I know this post is coming after quiet a long time…but then I was really busy since past few weeks. I hope it’s a great one and you have a fun filled new year. Stay safe and I’ll post another entry later, I had a photo shoot last night and will upload later.

Happy new year to you all!

Life has been crazy..

I am currently in the middle of preparing a major oil and gas tender for a very important oil and gas client and to be honest I am struggling with it. Oh shit, I have to study the tender documents, technical proposal requirement, prepare detailed description of workscope, project execution plan, PMT control structure, proposed project control system, flow chart of planning, cost control, invoicing and reporting, proposed detail tracking mechanism and bla bla bla… argh.

The closing date for the submission of tenders is 18 December 2008, but 14-16 December 2008 I have to go offshore for site visit.. imagine that.

My friend readers, I’m sorry to be so busy! I’m sorry I haven’t commented back to those of you that left comments. See ya later..

Salam semua..

Selamat hari raya Aidiladha kepada semua rakyat Malaysia, khususnya my blog readers. Bawak kete elok-elok, jangan nak cepat sampai jer. Jalan licin tu bang.. biar lambat sampai dari tak sampai terus deh. Info jalan dari Kemaman – Kuala Terengganu – Koto Bharu so far OK..

Selamat aidiladha dan jangan kedarah banyak sangat daging korban.. nanti naik colestrol, darah tinggi ooo..

OK jumpa lagi lepas raya.. sorry lepas ni aku makin busy.. aduhai banyak nya email dan comment yang belum di jawab…

Salam.

Apa cerita kita.. aku pun tak tau nak bukak topic apa dah.. idea tu banyak tapi putus-putus.. macam iklan susu otak budak yang sel-sel dia bersambungan tu.. kena minum susu nampaknya..

Nak cerita pasal politik.. nyampah la.. bosan abis. Dua tiga hari ni semua cakap baik-baik, maklumlah nak suruh vote dia. Malas aku nak tulis.

Nak cerita pasal jiwang karat, baru je tulis.. topic ni best jugak ramai yang comments.

Cerita pasal sex.. alah tak cerita pun memasing dah pandai pun.

Pasal offshore, oil and gas banyak boleh tulis tapi mesti berkaitan dengan kerja kan.. aku kalau benda-benda yang berkaitan dengan kerja ni, aku jadi slooowww jer, macam kure-kure.

Tau tak apa nak cerita.. any idea?

Boleh kita share kat sini..

I’ve been shortlisted for Petronas. But in order to proceed the next steps, they require me to complete the Occupational Personality Questionnaire (OPQ) which will provide them more information about myself. The purpose of such assessment is to enable a better appreciation of my personality preferences for mainly selection and job matching purposes.

What I need to do is go to SHL website and complete this questionnaire. Actually the questionnaires were more to personality questionnaire and test of my abilities.

Please pray for the job interview I went on 26th October 2007.

It took some time for me to restore the missing blog posts, and unfortunately comments at least have been lost. I appreciated if you could repost your comments. I am sorry about that. Well this is my first time played with MySQL and myphpAdmin.

myphpAdmin were not exported images from the backup, I’ll fix them later.

What can I say, the painful lesson learn..
Backup your database regularly, and always before an upgrade.
Choose the right Web Host for your site

My existing web hosting provider sent an email on Wednesday, October 24, 2007 instructed their customers to do back up because they wanted to move Hong Kong server to other.

I did the back-up. The server was back online and thanks God, everything was OK.

On 2nd November, I realized that something wrong with the my blog and the server. I sent in a support ticket asking them to investigate my problem.

Later at 2:31 pm, they replied.

Alright, i just found something wrong here.
The dns of eddyra.net is not changed to our new server, i just changed the nameserver to our new server.
Please do wait until the dns resolve to new server, it should be not more than 3 – 5 hours.

I set my blog to maintenance mode so readers cant access it.

After 5-6 hours, you know what happended.. all 7 days posting are gone and my blog was rollback to 25th October 2007.

Today I sent another 2 ticket and asked what had happen to my blog. The ticket is now almost 6 hours with no response.

I would like to take this opportunity to ask for your forgiveness if I had offended anyone in any of my postings or replies to comments. I will be away for the Hari Raya celebration until Thursday.

I will resume blogging on Friday. Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri to all bloggers, readers and spammers, have fun, enjoy yourself. Special wish to blogger waliz, thank you for choosing to visit my blog everyday. To those of you driving to balik kampung, drive carefully and have a safe trip.

Anyone can answer any of these questions, please leave a comment:

1. Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?
2. Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a gun at him?
3. Why do doctors, when they ask you to strip, leave the room or close the cubicle curtain while you change? ………… they’re still going to see you naked anyway.
4. Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
5. Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough?

It was very annoying when my site running incredibly slow since yesterday and sometime can’t be accessed at all. I contacted my hosting provider this morning and I received the following notification :

Dear Valued Customers,

Currently the streamyx having the problem connect to our HONGKONG server, you might be face slow if you are using streamyx connection now, for jaring or other connection no problem for it.

You may trace from this website

NOTE : IT ONLY HAVING PROBLEM IF YOUR IP ADDRESS IS 219.95.* or 218.*

So currently you need to get the ip address : 60.48.*, 60.49.*, 60.50.*, 60.51.*, 60.52.*

We had called the TMNET regarding this problem.

http://just-ping.com

or

http://traceroute.org

To other country no problem at all, but from streamyx to HONGKONG it show lots of lost packet. Sorry for any inconvience cause.

Regards,

This is very annoying. I keep hitting reload, reload and reload. Why only my site cannot be accessed by streamyx?

Googling around and found this photo..

Kenapa aku adakan blog seumpama ini adalah kerana aku nak bercerita apa yang aku rasa aku nak cerita. Apa yang aku lihat depan mata, apa yang aku dengar dan apa yang aku rasa. Aku nak kongsi apa yang aku nampak, apa yang aku dengar dan apa yang aku rasa pada semua orang. Aku ada pendapat, dan pendapat aku mungkin berbeza dengan orang lain sebab orang lain tak semestinya sama dengan aku.

Apa yang akan aku tulis, aku akan tulis apa saja yang aku rasa nak tulis. Tak kiralah apa topic sekalipun, hantam saja. Dari perihal isu semasa sampailah ke tahap isu cap ayam. Bahasa yang akan aku gunakan di blog ini adalah bahasa Malaysia dan English atau campuran dua bahasa tersebut.

Ops lupa pulok, selain dari blog cap ayam ini, aku ada website yang lebih kepada oil and gas.

http://www.oilgasfield.com/ – Cerita about life at offshore platform, aku abadikan dalam satu website. A humble guide to workpacking, kalau nak tahu serba sedikit pasal workpacking sila la masuk.

Apa saja pendapat, pandangan dan cerita aku di dalam blog aku ini adalah pendapat peribadi aku, dan tidak ada kaitan dengan orang lain, mana-mana pihak, pertubuhan, parti atau apa-apalah saja yang berkaitan dengannya. No intention whatsoever to insult or say something wrong about anyone.

So welcome to my blog, eddyra.net, kalau ada nak tambah, comment atau apa saja, sila kan.
