Show off

I like it, although it isn't special much. But it's the first hi-tech tools I have.

First, my baby, I meet you everyday



And from another shot :D




And second, my auto-machine teller :)








Finally, my English friend :))




That's all, new version will be available when I get new salary :p

no thinking note

It has been a long time that I didn't write any post. Frankly, I'm lazy and not a good writer. Anyway, writing blog in English is always a good practicing for English. So I must do :D (although i'm not really a blogger)

In following week, for me there are many changes. First, I finished my piece of work on PDF in FirstPoint. Oh, it was a tough task because my implementation was tied closely with an other component - Numbering service. When something wrong with that service like adding new feature and changing logic, my PDF got wrong. Anyway, it would be ok right now. There is a small problem now but it's ok for me to fix because all team need involving (not only me) :D. Second, I found my lost friend. We didn't talk together for a year due to some misunderstanding. Maybe we can get along from now but I'm sure that it won't be like before. I'm going to hang out with that guy at 7pm, it would be fun with launching and asking salary each other. I guess so :p. And third item, I find a new field to apply to my environment - Shell promgramming. I love Linux, and someday I really want Windows to have something like Bash shell. Now it's true and I really want to get to know new Windows shell. I hope I can know well it for 1 month researching and do a seminar for team and a writing to my firm newspaper.

Finally, I'm taking an TOEIC test again to check my English skill. Maybe it would have good improvement after 4 months using English. Maybe I can get 800 or 750 to earn 30$ from firm :D.

It's unbelievable, I can write this post and don't use any dictionary like before. Maybe it has some mistake, grammar or word using, but I know I'm getting better.

P/S: It will have two wedding parties next month. poor me :(

Entry on 16 June 2008

Today was normal, no good no bad. I refactored code in WCF services to improve function. It was the first time I use multithreading technique carefully.
Oh, my Win 2k3 got problem. The SP1 can't be installed because the key was invalid. Huhu, I need to fix it now.

Got new thing

Oh, it seems to be long since the last time I posted to blog. Maybe I usually keep telling myself that I haven't had enough of time. But everybody is always the same, no one can get 25 hours on a day.
Let see, what things I have done today. I dug into .NET threading technique to start in new feature of my project, got to know how to add a menu item in context menu in SharePoint and nothing else :p. Hmm, it was a little. Maybe tomorrow will be better.
P/S: how cool the Firefox add-on ScribeFire can be, its feature fit the bill.

Come and go

In February, I tried to boost my English writing and listening. And it had a little result :-). I can write English easier but that's all. My listening is still no change, maybe it needs more time.

Anyway, my home's got the new TV (JVC's) and used SCTV's cable TV service. That was so great for me; because I really need it for my English learning. There is a big event in my firm: Anual Review. This is a event that you will get a promote (and of course salary) if you deserve. Will I be promoted and get new salary? The answer will be in July 2008.

Hmm, maybe I need to use some emoticon to improve the feeling for post. Ok, it was time to learn English by watching film on TV, hehe

Happy Victory Day - 30 Apr 2008

Pratise for writing on 25 Mar 2008

Last weekend, I had a good trip to Vung Tau with our team. We have been waiting for it about 2 months ago. All things have been planed carefully for activities and famous sights.

Everybody had agreed to come to company in time at 7:00 AM; but we're Vietnamese :) so the trip started at 7:30. I intended to play some games with everybody on our way but it seemed they didn't think about it. They just got into the bus (we went to Vung Tau by bus) and enjoyed watching people through the window. I thus didn't say anything and do as they.

We got to Vung Tau at 12:00 and then fell asleep till 14:00. Actually, the team didn't want to waste 2 hours sleeping in Vung Tau but we were too tired to go around. At 14:30, everything have been ready for a long trip. We came around Vung Tau such as Nghinh Phong, Giesu and Bach Dinh.

I will continue latter; it's time to sleep now.

A stone and a statue

From TTO

In a museum, there is a stoned road led to a beauty statue casted with marble. The visitor from everywhere comes round to contemplate the museum. One night, the stone say hardly to statue:

"Hey, beauty, how is unfair! Why does everybody always walk on me to comtemplate you? It's unfair."

The statue calmly recall it:

"Do you remember we were made from a mine stone?"

The stone carry on with grumbling:

"We were made from the same mine stone, and now it has discrimination between you and me."

The beauty statue is still quite:

"But you remember one day the sculptor started modeling you and how much you resisted him."

The stone reply:

"Of course I do. I hate him. He climbed onto me, carved me. Oh, what a pain!"

And the statue go on:

"So he can't continue with you."

"And what's wrong with that?", the stone said

The statue keep saying:

"When he decided to leave you off and start on me. I knew I would become different thing rather that a normal stone. And I didn't act like you before, withstood all pain that he made."

Then the stone say nothing.

Lesson:

• Many difficulties you get, many things you learn to make ready for you future.
• Do not give up when coming up against failing and trial.
• Let the past go away, you can not change it anymore, don't let it upset you.
• The past was good, the present could be better and the future will be the best.
