difference

January 25, 2008

During my trip back to Balai, I heard about one incident.

One fine day, during school time, all the girls began to cry.
And they (the adult) concluded the girls had been possessed (by ghos, of course)

However yesterday, I just read an article about an syndrome that portrayed a similar event. The difference they called it Mass Psychogenic Disorders (not the ghost possessed nonsense).

You can read the article here http://health.howstuffworks.com/collective-hysteria.htm
This article presented a similar situation in my place. Or simply they just being naughty. Who knows?

Coffee Announcement

January 20, 2008

I no longer drink coffee regularly. After twenty over years of drinking, I finally stopped drinking.

I am more energetic than before. Headaches seems to be less often.

It happens that my daily intake was quite irregular. It’s bad. Irregular intake would confuse brain.

Or do a google search on : Side effect of caffeine.

Half – Full

January 18, 2008

It’s half full or half empty?

Depend on the one’s judgement.

People’s thinking tend to be biased toward them. Who could be so objective?  At least, I couldn’t.

Bonus should be given out based on performance or seniority or both?

It’s Sunday

January 6, 2008

It’s Sunday again. It has been four and half years living in Singapore.

Every Sunday, the feeling of missing home is very strong. Yup, home in Balai.

Every Sunday, I’d like to be back in Balai. Sit down and do nothing. In Singapore, If I were to sit down and do nothing, I’d feel guilty somehow.

Even without the feeling of guilty, I still couldn’t just sit down in my own room and do nothing. I’d feel so nothing instead of relax.

How to Quit from Excel – Oracle

January 3, 2008

Release all the objects that you referenced throughout the program after invoking below :

OLE2.INVOKE(application, ‘Quit’);

I stucked for a whole morning just because I only released some objects but not all. The EXCEL.EXE was still in the task manager.

These are the objects I needed to release for my application:

ole2.release_obj(worksheets);
ole2.release_obj(worksheet);
ole2.release_obj(v_cell);
ole2.release_obj(v_interior);
ole2.release_obj(workbook);
ole2.release_obj(workbooks);
ole2.release_obj(Application);

After release all the objects, the EXCEL.EXE was released too. :D
