Lost and Found II

It takes quite an effort to produce a well organised and constructed post about programming codes, I tell ya. I am about half way done compiling the code and with all the print-screens but still I don't think it is sufficient and it will never pass as a good post. So, until I am fully satisfied with the content and be really sure that people who reads it will understand what I was trying to show them, I will work on it some more.

Tomorrow, Mr.Snots and I will scout around for tables. I need a small yet nice console table for that little work space I have created for me in my apartment. It is right at the corner of my living room. Just perfect. I can watch the TV and do work at the same time. I hate to work in a quiet and empty room. I need some background music or anything that I could immediately turn to whenever I’m bored with my work; like watching TV or DVDs.

I found these two pictures and am not sure whether I had published (uploaded for friends to see of course) or not. And am just too lazy to check on facebook either.

Crystal Mosque in Kuala Terengganu.

Picture of a subway tunnel somewhere in Belgium (if am not mistaken)

I took thousands of pictures, some might be overlooked during the selection/editing time. But am sure I got a lot more hidden somewhere in that "ALL JUMBLED UP PHOTOS" folder of mine. But one thing for sure, I do have a lot of photos of the sky with all sort of clouds formations. *scratches head*..I must have loved looking at the sky before, but I must stress that I rather work indoor nowadays; less sun exposure, less rashes to scratch.

Standardisation.

I just got back from SIRIM for a work group meeting/discussion. Unfortunately, I can't disclose anything because we were requested to sign a confidentiality agreement.

I was just a stand-in for my boss actually, but somehow they want me to return as a permanent representative for my company due to my background and experience in cyber security issues before.

I was really lost at first because it was my first time joining this meeting, but once I get my momentum, everything appeared interesting although I must say the refreshments - two types of kuih - tasted like paper. I also met a couple of familiar faces from other CNIIs (Critical National Information Infrastructure - woah that's a mouthful). It was good catching up on what's new.

I will be doing a lot of reading on these documents to come up with a checklist, do some cross reference check and to produce a report on it. Analysis phase is upon me. I haven’t done this kind of task for so long. I was always on the technical side of everything, so it is expected that I spend hours on reading and understanding the concept and flow of standardisation process.

Lost and Found I

Found a couple of interesting photos when I was trying to free some space in the external hardisk. These were taken during a short trip to Rome. Took it with a point and shoot, and in a moving train. Didn't tweak, didn't make any colour adjustment or whatsoever. I remember it was a bright shiny day and everything that was captured was pratically awesome in the sense of levelling and lighting.

I miss taking random photos of whatever.

Egged Out!

Can't help but to be totally egged out now that everyone with nuffnang sponsored ad is currently doing their bit promoting whatzername egg. Can things get more original than this? ;)

I bet Toots would love this. The last time we had an outing she ate like 3 eggs in one seating!!

Junk or Treasure?

Well, it is true that one's junk could be another's treasure..and nowadays, it comes with a price tag.

I have came across so many preloved websites, or blogs that offer their "old seldom used" stuff, or "impulse purchase" at a dirt cheap price. Ok it is reasonable if they offer you their designer's handbags that you can't afford to buy directly from the boutique even if it is on 50% sale; given that it is in good condition, well maintained, comes with the dust bag and a warranty card; but old used clothes? I don't want to be presumptuous to say that people are surely desperate for money or being judgemental, but I think it is better to give it away than to sell it for RM5 or RM10.

There are still a lot of poor people out there that could use a set of new clothes or two; and am sure by doing that you help to put a smile on their face too.

When I was young, every year my dad would collect our old but still wearable clothes and took it with him to work. Since his work required him to travel to the very nook and cranny of my hometown, so whenever he came across a poor family especially the ones with many small children, he would approach the family and gave them our clothes. He even once took me to that area and asked me to give it to them myself and since I was really young, stupid and selfish, I couldn't appreciate it as much because at that point of time I think all that I care about was either this girl or that boy would end up wearing my t-shirts, of which some of them I still fancy.

Nowadays, from time to time, we still collect our old clothes and ask my uncle to give it to anyone who needs it. I guess my dad's act of kindness has influenced him to carry on with the good deed all these years. He will make sure that we don't give out anything that would look better in a thrash bin rather than on people and still in good condition to at least hold well for few months if not years.

I know there are organisations out there that provide temporary storage and collect clothes, food, baby supplies and other stuff and would then help to disseminate these collections to those in need.All you have to do is to google them.

I’m not so much of a big charity drive person nor would I organise any charity event, but I guess whatever that we could contribute in making this world a bearable place for them to live in, means something.
