Happy Spring Festival !
May this year of the Gold Dragon (every 60 years) bring you
joy, health, prosperity and many roaring returns 
Sorry for the lack of updates over the past few weeks. I’ve had a few problems with my laptop and after a few trip back and force to the HP Service Center, I finally got it in working order. Which means I’ll be able to update this blog more regularly from now on. Yay !
Best wishes for 2012 !
projects to live and share;
work for yourself and your loved ones;
and time to achieve all you want.
Sometimes, the simplest answer is the best one.
I know it’s sometimes difficult to find some time for exercises. What with all the commuting, socializing and working one has to do on a daily basis. But walking a few minutes and choosing to take a flight of stairs instead of the dreaded elevator are simple yet powerful solutions.
If like me you look after a toddler / young kid, you can also use him as a work-out buddy. My son loves when I lift him up in the air and pretend he is a plane, he also very much enjoy our little walk and being carried around when I am taking care of errands. My arms have never been this strong 
Hats off to the Doctor-Professor who came up with this 23 1/2 hour concept and to the illustrator – awesome job !
Malaysia video
I apologize for the lack of update over the recent weeks.
Year end craze in full swing.
To make up for it, here is a nice video on Malaysia. In less than 7mn they manage to squeeze a lot of what makes this country special and such a great place to live in. Malaysia boleh !
Cooking Up SEO
I’ve been a heavy internet user since 1995, when my parents got a “club internet” subscription. It was love at first sight. So much so that I tried to create a few websites using frontpage. They never really attracted many visitors. I did not know yet about Search Engine Optimization (SEO).
SEO is about improving the visibility of your website or web page in search engines. The higher your site rank in the search engine result page, the more visitors will visit it. The following vido is a good introduction to the basics of SEO.
What I have grown to respect a lot about SEO is that while the web is ever changing, malleable and on the move, the basics of SEO remain the same. A bit like in cooking. The good recipes all share the same basic principles: fresh ingredients, quality products, and good craftsmanship.
Over the years, I’ve learned most of these basics. Today, if I can not claim to be a three star chef a la Danny Sullivan, Aaron Wall or Rand Fishkin, I know enough to play around the kitchen, cook most of the basics on a daily basis, and throw in a grand dinner once in a while
