Manila Day 5

Smooth sailing day for me and getting more comfortable with my job. I like my team a lot as all of us are so united, you help me I help you, that’s what I say teamwork.

Yesterday went out with my Department boss and Company boss to have a drink. At first I didn’t know he’s the boss, I feel so paiseh cos got 1 time he opened the car door for me. He’s a friendly guy and took good care of us.

Finally found out how the hacker attacks us. He’s using SQL Injection, to edit the account information, deposit money that doesn’t even exist!! Besides using SQL Injection, he’s using Hex coding to encode his language to hide itself J clever eh.

What a tiring day…night all..

Manila Day 4

Today had a good experience @ work. One unknown person sent a warning email saying they going to attack us. Minutes after, the hackers did the ATTACK!! They used an attack called DDOS, it’s a hacking technique that can bring the servers down L Luckily, our systems are able to handle the flooding connections, the attack holds for 1hr. We believed that was just a first wave attack to test our system. Heard from my colleagues that we had several attacks in the past, they even blackmail for money!!

In my previous post, I did mention on Vincent. Today is his last day, went out at around 2am to have a supper at a restaurant called Ping Mang. Hm, the food ain’t that fantastic but still, our stomach almost exploded haha.

Oh yeah, let’s talk more about the interview on the maid. I was surprised when I opened the door, the one come for interview brought 3 more maids who are her friends and employed by the company. Okay that’s not all, I invited them in and sat down at dining table, they started off by talking about ALLOWANCE. I’m shocked but I’m cool with it. She wanted 3000Peso/mth which is S$100/mth. Bring up more people won’t gives me any threat and after all the negotiations, I only manage to cut to 2500Peso L and this amount I pay is more than what my colleagues paid they maid. Okay nvm, next is going to monitor her performance.

Manila Day 3

Went to ate lunch with my boss and colleague at a restaurant besides the condo I stayed. Amazingly the food are very nice, the cooking are so Chinese J After lunch, called the driver to fetch us go work. As usual, went to my desk and observe what my colleagues are doing and try to learn from it. Got to know more on Vincent, another engineer. Before I come to Manila, I was told that his snoring is GOD-LIKE, no one was able to sleep in the same room with him. Today he sat beside me and doing his work, even he’s awake, snoring sound still comes out from him!! But he’s a nice guy J

Finally get to learn more about Network Monitoring. I’m surprised they’re using around 6 monitoring tools!! That’s a lot, meaning I can learn a lot too haha J

Found out that besides Greenbelt(4towers), Glorietta(4towers), there are actually 2 more shopping centres around there, they are SM and Parksquare!! Gosh so many of them. Went to Parksquare to get the 4-gang power bar and some plug converter. That place is like Sim Lim Square, electronics, laptops, computer accessories can get it from there.

Most importantly, their Taxi fare starts at 30Peso (~S$1) how cheap J Got to interview a maid tomorrow. Got to go sleep now, night all..

Manila Day 2
