Felt depressed today really. Was shoot by a old bird this evening just before I was about to go home. I try to seek help from him to understand about some plug-in features but I guessed I am just wasn't good enough to talk to him about programming yet. So boring ... Whatever we learnt in school were like probably one tenth of what you gonna face in real working life I guessed. Hope it just applied to me. There is this protocol where the whole team of mine dont really know and my boss tasked me to go and implement it. Wow! Headache... I have been reading documents, going through codes which is written by others hoping to find out what is it all about. Not only that, there is alot of services involved, like database, some authentication service blah blah blah... Headache sia! I really hope someone can shine some light on me although this old bird is cruel with his words, he has been the one who has tried to make some sense in the codes I am reading...

His words were hurting but it's true ... I just need to buck up perhaps ...
Come to think of that, I am just 1 week old in the company... What wonders can I do really? ...

Awww... feels so bad, so lost and so depressed ...

Can someone save me ...



Time for me to face Eclipse...

Previously, I kept using basic IDE like JCreator while missing out on using Eclipse and now I need to get myself to familiarise with the application soon so I can program a API out. It's cool but I think I need to take quite some time to explore it independently. Pray hard that my brain can process it fast.


I also didn't manage to get my shoes from RiverIsland because there is no sales for the shoes I wanted. Sobsob! The male section literally has no discount at all except a cluster of shoes. It is so pathetic. I wonder how is the situation at other outlets. Hmmm


My ankle has been slowly recovering I hope. Mummy gave me a plaster to paste on the ankle part. It feels quite good, has a cooling effect and it restrain my ankle movement. This stack of plasters is bought from a physician in Korea. I hope it helps because I cant wait to play soccer!


My mind are tired now but I hope I can overcome this obstacle that I am facing and become a better person or rather a better programmer. Hope I can succeed...


Sleeping with a worried mind tonight ...


12 October 2009

What a Saturday? I woke up quite early, almost like the same time I need to for work. It's boring to know that I had to attend a soccer match to support my company. But I think since my boss is so nice to me, I should try to do him a favour at least. I was late for the match though. It started at 0830hrs but I was there at about 1000hrs. I saw my colleague who is already there and I met my boss. He did not question me why I was late but he welcome me instead. I was surprised.

I was there for quite a while until about noon before I went to buy a non-camera phone from a online person. I was abit shocked when I saw the person. She looked like a "he" and there is tattoos all over her. We did not speak much and I went ahead to view the phone. The phone was in good condition, despite several non-obvious scratches that I can forego. It was bought in May and probably left about 7 months on the warranty. I paid her $250 for the extinct phone which is still very much in demand. Nokia has stopped its production and currently, it's few competitors only left Sony Ericsson G700 and HTC Snap. I was not interested in G700 which cost about $280 w/out plan, probably due to its design and for Snap, it was rather too expensive at the price of $398 with a Starhub plan.

Here's the picture of the phone Nokia E51:




This phone is quite similar to the Nokia E63 I was using earlier but have to give up due to the nature of my job. Perhaps I have to pass my nice phone to my cake to use haha. I have been using and loving the Nokia E51 after I got the phone. Maybe it is really the right phone for me.

I had a long day, after which I left to meet cake for shopping after getting the phone. We went Bencoolen to get her dream watch.

French Connection Watch:



This is just the only picture that resembles her watch but however, the watch itself really look alot more fashionable, classy and appealing of what it may seem on the picture itself. We manage to get 30% off for the watch from that shop by the name of WIN something .. lol which in coincidence is my nickname haha.

I had a great time walking around with her. Ate dim sum at Sunshine Plaza, but unfortunately, the dim sum is not so nice as she said. Perhaps my requirements are too high. Some like the fried prawn dumpling and the steam carrot cake still do taste very nice too but the rest is so so only.

By 2200hrs, she companied me to dash into BHG @ Bugis to look for my "type" of wallet, slim, hard cover and nice and we found one new Pierre Cardin wallet which looks wow but it costs slightly more expensive with a price tag of $73 I guessed. Hmm got to reconsider my choice or wait for sale bah.

Heard from cake that her friend said there is a Riverisland sales on in October. It has already started and so I was hoping that I can go there sometime after work tomorrow to look for the shoes I wanted hehe. *Pray hard I can get a good deal there.

Good night!

Hello everyone, I have just ended my day of work. Surprisingly, my colleagues at work are very nice, easy going and outspoken. Almost the entire office is filled with friendly people. Till now, I have not met anyone nasty and hopefully, I would not be meeting such a person.

For now, I did not want to think much, but to work hard and be a friendly person. Those it seems alot different from what we will be doing in school, but I am confident I can contribute to my team. There is alot to pick up actually, so I have to keep on going to google and wikipedia to do my research. Some terms are really out of my dictionary and some really looked alien to me.

I had a great lunch today as I tagged along with Rino and his team to lunch. They brought me to a nearby coffeeshop, which they actually want to take the shutter bus to but I think the 10 minutes walk is fine to do with. And we actually took the shutter bus back. It's free of charge. The food at the coffeeshop was nicer than our canteen at least.

Well tell you all something weird, and that is ... My project team do not actually eat together. They are all split up into different clicks, do not even dine with me. So sad. I end up have to find my colleague who joined the company with me. Hahas! Luckily, one of my team volunteer to jio the rest of the team for lunch tomorrow. Well, let's see what happens tomorrow.

Now, I am still currently look out for a reliable non-camera phone. Sianz, Nokia E51 out of stock. AM I REALLY GOING TO BUY NOKIA 1661? ...



123456 the easiest password, but I would still prefer "password" as password lol!
Well for tech savvy people like us, I doubt anyone of my kakis will use this kuku password right?

Quoted from HWZ:

Just days ago, it was revealed that thousands of Gmail, Hotmail, and Yahoo account IDs and passwords were leaked. A researcher has studied 10,000 of these accounts and passwords and concluded that the most commonly used password was 123456 and that a staggering 20% of users only used a password that was six characters long. Only 6% of users were savvy enough to use mixed alpha-numeric passwords.

I was mildly injured with a slight ankle pain since 2 weeks ago but I did not know when I visited the Chinese Medical Clinic this evening, I will get a huge surprise! They wrapped my ankle into a huge bundle. Haha! It was so huge that I had to walk barefooted on the left while carrying my bag and the leftover shoes. I hopped slightly to reach the edge of the road to wait for a cab. Luckily, a cab popped by in a short time. So awkward as everyone has their eyes on my foot. When I alighted the cab, I saw my mummy. She thought what had happened to me! Haha!

Here are some photos:








Wow so serious ah? I wonder if I am one of the victims...

Quoted from HWZ:

According to the BBC News, two lists, containing more than 30,000 of AOL, Google, Hotmail and Yahoo account IDs and their passwords have been leaked. The users are thought to be victims of phishing schemes. But the worst has yet to come, as Google has said that it has found a third list of account IDs and passwords and more could be coming.

Hello everyone, this is going to be 3rd day at work today in a few hours time. Just finished watching "Chao Ji Xin Guang Da Dao" introduced by my cake. I began loving the show alot, enjoy the feelings of each singer. My idol is the ever cute guy Sun Zhi You ! hahas..!! Not because i'm g** but rather because he is a very true person and he got a special vocal.

My work have been fine for these two days. I feel that my boss and colleagues are very easy-going. Hopefully I will get to know them more in time to come. My first day got introduced to the project i will be involved in, and in depth knowledge by my TL. Today managed to get a new laptop and install alot of softwares. Probably i will get to experience the program by tomorrow.

One thing troublesome is, i have not got a seat yet! Due to the lack of space, i am currently a wanderer, popping by any available seats.

Today, i talked to a few of my colleagues and got to know them more. I also talked to the new colleague who joined on the same day as me, his name is Rino. Very interesting name!!! My ex colleague Dennis who is also in the same company, asked me for lunch as i got no one to lunch with. Still not very close with my team yet lo. He brought me to all the buildings and told me what they have, where are all the stuff etc. Cool man!!! Really got to thank him hahas.

Gotto sleep now, hope tomorrow is a better day =) Nights!

Yeah man, I am officially going to be a Software Engineer on 5th October 2009. This day mark my first real full time job with a real pay. But however, I do not feel the excitement really.. After talking to LL who is already employed by them, I do not feel so good. I heard that she has been tasked with alot of tough chores but I do hope she can pass those tests and excel in the process. JC is also quite busy with work I guessed. That makes me wonder if I made the right choice. Well I can no longer hesitate as I am officially employed already and yeah, work starts on 5th.

Seriously, till now I have not gotten a NON-CAMERA phone yet. Still deciding between a Nokia 1661 or Nokia 5030 because they are within the affordable range. Was thinking about Nokia E51 but it has sold out. The Sony Ericsson phone G700 was expensive and not good either. Then I read review about Nokia 5030 having hard buttons, not good for smsing so I think my conclusion is to get a Nokia 1661. Hope it is not that bad. I am going to part with my SE K810i because it is getting worse lately, guess I am going to trade it in to exchange for the phone so I need not pay any cent.

For the past 2 months, I have been working at my IT Helpdesk Full Time while looking for a job. Previously, I thought it is very simple to get a job but now after finding for a long time (2 months), I decided that it is not that easy actually.

First thing, you got to know what you are looking for, which field eg. IT Security Consultant, Software Engineer, Network Engineer, System Engineer, System/IT Analyst. There are simply too many choices available.

Graduates like me just apply for any suitable post and wait for the employers or agents to bombard you with questions like eg. What do you understand about the position? What do you see yourself in 5 years time? What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Some even surprise you with a technical paper to test your technical knowledge, or maybe an online quiz to test you in specific field like LINUX, System Security etc.

Well, it is really so hard... To be frank, there was no easy night before the interview each time I got called up. I usually do last minute read up of my notes to see if I can accidentally "cover" certain topics which will be tested. Most of the time, I do not sleep well the night before and after each interview, I would feel really relieve.

I guess after so much, the most important thing is to set a target for yourself, knowing what position will you be interested in, knowing what positions will be suited for you is another thing. If you really got no idea, the best way is to get a job first, start working for some time before you realise if it is your cup of tea.

Lastly, good luck to you my friends :)



I was walking around NTUC to hunt for sweet when I saw these lovely care bears. Well I think girls surely like these bears like my cake does. So I took some photos for her to see. Recently I have just bought one for her so I decided not to spend on another. When she looked at the photo, she said the bears' head are bigger than the one she has. Diaox!

Here are some photos:















Last week, cake and me went Botak Jones at youth park across Cineleisure for western. Found a new item which is Black Pepper Chicken. Cake stick with Fish & Chips while I ate the chicken. It was tasty, with the coleslaw, potato salad and fries. However, it was not as big portion as it was previously.

Here are the photos:





In july, me and cake went to a new restaurant at Suntec City Fountain area. It was a place with good ambience and most importantly really tasty food. We had one pot of double boiled soup, fragrant rice wrapped in Lotus Leaf and tried one of their dim sum. It tasted fabulous! The portion for the soup and fragrant rice is for 2-3 pax but when we tried, I think it can accommodate up to 4 pax maybe.

You may check out their menu @ http://tangdianwang.com.sg

Here are some photos:








My brother brought us all out to celebrate the parents' day and papa's birthday. He treat us Tung Lok Dim Sum which tasted wow!








It is my cousin wedding in KL yeah. Although it is an simple one, I really love their photos, too bad I cant scan it for you all to see. Perhaps someday, when you decided to get marry, you can go KL and seek for a cheap and good alternative to shoot beautiful wedding pictures. I really love their album alot, very innovative. It looked more like a magazine in hard cover. Maybe that can inspire you people when decide to step on the red carpet.

His brother Gary who is also my cousin, was so happy to drink the tea serve by the couple that he cant help smiling all day long haha. Surprisingly, they do not have the hobby of taking photo for such an occasion. So I offered to be their makeshift photographer using my phone camera SE K810i. These are the photo taken with the camera, though it is slightly blur but it do capture the moments of the ceremony haha.

Enjoy the pictures my friends :)
















After my project presentation in July, it was my real holidays. I left for Genting with my dear. It was a great trip with her and I have really enjoy my time with her. It just feel so comfortable to have her companion. The 3D2N stay was a short one but we roam the whole place seeking fun together. Here are some photos which I love very much and I want to share them with you my friends hees :)
