Dunno why, but i just get the feeling I'm lost in life... No goal, drifting aimlessly, living for the sake of just living... At times like this I often ask myself, "Why am I so different from others?". I sometimes envy those that live life to the fullest, but for me I just find that so impossible to do... Why? Maybe it's cause of I'm what people call "essentric".
Often I find myself unable to enjoy what other people would enjoy doing. I never could find a goal in life as I dunno wtf I even want in life to begin with? Money? Knowledge? Wisdom? A pretty babe? Though I'm not a Buddhist, I believe in alot of their teachings especially their teaching on "Suffering". We suffer because we crave for something. I often find myself lost and confused because I know craving leads to suffering but yet despite knowing it I still crave for things. It's like I know that if I take another step forward I would fall off the cliff, but my inner self still yearns to take another step despite knowing I would then fall to my doom.
I often have the desire to live my life like a wanderer. Wandering from one place to another, leaving new friends and memories that I just had at a place I just visited with the odds I would never see them again. I always felt that I was always a wanderer by nature, valueing the journey itself rather than the final destination. Am I essentric? Yes I believe I am but as I long ago learned, once a word is spoken, it losses it's meaning (That is y I dun enjoy to talk anymore than I need to).
After one week of working at my new company, I decided to label myself as Malaysia biggest loser. Why I call myself Malaysia's biggest loser? Simple, cause I'm one.
Imagine having ur father driving with u to work and then coming back from work with u (Meaning 4 trips up and down to my office). I'm indeed utterly useless. When I suggest I go solo since I already know the road to office, my father claims my driving skill is not up to mark, blablabla (Believe me, no one stands a chance to be considered up to mark by my father)... Today, I just sort of spoiled my boss birthday party at a KTV because of this reason. I asked my father to gimme drive the car to my office as I know tis party will end very very late but my father insisted on going with me and said he would wait at my relative house at Bangsar. The boss party was held in Kepong which was pretty far from my office. Atlast, a senior worker had to drive me to Bangsar where my father was waiting... I dunno wtf my co-workers thinks of me anymore considering I'm so useless till need my father drive me up to work and back from work....
Besides that, I also had to suffered a stab through my ego. I always thought my Java skill were good, but after working for just a week in my new company, I realized just how much skill I was lacking. I knew my skills nothing at international level but to be lacking that much even at local level, it really puts a hole through my self confidence.
Putting my ego self aside, my new co. is definitely one good co. The environment is great and most importantly the collegues are friendly. I however have doubt if someone so useless as me is worth being in such good co. Most of my collegue are same age but are way ahead of me in programming skills and definitely more independant. But if u think I gonna call it quits, think again. Despite my parents advice for me to quit this job and find a job near Klang or "any area where driving to there is easy", I'm very determined to prove to my parents that their opinion on how I should live my life is not always right.
How can I drive better solo if I'm not allowed to struggle by driving solo to work to begin with? How can I become better at programming if I dun accept the I got points where I need to work one? How can I be independant if I was to always let my parent dictate how I should live my life? I'm considering renting a room at my aunties house at Bangsar so I can goto work easier (cut cost of toll also) but mainly so I can start living independant without my parents ordering me how I should eat, drink, work, sleep, exercise, play and most importantly live my life. I know I owe my parents alot for raising me, but I can let they live my life for me anymore...

The ceremony was held last Sunday. My father, mother, sister and grandfather all came for the ceremony (and paid a hefty $ for it). The whole ceremony had a photoshot session, certificate passing session and a cocktail session. For my course, only got around 7-9 people... Dunno wtf happened to the others.
Ya, I was like usual the lone ranger at the ceremony cause the other 7-9 people I hardly know them. Funny thing was one of them called ??? came to shake hand with me (dunno his name also), my mother then call for me to take a photoshot together with ???... If best friend, take photo together at graduation okay lar, but dunno who the f*ck the guy name is also take photo for graduation is DAMN LAME! Imagine putting this photo on ur table and every time u see that photo, u will be asking urself "Why the f*ck did I take photo with a guy I hardly know in the graduation ceremony in the first place for?".
The certificate passing ceremony was damn bo-ring. I have to dress up in a robe(dun mind wearing robe if it was stylish like Jedi robes) and wear a stupid hat just to come on stage when they call ur name and take a cert for the chancellor.
The cocktail was more like a buffet, nothing much to eat though. Wat a rip off, especially when the hotel is supposingly a 5 star hotel (Nikko Hotel). When home worn out... Didn't felt like a graduation ceremony to me, heck didn't get to throw our hat... Lame...

Okay, I watch quite an amount of old and new movies recently and here are my review on them:
Ocean Eleven
Witty and funny script, great acting from the star studded cast and no silly and senseless action scene. The movie is abit old but quality wise, gets my thumbs up. If only all Hollywood movie have such quality.
Howl's Moving Castle
Directed by the same dude who directed "Spirited Away". Got some scenes that bears similarity to "Spirited Away" but overall a different storyline. Enjoyable movie but not as good as "Spirited Away" though.
Batman Begins
Okay, this is a pretty strong movie but suffers from the lack of a proper villain department. Quite frankly, I think Batman is far more menacing than the villains especially in the car chase scene in the Bat Mobile where he caused major damage to the city and cops who were chasing him.
The Machinist
Thriller movie but felt the pace of the movie was too slow. Not everyone will find this movie their cup of tea. Moral of the movie: "Even when other people harm you, you can still sleep peacefully at night. However do harm on others, you no longer can sleep peacefully at night".
War of the Worlds
Like wat Eidur commented, this movie was pretty exciting at the start. However when the story reached the part where Tom Cruise meets the looney dude, the movie went straight downhill.
National Treasure
Hollywood should have just left this movie hidden, unfound and burried.
Madagascar
Plain old boring animated Hollywood movie.
Hitchhiker Guide to the Galaxy
Jam packed with silly slapstick jokes that are so silly it ain't funny anymore. If you're expecting this movie to be entertaining like "Galaxy Quest", you gonna go home dissapointed.

Ya, spend the whole day today learning Hibernate. Finally managed to get the simple "Hello World" program to run with Hibernate. I initially decided to setup the "Hello World" program by modifying an existing Ant build file to do my dirty business(mkdir, compile, jar and run) but was driven into maddness thanks to classpath problem. Syit!
Got feedup and decided to use the old way to do things, good ol' compile via console. Bad decision :-( ... The damn Hibernate uses alot of other jar files which need to be added to classpath to get the damn jvm to run the program. Later on had problem with the Hibernate configuration xml files as it's damn picky like hell, complains even when u dun include the damn DOCTYPE tag crap into the xml file.
Was pissed like hell, as I added more and more jar files to the classpath (Got around 30+ jar files). Had enough and decided to spend time writing another ant build file from scratch and included all the damn jar files into classpath with just a few ant statements. Did abit of reading online on Hibernate properties file and finally did managed configure it properly to get the damn "Hello World" program to run! ARGH!

Yupe, just quit my job just now... The boss accepted my resignation profesionally. He asked why I decided to call it quits, I just told him I couldn't cope with the pressure and is afraid I can't deliver. He eventually told me, he purposely assigned people to give me alot of pressure and gave me a low salary to see how I cope with it (Ha... Ha... Ha...). Anyway I sticked to the "I can't handle the pressure and is worried I can't deliver" line. We come to a mutual agreement "I don't owe u and u dun owe me" and I no need to serve extra 7 days in the co. I surrendered every paper/document that the company gave to me and I left my former office with a feeling of guilt but knew it's better feel guilty now than sorry later.
I'm now infront of my house PC eating Instant Cup Noddle while bloggin feeling quite dissapointed about myself for quitting after only 5 days. Must try to shake my bad experience with my former co. now out of my mind and focus on my new co. Learned quite alot from the former co. (mostly about office politics) but I definitely dun want to spent 3 years of my life there. Just hope the new co. dun turned out to be similar like my former one.

Damn, I got screwed again at my office today. I was on "unpaid" leave today but decided still to go to office since Mr Kumar and Mr Tah setup a meeting to discuss about the new product at 10am. Imagine my disgust when I approach Mr Kumar only to be inform the meeting is at 2pm. Mr Kumar however said he would repeat the product information on next week for me. Killed my initial doubts about staying at the co.
Went to the co. for the 2nd interview, my father drove me there since my sister was using the car. Noticed my father using the Highway from Banting instead of the Federal Highway, didn't mention it to him since he is the type who likes to experiment with roads to use when going to KL. It wasn't till we reached a third toll where I sensed something was admist, he was driving to Technology Park Malaysia to APIIT!!! I warn him and he got into his normal ego mood, blaming me (Advice: Shut up and suck it up when u get into these kinda situation)... Got to pass through a bunch of tolls to turn into Cheras area.
Reached the office and got another suprised. The boss inform me that this appointment was not for an interview but to inform me that I got the job offer. I inform him I already am employ but is willing to quit my current job for this job. He went on to explain the terms and condition, and I got the shock of my life when he stated my salary is Rm X.X K!! Almost 40% more compared to my current one and more than the salary I asked for in my resume! He went on and stated I would be placed under probation for 3 months and if I perform up to mark, I may get another 10-20% increase!!! Besides that, no work on Saturday and any T-shirt with collar will do for work attire!!! WTF!? I however asked if any travelling is required and got the reply, he would only send experienced ones and won't sent wet feets like me (My current co. wants to send me to Manila for one freaking month, alone to setup a product there in Sept!!!).
I wanted to seal the deal right there but decided to ask for some time to sign the contact cause I'm still bound to my current co. contract, never know if I may get sued for signing a new contract without terminating the old one first... I got around 10 days to reply... Best part is I'm gonna start off doing Java programming at familiar terrain (JSP, scriplets somemore...). I was also encouraged to take up Hibernate which he also ask if I knew what it is. Off course I know wtf it is! OR (Object - Relational) Mapping Solution (Not sure if solution is the right word). Thought I dun know how to use it... yet... :-)
Anyway the whole deal was far more casual and friendly manner (compared to me current co. one) which goes well with me. Now I gotta make a decision, stay or move... I would be missing a chance of a lifetime to study under a 35 years experience programmer if I leave but my morale at my current company is very low, as my friend at my current co. would say it "Everyone here take care of their own self only"...

Hmm... Another co. recently contacted me and want to conduct a 2nd interview so I'm currently have two choices, stay at my current co. or jump ship...
Choice 1: Stay at current co.
Pros:
Pros:
Choice 1: Stay at current co.
Pros:
- Get to learn from a 35 years experience programmer
- Future prospect of rising up the career ladder is good if I can cope
- Expense saving since work place is near
- Office politics
- Demanding boss
- Stress and pressure to deliver may result in getting all my hair white
Pros:
- More understanding boss (A programmer himself)
- Less strict dressing code
- Local chinese programmers, easier to communicate
- Expense will skyrocket due to petrol, parking and toll
Okay, today I went on a business trip together with Mr Kumar and Mr Tah to Melaka. Well, the trip was not bad (beats sitting in my office doing nothing) but most of the time in the car, I kept quiet since I'm unable to engage on the conversations that Mr Tah and Mr Kumar were having (family, sons, cars, working exp). Mr Tah indeed impressed me with his broad knowlegde which enables him to conversate quite alot of things with Mr Kumar. Anyway, the journey to Melaka tooks about long 3 hours and quite frankly I wasn't aware of why I was sent together with Mr Tah and Mr Kumar in this trip (Heck, I dun even know wtf where we were heading to in Melaka).
Atlast we reach our destination and since this project is quite confidential, u bet I won't run my rants about it here. Anyway at our destination, we were greated by two businessmans which dun look like normal businessmans (Ever seen a normal businessman wears polo T-shirt and short pants?). I was cracking my arse when one of the businessman received a h/p call from his h/p and reply the call by saying "No ur not my banker, ur not my agent and ur not my ???, pls dun call me again!" before exclaiming to us "Damn, these telemarketing people hah, thesssh! How the hell they get my h/p no. one...". The other businessman reply by saying "They sell it to them one mah, those housing, car and etc agent". LOL
Then the two businessman treated us to lunch at a chicken rice shop, driving us there in the Mercs. I'm betting my shoes these two guys are definitely big shots by the way they talk. During lunch, I got questioned by one of them whom asked me about how many programming languages I knew. I said I only knew one ie Java. Then he asked Mr Kumar how many he knew, Mr Kumar said he knew about 70+ languages from Assembly (Note: Mr Kumar been in IT field for over 35 years).
The trip back was more quiet as we were already tired so not so many conversation. After we reached the office block, Mr Kumar and Mr Tah asked me to join them for coffee... I eagerly joined them for coffee (Hehehe, during office hour). There I learned a fact that puts my so-called coffee addiction to shame. Mr Kumar claims during his younger days he used to whallop around 11 cups of coffee a day! Shit, my personal record for coffee is atmost 5 cups a day... Malu betul... Anyway Mr Kumar told me more about his experience in this field, he claimed he often slept for a short 4 hours a day. Mr Tah then claimed he been smoking since 13, and at times he whack 5 packets a day! Talk about extreme... They indeed earned my respect... LOL
Mr Kumar then left us at the coffee shop to go home (As chief of R&D, he have a flexible timetable). Mr Tah told me to learn as much as I can from Mr Kumar cause Mr Kumar has more than 35 years of experience (worth gold if u ask me). Mr Tah asked me to asked whatever I'm not sure of in the project to Mr Kumar cause I'm actually expected to take over the project once Mr Kumar leaves us (Note: Mr Kumar is from India) in 6 more months. Quite a large task for someone so small like me ya, but Mr Tah motivation speech indeed inspired me to try (told u, he was a great talker).

I been working at my current company for a good 2 weeks, and I'm bored to dead there... As a Junior Programmer, I have yet to touch or see any Java code... The nearest code like thing I touch was html...
So wtf have I been doing on this 2 long weeks there then? Well, Lets see... I have been doing data entry job for the operation dept. (domain training, it's so called), writting a bloody replica of a form into html and typing my CEO's emails from his notes (damn, and I thought my writting is damn hard to read) into his Outlook.
My spirit is beginning to demoralized as I spend most of my time at work doing absolutely "nothing". The programmer I'm assign under often comes to the office for a brief period before vanishing and I'm stuck with no task in hand as there ain't a IT Manager to delegate task to me. When I ask for task from other programmers, I get the "Ugh... I dunno wtf is ur task, so go bother someone else since I got alot of task in hand now" treatment. To top it all off, the operation manager had a fond habit of draggin me into her dept. to do data entry since her dept. is understaff. Sheesh...
Not all is bad though, I meet some new people at work most notable one is Mr Tah. Why I find him intresting? Well for someone who lacks communication skills, I find Mr Tah's communication skill indeed amazing. He is fluent in Chinese, Malay, English and Tamil. I seen him sweet talk others effortless. And best thing of all, he have some understanding of the IT unlike most ppl working in the co.
