Scenario: It’s April the first and I’m cracking my head to think up some prank ideas to play on my friends. I asked for some help from my genius brother.

Me: “Phothar (his home name), we do some April fools. You got any idea?”
Bro: “You are the fool and it’s April. Good idea huh?”
Me: (…..)

Lesson: Never to ask for help from a smart arse or you’ll get yourself fooled.

Have fun fooling around.

I’m wondering…

• I’m wondering, asp.net 2.0 website project does not create project file and .dll file and where all those code-behinds compiled into?
• I’m wondering, if we are to deploy it, do we only deploy .aspx and .ascx (front-end) files or have to include code-behind files as well?
• I’m wondering, why .pdb files are also included when you add project references to the website project.
• I’m wondering, why some referenced .dll creates .xml files as well.
• I’m wondering, do we need to add those .pdb and .xml along with referenced .dll in the deployment.
• I’m wondering, the main difference between asp.net 2.0 web application project and web site project.

And I’m still wondering…

Scenario: The gangs are talking about salaries at USP (University of South Pacific).

X: These gangs at USP, their base salary is 80K.
Z: They are ripping off students. Filthy rich.
X: What if all of us salary is 100K?
Y: Fiji is not that rich.
X: I’m just saying…what if our IT team salary is 100K? Everyday pizza…”Z” will be twice that size.
Z: How Rude!!
(* Chuckles *)
X: Haha I’m just joking.

Thought: The higher the salary, the better/more food in take, the bigger your size will be.

Whenever people ask for my job title, I have to stop and think for a while. I am not sure what exactly my job title is. I got a few documents saying different job titles for me. One as Analyst Programmer, another as Web developer and yet another as Software Engineer. Since I prefer working with webforms than winforms, I answer myself as a webdeveloper. What exactly am I? I’m still figuring out. May be I’m just a “Developer” among millions of “Developers”. Developers Developers Developers Developers Developers

The IT team I’m working with at the moment is made up of very young and cheerful youths in their mid 20s. They do numerous daily routines such as maintaining websites, reports, support calls, tech job such as fixing printers and whatever people ask them to help with. Most of the time, guys are running around different departments and picking calls. Very few times, you’ll find them sitting at their desk. They do shifts and some stay up really late to finish their work. Though they are busy, you will find them cheerful, always ready to make a joke and are quite loud. Sometimes they would pick on each others, calling names and saying bad things against each other. They are doing it just to amuse themselves during the busy hours and bring up team spirit.

I enjoy working with them, they amuse me most of the times and would never get bored listening to their chatters. Indeed, it’s a good team and working environment (except for closely packed room).

The followings are some of their conversations I picked up today:

Playing Music
Scenario:The guy was playing some instrumental music and others starting complaining at him.

X: May, if this disturbing you, let me know Ok? For the rest of you, you got no choice.

May: It’s Ok.

The Rest: Wow Vayah, Like that huh!

X: It’s always been like that!

(*Laugh*)

ID Card Idea.
Scenario: The guys were discussing about their new ID card design.

X: Hey who’s the best graphic designer here? What about the layout?

(One guy (Y) went up to the board and started drawing)

Y: Let’s make it like this.
We can put our logo here.
Our address at the bottom
Name here
Photo here
Then we can add Shimmering stuffs around here.

X: What’s the shimmering stuffs?

Y: You know, some sparkling things. Something like…in nightclubs. The shining stars and the sparks.

Z: Oh rite, put some neon light balls and some dangling stuffs at the bottom of the card.

Y: Yah then we show it to everyone – this is our ID card. Auu very attractive.

Z: Haha, hey make it as Business card. Everyone wanna have one too.

(*Laugh*)

Spy
Scenario: The guys were gossiping about something in quite low tone

May: Alrite guys, I’m off

X: Auu, there she go. You know what, don’t talk around May. She’s a spy from Datec

May: What? Spy?

Y: Oh yah becareful with your confidential information. May is watching.

May: Haha yah I’m a spy. Professional Spy

May: May, James May – 0007 here.

(*Laugh*)

I got this message from my contact form this evening.

Fiji Military really threatening me? For what? Just because they see my link on one politic blog? If it’s for real then send it as a formal letter with proper military seals. Come get me at my office since you know where I work.

I want a proper explanation from Military or whoever behind this nasty email. I strongly feel this as a serious harassment and would like to take action against it. This is a form of terrorizing the public. They are trying to demolish freedom of speech, most importantly shutting up bloggers’ voices, and leave people in terror to suck up to them.

Or is this some bad joke? Whoever playing this kind of sick joke will get caught one day and get punished. But to threaten someone like that, is just unbearable. If you wanted to make other people miserable then you just succeeded. I couldn’t have my dinner in peace and ate very little, you damn arses #@$%!

The more they do this kind of threats, the more they’ll be degraded by countrymen and there’ll be no place for Fiji in the international/public eyes.

Politic is nonsense. Fiji politic is shit hole. I’ll be damned if I know how to spell the president’s name right or know who the vice president is. You are messing with someone who don’t give a shit about politic. So bite me.
Some freakin’ arses spoiling my friday evening! @#%!$ Garr GARRRRRRR!!

I came across this photo from U San Oo’s Blog, I just love it so sharing with you. Check out how she gracefully wear Myanmar traditional dress and the way she was posing. Just sooo cute!!!

Come to think of it…I’ve never worn a Myanmar traditional dress in my life yet. I don’t even wear a Longyi (Sulu). I’m going to get one next time I go back Burma. The photo is a bit blur but you get the idea of how Burmese traditional dress looks like.
