Sept 30th, Fri - the last day..

Yuppp.. It's the last day of my industrial training. Today did nothing much. I tested my program for the last time to ensure it is running properly. Then I started on my final report; which I didn't manage to do much of it. Tonight, or rather early early tomorrow morning (soon to be 12am tomorrow d' ma..) I would be working to finish up my report & also a user guide crap

Boss talked to Thomas & me for awhile about our training.

Okay la.. very lazy to "yakkk" d.. Talk bout lazy. I haven't even go & bath yet... hahahha..

Sept 29th, Thurs - It is ironic that...

...on the second last day of my training, I got to close the office/shop. Cheng went out not long after the shop open. But before he left, he handed over to me a small set of keys & told me to lock it up if he is not back by 7pm. Thanks to Thomas who closed the doors for me.. I don't have that kind of energy to drag that damn door close... So what did I do? I locked it lo.. hahahaa.. Okay.. I am crapping..

So today for my project, I did more "cleaning up" on my codings, updated/enhanced the security system & debugging. See what a lazy ass I am.. Hahaha.. Tomorrow (or maybe later if I have the mood to), I'll be doing the User Guide/Manual; which will be print screen crap alongside with guide(s)/instruction(s)/help(s); which will probably be included into the appendix my final report. I am such a sloth to do things last minute. Sighhh.. :p

*When A Woman Loves A Man*

When the stars are in her eyes
And the sun is in her smile
The only moment in a life
That happens the same time
Is when a woman loves a man

She'll be a mother and a child
Sacrifice her days and nights
And no other will exist
She'll put her life in every kiss
When a woman loves a man

And you'll be amazed how when
You're stumbling
She'll fight for you
And won't let you give in
She'll do all that she can
When a woman loves a man

A soothing breeze always blows
Somebody understands another soul
It's like the planets have aligned
Every sentence has a rhyme
When a woman loves a man

Oh, you'll be amazed how when
You're needing it
She'll fight for you
From the begining to the end
And she'll do all that she can
When a woman loves a man

It's the greatest gift of all
Knowing that unconditionally
She'll catch you when you fall

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oooohh, yeah
When a woman loves a man

When the stars are in her eyes
And the sun is in her smile
She'll be a mother and a child
But all at the same time
When a woman loves a man

She'll be your air
She'll bring you life
She'll make me sacrifice
When a woman loves a man

Sept 26th, Mon - last Monday at work...

Today is my last Monday at work.. Soon after I arrived at work, Cheng ask me to add some attributes to my database tables; which resulting in me having to amend some parts (or rather nearly half) of my project work. The day was spent working on both my work project & personal project (my website).

As I mentioned in the previous post, I was going to make ham + baby corn poridge.. & I did. It's quite okay for me.. (hahaa.. I cook it myself, I can say anything I want la =P). sJ asked me if I know what is salt or not after he tasted the poridge, because it wasn't salty enough (for him). Heehehe... actually I purposely left out the salt; mainly cause the salt is in a rusted cover jar & it has been kept in there quite long.. don't know if it is expired or not.

"Sample" of my poridge.. muahahha..

choo choo train...

Heheheh... I was in JJ just now; for dinner & window shopping (not shopping because I've burned plenty of holes in my pockets). So we were wandering around.. & I saw TRAINS!!! Not real trains of course, but Wheeeeee............. TOMY came out with Thomas & Friends train set(s). It caught attention from shoppers; young, old, teenagers, everyone.. Bahhh... I want them too!!! I went to check out the price & the train (Thomas TankEngine) itself cost nearly RM70. I never bothered to pick up another & check out its price. Ohh yeah.. can someone be so kind & buy a complete set for me?? Hehehe...

Some random pictures...

See the one with the grey color tracks?? I remember having one something like that as a kid; only it's not Thomas the TankEngine, but some other trains..

Hehee... Talking bout trains & being a kid.. my aunt told me that when I was a little girl, it was very difficult to get me to bed. So, my mum would would switch on my train set, which had a number 8 track & sit me in front of it.. So I would be watching the train going round & round & round.. til I finally fall asleep. Aww.. I am a night owl since I was a kid.. Hahahah.. No wonder I am so awake during nighttime & so darn sleepy at daytime.

Goshhh.. I feel like a kid again!! *sits on floor & wails* I want it!! I want it!! I want it!! *refering to the train set mentioned & photographed above*.

Do go check them out. If I'm not mistaken, the train sets would be on display til the 2nd of October (of this year, of course!)... You'll feel like a kid again looking at them!!.. Hehehhe... Don't forget to get me one while you're there 'kay?? =P

Sept 20th, Tues - water "distruction"

Same as yesterday - lazy. Did some debugging & started on another portion of work - emailing lost passwords; which I might add, I am only like 5% done with that.. hahaha..

After dinner. I came home & saw a notice stuck on the wall between the lifts. I would've photograph the whole thing if my cam was good enough. Anyway, it was a notice about water disruption from tomorrow til Thursday (not sure what time). What caught my eye was this...

Yeah... I don't know how water can be "distructed" (they even spell destruction wrongly!). & someone was "kind" enough too go correct them... Hahahah... or perhaps they corrected it themselves.. I had a good laugh..

oh well, people in Malacca, stock up water for tomorrow...

Sept 19th, Mon - Debug! Debug! Debug!!!

Bahhh... I am definitely having Monday Blues today.. I felt soooo lazy. Oh.. & for the first time, I felt thankful to my noisy, smokers, neighbors.. I kind of overslept today.. & when they made loads of noise, I woke up. It was 9.37am!! Quickly rush & I arrived at office bout 5-10mins late.. heheheh...

Today whole day laze around... then do debugging.. sometimes I feel so stupid for making careless mistakes. I would forget to put "echo", or put the wrong variable name, or left out some important signs.. Fixed most of the problems.. I hope no more comes up!!

Dinner... dinner.. I was so hungry... sJ & I went to Windmill for dinner

Shared a Giant glass of orange juice..


I had mashed potatoes..


My Gordan Blue... yeah.. I'm really hungry.. I ate so much.. (except my veggies..yucks!)


sJ's Chicken & Fish.. or was it Fish & Chicken??


After that, walk about a little.. then sJ went like "is that your friend?" & I (the blur case) started asking "where where?" & then I saw Kenny & Ally... chatted for awhile, then walked somemore, then off we go... where? Home la...!!! (hahahaha)

Yesterday...

... was Mooncake Festival (how come it's called Festival eh? It's only for a day wor..); which is also a special day for me =P

Anwyay, I am very lazy to blab.. so let's let some picture entertain ya'..

We had dinner in Noodle Shop, which is near MP..

They were having this "Buy One, Free One" promotion for the herbal soups. I'm not so much of a fan of this, but sJ is.. but yesterday, these soups did torture him (read: too much!)


What I had for dinner was Prawn Wan Tan Mee..


sJ had some sort of "crab stick" mee..


After dinner, we went to MP.. shopped for quite a bit, but only bought some food & beverage to stock up..

Next stop was Auntie Anne's.
So many many many pretzels... so many many flavors to choose...


In the end we had Caramel Almond.. costing around RM4 (inc. tax).


While we were eating.. (actually, nearly finish eating), the guy started making more pretzels, errmm... actually "forming/shaping" them. Out comes my lousy camera phone & snap snap snap I went. The guy realised what I was doing I guessed, but he didn't say anything or stopped me from doing so..


Skillful twist...


There you go..


Uncooked pretzels


Dip in the water & then coat with almond (sorry no pic on that)


Ready to go into the oven..


& that was yesterday...

STUPID people

It is early (to me) in the morning & I have just arrived at work. & after 10 minutes, I was still standing under the air-con.. enjoying the cool air.. Then suddenly there's this indian woman (I would call her lady if I am not p*ssed off), she was standing outside the shop for quite some time. After awhile, she put her head half in at the door &...

Woman: Itu kedai camera pukul berapa buka? (direct translation: That camera shop shop what time open?)
Me: Hah? *not understanding what/which camera shop..*
Woman: Itu kedai camera.. cuci foto punya (direct translation: That camera shop.. wash photos one)
Me: *wondering: what la.. photo shop call camera shop meh??* I tak tau (direct translation: I don't know)
Woman: *while leaving the shop, muttering so damn loud I can hear* BODOH punya, itu pun tak tau.. (STUPID one, like that also don't know)
Me: *speechless for a moment* *what the f***??) Itu bukan kedai saya mana saya tau?? You la bodoh!!! (that is not my shop, how I know la.. you la the stupid one.)

Sadly, while I was *screaming* at her, she already left.

Idiotic moron.. spoil my nice beautiful morning. Am I stupid for not knowing what time the photo shop open? Arse! She is practically stupid. If you want to "wash" photos, you should've find out first what time the shop open instead of standing around being an idiot, waiting for it to open, but don't-know-at-what-time..

Sept 15th, Thurs - While I was bathing...

... the mosquitoes were enjoying they're dinner - me! Damn bloody sucker creatures... Leaving me with the itch. I don't mind them feasting of my blood but couldn't "they" not leave a little present (the itch) for me? Okay... enough of mosquitoes.

Today was quite a Victory with a capital V.. Why? I was trying to do these links.. it's really a "blah" to explain, but they're not your everyday ordinary link. =P So anyway, I was quite frustrated trying it out that I decided to get some help. First on my thoughts was my sister but since she's working in this company that doesn't allow messengers & so, she was out. Next person I thought of was Jerie, my coursemate, classmate & project-mate of many times, who had also helped me out when I first started PHP-ing. But he was not online! Arghh.. Frustration made me glanced at my contacts in my YM (actually YM is kind of "banned" in my office, but I installed it right after my supervisor uninstall it; without permission, but he didn't really bother about it. I guess he was alright with me using it so long so I do my work) & I came across Ray. It was difficult getting his help.. Let's just say he was kind of busy & whatever coding I asked him (to verify if it's correct), he said it IS correct (only a chat with Jerie later did I discovered it IS not!) & he gave me the wrong "GET" code as well..

After that, I did not disturbed him anymore. My supervisor then came back & I asked him if he knew how to do it. You know what he told me? He said that can't do.. then he said that is the flaw of PHP; being unable to do that. I insisted can & he insisted no.. I then showed him the code (from "view source") of neXus-boards; just to show him that PHP CAN do that. So he was like "if you manage to do that already, then tell me, I want the codes too" & I was like whatever. It was already 6pm+ then.

While cramming my brains thinking about it, another round of check on the YM sees that Jerie is then online, so I turned to him for help. He corrected my codes & I tested them.. but somehow, it is STILL not displaying the expected results. It was 5 minutes before 7pm that I manage to solve the problem. 2 damn " ' " was the source of my problem. Hahaha.. & that, is my Victory. ms 1, supervisor 0 =P Hehheheheh... If you ever read this Cheng, don't get mad at me :p

For dinner, we (sJ & I) went a little crazy. He asked me where to go for dinner & I jokingly said US Pizza (after looking at some sort of phamplet) & he took it quite seriously! So we walked like oh-so-far there & had a really expensive dinner. RM40+. That is more than 80% of what I had in Sushi King last Saturday, which was only RM50.few cents.. Hmphh..

Tomorrow will be another cramming head day as I try to finish up all my portion of work. After that, I would need to try to add another good feature or two.. else I'll be dead. Have to start on the final report soon as the last-days-of-training dates are drawing closer.

annoucing the arrival of .... crapzzz... land

*grins* my new webby is now ready. I finished it all at work today.. the whole day. So that implies that I didn't work on my (given) project, but instead worked on my personal project.. *grin grin grin*

Anyway, I am super lazy to crap now... So hop on over to crapzzz... land & tell me what you think about my "land"

Sept 13th, Tues - danger of Ctrl+C

Was just about to blog.. & then this came by my Yahoo Messenger... Well..

Dear friends ,

We do copy various data by Ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Java scripts and ASP. Do not keep sensitive data (like credit card numbers, bank login/ passwords, PIN, date of births, etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. Instead make a practice of typing them always.

It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your
sensitive information. Just try this:
1) Copy any text by Ctrl+c
2) Now, click the Link
3) You will see the SAME text you copied is accessed by this web page

Hmmm... be warned people..

Anyway, my day was pretty boring. I was trying so hard to finish up the sub-module I was working on, but couldn't. Having a little problem with it & having customers with bad timings didn't help. Why.. oh why.. do customers like to come when I am busy thinking... when I am busy concentrating.. *sigh*

a bad visit

Supervisor@lecturer came for visit just now.. First he talked to Thomas, then he went in the room & talked to Cheng... After that, he came out to talk to Thomas again.. then he came & talk to me... & bombared me with questions... Sucksss.. Then he said I'm not doing enough modules.. too little for 4 months... He said what I doing was easy.. *curse curse* What on earth la.. I have to sit here entertain customers & I have to program also.. not to mention cutting dumb cables at times.. bugger... Plus I just learned PHP by myself when I came from training..

This is dumb.. training sucks.. I swear if I don't pass, I going to go bang my head on the wall... (til I die maybe)
*sits in corner & sulk*

21st birthday...

The day started with us (me & sJ) leaving for Mahkota Parade. We reached around lunch hour & had lunch in Sushi King (sorry.. too excited, forgotten to take some pics ).

After lunch, we shopped around. I even manage to buy my cousin's (one turned 7 & another turning 11 this year) birthday presents. I get along better with them that with my sis & bro... See.. we Virgos stick together.. (my sis & bro are Scorpians).. Anyway, let's not get side-tracked here..

After shopping for 2 hours, we decided it was time to leave. We went to the Gula Melaka shop again as I wanted to eat the Sago Gula Melaka..

The Sago Gula Melaka (top view)

The Sago Gula Melaka (side view)

sJ's Lemonade

finished within minutes...

Ta-daa.. pic of the shop... =)

After that, we headed home. My night was a little ruined by some certain people.. but let's not talk about them. Overall, it was quite a nice & pleasant day..

Some sms me & some messaged me to wish me.. Ah kor even called at 11pm sth when I was half asleep (due to tiredness).. & he said he wanted to call me at 12am actually. He wanted to be the last to wish me... I wonder if he really meant that.. or did he forgotten?? Hahahaa.. Anyway, thanks to all of you who wished me.. & many thanks to sJ of course.. although "no present"but your presence is my present already.. hehehe..

The night before...

Nope.. I didn't have a birthday bash that most people had. But I had a nice/fun/good/exciting/blablabla... day.. except when it got spoiled at night.

Anyway, the "celebration" started on Friday night. After dinner, he claimed that he wanted to pick up some "report(s)" from his friend's house & he told me it will be a heavy one.. might need my help to carry. It was a draggg walking there... then when we reached, I was so blur.. thinking bout how boring my day would be.. then I look at sJ & his friend talking & was wondering where is that damn "heavy" report... & then I realised he had borrowed his friend's car...

Then off we went to JJ & then Tesco... had a little cake in Secret Recipe in Tesco. What was on our mind to go to 2 places in one night? No idea..

Some jokes...

This morning it was dark when I woke up. After awhile, it started to rain.. heavily!! Made me so wanna go back to bed... Then it crossed my mind that I have to walk to work.. .. then I sms Cheng to see if he could fetch me.. No reply. Called him twice.. Never answer phone.. What to do.. Call Boss lo.. ask him I can late a bit go office.. Cause if I am to walk in the heavy rain, by the time I reach office, all wet liao.. Boss say okay.. After the rain subside, then I walked to office.. & I got to office at 10.45am today... Hhahahhaha...

Now.. how bout some jokes?

Satanic Starbucks
A man died & went to straight down to hell. The devil greeted him & gave him a guided tour of the place. He told the man that there were 3 rooms he could chose from in which to spend eternity.
The first room was full of flames so hot the man couldn't even breathe. He told the devil that there was no way he was choosing that room. So they moved on.
The next room they came to was full of people who were being beaten and tortured. It looked so painful the man could not watch. He told the devil he definitely didn't want that room & they moved on.
The last room they came to was full of people who were just sitting around drinking coffee and relaxing. The only thing was that they were standing around in about two feet of poop.
The man looked for a while & then told the devil this room would be all right. The devil gestured for him to sit down and the man took a seat. He did, sipped his coffee and felt really pleased with his choice. After a few minutes, a voice came over the loudspeaker & said, "Break time is over! Back on your heads!"

Eating alone
The teacher of the Earth Science class was lecturing on map reading. He spent the class explaining about latitude, longitude, degrees & minutes.
Towards the end of class, the teacher asked his students, "Suppose I asked you to meet me for lunch at 23 degrees, 4 minutes north latitude & 45 degrees, 15 minutes east longitude..."
A student's voice broke the confused silence & volunteered, "I guess you'd be eating alone, sir."

Keyboard error
Person turns on the computer without a keyboard plugged in. When she turns on the computer, the computer finds out that there is no keyboard attached & it gives a "Keyboard Error" message.
She then asks "Why did it give me a keyboard error? There isn't even a keyboard attached!

Sale Woes
It was the day of the big sale. Rumours of the sale and some advertising in the local paper were the main reason for the long line that formed by 8:30 in the morning in front of the store. A small man pushed his way to the front of the line, only to be pushed back, amid loud & colourful curses.
On the man's second attempt, he was punched square in the jaw, knocked around a bit & then thrown to the end of the line again. As he got up the second time, he said to the person at the end of the line, "That does it! If they hit me one more time, I don't open the damn store!"

Puzzle
Ah Lian was talking to her big brother Ah Beng over the telephone.
Lian: Ah Beng, I can't get my new jig saw puzzle fixed eh, all the edges cannot fix together lah.
Beng: Jig saw puzzle... what picture, ha?
Lian: The box show a big chicken..
Beng: Okay lah, okay lah. I come over to help you lah.

Ah Beng arrives at Ah Lian's place, where she happily leads him to the kitchen table where the jigsaw puzzle is.
Ah Beng examines the puzzle & says, "Stupid ahh, put back the corn flakes into the box lah."

Okay.. That's all for now... I better get back to work..

What's not to like?

Yesterday was National Day - to us (me & my friends) who are doing industrial training, it was a long awaited holiday. I met up with 2 of my friends, SW & AC at AC's place for a chat & FYP (Final Year Project) discussion at around 11.15am. Before 12pm we were done with the discussion & even gossip a little.

AC said she needed some new shirts & was talking bout going out to shop. Me? Hehee.. I had been wanting to go out for quite a long time. I haven't been going shopping for nearly month I think. At the spur of the moment, we talked about going out shopping - either Jusco (JJ) or Mahkota (MP). SW said she can't go as she had appointment/dated her other friends. So it was just me & AC. We decided to go to MP. We boarded a bus at around 12+pm. It was my first time going on a shopping trip on the bus. Gawd, the bus stopped nearly everywhere!! It took an hour to reach Central (Malacca bus station). After waiting a couple of minutes, we manage to board a bus to MP & reached 5 minutes before 2pm.

The first thing we did was to have lunch. So what's for lunch?? Baskin Robbin's sounds gooddddd... yummy.. delicious.. Yeah.. it probably leaves me with an ecstatic feeling. So we headed for the counter which were already like umm.. crowded with people. Why?? Because yesterday was not just National Day, it was also the 31st.. & every 31st, Baskin Robbin offers a 31% discount for it's Handpacked ice-cream. I remember how I used to have loads of Baskin Robbins when I was a kid but let's not get side-tracked with that (maybe some other time).

So we were in the so-called queue where AC kept calling for the waitress to serve us for like half an hour with two group of kiasu people (with annoying kids) jumping queue before she got really annoyed & then we left.. But when we turned around & saw nobody at the paying counter, we approached the girl there & she served us. Finally we got some of the delirious, yummy ice-cream. We each ordered the smallest Handpacked ice-cream (which weighs about 350grams wor..)each. It cost around RM15 each after discount. Boy, did that entertained us for some time. It took so long for us to finish it. I made a mistake by ordering both (we are allowed to choose 2 flavors) chocolate-y flavor. Sinful yummies. The last few spoonfuls were kind of torturing me but since I manage to finish them all. Not good to waste such delicious ice-cream.

After ice-cream, it was shopping time for us. I managed to buy myself a halter top that I have been looking for for quite sometime. It was quite a bargain at RM13.90 for a Abercrombie & Fitch top. Pretty sure it's original. AC tried on this cute light green layered top which she looked really cute in but she didn't buy it because she didn't like the color that much. Also managed to get a BUM shirt for sJ & AC bought 1 too for ah kor (my god-brother, Danny). I tried to get the Nike wrist band (for myself & another for my bro), but they were all out. Geezz. Anyway, bought myself the Seventeen magazine in MPH, with a Hot Pink (as they claim) Celebrate Life band. I had wanted a Blue or Yellow band but they only had Pink. After buying that, when we were about to leave only did we notice there was a magazine store around the corner that had Seventeen which came with either Green or Yellow band.. & that annoyed me for awhile. Then we bought some breads from BreadStory before leaving. We waited for bout 10 minutes before a bus finally arrives & take us to Central, where we boarded another bus back.

Hmmm... Nope.. The girl who wanted to buy some shirts for herself didn't manage to get herself any shirt(s). Anyway, I pretty much enjoyed this trip - which was a first time for me to go out on a bus. I think I boarded more buses yesterday (four in total) than I had in the past year (Yeah.. I get to sit in cars to travel home ). Even though it was quite hot (& I came back sweaty & probably stinky ), I think for a first-timer, I was quite lucky to manage to get seats on all the rides, to & fro. Thanks to darling friend, AC for the company.

What's not to like?? Ice-cream? Gooood... Halter top?? Nice.... Goodies? Love 'em... Trip?? Funnn... Time spent with best friend? Priceless... hAHhaha... I am going crazy...


Today felt so lazy to really do any work... Hhahaha... But I don't know why is there so many customers (again!)... Plus there was one uncle whom I think is really embarassing himself & his daughter. He came in with his daughter & a probematic computer. While Cheng whisk it off to check, the daughter (quietly & politely) told her dad that she have got class at 8pm. The father in reply said It's only 6pm+ la.. plenty of time... blablabla.. (You get the idea la..). Then she replied that she needed to bath first (again, quietly & politely). & then I don't know what got into the father who then started scolding her. Pity her! Got lectured by her dad in public.. totel public humiliation. It is worse that the dad would scold for sometime & then look at my Malay colleague (who probably does not understand half of what he's crapping) & laugh at his daughter's faults. So there goes my day.. Now I'm waiting for Saturday night to arrive (cause Sunday no need to work ma). God.. help me through my last month there..
