My LIFE...: August 2006

It's my last day being here...

Finally it’s my last day in my current company. Have been waiting for almost 2 months and eventually here it comes!!! I keep asking myself, what have I learnt from this project? Well, perhaps I’ve learnt how important a good project management is, as well as a well-design system. Most of the developers will feel annoyed, upset, demotivated, and uncommitted when working on a badly design system with messy, dirty and unnecessary codes. The condition worsened if the project is not well planned. These are also the main reasons that I chose to leave this project, despite of all the attractive packages being offered.

Feel released, and joyful, but at the same time, a bit reluctant to say good-bye to my fellow colleagues. The greatest thing I gained from here is the friendship build among us. Perhaps it’s the tough situation, tones of complaints and some of the events being organized which tied us together. Of course I won’t forget of the great contribution from our great developers who had written LTK which bring us much more closely to each others. We laugh, we cry, we complain, we discuss, and we play here… it’s the place of sharing!

For sure I’ll miss all of you... May God bless you all! Cheers!!!

My Big Day!!!

Yeah it’s my birthday…!!! I’m glad to have groups of friends celebrate with me. One of the memorable celebrations is my Sepang trip with my fellow colleagues. Driving in 3 MyVi, it took us around 1 hour to reach Tanjung Sepat, Sepang. Our beloved tour guide brought us to a nice beach. Wow!! Growing in a small town near to the beach, I do miss the beach a lot. Unfortunately I didn’t bring my camera along, thus miss the opportunities to take photos of the beautiful scenes. Here I ‘borrow’ some of the photos taken by wAntAn:

After a short tour to the beach, we went to the seafood restaurant which is near to the Lovers’ Bridge.

This is the most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen.

Thanks to MoonCake for treating us LOBSTER!!

Team Building Program

With the purpose to build team spirit, my client company has organized a Team Building Program on 28 July in Selesa Hill Homes Resort, Bukit Tinggi. This is a full day event with lots of fun activities and games. We drove there in several cars and unfortunately 2 of our cars drove to the wrong direction. We almost reached Bukit Tinggi Resort before we were informed of our mistakes. Thus we were rushing for our breakfast before the program ‘officially’ started. We were arranged into several teams, and mine is BLUE. Yeah, we named our team “Blue Busters”!!

For the first activity, we were required to find a partner from different company and to get know of his/her better by asking few questions like what is his/her nickname, how is her/his ideal partner like, any embarrassing moment etc. Well I don’t actually get used to tell these kinds of things to someone whom I’m not closed to, and also in front of so many people. But I did enjoy of others’ stories. :D Following this are a series of games in teams. I did really enjoy all the games and there are full of fun!!

We had river trekking for the afternoon session. Being guided to the jungle, each of the team was given an egg and a glass of water on tray. We are required to hold these while playing games without breaking or falling any of them. That is the challenging part of the game! By helping each others, all of us were managed to finish all the session.

Unfortunately my team did not win the game. Anyhow we had done our best!! The program ended by prize giving, speech and camera sessions. We were given a certificate of participation.

Lantern Exhibition

It has been months since my last update on this blog. Being reminded for several times and I kept on giving excuses that I was busy… busy for nothing!! Sorry for the long waiting. :P Two months ago, on 22 June, I went to visit a Lantern Exhibition which was held in Bukit Jalil. It’s bigger than what I expected. Some of the lanterns are very nice and amazing. Here are some of the photos being taken:
