Kenapa entri aku yang di bawah ini berbaur macam seorang mata duitan?
Kalau berborak dengan sahabat baek dari kecil dan beliau bercerita tentang gaji pertama beliau kini yang bernilai sekitar RM 9000~10,000 untuk hanya tempoh dua minggu berkerja, macam mana aku boleh tidak teringinkan kerja yang serupa juga?
"Maka yang mana satu di antara nikmat-nikmat Tuhan kamu, yang kamu hendak dustakan?"
Surah Ar-Rahman, ayat 34 (dan diulang beberapa kali)
Today's Sunday, and today I have this great feeling of joy knowing that this is actually how a Sunday should be (for me) after all this time. This is not an ordinary Sunday like all the Sundays I've had throughout the year. Because finally I have the time to actually sit with my guitar and play randomly for hours. Finally I have plenty of times that are not filled with worry about homeworks and some other stuffs. It's really one big relief, as if all the burden on my shoulders are gone, similar to that feeling you get when you finally able to drench your body into a hot tub after a long day of work. Except that I don't get wet for this.
First, we're happy to announce that the team has identified and fixed the issue with the YouTube conduit; you can now find and add videos from YouTube to your library and posts. As always, thanks for your patience!
The other news we have today is about a new addition to the Six Apart family: TypePad Micro, a new free level of TypePad that is streamlined for microblogging. We see a new form of blogging emerging that lives between the quick status updates of Twitter and Facebook and the long-form posts of "classic" blogging; TypePad Micro is designed to meet that need. You can read more about TypePad Micro in Chris Alden's post on the Everything TypePad blog.
A lot of the new capabilities we've added to TypePad this year were actually inspired by some of the best things about Vox: favoriting, member profiles, a dashboard to follow other bloggers, and easy ways to post content from other social media sites. But the things that make Vox different from TypePad are still there: Vox has always been -- and still is -- the best place for "friends and family" blogging, where you're in control over who sees what. TypePad, on the other hand, is built for the blogger who wants, no, craves, attention.
Do you have a passion or interest you want to share with people beyond your Vox neighborhood? If so, we'd love it if you tried out TypePad Micro. Maybe you've always wanted to start that obsessive blog that's just about waffle restaurants. Or want a place to share videos of your favorite band (Jonas Brothers, anyone? Anyone? ...). TypePad Micro's great for those topic-specific blogs. Take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
On the Vox front, our designers are working on some cool new themes (coming soon!). We'd also love to hear your thoughts about where we should take Vox in the coming year. What are the key things you'd like to see for Vox? If you've had a chance to use TypePad this year, what are the features there that we should bring over to Vox? And, if you're thinking big thoughts, how could we connect the Vox and TypePad communities in order to bring together bloggers and their shared passions? Your feedback is really important to us, so please leave a comment here, or shoot me a message.
And again, thanks for your patience as we found and fixed the YouTube bug!

As many of you have noticed, the YouTube Conduit is not working. I am so sorry about this; I know how frustrating it is.
The team is looking into how to get this fixed and I will update you as soon as I hear something. In the meantime, not all is lost... There is a work-around for posting videos.
When you're in the Compose Screen, just click on "embed." Ignore the fact that it says "Widget" before everything because you can definitely use this to embed videos as well. You'll just need to input the embed code from the video, enter a title (if you want) and hit OK.
It might not show up perfectly in your compose screen, but when you hit "Save," your video should appear just the way you wanted it to.
Hopefully this will allow you to keep posting videos while we figure out what's happening on our end.
As always, thanks for your patience.
Tempoh hari aku mengalami situasi yang agak sukar (dan mungin lucu juga jika dilihat dari sudut peribadi).
Sepatutnya aku menolak turun entri sebelum ini yang kononnya sedih terlebih awal tetapi apakan daya aku masih belum ada apa-apa idea menarik untuk ditulis. Well in fact, aku sebenarnya tak memerlukan idea menarik sangat pun untuk menulis sesuatu, tetapi kadang-kadang bosan juga bila membaca penulisan yang tiada isi, bukan? Kalau guru Bahasa Melayu aku di MRSM dahulu membaca hasil penulisan aku di sini, sudah tentu dia kecewa. Ini sajakah kemampuan dan hasil dari anak muridnya yang satu masa dahulu sering menerima A1 dalam peperiksaan Bahasa Melayu?
Satu perkara lucu yang aku sedari secara tidak sengaja semenjak aku meningkat dewasa ialah situasi di mana mengingati tajuk-tajuk lagu yang aku pernah dengari telah menjadi agak sukar, tidak kiralah sama ada dari kugiran yang sudah lama aku minati atau yang baru mahu berjinak dengan citarasa aku. Nampaknya neuron-neuron otak sudah mula menunjukkan kegagalannya untuk mengekalkan memori dengan cekap.
