Angel

“你要学着做自己的天使
碰到挫折的时候
碰到不如意的事情的时候
你能够有心可以接受它
而且有能力去应变它”

“自己要先知道自己的优势
找到自己的长处
努力地耕耘自己的一方之地
不必拘泥于
外面对你的形象的一种期待
父母对你的要求
找到自己的方向”

“除了做自己的天使
你也要学着做别人生命中的天使”

“你是不是能够帮助社会
把你的关怀走到社会的每一个角落
这个其实不是学历
也不是金钱可以取代的
它需要你有热诚
就可以成就”

Golden Land 缅甸之旅 - Yangon

缅甸之旅是我第三次独个儿的背包旅行。不知不觉中,独自一人的背包旅行已经来到了第三次。而每一次独自背包回来后向妈妈报平安时,她便会说“下次不要再自己一个人去旅行了,一个人那里好玩的”。而每一次我都是敷衍地回答 say "OK"。呵呵。

每一次的独自背包旅行,意义与感想都不一样。

第一次的 Yogyakarta 是人生中的第一次独自背包旅行。当时是抱着期待以及些许害怕的感觉。可是当我搭巴士到达 Sosrowijayan后,便兴奋起来了。可能是印尼语和马来语很相像的关系,沟通上都不成问题。有幸的是可以亲身体验攀爬活火山,目睹闻名于世的婆罗浮屠佛塔。

第二次的 Ho Chi Minh City 之旅让我惊叹她旅游业的发达。酒店林立,名胜地资料齐全,让我们这些背包客可以货比三家,选到心头好。Dalat 高原的凉爽气候让人一再向往。

而这一次的缅甸之行,由于是在我新工作开始前的短暂休息,另有一番意义。

缅甸的国土面积有67.66万平方公里,人口6千万。而马来西亚的国土面积以及人口都是缅甸的一半。虽然缅甸矿产资源丰富,宝石和玉石在世界上更享有盛誉。由于受到军政府的控制,发展比较缓慢。可是她的发展潜质是有很大空间的。

我是搭 Jetstar Airways从新加坡出发到仰光(仰光不再是缅甸的首都,已经从仰光搬至中部地区的小城彬文那 Naypyidaw)。当我一踏出仰光国际机场,上了 Mother Land Hotel Inn 2派来的机场接送员的车后,心想 “原来缅甸的车真的像我在网络文章看到般的那么的残旧,大多数来自日本超过10年,20年车龄的车。” 那是因为在缅甸买新车是超级昂贵的。我在缅甸的两天一夜里看到的新车真的是屈指可数。

另一点是,我发现在仰光没有看到摩托车的。便问了当地人,原来百姓是禁止在仰光驾驶摩托车的。在仰光,只有军官可以驾驶。这一点就苦了我这位独自背包游的旅客。因为在仰光,旅游景点都不集中,单单从我住的旅馆到闻名的Shwedagon Pagoda就不是步行可到达的。只是那少于20分钟的车程,就要了我 5000 kyat (1 USD 大概等于 750 kyat)。Shwedagon Pagoda入门票 USD 5,Shwedagon Pagoda导游费 USD5。我的天啊,单单只是去 Shwedagon Pagoda就要了我 USD16。

总的来说,我对 Yangon的印象不是很好,车程好贵,做非常老爷的 taxi, 车费可以媲美新加坡。还好我原本就不打算在Yangon待太久。

在MVI工作 的最后一天终于到来了

2006年8月23日,开始了我人生的第一份工作。且是身在异乡 - 新加坡。

很荣幸地被 Mxx 录取。想不到一做就做了将近5年。在这5年里,真的学了很多东西。感谢老板,老板娘以及 Seniors 们,juniors 们与我共渡的这5年岁月。老板,老板娘真的是 workaholic,且 very technically competent。

相信大家对“天下没有不散的筵席”这句话都耳熟能详。离开工作了5年的环境,肯定有些许不舍。可是在同一个环境下工作了5年,也是时候离开了。You'll make yourself too comfortable if you stay/work in the same environment for too long.

对于将来新的工作环境,是有些许担心的。因为难得可以被 US MNC 录取,必须全力以赴地工作,以便可以顺利度过那半年的试用期。

希望 Mxx 的生意蒸蒸热上。祝贺自己前程似锦。加油!

Wedding Love Song #1 - Because You Loved Me

Céline Dion - Because You Loved Me






For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
Never let me fall
You're the one who saw me through through it all


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you


You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
I'm everything I am
Because you loved me


I'm everything I am
Because you loved me

Race Confirmation Slip

Dear YIN JIE,

Thank you for registering for the Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore (SCMS) 2011! We are pleased to inform you that your registration has been successful.


A Race ID has been assigned to you for identification purposes.


Please note that your email address and password indicated during registration will be used for your unique account log-in to access exclusive activities and privileges for SCMS 2011 participants.


You may click here to view your registration details.


Particulars

Name: YIN JIE CHAI
Email: LECXY615@YAHOO.COM
Race ID: 34291970
Race Category: Full Marathon - 42.195km

Total charge: SGD 60.00
还记得2009年,我与另外三位朋友参加了我们的第一次 10km marathon (Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore)。跑了那一次的 10km Marathon后,Ei Kai和我陆陆续续参加了一些新加坡的 Marathon Run (Yellow Ribbon Prison Run, Run Against Cancer, Passion Run)。去年,当初一起参加10km Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore的我们,报名了参加半马拉松 21km(Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore), 有一位报名了可是弃权不敢参加。我惟有替他找 replacement。那一次的痛苦经验(对他来说吧),造成他这一次不敢报名参加 Full Marathon (Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore)。最后,只剩下 Ei Kai 和我报名了 Full Marathon
(Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore)。

(Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore) 都举办在在每一年第一个月的第一个星期天,可是没有预料到的是我的人生大事在今年的12月18日。我犹豫了,到底我还能够参加吗?要完成Full Marathon (42.195km可不是开玩笑的)。你必须勤力的练习,要不然...后果自负哦。

Shey Wen 告诉我,都花了 $60报名参加,就不要放弃。可她不明白跑完42.195km的 post marathon effect (最快也要花一个星期来恢复元气)。

为了不会因为这 Full Marathon而影响我的婚礼,我必须非常勤力的去练习,以便 (even during marathon run) post marathon的effect不会那么严重。

加油哦!

p/s: 期待用三年时间完成 Standard Chartered Marathon Singapore的三个主要 category来献给自己当结婚礼物。哈哈。
2009 - 10km
2010 - 21km
2011 - 42.195km

大日子

昨天下午,老爸打电话通知我 - 12月18日是我的适婚大日子。(原本打算明年1月,可是1月没有适合的日期)
老爸与老妈真的心有灵犀,我和爸爸聊着聊着,老妈便打给我了。(这情况昨天出现了两次)
老爸行动很快,下午决定日子,晚上便带妈妈与弟妹们到“仙乐酒家”预定酒席 。(老爸说大概是60席吧,还不确定)
除了酒席,学校礼堂也 book 了,”大忴姐“也找到了。酒还剩下 Karaoke, 其实 Shey Wen和我都不大想请 Karaoke, 可是 kampung 就是这样的 style。没有 Karaoke, 也不懂要如何撑场。

接下来,一直到 Actual Wedding Day, 会有很多大大小小的婚前准备需要应付。希望一切顺顺利利。^_^

情人x知己

Unfinished Standard Chartered KL Marathon Run (Full Marathon)

上个星期天 (26th June 2011),参加了 Standard Chartered KL Marathon Run。这是我第一次在祖国参加的马拉松赛,之前10次都是在新加坡。

很惭愧的,我没有完成这一次的 Full Marathon (42.195km)。愧对于那些用金钱支持我的朋友们 (Run For Good Cause)。由于他们的慷慨解囊,我为 National Cancer Society of Malaysia 筹得 RM1,040。在此感谢他们。

没有跑完42.195km的主要原因有以下两点:
1)不自量力,两个星期前还去捐血。
2)不自量力,没有足够的训练。

年尾将会参加 Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon Run (Full Marathon - 42.195km), 不能像这次那样,要勤加练习了。

p/s: 白天跑Full Marathon 真的是会中暑啊。要勤加训练,避开烈日。

今年最好的生日礼物

上个月中,第三次呈上我的辞职信。老板说"I'm reluctant to let you go..."。最后,在我的坚持下,他也没法再次把我留下。

接近5年没有update CV,所以花了大概一天时间来更新履历表。然后便开始“狩猎”行动。第一份应征的是 Ufinity (Senior Software Engineer, Operations)。要通过3关:
(第一关:1小时45分钟的笔试)
(第二关:interviewed by IT Manager 1 hour)
(第三关:interviewed by IT Director - 三题 Puzzles 问题 30 mins)

结果:(Although your experience and qualifications are impressive, we have identified a candidate who is more closely suited to our organisation's current needs. Therefore, we will not be proceeding further with your application at this stage.)

其实比较有兴趣的是第二份应征FISGlobals的Technical Consultant。两次的Interview:
(第一关:tele-interview with Resource Manager - 1 hour)
(第二关:face-to-face interview with ??? Manager - 1 hour)

6月14日,晚上6时获得的结果:Good News, FISGlobal (US MNC)would like to offer you the Technical Consultant position. 好开心,成功了!

  女曰观乎 姑娘说道,"且去游!"
  士曰既且 小伙子说,"虽游过;

人生有三態,悲觀、樂觀與達觀

人生有三態,悲觀、樂觀與達觀
(比呂 ~ Hiiro)

悲觀的人在山腳看世界,看到幽冥小徑;樂觀的人在山腰看世界,看到柳暗花明; 達觀的人在山頂看世界,看到天廣地清。

悲觀的人說:人生像一杯苦酒,清濁均苦澀。樂觀的人說:人生像一杯美酒,點滴皆芬芳。 達觀的人說:人生像一杯清泉,冷暖都清涼。

悲觀的人看到花謝的悲傷;樂觀的人看到花開的燦爛; 達觀的人看到花果的希望。

悲觀的人見到人生的生老病死;樂觀的人見到人生的甘甜喜樂; 達觀的人見到人生的春夏秋冬。

悲觀的人嘆人生步步走向死亡;樂觀的人讚人生步步邁上尖端; 達觀的人悟人生步步回歸自然。

悲觀的人趨向陰暗一角;樂觀的人迎向光明一面; 達觀的人橫跨陰陽二界。

悲觀的人埋怨風向, 樂觀的人等待風向; 達觀的人調整風帆。

悲觀的人用加法生活,平添勞苦;樂觀的人用減法生活,減少憂傷; 達觀的人用除法生活,分享喜樂。

您選擇做哪一種人呢……?

What Are Words



Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see
How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be
Standing right beside her tonight

And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more
Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

I'm forever keeping my angel close

My 1st Full Marathon (10th Marathon)

1

2009年年尾,参加了Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (10km)。那次也是我人生第一次的马拉松。不知不觉,昨晚参加了人生的第十次马拉松。且这次是人生第一次全马拉松 (42km)。

不过,真的没有什么为这次的全马拉松做准备(练习不够)。比赛是晚上10点开始,可是由于塞车的关系,我们10:40pm才开始跑。(由于塞车的关系,还要步行3km到起点 x_X)。心想,稍后要跑42km,还要浪费体力走3km。

在这次全马拉松前,我跑过最长的是去年的 Singapore Passion Run(25km),以及去年 Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon (21km)。一下子增加那么多,跑全马拉松,真的不知天高地厚。

42km,真的是很长的路。很多参赛者,都有佩戴MP3,一边跑,一边听歌,而我却没有。当我跑到16km时,感觉左脚好象要抽痉,唯有停下脚步,休息一下。稍微休息2分钟后,便继续跑。一直告诉自己,不能休息太久,因为42km实在太长了。

好不容易跑过了21km, 25km (人生跑过最远的路程),一直到看到30km。那一刻,觉得自己是很棒的。可是距离42km终点还有12km啊。不管那么多了,告诉自己,那么艰难来到30km处,便到路边坐下,休息几分钟。

路还是要跑的,自己也不敢怠慢, go go go。30km开始,双脚肌肉真的很痛,突然想到一个策略,便是跑1分钟,走一分钟。这样,可以避免双脚抽筋。一路上,看到情侣,朋友,也有像我那样一个人跑得参赛者。估计有1万名全马拉松参赛者。

咬紧牙根,一直跑,一直走,最后终于来到40km了。看一看自己佩戴运动表的时间 - 6小时。告诉自己,继续使用跑,走的策略,便可以在6小时30分中之内到达终点。

冲过42km Finishing Line 的那一刻,真的是难以置信。过后便到Medal and food counter领取 Finisher Tee, 奖牌,香蕉,100 plus 以及 矿泉水。

终于完成人生第一次的全马拉松,现在需要注意的便是注重 Post Marathon Diet,好好补充这次全马拉松所失去的能量。

p/s: 参加全马拉松之前的体重是58kg,跑完马拉松后是55kg,自己也吓了一跳。因为来新加坡工作,一向来的体重都是大约60kg。上星期从胡志明市回来后下降到58kg,想不到跑了全马拉松后更下降到55kg。 OMG,可以想象一下跑完全马拉松所流失的水份,能量真的非同小可。告诉自己在接下来的一,俩个星期要多吃 Carb, protein之类的食物,补充失去的能量。

Skinny Love

柳暗花明又一村 We found a way when there was no way






Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My my my - my my my - my my my my - my my ...
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ...
Sullen load is full so slow on the split

I told you to be patient I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted then who the hell was I?
Cause now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you? who will fight?
And who will fall, far behind?

Come on skinny love ........
My my my - my my my - my my my - my my ... (x2)

All I need

喜欢Vampire Diaries这部连续剧。也爱上在剧集里出现的一些动听歌曲。



I'm dying to catch my breath
oh why don't i ever learn
I've lost all my trust that i'm sure we try to
Turn it around

Can you still see the heart of me
all my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don't turn me down
for all i need
make my heart a better place
give me something I can believe
Don't turn me down
you're far from the door now
don't let it close

He only had to go
I wish I could let it go
I know that I'm only one step away
From turning around

Can you still see the heart of me
all my agony fades away
when you hold me in your embrace

Don't turn me down
for all i need
make my heart a better place
give me something I can believe
Don't turn it down
what's left of me
make my heart a better place

i've tried many times but nothing was real
make it fade away
don't break me down
I want to believe that this is for real
save me from my fear
don't turn me down

don't turn me down
for all i need
make my heart a better place

don't tear me down
for all i need
make my heart a better place
give me something i can believe
don't tear it down
what's left of me
make my heart a better place

Vampire Diaries Jason Walker - Down



Verse 1

I dont know where Im at
Im standing at the back and Im tired of waiting
Waiting here in line, hoping that ill find
What ive been chasing

Chorus

I shot for the sky,
Im stuck on the ground
So why do i try
I know Im gonna fall down
I thought I could fly
So why did I drown
I never know why, Its coming down, down, down

Oh im going down, down, down ( On 2nd time around )

Verse 2

Im not ready to let go
cause then ill never know, what could be missing
but im missing way to much
So when do i give up, what ive been wishing for

Bridge

I cant find another way around
And I dont want to hear that sound
Of losing what I never found

Playing around with Blob data stored in Oracle

Below are some tips on how to read (peek) at the content of the BLOB.

1) First, to find out the LENGTH of the BLOB

SQL> SELECT length(USER_XDATA2)
FROM TRXNLOG20110317
WHERE TRXN_LOG_ID = 21;

LENGTH(USER_XDATA2)
----------------------
10

1 rows selected

Then, to peek on the content of the BLOB.

SQL> SELECT dbms_lob.substr(USER_XDATA2,8,1)
FROM TRXNLOG20110317
WHERE TRXN_LOG_ID = 21;

DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(USER_XDATA2,8,1)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0016FEFFFFFFFFFF (Hex value representation)
