What's the meal in the menu today?

Ok, Kian complained to me my blog just like another blog of Grace's sister, talking about food. Right now, the topic is still about food. Haha. Maybe next time change topic. How about talking about slimming. Hehe =)

Tonight's dinner is prepared by Emily. She told my Peishan about the dinner things. My Peishan just stop her straight away, cause she can't taste it. So poor, I really wish to prepare dinner for her. Already promised her, we will prepare a meal together when I'm going visit her in October. Yeah. Faster faster faster... Not sure whether I can get some nice food in Shanghai, then prepare a nice meal to Peishan. Hehe. I need Malaysia local food.

Jarod went to camping in Ubin. It's a leadership event. Got climbing, some programs can join. Since like, I has not been to Ubin for 5-6 years already. Wow, long time. And got some big changes told by Emily. Hope got the chance to go again. :)

So, what's tonight dinner. 'Mi Tai Mak'/'Lao Shu Fen' Soup. It's Short Rice Noodles in English. Short noodles that made of rice :) And what's inside the soup. Cabbage, crab stick, vegetarian meat and egg. Nice oh. I finished all of it, include the soup, not include the bowl. Haha.

Mine ... Look nice ?

What's the plan for tomorrow's dinner. Got the plan already. Hehe. Got cabbage, egg, and luncheon meat, should not worry so much. Haha.

Tofu in the Soup with Carrot and 'Abalone Mushroom'

Oh ? Blog about food again ? Yeah ..! Today is Wednesday. Has been preparing for dinner from Sunday till today, four days. =) I believe that home-made meal is healthy, because less oil, less salt, no Ajinomoto. And I like to cook. Dream of become chef one day, in restaurant. Emily likes to be in a Cafe.

Today, I prepared the dinner. Jarod helped to prepare the soup and white rice =p Today nearly can't think of 3rd dish. Thinking whether to put Abalone Mushroom into Soup or fried with minced pork. At the end, decided to put it in the soup. So soup got more food =p

So how about the minced pork ? standalone? since it's best companion, (which i believe) tofu is going along with Abalone Mushroom. Hehe... A bulb come out, cook it together with vegetarian meat ball. So? must make a creative dish. I fried the minced pork like meat ball. Hehe... Then put them together.

Resulted that Emily thought we having vegetarian foods today. Haha. The soup is nice, after the add-in of Abalone mushroom. Hehe. very sweet also with the carrot.

Going to have Wednesday dinner

Take a photo. So the upper left is the mixture of Real meat and Fake meat. Hahaha. Look alike eh...

Jarod going to Ubin for 3 days tomorrow. So how about our next night dinner? Let Emily think of it. Hehe. Maybe will pack food. oh no... how i wish i can cook. But need buy food. Just for 2 days, Thurs and Fri.

Minced Pork Tofu with Spinach and Otah

As usual, we cook again. I went to Tiong Bahru's fair price to get all the food. Then went back home to prepare the dish. Only preparing the Otah, because just put into boiling water to let it steamed. Hahaha...

Oh ? Where is another pair of Spoon and fork ? Hehe ...

Minced pork with Tofu, Otah, Spinach with Carrot. Spinach very nice. Feeling like a Popeye after eating. Haha.

Ok, the person who showing the V, Jarod is today's chef. hehe. Emily not feeling well today after riding bus. Errr... So terrible ? She vomited o ! Ooops... Don't think much.

Yet Another Farewell in Integro

Head count deducted by one in Integro today =(

Here come the Leading Actress. Suli ! Having her Pan Grilled Catch of the day sth sth... Haha. Well, saw a chocolate color ball kind of things ? Just on the sliced lemon. That's Beef Meat Ball. She didnt finish it. Grrrr...

Farewell gift. A hamster, bought by Zenn. =) Kian said just about 1-2 weeks old. Hope he doesnt get the treat like Suli's Guppies. Body of one of guppies in the soil of my plant !

The farewell card. Suli written by me. Other drawing by Lini. She is really good in drawing. Got fish, sloggy plant, bee, and Cookies, Chocolate, candy which Suli like the most =p

Cheese Tofu in Japanese Curry

Who's that? Yeah. Jarod, Emily's boyfriend. Preparing white rice for us (include me). Hehe.. So, what's today's food ? Luncheon Meat, Cabbage with Slice Carrot, Samba little fish and Cheese Tofu in Japanese Curry. Of course, the iron is not included =p

Close look. Actually, intend to put slice fish cake, fish ball and meat ball into that Japanese Curry. But all 'spoilt', got a heavy smell. Should put them into freeze area. Aiks... Wasted. Ok, all food are prepared by Emily. Very nice =)

Those are last Friday dinner. Hmm, today Emily cook again. And I burnt my finger because of hot wok cover. Grrr.. very hurt. Immediately apply Aloe Vera Gel. Ouch ouch...

Beck is really back !

Cool. Did watch the replay of the friendly match between England and Brazil on Saturday.

Really a long time never watch Beckham playing soccer, I mean for me. =p Due to his recent great form in La Liga, McClaren recalled him for the England. Got some good pin-point passes from him, but lack a bit of luck, Owen can't manage to finish it.

Really don't know why Gerrard must partner with Lampard. In this match, Gerrard did some good defense, Lampard, well, made some successful pass. Other than that, I really can't see both of them can cooperate well, like Scholes and Carrick in ManUtd. They just cant get the ball to forward. On the left, Joe Cole seem like lack of form before he injured. Not good enough in Chelsea and also England. Lucky, Shorey did help him up.

Brown, as a substitution for Captain, made a 'impact' to England. Alves, Dutch League Top scorer, nearly scored because of Brown's poor awareness. Seem like there is a limit for him to grow in ManUtd and England. Do something ...

If not of the decent form of Beckham, don't think England can get a single goal. Good luck for coming match on Wednesday. =)

Least, Greatest vs Sign, Decode in Oracle

SELECT DECODE(SIGN(30-40), -1, 30, 40) FROM DUAL;

So, what does this piece of SQL query mean?

SIGN(x) = 1 where x > 0
SIGN(x) = -1 where x < 0
SIGN(x) = 0 where x = 0

So, the above result is 30. Ok, what if 30 is not just 30 and 40 is not just 40, where 30 and 40 are very long expression. What the SQL query will look like? And you need to maintain it. Insane. And really admire previous developer's work. The query is very very long. Then just found out what he/she intend to do.

Ya, you are right, the query is to find which is the Smallest number. So is there any Function can achieve such great work ? Yes, Least and Greatest.

Finally, the query become like this:
SELECT LEAST(30, 40) FROM DUAL;

LEAST(10, 20, 50, 70) = 10
LEAST('10', '2', '3', '7') = 10


Cheers

Writing Code for Easy Testing

As a developer, what kind of code are going to write? A code that easy readable? A code that is easy maintainable ? Well, I think, writing a code that is easy for testing come first =)

Actually a code that is easy for testing also meaning that piece of code is easy to read, easy to maintain. Recently encounter such situation...

[Big] a very big service object
[Serv] a service object
[Abstr] a abstract object
[Conc] family of [Abstr], meaning [Conc] can use all feature in [Abstr]

To fulfill a hug task, [Big] -> [Serv] -> [Abstr] -> [Conc]

Not all methods in [Serv] are exposed to [Big] , meaning [Serv] will do itself in it's context, but it depends something from [Big].

[Conc] and [Abstr] is really a terrible "couple". Some methods in [Conc] will call methods in [Abstr], even worse that [Abstr] might call back to [Conc] in the same method!

So, when going to test a very very small task. Need to understand all this 4 Classes! Should it be just need to understand [Conc] is enough? Today, thinking of testing that very very small task, so need to write a new [NewConc] that based on [Conc], but found out that this 4 Classes are very dependable, So give up. Yiak.

Come out a plan to Revamp whole things ? Well... All because of that [Big] thing. Which is also used by others NOT similar [Serv] object. So give up also.

So, write a code that is really really easy to test is Top priority. =)

20 days between Shanghai and Singapore

Well, it's has been more than 20 days, I and Peishan separated from each other. :'(

I'm of course in Singapore, she in Shanghai now. Yes, you are right. China's Shanghai. As a Sourcing specialist for HiP Internation Ltd , a Manufacturing company. She will station there for 1 year! Yes, that's for 365 days! Oh my god, some of friends feeling happy for me, as I will become temporary bachelor. Hmm... Some feeling sad for me. Yup, I will not be happy for that actually.

Start from very very beginning of our love journey, she's been helping me on the small small things. Such as tidy up the room, table, my personal things (include underwear, oopps, actually is like wallet, handphone, etc), a lot more which I don't like to take care. Hehe. But she will scold me for messing up! my goodness! I really not dare to touch anymore of my wallet or handphone after reach home when she's still around. Haha. Who will love to kena scolded ?

I like to cook. Dreaming of become a chef one day. Probably at 50 years old? Hehe. These 20 days, has been cooking for quite couple of days, really wish to cook for Peishan to feed her full full （喂到饱饱）. Really miss the days she's here, and I cooking for her. Gotta wait for 1 year. Another 11 months and 9 days to go :) still counting down.

So, what's the plan ? Yup, plan to fly to Shanghai and visit Peishan. Yes, I'm going to book a air ticket around this week. Plan to fly to look for her on October, 1st week. It's Golden Week in China, 1 week public holidays in China. It's Independent Day.

Next plan, I'm probably flying to Malaysia to work on Alliance Bank Project. Well, a good start for me, Cause wish to apply some of my 'advanced knowledge'. And wish the project can be done well, so wont create 'Dang' for Support team. Am a support team member for Stanchart Project.

Therefore, I am maybe somehow 100 - 300 km nearer to Peishan. Haha. Wish us all the best :)

Dumb Dumb

3rd Jan 2007 was my parent's 25th Wedding Anniversary. Yeah.

So, that day my dad has called me and brother for the dinner. Intended to stay in SG over the weekend but Dad said try my best to back. So, Saturday, I and PeiShan back to Malaysia after doing some personal stuff.

Yeah, dinner. Fish, Chicken, Pork, Vege, and Indo Prawn, everything is very nice, especially the fish. It's 红鱼 (Red Fish). After that, Brother (without his GF) suggested to go go Jaya Jusco. Ended up we watched Night at the Museum. Nice movie. 'Dumb Dumb' is from this movie.

*Updated* Before we going to watch the movie, we went to read some book about 'Feng Shui', just know that 82's Doggie is very good in the coming Piggy Year, promotion, pay rise, marriage. Wah ... There are so many 82's doggie, will I be the one to get such fortune, Haha... After that, we went to Starbuck. Mum said Mocha is just too normal, and the place too crowded. Errr...

Has been long time we never celebrate the anniversary, and also has been a long long long time we never watch movie together. Last movie, if I am not wrong, was Batman and Robin (watched in Holiday Plaza, cinema has vanished), Heehee, miss that moments. Dad said when we were young, is he brought us to go for movie, now, we should bring them for the movie. Yes, it's really long time whole family never go for somewhere for relax or holiday. So, should do that often, else when the time we are like my parents, kids will just dump us in the home.

This blog is dedicated for the family.

粉红色的雨天

哈哈，最近真的是太恐怖了，几乎不知从什么开始，天天都在下雨，老天爷就连美好的夜晚也不放过。

这个晚上，送走了佩杉最小的弟弟回马来西亚，然后我和佩杉就冒着‘大雨’的风险冲回家。嘿嘿。

佩杉在删除我手机里的简讯（超过1400封）的时候，偷偷拍下我的背影！那个是她的书包，不是我的。:'(

近距离偷拍。

撑着伞偷拍。（故意的）

被我发现了，我的回眸一笑，哈哈！
