Probation period ended

Not just any probation period. Not about work. It's about relationship.

Few months back, there is a girl I really like, and we started to text each other more and more until we realize it might work out. So we made it clear to ourselves that we should use about 3-6 months to get to know each other. I consider this as probation period.

So the 3 months probation period ended and I didn't get confirmed. It's sad but life goes on.

I'll just continue to focus on my work.

Ranting about work.... havent do this for quite some time.

I had been sacrificing a lot for the job that I like. Basically if the company hired me, I will put in all my effort to do all I need to get the company to run normally. However, working for startup is really tiring because the people who can take over your job is really less.

Here is the thing, the only people who can do backend programming in my current company is my CTO Hikmat and me. So my CTO had left to London for some meeting or conference. I am the only backend programmer left currently.

Earlier this year, I booked a ticket to Vietnam for a solo vacation on 21st April 2016 to 25th April 2016. Who knows that it will clash with my CTO London working trip. Looking at the current situation of the company, if I am away for 3-4 days and the CTO is not around too, it will be hard for the company to function normally. No one will be able to change the banner, selected sku to be displayed in front page, no one will be able to live new feature, fix bug, prepare the API.....

So I decided to not go for the vacation, stay here and work a bit more for the company. I hope the company will appreciate what I had done. Even though no one really knows about it.

My chinese New year since I am in college

I had been spending my chinese new year in different place since I came to KL.

So earlier when I was still studying in MPI in 2008, the place that I spend my chinese new year

2009 - in Sibu with dad and brothers
2010 - in Sibu, still with dad and brothers
2011 - in Sibu, also with dad and brothers (straight go KL to work)
2012 - in KL with Kevy
2013 - in Johor with Yun Kai
2014 - in Bintulu with brothers and Ah Lui
2015 - in Miri, to Bintulu, then to Sibu
2016 - in Miri only. 

So as you can see, I had not been going back to Sibu for chinese new year for 5 years. In year 2015, I had only been there for 1 day, then I went to Bintulu by bus to take flight back to KL.
