New Parking Rate!

Today company have a voting process, vote for who are the "lucky 3" out of 22 applicants to get the season parking at Mid Valley City. Everyone also hope that he will be selected to get RM60 monthly parking rate(now the parking rate is juz RM1/day about RM20 monthly), who are not selected will need to pay RM154++ for the monthly parking start from next month.

Yes for sure it's not a problem for who with high income,less impact... some staff complaining company should subsidize while some other blame the Mid Valley Management... Anyway, for those who can't even get the season parking rate, definitely demotivated, I really can smell the sense of dissatisfaction among them and employees morale drop...!!!

I'm get shocked when i realized I need to pay RM100 extra juz for the parking... upset, disappointed, then what can I do? plan to come by motorcycle but it's more dangerous compare to car, my little cousin n her bf, n my sister bf juz conduct an accident when ride on motorcycle last week... plan to take public transport but that definitely not convenient... then i got no choice to come by my car n pay RM154 monthly, no other option n juz keep accept it!

After deduct all the expense from my salary, juz left 10% for saving, how can I plan my future, plan to marry but no money, god damn ironic....!

From Wap to the Web

Few days ago just get a call from Jobstreet, a new mobile solution company request me to work over there, that’s a European-based corporate which located at CyberJaya. I'm wondering why they still interested on me (a bit proud :)), I’m almost a year never updated my resume on Jobstreet already. They persuade me with attractive salary, almost 65% more from my current one, I though jobstreet always keep P&C with this issue, y they still tell me that figure?? I’m suspecting…

Think and think over… Last time when I migrate from Shabox was definitely a big change for me; from a wap specialist to web master; from senior system analyst to now analyst programmer; from 90% managerial job scope to now 90% extreme coder; from high pay to current salary… If there was no problem with the takeover process by Monster-Mob, UK. There for sure a bright future for me… but now all is over, as I always said, life is juz like a dream. I’m juz jump out from wap to web, but now someone ask me to go in wap again, that’s not an issue for me, but juz feel a bit ridiculous.

Although last time all the task are extreme critical, even company ever can lost 30k in just a minute due to minor mistake made by some newbie, but I still can cope with that and have time to think, brainstorming, improve engines, manage my team well and relax…, but now… even take lunch I also have to rush, somemore I have to make even pixel minor changes to web site always, everyday stuck in trial-and-error process (no time to test on standard approach), no time for brain to rest and no time for me to put my hand under the table even at home, and “relax” is almost impossible word for me. although I don’t like it initially but at least from there I build up my strong web development basic. Fortunately now I got a new staff to help me up, Mr.Z.., have to train him more before he can handle task independently.

Luckily Mr.A appreciate my effort and always train me with some web knowledge(although juz put some books on my table and ask me to read!) but it's really helpful, when I'm realized that I’m creating one of the amazing web portal in the world now, then… am I still need to consider for another higher pay position?

a thought about Ruby on Rails

ruby on rails... a agile programming language which will skip
compilte step duringdevelopment, others like java, .net, C
all need to compile b4 it's run, ruby juz need modify-run,
while others need modify-compile-run. may be this good for
developer when their development in progress, but izit good
for execute for user, it will definitely slow down the
running time. or what i think is ruby can juz use modify-run
model for development, but when really launching it go
through comilation step, then may be it will solve the
problem, but dunno whether ruby framework design have this
kind of flexibility or not. like flash development, .swf to
.exe... need time to go in more detail then. I think every
programming language have its pro n cons, like super
asynchronous communication pattern AJAX also have it's nature
limitation, bookmarking n back issue... can see from that all the element in this world have 2 face, like Ying Yang...

what to do with parking rate

parking rate will raise, that will increase my expenditure, in future driving car to company, RM180 + RM60 = RM240, if take another option, which by motocycle, there will be RM30 + RM10 = RM40, 240-40= RM200!!! so which one should i choose, car RM240 or motorcycle RM40??? car sure is more comfortable but will stuck in traffic jam, motorcycle sure can run away from traffic jam, but more dangerous n if rain then will suffer... b4 17 march have to inform MVC office whether i want that season parking or not... why so many critical decision to make recently, haiz....
