25th Day

Happy Sabbath to all my SDA's friend out there. So sad can't go to church tomorrow T.T

Here we go again. Today I follow Kenny with Jack and Kristy to DBKK to help them settle the things they do yesterday. How I’m gonna explain the activity that we do? Hmm. It’s something like we secure the network by grouping them to their own VLAN. Activity involved are going to each PC in each floor and change the properties for authentication in LAN settings and take the IP address and the tag face plate. Then go back to the server room and untagged all the pc to their own VLAN and also tagged the port between the switches involved. Not a bad way to spend the day though it’s still a bit bored. Ain't it?
P/S: Just came back from PC fair in Sabah Trade Centre few minutes ago. I don’t recommend anyone to go there if you are short in money. How can they call that a PC Fair if the stuff they sell are still damn expensive compare to the market price. It’s better to visit Karamunsing and buy all IT related stuff over there.

24th Day

Gosh, it’s the first time I’m alone in the office without Jack and Kristy. In case you guys wondering, both of them follow Kenny to DBKK to do some works which I didn’t know the details. So, I was left there doing nothing. There are some short conversations with David like usual. Today he talks more about multimedia, stuff like virtual reality and animation. For example, 2 and half D (2.5 D) refer to where the background is 2D but the object is 3D. Then, he talks about clustering where there are two types of clustering which is vertical and horizontal. After the conversation finish up to this moment where I posted this post, it’s really like waiting for the chicken egg to hatch kind of situation. Its plain bored. Sometimes I do go to the staff office back there to disturb them just to kill some time. I wonder how Johnathan can stay in the office like that. I even have time to observe all kind of sounds in the office. I can hear the Photostat machine, someone stapler the paper, the sound of key stroke coming from the keyboard, sound of keystroke coming from old typing machine, sound coming from speaker where it plays the online radio, phones ringing, the staff gossiping, the sound of the air coming from the air ventilator, sound coming from the CPU, sound of someone spitting in the toilet, sound from the toilet flush, sound coming from the pipe where the water pour down and even the sound of sigh from some of the staff. You guys judge it by yourself the level of boredness I’m experiencing today.

P/S: Is this how it feels working in the office?

23rd Day

Again, we were left nothing to do for today’s activity. So, better than sitting in the office doing nothing other than online, I continue my work from yesterday to complete the log book which I suppose to done everyday starting one month ago. While I’m busy doing it, suddenly David start to talk to us about fabric (I didn’t know that stuff and never heard that particular terms in network). It’s something (not sure about this) like OS for the intelligence switch. Then, David continues to talk about phone business or something like that (seriously, I lost almost 90% of the conversation). Later that evening, David asks us (Kristy went out to DBKK follow Kenny and Laura) to implement the failover DHCP inside Srikom network (don’t get me wrong, I’m not the one who do all the works, its Johnathan. But, I also involved a little bit during this activity). After few tries, at last the failover DHCP is running successfully. That’s how our day’s end. Hopefully we got something better to do for tomorrow.

22nd Day

We successfully built the failover DHCP with the help from Johnathan. Johnathan found out the reason of why the failover DHCP are not leasing any IP address from yesterday works. It’s actually because both primary and the secondary DHCP server which will acts the failover DHCP must be sync in terms of time stamp. Quite happy with it though we didn’t do much of it as Johnathan is the one who do most of the works. Later that evening, both I and Jack follow Edward to do some errands. The first place we went is Sabah Credit where we sent the CPU and LCD monitor together with Kosmas, Chris and Benny. Gosh, we actually have to carry the first 4 monitor by hand using the stairs up to the 3rd floor because of the lift problem. Luckily, the lift is starting to work again after a little while, and then we send the entire CPU and LCD monitor to the 3rd floor. Then, we follow Edward to several places to send invoice and also taken four CPU, keyboard and mouse from STAR. After that, we went back to Srikom and end our days by going home.
P/S: Ada orang kena tipu semalam. Hahahaha.

21st Day

It’s been a month since we start our practical in Srikom. Our relationship is getting closer with most of the staff in there. But still, there’s one thing that I still not satisfied, we haven’t been given any works that focuses more on network. Today my prayer was answer, a word that I heard a lot during my PSM works, DHCP. David asks us to create a failover DHCP (I don’t do any research about this before, so it’s a new thing for me. Plus, I don’t implement DHCP in Linux) using the VMWare machine. For testing purposes, we create the failover DHCP inside the virtual network first. So, to cut story short, we spent almost the whole day thinking on how to built a failover DHCP (well, “almost” as most of the time we just play around play with FB. hahaha) with the help of Johnathan.
P/S: The new task given hasn’t completed and hopefully will be solve tomorrow.

Japanese food + The Proposal = Great Day

Japanese foods never stop to amuse me and the thrill of swallowing is just the gear needed to make me eat one today. At the same time, I fulfill the promise between me and my close friend, John to sit together eats Japanese food. We visit the only Japanese restaurant that we know in KK which in Palm Square, Centre Point. Been a long time I visit such restaurant because the last time I went is on 2008 at Sushi King, Melaka. One thing I realize, the sushi in this restaurant is far more expensive compare to Sushi King.




After enjoying the meal and paying RM70 for the food (gosh, the price is seriously surprise me), we headed straight to Growball to watch “The Proposal” which we book the ticket earlier. My verdict for the movie? Well, I strongly suggest to all people out there especially who love to watch romance comedy to watch this movie as I can guarantee you guys, it will not make you disappointed at all. It’s that good to the point that it makes your cry when you are laughing. At the end of the day, I really enjoy my Sunday for this weeks.
