It’s time to go
To cut things short, Taufiqology is closing. Yes, it is. After two strong years, it’s time to pack it all up. But please don’t see it as a bad thing. In fact, it’s good.
Now, you must be going… “WTF! You call closing the (sarcasm starts here) most wonderful, entertaining, funny, informative blog in the whole wide universe (ends here) a GOOD THING??”
Yes, it is a good thing. You see, you don’t know how hard it is to type up a whole post, every single day, and talk about stuff. Plus, most bloggers would want a “profit” from all that hard work, like a strong readership base or something similar.
As the year goes on, I’m getting busier and busier with more and more homework. So that leaves me less time for blogging. Even though I’m closing Taufiqology, it does not mean I’m giving up on blogging. In fact I’m continuing to blog, but in a different style (more on that later)… and of course, a brand spankin’ new site.
Introducing taufiq.tumblr.com. This will be my new home on the internet from now on. Basically, I’m bringing everything back down to the basics. Simple yet elegant, one column design and no fancy stuff. Now comes the fun bit. Remember I was talking about the new blogging style. Well, the main content features a mix mash of everything on the internet as well as the stuff I see and hear everyday. Basically you’ll get text, pictures, quotes, links, dialogues, audio, video and all things nice. This is called Tumble Blogging.
Here’s Jason Kottke’s description of a tumblelog:
A tumblelog is a quick and dirty stream of consciousness, a bit like a remaindered links style linklog but with more than just links. They remind me of an older style of blogging, back when people did sites by hand, before Movable Type made post titles all but mandatory, blog entries turned into short magazine articles, and posts belonged to a conversation distributed throughout the entire blogosphere. Tumblelogs are with minimal commentary, little cross-blog chatter, the barest whiff of a finished published work, almost pure editing…really just a way to quickly publish the “stuff” that you run across every day on the web.
Because it’s mixed media, I tend to post more frequently and shorter but at the same time, interesting bits from all around the web and my life. Plus, this way, it’s easier to follow and read too.
And that’s basically all what the new site’s about. Told you there’s nothing fancy! And I bet you’re gonna like it.
I’m leaving this site and every single post online just for the memories, but everything new is at the new site. This is officially the last post on Taufiqology. Hope to see you at my new place!
It’ll be sad to see this place close down,
But I like your new blog too <333
ok where do i put comments on your Tumbler site?
Hmmm since you’re bored… can you help me design my blogger template, please? Please please pretty plreaseeeeeeeeeee
Sorry Jus, There is no comment feature on the new blog, but I might be installing one soon in the near future so, look out for it!
And yeah, I’d be happy to help you design a new Blogger template.
Taufik, Assalamualaikum.
I am Pak Long, the father of Julissa and your Dad’s brother in law.
I have clipped my comment in the original juice below spaecially for you, as a kind of tribute, coz you do take time to read and response to her blog. that’s nice.
But the main thing I wanted to drive you younger generation is, to live the original life we were expected to, that is, as the khalifah of ALLAH on Earth. That means we must lead the world to live a safer life, a more meaningful life and the best of life on Earth.
Entertainment and desire as mentioned in the vesrse below are only adornment of life. It will all perish, but not our good deeds for ALLAH will follow us into our graves and then into Paradise.
Internet and blog are also adronemnt to make this life a little bit interesting. We can benefit them, but that is not everything in this world. Millions of people still live happily without, internet, without blog, no computers, no electronics, no handphone. no money no food no many other things….
Let us give more praise to ALLAH.
“Yeah Juice, Taufik is helping you, but not the political situation. u know we are a small island. so there has to be some control over google or else goog will probably marked all our important and defense location and that will drown our island’s safety.
Anyway, my point is that, you guys never learn from me. So sad my little princess do not honour my view of life.
Ive been telling you guys internet cannot slove all your problems.
When going driving to such remote and new places you should have refereffered to the Street Directory I have bought for you guys at home.
Internet only give you a narrow view, but, with the actual Street Directory Mapbook, you can see the overall view.
Even google virtual will not help you to reache a new place. It only helps you find places that u are quite familiar.
Whatever, preparation u’ve made was good, but u have to rely modst importantly for guidance from ALLAH.
ALLAH says in the Quran, Chapter 7 Al-Araf Verse 26,
“O children of Adam, We have bestowed raiment upon you to cover yourselves and as adornment, and the raiment of rigtheousness is better. Such are among the signs and lessons to the greatness of ALLAH.”
I also admire your new blog (tumbler). It is named from Tupperware Tumbler Co.? Yeah 2 nights ago I wal also searching for an icon to click my respone and comments, but, nearly one hour I was searching, and so much that I saw your recent photos with your friends.
Are they your Singapore friends whenyou were schooling here.?
Did they bring you out from your boringness.?
Yeah…like daughter like father. I also would like to ask if you can design a blog for me too.
Give it a title “adiekosongtiga” with a bright yellow background, if applicable. If not a white one like your ‘down to basic’ tumbler also can-lah.
But got to let me know how to update and post photos etc..
Anyway my princess can teach me also…right Jussy..?
At this moment, I am searching for you email address…to keep in my mailing list. If possible, can you also forward me Akil, Nadia, your mom and Dad’s email address too…?,
I am closinh with another verse from the Holy Quran, Chapter 28 Shaad, verse 41 to 54.
“Remember Job (Nabi Aiyub)? When he called to his God, ‘I was stroke by the satan with difficulties and pain (sickness).’”
ALLAH said to him (Job), “Step on the Earth with your feet. A spring sprout from the place. Job bathed with the water and drink it too, then his sickness was cured.
WE (ALLAH), give him a new family as the one he lost, as OUR blessing and as a sign for the people who think.
Take a handful of stick and then beat yoiur wife with it, and you will be released from your spell. WE witnesses that Aiyub is a very patient man. He always repent.
Remember also OUR servants Ibrahim, Ishaq and Ya’qub, who had the strength and vision.
WE purified them that they always remember the Akhirat (Hereafter and Day of Judgement).
They are among OUR selected servants.
Remember Ismail, Ilyasa’ and Zulkifli, all of them are good people.
This is just a remembrance of good people who will return to a blissful place of return.
That is the Paradise of Aden, with its doors wide open. They will recline in it while they were served with plentiful of fruits and drinks.
They will have young and beautiful wives by their sides.
This are OUR promises for you in the Day of Judgment..
And these are OUR provisions that will never finish or end.
Assalamualaikum
Peace be upon you

Taufiq…it is too fast isn’t it now is 8 Dec soon will be Jan then feb and soon after that will come Perth again again.
Well that life—–a cycle then recycle and bicycle and finally motocycle. Motorcyle becos at senior golden age we will ride the motorized wheelchair.
Is that all life is all about. Be born, then learn, carrier, married, children, grandchilren and then become golden ripe and finally die. Is that all life has got to offer us…?
Guess you know the answer right….!!!!
Life is from God. HE has created life and us all. So to HIM we must reflect the purpose of life. Many people don’t like to talk about this. Some are scared to the bone.
Death is a natural phenomena. No need to fear.
But we must prepare ourselves for death. Coz after death there no more return to make corrections…etc…
Therefore let us live this life the best of it by following the guidance from ALLAH and learn about life from the Quran and follow the footsteps of the successful life of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him.
I’m still disappointed…we never met but I browsed this place occasionally.
