父亲，就这样走了

就这样。。。走了。

留下的，只是子女们未克献尽孝心的痛苦。

每个星期六，当我还在回家的路途中，父亲往往是第一个致电过来的。

每一次，我都觉得不耐烦，觉得自己会没事安全到家的。可是，我忘了父亲他其实是在关心着我的，这是他给我的无形的爱。

我与父亲向来缺乏沟通，最近几年稍有起色唯亦不足。多的是他的万般叮咛，“早睡、早起”。

他离去之前，我都没好好的遵循他的话。

如今，人都没了，我心悲痛。尤其是替父亲尸身梳洗的那一刻，接触的是冰冷的肌肤！梳洗当儿血还从口流出！他全身发黄，双手五指往内紧收！父亲，我知你不愿就此离去，孩儿实在心如刀割，因无法扭转眼前的残酷事实！孩儿只能可望上天恩赐奇迹啊！而奇迹，又往往是非常的遥远！

前一晚，我在匆忙的归途中，心里还以为只是小事一桩，送院后经过调理该无大碍，怎知竟是与父亲永别之时！

家里血迹斑斑，那味道闻之欲呕！我保持镇静与母亲尽快的处理血迹。不久医院电话急响，心里不祥之感涌现，急忙压下不作他想。电话中，护士催促我们尽快回到医院，医生有重大事情欲与我们讨论。此时已是凌晨一时多，重阳日已过，接下来的卦乃全阴之卦！我父乃注定丧命于今日？

“没办法了，没办法了”，这样的答案从医生口中出来，真让人绝望！我拼命的联络各地医院，无奈各方借故推搪。好不容易有一位医生肯收我父亲，天大喜讯啊！可是，天，您为何不给父亲多几个小时？？？为何偏在此时夺走了他的性命？？？

看着血不停的从父亲鼻中喷出，我感到绝望、无助、茫然。。。

医生拉上了布与护士作最后的抢救，我与母亲之能期待阿弥陀佛之力搭救父亲。我闭上了眼睛，念着阿弥陀佛，千丝万缕涌上心头。。。

临时抱佛脚。。。

在那一个全阴卦的星期六的凌晨三时许，母亲抱着父亲的尸身痛哭。。。而我亦在父亲耳边作最后的呼唤。

他，不会醒来了。父子缘尽今世。

新环境，新体验，新心情

道，是怎么样的？

新环境，带来了一些的不确定的元素。

虽然，个个都是熟悉的面孔，然而毕竟前车可鉴，吾杯弓蛇影，最惧不知此蛇乃蛇乎?!

项目，不可能的任务，然而为了明年的打算，苦咬牙关，即使举步维艰仍得踏刃而走。

家里，需费时适应，培养新习惯，还不知可行否。

明年将至，吾仍在混沌矣！创业？国际公司？硕士？资讯工艺？财经？

我仍在努力弄清一切，战战兢兢的拨开一切云雾，寻找埋没在黑暗中地平坦道路。

Hibernate Notes

Here's some Hibernate notes for beginners out there. I've been facing lots of troubles dealing with Hibernate. I hope my notes would be short and clear enough so that you guys could save some time instead of looking for answers in the thick book!

1) Don't get confused with Flush Session & Commit Transaction
I used to have a wrong concept that flush session usually means data is already sync from Hibernate Session to the Database and everything cannot be roll back anymore! This is obviously wrong! Both are irrelevant with each other in fact! Even tough flush session would sync everything from Hibernate Session to the Database, however if the unit of work is within a transaction scope, the developer should trigger a commit so that everything can be committed!

2) Session Save will assign an identifier value to the corresponding saved object
Calling hibernate session save() will not only persist your pojo, but will also assign an identifier to that pojo according to the Hibernate Mapping. The identifier assignment will not be that late until database-session sync process happen.

畱

当外间发生了这么多的奸杀案时，我还在这儿犹豫不决，斟酌着我的前途。

与老板谈了几次，最后还是接受了他的挽留，给我自己及他们一个机会。但是，我坦白的对他说，我想越早离开目前的环境越好。他答应我在九月头我就能在马六甲的分公司上班了。好啊，不用再应付同样的一位顾客了，不知何时才能再回到古来、新山和新加坡，也许会是遥遥无期啊！我是否在以后会想念这里的环境、食物、人群、生活方式、及等等呢？

在做了决定之后，有好多的人需要我去好好交代、有好多地东西需要我去好好处理。感动的是，好些条件比我好的公司都叫我以后辞职时第一时间考虑他们！天啊，现在真需要这么多JAVA人才吗？我以前可认为是不可思议的事情呢！最难堪的是当我尝试向那位工作代理交待时，她的语气是多么的无奈与气愤，我可拖了她两个月之久了，想当然她是对我非常的失望了。我是意识到我错了，所以持续的向她道歉，我也知道于事无补了，所以询问她是否要接我公司的单子，结果可想而知，她当然是拒绝了。

我期待到了新环境后，能好好地妥当安排我生活中的每一件事，不像现在这样因时常超时工作而失去了学习许多别种事物的时间与机会。个人的兴趣广泛，求知欲也强，所以要我像另一位得宠同事把工作当作生活的全部般是非常地困难的。我相信当我在各方面都有了一定的程度之后，必能为公司作出更有素质的贡献，而不是像头牛般埋头苦干，在某个领域默默耕耘，而无法或多或少的影响及参与公司未来走向的决策。

做决定的那一晚，与老板漫谈了数个钟头。感谢他赐予我无数极为宝贵的意见，好让我加以检讨，找出弱点的根源，好对症下药。 我知光阴局促，欲改善弱点非一日之事，故望能循序渐进，随时间的洪流冲击那无常的未来。

What makes a software project fail?

Came across an article discussing the factors of why software project fails:

Take a look!

I agree with the 3 pillars, which are:

1. Version control
2. Work item tracking
3. Build system

When i review these points on my current project, which implemented a great build procedure, good version controlling, good bug tracking system, and compare to previous projects which did not implement one of the 3 important items, the time saved is really significant!

First of all, a better tool for version controlling was introduced: SVN, then he started to come out with all kinds of ant build script to basically compile the source codes, moving files, deleting files, ftp files and etc. We even have a build script to refresh the whole database schema by deleting tables, drop users, creating new tables, running data scripts and etc. Lastly, we integrated these two important features into our LDAP system. We applied LuntBuild as a better framework to control the build, we applied Trac which provides a lot of features to govern or track bugs.

With the help of all these tools, we managed to save really lots of time on the deployment! The deployment can be easy & clean! Everything is handled at one end, no other parties could interfere the integrity!

Of course, there are weaknesses too, we did not manage to deploy part of the system. For every deployment we are about to do, we got to build the whole project & deploy to the server directory & in the end run some unix scripts which basically unjar the war file & restarts the web application.

Choice!

I did not expect the interview with "sexxxx-tx" is successful! I thought it has gone dead as it's been 3 weeks already that i did not hear from the agent that introduced me this job. Today she called me and said there is a good news! First thought came into my mind was: the interview went through! Hahaha, 75% of success rate, i am glad, that means at least i did not waste my time in my first company! I have to thank my boss(who is also my master) for giving me so much chances to grow. Sometimes i just hate myself why can't i be as aggressive as another colleague! He has been advancing so fast, so aggressively and he's about to become another shareholder of my company already! Well, i cannot blame any party even myself, because, there are a lot of factors! Time, Human, Family, Money, Project.... These are what i call fate. However, i believe life is a long battle. You fall behind from someone now does not mean you have no chance to overtake him next time! What i have is time! As long as i won't die so soon.

I am now cracking my head, just to decide which option to choose. The option suggested by boss? Work together with friend? Parked under him by taking an equivalent salary as him? Or to join a company offering flexible time line but lower benefits? What i can tell here is, once i move up, i can no longer achieve the great savings as i am enjoying currently here in Kulai. Kulai is too small. You have nothing to do here, you have no life here, you have no networking activities here. Those things are what i have been longing for! Yet, it is a peaceful town, no traffic jam, less crowded, you do not need to join a long queue just for movie ticket or nice food.

I need to make a decision in the next 24 hours already! Wish me good luck!

生而弗有，为而弗恃，功成而不居

好忙！辞职了还是要像以往般昏天暗地。还好，主要的项目还是顺利的完成了!

终于辞职了！三年，不舍还得舍，感谢身兼师傅的老板，希望再次见面时我已与您平起平坐，不负您所教，为您争光，呵呵！

亦听了很多人的宝贵意见！感谢他们！

希望以后有时间能好好地经营我的网志，改善参差不齐的弱点。

希望有时间在下班后学我欲所学！

柬蒲赛游记-第五天

今天是我在今次柬蒲赛之旅睡得最迟的一天，当地时间早上大约九点多就起床了。在准备就绪后，提起背包与相机就往市区去，打算闲诳一番。其实有点担心在拥挤热闹、熙来攘往的市区会不会遇到什么匪徒，毕竟我是单独行走的。很幸运的，我的担心与谨慎只持续了一阵子而已，那种心情被我的另外一种美好心情所覆盖了，因为我实在是太享受这种想往哪儿去就往哪儿去的生活了。我感到过去的我就像一只笼中鸟，一直活在别人的眼界下，太过在意别人对我的看法了。我们不是应该掌握自己的生活吗，我们不是应该决定自己的下一步是怎么走的吗？别人对你怎么看是如此的重要吗？我为何如此害怕转换过程中会所受的屈辱？没有低过头生活，会有成功的一天吗？我要好好得想想看，考虑接下来的路该怎么走。

就在我想着这些事的当儿，思绪突然间被打断了，眼见正前方有一个小挡口，正卖着当地的烤香蕉。在大马，香蕉通常是沾了面粉在油窝里炸的，而在这儿的竟然是用全烤的。档主长了一副诚恳地样子，让人看了感觉舒服。我想问他价钱，然而他并不会说英语。好在隔壁有个好心的“aunty”也尝试充当协调员，在她的帮助下，我才顺利的买到香蕉。三条共5000里尔。在诳市集的当儿吃了。食物方面，本人并不觉得很喜欢，总嫌过于干燥，不如我们的炸香蕉糕来得入味，但是总算满足了我的好奇心。


一串串的烤香蕉，让我大开眼界，真“排写”（闽南语，不好意思的意思）。

我断断续续的边走边拍照，同时体验着人来人往的那股生气。整体感觉杂、乱、但安全。好些档主拼命想留下我好让我买他们的东西，但我让他们失望了。只因我接下来的计划还需要用到金钱啊！而当时我也只剩些许的金钱而已。无论如何，整个早上我没什么收获，就只是大开了眼界而已，这种感觉，我想，是读了书也无法体验的。这种东西，叫做感觉。它不是虚拟的，而是真实的！

在市集内看到了这种食物，用了好多的糖来腌，很特别，蛮受当地人的欢迎的。

呵呵，咖喱角。对我们大马人而言，是在也熟悉不过了的。

他们不知拿了什么昆虫来炸，类似蚱蜢之类的，色香味之中，色已大打了折扣！

到了中午时刻，我去了一间著名的餐厅，叫做“死鱼”（DEADFISH）。餐厅的布置有点奇特，不过是属于西式的，由于是午间，所以只有两名顾客。我点了一杯苹果汁和阿莫克（AMOK）。嗯，很不错，当时煮法似乎与在“高棉厨房”（KHMER KITCHEN）的有点不同，这个会比较辣一点。吃着当儿，突然间下起了雨来，我默默的享受着悦耳的爵士乐与雨点滴滴答答所融合成的另类交响曲。我的心，很沉静，这似乎是我找了很久的一种境界，懒懒散散地，真想要让当时的时间静止不动。慢慢的，待雨势小了些后，我便心满意足的离开了，好一个精神上的升华。由于看来待会可能会再下一场雨，所以我加快步伐就赶回去客栈，进入午间的梦乡。

“死鱼”餐厅内的阿莫克（AMOK）。


醒来后已是傍晚时分，我再次前往坐落在市区的市集走去，这次我对自己说无论如何都要买到纪念品了。我环绕了好多的挡口，停留在一间据说才经营不久的商店。招待我的女孩长的楚楚可怜、说话低声细语，非常的吸引人，可能这就是我向她买东西的原因吧！我相中了好些东西，向那女孩要求些折扣，她也非常爽快的答应了我开出的价钱。可能我开得不是很好吧！不知她有没有暗自偷笑，好一个财神爷！我向来不善于讨价还价，这也是造成我事业有阻碍的原因，我是应该狠下心肠，用工进修此道吗？还是坚持自我呢？有阴必有阳，我得放弃一些东西啊！我考虑清楚了吗？
市区上也有好多的按摩院，院外有好多的女孩等着顾客或者派传单。他们都身穿不同的制服，非常的整齐好看。而且，他们都是正统的按摩院，并不附有性服务的。我选了其中一家，作了全身油性按摩，让前几天被累坏了的身躯放松一下，享受穴道上的刺激。

一小时后，我在附近的西式咖啡厅喝咖啡，咖啡厅就坐落在十字街头，我得到了非常好地观望角度。我一个人静静的喝着咖啡，眼望四方，耳听八方。街头的人群熙来攘往，好多的游客来来去去，与我四目交流，似乎在彼此祝福对方，有个愉快的、充实的旅程。有个当地的城市保安在那儿驻守着，我看他一直坐立不安，来回地走，看来这不是简单的工作，它这是需要耐心的。还有好多的“嘟嘟”司机在街角等候顾客，艰难的等待可能一天就只有那么一位地顾客。在资本主义膨胀，在价值观被歪曲下，生活，就是那么的困难。此时我想到第一天去洞里萨湖沿途中所看到的裸身小孩们，他们是玩得多么的开心啊！

晚间，司机带我吃了当地的“丰盛”一餐。原来是烤小鸟、牛肉、还有各种新鲜未经煮熟的蔬菜。其实我并不能吃牛肉，这我已告诉了司机，但我并没通知他我也不怎么吃野味。无论如何，我最后还是吃了。当地人有生产一些奇怪的酱料，味道有点奇怪，是用来沾牛肉和蔬菜的，我并不太能体会它的美味，所以没什么吃。烤鸟还不错，配上另一种特制的咸味酱料，不错！老板非常的热情，原来他是爱康的会员，上线也是大马人，我们说了好多的话，气氛非常愉快！至于司机呢，就一直和我分享他的性经验，包括和某些独身女游客上床。这些女游客还有日本人呢！看来他也没说骗话。
就这样，我对暹粒之旅的告别之夜。第二天我就要回到大马了！

柬蒲赛游记-第四天

今晨去了吴哥寺看日出，在当地时间五时正便出发了。这意味着我四点多就需起床了，平常要我这么早起来简直是要了我的命，但在今日感觉是不同的。可能是心理作用吧！因为当地时间比大马晚了一个钟头，所以我还能自我安慰的认为有睡到5点多才起床，更何况昨晚很早就入睡了。因此我仍然是很精神气爽的！超清醒！

我必须于五时正赶到那里。在摩托车上享受了一阵的晨风后，到那儿的时间是刚刚好。我下了摩托车，看着远处的吴哥寺，人简直软了，还有好一段路要走啊！我此刻的脚在经过多日的攀爬、跳跃、快走之后已经陷入酸痛的状况中啊！没办法，不能就这样浪费了我的旅程时间，硬着头皮干吧！在步往中心建筑物的一路上拍了好多照片，挨着挨着就到了宏伟的吴哥寺了。这座寺内有好多塔，我必须爬上最高的那层，也就是吴哥窟的中心点。那个梯阶超狭窄！请想象从前的人的手足大小竟是现代人的一倍之小！所以你在这里可以看到一个奇景： 好多人都手足并用，小心翼翼的爬上塔上去！我不想跟这么多人“挤”上塔顶，唯有先在一旁参观参观，绕着塔走走。

等着等着，人也比较少了。我此时才缓缓的爬上塔顶，欣赏着朝阳从云端内慢慢的

在那边休息了一会直到日正当空后，便回到司机那儿了。之后我乘了热气球，从上空拍了整个吴哥寺，让我倍觉兴奋。虽然热气球并不如我想象中的到处飘，只是直线上升，但也让我感到很美妙了。在等待乘气球的当儿和司机聊聊，拼命向他说道理，好让他有道德压力，他是感受到了，所以听听几下子便借题逃开，嘿嘿。

过后我去了“崩密列”参观。路程好遥远，加上骑在摩托车上，长时间让手臂曝晒在猛烈的阳光下，非常的不好受，当时真后悔为何没擦上防晒油，结果我的那双手臂都被烧伤了。Lonely Planet的书本说应到那儿一看，会有如电影印第安那钟斯博士的那种探险历程。果然没说错，去了那儿需要做多次的攀爬，在前两天用力过度的情况下，今日手脚酸疼，攀爬得好吃力，而路道又被设置成迷宫般，还好在工作人员的指导下，我才顺利的逃了出来。

想到之后又需要经长途到别处，又想到阳光之猛烈，就叫司机送我回去睡一个大觉。下午四点半才叫他带我观赏“巴共”的日落。回到客栈房间后我就到头大睡了。醒来后联络了另外一位会说华语的司机，才知道我的司机收贵了。我心里很不甘，心想接下来的日子必要有意无意暗示他一番，让他惭愧。

梳洗一番后便出门，在等司机的当儿便上网完成第三天的日志。倒霉的是，在司机来了后，竟下了一场大雨，不过不久后转小了。我看看云层还透着阳光，斟酌片刻便叫司机带我去了。一路有雨，被逼穿上雨衣，到了那儿还是有雨，不过不管了，披上雨衣，把背包横在胸前便往前走。不出意料之外，还是有好多小孩向我兜售东西，真让我难做，最后他们从我那儿得到了一元，而我也得到了两只花戒，还蛮漂亮的。

果然夕阳是看不着了，不过也拍了一些照，这时雨势已停了一阵子。待了片刻我便走了。回途中又参观了一座不什么出名的古建筑物。司机此时竟开口唱歌，我便向他了解些许他所唱的歌的来龙去脉。他说了好一堆的歌曲故事，而我才知道在电视频道的柬语歌曲卡拉OK都不受当地年轻人的欢迎，司机说他每次听了都想睡，又说当今的柬语流行歌曲都抄自国外，他反而喜欢老旧的本土创作。然后说了什么金曲唱碟都收藏在瑞士银行，听得我一头雾水，不管了，听着吧，之后再考证。

晚餐是参观古迹后直接去吃的。本来司机要带我去吃本土食物，但因我不吃牛肉，所以计划泡汤了。所以我便去吃自由餐，是带有传统表演的。女演员长得标致，很不错，看得入了神。食物方面并非十分的本土，相对的非常的普通。

回到客栈，司机竟要向我收曲所有的费用，我才不理他，算我贵还要这么早收钱，真过分。我只给了他百分之八十的金钱，叫他最后一天送我到机场了才还清全部的费用。问了他很多次的OK吗，他拼命点头，好象担心我吃了他一样。老兄，我现在付贵了呢，你还要怎样呢？他还拼命的问我要不要正统的按摩，老兄，已经给你敲诈了一笔，没钱了啦！打发他走后，便回去客房休息了。

柬蒲赛之游-第三天

今天是第三天了。今早我没在客栈处吃早餐，相反的，我让司机带我去吃本土的面汤，心中万分期待。一早就和来自大马的同乡相遇在旅社的餐厅外，分享了一些今次旅游的经验。凭着他们给予的资料，我和司机便谈着要怎样更好的编排今日的行程。司机在某些方面的不妥协让我有点不爽，但我要的是一个愉快的旅程，所以也不计较这么多，说来说去主要还是因为金钱的关系罢了。

一切搞清楚了之后，我们便启程了。路程比我想中的还要遥远。还好那个司机带我去的摊子就在往下一个目的地的路途中，我们还可以吃后乘机歇歇。




基本上这份食物与我们华人的米粉汤相像，只是汤底不同，而且完全无肉类，非常的营养健康。这是我在柬蒲赛以来最便宜的食物，我和司机的两份只收一美元而已。当然，相信这还是游客价，换着是本地人的话，当然更加便宜。

有一个特点是： 他们的桌上都有一个篮子。蓝内装了生摘的不知名植物。这植物呢长了好多的叶子。吃的方法是： 把树叶一片片摘下来，放入“米粉汤”内，搅拌着吃。

饭后走了一段柏油路之后，不料却遇上了一段的黄泥路。这段路走得好苦，全身都被黄泥尘覆盖了。加上昨日的“极限”运动造成的全身酸痛，今天觉得有点不行了。第一站又是登山，心里面暗暗叫苦。埋怨是埋怨，我也是这样的登了上去。果然是一个与众不同的体验，看着水流底下的雕刻，感觉非常的不错。有个22岁的在那儿驻守的年轻本土人充当了我的临时向导，带我这儿拍那儿拍，最后我给了他一美金当作奖赏。他有点吓着，可能之前没人给他钱吧。他说我很好人呢，呵呵。我是觉得没什么啦。

今日可说是花钱最多的一天。在不只哪儿买了四匹丝布总共是二十美元。然后又买了些书籍，一件
T衫等等。这都是看在当地售卖的孩童的份上。总觉得自己好多东西都买贵了。但是他们一看到游客就缠过来了，有时要拒绝他们还真要有点狠心。其中最让人印象深刻的就是有个女孩兜着我要卖丝布，我出了古迹她竟一路跟来。我曾拒绝过她但她好倔强，竟然一直把布放在我手上，向她说下次竟说没有下次，头还很倔强的一扭，让我苦恼不知要怎样摆脱她。无奈最后只好向她买了一条丝巾。我在想如果一直利用小孩来赚游客钱的话，这个国家前途可悲。但我并没有怪那些孩子们，因为听说游客钱大部分都进入了他们的首相-洪森的口袋内，实施是否如此还有待商议，因是我的司机说的。

今天也从司机口中听了一大段的政治历史。大概知道柬蒲赛并不喜欢他们现任首相，越南，及泰国。泰国是因为历史的恩怨，但越南却是因支持洪森地关系而不受欢迎。哦，还有，这得多谢司机的好介绍，花了35美元尝试了人生中第一次的射击。呵呵，30发子弹只有八粒命中，真丢脸。但其中一粒竟中了90分的圆圈内，好不光荣。因为我到目前为止还不能掌握射击的瞄准技巧，充其量只是看枪头、半猜测吧了。但这是一个难得的经验，这可要感谢了我的司机。我也拍了好一些的照片。

好了，晚餐时间到了，过后才继续更新讯息。

晚餐我去了一间叫“高棉厨房”(KHMER KITCHEN)的餐厅尝试一个道地的本土食物“阿莫克”(AMOK)。你可选择要怎么样的肉，我选择了鱼肉。美味新鲜的鱼肉伴随着类似咖喱的汤汁，让我胃口大开。这个餐厅处于一条一看就知道是专为游客而设的街道，十分的洋化，漂亮但感觉和这个城市有点格格不入，那似乎是属于西洋国家的玩意儿。

除了“阿莫克”之外，我还叫了柬式春卷和一杯吴哥啤酒。也不错，好吃。只是有点煞风景的是司机陪我吃免费餐时，竟然把他那带有饭粒的饭匙放入了“阿莫克”的汤汁内。啊，还好我还不会为此而咽不下去。放开心情，继续享受那美味的食物。就在此时司机和我确定价钱，我当场吓倒竟要一百美金，想想似乎很贵，但不想当场和他翻脸，所以接下来有机会我都会一直通过言语暗示、充当教师，希望让他觉悟，知道欺诈游客对他和柬蒲赛人民来说，是一种羞耻。对我来说，一个国家的人民要为自己的言语和行动负责，才不会丢尽了国家的脸，人民在国外也会感到万分光荣。

晚饭过后，我还走了一段的街路，这个城市并不很大，所以很快就走完了。由于明日要去吴哥看日出，之后便赶紧休息，培养精神与体力。

柬蒲赛游记-第一日

今朝五时许，眯着眼睛勉强起床，刚刚梳洗完毕德士就来了。我把前一晚收拾好的旅行背包一提，便出门了。妈和妹都跟着因为他们想见识一下著名的吉隆坡国际机场。我感觉好悃，就在德士上小睡一番养神。

花了大概三句钟之后，我们到达了机场。我们在机场附近吃了不好吃的早餐，然后就赶往机场了。雨下得好大，我心里祈祷着到了柬蒲赛之后不会碰到大雨，要不然我的行程就完了。我的担心不是没理由的，因为根据调查，这个时期正是雨季。

怕迟到的关系，办出境手续时匆匆忙忙，竟忘了把要看的书本带上机舱内，结果在等机处好不无聊的等着飞机的到来。也许不是旺季的关系，等机的旅客好少，大概只有不到十个。我坐在候机处静静的观察经过的人群，有时看到一些美女，还算驱走了寂寞的心情。

飞机迟了一个十五分钟左右，总算还好。可能乘客少的关系吧，马航的美丽空姐还算是彬彬有礼的，很贴心，很体谅，让我对她们的印象加分。空姐中没华人，只有马来人和印度人（相信是嘛嘛）。
飞行过程感觉不错，美中不足的是在吃午餐时不小心打翻了饭盒，还好角度不大，没把所有的饭都到了出来，但也够好受了。在无法可施下，我把身上的饭粒全扫在地上，感觉有点内疚和不好意思，但没法啊，没有更好的方法了，希望空姐们好好打扫啰。无论如何，那餐还蛮不错的，炒饭配番茄鱼柳蔬菜，加上一些甜品，健康好吃。

大块朵颐一番后，我便翻阅报纸，才看完整份不久就听到广播飞机将要下降了。第一个感觉是，好快啊！
下了机，午间一时许，感觉好热，根据报告是摄氏31度。办了入境手续，出了机场，感觉有点茫然和不知所措。别的游客都已经联络好了各自的司机，而我呢，什么也没做。有点后悔为什么不选之前联络的那几位。无暇想这么多了，我订了机场所准备的摩托车司机。就随便一点吧。

这位司机还算不错，只是他的英语口音好重，造成我俩的沟通有一些的问题。但基本上他还算尽责，不但充当我的司机，还充当我的导游，让我必须重排行程。

他带我入住客栈后，由于时间还早，我便根据他的建议去了洞里萨湖。根据他的解释，洞里的意思是湖，而萨的意思则是淡水。不知准不准，嘻嘻。路程中好担心，看着就在不远处的一片乌云，好担心会下大雨。但他拼命的说不会的不会的。哎，要赚钱到这种地步，不过我也将就一点，就体验一下别人没有的经验吧。有云天降大任于斯人，必先苦其心志、锻其筋骨。

那段路糟透了，完全是泥浆，他的摩托车走得还有点吃力。上了船不久，果然下了大雨，还刮了大风，我的身体完全被淋湿了，真多谢那个残旧的破船。有一阵子船还必须应刮大风的关系而靠岸。
我其实最怕的还是闪电。只见闪电不断，难以想象我所乘的船被击中的后果是如何。多谢上天，我最后还是平安的回到客栈里。

在洞里萨湖停在一间泊在湖中央的餐厅，那餐厅也没什么特别的，只销售些纪念品及等等。我拍了些照片，就离开了。沿途中，看到了好些很穷的人家，是真的很穷的。不知他们是幸福快乐的过日子呢还是相反的。我在这里为他们祈祷。

回到市区，可说是一片狼藉，交通混乱不消说，还有好多的路段被河水淹了，害得我裤子被淹湿了。看来这个城市的排水设施还有待改善。

晚间匆匆去了一个餐厅，看了些传统舞蹈表演，吃了些普通的自由餐。就回来完成这个文章了。明日再谈了。再见。

A very good morning!

Good morning to you guys out there. I enjoyed a good sleep for the past two days. It's been precious to me as i long time never really have a proper sleep. I have either slept very late then woke up late or slept for a few hours only, even on Saturday or Sunday! Most of the time i just have one feeling that i do not have enough sleep as my eyes always easily get tired! I really have to thank god for giving me such a chance to have a good quality sleep.

This morning i woke up at around 7 am, i could hardly get myself back to sweet dream again so i just got up from the bed, brushed my teeth, cleared my colon, then went for swimming. Recently the weather is so hot so the water in the pool is very warm! Great! I swam for around 15 minutes. Enjoyable!

After that i took a shower then went to office. I made myself a first organic breakfast in Kulai. Anyway i also bought a pack of fried mee hon as i was worried that little organic oat could not fill in my stomach. I happened to meet my colleague when i was going out from office and she was so surprised that i came to office so early!

Anyway, it's a wonderful morning for me.

Sun Tech Days

Last week i managed to attend the Sun Tech Days event. That was the first Sun Tech event in Malaysia. I felt extremely happy as i had the chance to see the real person of the father of Java - James Gosling. My company sent me together with my colleagues to this event which overall took 2 days to finish. On the night before the event i set out my journey together with the 2 other colleagues from Kulai to Kl at around 8pm. We had our dinner in Kulai first then continued our journey. Thanks to the lengthy conversation between me & one of my colleagues who was sitting next to me, i managed to keep myself awake throughout the 300km journey. Of course, we had some light tea session in the midst of the journey as well. We arrived at the destination hotel at around 12.30pm. So me & one of my colleagues were assigned in the same room. We watched the fantastic four in Star Movie and then slept to recharge ourselves for the exciting event the next day.

Here comes the Sun Tech Days, we set out from the hotel at around 8 something in the morning. The event actually started at 7.30 which means we were late for that. Luckily the event location is just a few minute by walking distance from our hotel. Anyway, the important part of the event was the speech addressed by Mr. James Gosling which started at around 9 something. We reached there with empty stomach. The first 2 speakers who one of them is the Sun Microsystems Managing Director in Southeast Asia Region and the later one was one of the many minister in Malaysia. Both of them are really lousy speakers as they only spoke something which are not interesting at all. Next was the famous James Gosling. Somehow his speech also not much of excitement probably because he is a typical technical guy who is always an introvert.

I do not want to describe so much of details here as there were too many things to talk about. Perhaps let me do my research first then will share with you guys on those cutting edge technologies. In short, these are EJB 3.0, J2EE 5, J2SE6 and etc. What impressed me was the easy creation of Web Service using J2EE5 as right now i got to crack my head configuring this & that before publishing my web service. With the advent of J2EE5, all we need to do is to use the annotations to mark whether this function shall be wrapped into a web service or not. As for the EJB 3.0 i think i do not need to mention that much already as it looks certainly is the implementation standard of business logic(IOC) & Object-Relational Mapping framework in future which also means the current famous framework Hibernate & IOC framework Spring will be replaced by this new framework in the end. So, annotation again! It really plays an important role in making this EJB 3.0 up.

There are several meals provided throughout the whole day. The meal is not bad indeed. Even tough that is considered too much for me already, but i really enjoyed it! The whole day ended with joy and exhaustion as we managed to learn new things but at the same time tired of sitting there for a whole day to pay full attention to what had been addressed by those speakers. Thanks to their efforts & professionalism. I think they really had the passion & willingness to share with us of what they know. They are promoting Java with great effort!

The next day was a little bit boring as some of the topics did not really help us in improving our current work. Perhaps it is only helpful for people who is working in other fields. Some of the speakers tone are too monotonous that's why making some of us asleep. Since those topics did not stir much of our interest, so i did not learn much from there. I also purchased the SCJP exam voucher at a discount rate! I planned to take this exam within this year and this voucher expires on March 2008. Anyway, i did not manage to finish listening the last session as i got to accompany my colleagues back to hotel to take his stuff which were put along together with my luggage. After that i waited for the rest of my colleagues in the hotel lobby to move on to our journey back. Thanks to another colleagues again for kept talking to me so as to keep me awake along the way back to Kulai. Thanks ya. We reached there at around 12.30. After taking bath and lying down on my bed, i was talking to myself, i really got to appreciate the chance give to me and really learned something from there.

初二乡间游

农历初二，一如往常，阖家齐归母亲娘家。烈日当空，心情却好。行程30几里，车程20多分钟，路途多经马来乡村，一有不慎可撞及鸡狗牛羊。可怕之处在于，自小听说在马来乡村出事，只要肤色不对，错就在于你。虽不曾亲生经历，乃人云亦云，但报章上激烈的、偏激的言语往往提醒我此事亦可真。
天使亦能成魔鬼，此言不虚，因人有数旬，除了“根本”的思想外，多数的想法皆随光阴而变更。只要资讯与思考方式的组合不对，火车就掉了轨道。马来乡村内人人样子和蔼可亲，行事懒懒散散（车子龟速行驶是个例子），但当炸药点着了，那爆炸的威力非人可阻。中下层无力出国的本土中华子民最可悲，往往是牺牲者，1998年印尼暴行至今难忘，魔鬼的杰作仍令人惊心动魄。

此行女友第一次随行。往年在那儿有如木人，长辈过老，晚辈过嫩，人头处处却无人可倾谈。可喜此次不同以往，女友随行，能与她在个角落恩恩爱爱、窃窃私语。不过当天也让自己逊了一把，外婆赏了我一颗椰，要我自个儿剖，费尽牛力、剖得好辛苦还久不见洞。外婆看不过眼，年过7旬的她接过刀子与椰，砍了两三下后那型就出来了，我这青年还不如她啊！无论如何，她留了三分的工作给我----挖出洞口。我费了一番劲方弄出了个小洞来。喝着椰水，心底欣慰年迈的外婆还是那么的硬朗，我相信乃拜早年困苦的生活所赐，加上近年来适当的劳动，方锻炼了外婆的身躯。要知道，她可需要割胶及拾水果呢。他们那代困苦过了，总希望下一代轻轻松松赚大钱，殊不知下一代的晚年可有这么健康否？！

临近晚餐时间，吾与女友于屋外散布。乡间摩托车好多，特色是少见友族。我们走得并不自在，皆因摩托车川流不息，不仅污染了清新的空气，也让行人历经风险。但是他们并没犯规，所以我们也尽快地返回屋内。国内这样的华人新村不知所剩多少，在年轻一代都受到更多地教育后，多数都选择了往大都会发展，留守新村的通常都是中年人士或老年人，因新村人多从事农业，工作上的选择并不多，此乃情有可原。否极泰来，吾相信总有一天年轻人还是会回流的，事物总是在圈子内流转，好让阴阳稳定，维持道之运转。但人们相信农业能提供一番出路后，将会有人重新投入此业。

我走得并不尽兴，所以开车去巡一巡，看看有何新鲜之物。正巡着当儿，见到了一间好漂亮的神庙，除了拥有各个神庙皆有的神殿外，其旁还有一个小型公园，立了不少的雕塑，还有个小小鱼池，走在里面凉意遍遍，午间的酷热随风而去。走没多久，亲人打来通知晚餐时间到，唯有匆匆而去。

岂知父母有心拜祭此庙神明，晚餐后我又回到了原地。在灯光的衬托下，那些雕塑显得更养眼了。吾特拍了数照，于此分享。


鱼池旁的观世音菩萨雕像。池上有人造瀑布。水不停地流转，风生水起。雕塑旁种有杨柳，以伴菩萨。


池内鲤鱼条条肥大，正在畅游。

Great Ang Pau!

I received a great Ang Pau this Chinese New Year. It's given by Public Mutual! Wahaha! All Public Mutual funds that i bought grow crazily and one of them even achieved 26.07% of return rate so far! Man, it's not even one year yet! All my clients as well earning big Ang Pau. I can sense the happiness from them as i am having the same one! I will continue to monitor & survey to gain more profit for me & my clients. Yahoo...

Mean while, the 2 stocks i bought have become my Fortune God! One of them even achieved 27.94% of return rate per year!!! This is so great. I am happy i manage to achieve Warran Buffett's target! Well, a bit disappointed as the total amount i earned still not very large. My initial investment amount is too little. Sigh, that's why rich guys earn faster! They can afford to put in a huge amount of money and earn the huge return if they success their investment!

Anyway, thanks Fire Pig(Chinese Master Horoscope for this year) for giving me such a reward. I will continue to cultivate my skill at Financial side to earn me a better living in future. I really hope i do not work blindly for my boss only. I wish to be someone useful for society, not a donkey/dog for my boss. Sorry boss, you can't stop people from chasing their dream, anyway, i shall work hard for my boss as that is my responsibility.

Web Service at JRun 4

Would like to share my way of developing web service & testing it at JRun4 Web Server. I assume you know the concept of web service as this tutorial is specific to web service running on JRun web server. Also i assume you have already known how to use the Eclipse Web Service function which allows you to generate web service related files within a few seconds.

1. To publish a web service at JRun 4 is very simple, what you need to do is to only create the "wsdd"(web service deployment descriptor) file and place it under your "PROJECT_HOME/WEB-INF/" folder.
2. Start JRun server for your project. Create WSDL file by just running your project's web service's URL appended with '?WSDL'. For e.g (http://localhost:8103/services/ProgramWs?WSDL). For this case, "http://localhost:8103/services/ProgramWs" is the path to test the validity of web service ProgramWs.
3. Using the generated WSDL file, go to command prompt, go to your WSDL location, run this command (before that, make sure that you have set JRUN_HOME/bin to your environment path) wsdl2java xxx.wsdl d:/ where xxx.wsdl is your wsdl file while d:/ is the output directory of the generated java classes. Thus, the bean object will be generated. What you need to do now is to replace your original bean object with it. For e.g. Your web service is about to get all programs of an institution, you will have a "getPrograms()" method which returns an array of Program bean object. So just replace this Program object with the auto-generated one which contains additional code for the web services.

Wanna try these frameworks out

I hope within the next few months i will be able to try these technologies out:

1)Ajax Framework - After doing some research, i found out combination of scriptaulous with Prototype.js is the best Ajax Framework on market so far, even better than Google GWT, amazing ha!

2)Business Logic & ORM framework - EJB 3.0: This framework has reduced the complexity for developers thus started to gain back popularity among the java developers esp. those who are keen on using Spring + Hibernate now. The advent of Java 5 has indirectly sped up the birth of this framework, hope by using it can really ease my job, hihi.

3)Web Framework - Struts is getting obsolete and outdated already. So far it is the most successful web framework. There is a group of its followers are still figuring out how to push it further forward (currently known as Struts TI). I still got hope in this framework.

返乡成功！

上个星期六成功回家了！之前吾心还忐忑不安呢！因为雨停了没几天而已，而真担心永平往三合港地其中一个低洼路段之水位未退。好在一路顺风，呵呵。

在心里还不安的时候，老神在在地在永平市区查找福州蛋面所在。嗯，是一本书介绍的。照着书中地图，不费吹灰之力就找到了。那儿还有个美眉哦！尝了几口，蛮特别的，但是并不是很适合我的胃口，不过可能适合你的呢？！呵呵。





吃着吃着，雨就下了，幸好是一场小雨而已。



吃完上路，拍了路边的积水区。

第二波水灾记 - 返乡受阻

上个星期六虽然得知水灾灾情相当严重，但还是抱着半信半疑的态度，尝试返乡，毕竟人云亦云时常发生，且容易出错。我在新山载了也想回乡的朋友后，就往永平方向出发了。概欲回乡，必经永平。到了永平时，发现市区一如往常，心里稍安，可惜在之后的路程就不甚顺利了。

出了市区，一眼望尽，水淹处处，我尝试冲出三个淹水地路段后就被前面更多更高更猛的淹水处吓着了。我与朋友考虑着该不该继续往前走，因为失败的话后果是相当严重的。在斟酌了片刻后决定还是放弃了。因为前面路途还遥远着，我们也担心即使到了还回不回得来。最后打道而返。此行浪费了车油与精神，还好吃了些永平著名食物，稍慰心情。

这里是淹水路段（永平前往三合港的路段）的照片：

Lucky , Unlucky

Last week i was supposed to go back to my hometown with my friends. Before that there were a heavy rain for a few days in Johor so we were worried whether we would be able to make it or not. In the end we decided to give a try. On Saturday morning i met him at Cityquare, we had our lunch there and moved on to our journey. By the time we reached Yong Peng it was already 2 something in the noon. Here we faced our first obstacle. The road was filled by water but the water level was not that high for a car. I easily got through. I managed to penetrate through 3 times. However, for the 4th one i started to get worried. The water level was high & it was flowing rapidly. I started to consider what would be the outcome if my car broke down in the middle of the stream. I had a long discussion with my friend and both of us decided not to take this risk as we only managed to finish our first half journey. What lies ahead could be a few more tougher condition. I thus turned my car back. I got passed the first flooded area and then i reached the 2nd one. My goodness... this time it was higher than just now already. It was 2 feet more and the water was flowing fast. As there is no other choice already, i kept pressing my oil pedal and praying that the car in front would not stop suddenly.
Luckily i managed to got passed in the end. After that me & my friend were looking for famous food in Yong Peng to eat and we got what we wanted after a long searching. At night we went to a shopping center in Johor Bahru so i could look for an old movie soundtrack After that we had our dinner at Anjung Warisan just before i sent him to the Malaysia custom.

The next day, i woke up at 11 something. Initially I was trying to call one of my ex-colleagues out but she was not free that day so i moved on to my 2nd plan. After having a leisure breakfast at one new coffee shop in Kulai. I drove to Jusco Terbrau City to visit its bookstore -- Harris. I reached there at around 2 something. I left the bookstore at around 4 something and went to buy movie's ticket. While waiting for the movie to start, i was wandering around and got my parents & my gf's parents some nice packaged food. I also applied Jusco Card. At around 5:45 i rushed to the cinema as the movie was about to start at 5:50pm. Fortunately i did not miss the beginning part. It was an average movie. Its title is "The Return". Anyway, if you have the patience reading up to this part i will strongly suggest you that not to watch that in cinema. The movie ended at 7:20pm and i moved on to Harris again. There i bought 3 books about China & World History which cost me RM200. That time was already 9pm and i decided to have my dinner at Sushi King which cost me RM21! On the way to Sushi King i bought 1 shirt to myself and 1 shirt for my gf for Valentine's present at Levi's. That cost me about RM150! What a big spender you think! haha.

I went back home with a very much satisfactory & leisure mood. Even tough i did not manage to find the soundtrack i am longing for, but at least i enjoyed & got myself t-shirt & nice books. That's great, isn't that. Being alone sometimes can be enjoyable as nobody will have to stop you from going to places you want and you don't need to force yourself to go to places they like but you don't like either way.

华美茶餐室美食之旅记

有一天我往新山市区办事去，偶经一间老式海南咖啡馆，望了望招牌，突然想起了似曾相识，几番思考后，啊！原来是在一本介绍美食的书本看到的。当时已经午间三点多，肚子已饱，但抱着美食不可错过的心态，还是入内一试了。

里面洋溢着我喜欢的老式海南气氛，不禁遥想着殖民时来马工作的海南人的辛劳，他们代表着华人一支，见证了国家从殖民地时期过渡到如今，也为大马独特的多元文化做出了卓越的贡献。

我攀上了二楼，找了个靠窗的位置坐下，看出窗外，远处的新加坡移民厅遥遥可见，若隐若现的笼罩在一片迷蒙中。

来招待的是两位上了年纪的妇女，其中一位和蔼可亲，倍觉温暖。不说这么多，让你们看看那美味的食物。

我叫了一杯咖啡C和一片炭考面包，涂上了浓厚的牛油块和加椰（大马的特产吧？恕我平时不做考察）


吃着美味的面包，喝着还算不错的海南咖啡，我欣赏着窗外的一片车水马龙，打量着熙来攘往的人群。在想，好不容易来到这儿，总该吃多点吧！就叫了一盘煎散蛋搭配绿豆及土豆，嗯，也很不错哦！


接着我环顾店内四周，发现了一样有趣的东西。其中一位妇女员工正拉着井水呢！哈哈，不要误会，那不是井水，而是楼下厨师煮了食物后送上来的方式。很有趣呢！


消磨了一阵子，到了该走的时间了。其中一位妇女员工开了一张单给我，说我需在楼下还钱。在楼下等待的当儿，又看到了一样东西。一架老古董收账机，我可是头一遭见识此物。


离开了华美茶餐室，在车内拍摄了一张其店外表，为这次之旅作了一个总结。
