What does June offer for me

June is all about opening our mind and making decision to change. Sort of turning point.

In terms of personal life, my boy and I have been discussing and weighing a lot of life aspects. Decided to make the change as well, which will take place in about 3 months from now. We are super exciting! If you are thinking about baby, scratch that idea please. Hehe.. It’s something bigger than purchasing TV mounts.

In term of business, we are in the midst of re-design and re-align both simplyWP and Zhng Design Studio; from the strategy aspect and also the interface. Time to really apply what we’ve learnt during the advertising course!

Oh btw, I just had my first online interview. You can read my insightful and inspirational stories *cough cough* on my client’s site, Between Us Girls.

In the process, I became one of simplyWP.net?s most particular customers as well as great colleagues with my designer, though separated by thousands of miles. Yes the internet has spawned personal and work relationships, but I would have never thought I would be working with someone in Malaysia, yes Malaysia.

Sachkia is residing in UK Virgin Islands and I’m in Malaysia, yet we get to work together thanks to internet and email. This (read: work with people around the world) is also one of the thing that I like from my job. It offers so many possibilities for me.

Happy Wednesday! :)

WordCamp MY goodies is here!

WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress; for casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other. WordCamp Malaysia 2010 is the first WordCamp to be held in Malaysia! It?s happening on the 22nd of May 2010, Cititel Mid Valley. Read More here.

The parcel was sent on yesterday and we received it this afternoon. Fast! Thank you PosLaju and WCMY’s organizer, Simon to be specific. This goodies somewhat cure our heartache for not able to attend the first WordCamp in Malaysia.

There is Kaspersky Anti Virus licenses, T-shirt, and WordPress Schwag (WordPress pencil, stickers, pink pins!, and temporary tattoos all the way from San Fransisco). How sweet! Maybe next time we can have WordPress table lighting, mousepad, etc? :P

Both T-shirt is M size, definitely too big for me, but never mind. I still love the design, referring to the M word in Petronas twin tower shape. And the quote “Code is poetry” is very true for my boy – the geeky hubby.

We’re so looking forward to attend the next WordCamp Malaysia (or Asia) and maybe would like to involve in sponsorship again. :) Hopefully it won’t crash again with whatever plan that we will have later.

P.S. Happy birthday WordPress! Seven years and you’re going stronger.

One Week to WordCamp Malaysia 2010

Last 2 years I heard about WordCamp in Philippine, where the founder of WordPress (Matt Mullenweg) flew all the way to Manila. Followed by that event, Indonesia had its first WordCamp in Jakarta. But I heard nothing from Malaysia. I was like,”Hey, Ain’t Malaysia always one step forward from Indonesia?”

Well, thanks to the people who want to make thing happens, Malaysia will have its first WordCamp on May 22nd at Mid Valley. from 8am to 5pm. :) Registration is open at WordCamp MY site, only RM150 per person. Super worthy consider you will get to broaden your knowledge, get to networking with several other like-minded people (WordPress enthusiasts, webdeveloper, etc), get free stuffs (better than hip hop clothes; there is Kaspersky Anti Virus licenses etc), meal is included too.

My boy and I did show our support too by being the Gold sponsor. But unfortunately we won’t be attending the event as we just came back from our honeymoon trip. Btw, we managed to meet up for lunch with one of WordCamp MY’s organizers, during our short visit to KL (after Bali) on last Wednesday. We will be eyeing for the next WordCamp though, be it in Singapore, Indonesia or Malaysia.
