HR

Happy Deepavali people.

Will be conducting interviews today as the company I'm working with is currently taking new staffs. Finally I get assistants (yay!) and I get to choose them. Been reading through guides on how to conduct an interview. Well I'm a programmer by nature, so interaction with human is not my premier quality. But so far working with my current employer, I think I'm more communicative with other people (am I?). Well don't get me wrong, I'm still the quiet person who will not come up with a conversation to someone who I just recently know. Yup I have the tendencies to be very quiet towards someone I'm not familiar with, most probably due to my self-defense attitude heh. But what I know is, I've improved my way to talk to managers and other top position person. Well if you know the trick, you can also give them a piece of your mind and get away with it LOL.

Need to take a bath and go meet my future assistants. Later.


Dad, Happy Birthday.

Long Time No Blog

Blog already filled with spiderwebs LOL. Time for some update on what's going on with my life. I already started with my system installation. So far so good, client has been really co-operative and understanding with the delays we are facing now. I'm trying to make this installation as smooth as possible, and thus the reason why I need the time to thoroughly test each and every single part of the application to the max. Simulating real-life environment is hard when you are doing code works in the office, so with partial-parallel system installation method I can single out problems and sort them out efficiently. Enough with the geek language for now, need all the rest I can have from work.

Raya mood still not over, although it is already nearing to the end. But so far I haven't receive any open-house invitation except one by my school buddy. Either people are too busy, I am too busy or people already forget that I exist LOL. I am also too occupied with my work that I don't have the time to think about Raya celebration anymore. Maybe next year I'll be celebrating Raya again, who knows.

On other note, congrats to Jack (5H) on your wedding 27th of October.

Lately I realize I have been stressed out due to work and life problem. Am thinking to go for 'stress-release' session at any waterfall, but don't know to go with whom. Parid is on outstation duty the full week, Pejai & Azhar already married so kinda weird to ask them whether to go or not. Takkan nak pegi dengan Adi dua orang jek, ghey gile.. Gonna find another way to release out the steam. I was thinking to ask for suggestion from the reader, but seeing that nobody reads my blog (ahaha..) I don't think that's a good idea.

Almost 2 months since I started using my P990i. Overall, I'm satisfied with the phone. I started to familiarize with the operating system, shortcuts etc. Still not using all the functions as I am learning step by step, but based on the experience I don't feel like this is a waste buying. The phone does the job efficiently and on some functions even better than my old phone, so I don't feel regret buying it. This is the priciest phone I bought so far, I think I'll kick myself if I regret buying it LOL. Now, just need to search the way to convert this phone into a car navigation system.

I think that's all for now.

Aidilfitri 2007

Already in KL since Wednesday. Raya was as usual, not too much difference from previous years. Biggest difference was, extra RM1 for 'duit raya' from me for my cousins. Still the same amount for my grandmothers and grandfather as well as my younger brother and sister. But I noticed I didn't feel sad the night where Ramadhan ended. Maybe because I was too occupied thinking about the project I'm handling currently that my mind didn't have the time to think about something else. Nevertheless, the last 'buka puasa' session with my mother's big family was awesome. We made BBQ chickens, stingrays, sausages, seafood steamboat and some 'sate'. Had been given credit because the BBQ foods were prepared by me and they were well cooked hehe.

12-Oct-2007
My brother and I had our 'sahur' at one roadside stall in Temerloh town. We left KL at 0245, with the expectation the road would be clear from traffic jam. Indeed we were wrong. The jam started from before Genting Sempah tunnel up until Bentong Petronas R&R due to people slowing down to stop at the R&R. Road was clear after that, and since we were already late I floored the pedal until Temerloh town. Managed to find a stall but we only ordered hot drinks as our 'sahur' because there was not much time left and there was no food either. Lucky I had some 'kurma' given by my client before in the car. Reached my grandmother's house at 0620. Had our 'subuh' prayer and since all the kids were still awaken, we played with them for a while before crashing into bed. Was awaken by my mom at 1230 for Jumaat prayer. At 1500, started the BBQ process. 1905, last 'buka puasa' for Ramadhan 2007. Then after that, the activity was filled with eating process so not much to be told here.

13-Oct-2007
Raya, what else. Had my breakfast, took a bath and went to mosque for Aidilfitri prayer. Finished everything at 0900, reached home at 0930. 'Salam-salam' and photography session followed until 1030, and then more eating. Departed to Kuala Lipis at 1130, once arrived did the 'salam-salam' session again with my dad's big family. Visit relatives at 1715 until 1830.

14-Oct-2007
'Sesi beraya'.

15-Oct-2007
Off to Jerantut again at 1630. Waited for my grandpa to finish preparing the 'lemang', then only we departed. Reached Jerantut at 2100. 4 hours journey because we stopped here and there to visit relatives (yes I have shitloads of relatives in Pahang especially in Jerantut and Kuala Lipis area).

16-Oct-2007
'Sesi beraya di Jerantut'.

17-Oct-2007
Off to KL at 1130. Arrived at about 1330, me and my brother only. Mom and Dad still at Jerantut. Had our lunch at KFC, how pathetic. Mind started thinking about work.


So, how was your Raya?



[addition]
1. My first Ramadhan where I paid my 'zakat fitrah' by myself. Felt proud because with my not-so-big salary, I didn't feel regret at all to depart with that RM4.70 while there are still people out there who are not willing to deduct the amount from their coffers. (who knows next year I may be paying RM9.40, ahaha.. speculation, speculation..)
2. I forget what's the second point..

Ciao Belle!

Selamat Hari Raya people. I'm shooting off to Pahang in a minute. Drive safely, don't be a statistic. Be back to KL on Wednesday. Ciao.


(earlier yesterday's morning..)
Jim: Khaimi, Lee and me had discussed yesterday. We decided to give you some token of appreciation, but we will put that into your this month's salary la.
K-mie: What token of appreciation? (blur blur..)
Jim: Duit raya la, why you so lambat pickup one?
K-mie: Ooo duit raya ka hahaha. Okay okay, thank you boss.

Change Hurts..

Welcoming a new family member...

Thanks a lot to my old, faithful Nokia 6610. You served me well, and with that you deserve an honorable retirement. You will be well taken care of. Your keypad and casing will be changed to a new one, I'll clean your interior carefully and pair you up with my Celcom simcard (which the number I only give to very few person). Thanks a lot and I believe we will maintain our relationship for a very long time.

P990i, get back to work!!

[addition 07/10/2007 06:50] Been configuring the phone from yesterday until today. So far I've managed to get phone, SMS, Bluetooth and WLAN functions working. But what pisses me off is I can't get the GPRS and MMS functions working. Being a tech-savvy person, I'm quite ashamed that I am to the point have to resolve to calling Maxis and asked about the guide LOL. So far I'm still not giving up yet. Get MMS or die trying :))

[addition 07/10/2007 11:30] Okay, fixed it myself without the help from Maxis. Managed to get the GPRS and MMS working. Next target, 3G simcard ahaha.
