Updates.........

Nothing much had happened for this month. Apart from trying to settle down in my new project based in "Little India", CNY prep and celebration, i spent most of my time sourcing for my new tank scape. Went through a few books regarding fish tank scape and i finally found my ideal scape. Hence, i am now sourcing for the materials i.e. the substrate, media, and accessories. I came across the mizu-world website and found most of the needed stuffs and now awaiting the new stock of ADA Amazonia II soil to arrive before i placed my orders with them.

The link between love and IT terminology

I was chatting with my good buddy "The Fly" and one of the topic is about the terminology used in Love context and IT and we discovered that there is actually a link between them.

So let us start off terminology, we have the following:

Love
-Looking for partner
-Courting
-Dating
-Marriage
-Starting a family (having kid)
-Having affairs after marriage

IT
-Pre-sales
-SIT (System integration testing, testing done by developer)
-UAT (User acceptance testing, testing done by end-user (customer))
-Cutover (The application will be deploy onto the live system)
-Change request/ User Request (enhancement made to the application after cutover)
-Project by phases

The link between them are as such:

For those looking for a partner, it is like pre-sales in IT. You go around looking for customers who will need to development new application.

Then you managed to close the deal and development work started. This is when a guy start courting a girl by trying all sort of romantic methods and talking "Want to be my steady boh...." . Similarly, development will try out different coding logic and hoping to settle with a best solution.

Once the girl go "steady" with a guy, there is when UAT starts. User will test the logic and ask how come like this and result is not acceptable sort of thingy. The girl likewise will start to pick out all the faulty parts in a guy in hope of changing them to her liking.......

Finally UAT passed, user agreed and signed off, you know "Guy:Will you marry me? Gal: I DOOOOOOO..........". There is when marriage happens, initial period will be critical period, the couple will be in honey-moon period. Likewise, developer will be on 110% alert to look out for any issue.

After sign-off, the preparation to cutover the application to live system take place. This is when the couple decided to have a kid.

As for having external affairs, well sometime in IT project, it is split up into various phases. Once phase 1 completed, we kicked off phase 2, whole new requirement and new code. Just like affair, a new partner with new excitement.....

Cheers

Miss my family...............

For the past few days, i have not seen my wife and my baby gal in awaken form.When i arrived back at home from the "Shitty" work i am currently in, they are already asleep and when i woke up, they had already left the house.

How long can i hold on until i reach breaking point, every day is like paying a visit to Little India where you are flooded with Indian smell and the word that you heard is Tamil and the world is like swinging left and right..........I really start to despite them.

God please help meeeeeeeee..............
