I come across to have some changes of the permanent link on my blog.

The requirement for the URL change are simple:
1. must have category slug in the URL
2. the old existing URL will be able to be redirected to new one.

so, how to do it?

Firstly, just download the plugin to take care of the redirection of old postname only urnl to new one.

you can download it from https://wordpress.org/plugins/postname-permalink-auto-redirect/

then just go to permalink setting, change it to custom with parameter as :

“/%category%/%postname%/”

to test, just hit the old url and check the “network” tab in inspect tool.
it should have been redirected successfully to new URL.

Goodluck.

I just recently made a  purchase for a marketing seminar that will be talking about Instagram marketing.

From what I observed, there are similar pattern exist in most online shop platform.

The following is what I found as its basic component:

so, must write first ugly draft and re-edit it again and again. anyway just write it down. no matter how bad it would turn out to be.   it just that sometimes, took too many shortcut and published the first ugly draft as final content. haha   Well, at this point of time, my office area are stil recovering from the haze. kid’s school session already resumed. hopefully getting better in next few days

.

no filter? no, it is N95 .

My macbook having some problem with its battery recently. And at some point it drained all the powers and I could even start it, although I connect it directly to chargers.

So, after so much try to boot it up failed.

I found the following step able to make it start again.

Firstly, my Mac notebook computers have a non-removable battery.
It maybe applied to
MacBook (Retina, 12-inch, Early 2015) and probably later.

Shut down your Mac.

Unplug the MagSafe or USB-C power adapter from your computer.

Using the built-in keyboard, press Shift-Control-Option on the left side of the keyboard, then press the power button at the same time. Hold these keys and the power button for 10 seconds.

Release all keys.

Reconnect the power adapter.

Press the power button again to turn on your Mac.

You will hear the chime when it successfully able to boot up.

Goodluck.

The bus services under RapidKL has been using Touch N Go , cashless method.

You can longer use cash to ride the bus.

Previously the fare was RM1 for local route.

There is no problem with that provided you have always bring along your Touch N Go.

Heck, you can even used your Identification Card (IC), which also have Touch N Go service enabled.

one problem tough… with touch N Go,

you have to make sure your remaining balance is more than RM3.00

Otherwise you may not able to use the services at all. Even LRT also can’t ride whenever your balance is below RM3.00 , doesn’t matter if your have activated My100 or My50, the balance still need to be more than RM3.00  before you can use the services.

Hmm, one thing about this that annoyed me so much was. it is also HELPLESS, when you’re running low on balance. the person next to you can’t just pull out RM3 and give it to you anymore.

I saw one incident where a lady, when tapping her touch n Go to the reader, it had “Baki anda tidak mencukupi”.

then she pulled up her phone, opening the Touch n Go apps, clearly can see her Touch n Go wallet had a balance of RM 11.00 , which is enough to cover the ride expense.

However, the interesting part is, one cannot transfer this balance to the actual Touch N Go card.. after a while, she just step down and disembark the bus.

this Touch N Go for rapidKL DOES NOT YET support seamless link between touch N go wallet and its physical card.

only certain tolls (NKVE also cannot use yet) may have this capabilities at this moment. Yes,I think they called as “PayDirect”, where as you can see the big banner above the toll plaza wherever this is available. It will attempt to charge from your Touch N Go wallet first, if that failed/insufficient fund, then it will deduct from physical card Touch N Go. But you have to “link” your physical card to the wallet first. It is supported up to 3 physical touch N Go card.

But one cannot even transfer anything neither between these cards nor to/from wallet account.

Weird, it is not like a starbuck card where one can use the physical card or QR code on the apps to pay or reload, which sit in the very same account. and can be used at any starbuck store without needing to transfer here and there.

Touch N Go, .. well. I rest my case.

Kata ustaz, berapa ramai antara kita yang berpuasa,tapi tidak mendapat apa-apa manfaat kecuali lapar dan dahaga.?
Siapa kah mereka itu?

Sekali pun puasa itu adalah sah, namun ia tidak mendapat apa-apa manfaat kecuali lapar dan dahaga,

Terdapat 5 perkara yang membatalkan pahala puasa.

Ini adalah perkara yang patut kita elakkan selepas penat berpuasa.

1. Kadib – Menipu
   Berbicara dengan perkataan yang diketahui tidak benar.

   Umpama 10 perkara yang diberitahu olehnya, ada 11 tak boleh dipercayai.
   Kerana apa? yang 10 disebutnya itu adalah bohong, dan satu yang tidak disebutnya adalah tidak boleh dipercayai.

2. Ghibah – Mengumpat
   Berbicara perihal yang benar mengenai keburukan si polan, meskipun si polan memang benar ada mempunyai keburukan tersebut.
3. Namimah – Mengadu domba
   Menyampaikan satu perkara dari pihak A ke pihak C yang pihak A tidak mahu pihak C mengetahuinya.
   Dan boleh menimbulkan perselisihan antara A dan C.
4. Memandang dengan syahwat
   Perihal `nasi-lemak ` dipasar .
   Pandangan yang tidak dibenarkan selain untuk urusan jual beli atau seisi taaruf.
5. Bersumpah dengan sumpah yang palsu
   Perkara yang diketahui adalah palsu olehnya, namun bersumpah oleh nya kerana ingin menjadikannya seolah-olah ianya benar.

Kata ustaz,  jika ada antara 5 perkara ini dilakukan, pahalanya mungkin terbatal.
Oleh itu DIAM adalah orang yang selamat.

Ini adalah sedutan tazkirah selepas tarawih pada tahun ini.

Starting from 1 Feb 2019, the MRT feeder bus is no longer accepting cash payment for the ticket.

Must either use Touch N Go or other concession card i.eMy100 or My50.

And mind you, the balance of Touch N Go must be above RM 3.00

Just don’t make the same mistakes as mine. haha

Yesterday, I just have to disembark the bus from MRT Sg Buloh to Damansara Damai and wait for the next bus.

Because I normally paid RM 1.00 cash upon boarding the bus. So I didn’t prepare either Touch N Go or have My100 activated on my I/C. The touch N Go topup service fee is RM 0.50 , which is available at the level 1, in Sg Buloh MRT station. so, I just reload my Touch N Go card and wait for the next bus.

here is the announcement from the RapidKL.

in case you also missed it .

p/s : if not enough balance, just get down first and reload first. then wait for next bus! haha

On last week weekend, we went to Hutan Rekreasi Tanjung Tuan.

It was a last minutes decision to visit this place, just because I’ve never been here before. 🙂

The fee is just RM 1 for an adults, and all my kids fee are waived.

It was said to be just about 800m to the top.

But somehow I feel it is more than that.

Here is the road to the top.

After about half-hour, we reach the top.

Which will have the following steps:

And there we can just view from the outside, because visitor is not allowed inside the lighthouse.

So, there is another trail toward the beach.

It took us a while on this trail before can reach the beach.

Upon arriving the beach, it is very peaceful.

As there is no one else  .. 🙂

hahaha

The view is very nice.

But I’m not going to repeat that in near time soon.

🙂

If you like to visit this place here is the place details:

Taman Eko Rimba Tanjung Tuan

• 20 km dari Bandar Port Dickson melalui jalan Melaka-Port Dickson
• Terletak di dalam Hutan Simpan Tanjung Tuan
• Hutan Dipterokarpa Bukit
• Bayaran kemasukan RM1.00
• Dibuka dari 7.00 pagi hingga 6.00 petang

I am going talk about some finance in this post, not because I’m the expert in this area…

But because it affect a lot of thing in my life. And I guess it would be the same for you too.

There are some mistake that took years to be rectified.
And the most costly one are from the financial mis-step.

At some point we believe whatever we are buying at that particular moment is the best for money item.

But it turned out to be not the best one..

One example is how we are saving some pennies from buying an apps,

which may cost just about RM 4 – RM 10 or  something priced at is USD 1.00 – USD 1.99

We thought when didn’t buy and opted for the FREE one with ads.. it would save us some money.

But, you can try calculate how much ads have been appeared on the device from we we started using the app.

the non-stop advertising every few minutes .. 🙂 total it up , you just wasted much more time and data cost for that piece of saving.

Another one is about doing small and trivial task but repetitive task again and again.

We could just opted to use an outsource services and pay them some money to perform it for us.

Yet, we decided to do it by ourselves…

then you can try to calculate how much is your hourly rate and

compare it against the reasonable asking price if we are hiring the right person just to complete it.

In long run it would be cheaper to pay the right resource to do it.

and FREE your own time to do something else that have much more significant impact for yourself and your future.

For example is picking up and reading the management books ! hahaha 🙂

I love the example of hiring a DJ to select and choose the song for your playlist.

Rather than going through thousand of songs and pick one. Just let the DJ do their job.

So, at the end of the day, whatever hit your ears it already being filtered or at least it was picked up earlier.

Oh, by the way, regarding online stream music, for this one Spotify is charging RM 14 ~ USD 3-4 each month to do it automatically for me.

Mind you, even if you opted for “Apple Music” store, it would also charging the same amount .. 😉

On the side note, the government of the day for Malaysia will be starting charging tax for this three foreign online services somewhere next year.

Netflix .. Spotify.. and also Steam ! hahaha ~ I’m using 2 out of 3 from this list. 🙂

I am not sure if I could switch back to normal broadcast TV show.

Don’t get me wrong, I just can’t bear the advertisement and also the stereo-typed of

“popular” drama story line that it may be entertaining for the majority of  other people in here..

-> read “Isteri untuk disewa ~” (this one blow up my mind ! how could the producer and everyone else agreed on such title in the first place?)

Anyway, back to the topic, I feel it just seem like a backward strategy

if I decided to give up these services just based on tax being charged by the government of the day.

What if something else being taxed, should I switch them too ??

P/s : Maybe I just need to work my ass to get extra money and pay for “premium service”,

so that I can have the privilege to watch and consume a bit better quality content.

Ah, I will just do that for the coming years! 2019 !

—

how about you ?

Would you just stop using the premium service just that to avoid that “tax” .. ?
the percentage doesn’t matter, it just being there to induce some pain.

it exist as a mean to cause hurt to your pocket when you making that decision. 🙂

it is definitely a mind game nonetheless.
