I thought I was Recharged

For a moment, I thought I was recharged after a cool holiday with some church kids in the past 4 days.. but now, being back to the real world, I feel so tired again.

One exciting news to share about is that I won a place (not the top-3 though, I heard) in the eGenting programming competition. And I'm on my way to attend the presentation night in an hour time.

Updated: I got a merit, not too bad. I believe it's the rich use of Java APIs (Pattern, Comparable, Collections) on the merge-sort question that made me one of the winners.

But there are more bullshit than good news, all thanks to GPRS (little Jen doesn't support 3G). See:

• Jeff Ooi - ISA Shopping
  
• Li Tsin - ISA

We have just set up a series of polls in our company (internal wiki) for the "Best of 2007". Now I wonder, what're the "Best of 2007" in Malaysia and how're you going to end yours.

RE: eGENTING Programming Competition Registration

So I signed up for the eGenting Programming Competition of this year, an open-book hand written programming competition.. Now, the nature of the competition might be a big challenge to IDE guys like me. ;-)

A letter I received after the submission of my registration form:

Dear Yuen-Chi Lian,

Thank you for registering for the eGENTING Programming Competition 2007.

If you are shortlisted, we will notify you in a separate email after the registration closing date.

From,
Research & Development (Systems).
eGENTING Sdn. Bhd.
19th Floor, Wisma Genting,
Jalan Sultan Ismail,
50250 Kuala Lumpur.

Interesting, you'll have to pray for being shortlisted. Taking a look at the past questions, and you could see how Java could be incredibly written in C/C++ style. That's a crazy mix.

Good luck Yuen-Chi.

yc, praying
