XeerSoft Day

Last Wednesday it's XeerSift Day...
company day la...
it's held once a month...
no work on that day...
only fun fun and more fun...



we had treasure hunt that morning...
but before that...
we were divided in teams...
and play a short tug-of-war...



Team A (3rd from the left is Eddie)...



Team B...



Team C...



Team D...



Team E...



Each team have a rope...
and was tied to this thingy...
every team send out a menber to pull...
team who crosses the line is lost...



you could see the circle...
each team stand outside it...
who was pulled inside lost...
later rule are change...
all member pull together...
and who's rope break wins...



later all gather for the treasure hunt...
each team was given a coloured paper...
and hints to 11 spots...
find all and create a sentence with the alphabets...



the hunt started...
Team A is discussing...



Found our first clue...
later we only found 9 out of 11...
some team found 10...
and some found all...
team E won...
the sentence is: WE ARE FAMILY...



After that, went back to the office...
played a game to guess who's personality by drawing strip of papers...
the paper was written by everyone earlier...



combining all the games score...
team D and E are tied...
so it was decide by the Great Wall of China...
Team E is the fastest...
so they won...
then was followed by books review...
book name: Man searching for meaning...
later, proceed by sales update...
and concluded by inspiration speech...
a video speech by Harry Potter author: J.K. Rowling...
it's about failure and not to give up...

it's a different experience...
it's fun and exciting...
but also tiring...

P.S.: Pictures taken by Elaine and some by Angie...

Cactus

I've been working for a month dy... well, learned a lot especially on the company's system and how it works... meeting clients and doing support is also a part of my jobs... actually just helping Eddie.... almost every week I went out to client site at least a day or two... following Eddie around is fun... but also tiring... he's a very friendly guy... and knows a lot... tell me a lot about the working environment and this and that... sometimes too many information that I could not 'digest'... need time to process... a very nice guy he is... he always say:"I won't throw you to the sea one, don't worry"... hahaha... gives me tasks and explain very detail on what I'm suppose to do... even though he's very busy at times... he still spend a little time for me to teach me stuffs...

As you could see... there's cactus in this post and the previous one... well, there's almost one on every desk in the office... including mine... the previous post cactus is above my desk... and the above picture is from the other office... took it while waiting for Daryl after work... the cactus is actually gifts from the previous interns... but I have no idea who...

And this is my room space hole where I sleep everyday... on my first two weeks, the room is empty (look at the above picture and imagine without the double decker and cabinet)... only the chairs and the right selves... I slept on the floor... with mattress of course... the bed and cabinet only delivered on my third week here... now I sleep on top and Daryl sleeping below (previously he was sleeping outside in the living room cause got air cond)...

Here (KL), everything is like double of Melaka... the price I mean... a plate of chicken rice will cost you RM5 but in Melaka you could get it for only RM2.50... Milo ice here is about RM1.80 but in Melaka is only RM1.50 or less... ok, not everything is double... but you get my point... they charge you so much but is kinda ok la... a lot of stuffs... but some charge you so much... nothing one, bo 'liao'... for example, a bowl of fish ball mee for RM4.00... all you eat is the mee, fish ball can count with one hand... how to survive, one day lunch and dinner almost RM10 or more dy... if my pay is RM500, 1 month 30 days, RM10 per day... then it will be RM300 dy... plus electric bills, water bills, daily stuff some more ler... RM500 also dono enough not... haih...

Two months more to go... after that will be going back to campus life for another 4 months or so... FYP didn't even touch at all... no time and if have the time , I rather be doing other stuffs or sleep... for my JLPT, really don't have the mood to study... two more weeks before the exam... sei la... and next week will be going back Melaka... miss my parents and my mom's cooking... and also my dog... hahaha... and my room of course... ja, sayounara...

P.S.: Currently at the hostel... din go to my sister place cause got stuff to do...

Can't wait...

Everyday...

It's been 3 week since we started our training... for me, it's a whole new experience... and I had learned so many stuffs... more tasks will be given to me on the days to come... according to Eddie, I'm suppose to learn all the basic stuff in a month... after that task given to me will be tougher and tougher... as you all know, he's currently doing on the Roystar project... and just 2 weeks, he was assigned with 2 more projects; NEP (Diamond water) and HEC (no idea what the heck it is :D)...

So, since I'm under him... I have to help him on whatever he is doing... Roystar project are already hectic since it has 6 branches (I went to only 2 of them)... for NEP, it's a new client... their HQ located at South City Plaza... damn huge... and during the first meeting for client requirements... there serve us 3 jugs water (10 people in the meeting, 3 of our own including me)... of course la, Diamond mah... hehehe... while for HEC, I had no idea what it is about... the HQ is at Melaka... so it was manage under Melaka department (we had KL and Melaka branch, KL is Developement and Delivery department while Melaka is QA department)... but HEC has 2 or 3 branches in KL, so it was assigned to Eddie...

I'm not bragging here... not to tell all of you that I had so many stuff to do till I can't take a deep breathe... it just seems like I had a lot of stuff to do... but actually not... I just do all the small and petty stuff... and sometimes, when Eddie is busy, I had nothing to do... or after I finished my tasks, and he have no other tasks for me, I'm bored too... so I'll go search for something to read or make short notes for my log book... I have no planned tasks, everyday is a 'surprise'...

So to those friends out there that has no stuff to do, yet... and just sit around staring at the clock (or fire extinguisher)... don't fret, walk around and ask people (yes, sometimes they're busy, so come back later)... that's what I do... if not you'll learn nothing... or find stuff to read or search online (if you have computer and internet access)... be patient for a few more days (or maybe weeks, haha)... they'll surely give you things to do... think it (boring times) as a task... a task to make it interesting (un-boring)...

Everyday is a new beginning...

We sing, we dance, we steal things

No, that's not what we do in the company... we provide web-based business solutions to our clients... that is basically what we do... meet the client... do requirements on what their business are... and provide our solutions to fit their business...

This week I still do almost the same stuff again... but got some coding too... I also dunno how to say la... too many stuff... and I am lazy to list all... some are just small and simple task... but some are tougher that need some time... mostly are testing stuff... but basically what I do is just little stuffs... absorb as much as I could... because 3 months are too short to learn all...

Weekdays other than work, I had little time for myself to do stuffs... I normally finish work around 6-7pm depends on the task and sometimes got meeting till very late... if I follow my colleagues for dinner... I would reach home around 9-10pm... if not I eat nearby and reach home around 8pm or so... bath and online a while need to sleep dy around 11pm or latest 12am... wake up at 7.30am the next morning...

Weekends feel so lazy to do anything... every weekends I went to my sister place... she come and fetch me on Friday night... very tired to do stuff... I sleep early around 12 and woke up around 9am... cant sleep dy... then evening sure have an evening nap... here, I would do my log book and I'm suppose to study for my JLPT test on the 7th December... but I no mood to study.... mostly I would follow my sister for food and shopping...

Got stuff do also sien...
no stuff do also sien...

I've been busy...

Ok, I'll update... just a summary on what I do okay...

1st day:
- Reported myself to the company, the company name is XeerSoft Sdn. Bhd.
- I was assign under Eddie, Project Executive... He's a very friendly guy, teach me a lot...
- He brief me on their company organization and his current project called Roystar, a travel agency which he is currently handling...
- He teach me on how to use the invoice billing system, cause he say we'll be going to the client site (Roystar) for training, there's a lot of steps...
- Then he asked me to test the Time Attendance (TA) on XP and Vista...
- After that, join their problem sharing meeting, it's basically to share the problem they are facing and find a solution...

2nd day:
- Get my company email address and employee ID...
- Join another problem sharing meeting, this time is about reviewing the feedbacks from clients...
- Then Eddie asked me to test a script on the Roystar live server on the automatic select system that went back to the default value after saving...
- After that, do the online guidelines or FAQs on the CRM modules on Roystar live site...
- Rehearse on the invoice billing with Eddie...
- Another problem sharing session, this time about the client Roystar, the development team coding standard, Google Applications, and the forming of another new department called Application Team...

3rd day:
- Went to Roystar Headquarters at Jalan Imbi for the client training...
- We have to train their front desk individually and make sure they know how to use it...
- There's 8 people and we have to wait for each person to be free so to not interrupt their work...
- So we have to be on stand by the whole day (9.30am-6.00pm)...

4th day:
- Do the documentation and summary on the feedback from Roystar frontdesk...
- Test and insert new folders on Roystar server (SQL)...
- Test and change the allignment of the invoice billing template (HTML)...
- At 2.30pm, went to NEP Diamond water for client requirements located at South City Plaza, it's a new client, basically is to get information on their company and their operation so to suit our system, meeting ended at 5.30pm...

So, that is basically a summary on the stuff I've been doing at the company... the company has a very friendly environment and everyone does not hesitate to teach... and I learned a lot in just 4 days... especially when going out to the client site... Eddie bring me out even though I'm still new... he say just to have a look and feel on the business environment... and I really experience it... even though I don't understand more than 50% of what they are talking about... but it still a new experience for me... hahaha...

P.S.: I din online or update my blog this couple of days because I don't have my lappie with me... I went to have a look on the surrounding and environment first before deciding whether to bring my lappie with me... most probably will...

Kinda tired during weekends...
cause been lack of sleep...
