Life: As a Programmer

It's been a while(1 month is considered 'a while'...right? uhu) since this blog was updated. Actually there's many things that I want to share, but as water in a glass, too many water poured into it, and it will spill over, leaving the only new water inside..as said, 'let bygone be bygone'? aha

Many things had happened, days by days, weeks by weeks, and 1 month had passed. 3 more month to go for me to complete this course. Within that time length, I kind of noticed and took notes of the programmer's life.

Not long ago while I'm still studying in Jengka, my lecturer once told me 'bout his story of being a system developer. He works at Shell I think..

"Hari2 masuk pagi. Kadang2 kne keje atas kapal. Syarikat minyak la katekan. Tapi lpas da lme2 kdg2 terfikir jugak, macam xde 'life' je keje ni. Kwn2 saya yang laen mlm2 da pegi main futsal. Saya plak ade lagi kat ofis. Mmg xde 'life' la saya dlu. Gaji mmg masyuk, tp xde 'life'. Sbb tu saya tuka nak jd lecturer"

And yes..what he did said was true. At that time I was thinking "who cares about life..as long as I got a lot of money". THAT was a mistake. Maybe some of the people didn't care about it, since that people are living in an unhealthy way! yes. For a person who jog everyday, workout every while, eat constantly, nightlife is not what I've been searching for.

For a programmer after married life? It's worst. Not including if u already had a children. Sometimes I felt pity for my colleague who already had his own family, had to reach home late. I wonder how his children will feel, having to see his father only at night where the child is about to hit the bed, and the weekend. And I started to think of the story, where the parents busy working for the money while the children did not feel their parents love. (some kind of essay we used to write in the school about "Mengapa remaja masa kini berkelakuan liar". huhu)

And yet, not all of the company that treat the programmer that way. It may be differ for each company. As for my company I'm practical at, it is. But it was their will to hit home late. *sigh* no offense. btw, Happy Chinese New Year to all who celebrate!

Oki: Cuti xde bwt ape..rse mbazir dbiarkan bgitu saja :(

At your service, Sir!

5 day of having practical environment have past. And there's still another 13 weeks more to go before I leave this environment (well it is better to not counting the day. huhu)

Anyway, my experience in this last 5 day of practical is somehow.....BORING. well it's not only me. When I hit back home, open my facebook and wow! majority of them thought the same thing. haha...

~Day 1~
Adalah hari yang paling membosankan..tidak termasuk perasaan bengang bila mereka sendiri pun xtau nak bagi aku kat sape(?!) supervisor la mksdnye...Then aku diberikan buku background kompeni untuk aku dibaca. Ada la dlm 2 jam aku baca buku tu, tanpa sebarang arahan dari orang yang sepatutnye aku lapor diri(Encik XY), aku pun btanye la pada die kt spe sbnanye aku patut lapor diri. En.XY tu pn bkata "Awak lapor dkt En.X la". Duh...asl la die xbtau je awl2..ssh kn org btol la...dan slps aku lapor diri kat En.X , die plak bagi aku kt Puan Y(which is my supervisor right now) and I've been asked to read the book that I've receive earlier. Imagine I'm reading the book right from 11a.m to 5.30 p.m....! pergh....

~Day 2~
Adalah hari yang lebih baek SEDIKIT dari smlm. Akhirnye ada gak komputer atas meja aku...dgn spec AMD Duron(tm) processor, 925MHz , 995 MB of RAM, dan 30Gb HD. Laptop aku pn lg power...At least die ade la suruh aku blaja buat sequel report(sqlrepot). Ia lebih kurang je macam generated repot dari Ms Access, cume kite bleh edit2 kedudukan information tuh. Cuma....die btau aku pada pukul 5.30 ptg! wargh...btau la awl2...wuu~

~Day 3~
Permulaan bagi ari yang MENARIK. Aku diberi tugasan(cewah) utk bwt sistem Helpdesk. So aku kne fahamkn ape tu helpdesk yg ktorg bwt, ari isnin nnt bru akan ade pbincangan utk bwt sistem tu. Xkesah lah helpdesk ke pe janji aku dpt projek. hoho~ Basically skang ni pn da ade sistem helpdesk tu, tp yg tu utk Jabatan Pertahanan Awam(JPA) and dalam bentuk PHP. Yg bakal aku buat ni utk tentera, tapi dalam bentuk ASP. adeh~

~Day 4~
Satu lagi hari menarik, dimana aku diajak sekali untuk masuk kedalam meeting room. Haha...sonoknye..aku lg ske duk dlm meeting room tu dr duk kt meja aku tuh. Dan hari ni juga aku mem'bz'kn diri aku dgn membuat user interface(UI) utk system aku tu nnt. Xde la trase sgt mse blalu dgn lmbt. sda2 da wktu lunch..pstu sda2 da wktu blk. hehe~

~Day 5~
Hari ni LAGI MENARIK. Lpas aku abeh bwt slide utk proposed system tu, aku diberi tugasan untuk edit slh stu page dorg. Bendanya tersangat lah simple:

- Tambah mandatory sign(*) dkt 2 field jer.
- Pstu kalu dorg biakn kosong field tu, dan tekan bukan "OK", akan kua mesej "Sila masukkan......".

Senangkan? Xsampai sejam pun bleh siap....SEPATUTNYE! Tapi, disebabkan dorang gne .NET(yang mne xde masalah kalu stakat fhmkn jer), dan tahap logik serta programming dorg dgn kte adalah bagaikan langit dan pusat bumi, masa ksluruhan yang diambil adalah KESELURUHAN WAKTU BEKERJA tu. hahahaha~

Logik cmne tu? Sbnanye dari aspek sekuriti. Bayangkan kalu dlm Form tu ade field Nama dan Alamat, tp ble korg cek blk kt page editor(mcm notepad) pkataan tu xde sama skali. Aneh? Tidak, sbb dorg pass pkataan tu dari page yg laen..! pergh...Meaning pkataan tu di'declare' sbg 'strHeader1' dgn value 'Nama', kat page1.aspx, page2.aspx akan panggil value tu dgn nama 'strHeader1'. So yg akn kua kt page2.aspx tu nnt 'Nama' la. huhu..slh stu tips yg aku rse bleh share kt korg sume yg bwt sistem nnt. (Fuyoo~)

Tapi yang lme sgt tu bkn sbb bwt bnda tu, tp sbb nk publish kt web die blk jer..lme woo...

Dan aku menarik nafas lega stelah pulang pada pukul 8 mlm tu..bes pe maen ping pong dgn boss. haha. So isnin ni akan jadi hari yang lebih menarik dan bz, sbb da stat kne bwt sistem. xsaba la rsenye~ So cmne dgn kwn2 laen yg praktikal? Ok x? hahahaha.......

Oki: Nama dan pekerja2 yang ade kt ctu, serius majority mke familiar gle. wlaupn bkn org yg same. huhu~
