Ah Song's Corner

Just a little bit of background of myself, I started my working life as technical analyst then switch to programmer after 2 years, and my career path grow to become software development manager today. I have been working in an IT companies, from big to small enterprise and figure out most of the IT departments in Malaysia having the most people Single point of failures among departments. It is not so healthy for a company to have many SPOF in one department. Throughout my experiences, I managed to overcome this problem in my previous workplace provided the turnover rate is not high. I think most importantly is documentation for the system need to be solid, I personally think some of the company not willing to spend money getting the product stable with better documentation.

Secondly will be the process management, and some of the IT department don’t...

Have you ever get this feeling? Early morning when you wake up from your roller coaster sleep and you always stuck with the feeling that you want to do something different today. So, you decided to take another route to the office and as usual stuck in the bad traffic jam for 1 hour. By that time, you started mumbling at yourself as you had try something different which not really right, and still doubt about taken a new route was a correct choice. Then you came into office with some cheerful greeting among your colleague and realized that they gossip about you which you act differently today.  Another knock into what you have did, and you start to look at the workload and keen to clear up some tasks and you spent 8 hours in the office to get it done. By end of the day, you get another new long list of work by your boss and that can really “make your day”. You left office late and stuck into a bad traffic jam towards home. And you finally can enjoy your dinner at 9PM which ...

In 1990, when I came to the age that know football was a wonderful sport. I started to learn on 2 wonderful football clubs (Manchester United and Kedah FC) in this world which inspired me on personal hobby in football. Let’s talk about Kedah before we get into Manchester United. Kedah won 1990 Malaysia cup and we won Malaysia League by 1992, and I was very amazed with the team performance and sooner become sad on the match-fixing scandal which happen in Malaysia. By then I switched my love to focus on Manchester United and kept my hobby alive till today.

But he manag...

As it can be describe for finding new perspective in life. I love traveling, but I think not in group tour. As I find it difficult to catch up in term of flexibility and freedom. When I travel, I prefer doing it alone or with a few companions as it gives me the freedom and flexibility to do what I want. I enjoy travel like a travellers, this allow me to learn more on how local people in particular location live their life differently and got a chance to learn more on their view about many things. Travel make me feel like myself and become more humble and not particular with certain things which might caused us do something harmful to environment and other people.  Just done my Europe trips last month, and i am going to plan more in near future. Hope I no need to wait for so long on my next trip.  Really looking forward o...
