What I do for living ?

A lot of my friends and families always asked me what I actually do for living.  It is very hard for me to explains what I am doing to non technical persons and most importantly, there is also involving Non Disclose-able sensitive information that stopping me from telling. I believe even Sock Peng does not know what my job is actually.

Few months back, I posted something which probably the one and only lengthy Chinese post on “中年危机 : 裁员名单里有我的名字” . After that incidence, I have been redeployed to another department and I guess life goes on.

Many of you may curious on what I did for living as I have been traveling so often and even been relocated for a short period of time. I have always wondering if I am actually allowed to even blog on what is my job, where I am working and what project that I did before. Probably blogging on this topic may cause me to lost my job eventually. Well, since I haven’t read anything in the Company Policies that I should not do it. I can probably mention something that already considered as History.. and only touching them on the surface.

Over my 12 years career, I have been working in the Production software, Software R&D and  firmware R&D for various companies.  Some of the projects that I involved before I came to Penang are PowerReactor 3 and US9001 series on-line Fault Tolerant Power Supply. Working on these has made me sort of immune to high power / high voltages. Due to the impacts of 1997 economy crises that dragged for years, I have left the company and moved to Penang.

The first 2 years of my career in Penang is some how ending with a blank resume. I have involved in a newly setup company that also designing and manufacturing UPS. It is however the company went into bankruptcy at the end. With the introduction from a friend, I have joined the current employer and started a whole new career and new life. I still think I should not disclose too much on this area but all I can say is I have involved in the 86100C Infiniium DCA-J wideband oscilloscope mainframes and its family products. I have then moved on and involved with the development on Compliance Testing Softwares which run on the 80000, 90000 series oscilloscopes.

I am then further given some opportunities and involved in the development of Oscilloscopes. This is when I have the chances to experience living & working abroad for about 1.5 years. With the recent economy crises, I have to return to Penang once again to help on some other projects but in stead been identified to be “redundant” at the end as mentioned in “中年危机 : 裁员名单里有我的名字“.

I think I have managed to built up my “Personal brand” over the years and I am happy that there are several department managers and engineers that are interested in recruiting me into their organization as soon as they are aware I am “available”. Since it is again involving some confidential non-disclose-able information. I cannot really tell what I am working on now but it is definitely something that you can find on the product portfolio.

I’m sorry if you felt cheated after reading all these that I actually still never tell what I did for living. Probably one day in the future, I will be able to actually put down what are the specific products I actually involved in and what work that I actually done in it. The day probably will come… just not sure when will it comes.

今早把Long Summer Paper & Gift的文章放上来之后,我看到了不少朋友的留言,想要看看旋转木马音乐盒的照片,可是我的旋转木马音乐盒已经被收在储藏室了一段日子了,只好进入储藏室找了出来拍照给大家看看,顺便记录一下当时我筹备婚礼的时候,准备新人房的装饰品。

当初在Long Summer Paper & Gift看到了旋转木马音乐盒的时候, 已经喜欢了,谁知道我听到旋转木马音乐盒发出来的旋律是《月亮代表我的心》,马上爱上了。因为我一直以来想要拥有一个童话式的音乐盒和播放我和权雄的爱的旋律, 怎么这样刚巧融合在一起??你说我会不买吗??当然买下来了,如果你问我这个旋转木马音乐盒多少钱,抱歉告诉你,我已经想不起了。 Read the rest of this entry »

2007年的8月份的某一天,我一个人在放工后前往槟岛Prangin Mall寻找毕业礼物,有个得力助手Junior将要在毕业了,可是她的毕业典礼在吉隆坡,而我又不能前往吉隆坡出席,想要提早送她一份毕业礼物。当时的我很头痛,若是我在吉隆坡可以出席现场,可以买鲜花;可是现在要怎样的礼物??我无意间在Prangin Mall里找到了Long Summer Paper & Gift,在里面解决了我的烦恼,也让我找到了我寻找很久的旋转木马音乐盒和小熊灯饰。

昨晚,我们经过日落洞大道(Jelutong Express)和Sungai Pinang的交界处的时候,看到有一间小贩中心新开张了!!远看已经看到人山人海了,难道新开张的关系,人潮特别多??

难得今天放工回家比平常早,我和权雄决定要到这个小贩中心用餐了,这个小贩中心是Sungai Pinang Food Court,Sungai Pinang Food Court原本已经是一个荒废多年的小贩中心。之前我们经过的时候,我们都很感慨怎么一个这样好的地方,附近也有不少公寓,怎么没有人去经营。如今,看来已经找到了伯乐了,伯乐“妙手回春”把荒废的小贩中心变成了高朋满座的小贩中心了。

我们算是来得早了,大概是傍晚7点左右,已经发现很难找到位子停车了,大路旁已经有人不理照样停车了,里面的停车场位子少之又少,进来Sungai Pinang Food Court之后,我了解到为什么停车位不够的原因之一就是太多小贩的档口。若是每个小贩驾驶一辆车的话,相信已经有20-30辆车子了!!你们知道我要告诉你们什么吗?? Read the rest of this entry »
