>>> Polaroid <<<

There’s been a lot of things happening around me, and unto me; happiness of the people (psst.. Enol, congrats for finding “it” *winks*), success upon me (whee! I got a ThinkPad! Finally!), marriage among my friends (Dilla, you’re the first itisjan03 to be married. Congrats!) and much more other stuffs.

But still, when the nights creeping upon the world, swallowing the lights unto the darkness, it kills the mood to write about all the happiness that once, coloured the life in the morning.

Which heart doesn’t get lonely?

I’m calculating what’s left inside..
When everything I left were my life and my dreams..
And every time you were proud of what, you’re not..
This is the truth and it’ll be a history

And the memories will be playing wild to ring under the head. The destruction that it brings, the sorrow that it sow, the anger that still grow..

I gave you everything, I gave up my life and they were all for you..
you’ve ruined everything!
I gave you everything and I gave up my life
And it was all for you!

Even the most idiotic douchebag, will try to unearth the truth; which sometimes.. never there..

I wonder why it became like this,
when I’m not very sure (No, I’m not very sure)
After all the crossings we’ve been through,
it’s not suppose to be like this. Why?

Thus; it will swirl and twirl and round in a circle; with wrath putting a slam, and shaken the conscious.

And every time you’re fucking proud of what you’re not
I hate the truth but still it’ll be a history

But the questions never end. Until you realized, you were thinking of something, that is so past.

Is it worth for it to occupy your mind?

It’s even for me,
It’s even for you
Just trying to understand…

>>> Academic Initiative & The Power of Knowledge <<<

March 3rd, 2008 by [re-arrange] 15 comments »
The image above is a screen shot of keywords from my Nuffnangs. It shows me the keyword that people google to reach my blog here.

OMG! Someone was googling my real name!

LOL. I think I can point it out. Someone from MMU was googling me to know who I am. I am supposed to give a talk on a seminar entitled “Introduction to ZendCore“. For your information – ZendCore is a company who has been bought by IBM because of the capability of its software to integrate DB2 with PHP.

Ehe.. sorry.. not a lengchai maa!!

More or less, its actually a PHP library and a web server package. Only that it completes with the framework needed to work with DB2 database.

Come to my shock, the Academic Initiative in MMU is really active due to its IT Society. Wow! I am greatly impressed. MMU successes in uniting its IT students into one community!

Now I wonder why UTP don’t have that. Can the UTP FOSS team work to unite the students? A challenge for you, Yondie and Kage!

Knowing UTP in and out giving me a sad feeling – people there seems not to acknowledge the power of knowledge (hmm.. that rhymes). I salute the efforts taken by Kage to write an open letter to the Rector, yet – no actions were taken. Nothing happened.

Such an ignorance. UTP has been too much in a comfort zone that the students being pampered too much on academic achievement that it creates a dull Jack and Jane. And even my efforts of bringing Academic Initiative to UTP is hard. I wrote emailold;">s with no response.

Emails to the lecturers and yet the lecturers keep thinking about how to achieve their KPI! Ignoring my emails!! Is PETRONAS doesn’t have something called “Value Add” ?? (This was a confession by the mere lecturers. Really. “Push it to the Programme Head, Sallehin. Else, the lecturers won’t do anything because its not in their KPI“winking

No offense to the worker of PETRONAS, anyway..

For now, I am still trying my best to reach them to get involved in IBM Academic Initiative. It just pathetic to see their students going to internship but not equipped with enough knowledge or skills. Sometimes, not even the right attitude too!

You think you can survive by being spoonfed ka?

*sigh*

Enough with the rantings. Wish me luck in these two things:

Presenting in MMU this coming Thursday
Bringing IBM Academic Initiative in UTP

P/s: Yondie, want to try IBM DB2 Express-C replacing your MySQL? winking Try installing it in Ubuntu or Fedora. Let me know your feedback. It’s free, so it’s still FOSS (okay, its FS. Not really OS in the middle tongue)

Crappy Week, Crappy Template

March 1st, 2008 by [re-arrange] 5 comments »

This week is not the best week for me. Just a list down on what have been happening:

  • The workload has been increasing like crazy again
  • The AI team suddenly asked me to do presentation for the students (again, last minute)
  • There was a meeting in the morning. And I hate it.
  • I was supposed to take DB2 certification (Test 731) on Thursday
  • I even sleep early for that purpose – 2 days in a row
  • But suddenly it got postponed due to technical reason
  • So, whatever, I got to take it on Friday
  • I’ve lost my enthusiasm by then
  • I failed that test by 1% – passing score is 59%, I got 58%. Which makes it a miss by a question.
  • I try to retake that test again, thinking it will be the same set.
  • Unfortunately it is not the same set. And failed it again.
  • I spend my weekend trying to change the blog template.
  • And it becomes crappy. It seems that my blog – never have a purpose to be written.

Whatever. I guess the leap year makes the luck leap over me too for the day.

Informative:

1) Do you know that in Gmail, you can set your incoming mail to be archived right away? And your mail can be labeled as to rearrange your mails in inbox?

Check the Settings > Filters as well as Settings > Label. Credits to Yondie for telling me this. big grin

p/s: My email is always cluttered, make it Gmail or Lotus Notes. I guess I am not that keen of cleaning it up anyway.

2) Do you know that Pacmee‘s competitor is Twitter? You can post shoutout by using both of it, but Yondie has “poisoned” me to use Twitter. Not bad – can send your shoutout from web and SMS. But the looks of it kinda sucks though.

Ahh… need some space for myself.
