My Memorable Moment of Cyberjaya 2007-2008

It's almost 1 year since I first move into Shell IT, Cyberjaya. With an unknown direction, I have step into a strange land full with question mark(?). My first impression on this place is bored and dull. What we can do in Cyberjaya is only Eat, Sleep, Work, Online, Eat and Sleep. At that time, Internet is one of our big hope and entertainment since nothing we can do in Cyberjaya. No Entertainment, No Night Life, No Pork, No Shopping Center, Less Restorant, Less Building, Less Car and Less People.

The place that I feel anonymous and mysterious, It has now become the place that full with my memory. Within 1 year, many things happened to my life. I meet with a lot of new friends, learning new skill set, facing with society, participating on events and indirectly adapt into a totally new environment. What I love Cyberjaya the most, is less traffic jam or should I say no jamming at all compare to KL life. You do not need to worry about traffic at any time, any day during your journey to office. Tune to MyFM and it's just an another relaxable and refreshing day to work.


Flash back to previous day, I remembered there's one time because of my careless, we get hit by a car. I have no injured but Kanojo leg get wounded seriously and it tooks about 1 month to fully recovered. I feel very sad whenever I help her to massage the wounded leg. Haiz...

Apart from this, we always struggling on what to eat for dinner as Cyberjaya is really less of Chinese Restorant. Most of the foods there either Mamak or Malay. If really no choice, then only we will go Old Town which is one of our last choice. Or else, then we order Nasi lemak ayam, Mee Goreng Pataya or Nasi goreng. Most of the time we pack the dinner and eat while watching drama.
Move back to office, there's also alot of changes had been made. Our team, is considered the largest team in this project which contains around 20 staff. Because of the amount, there's alot of birthday celebration to the colleagues. We even move from Wisma 1 to Wisma 4 building due to the population growth. BUt as time flow by, slowly this team become lesser and lesser. Some leave because of their contract has ended, some leave the company for better job and some has been move to other department. This team is not more crowded as before we firstly join in Shell.

Sometimes I doubt myself if my decision to work on Cyberjaya is right or wrong. But after stay for almost 1 year. I get used to this living style together with my Kanajo... We settle everything all together, we helping each other and We love each other. Because of her, my life full of colours. Thank you Kanojo. Every moments I have in Cyberjaya is truly amazing.

Brave Story: New Adventures

Publisher: SCEI
Developers: Game Republic
Platform: PSP
Mode: Single Player
Genre: RPG

This is my 1st RPG game completed in PSP platform. Hmmm, the story is nice and simple, plus the battle system is easy to get used to it. The story mostly like a fairy tales legend, in order to save the love one, you need to surpass your brave and courage to enter into the new World named Vision to make your destiny and wish come true.

Let me describe how the story begin.

The hero for this game, Tatsuya a young 11-year-old human boy from the real world with an intense love of playing video games on his PSP, he embarks on a quest to save Miki's life by journeying to the world of Vision as a Traveler. He is given a powerful blade called the Traveler's Sword by a mysterious elderly man named Lau. Despite being so young, he wields the sword quite well in battle and the sword's own strength grows as he locates the mysterious five gemstones. He need to collect all gemstones in order to meet with the Goddess but other than Tatsuya, there're still other Travelers exist in Vision which playing an evil characters to stop Tatsuya from gathering all the gemstones. Along the journey, he make a true friends in Vision as he find himself blossoming into a successful Travelers. Demonkin which is a demonic monsters that are from another world called The Dark sealed by the goddess into the mirror for the sake to protect the Vision. In order to get the last gemstones, Tatsuya need to fight against the Demon which the seal is broken by Rei (an evil heart Traveler).

Once Tatsuya gather all the gemstones, it suppose to be the good news. But Goddess did not make any move to grant Tatsuya wish as Tatsuya is not a Traveler sent by the Goddess. That's mean Tatsuya is a fake Traveler transfer to Vision by the evil, Onba! which is the final boss of this game. but Tatsuya and companion do not know about this. Because of that, Tatsuya and friends rush to the Tower of Goddess in order to meet Goddess for the answer. And here, Onba appear in Miki form to persuade Tatsuya to give her the Traveler's sword "Demon Bane". Play yourself to know the truth and ending! Haha.

Apart from the story itself, after clear the game and save clear data. You also can play a secret dungeon. In this dungeon, the monster is totally strong. Within the dungeon, you will get the strongest weapon for all the characters and you can meet with the super strong final boss, Metatron inside this dungeon. Well, before you meet with the boss, you need to pass through the guardian, Sheng which is also a very strong enermy. I use 1 1/2hour to defeat Sheng. OMG, too strong!!! Please be aware. Once you defeat Sheng, prepare for the most craziest battle in the game. You need at least minimum lvl 70-75. God Bless You. Some tips to share here: Defense yourself when you see Metatron use "Load SpellCannon" move. Or else... hehe, you will know when you fight Metatron.

I personally rated this game for 10/10 and is really a recommended game. It available in americas version too. So no worry for those who cant read japanese.


Enjoy!

Monday Again…

I hate Monday a lot, I know a lot of people do hate Monday too but mine is a different case. It is not because of the first day of working week, but instead I need to stay out late every Monday at office until 8PM! Just for the Teleconference Call with the Businesses. Around that time, most of the colleagues already went back home enjoying their dinner. But for me, I still hanging around at office waiting for the concall to begin.

I know this is an important task to me and I know this will be a big opportunity for me to meet/discuss issue with Business Project Manager, but to stay out late until 8PM, it is a very tired job for me. This session can’t be avoided since we have to tolerate with the Business timeline where located in US and Europe.

Basically, what we need to discuss is only a general query and big issue/potential blocker that we need to sort out. To tell the truth, it is not an easy task to deal with the Businesses as most of them are experience workers with a very high profile. Because of this, every words come out from my mind need contains a strong and logical prove. They questioning a lot during concall related to working stuff. You always need to stay alert, be prepare and conscious. Or not they will shoot you like HELL!

Perhaps, is good for my learning process to interact with the Businesses. However, is kinda pressure for me to take this challenge. As time pass by week by week, I think I should be able to handle with such situation in future. As the matter of fact, Experience come from failures. Human learn from mistake. Once you learned, be confidence!, nothing will be a problem.

Starbucks Caramel Macchiato = "Normal" Coffee Ice

It started when I pass by the Starbucks Coffee shop, the entry was advertising the new invention of Starbucks products.Then I feel should have a try since I love Starbucks Coffee alot. From the statement "To Make A CARAMEL MACCHIATO, We COMBINE rich espresso, caramelly sweetness AND RESPECT For Those Who Grow The Beans", hmmm, I think it should be nicer that I thought.

Well, without any consideration, I straight away order a cup for a try. Blasphemy! Suddenly feel disappointed! What I have in my taste is just a "Normal" Coffee Ice with Milk. Shit, they should rephase the statement "To Make A CARAMEL MACCHIATO, We COMBINE LITTLE espresso, with A LOT of Milk Plus LITTLE Caramelly Sweetness AND RESPECT For Those Who Grow The Beans". To tell the truth, I didn't felt any taste of Caramel on this cup of Coffee. Maybe is it too little caramel added? or melted before I taste it?

First advise: Don't ever get cheated by the new naming invention

Second advise: Think twice before make any decision
Third advise: Don't waste your money on these so called "Caramel Macchiato"

Really not recommended and worthless!
