Some shot on Wesak Day @ Brickfield

Last weekend was the Wesak day celebration and I went to the Buddhist Maha Vihara temple with my nephew and my friend Christine. We were there around 11am * i think and everywhere was full of parking . Some resident who are smart enough to offer their house parking space with RM4.00 and some kids whose I believe the resident near by started collecting money for the parking space. I was park my car @ the near by basket ball court with RM 5.00. Now you can see how the parking business earn in such a way. Ha..ha!

This year is less crowded compare to last year. Along the journey to the temple, there are so many beggars, begging in the middle of the road. As usual, many people sells vegetarian, CDs and VCDs, mineral waters, balloons and you name it, they have it! It's all there! Once we were @ the temple, there was a long queue towards the Buddha Hall where they asked for blessing and holy water.However, we didn't get to go in there as the queue was really long and crowded. So we just prayed outside the hall.

I personnally brought some lilys and a white chrysanthemum flowers as an offer to the buddha. Flowers are really really expensive nowadays. I bought it from the market and it costs me RM 20 for all. Listen! It's a pair of lily and a white chrysanthemum.

I myself brought my own Canon 450D and I saw there are alot of photographers around too :) Some are with their "glamour" lens! Awesome! I bet they must have taken some very nice pictures. For me, I only manage to take few shots because I need to take care of my nephew most of the time. The following are the shot that I have taken:

Last minutes shot

Last week, I was invited to my friend daughter's fullmoon event. I admited that I was late to the event and was there about 9.45pm after settling all my ding dong ding dong stuffs. Luckily, I still got a chance to take a few shots of my friends with her daughter. The place was quite dark actually and I was quite worried that the light might affect the outcome of the photos. Actually, I took quite alot of shots. However, I only managed to edit few shots with the nice effects. Please take a look at the following photos. Oh yeah, lately, I found a very good site that talked about the Photography Tips and there is an articles about "How to photograph children". I admit that I should have browse throught this article first so that I can do better on the full moon event. Anyway, never late if I am willing to learn!

How to RESET the IPOD?

Recently, I am really frustrated using my IPOD classic 120GB as it got hung while selecting songs from different albums or artists. As you may know that there is neither any on and off nor the so called RESET button to reset the IPOD when it got hang! Hence, the following steps is what I got to reset my IPOD while it got HANG + Unresponsive!

1. First of all, you got to toggle the "Hold" switch from on and off
2. Then HOLD the "MENU" and the middle "Select" button until....the "Apple" logo appear from the screen.

That's it! Sounds simple enough? Complicated problem but easy solution :P

Personality Test from Facebook

This morning my sister had tagged me so called a personality test to my facebook account. I couldn't get to login to my facebook due to the stupidity of the "client" blocked most of the websites which kills our boredom. So now you can imagine how BORED I am in the office without Facebook! Hence, I logged into my facebook at 2.15 am and do the test which my sister sent me earlier. The following is the result of the personality test and I personality think that it's so accurate!!!!!!!!

Your view on yourself:
You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:
You are a true romantic. When you are in love, you will do anything and everything to keep your love true.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:
You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:
Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education:
Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:
You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:
You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:
You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:
You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

That's all I have!

So fucking shitty

I am so fucking shitting these few days with the mixed feeling that I had. Aimless, restless and had a sleepless night. Looking @ people around me, I have the sense of "unknown" feeling especially when joining the crowd. Why am i having such a problem and where and what is the problem?

First blog of year 2009

Happy New Year! Yesterday, while I was driving back home + listening to a radio DJ was talking about clearing the annual leaves for CNY, she reminded me of the last year CNY when working with my ex-company. Honestly speaking, this year I got the longest CNY leaves ever without pressure comparing last year. So, I called Mei and talk about it and she had even a longer leaves than mine. From the first of CNY till the end of CNY.

I wasn't hear alot from Yuen Chi and I guess he must be really really busy with his product lauching event. Anyway, just wanna wish him "Happy New Year". And time really moves furiesly, I just hope that this year will be better and everything goes fine according to the plan.

Good news of the day

Seeing some of my friends who has being a mum and dad makes me feel that it's time to settle down. However, seeing the current condition of mine, it's not the time yet!

I believe the time will comes......

Appreciation moment

Date: 30 October 2008

Time: From 6.30PM-1.00AM

I had an italian dinner with my 2 beloved ex-colleague yesterday. The dinner was suppose to mean for the Maven talk but ended up Fennie and Yuen Chi has treated me an expensive and nice italian dinner for my birthday and of course we do talk about Maven too :) I have so called showed off my new Canon 450D SLR to yc yesterday and taken few shots around the restaurant during the dinner. Talking about Maven, now i learnt about "Cargo". Of course this "Cargo" is not about the "Airport Cargo". This is about the Maven Cargo. Right! I am not suppose to blog about technical in this blog. I suppose to blog about my feeling towards these 2 dinner. Let me go one by one. Before we ordered any of our main course, the waiter brought us a plate of "high class bread" and pour us some "olive oil + wine" (if i am not mistake) on a plate. The way of eating it is by taking the bread and dip into the combination of olive oil and red-wine then "EAT"!! Ma ma mia! It's soooooooo delicious! The taste was a little bit sour,bready taste and of course olive oil! Say till the end, cakap sampai habis, kong tou sai... ICHIBAN-NEH!

The we ordered a spagethi (not sure what it called) and a Chicken PARMIGIANA( i think should spell like this-not sure)... and that's the portion for 3 persons.Oh yeah, not to forget, we ordered a Pizza too and it's a beef pizza. I actually don't take beef and yesterday it's the first time ever i are b eef with intention.Sh....don't tell my mum about it. Else I bet she will nag me from morning till night! We finished that dinner around 9PM.

The next round was at 10.30pm which was organize by Christine. OK,let me roughly describe "Who is Christine". She is the first person that I knew and who sat next to me when the first time i entered my first year of my PRIMARY SCHOOL! Let me do a little of promotion about her.... she is a nice girl, a vegetarian, and now she is a teacher,a person who like to do charity. Again,say till the end, cakap sampai habis, kong tou sai...a first class "Girlfriend" for her future boyfriend or husband.

Talking back about the dinner. Actually not dinner, it should be a supper. Su, Pauline and Christine had bought a cake for me yesterday. OMG! They sang the "Birthday Song" at the mamak. So happy! We talked about Pauline's passport story and also some jokes. Ha..ha..I don't know why I was so bloody damn happy yesterday. Maybe because of the "Thick Chocolate Cake" and also

bottle of Heineken.

For here, the most important person that I would like to thank is my mum and dad for bringing me to this world and knowing a bunch of wonderful people. My birthday is a shared birthday of my mum and dad. This morning, I got a wish from my DAD and he gaves me a big big hug! OMG! My dad never hug me this tight before! Each time when I write about them, I can feel my tear is dropping and emo! *Sob**Sob*

Secondly, the person that I would like to thank is my boyfriend who really really being so supportive. He knew that I wanted to venture into the photography world, so he bought me a new CANON 450D SLR. Each time when I am into a difficulty, he is the first person who stand on the line with me and I am glad that I have him in my world. However, one thing that I missed was his birthday wishes. I believe a wish is more important than a material. *Sob**Sob* But nevermind...

Thirdly, thanks to Fennie, Yc, Christine, Su and Pauline for giving this wonderful memory and moment. As I said earlier, my principle is simple- It is not about what will happen, it's all about now and this moment! You guys had make the different!

Lastly, thanks for all who wishes me via the SMS.

I love you guys!

With full of emotions,

Kay Nny

Another year is coming.......

Recently, I have created some objectives (in another word of KPI)for the next performance review. One of the objective is to blog about the technology that I have learn along the project that I have done in the past 3 months.

Well, I am doubt duh. I do learn a lot of things about DOJO, DWR and spring but I found out that I have the difficulty to write about what I have learn. Y

Yesterday, someone was asking me what am I doing in my currently company? So, I told him that I am working on the web development using AJAX and Web2.0 Technologies. And he asked me what do you used to develop? Then I told him that I am using DOJO, DWR and spring framework. Before I finished my words, eventually, "Someone" immediately interrupt the conversation, answer and explain all those questions on my behalf. Is it because the way that I answer is wrong or I do not know what actually I am doing? Why do I need someone to answer on my behalf?!

I am still wondering if I am OK to stay in the IT World or should I do something else? Do I have the talent to write down things that I have learn if I am asked to write a technical blog or no? I believe I am still searching for the right answer for that and it would be a main challenge for me.

Along the journey while driving back home, I have a lot of thoughts of "What have I done so far in the year of 2008? As everyone know that the year of 2008 will be ended soon and it's only 2 months left! I remember last year, I have written a blog on my birthday and the blog was also about the same as this year and each year, I keep on asking myself the same question which is "WHAT HAVE I ACHIEVED THIS YEAR?" and "WHAT HAVE I CONTRIBUTED?"

I am still searching..........

First blog on October

I havent been blogging after the company Bum Event. Fast moving to the supporting role again after the project completing next week. For the past few months after the 1st June 2008, I was very busy about the given assignment. I do learnt alot from the my team member especially my team member (Jas). From what I experience from her is she is a very humble,helpful and patient person. Each time when I write a new blog, I realized that things that I write here will never get out of my "ex-company" experience and thought which I don't know why.

Recently, I have been given an opportunity to be one of the committee member to organize a project dinner event and I am glad that I have been chosen. Although no expectation yet at this moment and I believe I will do it great! Same word, just follow the "FLOW"!

Right now what I am experiencing is "Free", feel being appreciate and happy to get involved in anything.

The present feeling

Kind of lazy to blog for last month. Comparing to the record of blogging over the past few month, last month was the worst! I had started my new job with the new responsibilities in the new working environment last month. Everything was so cool to me and I am like continuosly learning new stuff with lesser pressure compare with last time. Weird tho! Last time, I got to learn alot of things with pressure but now I get to learn alot of things as well but with lesser pressure which I can't explain "why?". I guess maybe the passion and fields of learning are different now :)

I started with the software development job now together with 7 people in my team working on the web development by using some high-end technologies. Get to know alot of stuff about DOJO, DWR and SPRING together with come others technology during the research period.

Those people that I am working closely with are cool and professional. Hopefully, I will get a chance to learn more from them and follow their success path.

Passion and happy on my work!

Check All Checkbox with DOJO Checkbox

I found a function which able to check all checkbox with DOJO Checkbox. Here is the following:

function checkAll(a,b){
var bChecked = false;
eval("dml = document.frTAMain");
var len = dml.elements.length;
for(var i=0 ; i<;i++){
if (dml.elements[i].type == "checkbox") {

for ( m=0; m <a.length;m++){
var id = (m+1);
if ((dml.elements[i].name == "selectAll") && (dml.elements[i].checked==true)) {
dijit.byId("comp"+id).setValue(true);
bChecked.setValue = true;
}

if ((dml.elements[i].name == "selectAll") && (dml.elements[i].checked==false)) {
dijit.byId("comp"+id).setValue(false);
bChecked.setValue = false;
}
}
}
}
}
At first I thought of putting in the function of click() which is the DOM function, however after the further studies on DOJO, dijit has their own method to check all which is dijit.byId().setValue (true/false).

Last weekend, I finally being able to pass value to DWR and DWR to Spring to the database and passing back to DWR to the javascripts. And now, it's time to learn how to display the value in the dijit.form.FilteringSelect with dwr values.

Wish me luck!

-Kay Nny

Learning process...

Time passed really really fast and this is my 2nd week of working at Accenture. Even though, it's just a week but I felt that time really passed even faster than I ever imagined. I have a lot of opportunity to learn about new technologies and started to build on the skeleton the web development project. Eventhough, I have few sleepless night but I had an amazing feeling that always keep me fresh and awake. I believe that is what we called "The passion"?

Today, I've learnt about DOM, JavaScripts ando a little bit DWR. While doing a window shopping yesterday, I bought a book called "Practical JavaScripts, DOM, Scripting and AJAX Projects". I have been learning DOJO since last week and I have start building some skeleton of the web interface. During the web development, I was informed about the "Select All" checkbox function which is not workable in the dijit.layout.AccordionPane. As usual, I have include the javascript in the jsp file and the following is the first implement script which is not workable:

function checkAll (a, b){
alert("I am here");
for (i = 0; i < checked =" b.checked?">
And the following is the checkbox input that trigger the checkAll function:

<input id="selectAll" dojotype="dijit.form.CheckBox" name="selectAll" value="selectAll" onclick="checkAll(document.form1.checkbox,this)" type="checkbox">

However, by implementing the above scripts will not work if those checkboxes are place inside the dijit.layout.AccordionPane

After looking into the DOM from w3schools, the following scripts is the workable scripts where it will check all the checkboxes in the dijit.layout.AccordionPane. Instead of implementing the checked(), I have changed to the click()


function checkAll(a, b){
var x=document.getElementsByName("selectAll");
for (i = 0; i < a.length; i++) a[i].click()
}

There are more to come. Even though I am not a geek but I hope i can share more on my knowledge along this learning journey.

Adios ~ Kay Nny

Delete shared map drive user

I learnt a new windows command where it can delete the initial map drive login users from the windows. The command goes like this:

C:/> net use
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK Z: \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Share_Folders Microsoft Windows Network

The command completed successfully.

Enter the following command for the syntax help:

C:/> net use /?

The syntax of this command is:


NET USE
[devicename | *] [\\computername\sharename[\volume] [password | *]]

[/USER:[domainname\]username]
[/USER:[dotted domain name\]username]
[/USER:[username@dotted domain name]
[/SMARTCARD]
[/SAVECRED]
[[/DELETE] | [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]]

NET USE {devicename | *} [password | *] /HOME
NET USE [/PERSISTENT:{YES | NO}]

In order to delete the shared map drive user, follow the following command:

C:/>net use /delete \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Shared_folder
\\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\Shared_folder was deleted successfully.

So here is a little bit of tips to remove the mapping.

Cheers,

New working environment

Hm! There is alot to blog about my new working environment. I started my job on the first of June and it was the same date when I started my previous job in 2 years back. Kind of excited about it and can't wait to move forward. The first 2 days was about understanding the company background and the administrative procedure. They are all covered in the Orientation day.

Yesterday I was assigned to a new project and I am really really excited about it. I am pretty much clear about my career path and direction compare with last time and I really have a plenty of plans in my mind now. Today is pretty much about requirement study, knowing people surrounding me and kick off my ass to learn! More to learn tho~ will blog about about it after today.

~Passion about my new job~

New friend from Estonia

I met a new friend who came here to have the 2 days WebMethod 7 training to some of my integration Colleagues. His name is Louis Zezeran from Estonia. The way I describe him is a funny and an energetic guy. Last Friday, I brought him to the movie. Our plan was like this:

• After work straight to the movie and we watched the "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" at the Berjaya Time Square
• After the movie around 9.45pm, we brought him to the dinner at KTC Low yat which is one of the famous restaurant that we used to bring out foreign friends for dinner. Wei Khai and I had ordered some of the Chinese food for him and he seems enjoyed it so much.
• And then around 10.30pm, Yuen Chi, Wei Khai and I brought him to a the Passion after the dinner session and we had heaps of fun. We were chit chatting about our family background and get to know each other at the first session. Then, Wei Khai had ordered a half dozen of beer during the chatting session. We don't really mingled around the club where by we just sitting at the corner which is just infront of the pathway to the toilet. :P After we had bottoms up the beers, we went to the dance floor and DANCEEEE!!! We don't really get drunk but the feel is just niceeee. We spent our time there till around 1.45am and we left since Wei Khai wasn't comfortable with the environment :)

Happy after all

Saturday in the next morning was quite hectic but I had heaps of fun hanging out with Yuen Chi and Louis. I went to the Java User Group with Yuen Chi at the Monash University Sunway. We were there around 11- 12.45pm and quite a number of people turns up. There is a speaker who used to work with "Google" has talked about " How to change the world with Web 2.0". The talk wasn't too technical but it's more high level towards the business world. The session was ended at 12.45pm.

After the Java User group session, Yuen Chi and Me was directly drive to Louis hostel and we brought him to "Yong Tau Foo" in Ampang. Initially, we planned to bring him to the Batu Caves after the lunch but unfortunately it was heavy rain. Hence, we went to KLCC straight after the lunch :) We spent about 2 hours in KLCC. Louis managed to get himself a nice, branded belt with a reasonable price as KLCC is having a sales right now.

Around 4.30pm and when the rain stopped, we went to Batu Caves where we had planned it earlier. Along the journey to the Batu Caves, Yuen Chi and Louis was talking about the Integration and Business Stuff while I am driving without knowing what they are talking about. Oh come on! Give me a break! The following are the photos that we took at Batu Caves and we were there about an hour. Lastly after the Batu Caves, I brought Louis to a nice dinner with my family and night KL view @ Gas Online in Langat. He really enjoyed alot with the local food that we ordered. Glad that he enjoyed himself during the weekend.

Overall, last weekend plan was great and I had heaps of fun going out with Yuen Chi and Louis during the weekend. Thanks for the accompany Yuen Chi and the JAVA User group meeting was really informative. By now, I think our friend Louis is on the flight now going back home to his country Estanio and adios my friend.

Unknown when I am unknown

After some trainings, I started to describe "I" instead of "we" at most of the time when some wording suppose to be "We" and I would rather use it as "I" as "I" is referring to "I" instead of "We" as some might not apply to the same condition as I do.

I started to realized that "I" suddenly become "unknown" in the crowd that I used to be particular about it of being "unknown". However, I am "unknown" as who I am. When I am "unknown", something flash into my mind that "I am who I am" and immediately, I ignore how I felt when I know that I became "unknown". Is this called "I am experiencing the experience" and directly become "I am who I am"?

Listening back to my conversation. What does "Unknown" mean to me? Is it the concept that I've built or the fact that doesn't fit to what I know?

Blood donation@Brickfield

A friend of mine (Christine) was invited me to the Brickfield temple this morning and we planned to go to the temple in the afternoon. So we were there around 2pm. The first thing that come into my mind is "Blood Donation". I remember the first time when I do blood donation was about 8 Years back during my college time and the first time I did blood donation was with a very special person who are staying in Melbourne now. What a memorable memories!

Crowd along the temple

Christine doing donation

Talking back about the blood donation campaign, I remembered I was rejected few things when I was willingly offered my blood to the bank blood. The reasons are very simple:
* Underage
* Blood not enough of IRON
* Low blood pressure

Hence, that shows I am a person who have difficulty to donate blood. Till this morning, I do not have any intention of donating blood until a friend of my message me to go to the Temple. First thing that came into my mind was "How many hours did I slept yesterday?"... hmmm... good question huh? I slept @ 12.30am and woke up @8am. Based on the calculation, I just passed the first important requirement which is above the requirement 7.30 hours. Hoho!!

When I was in the queue of donating blood, I was asked to filled up some questionnaires about my health condition and I found that I AM HEALTHY and NORMAL! Hurray! Once I had finished the questionnaires, I was asked to go to another queue to test out my blood type. A man who are not a doctor started used a small device and punch on my finger. Ouch! It was really pain but not that pain and my blood start pinching out from my finger. He then used a small sucker to sucked up the blood from my finger and placed it on a board that mixed with sort of a chemical to see which blood group I am belonging to. But I am not gonna announce it here tho :P

After a while, he started to take another sucker to sucked up my blood in the second round. Then he put a drop of my blood into a glass of a blue chemical to see whether my blood will sink or float. This is identify whether my blood contains sufficient IRON or not. However, my blood was floated on the surface but it slowly sinked to the bottom which indicates that it's hard to identify the level of IRON that contained in my blood. Hence, he started to used a machine to test on my blood. Based on his statement, the IRON level must at least reach 12.50 in order to be on eligible blood donator. Phew! I got 12.70 which is just nice to be eligible. Thanks god of no rejection this time!

Ok, once I have passed the first level, I was again asked to seek for the duty doctor for another questionnaires session. The doctor that I met is quite "fierce" and "strict". The reason of seeing this doctor is to identify the amount of blood that I can donate. After the questionnaire session, the amount of blood that I can donate is 450 CC. Good enough! Or else I will fainted down if I am ask to give more!

Here is the picture that Christine taken during the blood donation:

We spent about 2 hours in the temple and it was very very crowded. I am happy that I have made different to the world today.

Happy Wesak day!
