Goodbye Giant !

September 1st, 2010 ray No comments

I had left the Malaysian Hypermarket.

Working in Giant was so fun, I get experience that none other place can provide.

I now know how the retail business work, how they do their promotions, and how the supply chain in retail business operates.

And I know, how the store POS system do daily postings to the ERP.

Most importantly, I made a lot of new friends. I was so happy, I look forward to lunch and dinner makan² trips.

But now, I am no longer there. I am no longer a Cashier in Giant :( I had moved on, searching for my goal in life.

Good Bye, and Take Care !

Follow the flowchart to determine whether you are in a dream or not.

If you are, kill yourself to wake up.

a funny joke

July 20th, 2010 ray 1 comment

3 good friends, an Indian, a Chinese and a Malay were involved in an
accident and died on the spot. All 3 of them went to the heavens. Upon
reaching the heavens, 3 of them was on the waiting list, to meet god.
During this time, all 3 members of the family decide to do a funeral
together. All 3 bodies was peacefully placed on 3 coffins next to each other.
So, back to the heavens; the 3 lads finally got their turn to meet god.
But when god is about to register their names, he suspect that 3 of
them are not suppose to die yet. God told them they have at least 50
years to live. Rejoice, 3 of them was ordered to be set free down to
Earth. However, a greedy angel demand RM1000 from each of them
before he could set all 3 of them free…

Down at Earth, at the funeral, the Indian fella woke up from the coffin.
Everyone was shocked, of course. The Indian guy explained to
everyone that God decides to let them live but have to pay the angel
the sum of RM1000. The Indian said he straight away paid the angel
lump sum cash of Rm1000 without hesitation.

Everyone was puzzled. Why only the Indian was revived. Where is the Chinese and Malay. The Indian explained

“The Chinese will be coming down very soon. He’s negotiating the price
with the Angel. He won’t pay unless the angel agree with RM800.”
“The Malay?”

when your BW query takes 1 hour to run

July 15th, 2010 ray No comments

I was stuck in this issue and I think I should share the knowledge out, just in case any of you face similar problems.

This issue happen because the Inventory cube is not compressed, and you’re building an aggregate over it, rollup takes long time, query runtime is extremely slow. You tell your user to restrict more selections when running the report, especially posting date/key dates try to put shorter duration. But the report is still so slow. Why? Because U do not have compression LOH.

What happens when you compress your data in Cube is that fact table lines will be transferred from F to E table. What significant outcome will you get by moving the data across another table? The answer is PERFORMANCE. Just follow the best practice :-

A maximum number of 20 – 30 partitions per f table are recommended (that figure comes from a “one load a day and 30 days a month” scenario).

Partitions on the E fact table may be more numerous because in queries there usually will be time restrictions that reduce the number of partition accesses (partition pruning) because the partitions on the E facttable are by some time criterion (OCALMONTH or 0FISCPER).

On the F table, every partition must be accessed for every query because there is no effective restriction on the p-dimension partitioning key on the F facttable, and due to load performance the Indexes on the F table are all local indexes. This will cause unacceptable query response times if there are too many partitions.

What is wrong with the current architecture is… there is no compression! we overcome slow query runtime by implementing aggregates, aggregates and aggregates. We have even aggregates with mean value 2 with Valuation —–|

So the best approach is to use simple technique like compression. Aggregation gives even more problem. I later found out why the previous consultants from 1 of the Big 4 did not use Compression is because “the value went wrong after compression” hence they avoided compression until now. I wonder where these Big 4 get their SAP CONsultants from, primary school?

Double image-ism

July 12th, 2010 ray No comments

Today morning woke up & rushed to work.

My eye feels weird looking at the emails. I thought washing my face should be okay. But situation worsen when I need to debug the ABAP codes T_T

Couldn’t take it anymore, went to see doctor. Complain having double image of everything I see. It’s like watching Avatar 3D in cinema but without wearing the 3D glasses.


this is what i see, double images

Doctor refuse to do anything but instead wrote a recommendation letter to a famous private hospital here. I am sked. The medical bill is very expensive there. I ask whether my situstion is serious, he said my retina could have dislocate WTF. I shit brix @.@

Did not go to the hospital but some eye specialist. They gave me some eye drops that make my pupil grow(center black of ur iris/eye) so big allowing massive light entering my retina making my eye so sensitive towards light. This will last for 4-5 hours so that doctor can examine my retina easier with the enlarged pupil.


Piktar somewhat related.

Everything seems blur and Bokeh. I have to wear sun glass and cover my head with cloth.

Doc gave me MC (yay) and I’ll need to do some CT scan this week. Suspect brain problem T.T

I was so afraid I’m gonna go blind. From now onwards I will spend maximum only 10 hours in front of computer. I might even leave the IT field, for the sake of my health. What field should I venture into?

useless son

July 9th, 2010 ray No comments

I was having lunchbreak at Weserpark Shopping Mall with my colleagues, it was so crowded due to some Computer Fair going on, but we managed to get a seat at Fun & Snacks.

So the story is, me & my colleagues sat down and order our food, then this pair of mother and her son (around 20s) came back from computer fair and sat next to us.

The mother went to toilet while the son switched on his laptop and was working on it. Then the mother came back and ordered her food with the waitress while the son went to the toilet. While his son went away, the mother just turn the laptop around and used it for a while. Then the son came back and and suddenly scolded the mother, we were dumbfounded @_@, how come just suddenly scold her?? whatever the case is, we heard the son used the ‘F’ word on his own mother, even his own drink spilled on his laptop, so he scold his mother even more.

He yelled and ask why the hell his mom insist on following him to computer fair in the first place, embarrassed him in front of his friends, bla bla bla. Then he just took the laptop off from the table, just like tat. Leaving the mother alone on the table and his leftover stuffs from computer fair. I really pity the mother, like everyone was staring at her like that. the son really no use punya.

The Egg

July 8th, 2010 ray No comments

You were on your way home when you died.

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me.

And that’s when you met me.

“What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?”
“You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words.
“There was a… a truck and it was skidding…”
“Yup,” I said.
“I… I died?”
“Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said.

Just like their automotive & engineering, they emphasize on precision & accuracy with high performance; just like how they play the football.

I don’t understand why people diss me for supporting germany. They support england, brazil, spain, argentina but don’t accept me supporting germany -_-”

I am pretty confident Germany will win this year WC.
