A nineteen year old guy.

The name is Muhammad Hakim bin Rahim. Some would call me by my name or my schoolmates would just call me Hak. Haksmic is just a name I came up with while trying to fuse the word orgasmic/sarcasm to my name (I just like playing around with words). Born on the eight of August nineteen-eighty-eight, I’m born a left-hander. Well maybe I’m not. Or whatever. I’m just a left hander. So don’t be so surprised to see me writing using my left hand?

Life’s complicated. So do not ask.

You want to know me more. Here it is. If you happened to drop by to this site, well hello then. This wordpress.com blog is more of my private life and is shared with the closed ones. It will be more about me. A little in depth of happenings in my life to be shared to people close to me and whom I trust. Be open-minded to this ever-changing world.

You could try asking for the password by e-mailing to me or leaving a comment on my post with your email but I’m sorry if I did not share with you the password but you just have to respect my privacy. It’s good enough that I shared with you this site but again, apologies if there’s more “Protected:” entries than public entries.

Currently, I’m still schooling in SP; studying for a Diploma in Multimedia Technology. Used to work ButtCheeks Inc. (a bikini shop) as a Freelance Graphics Designer cum Visual Communicator. If you’re familiar to this bikini shop located at the cathay, the packaging (that comes in a shape of a chinese takeaway box) was designed by me, and the shop’s litebox and a few of their Buttcheeks merchandise was done up by me too. Attached to GameAxis Magazine, Hardwarezone as a Graphic Design intern in which my stuffs were out in July - September 2007 issues. You know, people do have dreams on what they want to become in the future.

This wordpress consist of more words than photos. An expression of myself. Penning down my thoughts.

FAQs

Q: How do you pronounce “Haksmic”?

A:
Laughs out loud. Sorry. Some would pronounce it as “Hak’s Mike“.
Please, the name doesn’t mean “my microphone” or whatever. It’s just that I love playing around with word. It started from Hak then on to Hak’sm then I feel like changing to something rhyming with orgasm/orgasmic thus the word “Haksmic“.

So, pronouncing Haksmic is similar to pronouncing orgasmic.
Meaning it’s “Hak-ess-meek “.

Q: I’ve left comments on your entries. Did you reply?

A:
Yes of course I will reply to you! And if you’re wondering where I will reply, I will not make entries just for replies to people la horh. I will reply to you on the same entries you commented on. Just check up on the entries you’ve commented on once a while, cause I shall reply. Apologies for not having tagboards anymore.

Q: Why the change of blogs? It’s irritating to keep up with your ever-changing blogs know…

A:
The change of blogs is because I don’t want irritants to read my blog and keep up with my life secretly. This will include bitches I hate and also relatives who could gossip alot. And I come to realise that, hey it’s my life. And why do people really give a damn about my life? So this is like for my closed friends and friends whom I could trust or so and those I know in the world of blogs.

This blog is more private. And yes, it’s about my life. So if you’re not interested, close this window then.

Ouh if it’s hard for you to remember this URL for whatever reason,

In my haksmic.blogspot, click on the blue area there. That invisible hotspot will link you to this site.

Q: Why are there password-protected entries?

A:
Firstly, if it’s not kind of common sensical for you, it’s cause it’s private, just for me to read, DUH. But I’m like sorry if there are more password-protected entries. It’s passworded for a reason. You can try asking me for the password but don’t be heartbreaken if you’re not authorised to have it. ‘Cause only really really close friends are permitted to it. Just respect my decision ok.
I know sometimes it’s abit the irritating to have lots of entries that you can’t read. You just have to bear with it.

Q: Why do you keep telling us to download Mozilla Firefox?

A:
You think I’ve got nothing better to do to ask people to download useless stuffs?
Seriously, Firefox or other browsers are better than Internet Explorer. Tired of Pop-up Ads? Firefox can prevent such stuffs. Upon coming to my site using IE browser, do you see any sidebar? If it’s at the bottom of the blog, you should really download Firefox.
Cause it’s called a sidebar cause it’s placed at the side.
Just so happen that the coders for this template did not make it IE browser-compatible too.

Q: I love the layout of your blog. And I wish to open up a wordpress account. How can I do that?

A:
Ok, I shall enlighten you.
Just type “http://wordpress.com” and from there, sign up okay.
And poof, you get yourself a wordpress blog.

Q: I kept up with your previous blogs last time and it was more enjoyable, equipped with amusing visual aids. This blog of yours seem to be lacking that factor. Why is that so?

A:
Hmm.. As I’ve said, this blog of mine is more about me, not more about entertaining people. I will try to put up pictures often so that you guys won’t be bored reading chunks of text. It’s ok if you people hate reading this blog. Cuz I’m just penning down my thoughts. But if you’re here, please enlighten me by adding comments. Cuz when I look at the statistics of readers reading this blog each day, I’m scratching my head.

And usually last time, I would “watermark” my pictures, but I find it a waste of time now. And it gets irritating. But please if it’s MY designs, please make an effort to inform me or ask me if you can take it.

Q: I understand that you have another blog, haksmic-design.blogspot? What’s that for? To create some revenue for yourself?

A:
First of all, yes there another blog I’ve set up. It is my personal online portfolio where I will put some of my designs up once in a while. Meaning it’s just a collection of my past/upcoming designs up online. So that if I lost these works somehow, I can refer to it here.

Second of all, there isn’t any commercial intention in setting that one up. I know I’m an amateur myself. And there’s more to improve on. So, selling stuffs off using that blog, not for now.

Q: You smoke, does that mean you’re bad?

A:
If you’ve ever thought of that, that would mean you’re very very narrow-minded and very very stereotypical. And even to think up of that question, you shouldn’t be reading this blog then.

Hmm, I smoke. And oh my gawsh, I got myself in a top 20 position in my course. So does that mean that people who smoke are bad fooking people? Fashion designers smoke, yet they can come up with ridiculously great design. Executives smoke, yet they earn big bucks. Software developers smoke, yet they produce great works. People in the entertainment industry smoke, yet they are great at what they’re doing. Still not catching any balls? It’s a lifestyle. And it depends on the individual.

People relate smokers to being in gangs, mixing in bad company and stuffs. All influenced by the great powers of mass media. Please, you’re just too narrow-minded.

Ok, so I’m trying to cut down smoking. And so far I’m not sure if it’s a NATO (No action talk only) thing. Trying to be social smoker first. And I’ve made a pact with my best friend that we would quit smoking at the age of 19.

Q: Can I get to know you more?

A:
Err. Ok. But just email me la. Or look at my friendster first or what. Abit the weird if you just tell me like that.
