Department Dinner

I planned to go back home during the last weekend, but our company CTO had invited our IT department colleagues to go over his house to have a dinner. It is a yearly event, our CTO will invite all from the IT department to his house, having a dinner once a year, something like the team building event. Well, should i say lucky me because i joined the company only for 10 days, then i joined the first team event? Haha.

At first i was reluctant to join, because i am still a very new man in the department, not really get to know my colleagues every well just yet. However, things turned out to be quite fun, i had my time. Though i might be the joke of the day, sweat.

Working as a developer always a stressful job, especially when you faced some stubborn bugs which just dont want to go away from you. I used to call my friends name and talked to them whenever i felt tired solving the bugs, and i was facing the same situation last friday, but i had no one to talk to, because everyone seem so serious about their jobs. So during the dinner, i aske them if they get frustrated when they solving bugs, because i was scared to be the only weirdo, because i normally point my fingers on the monitor, and mumbling about why, why, why. My assistant manager thought i bang my head to the monitor whenever i feel stressful, when she heard about the monitor but without letting my colleague finishing up the whole sentence. Hence the joke seed planted into someone's heart.

Then after dinner, our manager suggested to have a simple game, every one taking a piece of paper, then wrote down the person and the question that you would like to ask among us that night. And one more encourage statement for anyone in the room as well. It was a simple game, but torturing us a lot, because we dont know what to ask, or who to ask. And i was the last person submitted the paper, sweat again.

Well, guess what, i was one of the popular person being asked, three times, and two statements to me. Here are the questions.

1. What is your favorite food?
2. How many girlfriends do you think you would have until you get marry?
3. What do feel like working in this company?

The first and third questions were pretty normal, but the second question, bloody hell, i last my tongue for few seconds before answering that. As my answer, hehe, sure 1 lah, hahaha.

Then the statements. Both statements mentioned about the bugs solving things, that i can talk to them if i feel like, and dont bang my head on the monitor!!! Gosh, how embarrassing, yet a lot of fun.

We celebrated one of our colleague birthday as well, and she definitely showed us a very good way in cutting cake, bizarre though, haha. Show you guys if you guys buy me a cake lah, hahahaha.

Conclusion, it was a very nice dinner, and i finally got to meet my boss, the CEO of the company, and he is able to remember all of his stuff's names, that's impressive, mine was the exception though, haha.

生活

天色依然灰暗,晨光依稀朦胧,
然而,
准时响起的闹钟,唤醒许多嗜睡的灵魂,
按下闹钟,容许自己继续的赖在床上一会。

起床,梳洗,早餐,出门,
天也亮了。

都市的早晨,
缺了清新的空气,少了宁静的氛围,
却,
多了匆匆的人们,加了节奏的人生。

总是在巴士上,快铁里看见闭目小憩的上班族,
渐渐的,也能在摇晃拥挤的快铁里,
闭目偷睏养神。

早晨,应该是朝气勃勃,
都市的早晨,却是暮气沉沉。
少了激进,少了动力,
仿佛一切只是为了工作而工作,
为了生活而生活。
对于一天的开始,大家都期盼着那一天的结束。
不对的工作,着实抹杀了一个人对生活的热忱。

刚开始工作,
对这份工其实有着明显的期盼,
期望能有不错的表现。
但是事与愿违,有处处碰壁的感觉,
虽然知道现实的需求,和学校里的要求有着明显的差距,
真正面对时,却还是措手不及啊。

但是,人生不就是永久的学习吗?

起床,工作,下班,睡觉,
不变的生活的规律。
但是,如何在这规律里寻找愉快,
却是落在每个人的手里。
每一种生活,都有一百种的生活方式,
选择,掌握在自己手里。



是晴天娃娃,还是雨天娃娃,
你的抉择。

巧合

新年终于在昨天,过去了。非常难得,今年的元宵节刚好落在 Prophet Muhammad's Birthday的隔一天。很巧的,元宵节是落在星期一,而星期一是补假,所以很多人就以为今年很特别,以为咱们政府怎么这么好,今年元宵节竟是假期。其实不是,只是就是那么的刚巧,碰在一起。而且,元宵节的隔一天就是大宝森节。二月的一开头,大马的三大种族排排队,过过节,1Malaysia,有时候,世事就是那么的巧。

对,有时候,有些事情就是那么的巧。我从没有想过我和大学里的同学竟会有一天成为同事。对,同事,我在我工作的第一天,在游览公司的设有的face book时,真的是face book,里面全是同事的大头照,我看见了一张甚是熟悉的面孔,然后再看看名字,心里马上惊呼我的天,怎么是他??!!但是因为在我的工作的办公室里,我没有看见他,所以我就以为他可能在总公司或其他部门,也许不会碰到面。我和他,老实说,还真的只是点头的陌生人,因为是不同科系,但是这位仁兄的故事,我倒是听过不少,褒多过赞就是了。我和他倒是从没有合作的经验啦。

结果,第二天,早上,他突然的就出现,还对我说了一句,“I think i know you”,我就说,“We were from the same uni ba”,然后只是随便聊聊,他好像很忙似的,收了东西,又出公司了。后来才从另一个同事那里知道,他其实长时间会呆在client side,可能是做support的吧。

如果只是这么一件事,我倒也不会觉的世事有多么的巧合。但是我在吃午餐的时候,我碰到了我2008年在NEC的同事,一个和我较好的大姐姐。当我看见她坐在我对面的桌子时,我有一刹那的愣住了,而她其实也意想不到会看到我,一下子也没有认出是我,哈哈。我们放下自己的午餐,然后聊聊,互留电话,以便再约一起吃饭。

也许是世界真的很小,也许是KL本来就不大,街头分开街尾撞见的几率其实也不小。但是有些人,就是住在你隔壁,你一个月里搞不好也不会见上一次面。也许是巧合,也许就是有缘,茫茫人海里,第一次见面接触不稀奇,但是分开后却又能重逢,几率则不大,要把握。时常听人说贵人相助什么的,也许他们就是自己的贵人,也许自己就是他们的贵人,人际关系吧。

明天得开工了,希望自己能有好的表现吧!加油!

奔波一月

距离上一次的文,竟然有一个月之久了,我还真的不是普通的懒惰啊,呵呵。但是在过去的一个月里,倒是发生了蛮多的事情。在那短短的一个月里,我奔波的很啊,比起去年从大学回来后的四个月里,上个月,可以堪称短期内最为忙碌的一个月。更别提新年也是落在上个月。

早在去年十二月时,我就有找工作的打算了。在我原本的计划里,也的确是时候开启人生的另一章节了,虽然有些事情并没有完全的跟着我的计划进行,例如,在学业上。所以在度过我人生第25个生日后,我就开始投入寻找工作的状态。不知道是不是自己也太挑剔了,其实我也只是在选地点,公司的地点,因为对KL真的不熟啊,所以就只能选一些lrt能到达后,走路能到达的地方,结果,我就只选了两件公司。

在一月八号,我终于有了第一次工作面试的经验了。表现的好吗?我觉得还好罢了,呵呵。但是我不曾意识到,如今的面试其实都有所谓的altitude test,test的表现,我就真的觉得,麻麻地罢了,哈哈。在我前去另一件公司面试的前一天,我收到了第一件公示的录取通知,当下我真的非常的挣扎,是接受还是拒绝呢?我明天还有一个面试哦,到底要怎么做呢?仓促中,我选择接受,其实也是因为我对这件公司感觉很不错。如果你问我什么感觉,我也答不上来,就是感觉啦,哈哈。就这样,在面试后的第四天,我有了我人生第一份正式的工作了。当然,我也曾经在中学放假时做了将近六个月的侍应,和三个月的收银员,也有长达六个月的intern经验,但是这份工,是真正的宣示我也进入人生的另一阶段了。

然后,一月十六号,我飞往古晋,收拾东西,见见朋友。短短的两天两夜,其实真的是不够,感觉好匆忙啊。匆忙之余,还很累呢!但是和朋友见面,聊天,倒也是件美事,尤其是我人生的前五年,就是和这一帮人度过,能再见聊天,时间非常难得的事情啊。当我们每个人都开始自己的人生时,见面,就难了,尤其是还隔了南中国海!

古晋回来后就是新年前夕了,今年新年我过的特别的累,因为把精神都放在桌上联谊了吧,呵呵。也许是年龄渐长的关系,身体精神不如以前了,哈哈。

年初四,我搭朋友的车,又前往KL,送一些东西过去我即将居住的房子,就仅仅是送东西,然后当晚又搭巴士回家了。奔波的很啊。

然后二月一号,我也得真正的出门了,因为隔天就是我开工的日子了。

我算了算,上个月,我仅是去KL就去了三次,来回三次!能不奔波吗?

进入二月了,也开启了我人生的第二章节,希望我能好好的,努力的,尽心的,专注于我自己的工作上,加油吧!
