First Job - World Vision KLSSC

2011-09-23T19:00:00.000+08:00

Actually I started working two weeks ago on 12/9/2011 but I didn't update in my blog mainly because I am lack of personal time and I choose to wait so that I could 'finalize' my thoughts since my first impression always don't last long. =)
For those who don't know about it yet, I work as software tester in World Vision (WV) KLSSC which is in Plaza Hamodal, Petaling Jaya that is located beside Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman (Information Technology building), although the position in the contract that I signed is IT Specialist Customer Support. >.<

Actually, when I started to look for job, I sent out 6 e-mails, 3 responded, went to 2 interviews and 1 got me.
This company is the first company who interviewed me.
Lucky duh?
And they haven't take a look on any of my certificates yet. LoL~
Initially they intended to take me in using internship but I requested for a permanent position (Through e-mail).
Lastly, I got a contract position, which is renewable if I perform well.

I think many of you have heard about World Vision before and might be wondering why they need a software tester.
Let me explain then.
World Vision is a non-governmental Christian organization that focuses on helping children around the globe.
Rather than just collecting donations and give it to them, they focus on developing the area so that the people in the area able to survive on their own.
Usually, World Vision works together with organizations in the area to increase the quality of living in specific area.

World Vision is project based and there are a lot of grants to be managed.
Therefore, they need a system to manage all that and there is no system in the market that able to suit the requirements.
So they need to build one, the program is being outsourced to ISA Technologies but now they're taking it back to do-it-ourselves and the responsibility goes to Shared Service Centre (SSC).
World Vision got 4 SSCs and one of them is Kuala Lumpur Shared Service Centre (KLSSC).

Unlike other offices that collect funds or distribute funds, SSC focuses on technical and development part.
According to my supervisor, WV KLSSC is under World Vision Malaysia.
According to the big boss, it's higher than World Vision Malaysia.
I guess I make it on par, since everyone is doing different jobs. -.-
Anyway, I think we report to World Vision International, not World Vision Malaysia.

There are a few department in the office, such as Business Services Team (Which I am in now), Customer Support Team (Which I should be in) and few more.
The web application under development is a Project Management Information System named Horizon.
Currently, it's under Stage 2 Iteration 2 and I need to prepare it so that it can move on to Iteration 3.
Basically, my task is just testing the application according to the check list and learn the program well enough so that it will help if I will be transferred to CST or for my future tasks in BST.
Quite easy, for now..

Everyone in the office is multitasking, I mean doing several types of job regardless of the position by multitasking.
For example, a finance manager might do human resources work and many others.
Among nearly 50 employees in KLSSC, only 3 people are not Christian, 2 of them are Hinduism, and the last 1 is Buddhism. @.@
Luckily, my colleagues are nice. XD
I like the office environment and facilities, there is a water heater in the toilet. o.0

Since it's a Christian organization, there will be a devotion time every Monday after lunch around 2.30pm.
I don't mind participate in, but during praying time, sometimes I will fall asleep secretly. >.< Shh~
Then for each department, there would be an individual devotion period on other day.
So, I can choose to attend two devotions time each week to skip my work. XD

The first two weeks passed quite well, I am satisfied with anything except jamming in Federal Highway on the way back.
I can go extremely early to the office to avoid jamming to prevent wasting my money and time but I couldn't choose to go back early. T.T
Usually, I am the first one to reach office. I am the boss. XP
Luckily I got my own desk and a personal laptop.
At first my working hours is 8:30am - 5:30pm but later on I changed it to 8:00am - 5:00pm.
I think it helps a bit in reducing the time and money I wasted in the world longest parking lot.

Sometimes, I couldn't understand what the hell I am jamming for.
For instance, sometimes a straight path without any road link to the highway and there's no accident or car break down, the cars will just stopped, totally stop then move again and all the way smooth after that. GDI~
I cannot accept that lor~~
If I use a tank and run over non-stop in Federal Highway during peak hour, next day the highway will be almost blank. Muahahaha~

One secret, actually I am driving very dangerously few days on the first week, especially Monday.

I couldn't sleep on Sunday night, perhaps because of my upside down sleeping time, or sleep extremely late because of younger brother's car accident or over-excited. LoL~

I fell asleep while I was driving not only once, but several times until I reached my housing area.

Imagine that I could fell asleep while I was cruising around 90km/h on the right lane, sometimes when I am braking down (Sleep half second then wake and continue braking) and while I am waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
Luckily, I reached home safely and I didn't cause any troubles to other road users.

Ops, there was one time where I almost close my eyes when I was waiting my turn to pass the toll and I forgotten to put my smart TAG on the dashboard. Argh~ Shh~~
Oh~ I need to register a Skype account to communicate with my colleagues in office so I announce that I am on Skype now.

螃蟹放生

2011-09-18T13:00:00.000+08:00

籌備

第一次參加放生儀式。。
需要在吉膽碼頭上船，然後出海繞一圈回來。
好久沒去吉膽島了，碼頭變化好大，泊車方便很多，不過還是要走很遠。
還以為會去到吉膽島。。 -.-
也沒什麼好寫，唯一比較特別的事有人請喇嘛把骨灰撒進海裡。
想投訴說船那麼擠，為何那些人放生後不會坐回原位啊？
還有，我還以為一人放一隻，我放了一隻螃蟹後就很聰明的回到座位上。
結果就懶惰走回去幫忙，就在座位看別人被螃蟹夾，然後拿電話出來左拍拍右錄錄。XD
回去半途中下起雨來，還好不是狂風暴雨，不然鐵達尼號重演。>.<

喇嘛放生

蛟龍

雲山

呃～我手機拍照也不錯叻 XD

遠方下起雨

瑣碎

2011-09-16T03:30:00.000+08:00

計較小細節，非大丈夫所為，是嗎？
我說，小事情都做不了，成何體統？

會規劃，就一定是成功人士嗎？
規劃了不盡量配合實行，為何規劃呢？
跟著規劃實行，一定不會變通嗎？
或者說，我不會變通嗎？
值得思考～～

Khai Jie's Accident

2011-09-11T04:00:00.000+08:00

Another car roll over accident..

Well, not really roll over and not only one accident.

Of course I am not the driver this time, not because I flipped a car before, but it's because my accidents usually more serious one. XD

This time the driver is Khai Jie, my younger brother and the pity car is his Toyota Corolla AE101 (Auto).

It's time to say bye bye to the car already.

According to the driver, he was driving slowly (70km/h) toward Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) from Klang town area (Setia Alam) because the petrol tank was almost empty but normally he will tackle the corner with speed around 100km/h. -.-

The accident spot is the corner right below MPK after the new bridge over Klang River.
I wonder how come he got the chance to use that speed to tackle that corner while I don't have the chance. XP

Actually, the corner itself is a trap where after you turn, you need to turn a little bit more.

I think the main reason why the accident happened should be the rear tyres that remains unchanged after he changed the front set and it was after heavy rain.

The rear tyres skidded and after he realized he couldn't get the traction back, he hold the steering tight and stepped on nothing. (Kinda different with my situation.. LoL~)

Anyway, the car knocked the divider and somehow able to lean 'on' the tree.
Without the tree, the car might went into a big drain behind it where the relative of my parents' friend died in there few months ago. O.O

Luckily, my brother seemed alright, only hand and legs sore a little.
He did have hard time breathing but that's a few day later and not sure whether isn't because of the accident or the sickness he had.

Anyway, when I arrived at the scene, I parked my car a little bit far from the spot.

Not long after that my dad asked me to re-park my car nearer because it's "safer". Sigh~

And soon after I re-parked my car, another accident happened while me and my family were still on the spot.

A Naza Sutera (3 people) did a high speed cornering and skidded toward us!!

Luckily there were two cars (Perodua Myvi and Proton Perdana) that blocked the Naza Sutera from knocking the divider and roll over the ke po-ians otherwise it would be real bad incident.

But my car was just not even half-car distance in front the Perdana.

Thanks god my car was still safe, if not two AE101 might vanished in a night and I don't have transport to go to my not-yet-start workplace. -.-

I rushed over to the scene right after I'm sure the situation was safe, never been so ke po. -.-"

I quickly moved my car to another road behind MPK after that. Phew~

Since my dad keep pulling us far from the spot, I think even if the Naza Sutera really knock the divider and roll over my family will still safe.

After the second accident we stand even far behind.

Both of the innocent cars belong to the people who called the tow truck for my brother's car and his wife was inside the Myvi and going to leave.
Luckily, everyone was safe and sound.

As usual, after the tow truck pulled the AE101 down and damaged the top, we went to police station to make report.

Or I should type the next afternoon since someone doesn't bring her IC and there is no need to report right away after accident.

I should've steal the AE101 seat belt buckle. >.<

I would suffer after this. Aiks~
Unfair!! My mum nagged me almost all the way back Klang from Bukit Jalil when I performed last time but this time it's only short distance for my brother. T.T

Nasi Lemak 2.0

2011-09-10T04:00:00.000+08:00

First movie with my primary classmates, I think..
It's late night movie and I reached home on 4 due to yamcha session after movie. @.@

Actually quite tired already. >.<

A made in Malaysia movie.

There are many secret jokes planted throughout the movie and if you're non-Malaysian, you might not able to get the jokes.

Besides that, there are plenty of 'guai lan' (naughty) things being put inside the movie.

Namewee even play with the character name, you know I know la.. XD

I really surprised with Karen Kong's look in the movie.

In my opinion, it's really "made in Malaysia" movie.

The characteristic of Malaysia can be found in the movie.

The storyline itself might be so and so, but the way it's presented definitely won't make me bored.

Perhaps I should go and buy my first original movie to support him? XP

After all, Namewee said he will make the price of original movie as low as pirated one.

Will consider then..

Bukit Cahaya Melaka Trip

2011-09-02T23:30:00.000+08:00

I slept about 3 hours only before I woke up, fetched people and headed to the meet up place (Cheong Foh Cafe) to take breakfast.

After breakfast and some discussions, we decided to car pool and headed to Bukit Cahaya.

This is where my car misses the ass of other cars so much and decided to give a kiss.

I kiss my friend's car, not french kiss, just gentle touch. XD

However, this gentle touch made my bumper dented a little and the paint seems unable to hold on and Cracked. Sweat~

On the other hand, the other car just got a little scratch on the car plate.

Am I too blur or what?

Perhaps I am destined to kiss another car with my car once in a year to prevent myself become over-confident with my skills.

Or isn't because I am over-confident with my skills then only accidents happened? Hmm~

Actually I am quite confident (Because I always thought it's near enough but turns out it actually has some space still) with my distance judgement from the car in front but I don't know how that accident happened.
Road? Me? Wipers blocking my view? Different vehicle in front?

Never mind, just small matter to me. =)

Sorry, my friend. XD

When we reached Bukit Cahaya, the main gate was closed and written business operation will only start tomorrow.

There goes another long discussions and as a conclusion we decided to go Melaka. -.-
There was no proper planning and we're wearing sport wear. >.<
Luckily I brought another short pant (For Bukit Cahaya) plus I got a set of casual clothes in my car. XP
I don't mind wearing sport wear to Melaka but I need pockets. -.-
After meeting up at a friend's house, we started our one day trip to Melaka.

On the way, I was impatient again and start to drive faster after I was able to set the destination in my phone's GPS (Phone got problem).
Hopefully, I won't get any summons since I saw some policemen at R&R. >.<
We reached Melaka maybe about 2 hours later.

We were quite lucky too this time.
There was no traffic jam at the toll and I snatched a parking from another car. (The driver drove his car in snail mode) XD
Too bad the toilet was closed.

So we straightaway headed to Jonker Street.
All the way to Jonker Street, there was no jam.
Of course the cars and traffic lights slow us down but it's not consider as jamming, at least for me it isn't.
I could park my car right away when I reached the parking lot. Lucky~
Basically we walked around Jonker Street, capture some 'memories' at Melaka Clock Tower, Queen Victoria's Fountain and Christ Church Melaka, walked up Taman Merdeka, visited Dataran Pahlawan, hid inside Mahkota Parade, ate mille crêpe from Nadeje Patisserie Cafe and lastly had our dinner at Restoran Capitol Satay, ops.. Should be the restaurant beside it due to long queue. XD
While walking up Taman Merdeka, I saw a couple taking marriage photos and they 'ran' when I climbed to the top. Am I that scary? XP
Oh, I was able to find a 'hidden' parking area nearby Restoran Capitol Satay. LoL~
This is roughly what we did on that day.

I did enjoy myself from the trip, but frankly speaking this time they seem to be a little lack of spirit.
Some seems lazy to move around. -.-
Isn't because of the hot sun or lack of rest or tired of walking?
Eh, I also not enough rest and I need to drive leh.. XD
Well, this did not affect my mood and I really did enjoy myself throughout the trip.

I didn't inform my family about this trip to prevent my ears suffer from nagging therefore I didn't bought anything (No money also XD) except two useless car stickers.
I guess only two persons from Law's family knew that among others. LoL~
Of course, I shared with Uncle Law what.
I'm gonna stick them at my car and make my 'wife' uglier and more 'lala'. XP

When I examined my car next day, I only realized how serious the aftermath from the kiss is.
Besides that, I found some tiny scratches at the right hand side of my car.
I am definitely not the 'killer' and I am wondering when and how did the scratches 'appear' on my car. -.-
In my mind, if small sacrifices like the gentle kiss able to make the journey safe and everything goes on accordingly, I am willing to 'sacrifice'. XD
Perhaps I am little weird to think so but somehow the Penang's trip on last month also lead me to think like that.

Now then, what about next trip? Ipoh? Penang again? Johor? Singapore? XP
I guess next time if we go Bukit Cahaya again we need to wear casual wear or at least bring one set with us. LoL~
Pictures~

August 2011 Summary

2011-08-31T23:59:00.002+08:00

I guess I still wasted most of my time in August.

Finally I am willing start to type my resume out after coming back from Penang trip.

Of course I did sent my resume out, but only to few companies, not even ten.

I did that within several hours and after that I just wait for reply only. >.<

Two companies replied and it seems interesting to join both organizations, but the only problem is just salary. Sigh~

Many said RM2000 per month is too low. Aiks~

Let's see if I could get a job next month.

I think the Penang trip will stay in my mind for quite a long time.

I really enjoy myself very much at there.

Of course la, don't need to worry about anything else, just eat, play and sleep.

But I still don't understand one thing, according to Google Maps the distance from Bandar Bukit Tinggi, Klang until Inti Internation College Penang is about 380km.

That means if my average speed is 160m/h, I should reach in about 2 hours, but I need 3.

However, it makes sense if I calculate another way round.

My average speed is 160km/h and it takes 3 hours to reach the destination that means I must have traveled 480km.

So if a person average speed is 110km/h he should take 4 hours plus to reach destination.

That means Google Maps is wrong? But I think my odometer also shows roughly 300+ km. @.@
Or that means idiots who slows me down made me need to drive for additional one hour? Grr~

Anyway, there is a lot of reasons that makes me speed that fast, one of the reasons is everyone freaking me out with the 4 hours time needed to travel to Penang.

Now I've accomplished 3 hours, next target 2.5hours? XD

Besides Penang, I also got the chance to visit Sepang Gold Coast but too bad I couldn't enter the hotel.

Perhaps there is too much outsider walk in the hotel until the patrons complain.

Anyone staying there and willing to bring me in? =)

The sunset also not as beautiful as the sunset at Batu Feringgi since it's about to rain at that time.

Watched two movies this month with the same person but has bad experiences with idiot monkeys inside cinema.

There is at least one movie I wish to watch next month, will I watch it alone, with friend(s) or forget about it? Hmm~

Friends' Concern

2011-08-26T02:00:00.004+08:00

A friend called, 'reminding' me the priority of the things I should be doing.

I really appreciate that, although I think he thinks I don't know how to think, maybe I really am.

He said other than him, there are some other people that concerns about me.

I not really want to believe that, because I think the amount of people at Bukit Jalil that 'might' still think about me is very little.

Maybe the 'some' he mentioned meant the 'few' but he used the word 'some' to make me feel better? (He always said so)

He didn't mention who therefore I don't know who are the people that concerns about me.
To those who really care about me, thank you and I am doing really fine wasting precious time now.
Perhaps I will work a little harder to 'repay' your concern, or maybe I am already moving one tiny step forward. =)

關心自己

2011-08-24T06:24:00.003+08:00

最近在武吉丁宜劫匪猖狂。

籬笆內的外婆遲遲不把大門關上，擔心車內孫子有事。

車內孫子期望外婆趕緊關上大門，擔心劫匪乘機搶劫。

婆孫之間的關懷。

深夜遲遲不歸爸爸等候，父子之間的關懷。

夜深不歸媽媽致電催促，母子之間的關懷。

兄弟之間互相打架問候，兄弟之間的關懷。

考試成績不好教師責問，師生之間的關懷。

有了來自別人的關懷自己卻不關心自己，有用嗎？

愛•工作

2011-08-23T02:47:00.000+08:00

終於肯完成我的簡歷然後開始寄出去找工作。

一直以來我都懂這些事其實應該在六月或七月就完成的（六月頭考完試），可是遲遲不肯開始。

當初是想休息，休息着就變懶散了。

或者說其實應該怪自己的性格吧～

還沒處理完自己想要解決的不重要問題就不甘願向前邁步，而且不喜歡做這些‘無聊’的事。

通常別人打完檢查一遍就解決了，我卻要絞盡腦汁想個句子然後一直修改到滿意為止。超浪費時間的～

在部落格也一樣。。盡量改善着。。

今天工作不努力，明天努力找工作～

做愛做的事，還是愛上你做的事？

找着工作時，想到了以上兩個句子。

如果你不熱愛你的工作，你會做得開心嗎？

我們應該選一份自己喜愛的工作還是愛上自己的工作呢？

如果是選自己喜愛的工作，對我來說還是很難吧？

因為我連自己喜歡這麼樣的工作都不曉得。。

拋硬幣吧～問神吧～唉～

Sepang Gold Coast

2011-08-15T18:32:00.043+08:00

Went there with my younger brother.

A drop-by trip since we're on the way back from Inti Nilai, although the journey is unexpectedly long for me.

I suggested that, since I wish to find a nice place for dating, although I don't have another half that completes me. >.<
I can also come myself when I emo.. Cannot ka? -.-

The second seaside after Batu Feringgi, but in our opinion, Batu Feringgi is better and you'll see why later.

We were blocked by the guard and couldn't enter the Gold Coast Hotel. Sigh~

Besides that, the sky is dark and looks like going to rain.

Still, we walked into the sea until knee-level.
I feel a little itchy at my ankle when my foot is in the water, only me, I wonder why.
Although I just peel off a healing skin at the back of my foot, I forgotten that and step into the "Teh Tarik".

Our First Welcomer - Small Crab

Soapy Water?

Would you dare to step into it?

We guess they're Taiwanese based on their ascent

So called 'Teh Tarik'

Unfinished Crab

Free Hugs~

You're Too Ugly!

You Jump I Jump~

You Jump I Kick~

Skyline~

The sand that tickles me

Big Foot~

FYP Results

2011-08-12T22:25:00.000+08:00

Finally the results were released.

I am not going to 'show off' my results here since I think I can do better (If I really really want).

My results are just average.

I guess most of my friends did better than me.

However, I get to know that there are people whom also submitted EC form as I did to postpone the submission date for two weeks but their results are just half of mine.

Somehow, I felt pity for them and a little lucky for myself.

After all, a simple final year project with documentation done in three days plus some parts missing definitely shouldn't get high marks. >.<

The results were released right after I finally willing to do my resume but I guess I won't include the results into my resume until I am able to secure a job. Sigh~ XD

Lastly, good luck for my friends whom working on or going to do their final year project soon. =)

There is a living sample for people who like to keep delaying in front of you. LoL~

Rise of the Planet of the Apes

2011-08-12T01:45:00.005+08:00

I like the motto "Evolution becomes Revolution".
I was amazed by the graphic and keep wondering how they make it so real although many years back film like The Mask, Gozilla and King Kong were already not bad.

In my opinion, better than Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2 and Captain America that I watched recently.

And the ticket price is cheaper, I guess because of late night movie.

Watched with cousin, yet we sat in couple seat although my cousin is a he. >.<
Of course the seat was not bought by us, we bought the seats at another spot. LoL~

First time do so but why not, since the cinema is quite empty.

Last time when I watch Captain America, there is some distracting noise come from the entrance.

This time, they must have let some apes inside.

Sometimes, they laughed even though the scene is not funny.

But not only that, sometimes they talked so loud until I could notice even when the movie sound is loud.

I guess those idiotic apes need to get the retrovirus injection too.

Maybe overdose is necessary.

I was thinking to shout 'Diam lar~' to them, they wouldn't know if I did, I think.

Perhaps if I sit behind them eating popcorn, a little bit popcorn rain is good for their health.

Luckily my cousin decided not to sit at the normal seats we bought, since the seats are nearer to those apes.

I was in the cinema with some apes. GDI~

定位

2011-08-09T19:19:00.001+08:00

突發奇想，是否每個人都有自己的定位。

不管你如何努力，你始終會在那個位置。

不顧一切的去改變它反而會引起反效果。

也就是說，我應該做回自己，我的任務就是襯托旁人。

如果強迫自己做主角，是否會惹人討厭呢？

或許應該自己寫屬於自己的故事？

說話技巧

2011-08-08T12:58:00.023+08:00

我應該算是一個有自知之明的人吧？

也許還過了界。

事實是殘酷的，我知應該接受，不應該去逃避。

可也不用一針見血吧？

話人人都會說，但是婉轉的說話技巧不是人人會。

難道你們就沒考慮過別人的感受嗎？

還是你們堅持自己所說的是事實，所以沒關係？

希望我不會在心情非常不好的時候聽你們親口無心諷刺，也許我會發瘋將你們殺了。

罷了～大人不計小人過，小人犯錯是罪過～

Captain America: The First Avenger

2011-08-05T22:33:00.002+08:00

Just a normal movie only.

It's not like others said that Captain America is nothing without the shield.

Should there be any sequel? Hmm~

I mistook the female actor (Hayley Atwell as Peggy Carter) as (Rachel McAdams in Sherlock Holmes 2009 film).

I guess I need a new spectacle.

Invitation came right the moment I stepped into my home after Penang trip, from foster sister again.

After few hours almost non-stop drive (Just take a break when refilling petrol), I went out again.

She and her sister just wanted to waste some times while waiting for their friends.

This time I able to buy the tickets using debit card.

I guess TGV accepts debit card then.

The price of the ticket for TGV Bukit Tinggi seems very high. @.@

第一個景點

中頭獎，鳥屎從天而降

Ah Pom Guan

最不受歡迎的～

最特別的～
遇到朋友～

之前
三個人溜出來吃的

之後
最受歡迎的～

Gurney Drive
阿嬤跳舞～

聽說已經六十五歲
下着豪雨沒什麼人
載歌載舞
英語華語歌都會唱
身體還很會扭
拍子都跟上
現場好像比遠處舞台還熱鬧
我們抵達後看著她跳了幾首歌
感觸
五體投地

第二天～

靠右，轉左 o.0

別人的豆腐最好吃了～

終於來到沙灘了～
有點討厭他們拉客方式
後面那位阿伯好像在換褲

為什麼你這麼靜？

我在適當的時候才出聲

因為我一直用肺講話

拍了好久，相機沒電了

未經同意跑上去拍的
一個人RM20
玩了還要我們自己遊上岸 >.<

帆傘運動
一個人RM50

相機不見，原來在肚子上
等待夕陽西下
悠閒，浪漫

沒相片了，相機沒電，電話不見

之後搭渡輪回‘北海’
我承認在渡輪上我有點不開心
想多多

去吃碳燒火鍋，然後去吃Luk Luk
發覺電話在吃火鍋過後不翼而飛
雖然兩人在離開時已確認桌子上沒遺留任何東西
返回，沒那種命

七的倍數～

去7-11買水，回酒店玩牌

五個人的鋤大D～

笑死

第三天
去新天地吃了就回家
兜去Bukit Beruntung添油
回家～

整個行程好像都一直在吃，肚子都沒得休息。

不過我卻玩的很開心。

個人比較不計較吃的，好吃難吃只要吞得下照吃。

開心一定有代價的咯～
整個行程除了開始失算，也不見了一架手機，我的拖鞋開了鴨嘴，跟我車子看不見的傷。
不過整體來說都很順心，順利，最好不會收到傳票啦。>.<

關於檳城人那可怕的駕車方式嘛，個人認為還好。
在檳島駕了一天半，還是有人會讓我，難道是我太可怕嗎？XD
笨蛋白痴還是有的，也許比較多一點點啦，可是不該將所有檳城駕駛者都稱為同一類的。
也許是道路設計的關係吧，感覺就是不夠地方用，而且很容易轉到頭昏，不過很多近道可以“超”。

終於有線索如何去《天天好天》拍攝景點，好遠～

可惜割稻了，不然應該會去的。

不曉得還有沒有機會這樣吃喝玩樂～

July 2011 Summary

2011-07-31T23:59:00.042+08:00

What a pathetic month~

Whole month wasted doing nothing, or I should say doing useless things.

I think my memory about this month will be keep on formatting and troubleshooting my computer only. Sigh~

But at least I found the cause and the solution myself after wasting a lot of time and effort that I could use for other things, such as job finding.

Took lot of animations from my friend, and wondering if I could or will finish them. LoL~

My car finally fixed, since May 7. o.0

Didn't realize it has been that long.

And now, my wiper sprays are working well, but the directions.. Ha~

My results are out, and luckily I didn't fail. =)

What left only the grade for final year project.

Frankly, I hardly did anything for job finding, only one.

Still, I became frustrated when people concern about that. XD

I should probably focus on finding a job ~~next month~~ NOW. Aiks~

It's not that I want to be lazying at home, but just I lazy to prepare the resume and letters, not to mention my stubbornness.

As conclusion, one month wasted doing nothing. Aiks~

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 2

2011-07-31T18:16:00.001+08:00

Decided not to give any ratings for the movies I watch anymore. Meaningless~

Actually, I just realized I didn't watch all the Harry Potter film series last night and the last Harry Potter film that I watched until asleep was the sixth installment.

I know why after searching for the seventh installment part one release date.

Since I didn't watch the first part, I surely lost a bit when the movie started.

Perhaps that's why I feel the movie so and so only. Average I mean.

Maybe in future I should watch all the Harry Potter film series at once with subtitles. XD

Watched with my foster sister and her friend after their famine 30 committee's meeting.

外表•內涵

2011-07-28T09:38:00.002+08:00

表裡不一？

外表看起來是有刺，剝開外層裡面也不過是平常的包子而已。
多此一舉？
反正也是吞下肚變屎，為何要費功夫多做那些刺痛嘴唇的刺。
華而不實？
樣子是蠻可愛又吸引人，但是內在好像根本不值一提。

不管怎樣也好過一個外表與內涵都沒具備的攝影者吧？
呵呵～

This Is Your Life

2011-07-25T16:59:00.002+08:00

This is your life.
Do what you love, and do it often.
If you don’t like something, change it.
If you don’t like your job, quit it.
If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV.
If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love.
Stop over analyzing, life is simple.
All emotions are beautiful.
When you eat, appreciate every last bite.
Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences.
Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them.
Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself.
Some opportunities only come once, seize them.
Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them so go out and start creating.
Life is short.
Live your dream and share your passion.

The Essential 55 by Ron Clark

2011-07-24T12:09:00.002+08:00

Rule 1

When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No sir.” Just nodding your head or saying any other form of yes or no is not acceptable.

Rule 2

Make eye contact. When someone is speaking, keep your eyes on him or her at all times. If someone makes a comment, turn and face that person.

Rule 3

If someone in the class wins a game or does something well, we will congratulate that person. Claps should be at least three seconds in length with the full part of both hands meeting in a manner that will give the appropriate clap volume.

Rule 4

During discussions, respect other students’ comments, opinions, and ideas. When possible, make statements like, “I agree with John, and I also feel that…” or “I disagree with Sarah. She made a good point I feel that…” or “I think Victor made an excellent observation, and it made me realize…

Rule 5

If you win or do well at something, do not brag. If you lose, do not show anger. Instead, say something like, “I really enjoyed the competition, and I look forward to playing you again,” or “good game,” or don’t say anything at all. To show anger or sarcasm, such as “I wasn’t playing hard anyway” or “You really aren’t that good,” shows weakness.

Rule 6

If you are asked a question in conversation, you should ask a question in return. Me: “Did you have a nice weekend?” You: “Yes, I had a great time. My family and I went shopping. What about you? Did you have a nice weekend?” It is only polite to show others that you are just as interested in them as they are in you.

Rule 7

“When you cough or sneeze or burp, it is appropriate to turn your head away from others and cover your mouth with the full part of your hand. Using a fist is not acceptable. Afterward, you should say, “Excuse me.”

Rule 8

“Do not smack your lips, tsk, roll your eyes, or show disrespect with gestures.”

Rule 9

“Always say thank you when I give you something. If you do not say it within 3 seconds after receiving the item, I will take it back. There is no excuse for not showing appreciation.”

Rule 10

“When you are given something from someone, never insult that person by making negative comments about the gift or by insinuating that it wasn’t appreciated”

Rule 11

“Surprise others by performing random acts of kindness. Go out of your way to do something surprisingly kind and generous for someone at least once a month.”

Rule 12

“Occasionally we may grade each other’s papers as a group. When grading other students’ papers, if you give someone an incorrect grade, whether it is higher or lower than they deserve, the amount the grade differs from the actual grade will be deducted from your paper. The only marks you are allowed to make on others’ papers are an “X” and the number they got incorrect.”

Rule 13

“When we read together in class, you must follow along. If I call on you to read, you must know exactly where we are and begin to read immediately”

Rule 14

“Answer all questions with a complete sentence. For example, if the question asks, “What is the capital of Russia?” you should respond by writing, “The capital of Russia is Moscow.” Also, in conversation with others, it is important to use complete sentences out of respect for the person’s question. For example, if a person asks, “How are you?” instead of just responding by saying, “Fine,” you should say, “I’m doing fine, thank you. What about yourself?”

Rule 15

“At times throughout the year, I will give rewards for good behavior, academic performances and other acts worthy of praise. If you ever ask me for a reward, however, it will not be given. It is rude to ask if you are getting something for good behavior. You should be good and try your best because you are trying to better yourself, not because you are anticipating a reward. I usually give some sort of reward to everyone who scores 100 on unit tests. If you make 100 and ask if you are getting something, no one who made 100 will be given anything.”

Rule 16

“Homework will be turned in each day for each subject by every student with no exceptions.”

Rule 17

“When we are in transition from one subject to the other, the change will be swift, quiet and orderly. We should be consistently able to turn from one book to another, complete with all homework and necessary materials, as quickly as possible. The opportune amount of time to spend in transition should be less than ten seconds, and we will work toward a goal of seven seconds.”

Rule 18

“You will make every effort to be as organized as possible.”

Rule 19

“When I assign homework, there is to be no moaning or complaining. This will result in a doubled assignment.”

Rule 20

“While you are with a substitute teacher, you will obey the same rules that you follow when I am with you. (I know this is hard, but it is important.)”

Rule 21

“We will follow certain classroom protocols. We will be organized, efficient, and on task. In order to do so, we will follow these rules:

1. Do not get out of your seat without permission. Exception: If you are sick, leave immediately.

2. Do not speak unless:

-You raise your hand, and I call on you.

-I ask you a question and you are responding.

-It is a recess of lunch.

-I instruct you otherwise (for example, during group work).”

Rule 22

“You may bring a bottle of water and leave it on your desk. Do not ask me if you can get water while I am teaching a lesson. You can even have food at your desk as long as others don’t see it and I don’t hear you eat it.”

Rule 23

"Quickly learn the name of other teachers in the school and greet them by saying things like, "Good morning Mrs. Graham," or "Good afternoon Ms. Ortiz. That is a very pretty dress." (Note: If you are in line with the rest of class, you are not allowed to speak to the teachers at that time because the no-talking rule is in effect. You should speak to other teachers if you are entering or leaving the school, on recess, on an errand, or changing classes.)

Rule 24

"Flush the toilet and wash your hands after using the rest room. When in a public rest room, get a paper towel before washing your hands. After washing your hands, use the paper towel to turn off the faucets and to press the dispenser to get another paper towel to dry your hands. (Or use the towel to press the button to start the dryer.) The last thing you want to do is touch areas with clean hands that others have touched with dirty hands."

Rule 25

"We will often have visitors to our school. If someone is coming to visit our class, I will send two students to the front door of the building. You will have a sign welcoming the person. When our visitor arrives, you will shake hands, tell him or her who you are, and welcome the person to our school. You will then take the visitor on a small tour of the building before bringing him or her to the classroom."

Rule 26

“Do not save seats in the lunchroom. If someone wants to sit down, let him or her. Do not try to exclude anyone. We are a family, and we must treat one another with respect and kindness.”

Rule 27

“If I or any other teacher in school is speaking to or disciplining a student, do not look at that student. You wouldn’t want others looking at you if you were in trouble or being reprimanded, so don’t look at others in that situation. If you are the student I am talking to, do not get angry or fuss at students who are looking at you. Let me know and I will handle the situation.”

Rule 28

"If you have a question about your homework, you may call me. If I am not there to answer the phone, please leave a message in the following manner: "Hi, Mr. Clark, this is _______________. I need help with the _______________ homework. You can call me back until ___:00. Thank you." There is no need to leave this message fourteen times."

Rule 29

“There are several manners dealing with food that you must follow: I call these my ABC’s of Etiquette.

A. When you first sit down for a meal, immediately place you napkin in your lap. If you silverware is wrapped in a napkin, unwrap it as soon as you sit down and place the napkin in your lap.

B. When you are finished eating, place you napkin on the table to the left of your plate. Place it loosely beside the plate. Don’t crumple it, because you don’t want to seem untidy. Don’t fold it too neatly, because you don’t want the restaurant to think you assume they are going to use it again. Never leave your napkin on your chair. This implies that the napkin is too dirty to be left on the table. Also, in some cultures, leaving the napkin on the chair is known as a way to say that you don’t intend to return to the restaurant again.

C. Never place you elbows on the table.

D. Use one hand to eat, unless you are cutting or buttering food. Never have your fork in one hand and a glass in the other.

E. Do not lick your fingers. There is a napkin provided for the purpose of cleaning your fingers. There is no need to lick your fingers clean.

F. Do not smack you lips or chew noisily.

G. Do not chew with your mouth open.

H. Do not talk with your mouth full. Sometimes people will place a hand over their mouth and talk anyway. Don’t do that. Wait until you have swallowed your food to speak.

I. If something is caught in your teeth, don’t go in after it; wait until you are in the rest room to remove it.

J. Do not slurp.

K. Do not play with your food.

L. If you drop your fork, napkins, or anything else on the floor, DO NOT picks it up. It is very rude and unsanitary to place something on the table that has been on the floor. If you pick up something that has dropped and hand it to a waiter, then you will need to excuse yourself and wash your hands before continuing with your meal. The best way to handle a situation when something has dropped on the floor is to ask a waiter for a replacement; leave the old one on the floor.

M. You are to use your utensils for eating almost everything. Here are ten types of food you may use your hands to eat:

1. Pizza

2. Bacon

3. Cookies

4. Bread (Always tear off a bite-sized piece to eat. If you are going to use butter, never butter the whole piece of bread; butter the piece you tore off, and eat that before tearing another piece.)

5. Corn on the cob (It is appropriate to eat across instead of eating around.)

6. Hot dogs, hamburgers, and sandwiches (including breakfast biscuits)

7. French fries and chips

8. Fried chicken

9. Asparagus (yes, asparagus)

10. Small fruits (like grapes on a stem), apples, oranges, carrots, etc.

N. Never reach over someone’s plate to get something. You should say, “Will you please pass the salt?”

O. Never start eating off of your tray until you are at your seat.

P. When we are eating at a restaurant, you are not to begin eating until everyone at the table has received food.

Q. You should never complain if the line is too long, the food isn’t good, or if there is a wait. You don’t want to be negative to the point where you spoil the enjoyment of the event for others.

R. If you are unsure which silverware to use, simply start with the fork, knife or spoon that is the farthest from your plate. On the left, you will have your salad fork on the outside and your dinner fork on the inside. On the far right, you will have your soup spoon. Beside it you will have the spoon you will use to stir your coffee or tea, then your salad knife, and then your dinner knife. The utensils above your plate are to be used for dessert.

S. When you are finished eating, do not push your plate away from you. Leave it where it is in the setting. If you want to show you have finished eating, you should lay your fork and knife together diagonally across the plate. You should place the fork with the tines down, and you should have the sharp side of the knife facing down. Of the two utensils, the fork should be closest to you.

T. Never place a piece of silverware that you have used back on the table. Leave it on a plate or saucer.

U. If you didn’t use a utensil, do not place it on a plate or saucer when you are finished. Just leave it where it is.

V. Always look a waiter in the eyes when you are ordering, asking a question, or saying thank you.

W. Make a point to remember the waiter’s name when he introduces himself to you. Use his name as often as possible throughout the course of the meal.

X. If you have to go to the rest room, you should stand up and say, “Excuse me,” as you leave the table.

Y. When you are offered desserts or asked a question such as “What sides would you like?” or “What dressing would you like for your salad?” it is best to ask, “What are my options?” That way, you aren’t going through a process of naming things the restaurant might not have.

Z. Never talk to waiters or waitresses as if they are servants. Treat them with respect and kindness. And remember, they are the ones who are fixing food and bringing it to you. You do not want to be on the bad side of a waiter.”

Rule 30

“After we eat, we will clean up after ourselves. This includes cleaning off the tables and making sure we haven’t left any trash on the floor or around the eating area. It is important to be responsible for your trash no matter where you are and to be sure not to litter.”

Rule 31

"When we stay in a hotel room, it is appropriate to leave a tip on the pillow for the hotel workers who are responsible for cleaning the room after our stay. Two to three dollars per night is an appropriate amount, depending on the cost of the room."

Rule 32

“When we ride on a bus, we will always sit facing forward. We will never turn around to talk to other students, stick anything out of the windows, or get out of our seats. When we exit the bus, we will always thank the bus driver and tell him to have a good day.”

Rule 33

"When we go on field trips, we will meet different people. When I introduce you to people, make sure that you remember their names. Then, when we are leaving, make sure to shake their hands and thank them, mentioning their names as you do so."

Rule 34

"Whenever you are offered food, whether it is on a buffet or treats in class, never take more than your fair share. You never want to be greedy and try to get more than you should, not only because it is wasteful, but also because it is disrespectful to others when you do not leave enough for them."

Rule 35

"Whether we are in school or on a field trip, if someone drops something, pick it up and hand it back to them. Even if they are closer to the object, it is only polite to make the gesture of bending down to retrieve the item."

Rule 36

“If you approach a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through it first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door open after you push through."

Rule 37

"If we are on a field trip, it is a good idea to compliment something about the place where you are visiting. For example, if we visit someone's home, it would be a nice gesture to tell them that you think they have nice curtains. People are always self-conscious when they have guests visit their home, so you want to make them feel at ease. Also, if we are visiting other places, such as a museum or theater, it would be nice to comment on how beautiful the architecture is or to tell the guide that you think the facility is very nice."

Rule 38

"During an assembly do not speak and do not look around and try to get the attention of your friends in other classes. We must uphold an image that shows we have our act together."

Rule 39

“If we are on a field trip, it is a good idea to compliment something about the place where we are visiting. For example, if we visit someone’s home, it would be a nice gesture to tell them that you think they have nice curtains. People are always self-conscious when they have guests visit their home, so you want to make them feel at ease. Also, if we are visiting other places, such as a museum or theater, it would be nice to comment on how beautiful the architecture is or to tell the guide that you think the facility is very nice.”

Rule 40

“During an assembly, do not speak and DO NOT look around and try to get the attention of your friends in other classes. We must uphold an image that shows we have our act together!”

Rule 41

“When you answer the phone at your house, you must do so in an appropriate manner.”

Rule 42

“When we return from a trip, you will shake my hand as well as the hands of every chaperone. You will thank us for taking the time to take you on the trip, and you will let us know that you appreciate having the opportunity to go. I am not concerned with being thanked; I am concerned with teaching you that is it appropriate to show appreciation when someone has gone out of his or her way to help you.

Rule 43

“When we are on field trips and we have to go up escalators, we will stand to the right. That will give other individuals who are in a hurry the option of walking up the left-hand side of the escalator. When we are going to enter an elevator, the subway, or a doorway, we will wait for others to exit before we enter."

Rule 44

"When in a line; walk single file, two to three feet behind the person in front of you with your arms at your sides. You should face forward at all times. There will be absolutely no talking."

Rule 45

“Never cut line. If someone cuts in front of you, do not say or do anything about it. Let it happen, but let me know about it. I will handle the situation. If you fuss with someone who has cut in line, you could get in trouble as well. It’s not worth it; just let me know what happened. Please handle all disputes with other classmates in the same manner, by coming to me with any problems before you take matters into your own hands."

Rule 46

“When we go to a movie theater

Rule 47

"Do not bring Doritos in the school building."

Rule 48

"If any child in this school is bothering you, let me know. I am your teacher, and I am here to look after you and protect you. I am not going to let anyone in this school bully you or make you feel uncomfortable. In return, I ask that you not take matters into your own hands; let me deal with the student."

Rule 49

"Stand up for what you believe in. You shouldn't take no for an answer if your heart and mind are leading you in a direction that you feel strongly about."

Rule 50

"Be positive and enjoy life. Some things just aren't worth getting upset over. Keep everything in perspective and focus on the good in your life."

Rule 51

"Live so that you will never have regrets. If there is something you want to do, do it! Never let fear, doubt, or other obstacles stand in your way. If there is something you want, fight for it with all of your heart. If there is something you want to do, go for it and don's stop until you make it happen. If there is something you want to be, do whatever is necessary in order to live that dream."

Rule 52

“Accept that you are going to make mistakes. Learn from them and move on.”

Rule 53

“No matter what the circumstances, always be honest. Even if you have done something wrong, it is best to admit it to me, because I will respect that, and oftentimes I will forget any disciplinary measures because of your honesty.”

Rule 54

“Carpe Diem - You only live today once, so don’t waste it. Life is made up of special moments, many of which happen when caution is thrown to the wind and people take action and seize the day.”

Rule 55

“Be the best person you can be.”

What if every school starts implementing this rules?

Isn't possible? LoL~

Now that you've read finish The Essential 55, why not you try to find "The Excellent 11" for me? =)

Love first 'hear'..
Even before I figure out the name and the lyrics meaning.

Like the rhythms..
Like the vocal (Certain parts)..
Like the lyrics..

Like the band pictures (Few)..
