When small things play a part

Imagine that you have to draw something like this picture above from scratch and to add in IP addresses and names for each of them accurately. This was what i did for the whole day. Every little IP addresses and names connected up with the corect routers and switches.

Although things are tough, i am glad i got the chance to do this. It's suitable for someone with the perfection personality which will need you to design the diagrams correctly and pleasant for the eyes. I have to becareful with every little changes i made.

Like the title says, "When small things plays a part". Even a space would make the thing seems so unprofessional. It's like life, when you have to boil water, iron the clothes, dry the clothes etc.. When it seems so unsignificant, it's impact is big.

Therefore, start the small things now! Make it part of you and things will seem smooth sailing ahead with clear blue sky.

Self Improve

Even though i had just entered the world of the adults. The atmosphere of excellence and competition have already engulfed me.

I have gotten several tasks recently. This is what my boss told me, "In the working life, actually it's very very easy. It's a matter whether you want to do it or not. In order for you to impress your boss, you have to excel in your work. Always ask yourself whether this is the best it can be done. Improve and impress."

These words have surface on my mind again and again. In order to survive you have to improve. Maybe Yong Liang had already knew this and excelled. Although we are far away now, it's not too late to start. I will catch up to him and show him that, i can be the "helpdesk" too.

P.S You watch out ah Yong Liang!

Don't Judge the Book by its Cover

Just some minutes ago, Khalis just went off site with his supervisor, Mr. T although it was told that he's going at 11am, to 1pm and just some minutes ago.

I felt upset for him. He did not bring his laptop because of the off site and thus did not do anything productive due to the lack of equipment. He just patiently waited and fell asleep eventually. I can understand how he felt at that time, not felt like doing anything but just go.

Eventually Mr. T came and brought him off. Before that happens, he actually assist me on my project on various protocols definitions. His lecture was remarkable. It really taught me alot by just a short meeting with him. Thank you Mr. T.

He is kind and Khalis should be having enjoyable time with him "working". Therefore, like the title says, don't judge the book by its cover!

Network Diagram 1, 2 & 3

For the whole year 3, i did not know about drawing a network diagram, it consists of so many different layers.

It have 3 different layers to sum up with

-Physical
-Data Link
-Network

Physical
It conprises of cable labelings and list of equipments. Mainly use to identify all hardwares and type of cables.


Data Link
Diagram which shows the VLAN specification and the linking of hardwares


Network
This typically shows how data will flow through the network with naming the IP address with the different network together. The process such as OSPF or RIP is not stated.


This is what my knowledge yet but will improvise in due date. Hope it helps you understand more of networking.

How far can i go?

"What is your expectation for the three months here?"

"Uhh.. AMAP (As Much As Possible) =D"

"Hmm.. Alright then. :D"

I was given my first assignment of my IPP and it was not easy. -shiver-
However i am delighted that i am learning something new everyday for the this week.
The networking world seems so vast ever since i step into NCS Pte. Ltd. With so much to learn, i've beginning to feel that the three years in NYP seems so insignificant.

I am sure now with my comrade, Khalis. We will make out something from this three months. If possible, i will wish to stay on until my lovely country ask me to drill myself and become a man and to be able to protect her and also my precious ones.

It will be another fresh week starting soon and i am already excited about it. It doesn't seems that bad to work. It makes my gear moves!

I shall post some knowledge i gain while research for such a long time which i am passionate about. ^_^

IPP Day 3

I want to share something that i learn here.

If you were in a company which uses a proxy server to access internet and think that you cannot access messenger? You are wrong!

1. Open messenger
2. Click on option -> preferences
3. Connection, you will see that the proxy already stated there.
4. Just fill in the username and password box to enter msn.

Cheers
