Condolences....

The past week was my 1st week of fypj. Kinda bored there in the lab. Been wanting to blog abt lots of stuff for the past 2-3 weeks but the moment i get to the com, my desire to blog seems to go away n my mind turns blank. I duno y lah...even wen im free during my fyp, i juz no mood to blog...

Aniways, luckily my project doesnt involve any programming at all. Its all documentation. Couple of my frens who i got to noe this past week say im lucky but everything got their pros and cons rite....

Tho documentation is fairly easy, its tedious. Our job is to turn a use-case into a test-case and finally into a test-data. For those who noe wat im toking abt, its fairly easy rite? Well, the thing is, there are abt more den 300+ use-cases altogether to be finished in 2 mths tym. And some use-cases can have up to 30-40 alternate flows....To do one successful conversion, we actually need to understand a use-case first. And without the aid of the actual application-which we dun have- its fairly difficult to understand. The only thing we have is the user-interface to help us out....but damn tedious, have to keep on scrolling and scrolling or flipping and flipping the pages we printed out...luckily our room got a printer. Furthermore, the content of this project is confidential and they actually specially selected the 13 of us...as if i really believe that haha...no one can enter our lab which explains the boring part...

Aniways, now to some sad news. I wld like to give my concolences to Fadhly and family. For those who doesnt noe, his grandfather passed away last thurs. It came as a shock for me as it was his grandmother who was seriuzly ill. Knowing fadhly, he dun usually show his emotion but i noe for a fact how sad he really is. I hope he's coping well especially since he's without any family in camp now. What a thing to happen on his 1st week of NS. I noe his dad is sad. In fact my mom told me tat wen she n my dad went to the funeral, fadhly's dad whom i call mamuni, confided to my dad saying that his father-in-law(the on who passed away) called him the nite before complaining of some discomfort or some sort. Mamuni offered to bring him to the clinic but he rejected saying it was oredy late and he wld prefer to go the next day and dismiss any insitance from mamuni. So wen news got to mamuni that he passed away the next morning, mamuni was dumbfounded. I guess i was shocked to wen i got the news...

Fad, manage to get excuse from camp to go to the funeral that day. Wen i got there wif riff, he seemed very cheery but i knew better. N i was proven rite wen later we were somewat alone he told me that he had juz finished footdrill wen his officer called him into the office. His 1st tot was that he did smth wrong but wen he was told the bad news, he started to tear...he told me he really cldnt control it. I guess that shows how well i noe him. Later, rauf, fad's younger cousin, approached me n told me how he breakdown in front of his officer wen he was asking to be excused for that day. I guess it shows how well loved their grandfather was...

OUTZ....
