A very good morning!

Good morning to you guys out there. I enjoyed a good sleep for the past two days. It's been precious to me as i long time never really have a proper sleep. I have either slept very late then woke up late or slept for a few hours only, even on Saturday or Sunday! Most of the time i just have one feeling that i do not have enough sleep as my eyes always easily get tired! I really have to thank god for giving me such a chance to have a good quality sleep.

This morning i woke up at around 7 am, i could hardly get myself back to sweet dream again so i just got up from the bed, brushed my teeth, cleared my colon, then went for swimming. Recently the weather is so hot so the water in the pool is very warm! Great! I swam for around 15 minutes. Enjoyable!

After that i took a shower then went to office. I made myself a first organic breakfast in Kulai. Anyway i also bought a pack of fried mee hon as i was worried that little organic oat could not fill in my stomach. I happened to meet my colleague when i was going out from office and she was so surprised that i came to office so early!

Anyway, it's a wonderful morning for me.

谁想要高破案率

根据日前报导,大马警方破案率为东南亚最高,相信警队也以此为荣。此课题引起了一些争议,先不说国内人民对警队的负面印象,人们关心的其实是国内节节上升的罪案率。别的国家很有可能有很低的犯罪率,因此破案率也降低了不少。因为以人民对警方的坏印象来看,如果我国警方的效率都成为东南亚之冠,那么别国的人民岂不是在水深火热之中?

我们人民要的是安居乐业,不让不法分子扰乱我们有秩序的生活。就拿新加坡比就好了,我相信他们的国内罪案率总不必大马高吧!就算他们警方如何办事不力,都没有很大的关系,因为罪案率已经很低了。

罪案率的高低警方免不了有一些的责任,但并不是完全的。个人认为主要要从教育着手。某某宗教过于缺乏自信,所以在各方面千方百计实施属于他们宗教的教条,让人民感到好笑非常。一个自信的宗教是并不需要强迫大家接受或感染它的好处的。如果它受大家的欢迎,那么大家自然而然会选择信仰它,何须处处派遣宗教人员抓违反宗教教义者呢?此宗教过于压抑教徒,所以教徒们往往做出了一堆违反法律的事情来发泄。举手拿来的例子就有飚车、乱伦、强奸、轮奸等等有关情绪上的发泄。

如果你的教徒专做这些事,那么对你的宗教真是一种侮辱啊!为什么不开放点,用新颖的点子来促使他们遵循你的教义呢?难道你不知道,勉强是没有幸福的啊!

Sun Tech Days

Last week i managed to attend the Sun Tech Days event. That was the first Sun Tech event in Malaysia. I felt extremely happy as i had the chance to see the real person of the father of Java - James Gosling. My company sent me together with my colleagues to this event which overall took 2 days to finish. On the night before the event i set out my journey together with the 2 other colleagues from Kulai to Kl at around 8pm. We had our dinner in Kulai first then continued our journey. Thanks to the lengthy conversation between me & one of my colleagues who was sitting next to me, i managed to keep myself awake throughout the 300km journey. Of course, we had some light tea session in the midst of the journey as well. We arrived at the destination hotel at around 12.30pm. So me & one of my colleagues were assigned in the same room. We watched the fantastic four in Star Movie and then slept to recharge ourselves for the exciting event the next day.

Here comes the Sun Tech Days, we set out from the hotel at around 8 something in the morning. The event actually started at 7.30 which means we were late for that. Luckily the event location is just a few minute by walking distance from our hotel. Anyway, the important part of the event was the speech addressed by Mr. James Gosling which started at around 9 something. We reached there with empty stomach. The first 2 speakers who one of them is the Sun Microsystems Managing Director in Southeast Asia Region and the later one was one of the many minister in Malaysia. Both of them are really lousy speakers as they only spoke something which are not interesting at all. Next was the famous James Gosling. Somehow his speech also not much of excitement probably because he is a typical technical guy who is always an introvert.

I do not want to describe so much of details here as there were too many things to talk about. Perhaps let me do my research first then will share with you guys on those cutting edge technologies. In short, these are EJB 3.0, J2EE 5, J2SE6 and etc. What impressed me was the easy creation of Web Service using J2EE5 as right now i got to crack my head configuring this & that before publishing my web service. With the advent of J2EE5, all we need to do is to use the annotations to mark whether this function shall be wrapped into a web service or not. As for the EJB 3.0 i think i do not need to mention that much already as it looks certainly is the implementation standard of business logic(IOC) & Object-Relational Mapping framework in future which also means the current famous framework Hibernate & IOC framework Spring will be replaced by this new framework in the end. So, annotation again! It really plays an important role in making this EJB 3.0 up.

There are several meals provided throughout the whole day. The meal is not bad indeed. Even tough that is considered too much for me already, but i really enjoyed it! The whole day ended with joy and exhaustion as we managed to learn new things but at the same time tired of sitting there for a whole day to pay full attention to what had been addressed by those speakers. Thanks to their efforts & professionalism. I think they really had the passion & willingness to share with us of what they know. They are promoting Java with great effort!

The next day was a little bit boring as some of the topics did not really help us in improving our current work. Perhaps it is only helpful for people who is working in other fields. Some of the speakers tone are too monotonous that's why making some of us asleep. Since those topics did not stir much of our interest, so i did not learn much from there. I also purchased the SCJP exam voucher at a discount rate! I planned to take this exam within this year and this voucher expires on March 2008. Anyway, i did not manage to finish listening the last session as i got to accompany my colleagues back to hotel to take his stuff which were put along together with my luggage. After that i waited for the rest of my colleagues in the hotel lobby to move on to our journey back. Thanks to another colleagues again for kept talking to me so as to keep me awake along the way back to Kulai. Thanks ya. We reached there at around 12.30. After taking bath and lying down on my bed, i was talking to myself, i really got to appreciate the chance give to me and really learned something from there.

初二乡间游

农历初二,一如往常,阖家齐归母亲娘家。烈日当空,心情却好。行程30几里,车程20多分钟,路途多经马来乡村,一有不慎可撞及鸡狗牛羊。可怕之处在于,自小听说在马来乡村出事,只要肤色不对,错就在于你。虽不曾亲生经历,乃人云亦云,但报章上激烈的、偏激的言语往往提醒我此事亦可真。
天使亦能成魔鬼,此言不虚,因人有数旬,除了“根本”的思想外,多数的想法皆随光阴而变更。只要资讯与思考方式的组合不对,火车就掉了轨道。马来乡村内人人样子和蔼可亲,行事懒懒散散(车子龟速行驶是个例子),但当炸药点着了,那爆炸的威力非人可阻。中下层无力出国的本土中华子民最可悲,往往是牺牲者,1998年印尼暴行至今难忘,魔鬼的杰作仍令人惊心动魄。

此行女友第一次随行。往年在那儿有如木人,长辈过老,晚辈过嫩,人头处处却无人可倾谈。可喜此次不同以往,女友随行,能与她在个角落恩恩爱爱、窃窃私语。不过当天也让自己逊了一把,外婆赏了我一颗椰,要我自个儿剖,费尽牛力、剖得好辛苦还久不见洞。外婆看不过眼,年过7旬的她接过刀子与椰,砍了两三下后那型就出来了,我这青年还不如她啊!无论如何,她留了三分的工作给我----挖出洞口。我费了一番劲方弄出了个小洞来。喝着椰水,心底欣慰年迈的外婆还是那么的硬朗,我相信乃拜早年困苦的生活所赐,加上近年来适当的劳动,方锻炼了外婆的身躯。要知道,她可需要割胶及拾水果呢。他们那代困苦过了,总希望下一代轻轻松松赚大钱,殊不知下一代的晚年可有这么健康否?!

临近晚餐时间,吾与女友于屋外散布。乡间摩托车好多,特色是少见友族。我们走得并不自在,皆因摩托车川流不息,不仅污染了清新的空气,也让行人历经风险。但是他们并没犯规,所以我们也尽快地返回屋内。国内这样的华人新村不知所剩多少,在年轻一代都受到更多地教育后,多数都选择了往大都会发展,留守新村的通常都是中年人士或老年人,因新村人多从事农业,工作上的选择并不多,此乃情有可原。否极泰来,吾相信总有一天年轻人还是会回流的,事物总是在圈子内流转,好让阴阳稳定,维持道之运转。但人们相信农业能提供一番出路后,将会有人重新投入此业。

我走得并不尽兴,所以开车去巡一巡,看看有何新鲜之物。正巡着当儿,见到了一间好漂亮的神庙,除了拥有各个神庙皆有的神殿外,其旁还有一个小型公园,立了不少的雕塑,还有个小小鱼池,走在里面凉意遍遍,午间的酷热随风而去。走没多久,亲人打来通知晚餐时间到,唯有匆匆而去。

岂知父母有心拜祭此庙神明,晚餐后我又回到了原地。在灯光的衬托下,那些雕塑显得更养眼了。吾特拍了数照,于此分享。


鱼池旁的观世音菩萨雕像。池上有人造瀑布。水不停地流转,风生水起。雕塑旁种有杨柳,以伴菩萨。


池内鲤鱼条条肥大,正在畅游。



Great Ang Pau!

I received a great Ang Pau this Chinese New Year. It's given by Public Mutual! Wahaha! All Public Mutual funds that i bought grow crazily and one of them even achieved 26.07% of return rate so far! Man, it's not even one year yet! All my clients as well earning big Ang Pau. I can sense the happiness from them as i am having the same one! I will continue to monitor & survey to gain more profit for me & my clients. Yahoo...

Mean while, the 2 stocks i bought have become my Fortune God! One of them even achieved 27.94% of return rate per year!!! This is so great. I am happy i manage to achieve Warran Buffett's target! Well, a bit disappointed as the total amount i earned still not very large. My initial investment amount is too little. Sigh, that's why rich guys earn faster! They can afford to put in a huge amount of money and earn the huge return if they success their investment!

Anyway, thanks Fire Pig(Chinese Master Horoscope for this year) for giving me such a reward. I will continue to cultivate my skill at Financial side to earn me a better living in future. I really hope i do not work blindly for my boss only. I wish to be someone useful for society, not a donkey/dog for my boss. Sorry boss, you can't stop people from chasing their dream, anyway, i shall work hard for my boss as that is my responsibility.

返乡成功!

上个星期六成功回家了!之前吾心还忐忑不安呢!因为雨停了没几天而已,而真担心永平往三合港地其中一个低洼路段之水位未退。好在一路顺风,呵呵。

在心里还不安的时候,老神在在地在永平市区查找福州蛋面所在。嗯,是一本书介绍的。照着书中地图,不费吹灰之力就找到了。那儿还有个美眉哦!尝了几口,蛮特别的,但是并不是很适合我的胃口,不过可能适合你的呢?!呵呵。





吃着吃着,雨就下了,幸好是一场小雨而已。



吃完上路,拍了路边的积水区。

第二波水灾记 - 返乡受阻

上个星期六虽然得知水灾灾情相当严重,但还是抱着半信半疑的态度,尝试返乡,毕竟人云亦云时常发生,且容易出错。我在新山载了也想回乡的朋友后,就往永平方向出发了。概欲回乡,必经永平。到了永平时,发现市区一如往常,心里稍安,可惜在之后的路程就不甚顺利了。

出了市区,一眼望尽,水淹处处,我尝试冲出三个淹水地路段后就被前面更多更高更猛的淹水处吓着了。我与朋友考虑着该不该继续往前走,因为失败的话后果是相当严重的。在斟酌了片刻后决定还是放弃了。因为前面路途还遥远着,我们也担心即使到了还回不回得来。最后打道而返。此行浪费了车油与精神,还好吃了些永平著名食物,稍慰心情。

这里是淹水路段(永平前往三合港的路段)的照片:
