Well, well, well... I see you are interested to know the Mask Magician better eh? As you can see at the pic shown on the left, that's the Mask Magician without his mask. Huhuhu! Owh, I hope you guys ain't expecting to read my profile in owh-so-normal kinda style where they kinda go like this (Name: Raydcza Schaphyque). Knowing people better ain't always about knowing what are their favourites and whatsoever. To me, its all matters of understanding how they think about something, knowing how they react upon situations and helping me to ponder,

why I like them as my friends. The fact is, you can never find a friend who totally satisfy you except THE MAN IN THE MIRROR. If it happens that u did find one, GOOD but I don't really care actually. Friends shape my personality with many shapes and color my life with different colors. Those definitely are some of the reasons of having them by my side.

   I guess, you guys should have understand what I'm trying to say by now. So, let me proceed with what I wanna actually write in this section. Upon reaching this website, I think that most of you guys have known me, Redza Shafique Bin Md. Ridzuan aka Raydcza (since 1998), mutant_cell (since 2001-now) and cyber_mind_is. Those are some of my nicks since my early days wandering around the net. It all started in 1998 where internet chatting was a craze among my schoolmates. Nope, back then, we don't even ever heard about mIRC. We used to chat via Alamak(not sure whether they are still around providing Java chats). Even surfing for 1 hour costs us RM 5. Yeah, technology is expensive (if you haven't realize that by now). My history of website-making also started during that "era". Paid my Guru, Mr. Rahmat a good RM 3 to get a lesson of HTML just by using Notepad. Well, that was a darn good long-term investment I made. Since I was so into HTML, I made myself learn Microsoft Frontpage, Netscape Composer and Macromedia Dreamweaver all by myself. HTML is definitely an interesting language. Er, C++ too. Huhuhuh.

   Aye! Still keep on reading? GOOD! Let me continue educating you then. \(^O^)/ I'm a talkative person, I really am. That explains why I write alot here. Really love to explain things so that people don't get the wrong idea of what I was thinking or doing. So far, I did well in doing so.. I guess. Some said that a knowledgable person don't talk too much. Well, I'm trying to prove them wrong. Help me, will you? A knowledgable person musn't keep his knowledge just for himself. But if he talks rubbish too much, please do the honour to STOP HIM, okay?

   Where do I stand regarding many facilities provided in the Internet? Well, I'm referring to all those services from emails to picture sharing, from chatrooms to blogs/ online journals. To me, the idea is simple. ONLY USE THE FACILITIES THAT I CAN'T MANAGE TO MAKE MY OWN. Those gonna be like emails, chatrooms and especially webspace. These kinda facilities really exceed my knowledge in IT as I admit that I need to gain more experience to understand their mechanism as time goes by. For the time being, I'm trying to challenge my HTML understandings, ASP knowledge and Adobe Photoshop graphic manipulation abilities. I'm fully convinced that I'm better in all stated challenges compared to last 2 weeks. Yet, thirst for more. Completing my DCS ( Diploma in Computer Science) years really has given me the exposure within the IT industry. Having friends from different walks of life also provides me some clues of how people see IT in different perspectives. Thus, reflects how they apply IT knowledge in their life. A very interesting discovery, I might say.

   "Losers are no choosers". This gonna be the best quote to motivate me in my life. Md. Ridzuan Bin Md. Taib, the man who quoted it, my dad. The quote is so true, right? As you can see, if you lose in any kinda betting game, you will end up going back home with an empty pocket.On the other hand, if you win, you can choose what to do with your money. By applying the idea in life, I'm trying to live my life with many options to choose from. Hopefully, it will never gonna be a hectic one.

   If you manage to read until this sentence, I'm really gonna admire you as you really are one hell of a reader. If I were you, I'll be long dreaming before reading till "the man the the mirror". Huhuhu. I don't think that I have much to write anymore. After this, it's all about knowing me in real life. Just keep in mind, interaction and communication is the best method to know a person better.
