My Nite In KL
Posted by: zorex in Day to Day

I know some of you has been wondering why my blog has not been updated for so long. One of the reasons is because I’m busy, but the main reason is that I’m lazy and I just can’t find anything to write.


The stupid traffic jam everyday on my way back home makes me no mood to do anything else beside sleep.

There isn’t much going on this month except work, sleep and cup noodle as lunch. I’ve been working on new version of my infamous WordPress plugin – Simple CAPTCHA. Here is the screenshot of how it will be like when complete.

I’m pretty much broke during this intern period. Always thinking of ways to save some $$ so that I can survive this 4 month. Besides being ‘stingy’ I also had some time to go to the famous lookup point in KL and snap one blur looking night scene of KL city.

Life of An Intern
Posted by: zorex in Day to Day

I would like to dedicate this post to all of my friends having intern this trimester:

A month has passed since we 1st talk about how each one of us will enjoy and benefit from the internship program we are taking now. Little did we know, we are become like office staff; working for 8 hours a day for 5 days (that’s if you are lucky enough not being asked to come back on Saturday).

We have different life since we all being assigned to different place for training. Those that manage to get into company that know how to utilize their skill should be thankful. Some of us are working our ass off and its not related to our study at all. I’m wondering how to write my final report and do my presentation after the end of 4 months. I can’t write that I’ve been doing data entry, moving and filing stuff, binding documents, fax documents, manage contact cards, typing some coding, meeting client and “learn” things from their discussion, fixing usual computer problem that my younger brother can do with one eye close. Frankly, we are pretty much like an office boy, we wouldn’t need a degree to perform all this task. We have heard that some out seniors did unrelated work such as photocopy, fax, filing and data entry during their internship period and this is all just part of what we all need to go through. Companies wouldn’t entrust you with important task and this is normal. Little did they know the potential in each intern. In some field, we might know more than them, perhaps more experience since we ran quite a number of big events before. Well, quote of the day: “Its wiser not to act wise”.

During this intern period, I’m a bit occupied. Seldom have my own time to do research. I felt as if I’m left behind in this one month. Much of the things I’ve learned has been a waste. I’m currently BIT Data Communications and Networking Data Entry and Comp Fixing. Much like what I did 5 years ago after I grad from high school.

Well, this is life. What can we expect? Next time when I’m a boss myself, I can also hire some intern and do the same thing on them. This is a cycle. Muahahaha….

Ok enough of whining and some pictures of my currently dog like environment. Behold my precious on my only “desk”.

My “desk” can’t take the weight of my fat precious. Have to apply some of my physic knowledge to strengthen my “desk”. Hope it can hold for 3 more months.

 
p/s:
It’s time to start working on something more beneficial. I bet a lot of my visitor are looking forward to the release of Simple CAPTCHA v2. Prototype in underway. I’ll add some new features into it as promise. But I’ll also keep the plugin as simple as possible. After all this is the main purpose of the plugin and the brand name right?
