...my days in ncu...

i was posted to chiang mai(north-chiang mai university - it is about 20+ km from chiang mai city. quite far away) for almost 5 weeks for work. the place? superbly amazing. the people? nice, humble, treats you with respect and soft spoken. two words - HONEST & SINCERE.



well, i was in ncu from aug 1 till sept 5, after which, i went to bangkok for a few days holiday. anyway, working in chiang mai is something different for me. the experience is totally different. just love it there. no traffic. no pollution. no need to drive. no stuck-in-ss2-jam. best of all, no need to pay for 3 meals a day. all covered by our partner in thailand. :D



chiang mai is a heaven for cheap food. korean bbq buffet for 89baht. vietnamese buffet for 80baht. steak buffet for 59baht. cool huh. shopping is sun bazaar is cheap. seriously, a dem nice place.

...idiotic and sickening email...

this is the most ridiculous, selfish, immature useless email i got from a HEAD OF DEPARTMENT. what? is this what a HEAD OF DEPARTMENT does? come on...gimme a break.



the story goes like this:

...i told pm, work not finish, kenot come back msia yet. not good to leave things hanging. pm said allen say must come back. pm ask to pass everything for egg to followup. i passed all to egg to follow up. argued with pm, saying if anything wrong, dun say mooi didnt do this or do that. i come back to msia. immediately start new project. 2 weeks later, pm complain mooi didnt complete this. allen shoot out this mail. so, its all my fault...





--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi All,

I understand all have tight schedule, but as professional we should finish our task and tidy up before we left any project and proceed to next. If that's not done, please tidy up now, don;t left something for someone to clean up.



allen

...yea, blame it on me...

terrible day...

seven early eight early received an email from idiotic pm from chiang mai pushing all the responsibilities more like BLAME to me everything. talk about giving solutions. hmm, maybe blaming is a more easy thing to do...



1. blame me for giving the wrong requirements to designer. (pm ask to send in the specs that is NOT signed to designer to design. of course la. specs not signed by customer, how to expect ALL requirements met? what type of pm is this? simple thing also dun understand. my fault cos pm ask me to deliver the specs tht was not signed. so my FAULT)



2. blame me for the system delivered is incomplete. (i asked to allow me to finish what i have started before i leave chiang mai, but rejected by pm. pm said must go back msia. now, client complain the system not complete. and its my fault cos i left chiang mai (forced by pm to come back) without completing what i have started. so, my FAULT)



3. blame me for not replying mail asap. (new project started here di in shah alam. daily seven early eight early wake up and rush to work. internet connection so dem hard to get. rushing for specs. didn go out for lunch. didn check email. so, my FAULT)



i always wonder the role of a pm. maybe its to blame people for doing things. maybe pm must have a scapegoat. hmm, stupid me "voluntereed" to be one. how ridiculous.



so, what is my position? die die also must work out the specs? but, i dun really give a dem anymore. i want to have a happy and stress-less life...



project manager-hod-boss? the hell with them....i am not being paid to work like that. wakakaz



ALL MY FAULT

...its all our fault...

...we are forced to do something that is incorrect and if problem arises, its all our fault...

...we are forced into following instruction, and if problem arises, its all our fault...

...we are forced to do complete things with an unreasonable timeline, and if not good quality, its all our fault...



...its all our fault that we did something correct...

...its all our fault if we voice out our opinion...

...its all our fault that pm is a ass-hole...

...its all our fault that department head is like a fish...

...its all our fault that mgrs are like that...

...so...

...everything is my fault...

...internet connection...

at CIAST!!!

finally got connection here liao. after one whole long week of asking them to fix for us. dem these people are pretty laid back man with their job. but got scolded for things we did not do. someone complain to the people here at CIAST and they got angry and came over and shouted, "apa yang tak betul?" blah blah blah...



so hard to get the user to come man. and my modules are library system and hostel management system. both also i dunno wht is it all about. and both also got no users one. and all their processes are manual. so my boss say, just give them what we alredi developed. and so, i have to learn up the system. and understand it, cos we alredi have the system, just a matter of giving it to them nia. but need to write the specs up and draw storyboard. dem. but until now, i still dunno where to start...



arghh..dem sickening man...but anyway, nice working experience here. now i know govt people are like tht...but some are ok lor. my user is ok one. but she is pregnant...wakakaz. going on maternity in dec...



working in chiang mai is much better...

...pcic...

pcic - programmers creativity and innovative camp.

held in legend hotel ( oh wow, INCOVAR upgrade to such extent liao) from saturday, sept 11 till sunday, sept 12.



was quite a fruitful discussion. i hope. things seems to be ok. ideas generated are great, but need LOTS of filtering. i hope the programmers have enough time to do all these. plus the act that they are going to put up. gosh, dunno if time really permits. but the programmers assured me that they will be disciplined enuff to work it out. they gave me their words worr...



we discussed on workshops, ice breaking, activities thru-out the camp, etc. most of the things to be planned for the camp were discussed. well, just need to filter out the ideas generated onli.



after the camp, we went to the dong zhen temple to check out the place. a very very long drive there. gosh. and jin song said it was onli 30 minutes from sjba. wakakaz. a huge place. nice environment. but too much rules there. hmm, wake up at 5 something? come on...i wanna sleep man...



well, all in all, the camp was good, the stay was fabulous. we came out with lots of ideas for logo, t-shirts, jig saw puzzle. well, sometimes i still think that the logo is a bit not abstract. but anyway, everyone loves it. so, its ok. expression of individual inspiration mah...



anyway...tiring weekend!!!

...just my first day...

just my first day here. got to know about it from a fren, aaron. can check him out at http://aaronation.blogspot.com

well, he is a cool guy. wakakaz. sometimes innocent. but i doubt he is innocent la. ok, will come back here later. head is spinning and mouth has this huge big gigantic ulcer. arghhhh!!!



okok. this is me...
