It has been a year since I last went for Oracle Customer Day seminar which I still remember the last time I went was in the Dorsett Hotel. This year the event is organized at Traders Hotels – Shangri-La at Komtar.
I fetched Chan HH and Ong LK there and reaches at about 8:20am. Chua CK was already there. After registered ourselves, we were treat with light breakfast while waiting for other registered participant to come. It’s as usual, the Malaysian time so most of them are basically late. We started our seminar slightly late as the result but the presenter was doing well trying to keep it within the time frame.
Ok, it’s a nice seminar which introduce the Oracle 11g database with it’s features compare to the previous version. They also offer a number of other product that helps to improve the lead time of database query and process. Also was introduce was the new My Oracle Support which was the replacement for Metalink. It’s kind of interesting as it was not the same as last year apart from just some minor item.
After the seminar, I went over to On-Cost to collect Adrian stuff as well as my own. I ask them how long would it take to fix the side step and they told me it would be approx. of 30 minutes. I ask Chan HH and Ong LK to spare me the time to fix it … so they went to the nearby market to help themselves while I get my side step fix.
Finally it’s done … after about 45 minutes but never mind la, it’s a nice item too. This week I’ve got my ride two nice items. Feel very happy but pocket was burned with a hole now. I’ve tested the item, very bright and the wording is nice. Now my only concern is would the LED burn if it contact with water when I wash my car

Oh no, another one is leaving yet again and I am still here seeing people leaving. This time though she is not from the IT department but her work is rather IT related. Anyway her background was also IT. She’s the OA to Purchasing department who liasing closely with us IT people so that’s how I got to know her.
Basically she’s not my user however due to her role as OA and I am the administrator for some reporting services, on and off she would be requesting me to help her to create user and grant role to access those report. Since I directly involve with her, I can’t speak much about her. All I know is that she’s a nice person, very helpful and also responsible person because she put in a lot of effort in getting thing done. She should be a real patient person as well as she’s able to deal with John without much complaint lol. Anyway all the best to her.
Ops, back to daily stuff … I fetched Adrian (yeah he is in Penang again) to On-Cost yet again to get his D1 Spec Grounding Cable Kit and the Pivot MegaRAIZIN voltage stabilizer but unfortunately it was out of stock so he can’t collect it today. In another word, I will be collecting on his behalf tomorrow once the stock is available.
After that, we went to the airport to fetch Serena and Keith before heading to QBM for dinner @Kim Gary restaurant. On our way back, we saw this Adrian think it’s a nice one but I don’t think so … it’s a semi gloss and matte black Honda Civic. Anyway … still Honda!!!
Original Mugen Emblem November 16, 2009

Though it’s Monday today but I was more than happy to go to the office as I would be getting my original Mugen emblem which I’ve got it for RM20.
Overall, it’s a nice item and I’ve already have idea on where I shall stick it on my ride. It would be on the front grills chrome bar but not quite sure of the exact place yet as I need to check how it would look like and get the feel for each different place that allows.
Finally I decided to stick it by the end of the passenger side as that would make it look nicer as well as fitted well onto the getting narrow bar. Nice item 
Taking Bus Back November 15, 2009

Since I went back with Adrian yesterday, today I had to take bus back to Penang lol. It has been quite sometimes since I last took bus back from Sitiawan to Penang. Probably the last time I was taking bus was when I have to drive the Kancil back to Johore.
It was a 2:00pm bus and my aunt took me to the Manjung Bus Station. As usual Malaysian are late and same goes for the bus, it was about 15 minutes late from schedule. Along the way, I spend most of my time sleeping until I reaches Butterworth but I did not stop at the Butterworth main bus station instead I stop at a bus stand near the Pacific Mall. Jane would be picking me up from there and have dinner at her place before going back to Penang island. It was raining heavily then.
At night, I went collect the carbon fibre sticker for Adrian near my office as they seller staying somewhere nearby then. It’s a real nice deal as he gave me RM10 discount over the total price. Probably will get more from him soon.
HomeDec Again November 7, 2009

It has been quite a while since the last HomDec visit in July and now HomeDec is back again after 4 months lapse in between. This time around, I found that the stalls was lesser and same goes for the patrons of the day (maybe happened to be during my visitation period lol).
Since we have almost everything yet some not really in the list at this moment, nothing much we could get from there. I bought myself an oven and Jane also got herself something (didn’t know what I shall call it, refer to picture). It’s a bit bored actually for this round HomeDec exhibition. Oh well … not like I gonna buy a lot from there hahaha
Library System November 5, 2009

It’s kind of for charity since this system would be used by a charity organization, so I’ve accepted to help developing the system. It’s basically a simple spec system using rather conventional database, Microsoft Access 2007 and development tools of Visual Studio 2005.
Along the development process, though it took me about 24 hours to complete but I seriously faces several problem, surprisingly it’s not with the programming syntax instead with SQL syntax for MS Access as it’s quite different from Oracle syntax. Apart from that, the database design was not well design, I did some minor changes to it lol.
Anyway, glad that it has completed and now pending on user testing. Hopefully it would be complete as whole cycle soon.
My New Neighbour November 3, 2009

For exactly a year I’ve moved here, finally I have new neighbour moving in. For the whole last year since 1st Nov 2008, there was only a neighbour on my floor apart from two which was empty all the while. Until end of Feb 2009, it only left us alone living on this floor but … now we’ve got new neighbour.
Actually they are none other than Jane’s friend/colleague/ex-coursemate and her partner. Anyhow … it’s good to have someone living around … welcome to our neighbourhood
Noodle Station October 30, 2009

Shop: Noodle Station
Location: E-Gate, Penang
Rating: 5/10
Today we had our dinner at Noodle Station, E-Gate. Hmmm, actually we have no idea on what to eat and just to drop by E-Gate to see if we have any better option or otherwise to play safe, my favourite Sushi King. Anyway, there are several option apart from Sushi King like Starbucks, Old Town, Noodle Station and etc. Finally we give a try at Noodle Station.
I ordered myself a garlic source dried spring mee with honey braised drumstick while Jane choose to have soup base crabstick and fish ball mee. I was having a bit doubt at the drink they have so we only ordered an ice blended frappuccino. Basically, it wouldn’t visit for second time I think, not really suit me because I felt it’s like MSG based food more than original recipe prepare food. Jane was not having the appetite and not able to finish hers.
Anyway overall, I would rate it 5/10 to be lenient but actual facts, probably I would give 4/10.
