Yesh !!! I'm off today from my official work..for some sight-seeing (hehe..some business to take care la basically). Arrived around 10.40 am, start working on it. Break for lunch at 1.30 pm..came back at 3 pm. Then, DB solved in 1/2 hour.
After that, my turn to take over the production machine. Load the app, test it out..and S&!T !!! Doesn't work !!! I thought..there goes my holiday tomorrow :( Maybe have to overnight here. Then at around 7++ pm (after 2 hours of thinking, figuring, contemplating, and other things)..I solved the problems !!! (Thank God !). I'm still not lost in my programming..and smart card thingy as well ;)...yeaahaa !!!
Now just cosmetic and tidy-up the apps..then maybe in another 2 hours head back to KL.
once...a kid, a student, a programmer, a manager, a virgin, a husband, a workaholic, a CTO. still...a son, a human, a father.

ONCE...working with foreigners
This is not the first time that I involved in a project that includes foreigners. I've been working with Indian, French, Italian, Dutch, American, South African, Thais, Indonesians, and Koreans. But those involvement not as intense as the one I'm handling now.
I must say that this is the first international-like project that I'm handling in the big scale (>RM20m) for 14 months. Todate, I've been dealing with 8 Koreans altogether. The difference can be seen whether they've experience working internationally or just in Korea. No doubt their work attitude is much better than some (or most ?) of us, but they would also need to adapt to our environment soonest possible.
Recently, I have some trying moment with the Project Leader. He must understand that even though they have reached developed state status, they have develop and use the system for the past 10 years, we are not that bad in terms of software development methodology and experiences. Probably bad for him that this particular PM is from technical background..and has not lost his sense of software development just yet.
I hope they're professional enough (i.e. not so emotional..even though he did demonstrate that he's bit emotional..), and continue working for the best of the project. Am full gear for the good of the project, for the best interest of my company...and for betterment of future generations thru this project.
