About

2007-09-24T10:51:00.001-07:00

Welcome to Immortal Wisdom - a blog where friends visitting will contribute ideas and their wisdom on the matters presented.

My name is Mohamad Zaki, However I am called by both family and friend by the nick banji. For more information on me, you can read it here :) Nice to know you.

About the blog

1) History

This is a very new blog and it is still in its growing phase. It was started May 2007 with the intention of jotting down any ideas and thought I have. In time, I make a lot of good friends and they are more than happy to share their word of advice and experience for the benefit of us all. So I humbly invited you to join in and together we can help each other

2) Why it's named Immortal Wisdom?

Immortal Wisdom is named simply because I am a big fan of the idea of immortality. Knowing we can never achieve it, I try to immortalize all wisdom, lesson, ideas and experience here. Hopefully we can learn from each other and never repeat the same mistake again.

Imagine an old man of 80 share all his wisdom in a book, and we read through it in 2 hours. It is my belief we had actually live an 80 years of wisdom within the two hours. Now imagine thousands of people share their wisdom...

3) What's its strongest point?
This is the comments I received from my friends when I ask for their honest opinion on the website.

However, it miss out the most strongest point of this blog, which is them (the friends visitting). They are the most important for me for their participation and their friendship. For that I thank them.

Also useful if you’d like to comment on any posts at Immortal Wisdom is the Disclaimer

I really hope you enjoy reading Immortal Wisdom as I enjoy writing them :)

6 Weirdest Things About Me

2007-07-25T16:50:00.000-07:00

Tag from Archmal

"People who are tagged should write a blog post of 6 weird things about them as well as state these rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose 6 people to be tagged and list their names at the bottom of your post. Don't forget to leave a comment that says 'you are tagged' in their comments and tell them to read your blog"

6 Things Weird About Me

1) I would say my mind is an organized chaos. There will always a system of organization in my mind however chaotic the condition looks like. Simple example to illustrate, hundreds of things to do and nothing is jotted down, but still I will be able to do them ALL by the end of the day (usually it's by the end of the week hehe)

2) I prefer not to eat fish, because too lazy to sort out the bones

3) I am able to sleep almost instaneously, provided no distraction of course.

4) I like to remember every details of my life. Every memory. Simply put, when I am about to die, I will be able to remember what I did from 1977 to **** :) Hopefully no regret

5) What ever I do, I will somehow get passionate about it, and thus will try my hardest to do it perfectly. From Silat, Sepakraga, Internet, Blogging etc. All this started simply for the sake of doing something. It turns out, I really enjoy them :)

6) One thing that can upset me immediately is people who like to make fun of other people and consider it as "gurau" but when the same thing done on them, they just won't accept it

People I want to tag - Nobody, the tag end here

The tags were done to appreciate those who think of me when tagging. It really means a lot and I thank you for that.

But I choose not to tag anyone, not because I don't appreciate my friends. It's just that I'm not that comfortable forcing people to do something. So if you want to continue the tag, by all means.
