I’m back in the office~! And there’s almost no one in here.

I have work to do but it isn’t a really critical project. If it was critical, they would have given me proper details and quickly finalize the program in the first place.

Anyway, it’s been awhile I’ve been updating this blog. I’ve been thinking a lot lately… Where am I going with this life? Is engineering really what I want to do? Especially in Malaysia where professionals are never really appreciated although needed.

Sigh…

I’m having problems just trying to log into my own blog. Is something wrong with the server or the script?
Isn’t life itself hell enough already? Why does my own website has to reject my access?

Sure, everyone deserves free speech and be allowed to say what they think. But the stage was already given to Taylor Swift during the MVA. That was her moment and hers alone and Kayne Ass has no right to rob that away from her.

Sure, Beyonce is good, but she didn’t win. Deal with that Kayne! A lot of people wanted her to win and so does a lot of others who wants Taylor to win!

And screw Hits.FM Morning Crew for thinking of a topic to let people think of excuses for Kayne West. He deserves no excuses and his music should be boycotted just like how Chris Brown’s music was boycotted.

Step 1
Skip all news, go straight to the sports, comics and tech sections. They are probably the only news worth reading nowadays.

Step 2
If it’s good news, it’s probably the opposite. If it’s bad news, it’s probably is. Good news includes new policies ‘to help’ the poorer citizens. Bad news includes increase in oil prices.

Step 3
If it’s censored, it’s probably talking something bad about the government. According to the government, everything they say is not true.

Step 4
Either to keep caring and worrying about the political situation in the country or just stop caring and live on your life.

Step 5
Read a blog, a Facebook comment or a Tweet. They are much more entertaining sometimes and you are helping reducing paper usage while saving your money.

Step 6
Blaming Streamyx and MCMC for every internet connection problem you face is not wrong! It’s probably 90% right to blame them most of the time.

Any company needs to be organized. The more organized a company is, the more efficient it is and the better it can detect flaws and fix them. An organized company needs to have reports, deadlines and follow ups.

Now imagine this scenario; The company needs to re-program a software system to support an upcoming product. In the first meeting, the programmer sits in the room expecting nothing at the moment, since the product isn’t even completed and there’s no documents for the programmer to work with.

Then, being an organized company, the manager wants an expected date of completion. No, you can’t argue and say “TBD depending on…” because you are given 2 days to case study the probability of something which didn’t exists yet.

I’m sure this doesn’t apply to all departments but at least every company has a department with this kind of manager. Most probably, IT guys needs to give expected uptime of a computer or server before they even know what’s wrong.

Now, do you still think that all multi-national companies are smart?

The truth is… I hate this theme! I can’t believe Lim Kit Siang is also using the same theme.

It looks ugly… That, and the fact that my life is nothing more then a boring routine of work, live, eat, sleep lately.

I also became quite lazy to look for a new theme AND make sure that all my plugins are compatible with the new one. -_-

And since I don’t really have anything interesting to say or to blog about, I’ll just have to annouce that, I’ve bought a new pair of shoes, played inline skating for the first time, went to Sg. Sedim, cought a flu and was finally able to swim one half a lap of the swimming pool non stop.

See? Nothing special… Just a boring old routine life -_-

Quickie: Hmm… I’m still waiting for my free T-Shirt from Exabytes.

I’ve got some (only a little)  spare time in the office lately. Since I’ve completed part of my work and am waiting for some engineers to verify the program so they can come back to me with bugs for me to fix.

So, I’ve decided to create a little Excel file which will help me to track my daily spending and helps me to create a budget of how much I can spend per day.

It’s not one of those complicated Excel financial tracker which you can download from Microsoft. I find them too complicated and not suitable tracking what’s in my pocket. I don’t need Excel to track and plan my bills and bank accounts. I just want to know how I spend the money I drew out from the ATM machine and how much should I spend daily for that money to last.

Well, I’ve redesigned it a little and wrote a little readme file with it so I can distribute it.

If you have the need to track the cash in your wallet, and not your bank, your bills, your safe, your credits, etc…, why don’t you try it out?
