Let's talk about my generation

Ma Génération
Chapeaumelon (Chapeaumelon, 2002)

Des gens tendent de nous descendre (Parlons de ma génération)
Car on veut se faire entendre (Parlons de ma génération)
On nous dit indifférents (Parlons de ma génération)
J'esp?re partir avant de pourrir (Parlons de ma génération)

Ma génération, ma génération

Veuillez tous nous foutre la paix (Parlons de ma génération)
Et n'essayez pas de nous saisir (Parlons de ma génération)
Je ne prends pas une cause pour vous étonner (Parlons de ma génération)
Je veux parler de ma génération (Parlons de ma génération)

Parlons de ma génération
Parlons de ma génération

** good cover of My Generation by The Who

I'm so busy

that I totally skipped reading the book "The Da Vinci Code" because I have no time to read
skip watching the movie adaptation because I have no money or time to go to the movies

and...

went straight to downloading The Da Vinci Load, the parody from Torrent.

Phew, was I glad it wasn't gay porn like they planned it to be.

Carrefour flooded!!

** note the dudes in phua chu kang boots..

please spend more time on your CV!

I was reading some CV's from Industrial Internship applicants and this one caught my eye.

INTERESTS

1. Reading books and magazines

2. Web hosting

3. Surfing internet

I think she mistakenly entered her personal ads into her CV.. might as well be putting in "Enjoy intelligent conversation and occasional walks on the beach"

hmm.. I don't think your future boss would like to hire a person who likes to read books and magazines and surfs the internet.. I'm not sure what she meant with Web hosting as one of her interests...

There's absolutely nothing in the CV that would make me want to hire this person. No listed achivements, projects undertaken, etc... just bleak information on the person, her address, email address and contact numbers and which school she has been to... bleak...

Please spend more than 5 minute on your CV, it could be the difference between getting an interview or the CV being chucked into the waste basket on first sight, in this case.

** oh yeah and my colleague just showed me a picture attached with one of the CVs he was reviewing. It was a picture of the applicant in his worn t-shirt and equally worn baseball cap, sitting in a mamak stall drinking teh tarik! gawd these people need to be slapped silly!

more dandruff

stupid oracle database must commit after sql insert update delete queries fucked up my day debuging my codes for nothing

stupekkkkkkkkkkk wasted half a day for your stupid non commital feature!

bleh! I loath you oracle!

dandruff

I have more dandruf now than 2 weeks ago when I had longer hair... hmm I guess it's stress related coz I am trapped in this perl-oracle parallel universe where nothing makes sense!

Boy do I hate programming...

on the plus side, I have better command of perl now.. and few neat cgi tricks that looks slick .. I know it's not AJAX or anything.. but not bad!

argkh!! I hate programming!

finally!!!!

In the spirit of a true malaysian, I finally submitted my tax return forms this morning. I have been mad busy for the past 2 months (reunion, inlaw's wedding, munchkins gramp passed away, etc) that I just could not find the time to do it! So I opted for the e-filing option due to extended dateline to may 31st.

Anyhow, last week I started to sit down and get on to do it only to be faced with loads of problems. Oh man! errors after errors being spit back at me by the blasted e-filing system. Turned out my income tax number on my EA form from my employer was missing a trailing 0. I checked against the hardcopy tax return form that I received.

Ok down with that then second error comes up saying that my ID number does not match my tax number! What the hell! after calling and calling the IRB and finally yesterday foudn out that the security certificate slip that I collected was not activated by the IRB staff that handed it to me few weeks ago. The nice gentleman on the phone activated for me so I can fianlly generate my security cert and download the form.

After filling up the at home ( for confidentiality reasons, I didn't want to do my tax in the office, gila ka?) when I click on submit btton nothign happens!!! arghkhhhhh another headache... and their help line only opens on office hours.. I turned off my firewall, etc and still nothign happens.. I have the uncanny suspicion that my XP installation at home is fucked up. Seems some network packets gets dropped for no reasons.. I can't use ftp, etc from the pc before..

So there I was, doing my tax return in the office this morning and alhamdulillah.. it went through and I got the slip penerimaan from the e-filing system.

Fuhhhhh lega!!! now I can go back to kauntan for the wedding with peace! it took me 1 whole week to figure out why it didn't work.. so if you don't know what you're doing, best to go to the IRB office and get the staff there to help you out.
