The story starts with 5 mosquitoes, on my birthday eve.
Actually... there's not much to tell between the group mosquitoes and I,
let's just jump to the conclusion.
The result is the mosquito army has 4 fatalities,
and I was wounded 3 times and got myself an insomnia till 4am.
by that time, either the one mosquito that's left sounded retreat for itself,
or i simplely don't care anymore and ignores it.
When I woke up in the morning and finally show up for work,
I was 15 min later than my normal time.
However, taken into consideration that the RD department has flexible hours,
it was nothing big.
through out the day, my attention was rotating among 3 things.
1. deleting the emails from facebook informing I got message on my wall
2. read the the facebook wall itself and respond
3. my work
(yes, I slack off a little bit,
but compiling code and loading the code into device to test gives me quite a lot of free time anyways;
hence, I always been saying my job isn't really that hard.)
Through out the day,
there are 2 msn messages,
and the rest are all from facebook.
Also noted that half the people from facebook don't usually contact me.
So by my guess, if i take off my birthday on facebook,
I'll get roughly around 10~15 msg!?
which sounds about right anyways.
But seriously, facebook is stealing my friends.
As for the physical celebration goes,
there are in truth, none.
my colleagues don't really know my birthday,
and they are celebrating the return/depature of another co-worker in the neighbouring department.
(In case of confusion,
the girl took a non-paying leave for about 8 months,
and return just to quit today)
so didn't really want to bother them.
the result of a match between a girl people probably never gonna see again
vs.
the birthday of a dude who's been here < 1 year
plus he's gonna be here the next day, and the next day, and so on.
c'mon, it's obvious, even i would pick the girl.
By 8:15 pm, I ended my work,
and headed to near by swimming pool.
It rained earlier, so the two co-worker decided not to go,
cauz they don't like the chances of getting wet if it's not the pool's water~ lol
(there's a better explaination for that, but this one will suffice)
I ended up going there alone,
forgotten my cap, went home and retrieved that,
and started swiming at 9:05pm, and broke my last weeks record.
(last week i only did 3.5 laps, this week i did 5.5 or 6.5, I lost count.
considering that I haven't swim for a long long long time, this is actually pretty good improvement.)
on the note of swimming,
people should know that swimming is simple,
just wave your arms and swing your legs till you can't feel them anymore.
I would have reach that state eventually if not for the cramp on my left index toe ~
It happened when I went to washroom to pee,
and when I return to the water i found out that i cannot swim with that part of my muscle tighten~
will of god i guess, plus I almost couldn't feel my arms anymore anyways.
After that I went to bakery and bought some bread and a cake and went home,
with a little difficulty parking my scooter through out the journy.
I'll post the pic of the cake and change the song later, as i really can't feel my arms that well right now.
It's a very calm birthday.
Not a legendary one, but certainly not a bad one.
Awesome nevertheless
(ignorning the mosqito army, cramp, and the fact that my scooter almost broke my arms),
since I got to check out girl at the swimming pool,
and while I'm at that also checking their gesture to learn how to swim faster~
(yeah, the best swimmer there is a girl, whom according to my colleague,
goes there everyday, and still takes lessons and trains very hard,
though she's already beyond the description of "being great at swimming".
And there's also the fact that why would I wanna look at dudes?)
But seriously though,
I probably should take the swimming lessons that one of the dude is holding in my company,
since I forgot most of the moves to swim efficiently.
Also, I should have finish my cover letter before my birthday,
my schedule is on delay here at the moment... arrrggghhh
今天是昨天的母親節
(很難懂吧...哇哈哈哈)
再當地11:56pm的時候,
我打了通電話祝我媽母親節快樂,
結果她沒接 Orz
眼看著母親節漫步而過, 心中掙扎著要不要再打一次
在金錢與親情之間徘徊了10分鐘,
(話說回來, 我還真愛錢,
可是手機費到現在也沒有一毛錢是我出的...
我可能只是單純的愛省錢吧, 不管是自己, 家人還是朋友的,
不可否認的, 省錢有總莫名其妙的爽感)
我還是選擇了後者, 電話打了, "母親節快樂"也說了
不過心中還是有點愧疚...
這愧疚並不是因為母親節事實上以國際時區來看已經過了,
而是因為我們之間的對話.
母: "Hello"
我: "媽, 偉成" (注1)
母: "喔"
我: "母情節快樂!"
母: "喔,謝謝"
... ....
我: "阿..房子怎麼樣阿"
母: "還在整修..."
(我們花了大約30秒討論房子)
我: "喔, 手機, 長途電話, 我先掛了" (注2)
母: "喔 ..." (似乎欲言又止)
(我的手比我的腦還快, 掛電話- -)
那剎那... 我突然想到,
我怎麼會在問房子的事,
而不是在問我媽在那最近過的如何OoO|||
果然是個沒誠意的不肖子- -"
而事實也似乎是如此,
青少年叛逆期過後,
我對口語孝道的表現實在是很不擅長阿
如果沒事先想的很清楚要講什麼...
更糟糕的是, 我對朋友間的媽媽們的臨場反應相較之下實在是好太多,
表示我並不是沒有臨場應變的能力, 這還真是... 讓自己不爽阿...
去年為了避免這種尷尬場面而自己畫的卡片感覺反而好的多...
不過我媽老是會對這種事情跟我尷尬的說聲謝謝實在讓我感到全身不對勁...
搞不好我媽那尷尬的道謝,正是我大腦正常運作的剋星@@
一個媽媽如果知道她可以讓孩子一時之間變笨,
不知道她應該要哭還是笑~
今天跑步紀錄:
0~2: 3.7 km/h
2~17: 6.0 km/h
17~24: 3.7 km/h
24~30: 3.8 km/h
走路速度增加了, 應該到4.0 km/h都還可以用走的
不過這次跑完 15分鐘的 6.0 並沒有想吐的感覺
果然跨級的自我挑戰, 進步速度會飛快,
希望不會有後遺症
注1:為了省錢把'我是'省略掉了
注2:為了省錢把'我現在在用'和'打'和'費用比較貴'省略掉了
公司最近在做個人目標設定,
基於我寫的都跟我做的東西的細節無關...
應該沒有違背, 保密條約吧~~

Taking a second look at this, still feel like a load bs to me, from an objective view.
However, I must emphasize, that I actually meant every point when I wrote them. Hence, I did not lie. (yeah yeah yeah... a dreamer, not a do-er)
雖然這些自我目標的設定還要經過主管批核, 而且是狗腿了點.
(I sicerely hope none of my co-workers know nor read my blog here.)
不過剛被加薪了, 狗腿就讓他狗腿吧.
--------------------------------我是超完美分隔線--------------------------------
最近為了減肥, 為了增加體力, 為了健康, 為了地球, 為了正義...
開始了走路上班, 跑跑步機的運動.
(為了地球, 應該在街上跑, 不應該用跑步機...
不過在台灣我怕被撞死, 而且外面空氣太髒)
為了不浪費時間, 我通常是固定只動30分鐘.
其中15分鐘走, 15分鐘跑.
通常是暖身走2分鐘, 連續跑15分鐘, 然後再走13分鐘讓自己心跳平緩下來.
今天了新的突破,
0 ~ 2 : 3.6 km/h
2 ~ 17: 6.0 km/h
17 ~ 23: 3.5 km/h
23 ~ 29: 3.6 km/h
29 ~ 30: 3.5 km/h
重點在於我通常跑 15分鐘時速都是 5.2 km/h
突然增加到 6.0 km/h 跑完的時候差點吐...
走路時速沒有增加, 因為再增加就快變成跑步了.
也把這個當作是加薪而連帶的增加好了.
Hmm... I guess the topic is a bit too clear-cut that I actually don't know where to begin. (usually I wrote things before I label it with topic )
到了新竹上班也10個月了...
好久, 如果說我有83歲的壽命,
那我人生的1%已經貢獻給明泰了.
沒錯, 過去幾個月,
在下便是以"歲月不饒人"來激勵自己別不小心地陷入了原地踏步的迴圈中.
我個人對小孩沒什麼研究, 不過10個月足以讓小孩會說話了吧.
在公司10個月, 也足以讓人學會一些台灣科技公司才會有的專業術語.
1. Ma - Mod/Modif/改/抹(台語)
This is almost the all purpose word, since it mean both erase and modify/edit.
eg.
"debug message 沒有用的就ma掉拉, 等一下timing出問題, 你就準備找bug找到起笑吧"
2. 抓 - capture (usually internet packets)
As 明泰 is a 網通 company, this is quite common, but the especially worse is my manager's manager has a evolve form of this term which gives new-comers no clue on what the hell he means, and that form is "抓抓". - -"
eg.
主管的主管: "測不出來就抓抓阿"
我: "什麼抓抓?"
主管的主管: "抓抓你不會?"
我心理os:"我知道你在說什麼才有鬼, 什麼鬼抓抓"
我: "什麼抓抓?"
主管的主管用了很訝異的語氣開始解釋. 兩秒後我打斷他的話.
我: "喔.. 抓封包喔..瞭了"
我心理os: "度到校ㄟ...誰叫這個叫抓抓?"
3. 測 - test
This one is quite obvious, but it assists in in helping me finding out that Taiwan Hi-tech professionals are so efficient that they are fundamentally lazy in pronoucing sounds... whatever language it is.
eg.
"麻煩把那些全部要認證的都測一下"
4. biu - build
This is another word for compiling code.
eg.
"ㄟ..這個code biu不過ㄟ.. @@@@"
5. 當/don - download
I think even non-hi-tech ppl use this. As everyone love to don some stuff.
eg. "去當一份新的project, 然後biu 一份"
6. 叉 - x
As tw ppl will pronouce 'x' as a-ku-su, that's 3 syllables, in comparison with 叉, 1 syllable. The choice of laziness is obvious.
eg. "windows 叉p" "802點1叉" means "xp" and "802.1x protocal"
therefore, when used in combination you'll get something like:
"你去把opensource的那個_____當下來, 抹一抹, biu 一份, 測一下.
如果有bug, 抓一下packet, 看一下.
如果還解不了, 再來問我"
yeah.. seriously.. that's something my boss would say 3 month ago.
except now solving bugs, and capturing packet is too obvious and trivial to mention.
ps. the fact that i'm writing the first part of this during work time is kinds scary and sad @@
seriously, I'm too loosen up now.
