81th to 85th Day

77th to 80th Day

Mon/2nd Nov/77th Day

Hmm. What did i do that day? Oh yeah, i remember. I follow Edward with Jack, Lim and Cosmas to help him setup the monitor at RRR for the General Manager meetings on the next day. After went to Frankie's cyber cafe to take ten monitor and having our lunch. We headed straight to RRR and arrive there around 2 pm. As I expected, an easy job becomes complicated and time consuming as it always the case in RRR, well, at least for me. ^^ Another OT for me, Jack and Cosmas that day. The next day, the three of us decided to take leave. ^o^

Wed/4th Nov/78th Day

Snappping photos task at last started that day starting at Wisma Merdeka|Phase 2. Well, indeed it's not a fun works since you have to walk a lot and speak a lot (one significant incident happen that force us to ask for a permission to take photos on each of the shop lot inside it. We been scolded by one of shop owner since he doesn't want us to take photos of his shop. Something related to trademark register or copycat. Damn that guy.). We can't finish the photo snapping for Phase 1 since the manager are not around.

Thur/5th Nov/79th Day

Today, we continue our photo snapping task at Wisma Sabah and Wawasan Plaza. Still, as i mentioned yesterday. Not really a fun works since we walk a lot and also sweat a lot because of the heat from the sun (we still need to go outside to take photos if the shop lot are facing outside rather than inside). That evening i stay in the office and help him with his works.

Fri/6th Nov/80th Day

We can't continue the photo snapping task since there are many people in the shopping complex during that day. So, i decided to follow Kenny back to RRR again. One firewall need to be install in the network. Eric have give Kenny all the commands and checklist things to do but still we are stuck somewhere as always the case is in RRR. What's with that place? There's never an easy and less time consuming works there. After all the routing are doing fine, suddenly the email server is down and force us stay there until 2 am in the morning. But guess what, it still didn't work and Kenny finally decided to revert back to the original design using one firewall with the email server is still down since we are damn tired and sleepy. Not to mention hungry. To cut the story short, i reach home around 5 am. The funny things is, i even got a consolation prize. Flu. Well, i think that things are to be expected after a grueling 12 hours in the server room.

p/s : After all that hard time in RRR. I do believe networking for non-government staff is really tough. Not only networking side but also the technical part which is cabling. Really gonna think hard for the future based on this experience.

70th - 76th Day

Wed/21th Oct/70th Day

There's nothing much happen that day if i'm not forgotten. I just stay in the office and still trying my best with Jack to solve the LDAP task given by Eric.

Thur/22th Oct/71th Day and Fri/23th Oct/72th Day

I'm back to RRR with Kenny again and this time with Jack to solve the problem we faced on last tuesday. Haven't solved the problem on thursday (most probably because of the public ip given) though we went back a bit late and the three of us came back there again on friday and it's really out of my expectation that the three of us are forced to stay there one night to solve the problem. Imagine, we have went to server room around 2 am in the morning though it's not a bad idea after all since we have a chance to stay in the hotel room. The guest internet connection still having a problem where the connection are intermittent. So, we try to check the routing and kept changing the public ip and the routing. So, around 3+ am, we give up and headed to sleep. But suddenly in the morning, it seems that the guest internet connection are doing fine though there are still some intermittent problem but at least it's more better than the last night. We went back to office the next day around 3 pm. So, that's how the RRR second internet line tale finish. (Pity for Kenny as he went back there again that evening as the administrator connection turn out having a problem)

Tue/27th Oct/73th Day

It's been a while since i follow Edward going out. That morning i follow Edward to PERKESO to do PM with Cosmas and Chris while Kristy and Jack follow Benny. There's nothing much happen as it's just a normal routine where we do defragmentation, hard disk error checking, anti virus scan and a little bit of cleaning the pc. That evening, i just stay in the office and kept myself busy by either playing Facebook or do some reading and CCNA flashback since i got nothing else to do.

Wed/28th Oct/74th Day

Almost the same with yesterday evening session activities. I just stay in the office and kept myself busy by either playing Facebook or do some reading and CCNA flashback since i got nothing else to do.

Thur/29th Oct/75th Day

That day myself and Jack follow Kenny to Jabatan Laut to solve the wireless problem in there. It's been reported that the wireless connection are down. So, we headed there and try to troubleshoot it. At first, we thought maybe it's because the cable for the wireless are connected to the wrong port in the switch since the switch port have been configured with VLAN but that seems not to be the problem. So, we try to check the Nomadix and still the nomadix are doing fine since it's leasing an IP address. So, we directly headed to the wireless AP itself and it turns out to be source of the problem after we take out the battery. Thanks God it's that easy after that a hell of a time in RRR.

Fri/30th Oct/76t Day

Today marks the start of task given to me and Larry by Christina supervise by Kevin which is to take picture of shop lot. But for today, we just simply went to three places which was Wisma Merdeka, Wisma KK and Centre Point to ask for permission and show them the paper work given by DBKK. Wonder how the works will go on this Monday.

69th Day

My first OT during my practical. Hohoho. Today, i follow Kenny to RRR to setup the second internet line. Though we expected that it will take times to finish it but it's far than i expected i would be back home around 11 pm. After doing some routing and configuration on the new Router and the load balancer. By right, the second internet should be working fine. But as always, it turns out to be a problem. So, we try to fix it until late night but the problem still doesn't solve. What a turndown event it was. That's how my days were spent.

68th Day

What have i done today? Oh yeah. Now. I remember. It's back to the old days Today, i follow Lim to DBKK to do printer maintenance. It's quite the same job as i done almost 2 months ago which was cleaning the dot matrix printer and some color printer. But it's quite a bored task and i would been lying if i say i don't like it. But anyway, a job is job and i still do my best to finish it.

68th, 69th and 70th Day

Wed/14th Oct/68th Day and Thur/15th Oct/69th Day

Both this day were spent trying to understand and complete the task given by Eric to us. It's about LDAP or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. Or in easy explanation, it something like Active Directory for unix version. Though i don't even fully understand Active Directory itself, so this task is gonna be harder that i expected. Up to this two days, there's no improving progress as we are stuck on how to configure the configuration script file. Hopefully we were able to do some improvement progress next week.

Fri/16th Oct/70th Day

Today, i follow Kenny, Soel and Cornelius to Rasa Ria Resort. There's nothing much happen or to do as Soel and Cornelius only have to install 4 network point and both me and Kenny just do a simple network setup between two pc and even were given a handout on how to do it. But we do finish a bit late because of the problem they are having where the system were attack by a virus and it makes a fuss in there and Kenny were unable to solve that. Maybe Eric needs to go back there and check it since it looks bad (i don't fully understand of what happen).

Noted : Gosh. It's been 5 days since my internet were down because of the problem then TM are experiencing now (seems that they system were attacked by a virus). Hopefully it will works fine again next week. Not only i'm unable to download but at the same time i also can't play farmville and mafia wars at night anymore. T.T

66th & 67th Day

Monday/12th Oct/66th day

Another week have to be faced. Today, there's nothing much happen as i follow the staff to do things as usual. In the morning, i follow Edward to finish the device tagging for DBKK that myself and Cornelius done few days ago. In the evening, i again were bring by the staff to help them carry and install 20 pc's in the Cyber cafe. Luckily we were able to finish the job before 5 pm where 9 man power were used to finish it.

Tuesday/13th Oct/67th Day

Again today i were bring out by the staff to help them. My partner for today is Jack and both of us follow Benny. As usual, there's nothing much happen as we only do some printer maintenance or just accompany Benny to the customer site and look at him settle the jobs. -Sigh- That's how my days today were spent.

65th Day

What i've done today? Oh yeah, i remember. Today, myself, jack and chris follow Edward to help him assemble back all the pc which was 20 in total in the megalab at UMS. Though we didn't plan to finish it in one day but because of our GREAT teamwork, we do finish it even before 4 o'clock in the evening. Not a bad way to end another miserable 5 days though it's a bit energy consuming.

64th Day

Another day without motivation in myself. Today, Edward bring me and Cosmas to DBKK Centre Point branch to finish the job that both me and Cornelius have done the past two days. Same as usual, we take record whole devices serial number range from HP switch, server, printer and UPS. Then, in the evening. Both me and Jack follow Benny to certain places to do some troubleshoot at the customer site and also do some printer maintenance. That is how my days ends.

63rd Day

Guess what? Day by day i'm feeling less motivation to go to office. I just keep doing stuff that are not even gave me any input or knowledge. Today, i continue my works yesterday with Cornelius in DBKK for half day. Then, in the evening. I again follow Cornelius with Simon. I would say that is one of a hell bored experience ever. Simon visit the incomplete office site to check the place. The visit that i thought would finish around 15 to 30 minutes were extend nearly 1 hour and a half because of those long and lost in translation discussion between them (Johny and Goh also visit the place with other more boss from other place). Gosh. How actually i'm gonna score for my grade in Industrial Training if goes on like this.

62nd Day

Today, it's my first task together with Cornelius. Cornelius were asked to tag or in other words stick the sticker as a record for next year PM in DBKK. It's actually not a work that needs any specialty as we only need to match the number on the sticker with the serial number of the device. That's all we need to do. And that work continue until at the end of the day and i think we will still go there tomorrow. We just have to wait and see.

61st Day

What actually i've done today? Nothing in the morning as both me and Larry waiting for Kevin as we thought we will go out to start the task where we will have to take shop lot picture. Than we were told by Kevin it's still not sure yet. Than that evening. Both me and Larry were bring by Edward to Desa Lok Kawi (with Kristy and Kenny as Edward also bring them after fetch them from DBKK) to troubleshoot some network printer problem. But sadly, that problem are not settle yet as we only managed to connect one client pc to the server printer after we changed the domain to workgroup in the server printer. That's how my day were spent.

26/09 - 02/10

Well, well. It's been ages since i last post on my blog. I seems to be a bit lazy and got tendency to become more lazier. ^o^ Let's cut the story short and back to the report.

26/09

Hmm. It's been a week plus for this one. What actually i've done that day? I remember that morning i follow Benny to send invoice to the customer site while Kristy and Jack follow Kenny to DBKK half day. Then, at the evening again i follow Benny but this time both Jack and Kristy also follow us. I think that's all activity i've done that day.


28/09 to 29/09

Ok. I confuse and forgot about this two days. I remember i went to JPSM with Jack, Cosmas and Edward to do some PM either monday or tuesday. Then, the next day or the first day either monday or tuesday i follow Edward and Benny with Larry and Jack to send invoice. And a funny incident happen at that moment, the van that we used (supposedly me and Jack follow Benny using Mr.Hiew brother's car but the car parking hydraulics is having a problem, so we follow Edward and seems we are sharing the van)
are unable to start and we are forced to push the van manually to start the engine. Hahahaha. That is a very bad day for us.

30/09 to 01/10

Starting that day, both me and Larry are involved in a new project supervise by Christina (the programming department boss) and Kevin. Well, not many things could i say since it's not exactly an IT works related. It more to the geographical site works as we have to take photos of the shop lot in KK and map it to the server. Haven't start the photo taking part but the part where we have to rename the photo using the standard naming they designed as it helps the system to read the details of each of the photo is quite boring. Not quite actually, it is boring. We have to see hundreds of shop lot picture and have trace the details of the picture by referring to the excel file where all the shop lot data were put. Basically, that's how my two days out of my five days works were spent that week.

02/10

One of the worst and tired working days during my practical. The works is simple. Transfer 43 pc's from megalab to the Canselory Hall in UMS. Sounds easy than it looks. The part where we have to take the whole 43 pc's is actually the hardest part. The worst part of all, we have to do that while there are plenty of students in the lab at that time. Gosh, i'm so angry and unsatisfied. It really felts that we (myself, Larry, Cosmas and Christ) were used. =,="
Luckily i'm involved in a new project though i'm not very sure also about it. We just have to wait and see.

52nd & 53rd Day

Now, again this was suppose for yesterday's post but i gone out around 9 pm to watch movie and i went back home a bit late. But G-Force really rocks man. A guiney pig carry a rifle and can drive? How is that not suppose to be interesting to watch, ain't it? Back to the main point because my eyes are getting heavier and i need to sleep more early that yesterday to cover the sleep time. What i have done yesterday? Went out with Jack follow Edward to do some PM and send invoice to the customer site. A bit bored but it still fun rather than staying in the office. We went out again in the evening with the same team to KYC (Kinabalu Yacht Club) at Tanjung Aru to check the manager's pc problem and also help to fixed the F-Secure configuration on one the staff's pc. We thought we will only take a short time in there but again we were wrong. Then later that evening, as usual. We stop by at Tanjung Aru shop to buy some fruit (sedap oo tu manga campur belacan, lada, kicap, amoi. pedas2 manis. tmbh lagi tu minuman tebu cmpr limau brpn tu tebu x rasa uda. hahaha). Damn, it's like a ritual for us whenever we follow Edward went out to eat or drink something at that end of the day. That's how our days end.

Today (24th Sept)

What a bad luck i have today. I just felt want to punch someone straight to the face right now. It starts when the three of us (we went out follow Kenny to Jabatan Laut to fixed the network problem there. It seems that the internet are unreachable. A TM technician came there and confirm it's not because of the lease line. So, we try to troubleshoot the router that are connected to the lease line. It seems that the serial cable connect the router and the lease line is having a problem. The serial is up but the protocol is down. We try some basic troubleshoot but it still doesn't solve the problem. Even Eric have to go there by himself to check it. Lastly, we found out that the network card in the router are the source of the problem as the serial connection are working fine after we change to a new router that we bring from office) when eat at Sepanggar for our late lunch (it's past 2 pm when we start having our lunch). Well, actually it start in the morning when we rest to take some air cond in the airport (Kenny forgot to bring the stering lock and we have to wait for a while for Edward to bring it for us). Both me and Jack plan to eat McDonald's porridge but it's finish. Then, the bad luck continues on the evening in Sepanggar. That damn shop is really one of the worst eating place i have ever been. Not only the food i order came very late (imagine there are five of us, even after the four of them finish eating they food including the slow eater Kenny. The food i order haven't come yet), to make thing more worst. The Ikan Masin fried rice i order is full with the ikan masin bones. Haiz. The bad karma continues on home. The power supply for my pc is broke (ntah hangus ka pa). *Sigh* I got nothing else to say. It looks like another money have to spent to buy a new Power Supply. Gosh, i hate today so much..

P/S : Ooops, i forgot someone again. Kristy stay in the office the whole day. Not sure what she have done but i loss a war to her without my notice.

51st Day

Well, well, well. I'm not actually writing this post on this date. I wrote it on (24th September 09, 12.15 am) which is 9 days later. A bit lazy after a week holiday but who could blame me, it's been ages since i wake up late and sleep late every single day for 7 days. Hahaha. So, what actually i have done that day? Spent the whole day in RRR (Rasa Ria Resort) with Jack, Larry and Edward fixing the network point on one of the guest room which reported not giving any connection. But seriously, it's one of the consuming energy day in any of my day out during this practical especially the part where both me and Edward try to trace back the network point to it's switch. Not only the IT manager itself told us the wrong place, we ended up searching on each floor on the 5th block (dunno why all 5 star resort love to separated and named the building like wings or whatsoever) where actually it's on the ground floor on the sixth block. Man, that part really is sucks. Then we try to patch back the cable on the patch panel but the problem still the same. We do it almost few times and using Walkie-talkie to talk (we separated to two groups which on the slave side which was Jack and Larry and the master side which was me and Edward. We test the connection using a network tools which i forgot the name but it's really a cool device). Then, finally Edward decided to change the brown and the orange cable position and change the modular on the face plate. Wala. It's done. What a relieving time is it for us. Take note that we didn't eat that day until 4 pm in the evening as it really take us some time to figure out to solve it. And as usual, since all of us are damn hungry though it looks me and Jack are the one because we buy a lot of food in the Bazaar at Sepangar that evening. Hehehe. So, that's how that day was spent.

P/S : Ooops, looks like i forgot about someone. I'm not very sure what Kristy do that day since i don't even remember whether she went out or not. ^o^

50th Day

Damn. My whole body especially my right hand and butt are not feeling very good because of the yesterday activity. Gosh, i really need some exercise sometimes. Well, back to the main point. What happen today? Not much i would say. Morning session is just another facebooing, chatting and downloading for both me and Jack (again Kristy follow Kenny to DBKK). Then, in the evening. Edward finally decided to bring both me and Jack follow him. Though not much works to do but at least it can heal our office boredness. But one thing I like when we follow Edward, we always went to Bazaar to buy food. Yeah, fasting session is almost finish and Hari Raya is finally coming. It's all happiness but sadly for me, it's no more Bazaar in the evening. I really gonna miss that. T.T Yeah, tomorrow is the last day works for this weeks before we will take a one week holiday. At last, i can rest as much as i can and watch as much anime and movie as possible. ^o^

It's all about bowling.

The caption for this post implies of what have i done today. I spent quite an amount of money just for play bowling today. 6 games straight for exact. Four games with Jack and another two games with my friends. But gosh, i really pay the price for that entertainment which make my finger a bit in pain. I play bowling with Jack in the morning and it's really fun as our games increases from one which is the original plan to four after we been addicted to it. The winner? I lost all four games to Jack. Damn he's good. Then, after having our lunch together. We split and i meet with my friends to watch movie, "Gamer". Then, before i went home. I bring my friends to play bowling again with me. Hahahaha. The weird thing is my score is much more better the last two games i play compare to the first four games with Jack which is 142 (My personal best) and 104. Yeah. Play bowling is so much fun and it's a great way to spend your weekends. ^o^

49th Day

Well, as i expected yesterday. We do went to Desa Lok Kawi again with the same team as the other day except Kristy (seems stay in the ofice for the whole day and i don't have any idea of what she doing. my guess maybe study the ebooks she download) is been replaced by Cosmas. Not exactly a bored day as compare staying in the office but maybe a bit tired and sleepy because not much things we do other than install Sophos anti virus on each computer and perform a full system scanning. But gosh, i really hate Windows 98 performance because it's so slow and need reboot for any changes made in the system. Luckily we manage to finish all the jobs though it takes us until evening to done it. That's all for today's activity. Adios.

P/S: Happy Sabbath and have a blessed night to all my SDA's friend.

48th Day

Another bored day in Srikom. Though we (Kristy doesn't join both me and Jack as she went somewhere with someone which i don't know) went outside for a while in the morning to LJS to fixed the network printer but we stay in the office from noon until we went home. Gosh, that evening is really bored and there's nothing else we can do other than playing Facebook. Supposedly we have to go to Desa Lok Kawi to continue our works but since Kok are not around and there is not enough time to finish the job there since it's late in the noon when we were asked to go, the plan is cancel. Maybe we will back there tomorrow but who knows what will happen. We just have to wait and see.

47th Day

Today the three of us went out together for the first time after quite a long time where either only both me and Jack or Kristy herself follow the staff. Today we follow Edward and Kok to Desa Lok Kawi to settle some network problem or so what they say reported by them. It seems that they having a problem with the system and it takes a long time than usual to access record. So, we try to change the switch and restart the server itself but still the same problem persists. After a thorough check, it turns out the server is infected by a virus and that's maybe the possible reason of why the system is slower to access. But the works is not done yet in there and there's possibility that we will back there tomorrow. But we will see. That's all for today's activity. Adios.
