To all my muslim friends,

MojaAmin, Uner, Achmed, Gnome, and others…

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan dan Berpuasa! May Allah give you the strength to spend this blessed month for change and purification.

The greeting card depicting the mosque is the courtesy of NoktahHitam.

I have no idea what had happened. It began all out of a sudden, a total blackout for more than twelve hours. No access to my blog and my CPanel.

I felt so screwed. Knowing nothing at all, wasn’t informed a single thing. Screwed!

Anyway, I have been considering two options of late. It’s either I stop blogging once and for all or switch to another host. Both seems possible and probable.

Singapore, here I come!

Just so if you noticed, the tagline of danielliew.com has been changed. This time I have chosen three keywords for this blog. It reads Serenity, Courage and Difference. Forget about the previous tagline As It Is. Okay, I am back to my usual business - research, blogging and church activities.

Not much to cover the two days event of the Second Annual Malaysian Student Leaders Summit (MSLS). There are a few patches (research) to catch up for this week, hence please remain patience while I try to put my thoughts down on this blog. I know some of you like reading and the fact that I write boring stuffs might turn some faithful readers off.

One thing for sure, I can’t yet say my perception has totally changed but somehow after the event I have gained a better perception about some national issues. Elites, I would use to describe the participants who attended MSLS. I will just leave the rest in the next few post.

Back to the tagline, as defined in Oxford Dictionary, the three words means:

Serenity (noun): calm and peaceful.
Courage (noun): the ability to do something dangerous, or to face pain or opposition, without showing fear.
Difference (noun): the way in which somebody or something has changed.

These three words were derived from Reinhold Niebuhr, a Protestant theologian best known for his study of the task of relating the Christian faith to the realities of modern politics and diplomacy. He said this, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

There is a reason as to why I chose this quote. You will get to know why in my next post (it’s still in draft mode).

My voracious appetite grew to a point that I bought two books from MPH for my reading pleasure. One of my friends recommended me the title Tuesdays With Morrie by Mitch Albom. The other book I bought was The Last Lecture of Randy Pausch. I saw a short video clip of Prof Randy Paush from YouTube the other day. I thought the lecture was good so I bought his book.

Just something to add to the new tagline, I want to stress that this blog will still remain a personal blog - it will be a place where I share not so much about who I am but my views on matters. I am moving away from revealing the tits and bits of my life, will focus on jotting down some of my experience, encounters and views instead. That’s the direction I have set.

Dear beloved friends,

Kesulitan hari ini adalah untuk kebaikan masa depan.

If you are reading this, it means that the unexpected and sudden decision to switch to another server has completed, hence you are now able to access my site. As of noon, danielliew.com was being transferred to another new server. My host adviced me that this server switch will take at most 24 hours should there be any major glitches. However, the switch was smooth and pleasant, most of all it took only a while to transfer.

All my posts, comments and uploads are all intact. However, the categories are somewhat lost which is very unsual to happen. Give me some time to assigned the categories.

With this switch, I hope that there won’t be any glitches or any untoward disappointment when you visit my site. Thank you so much for your patron. I am beginning to love my host although it had given numerous headaches.

Regards,
Daniel
