Bored with my job!

User feedback transaction error. Fix the error. Find out root cause. Suggest solution. Forward to developer if cannot find permanent solution.

There is no perfect system. Sure has loopholes here and there. So many systems and applications to support. Each system 1 error a day is enough to consume your 8 hours working time.

When there are new users, they made more mistakes, creating more errors. And they ask questions which already answered to the experienced users before. Still have to educate them so that they don't repeat same mistake.
It is lacking of systematic training process/program for new comers.

Every week need to submit weekly report. Every month follow up on the change request status.

On top of that, users have new system requests now and then. Need to gather requirements, propose system change, submit change request to developer team, wait for team to feedback when will this request be developed, users chase after you and ask when the request will be done.

.... boring.

What is the purpose of life?

I am turning 30 this year, and still asking this question.

What do I want to do if I have all the time and money and does not need to work?
I want to travel around the world with my love one.

What is so fascinating about seeing the world and experience everything?
A boh then, what else you want to do? Charity?

But now I still no money no time and still need to work wor. How do I achieve my ultimate goal?
Strike ToTo? But I don't gamble.

What else can I do if I don't work for people?
Don't know wor. No business skills, no selling skills. No networks.

What do I enjoy doing the most? How do I make money from doing what I like to do?
Sex. So... be a prostitute?

God says in his Words:
Matthew 6:33 -> But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
And in Proverbs 16:3 -> Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.'

We need to at least know what we want in life. Then only we know what to ask from God. Then only God can answer us.

What do you truly want in life?
I want... that if I die the next minute, I will die without regret of have not done anything in this short life.

God: err... how to answer your prayer wor. So abstract one.

Pull, not push

The clinic main door has a "Tarik" (Pull) sign, but the door can be opened both ways.
A primary school girl pull the door. An adult push the door.

Our company glass door has "Pull" sign at the entrance, and "Push" sign at the back of the door, but the door can be opened both ways.
> 95% of the time, people entering by pushing, not pulling the door.

Company policy clearly stated 'prohibited to browse internet which the activities are not related to work'. But there are still people who check webmail, facebook, friendster.. etc during office hour.

The "Need for Speed" game has shorter track(s) for each race. If you use the shorter tracks, you may be much faster than others and win the race.

If a written instruction/rule is meant to be strictly followed, besides changing human's attitude (which is a Vision), the only solution is to have solid solution aligned with the rule.
For example:
1. When the door says "Pull" only: make the door pullable and not pushable.
2. "Do not browse to non-work-related websites": block all webmails, facebook etc sites.

Arrested

Follow up from previous "Rat Wanted" post.

2-Dec-2008: We bought a 'rat sticker' and place it at the same place where we found the most rat stool.


3-Dec-2008: Same like picture above, except more rat stool.
4-Dec-2008: We follow our housemate's suggestion and put a bread on the 'rat sticker'. It was KFC's sweet bun.

5-Dec-2008: I was frightened by this black creature when I went into the kitchen early morning. And I got excited when I noticed it is the RAT! Probably it has struggled for whole night, until it's foot's skin peel off...

The best birthday gift for Alex --> mission to catch the rat is completed.


We didn't know what to do with this rat. Alex asked our 'all rounded secretary' in the company, and she asked us to quickly throw it away before it is dead. The whole house will stink if it dies in the house. So right after came back from work, Alex 'kiap' (fold) the rat sticker and throw it into the trash bin outside our house.

Stool story

I constipated recently. 1 day got output, 1 day no output.
1 day I had massive output, too massive until my stool blocked the toilet bowl. I flushed twice to make the stool go away.

Later Alex use the toilet, and toilet still stucked. Alex had to use toilet bowl sucker to clear the 'stool runway'.

I told Alex about my massive output which might caused the blocking.

Alex:"you should have cut your stool to smaller pieces when you pass motion."

Rat Wanted!


Length: 16cm (with tail)
Fur Colour: black

This morning 7:25am I went into the kitchen as usual to wash my shaker after finish drinking my Nutrilite Protein Powder mix Positrim enery drink. When I finish washing and turned around walking out of the kitchen, with my own eyes I saw a palm-size black rat ran from the kitchen to the living room towards the tv cabinet area.

Illustration in image:


It has been there for at least 2 weeks. It even went upstair, pee and poo poo on the small fridge and outside all bedroom doors. We got to expedite the 'catch the rat' mission before it turns our home upside down.

p/s: Thanks to my housemate JH for providing the "WANTED" picture.

Exam dream

During Sunday service, 53 years old Pastor Benjamin Yeoh mentioned he dreamt about taking Art exam last night and was unable to draw a thing. When he woke up:"Thank God it was just a dream!". He told us:"I wonder why we still dream about our school time which happened over 30 years ago."

The crowd laughed. Alex and I grin and winked at each other. Alex has similar dream few months ago when he is under work stress. Once in a while, he also dreamt of running and feeling tired when he wakes up.

Sometimes the dream seems so real. We thought it is true until we wake up and realize it was just a dream.

When I was younger, I dreamt about Michael Jackson visiting my house, Leslie Chong saved me from the dragon which mouth can shoot out fire, an umbrella-shaped big tree with a lot of swings and lovely little bears (the cartoon bears which their stomach has rainbow, heart shape etc) sit and swing on them, dinasour chasing behind and I ran towards a small wooden house on a straight small path surrounded by bushes taller than me.

Now I don't remember dreams that I had. I think it is good for health. If we remember what we dreamt of, it means our mental is tired or weak.

Things money can't buy

The Wednesday after recent Deepavali holiday is a weird day for Alex.
He went to TMNet to buy a modem as the existing one already spoilt. TMNet service counter informed him that the person in charge is not working, and the model he is looking for also no longer available.

His car ran out of fuel, so he went to his favourite "P" fuel station and surprisingly found that it was closed! Another "S" fuel station also closed. He ended up refill at "M" station.

Our favourite Chinese restaurant walking distance from our home also close on Wednesday. So we cooked dinner at home that night.

I told Alex:"there are indeed things that we cannot buy even though we have money!"

Sorry because I let you stepped on my foot

I am going down the stairs, and Alex is going upstairs. He accidentally stepped on my right foot.
"Oops! Sorry." I said.
I walked a few more steps, turned around and asked him:"You stepped on my foot. Why should I say sorry?"
...
"Oh, because it was my fault to walk my foot under yours. You never meant to step on my foot."
"Yes!" Alex answered with a big grin on his face.
