java & tuxedo @@

Was facing issue where my java program failed to load the so library from Tuxedo8.

Spent quite much time. Finally solved it today. I am so happy!!! The feeling is the same every time my article got published on newspaper!

I got to decompile the tuxedo.jar, which comes with tuxedo installer. From there i put in as many system out as possible for troubleshooting. The program actually stopped at the part where System.loadLibrary is being called. It failed to load a particular so file even tough physically the file is there.

I started to check if the bit version of java matches the one of so file. My machine is AIX6.1 and i got to know that AIX6.1 only supports 64bit kernel. Hence i decided to run my program using 64bit version5 java.

After running the program using 64bit java, i saw more meaningful error messages this time as compared to the previous non-informative messages. From there i got to know the SO file failed to load its dependencies.

So i started to look for the dependencies, and put them under the same directory where the major SO file is located.

Of course i also set the path of where my SO file is to the variable LIBPATH and also to the -Djava.library.path

That's it :) Of course before writing this down i actually have gone through so many researches and trial and errors. Gosh. Imagine how happy am i now! :)

Oh ya, i dropped the System.loadLibrary, instead i hard coded the path using System.load :)

Some helpful commands along the way of my troubleshooting process

1) java -d64 -version
2) nm -X64

当我感觉生病时。。。

一天，晚餐后回房休息。

那天的空调特别的冷，奇怪，平常都是调在这个温度的。

正经事要紧，赶快开了电脑处理一些事项。做着做着，突然间鼻子痒痒的，猛地打了个大大的喷嚏！糟，流鼻水了，而此时也感到喉头干干痒痒。。。

这不就是生病前症状吗？之前每次感冒或伤风前就是这样的。

之前生病时，我都是靠维生素ｃ来加强免疫力抗病菌的，一天要服用好几千ｍｇ的方能其感到效果，即生病症状停了，病情慢慢好转了。

当天刚好没了维生素ｃ，想起不久前买了“转移因子”(Transfer Factor)。听过解说，服用此营养品可以让免疫力增强４３７％。我想都不想，赶快拿出两粒吞下去。

刷牙洗脸后，赶快躲进温暖的被子里休息了。

第二天，可以说是若无其事了。就像平常服用多粒维生素ｃ般，症状没了。庆幸自己能于病情恶化前，用转移因子加强身体抵抗力杀尽各病毒细菌等。

大胜！

灵异事件分享

以下所言，皆是事实。信与否，都无所谓，吾只望读者能日后借鉴。

一）民间所传，夜间听闻铁链声，乃刚往生亲人于七七四十九天未到时，回魂探望。我只能说，此事千真万确！

二）今人以环保为上，鼓励少烧或不烧冥纸，惟祖先亡魂往往需要冥纸以打通冥间路（若有烧或不烧之烦恼，建议于祖先牌位前掷铜钱或使用各占卜器物请示，连掷三次，若三次皆得同一成绩，就是答案了）。至于所烧给各菩萨神仙之冥纸，则能为菩萨做施舍于路过之亡魂所用（可能是为烧者累积善德）。

所谓冥纸，以传统金纸为准，而非如今之印有号码的冥府银行等之冥钱。

三）若梦到已往生亲人流泪不说话，乃已近寿终之象。此时可以再求延长多三年寿命。如何求？于家里平常上香时，对祖先（或天公或一众神仙？）说明为何要“迟走”等。

希望能帮到读者，尤其是第三点。

东甲炒虾面

我好爱这道东甲炒虾面啊！往往从马六甲会昔加末时，若正值晚餐时间，就会到此处大开杀戒。

档口就在东甲巴士站附近而已。这地方大概有整十多档。


这里全是露天小食档。炒虾面档就藏在其中。老板炒面的姿态一流，看他的炒法就能想象那炒面有多好吃了。


面炒好时湿湿的，香喷喷，用料有虾与猪肉片，配上特制辣椒，好吃！可惜照片暗了点。对不起哦！


吃完这盘面只需十五分钟而已。盘子光光的，你能想象其好吃程度吗？

新加坡印尼鸡饭

叫Ayam Penyet，档口就在樟宜乡村酒店(Changi Village Hotel)对面的饮食中心而已。

我们到时正是晚餐时间，却没人，真怀疑是弄错了。

哇，等了一阵子，鸡饭来了，温温的，一入口，赞哦！鸡烤得香而不干，鲜嫩多汁，夹起鸡肉沾上那特制辣椒酱，十足印尼风味。肉吃腻了还能吃盘中的生菜番茄等。




饭香，汤则类似味精汤。

很满足的一餐！

基督教丧礼

今日随友人往其表兄丧礼。

其表兄生得聪慧，中小学时期学业成绩特优，后领奖学金前往新国深造，后更被其大学送往国外作交流，为时一年余。惜期间遭受种族歧视，精神备受虐待，竟至得精神忧郁症，唯有停学归乡修养。在家乡征得公务员，工作轻松，家常便饭，生活平淡，实也不错。唯月前竟突然昏倒，医生诊断为肝癌末期，魂归天国，迟早而已。间中竟回光返照，清醒数日，能食稀饭，亦能说话。突而又不省人事，直至前日终于断气，英年早逝，无可奈何。

丧处布置简单，棚未如其他人般搭至屋外，亦没待客以正食，简单整齐。我到之时，有天主教团体为死者灵魂以英语诵唱经文，有如佛教净宗般。无乐器伴奏，纯人声而已。

诵经团散后，我随友人入屋，死者遗体在棺材内，如一般华人般摆在厅中，身后有十字架刻有耶稣像，旁有一支白烛。

随后往前院坐，喝水吃花生。

人生无常，希望死者魂已归天国，安息。

Making the world work better

It was IBM's 100 year old birthday. As an IBM staff i was given a book "Making the world work better".

"Making the world work better", this has inspired me. This is such a great idea. I am so touched by it.

This is what human need, isn't it?

The world is in the mess, we really need people to have a common goal, which is to make this world work better! After all we, human, are far too fragile in the universe.

Honestly speaking, i never have the sense of belonging to IBM since day 1 i joined. My perspective is i work in many projects, close them to make sure clients pay IBM and that's it. Never have i had a single thought that my work actually contributes to the human civilization in a direct manner, just like scientists do.

In fact, some of the projects were actually initiated from some awesome ideas! It will be cool if the consumers are able to enjoy the final result from these projects. The thing is, clients always make sure gaining profit is the priority, and that's the perspective they will look at all the time.

Resource constraint should not be the barrier that stops us to make the world work better. After all, it is such a great honor being part of the members to help the civilization grow.

父后数日

父亡当日，有昔加末净宗学会诸善心居士前来助念，愿父亲得以听闻佛法，动念，然后往生净土。

犹记得首日当晚，团体带头人阿丽师兄，立黑板于家门前。向家属们解释基础佛法，如人死后往哪去？如丧礼期间家属应该做什么或不应该做什么等等。种种一切听来，简直是初级佛法入门课程，吾前所未闻也。吾由此踏入佛法正解，感恩万分。

诸善士帮忙助念，甚至帮忙打点一切如该准备多少样斋菜等等。他们帮忙了足足有七七四十九天。该团体成员多为中老年人，这般坚持热诚，着实不易，吾深感亏欠他们太多。希望有朝一日吾能及时报答诸位菩萨的恩惠。

不知到了第几日，小妹突说梦见父亲带着她在一座奇幻的游乐园内玩耍，园内有过山车之类的。玩着玩着父亲突然没入一片叶中，就此消失。这事奇极，之前未曾听说小妹日常多梦，况且梦见父亲那时正值非常时刻，吾一厢情愿，希望此梦表示父亲已去了一个快乐之处。

又不知到了第几日，父亲生前一位太极拳女学生来访。犹记得丧礼期间她哭成泪人。她说她也梦见父亲，但与小妹之梦却南辕北辙。梦中父亲脸色苍白，对她说感觉很辛苦。唉，希望这位阿姨是思念父亲过度而有此梦。

在那七七四十九天，凡是肉食吾皆不动，结果一日吾在公司久坐起身，竟一阵昏厥。不仅如此，当时工作时竟眼皮沉重，昏昏欲睡。吾去看医生，血压竟低，真没想到也。看来吃斋吃素也要吃的对。

父死已数年，吾没梦见一次半分（其实也忘了）。希望父亲真是断了尘缘，于另一个空间，以另一种生命形式，快乐的活着。

昔加末两天一夜美食与华教行

上星期友人随吾回乡，来个昔加末美食之旅。

到家已近半夜。就带友人去试试白桥沙爹。记得堂兄姐回乡时都喜欢来这边吃。我与友人吃少少，没拍到照片，呵呵。

次日（星期六）一早吃和平经济面，配上香脆的春卷与鸡翅膀，友人说春卷似乎是批发的，因其在新国曾尝过此道春卷，味道相似。

之后前往南洋旧店喝咖啡吃面包，当天顾客出奇的少，空座多得很。

星期六这天热得昏昏沉沉，"告别"南洋后与友人回家躲在冷气房也。

午餐时间就去张益记咯！友人也赞同面香得很。吃完后再次回家躲热气。

傍晚前往拉美士，想要看看温泉，竟迷路了！天色渐暗故放弃寻泉，改找“果条仔”也。

到了目的地，果条仔所处之旧店竟消失了，成为扩充道路的牺牲品。

所幸小镇叔叔阿姨亲切热心，一番询问之下终找到果条仔新店所在！

果条仔美味如昔！许多道精致小菜可口诱人，吾与友人不吃猪杂也不愁，皆因选择多也。其春卷值得一试，真正自制也。友人也赞不绝口！


阿弟果条仔菜单


美味的果条仔与众小菜


注意那春卷，香脆可口哦！

就这样完成了第一天的旅程。

星期天一早，前往登雅新村吃华人抛饼（印度面包也）。我们叫了空、蛋、与沙丁。人多故抛饼上桌必慢，是以我俩先吃着经济面打打底不至于等得肚子闹别扭。等了半小时抛饼终于来了！那蛋饼内有乾坤，藏着青辣椒，加上洋葱，愈发增添那饼原有的香味，友人大赞也！他说别处无从得见此做法也。友人也注意到老板做沙丁时竟加入酱油和豆芽，我不以为意当作是噱头，吃时才觉老板这做法让我们吃沙丁饼时口感不单调，咸中带甜再带点青翠感，一句话，赞！

老板汲汲营营做抛饼，父子轮流上阵


秘诀－青辣椒与洋葱，还有豆芽，呵呵。

这天天气一样的热！身在家中浑身不自在，热气弥漫流窜四周，故又再躲在冷气房内睡个饱。

午餐，去“金蛋糕”餐厅解决，草草了事。

傍晚，准备收拾一番，回吉隆坡去了！路途中顺道停留在“沈慕羽纪念馆”（主人住家叫红楼四馆，名称非常雅致！）参观参观以示支持。去之前致电通知主人。到那处时只见陆庭谕老先生在馆外等候，真不好意思啊！

这次陆老再次充当解说员，我友人受陆老青睐得以或老先生解说指教，更于友人面前唱起歌，当真友人之福也！吾与陆老并无如此投缘也。呵呵。这次也与馆主谈了更多，馆主说某些佛教团体远从马六甲而来，在这小小地方竟也能安排出忙足一日的活动！真让吾敬佩也。馆主也说希望旅行社多多此馆，在穿插参观此馆于北上的旅程中，即使那短短二十分钟亦已够矣！可惜暂时无旅行社响应此计划。至于未来的大计划，馆主说希望得以成立教育基金，以利后代。如今馆主夫妇与陆老每个星期数天都会在纪念馆庭院处与村人齐练长生功，借此推广纪念馆。


沈慕羽纪念馆

之后前往红楼四馆小坐一会，得陆老为我我俩斟水，惭愧也。为避免太麻烦陆老，我们速速走人，呵呵。


陆老开着红楼四馆的门，手力仍猛，老当益壮！

吾再次留下了感言，也留下了一点捐款，呵呵。

就这样结束了旅程，希望友人满意吧！还没问他呢，呵呵。

这位德士佬有点意思

那天在茶馆与德士佬谈天，得益良多啊！

德士佬年纪六十多，骨瘦如材，轻度中风，行动不太良，惟思维仍旧清晰，不幸中之大幸也。

奇的是年纪大样貌却年轻得多。

德士佬年轻时仗着自己体质过人，长期不睡或却睡却照旧开车捱过去。有一天终于中风了，知道自己非铁打也，一天终究也会倒下去。

德士佬绝非墨守成规者，他也知道“创造价值”这回事。把德士生意当作自己的生意来看待。他起初也像其他司机般一辆德士开两班，赚到的钱只够糊口。时间一久他也觉得不是办法，继而思考如何才能摆脱这种收入困境。

终于，他秉持着以诚待客的心态，以“路不拾遗”、健谈、亲切等这种“附加服务”，最终建立了好口碑！

现在的他，专做夜总会小姐的生意，电话随时响。从傍晚开车至深夜，路程短而收入多，比起一辆车开两轮好赚多了！

这就是“创新”精神的价值！我们务必好好仿效之！

黄潔媚魅力无法挡

黄潔媚，长得美，又是法律系学生，更写得好文章，常刊登于独立新闻在线。

我知道很多网友想看看她的部落格、博客、网志。但不好意思，她已经为她的私人部落格设限，对大众关上了大门，成了私人俱乐部。

大家就不必再找了。

It's time to move on!

Well, finally i decided to quit from my current company. Last week i even signed the new deal to firm up my mind. Anyway the next job offers lesser income compared to the current one.

Yesterday i tendered my resignation letter to my People Manager. She was quite shocked and was trying to persuade me to stay. She was getting a high profile guy who is leading a new big project with a bank account to check with me if i am interested in joining that project. After a short chat with the guy I still requested for "Separation" from my current company.

Before getting home from office i told my Work Manager my decision to quit. I think at that moment he was about to go home too. Few minutes later another senior colleague, whom i believe was in the same car as my Work Manager, called me to persuade me to move to another department within the organization. Alright this drew my attention as the office as i know is very much near to my house. That's the thing, the next company is actually located near to my house, thus giving me a chance to go back on time for activities such as sports and so on!

So in conclusion, a relocation within the same organization is ok for me.

I have approached the department and i am looking forward to a good news from them.

I am glad and i am indeed touched as these colleagues are really willing to help me to stay in my current company. I really like them. I think IBM is really a place that appreciates human resource. Thanks guys! Thanks all of you!

Nanyang Kopitiam in Tangkak

東甲也開了南洋咖啡店！就在東甲巴士車站附近而已。
The famous Nanyang Kopitiam is now availabe in Tangkak! It is located near to the Tangkak bus station.

WMB It's best to set BLOB as the parser for message containing MQRFH2 header

I was struggling for this message with MQRFH2 Header.

I have tried MRM, the drawback is that you got to choose a schema, which makes it less flexible. Also the parsers being selected at runtime (printed in the mqsitrace log) are not consistent! Still puzzling.

Setting parser as BLOB in the MQInput node solves my issue. Without making any further message format conversion, you can read the xml using XMLNSC parser anytime anywhere.

平淡的十五暝

身在吉隆坡，远离家乡，日间要在职场拼杀，这个十五瞑，正式名称元宵节，就平平淡淡过了，农历新年也就这样静静的谢幕。

本想前往天后宫，与众人挤着一堆看表演。但看看自己一身长袖衬衫西装裤，就能联想到自己在天后宫现场大汗淋漓的样子，而隔日还得上班打战，想想还是回家休息算了。

与友人吃完一顿不算特别的晚餐后，步行回公寓。公寓楼下，大风起兮，凉风来得正好，把过去数日的闷热一扫而空，我们就这样站在楼下“享受”那阵狂吹不止的大风，这“宝贝”得之不易，好好珍惜啊！

闲聊间，抬头看看夜空，圆月就在眼前。我在想，究竟在何时，月亮有外星人或生命的真相才能公诸于众呢？一大片一大片的云随风漂浮在头上，圆月不消数秒就躲在云后了，真没瘾。

月

逐渐遭云包围

云吃掉了月

时间到，回家、回房、在梦乡里完成自己的梦。

兔年拜天公！

虽然无法在家里度过除夕和年初一，但庆幸还能过上大年初九天公诞！

觉得是时候拍下照片了，毕竟日后也会搬离这水灾区，以免噩梦重来！







大




天公诞仿佛才是闽南人的过年！此时临近的友族同胞早已身在梦乡，惟鞭炮声烟花声电视音响四起大轰炸，来个四面楚歌，偏要你醒过来才罢休，可怜他们啊！唯有盼望来年正月初九是假期咯！


我们也不落人后放了没有噪音的孔明灯，另称天灯。

苦中作乐迎兔年

已是除夕夜，惜一场水灾，断了回家路，无法在家中度过此夜！唯有苦中作乐，在外婆家庆祝农历年。

子时，新村内大放烟花！耀眼眩目绚丽！炮声不绝。左邻右舍无不参与其中。前方大烟花才身震四方夺人目光，后边又来了吱吱做响的蜜蜂炮，而炮中之王-红炮自是不缺席。各家炮声轮流霹雳作响，此消彼长，仿似乐园。隔天各家门外红纸肖满地，新年气氛恰是浓厚！











仰望天空，映入眼帘皆是孔明灯，好多好多，正徐徐上升！

新村过年确是热闹些。许多青年穿美美巡街，小小新村路上车子和摩托车络绎不绝，犹如身在大城市也！


亲人在这时也把逐一接财神祭品摆上临时搭起的神桌，准备烧香祭拜了！全家大小都来上香祈求来年平安健康！

神庙是首个拜年地点，不知基督徒有在凌晨时刻上教堂吗？很好奇

我们去了临近的神庙。这里香火过盛，浓烟熏得我眼泪不止！好不容易才上完香烧完纸。这是一个仪式而已，其他宗教信仰者无需太认真。神庙里，美眉都穿得靓丽，旨在让群男眼前一亮，心情美美过好年，呵呵。
