I've been in this project for 2 years already. Things just go on and on until it's becoming meaningless. Endless codings, endless logic, endless documentation, endless dealing with ...... {censored} users. The nice and competent ones are around, everybody would prefer them, but dealings with them are mostly short and simple, straight to the point, straightforward, not much hassle. Instead, the {censored} ones are the one that take up most of your time and requires more effort, gives you more headache, and in some cases, heartache. Why can't I be more like people in my dad's generation? Stay in a job for almost their whole life, doing almost the same thing for years, face the same group of people for ages, and no complaints. Make things a lot easier this way. Don't have to think so much. Do something I have passion in, they say. If I get a hundred dollars for every bowl of beef noodle I eat, you think I'll still be working here? If I get money for every miles I chalk up on my bike, you think I would rather face the computer 10 hours everyday? Things I'm passionate about, needs money, not generates them.

Accenture in Stockholm

Image
First day at work today. First time wear suits to work. First time had to put on so many layers of clothes before leaving the house. And I'm still cold!   Accenture office in Stockholm is located at Hötorget. I finally met Helena, the lady who's been helping with my transfer. I was given my security access card, a laptop, and a handphone. Yes, a handphone. Hehehe. According to Helena, the company will pay for the usage. My first question was, what about overseas call? Helena said the company will pay for all usage, even for international calls. But she advised me not to make too many personal overseas calls, otherwise the company may start to scrutinise my bill and take away this privilege. Afterall, the primary usage should be for work. I think a call or few SMS-es to my dearest sweetest loveliest Sharon (yes, I miss her THAT much) once in a while is okay. I still can webcam chat with her using the laptop. The company also provided me with a 3G modem. This thing, allows me...

Do you ever LEAVE this world? When we die, what happens to our soul or consciousness? Does it just ... disappear? Maybe it's something like energy, it doesn't disappear. It's just passed on to other forms. So it is with human, when we die, there's a greater power up there or down somewhere that collects our souls and inserts it into another living being. Maybe there's a finite number of souls on earth - say 10 trillion. Earth was once roamed by 10 trillion animals. Then human comes along. It's common knowledge today that human population has been increasing centuries by centuries while great number species of animals are going into extinction. If it is ever possible to count the total number of living beings on earth, maybe we'll find that there're just 10 trillion of us - human and animal combined. Maybe that's how Reincarnation works.

MY Election Aftermath

Malaysia's ruling coalition lost 4 states on top of Kelantan to the opposition. They've been denied 2/3 majority by voters. The media reported that our PM is under increasing pressure to quit. Funny, because the only "increasing pressure" they quoted pressuring PM to quit is Dr M. Sometimes the media is also not impartial. They try to spin things their way.   The worst thing for Abdullah to do now is quit. This is bad for himself, as well as for the country. Nobody should go out in shame. They should be given the opportunity to redeem themselves. Despite all the focus on things he has not done, or not done well, we should remember that he has done well in some areas too. So, be fair to him, especially when the majority decides to keep the government he leads. We should also stop the practice of asking someone to quit when he screw up. That's letting him off too lightly. He should be made to stay and fix his mistakes under greater scrutinization.   I think t...
