I become comfortable with someone and really open up to them, they wont even recognize me. Most of my gf’s find me a different person after they get to know me rather then when I was courting them (hopefully a more attractive person). Maybe because I never really allow other people to get close and be intimate with myself. And when I do allow someone to get close, they often get shocked because I tend to break their set perceptions about me.

Anyways back to the romantic ideas here. Since I was in India on Valentine day and missed it here in Malaysia. I decided to redeem my self with a post-valentine day article. Hey its valentine everyday for me mate…all I need is someone to celebrate valentine’s with.


Idea 1

If your Gf is staying away from you, somewhere like JB for instant and you are here in KL or if your GF is going away traveling or something for a while. You tell her you are really worried about her and you must really express this. Tell her that you have to arrange a bodyguard for her. Play around with her and crack a few jokes on getting a bodyguard for her. And when she least expect it you take out a small teddy bear and give it to her. Tell her that it will be her bodyguard. Make this moment something sweet. Trust me if you do this, she will love you even more.


Idea 2

I’ve used this before successfully. Girls just love to be surprised by their bf’s. The best way to surprised her is to leave her small romantic notes that she will find when least expected. You can leave notes in her mobile phone or capture a short video of you saying something romantic on her mobile. Sooner or later she will find this video and love you for it. Another way is to write romantic notes in the book she is reading. Choose to write these notes at a page she have not read. The best is at the middle of the book because people rarely read to the end. Leave romantic notes in her purse. Leave romantic notes on her organizer or diary. Anywhere she least expect it to be. Don’t over do this, you risk appearing a desperado. Do it sparingly. Its really effective, don’t believe me and try it for yourself. See how she much more excited she gets when she finds one of these notes.


Idea 3

This one is a bit dangerous. You know most guys when they want to get romantic they will send their gf’s roses or flowers at her workplace isn’t it? Well this is too common. It works but doesn’t really give one the impact he is looking for. I came up with this wild idea when one of my female workmate got flowers delivered to her at our office. At that moment when she got it, I was thinking “Get original mate…flowers how boring! If it was me, I’ll get a huge big card draw out 'I love You Always - Jag' inside a big red heart with a small cartoon figure of me and my gf (Im not talking about the big greeting cards, Iam talking about Hand drawing the card) and mail to her working place so she receive it in the middle of a busy day” Wow, just imagine getting that at your workplace. Not that’s what I call romance…too bad I don’t have the guts to do it. Well got to wait for the next gf to try this one out.

Idea 4

This is my favorite. Be attentive to your gf. Remember what she likes and loves. Notice what she often orders in the mamak stall. Notice her for haven sake! If you have spend more then a week with a girl you like and don’t know what she likes, You are a nut! What you can do is to ask her friends (a little dangerous) or her family (preferably her mom, if you dare) or play “What I missed most from my childhood game”.

In this game both of you take turn telling each other what you really missed most from your childhood. Note down everything she likes or misses. One thing I need to clarify since Im speaking to men here. If she says she misses having ice-cream while ridding a swing, then don’t forget to ask her what is the flavour! Get the details. Remember the details. Its only special to her if its chocolate and not vanilla. Get it?

There was once, when I, my gf (name not disclosed for my protection, If she finds out I wrote about our relationship on this blog she will kill me! I don’t want to die just yet. I still have a couple more gf’s to experience before I get married… :P) and her friend were shopping in brickfield for depawali clothes. We passed by an Indian sweet shop. She asked for a certain sweet but they didn’t have it in the shop. When I asked her what kind of sweet it was, I notice she got really excited explaining the sweet to me. So what did I do? I remembered the name of that particular sweet (I cant remember what is the name of the sweet now since that was like ages ago.) Almost a month went by then one day while we were having lunch at “Nirvana’s” in bangsar with her sisters, I excused my self and went to a North Indian restaurant nearby and asked for that particular sweet. They had it, I bought it and by the time I got back to the table, she was almost finishing her lunch. I gave her the sweet and she just exploded with joy. The experience for her was awesome because at first she was dumbfounded as how I knew she like that particular sweet and when I explain to her how. She was surprise that I even remember after 1 month a conversation that she had forgotten. She loved me for it until the day I dumped her. (Hey shit happens..) nothing personal.

So listen up guys. Notice your gf. Period! Remember the details and do stuff like this. She will love you for it. Especially Punjabi girls, since most of them have a false conception that Punjabi guys aren’t romantic. Pull one of these on punjaban and she will melt in your hands.
