call mum!

十二月 31, 2008

today, being the last day of 2008,  when I finished my day and stepped out the office,  a plane was writing above words on the sky.

I took a picture and attached it here as a reminder that when you are less busy and have a moment, give your parents a ring, let them know you are going well everything.

two years already

十二月 31, 2008

By today, I had been here, Sydney for two years.

on 31st, Dec 2006, I arrived in Sydney in the morning,  everying is still so fresh in my mind. My brother-in-law picked me up and drove me back his home, we live in his house for 20 days, then we rent another townhouse, and later on we bought a townhouse.

Then we got a baby, and now my baby is already nearly 4 months  old.

how time flies!!!

圣诞节还是来了

十二月 24, 2008

因为对圣诞节没有太多的感受,因此没有选择在圣诞节期间休假。还是选择这段时间工作好阿,每天support  电话就响有限大几次,比较轻松。今天经理过来,说今天下午大家要是没事,可以提前走,让我想到了国内的时候,每次大年30的时候,领导都是说,没事的时候,大家可以早点走,而且,公司的班车都是1:30  就发车。

昨天还碰到一件有意思大事情,下班回家,开到 delhi  路和  epping  路交界处,等红灯,绿灯一亮,大家都准备发动,但是有个吉普车,超级强悍,它发出了我所见过大最强烈的大浓烟,导致它后面大5量车都不敢动地方,估计这车是烧柴禾的,而且还是那种湿柴禾。

快过年的感觉来了。

十二月 7, 2008

快到圣诞节了,假期也多起来了,工作也没那么忙了。

圣诞节日可以连续休息4天,而且29日又是公司的picnic day,休息一天,然后马上是新年,休息一天,1月底又是过中国年了,我又申请了一周的假期,二月的第三个星期,又休息一周,

因此接下来的一段时间,会比较轻闲一些。

公司也挺有意思,年假超过20天,hr就陆续发信,劝大家休假,咨询了一下老人,公司曾经发生过一下子有5,6个人,连续休假7,8个星期,给工作的运维造成了一定的不便,因此现在公司的政策是超过20天就开始劝休。 我去年休的假期基本都是用的personal leave, 因此年假还是很多的。

仔细算算,

每年公众假日9天,公司额外给一天带薪picinic day,

10天的带薪事假

20天的带薪年假,

总共是40天,

也就是可以休息8周,接近2个月,算下来还是比较满意的。

回到家里

十一月 16, 2008

从公司回到家里。因为后台系统周末做升级,虽然这次不是我主刀,但是on-call,太多电话了,一会一个。索性跑到楼下客厅,专心上网,一边解case,一边看电影。

the peacemaker:  影片讲述俄国偷盗核弹头,最后经由恐怖分子带到纽约。影片本身没什么新意,我是奔着主演Nicole Kidman来的,解决并没觉得太漂亮。倒是里面的头号反派内心刻画的比较细腻,能够真切的感受他所遭受的痛苦。推介指数2星。

traitor:  这部影片我个人还是非常推介,讲述关于宗教,反恐等活动。情节紧张刺激,关于宗教也值得人深思,个人感觉推介指数5星。

a very bad on-call weekend

十一月 16, 2008

I was on-call this weekend and I had to say this is really tough. I kept being called by helpdesk, by getronics and by unix team.  I had to explain again and again that this is per normal, this is per change and blah,blah.

At the meantime, I also did some upgrades, which took me ages to track down issues with some SMFs failed to start.  But no matter how tedious and how diffcult it is, I made it finally.

This is work for life and live for work.

旧车换新车

十一月 11, 2008

终于卖掉了这辆camry。它跟随我快2年,伴随我悉尼的近2年生活,就像一个忠诚的老马,辛苦不计报酬,还记得装修的时候,一次装了900斤,一次装了1600斤的瓷砖,从canterbury 摇摇晃晃的载到marsfield,差点累趴下。

2张图片做记录
