Youtube And Advertisement

-
I'm kind of a big fan of youtube. Not so many of my friend enjoy youtube as I do. I enjoy it much with my TMnet streamyx 4mb package. Lots of people said the connection sucks but as long as I can watch youtube without waiting for buffering and play my xbox live, I'm good with it.

When people busy logging into the internet and check their facebook status, I log into the internet to watch new video from my subscribe channel. I enjoyed watching Smosh, Nigahiga, Ray william johnson, Wongfu, some science channel, cooking channel, and a lot more in youtube. I believe that youtube is kind of a TV for me. Almost everything including commercial I can watch with a click.

The best thing is you can choose whatever you want to watch and there is no waiting for a commercial to end like in the television. ... Wait.. Is it?

Recently I found some disturbing changes in youtube. I don't mind youtube sticking a few ads here and there inside their page but this time I'm really disappointed because youtube put an advertisement video for every video that I click.

There is a button that you can click to skip the ads but you have to wait like 5 seconds before that button appear. Means you still have to wait 5 seconds before you can watch your clicked video. 5 seconds is such a waste of time for me.

What is wrong with youtube? Isn't they had enough money from the conventional ads they use to have? Why must they interrupt my initial 5 seconds and force me to click second time to skip the ads? I hate it so much.

I believe google keeps their page looks less advertising by selling keywords and keep everything simple. That is what people like about google. I thought youtube is under google now and why youtube can't find better way to sell their ads? Not stealing 5 seconds from their users.


So disappointed with youtube. I hope that they find a better solution to sell their ads. If it maintain like this, I may let youtube go in the future.

    I was annoyed by the short ads on the opening of the video in youtube. It reminds me of megaupload video. I guess YouTube marketing is getting more and more responsive lately so they decided to do so but the good part of YouTube now is that they had launch it in Malaysia and so I'm sure more and more local Youtubers will rise up and try to earn a living out of the ads revenue :)

    Yeah. Sure. Launch in Malaysia. The worst part is after it was launch in Malaysia, when you click the link Popular which supposed to bring you to the popular video today and all it has there is Malaysian political video. Ucapan anwar lah, protest israel lah. Ala..so annoying.

Becoming a medical officer in Malaysia: Are you still a real doctor?

-
To recap from my previous post, a person must completed 5-6 years study in medical school, pass their professional exam, enter 2 years house officer training program, pass their exam and completed their logbooks, then a person can now be called a fully registered Medical Officer / Medical Doctor. A Journey of a Junior Medical Officer After 7 or 8 years experience, a house officer will be given a full registration under Malaysian Medical Council. This registration process is a lengthy process which takes up months before it will be completed. Most doctors will apply for full registration 4 months before they finish their house officer training program. The registration will be processed only if all the criteria has been fulfilled by the house officer which includes log book, review by a board of specialist, no disciplinary action recorded, and other paper work stuff that need to be settled. A full registration means that the doctor now can practice as a doctor independently. They ca

What Went Wrong With Malaysia Vaccination Program?

-
Even though it was obvious but no one dare to admit that Malaysia's vaccination program has so many flaws that make it look like a joke. Every where in the world, COVID-19 was still causing outbreak from time to time but they were already planning an exit strategy. Here in Malaysia, we are still in 2020 phase. We are still in the middle of the pandemic, and not the end of it. Not only Malaysia, but almost all South East Asian country excluding Singapore were doing work at a speed of snail. Slow, unsteady and full of bureaucracy.  The talk of vaccinating the whole world started since last year. Some countries started to vaccinate their citizen as early as October 2020. By the end of 2020, vaccine is the only way out of the pandemic.  In Malaysia, the talk of bringing in the vaccine into this county, sound like a mega plan bigger than sending our citizen to Mars. It was hype! We were so hopeful. For the first time, we praised our politician who act like they were in charge and they w
