Waterproof phones

Ever thought of messaging your friends in your bath?? Imagine how wonderful it will be to have a waterproof phone..........

See....you can even immerse your phone into the water.

Draining the phone under the tap, not a problem at all.

Have you ever being bitten by someone that you have help, teach and nurture for years? Let me tell you, it hurts. When they need you, they had the most innocent angel face but when they don’t, they appear to be the most evil being walking on earth.

During all these years of working, the following conversations had been replay hundreds of times…..

SCENARIO 1-
BOLIONGSIM : Wah so late liau ah, I go to fetch my daughter first, will come back to finish the testing later.
ME : Bah…See you later then…

After (1-2) hours, I received a call from this Mr.BOLIONGSIM…

BOLIONGSIM : Val, my father-in – law house got function, could you please help me to finish up the final testing?
ME : Uh……What time is your function?
BOLIONGSIM : I need to go to pick my wife from Airport first and then head for the function. How ah? I am afraid the function will be late bah. How leh? Aiyah, susah……….
ME : Ok lah, I will wrap it up for you.
BOLIONGSIM : And do the documentation too, Thank you, you are my life-saver.

SCENARIO 2-
SANDRA : Boliongsim, no need to go home early kah? Today wedding anniversary leh.
BOLIONGSIM : (sigh) Can not lah, I still have all these batching to do, if can finish by 2am, then syukur loh.
SANDRA : Aiyah, you go home lah, accompany your wife, I will help you with the batching.
BOLIONGSIM :Really, Thank you very much.

SCENARIO 3-
ME : At last finish my part, today can go home early, great. Ho ho ho ho…..
BOLIONGSIM : Val, my authentication section can not compile?
ME : How come? What are the errors?
BOLIONGSIM : Let me show you the errors? (Boliongsim compile his fuction again to show me the compile errors)
ME : This error occurs coz’ you had not pass the arguments. This one is suppose to be double, not long. And etc………. (I stay back to help him solved all his problems. I really don’t mind coz’ I believe we are a TEAM, we shall work together to cover each other back. Moreover, I like every one to live happily together)
BOLIONGSIM : Thank you for helping me, if not you, I will not be able to finish so soon.

SCENARIO 4-
BOLIONGSIM : Hooray, done , done, done…… Nah Sandra, you can begin your part.
SANDRA : Wait, Mr. Boliongsim, there is something wrong, your designing report format is wrong.
BOLIONGSIM : How can that be?
SANDRA : You need to reference back on your UML and GRANT chart, not only the summarized. I will find you a copy of the format and give it to you later. This one I will change it for you.
BOLIONGSIM : Ok, thank you and you can leave the new format on my IN tray. Bah, Bye……

And can you imagine what we get from these BOLIONGSIM on 20/2/2008………..He really is a King B*st**d. This is what he said to Sandra in the smoking zone…….

Sandra : Did you bring the System XYZ documentation?
BOLIONGSIM : Yes, I did, will pass to you later. You should have done your work properly, how come you never punch your card when you went home? Make it a habit bah. No wonder the manager scold you.
Sandra : You work like me wah…………, you should understand, not that I purposely leave that out, is just sometimes when it is too late and I had been so tired, I forget to do it. Moreover, there is the swipe card we used that can denotes what time we left the office bah.
BOLIONGSIM : But you shall not think like this, think of the others people bah, like the finance people, how can they know what time you leave the office, they are not in the software development side?
BOLIONGSIM : And how come you are not using the new format for your UML report?
Sandra : What new format?
BOLIONGSIM : There is a new format lah, don’t pretend you don’t have.
Sandra : I really did not know about it…..When did you guys start using the new format?
BOLIONGSIM : (smiling there – evil smile), then, I give you one later lah. Bah, back to work loh.

Sandra is at boiling point there, how can he be so cruel, when he needs help, we help but now………….he is so eager to see you dead. HUMAN…….

News of Death

Tonight, there will be a new star joining the sky but a reduction in Brunei population by 1. Hopefully our old friend whom migrates to the sky can fit in soon.

Remember the time we spent together in tuition, your rebellious argumentative nature and my quiet cunning-smiley face. You have always been the Ms. Action while I am the planner. Memories memories memories, it was all flowing pass my mind like a movie slideshow.

(Sigh) It had been so many years since I last saw you. And the next I heard of you is this...........

My Old Friend, Rest In Peace.

Ofix Politik

There is a forensic and analytical way of saying, “Nothing is a secret when a 3rd party enters into the picture” and “None paper in this world could have the power to wrap a FIRE.”

Office politics, when used wisely can help you achieved your aim. However, it also depends greatly on how intelligent a manager can manipulate the politics situation in his department. When shall he create the turbulence? What shall be his plan when the turbulence is on top of the rock? How can he control such aggressive power?

In our departments, office politics is our main course (just like the rice we had everyday), we need to face them everyday. No matter how low profile or careful you are, my colleagues are just glad/eager/over-excited to stab you at the back, see you fall and then came forward “kindly” to help you up so that they can hit you even harder next time in order to laugh at you. Whatever Islamic, Christian and Buddha teachings are all gone and disappear in thin air. What a pity?

(Both in the smoking zone having their break.)

Sandra : Hai Rocky, May I borrow your lighter?
Rocky : Of Course you may. Nah….
Sandra : So, What is up?
Rocky : Nothing much, recently had been busy with the integration of COM ABC with System XYZ.
Sandra : How is it going?
Rocky : So far so good lah…….How is your System 123 additional specifications?
Sandra : Huh!!........What Specifications, Says Who?
Rocky : Didn’t you receive any email?
Sandra : What email?
Rocky : Email send by Mr. CinCin, informing us on the newly added specification and request each of us to come up with a new User Interface for System 123. And each of us will have to talk about our idea during the System Review held on this coming Thursday.
Sandra : I had not received such email, may be is for PIO (ie, People Involve Only).
Rocky : It is not me that bad-mouth you in front of the manager, it is all Mr. CinCin.
Sandra : What to do, in this department, I am just an outsider.
Rocky : No eh,…… you are not, even the manager did said before that you are still part of our development team even though you are chosen to specialized in System Security.

Hearing such hypocrite words, Sandra just smiled at Rocky and heads back to her table. The next thing she did was picking up the phone calling me. Ha ha ha ha……

Olympic Panda

When my sister show me this box set (the Beijing Olympic Panda 2008), my first impression is that this is a good gift set, i.e . no matter quality-wise, presentation and cuteness of the panda.

But when you know the name of these little panda, it is even more interesting. Their name from left to right is Ms. Bei Bei, Ms. Jing Jing, Ms. Wel Wel, Ms. Come Come, Ms. You You.

(Generally, their name is a fracture of "Beijing Welcome You").

I find the idea really cool and attractive.

Valentine's Day

I have a boy friend who grew up with me. I used to call him “Loggy” (coz’ he is like a log, always lack in expression). Remember the day he proposed for me to be his girl friend was on 14th February, sending me a doll with Valentine’s card. Today, I went to his house to celebrate this special 14th February 2008 day with him again. (^_^ )

However, due to his “WOODY” nature, we always argue/fight with each other.

Me : “Loggy, do you want to watch movie?”
Loggy: “I can’t”
Me: “Why ? You have something to do?”
Loggy: “No, I am just going to meet a friend.”

And then comes the fighting part. He is always like this. He even met with girls in front of me like it was nothing wrong. Sometimes this make me sad and angry, probably to him, I was just another “Girl Species Friend”, the word “LOVE” never came out from his mouth, he only said “LIKE LIKE LIKE”.

To us, there weren’t any anniversaries at all. He didn’t say anything from the first day and it continued till 100 days, 200 days and so on. Everyday, before we said goodbye, he will hand me a doll without fail. I don’t know why and amazingly none of the doll is the same. One day…….

Me: “Uh…….Loggy, I……”
Loggy: “What? If you want to say something, Just say it?”
Me: “I want to ask you something?”
Loggy: “What? Say lah”
Me: “Do you love me?”
Loggy: “Um……Just take this doll and then go home.”
Me: “Why do you always ignore this question?”
Loggy: “No, I am not. I give you a doll everyday, don’t I?”
Me: “Why do you give me a doll everyday?”
Loggy: “Stop asking so many nonsense questions, take the doll and go home now, it is late…”

The dolls I received from him everyday filled my room, one by one, there are so many and he never answered my question………... Then one day came, my 20th Birthday, it was a Sunday. I got up early in the morning, dressed myself, pictured a great time with him and stranded myself in my room, waiting for his call. But……….Lunch passed, dinner passed, supper passed, he still didn’t call. All I get was hours of tired waiting and dialing at his engaged phone until I felt asleep. Then at 3am morning, he suddenly calls me and woke me from my sleep. He told me to come out of the house. Even though upset and furious, I still felt a bit of joy as I am about to see him, so, I went out quietly…………

Me : (staring at him with my angry face)
Loggy : “Here……take this…..” (he handed me another doll)
Me : “What is this?”
Loggy : “I did not give it to you yesterday, so, I am giving you now. I am going home now, bye….”
Me : “Loggy, Wait. Do you know what day is today?”
Loggy : “Huh? Today?”
Me : (I was so sad and angry, how can he forget my birthday? I want to find out where he went today) “Where are you today?”
Loggy: “I went to Belalong with some friends. Bah, it is cold out here, go on in, and don’t stand there.”

After saying this, he just turned around, entered his car and wanted to leave. Immediately I shouted back……

Me : “LOGGY”
Loggy : “You have something to say?”
Me : “I want to ask you one final time, DO YOU LOVE ME OR NOT?”
Loggy : “What?”
Me : “You heard my question, now answer it?”
Loggy : (Sigh) “I don’t want to say I Love someone so easily, if you are desperate to hear it then find someone else.”

This is what he said and then drove off from my house. My legs were stiff, face wet and I walked back into the room, crying endlessly on my bed. Since then, for two weeks, neither did he call me nor went out with me. Routinely, he keeps on dropping by, passing a doll everyday to my maid outside my house and drove off. Now, there were more dolls in my room, piling up like stack of books…..

One day, when I went shopping with my parents, I saw him with a girl, smiling and chatting happily with that girl. He was in the dolls department, buying a doll.

In a fit of anger, once I got home, I grab a black garbage bag and packed all the dolls he gave me inside. While dumping the dolls into the black bag, my cell-phone rang, it was him. He asks me to meet him at one of the jungle trekking route near my house. (We used to go jungle trekking together there) I calm myself down, keep reminding myself that the purpose of me going to meet him is to bring an end to our relationship. I want all this to settle soon, once and for all.

Going up a steep hill on the jungle trekking route, his figure came into my sight, holding a hug doll.

With his wide smiling face, Loggy said “Wow, I thought you are angry and will not come, but you came too.”

Me : (I really hate him, acting like nothing happen) “So, what is up?”

And as usual, he held out the doll for me and said “This is for you.”

Me : “I don’t want it”
Loggy : “What? Why?” (pushing the doll at me)

Me : (Angrily, I grabbed the doll and threw it down the steep hilly road I climb up just now) “I said I don’t want it, I don’t need it anymore and I don’t want to see you anymore too…………..”

I spilled out all the swearing, sadness and hurtful words inside me. Unlike other days, I saw his eyes become wet too.

Loggy : “I am sorry…..” (He apologized in a tiny voice and moved towards the doll, wanting to pick the doll up at the foot of the hill.)
Me : “Aiyah………, I don’t want the doll anymore, don’t pick it anymore, Just let it be….”

Just like usual, he ignored me and went to pick the doll. Suddenly, I heard a tweak from the branch and I saw Loggy falling off and rolling down the hill. I saw his head knock against a big rock along the way. My heart pumping, hand trembling, eyes wet, I shouted out his name, “ LOGGY, LOGGY, How are you? LOGGY, Look at me………”

This is how he left me. He left without giving me a chance to apologize what I had said to him earlier. Since then, I had been locking myself up in my room, getting by every day with guiltiness and the sadness of losing him.

One day, my mother handed me the big doll Loggy wanted to gave me on his last day. I took the dolls and put it on my bed, there are still blood-stained on the doll. Loggy blood…….

Looking at the garbage plastic bags, I went over to take out the dolls. Those were the only gifts he left me since the day we started going out. Memories of him fill my mind, my eyes were full of tears, I began to count the number of dolls that I had, it represents the number of days we were in love.

Counting slowly, “One, two, three, four, five, ………………………..four hundred and sixty-three.” It all ends with 463 dolls, ie, the last huge big doll. Again I started to cry, hugging tightly the big doll in my arms. Unexpectedly…………..Loggy sound came out from the doll, it said “I Love You, I Love You”

Surprised, Stunned and Shocked, I dropped the doll, I mumbled to myself “I……Lllll….ooooovvveeeee……You?”

I picked up the big doll I dropped earlier and pressed its stomach, Loggy said “I Love You, I Love You”. Cannot believed what I have heard, I began pressing all the dolls stomach as it piled up on the side and Loggy words came out non-stop……..
“I Love You”
“I Love You”
“I Love You”
“I Love You”
“I Love You”
“I Love You”
“I Love You”

Again I pressed on the stomach of the big doll a few times, and this time a letter fell out from the doll (teddy bear) shirt, it reads

Hai,
Do you know what day is today?
We have loved each other for 463 days. Do you know what 463 is?
I know you are angry with me.
Most of the time I was too shy to …….Ummm……to say I Love You. Therefore, I gave you a doll every day, helping me to pass the message to you.
However, if you forgive me and willing to take this doll, I promise I will say “I LOVE YOU” to you everyday every hour every minute and every second.
And one more thing, 463 = Love deeply You. I really Love You and Please don’t leave me.

Lecturing

Yesterday, spend a full 3 hours lecturing my nephew on his believed "cool behaviour" of following his friend blindly in certain unresponsible activities.

Remember the time when I am teenagers, answering back is a NO NO NO. In this century, this is not the case anymore, I need to talk logic out of everything he ask / answer back.
Finally, to strengthen my point, i make use of what my lecturer always told me when i am in University.

He who know not, does not know that he know not is a FOOL.

He who know not, and know that he know not is a STUDENT, teach him.

He who know yet does not know that he know is ASLEEP, wake him.

He who know and know that he know is a LEADER, follow him
