Good Example of World is never fair :(

Cook molested teen student
By Carolyn Quek
A COOK was fined $500 on Monday for molesting a 15-year-old male student in Clementi last year.

Goh Sin Choon, 49, admitted touching the left buttock of the teenager when he emerged from a toilet on the second floor of Block 344 Clementi Avenue 3 last July 6.

Goh's hand was still on his buttock when the victim turned around. The student brushed Goh's hand away and left the building before calling the cops.

Police did not nab Goh immediately but caught him a month later when the victim spotted him again.

Goh could have been jailed for up to two years, fined, or caned


Well well well, if this happened to a girl, i bet you my whole fortune that the guy would atleast get into jail and fined and caned at the same time. Just so pissed that when a guys butt is touched, its worth $500 bucks.

Reflection

I know i haven't been blogging lately but thats because i have been busy rotting my ass off since i got off my IPP on friday the 13 Febuary 2009. Now all that is left is waiting to be admitted into National Slavery.

Well it seems that in the last few weeks or so, i have come to realize many things. It seems that when i have free time and lots of brain power to expend, i start to thing of many things that are normally not thought of, i also experince things that i won't get to experience when i am normally busy with work or school.

I realize why people go to work, well mainly for money to support themself and their family if they have one, to buy things they like with the money they earn, but i think the main reason is to actually fill up the void from 8am to 5pm daily. You see, while sitting on my ass and rotting daily, i realize that without work, i would die of boredrom. Everyone is so busy with their other stuff and Singapore is so small that you can't really do much. What i would normally do when i go out are eat and play. Either LAN Shop, movies that just about it.

There isn't something that is really worth going out for anyway. And when i am not out doing those stuff, i would be at hope watching movies, anime or dota. And that is why people work, just to fill up that void of having to do nothing everyday.

Scary story to share...

Very Shocking!
This is a real story of a young college girl who passed away last month in
Pasir Ris .

Her name was Priya.. She was hit by a truck.

She was working in a call center. She had a boy friend named Shankar .

Both of them were true lovers. They always talked on the phone.

You would never find her without handphone.. In fact she also changed her
cell connection from M-One to Starhub, so that both of them can be on the
same network, and save on the cost.
She used to spend half of the day talking with shankar .
Priya's family knew about their relationship. . Shankar was very close to
Priya's family as well. (Just imagine their love) .
Before she passed away she always told her friends 'If I pass away please
burn me with my handphone' she also said the same thing to her parents.
After her death, people cld'nt carry her body, A lot of them tried to do
so,but still can't. Everybody had tried to carry the body, the results
were the same.
Eventually, they called a person known to one of their neighbours, who can
speak with the soul of dead person and who was a friend of her father.
He took a stick and started speaking to himself slowly.
After a few minutes, he said 'this girl misses something here.' Then her
friends told that person about her intentions to burn her with her phone.

He then opened the grave box and place her phone and sim card inside the
casket. After that they tried to carry the body. It was then moved easily
and they then carried her into the van.
All of us were shocked. Priya's parents did not inform Shankar that Priya
had passed away..

After 2 weeks Shankar called Priya's mom.

Shankar :.....'Aunty, I'm coming home today. Cook something nice for me.

Don't tell Priya that I'm coming home today, I wanna surprise her.'

Her mother replied, 'You come home first, I wanna tell you something very
important.'
After he came, they told him the truth about Priya.
Shankar thinks that they were playing a fool. He was laughing and said
'don't try to fool me - tell Priya to come out, i have a gift for her.
Please stop this nonsense.'
Then they show him the original death certificate to him.
They gave him proof to make him believe. ( Shankar started to sweat) He
said, 'Its not true. We spoke yesterday. She still calls me.'

Shankar was shaking.
Suddenly, Shankar 's phone rang. 'see this is from Priya, see this....' he
showed the phone to priya's family. All of them told him to answer. He
talked using the loudspeaker mode.
All of them heard his conversation.
Loud and clear, no cross lines, no humming.
It is the actual voice of Priya & there is no way others could use her sim
card since it is nailed inside the grave box.

They were so shocked and asked for the same person's
(who can speak with the soul of deal persons) help again. He brought his
master to solve this matter.

He & his master worked for 5 hours.

Then they discovered one thing which really shocked them.


Starhub has the best coverage
"Wherever you go, our network follows."

Lame joke that i found on the net lolz.... I think must be one of starhub marketing campaign or something. Maybe viral ads, anyway shall blog about the recent stuff in a few days if i feel like it :D

Haiz been a tiring but less taxing week. I guess my supervisor is also in the holiday mood and hence took a few mc which means i won't get so stress. Also i think my supervisor and i have an understanding of each other now since its into the 6th week.

In the past, she was always chasing me for work and such. And even said that i spending 4 weeks on an aspx page was dissapointing. I was quite moody for a few days :(

But that didn't kept me down for long as i was given another task and another task and alot of side task. Just like playing RPG games where there are side quest. Then i got to know that my supervisor was having pressure from her boss ontop. The VP of my company >.< and that was why she was so mean because apparently, the VP wanted to see work produced by the intern and i wasn't producing much work.

Although the aspx page was complex and was 700 lines long with my n-tier architecture, it was still an aspx page and what the VP wanted to see was more aspx page instead of a complex aspx page.

And then came the 5th week's special dish...... Meeting with the VP. Apparently, they had a year end progress meeting and the interns were asked to go also :(

Which means i had to meet that scary VP. On the day of meeting which was Xmas eve, my supervisor could not make it and hence it was cancelled. I thought i had a close shave until the VP came over our side and asked us to show her what we were doing.

I took the chance and dumb everything and the "wow" factor to her to see. Her comment was, i don't care what you do, i want it to be nice looking. You guys are young and creative, give me something nice.

I was like "wtf..." then she went over to my friend side and apparently, my friends aspx page was already uploaded online. And the VP went,

"Ohhhh you were the one who did this. Its very ugly you know? I was making a fuss yesterday at the meeting about how ugly this is yesterday. Sorry to be frank but i really feel this is ugly"

And to speed up the time to the meeting because i didn't do much for xmas and xmas eve because apparently my xmas eve half day is at 3pm and by the time i reach home, i got to sleep and woke up only for dinner. But can't complain much because one of my friend didnt have half day off for xmas eve. So all the lucky people who got off at 12 or 1, good for you D:

Anyway as i was saying, the meeting was terrible. My supervisor got shoot and the VP was like i don't wanna hear how you do it or why it is like that, i just wanted you to do it. Somemore said there was no right or wrong when obviously she was blaming everyone. But lucky for me, after reporting on what i did and getting shoot by her of not specifying a timeline, i was let off the hook and allowed back to my seat to continue my work ^_^

My supervisor was not that lucky as they had to continue on the meeting discussing about some other stuffs. And they discuss about it until 2-3pm and the meeting started at 930.

I think after seeing the pressure my supervisor was getting, i became more hardworking(??) I don't know, maybe i saw how much pressure and understand why some things my supervisor said made sense.

Anyway this is part and parcel of working for a big company like this. Bound to meet all kinds of people, the most rewarding thing i got from there would be the knowledge gain in programming, coordinating stuffs, dealing with unreasonable people, socializing, see how servers are mainain and also used including setting domains and stuff and file sharing and many more.

on a side note

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Haven't sign my blue book since day 1 week 1. So gonna get screwed :(

Seems like i have time today to blog, so here i am to record down my week worth of work that i did.

Well Monday was a holiday and hence i started work on tuesday which meant i had 1 more day to rest and instead of having the Monday Blues, i got a Tuesday blues.

Its been exactly 3 weeks from the time i started my IPP and the accomplishment that i have so far acheive is basically an unfinished aspx page.

Well the page that i am working on is the CompanyNews page. Seems like easy peasy right? Well wrong!! That was what i thought at first, CompanyNews, pffft i handled worst and i could finish it in less then a week.

I was totally wrong when i started on it. Not only did i have to get the right GUI aka Graphical User Interface, i had to choose the right colours for it and also the icons for it.

Having settle those, i already spent 1 week or so to get it and that was how my first week of IPP ended, customizing the page -.-

Well on the second week, i thought, hmmmmm this week is the week i am gonna finish everything. Then i got into another problem, how to display the news onto the page, i am not getting too technical here but basically it was quite hard to do that.(Don't come and tell me how hard it is to get the data from the database table and then display it onto a page..., its more then that :) )

Anyway having spent around 1-2 days on it, my shi fu came around and gave me the light to the solution. ANd hence my programming of the page was once again on track. I did the Add/Update/Delete and i found some troubles as well, the solution my shifu gave was good but it was also complex. Hence, i set out to solved it and that ended my 2nd week.

Last week, i thought that i was finish until my supervisor came around and wanted to change some changes. Hence i changed it according and then just yesterday, i was told to change it to another requirements. Well now i know why my fypj presentation, one of the lecturer told me. "User is King" hence i must change and that was how my 3rd was spent.

Now this coming monday at 1030am, i am expected to give a presentation on my page that i did. I hope its just to people in my IT Department and not those head of department, but i guess i am just getting too ahead of myself thinking why would those head of department wanna hear an intern talk about his work :X

Maybe just an informal one to brief those using my page on how to upload the news to the website and how to use it since my supervisor told me that every webpage that i am doing will be uploaded and used.

My friend told me that was good as what you did is being used by the company and hence would look good in your ipp.

Well i need this A for ipp seeing how my fyp may not get an A. But i am very sure that if there isn't an A for my FYP, i am confirm gonna get to the bottom of it and ask why. Flipping the table and banging the table would be my last resort.

Anyway today was fun going out with the rest... Did alot of things and played alot of things :D

A much needed update

Well its beens weeks since i last updated this blog. Many things have happen and i am sure it has completely changed the way i look at many things.

One things for sure, i may never ever wanna continue as a programmer after experincing hardship at my IPP Company >.<

I don't really hate my company or anything and its a nice place to work at with so many friendly staff and a very healthy canteen( they actually put up a poster with all the food that they are selling and categorising it under eat more, eat moderate and eat less)

The canteen also limits on the number of dishes you can order too. I always look forward to friday as its briyani day. Those who know me, knows that i cannot live without bryani when i see one and will rush to buy it. Even the rice is enough to last me.

I have also taken a hobby to drinking coffee every morning and afternoon. ANd i have started getting eyebags because i stay up late everyday to research on work -.-

Anyway back to my company, ST Electronics is my IPP company that i am currently attached to. Can't say much on what i see or do there because apparently, ST Electronics deal with Goverment Defence stuffs and i am not allowed to say much too :X Oh well nothing much to talk about what i see there anyway~

Well the department that i am assign to is ST Electronics(Training & Simulation System) side. What i do there is basically revamping their intranet portal as it is all in asp codes and all over the place. Mind you that asp and aspx is very different.

Anyway the first day of work, i was assign to do up their company news page. And i started coding on day 1 of my work. I asked one of my friend and he told me his company was in the understanding the project phrase~~ I envy them so much. But starting early also dosen't give me time to slack too much as i am prone to do that and keep my mind active. And i can't bring back my work to do because apparently they are afraid of me putting goverment secrets into my aspx pages and leaking it out :(

And i am so used to doing my work at home as i found out that i work well at night and not in the day >.<

Hence when i can't finish a work, i would have to leave it and go back home and do a simulation of my situation and then try and solve the issues at home using my own test enviroment.

I also later found out that my company's dosen't allow me to get .zip files off the internet and many others. It also blocks youtube( i wasn't slacking off and tried youtube, just that one of the steps to create a beautiful gridview was shown in gridview)

Now with all the negative stuffs about my company aside, i shall talk about the positive aspect.

I work in the IT Deparemnt in my department and basically we are in charged of all the internet, firewall and network security. I learnt that in webpages that you use to program, you can't use msgbox as it would not be shown when you upload it to a server. I also learnt that you can actually but a gridview inside another gridview. I learnt of datatables, datarows and many more. The amount of knowledge on asp is growing bigger and bigger. But my Shi Fu at the company also warn me of many things that i have always done wrong.

For one, my way of connecting the database based on graphic user interface is wrong. He told me that if one day i am not working on SQL but on Oracle what would happen? Hence my journey of learning stuff by typing instead of dragging and dropping.

I also learnt that i have a tenancy to do things first before asking if the person wants it or not as pointed out by my supervisor. And i also learnt that when you come back from a cold country, you tend to cough alot.

I also learnt that wearing formal wear everyday to work is a pain in the arse. Espically in my feet area, its hurting ;'(

And the best part is, i wanna be a in IT Security and not programming hence growing there would be a good thing as i can learn from the many network experts there and also one hacker :P

My shi fu also told me, you are not working in a real world now, you are working in a stress world :X

Oh well that probaly sums up my 2 weeks in my new IPP Company. And so far i have not successfully finish my designated aspx page. And on tuesday( monday is a holiday yay~~!) i have to finish it up.

Oh yeah one last thing..... I CAN'T BRING CAMERA HP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO oh well, the ends justify the means, so i will live with it ^_^
