Winter Vacation and Work
Wow.. Suddenly realise I haven't updated this blog since the start of holidays. So here I go..
Been pretty busy lately. Mainly because of RGIS stocktaking jobs and hanging out with friends, RGIS stocktaking takes up most of my time though.
So far, my job for RGIS has taken me to quite a few places. The furthest I have been to is to Rottnest Island. Imagine taking the bus at 530 in the morning to get to the jetty at 7. LOL! Then taking the ferry at 730 to an island to do stocktaking. Luckily I'm getting paid for the trip, if not I wouldn't even consider going there. But all in all, it's a good trip, though two of our colleagues decided to take the second ferry. And no, they're not a couple, and no, they're both guys. OMG! Are you thinking what I'm thinking? ....
Been counting cards for RGIS so much that I don't want to see another postcard or greeting card again in the near future. So, if anyone send me a postcard or a greeting card, be prepared to face my wrath!
Been trying to do as much sports as possible. So far in the holidays, I've been to gym twice only. Played badminton twice. No basketball.. hell fail.. Will try to get as much gym as possible since...
Wait for it....
Wait for it....

I've got a new job!
Yes! This is my new workplace. Centre for Software Practice. I'm officially a practicum student and am currently a programmer!
Centre for Software Practice is based at UWA, which means during the holidays, I have to take the bus to uni everyday. Yippe? The bus to uni is so scarce, and if it wasn't for the no. 79 bus, it'll be even less. Thank god for Queen Elizabeth Hospital. LOL!
I just started work today, and oh what a work it is. When I walked into it, I looked at the screen of my colleagues, I went WOW! It's programming at a whole new level.
Right now, they have a pretty big project. (From what I heard, it's worth a few million :O) It involves developing an electronic medical management system, which allows medical records to be transferred between health professionals. It sounds so cool that at first I wanted to jump in to the project immediately. It sounds like something from Godhand Teru (a manga I am currently reading! One hell of a manga. Definitely should read), only that this is real life.
I said at first didn't I?
Yeah... Right now I'm stuck with the basics of basics of the programming language that they use, AJAX and Visual C#. I have no experience with these two languages at all, which leads me to a series of problems. Right now I'm focused on developing a To-Do List system that uses a database system, and which enables different users to add tasks or edit existing tasks. I sort of got the gist of it already, hopefully I get it done by tomorrow. I was so focused on doing this project, because I want to get to the real big project as soon as possible, that I didn't even eat lunch! OMG! I just continued on doing the project and by the time I look at my watch, it's 430. WTF! I even bought some clothes planning on going gym today, but at the end, I'm so mentally and physically exhausted that I couldn't stand it anymore, and just took the bus home.
Funny thing about my workplace is that, there are three Tims! Tim 1 is the oldest and is teaching me the basics. Tim 2 I haven't really talked to much. Tim 3 is a practicum student like me, except that he is a much hardcore programmer compared to me, so he caught on really fast. Woe is me.... Hopefully I can catch on asap!
If I can cope with this, hopefully I can get a job here during the end of year. Then that's 2 months of vacation work secured. Hmm... Let's not jynx it! ..
That's all for now! Bye!
