Crazy Lyrics - IT Version

Happy (Jason Mraz [with Cobe Cialat]'s Lucky)

2009-10-01T20:00:00.002+08:00

I can hear him,
"Please tell me, tell me"
Across the conf'rence, with some blur guy from........AO
Repeating yet again, oh my, I feel like I'm crying

[Manager]
Yes I feel you, know your pain
I was once like you, young and brave
But I'm your boss now, so don't faint
You better tough up, or dig your grave

Cialat to spend less time coding stuff
Cialat to feel like a tiny ant
Cialat to be stuck in conf'rence call
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for the change to move
Eventually, it'll be approved
It's sort of too little, too late
I won't sleep tight, I won't have rest, I won't

Cialat managers are more than sand
Cialat I email more than I code
Cialat my teammates are getting less
Cialat my coding is suffering
Cialat I spend more time in meetings
Cialat there are tonnes of 'kamsau-tants'

And so I'm driving back from work
Listened to music and I mused
Life's a training ground for a while
Before we meet our Creator
Count it all joy, while alive
Do not worry, hope is near
Be grateful, thankful and rejoice
Always watching and waiting

Happy I'm secured in every way
Happy I'm forgiven and I'm saved
Happy I am sealed for redemption
Happy to know the Way, Truth and Life
Happy to be found when I am lost
Happy to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

I'm No Superman (Scrubs)

2008-05-17T19:05:00.000+08:00

Out the door just in time
Head down Federal Highway
Gotta reach Subang Toll by 8 am

The phone rings in the car
Everyone's working hard
No one dared to go back early

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta work or play CS
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

You've got your code online
You think you're doing fine
But the code's brittle and buggy

And that set of IDEs
Won't get you very far
Debugging will kill all your mood

Well
I know what I've been told
You gotta know just when to stop
But I can't do this all on my own
No, I know I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

That's right
== harmonica solo ==
You've finished just on time
UAT but lost your mind
Was it worth it after all

I need you here with me
Cause love is all we need
Just fetch me back so that I don't need to walk

Well I know what I've been told
Gotta break free some bad habits
But I can't do this all on my own
No I can't do this all on my own
I know that I'm no Superman
I'm no Superman

Someday we'll do great projects
Someday, someday
Someday we'll make cool frameworks
Someday
I'm no Superman

I Try (Macy Gray - I Try)

2008-05-17T01:28:00.000+08:00

Bugs, changes and fears
When will all these disappear
When will they stop
I believe that greed has brought us here
And we should be gone by now, babe
But we're not
I play if off, but I'm dreaming of breaks
I'll keep my cool, but I'm grieving

I try to change team but not allowed
Try to throw letter but I stumbled
Though I try to hide it, it's clear
I just 'cabut' when boss is not in
Fixed but can't compile
I try to hide my face and I stumble
Though I give excuses, it's clear
The build crumbles when I don't check in

I may appear to be free
But I'm just a prisoner of CRs
And I may seem all right and smile in meetings
But my smiles are just a front
Just a front, hey
Phone calls kept coming, I can't concentrate
I'll keep my cool, but coding suffers

I try to keep things tidy, but failed
Try to organise but still messy
Though I try to hide bugs, it's clear
The testers won't let go of me now
Update QC...hang!
I try to refresh browser but it crashed
Though I try to email, it's clear
If no signoff then no more project
Here is my release notes
May you approve and bless it
Yes, I need it signed
Or else I can't deploy
With all my might I try
But this I can't deny
Deny

I want to change, but I'm tired and drained
(but I'm dreaming of breaks, babe)
I'll keep on fighting, but I'm feigning

I try to check-in codes but got stuck
Try to redeploy, but got scolding
Though I raised DOD, it's clear
My change crumbles when build's rejected
(when build's rejected aahh)
Get put on the table
I try to walk away but got called back
Though I try to email, it's clear
My change crumbles when no EIDs

That's What Bugs Are For (That's What Friends Are For)

2008-04-14T18:00:00.000+08:00

And I
Never thought I'd stay so late
But as far as I'm concerned I'm glad I got the chance to say
That some defects will be re-raised

And if
I should ever fix it quick
Other bugs will haunt my soul, it's like slaying some big Hydras
They just spawn more heads and eat you....

Chorus
Keep smilin'
Keep shinin'
Knowin' you will always stay back late
For sure
That's what bugs are for
In good times
And bad times
There will always be CRs to do
That's what bugs are for

Verse 2
Well you put me on the spot
And now there's too much work to do
I'll be labelled as bottleneck....

Ohhh and then
For the times when deadlines loom
We'll just close ours eyes and know
These words are coming from my heart
And deadlines will be extended....Ohhhhh

Game Of Bugs (Game Of Love)

2007-12-12T00:42:00.000+08:00

Tell me
Just what you want me to fix
One bug and you keep hounding me all day

CHORUS:

So please tell me [why] you keep shooting emails again and again
I'm trying my [best] to keep defects low, but you never knew
It just takes a little bit of time
A little bit of care
To filter out the list
Before shooting back
A little bit of smile
A little bit of thanks
To show how much you care
In this cruel game of bugs

Now, I have to work on weekends
Lonely, the air is just too stuffy and hot
So please baby [try] and understand what I'm going through
It's not really hard to just face the facts, and accept the truth

CHORUS

It's all in the game of bugs
you 'shot' me
depise me
condemn me
please stop it
you bashed me
divide me
into what...

(YK's Guitar Solo)

So please tell me [why] don't you just give me more time to fix
Cause right now i'm wondering, what I'm fighting for? There's nowhere to run

chorus

it's all in this game of bugs
it's all in the game of bugs
in the game of bugs

scold me
condemn me
please stop it

a little bit of smile?
a little bit of thanks?

Never Ending Story

2006-06-28T18:25:00.000+08:00

Turn around
Look at what you see
Managers
Breathing down your neck
Everything's uncertain
All the specs are outdated
Deadline's getting nearer
You realised that it's a never ending story
ah ah ah

Keep things clear
Stop your fantasies
Test your codes
Or you'll be fried by me
Why can't we control source
Using simple processes
Testers treat us like vermin
You will know that it's a never ending story
ah ah ah

Show no fear
For troubles come and go
Learn new stuff
Don't let the days go by
Search Google or Yahoo
Be resourceful and helpful
Learning is a constant
So you'll survive in this never ending story
ah ah ah
Never ending story..
ah ah ah
Never ending story.

Can't Eat (Without You)

2006-06-19T01:32:00.000+08:00

Yes I must forget this evening
And those spaghetti and pasta
But I guess I'll have to some take time to digest all
I felt so full, my stomach looks like a balloon
Yes, it shows

No I must avoid temptations
I can't think of delicacies
When I should have said 'Enough, let's pay the bill'
And now it's only fair that I should lose some weight
I must eat less

Chorus:
I can't eat coz I am very stuffed up
I can't eat, i can't eat anymore
Can't eat, stop forcing me to eat more
Can't eat, I can't eat anymore

No I can't finish my serving
I just don't know why some restaurants
Only serve large dishes for so high a price
If I eat all, I'm just too full to stay awake
I must eat less

For the first time

2006-04-30T20:21:00.001+08:00

Are those your codes?
Is that your work?
I been looking at these for ever,
Yet I never saw you before.
Are these your bugs? Bugging me?

Now I wonder how you could have been so blind.
And for the first time, I am looking at your codes.
For the first time, I'm seeing who you are.
A Smart, Get-Things-Done programmer
Your algorithm's so fine
Now I understand what code is,
Code is...
For the first time...

Can this be real?
Can this be true?
Was this code working fine this morning?
But now it just crashes
It's all so strange.
How can it be?
All along the bugs were right in front of me!
And for the first time, I am looking at your codes.
For the first time, I am seeing who you are.
A Smart, Get-Things-Done programmer
Your algorithm's so fine
Now I understand what code is,
Code is...
For the first time.

Such a long time ago,
I had given up on solving this small issue,
Ever again.
But you left me contacts,
Yes I found you somehow,
And I've never stop bugging you.
And for the first time, I am looking at your codes.
For the first time, I am seeing who you are.
A Smart, Get-Things-Done programmer
Your algorithm's so fine
Now I understand what code is,
Code is...
For the first time.

Close to you

2006-04-30T20:21:00.000+08:00

Why do bugs suddenly appear
Everytime, you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

Why do codes always got errors
Everytime, you walk by?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you went out
The managers got together
And decided to create a dream SRS
So they sprinkled sweet words in the docs
And push the schedule till you wanna cry

That is why all the big projects
Keep dragging all along.
Just like me, you better be
Far from them

Have You Ever Really Loved PROGRAMMING?

2006-04-30T20:19:00.000+08:00

To really love programming,
To understand it,
You've got to know every theory inside
Hear every byte,
See every bit,
And optimise codes to watch programs fly.
Then when you find yourself sipping coffee in your chair
You know you really love programming

When you love programming,
You find ways to speed up your codes.
When you love programming,
Find bugs before QA does.
If you need IDE, you can rely on Eclipse or Netbeans.
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved PROGRAMMING?

To really love programming,
Let codes consume you,
Till you know how to nail that old bug.
You've got to think codes, really think hard,
Till you can feel it in your blood.
And when you see your open source projects in Sourceforge...
You know you really love programming.

When you love programming,
You'll play with every IT trend.
When you love programming,
You'll create great, cool programs.
If you need some real help, fire up your browser and point to Google.
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved PROGRAMMING?

You've got to persevere,
Use patterns, a little boldness too.
You've got to get it right.
You will be wiser for the next big assignment...
You really gotta love programming.

And when you find yourself having projects in open source
You know you really love programming.

When you love programming,
Think of solutions that's really wanted.
When you love programming,
Tell your codes you really care.
The world needs good coders, not just those who talk big, but just do nothing
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved programming?
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved programming?
So tell me have you ever really ... really, really ever loved programming?

Yoo-Hoo (Evening News)

2006-03-15T21:56:00.000+08:00

Well in good times, bad times or ugly times
Wherever you are and whatever you do
A lot of projects running in the world today
Most of them far beyond our control you might say
Perhaps its time we took a pause
And thought about design patterns
And thought about the laws of Murphy
And security and efficiency
Don't touch that mouse
Just try and hear me out for a while

Yoo-Hoo
I said Yoo-Hoo
I've been stressed
I've been rushing for deadlines

[Chorus]
Yoo-Hoo
I said Yoo-Hoo
It's so true
That I've been drained
I was on the losing side

You've been way too crazy
Now my codes are a mess
I think we only need one feature less

Could you click the button please?
Could you click the button?
That's right

You've been way too greedy
Now my codes are a mess
I think we only need one feature less
You've been way too rash
Now I'm a mess
I think we only need
I think we only

[Chorus]
Break productive hours with stale news and lies
You've assumed and intoxicated
With what you think other people are thinking
You're talking the talk
But you ain't walking the walk man
One email, one broadcast
And you become the educator
Can I trust you with my own
Give me time to believe
Those with too much ego they tumble in history
Yea you might have us hanging onto your every breath
So be responsible
Learn to scope, define and be specific
Not to be ignorant
Not to oversell
A bunch of messy codes is so much harder to explore
And working on projects is about finishing what you have started
So code responsibly
Cos bugs always turn up when you don't expect

[Chorus]
We'll be right back
After this

[Chorus]
Well that's all the disk space we have
Thanks for documenting

Kumasih menyintai tulis kod (Qing Fei De Yi)

2006-02-23T23:07:00.000+08:00

Tiap-tiap hari s'lalu merungut
Bila projek akan habis
Banyak "change request"
Tak sempat buat
Pengguna bengang

Kupujuk PM jangan kata "OK"
Kejar jadual kerja utama
Dulu mimpi dapat bonus
Sekarang kena buat kerja banyak
U-Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh

Kumasih buat projek yang sama
Tiap-tiap malam tidur tak lena
Silap sikit QA marah teruk
Kerja lewat takde orang kisah

Kumasih menyintai tulis kod
Tapi orang s'lalu buat kacau
Ingat kami selamba buat
Tulis kod kena fikir kuat

Tiap-tiap hari, ku bertekad buat kod cantik
Tapi ada banyak halangan
Jadi ku pergi main DoTA
U-Oh-Oh

Ku-akan selesai kerjaku
Lepas kerja baca blog YK
Ketawa sampai kering gusi
Kalau awal, ajak geng ber-DoTA

Kumesti cuba "relax" sikit
Kerja bukan segala-galanya
Duit kalau cukup dah "OK"
Hidup mesti ada tujuan
Hidup mesti ada tujuan

The Reason

2006-02-16T23:01:00.000+08:00

I'm not a perfect coder
I write buggy codes every now and then
But I continue learning
I never meant to slow things down for you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you

I'm sorry I can't fix this
It's something I have worked on everyday
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who fixes all the bugs
That's why i need you to hear

I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is You

and the reason is you
and the reason is you
and the reason is you

I'm not a perfect coder
I really want to stay and carry on
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me
To seek new opportunities
To start a new chapter in life
and the reason is you

I've found a reason to show
My codes which you didn't see
With lots of comments and ideas
And the reason is you

Java Coding (Kungfu Fighting)

2006-02-16T23:00:00.000+08:00

Everybody was Java coding,
Executed as fast as lightning,
In fact it was little bit fright'ning
But they finished in expert timing

There were Servlets, JSPs, and a bit of EJBs,
Don't forget JNDI, JDBC and some Swing,
It was called J2EE, there were too many acronyms,
If you don't use IDEs, then you'll be using just Notepad

Everybody was Java coding,
Executed as fast as lightning,
In fact it was little bit fright'ning
But they finished in expert timing

Some used Tomcat, WebLogic, and also Informix,
They said, here comes the big bugs, let's fix them all,
We flood the console with statements, started cracking up their heads,
A sudden error made us stiff, now there are just more bugs to kill!

Everybody was Java coding,
Executed as fast as lightning,
In fact it was little bit fright'ning
But they finished in expert timing

Can't Code Without You (Can't Smile Without You)

2006-02-16T22:59:00.000+08:00

You know I can't code without you
I can't code without you
I can't laugh and I can't sleep
I'm finding it hard to fix all my bugs
You see I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If you only knew what I'm going through
I just can't code without you

You came along just tweaked my codes
And brighten my day
System's running fine and I'm so relieved
Now it all seems light years away

You know I can't code without you
I can't code without you
I can't think and I can't test
I'm finding it hard to debug this code
You know I feel sad when you're sad
I feel glad when you're glad
If only you're here guiding me through
I just can't code without you

Change Your Codes (Change The World)

2006-02-16T22:41:00.000+08:00

There's a place in your code
That I know needs cleaning up
And this code must be running
without hiccups
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
Just stay calm and go through the
codes intently

There are ways
to kill bugs
If you care enough
for the users
Make a little fix
Write quality codes

Fix the bugs
Let the code run smoothly
For you and for me
and the entire project team
There are systems crashing
If you care enough
for the users
Make a good system
For you and for me

If you want to know why
There are codes that cannot crash
Coz design
Is an important foundation

[Brain dead, can't continue hehehe]

Kau Ilhamku

2006-02-16T14:08:00.000+08:00

Berribu "Change Requests" kini aku yang buat
Tiap-tiap malam bermimpi ngeri
Dalam mimpi pun ku kena buat "debugging"
Bila bangun otakku beku

Sedetik wajahmu muncul dalam diam
Ada kerdipan ada sinar
Itukah jawapan ataupun perisian
Terima kasih ku ucapkan

Izinkan ku mencuri Java "code" darimu
Izinkan ku mencuri guna Ant "script" kamu

Kau bagilah ohhh....
Kalau tak bagi nanti aku kena marah PM
Check-in kod la ohhh...
Aku kena salin untuk belasah pepijat (bug)

Kau ilhamku......

J2EE (YMCA)

2006-02-16T14:07:00.000+08:00

Young man, still using ASP?
I said, young man, still struggling with .Net
I said, young man, 'cause you're new in coding
There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, you can learn something great
I said, young man, when you lack of some codes
You use Google, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to program Java.

It's fun to code in J-2-E-E
It's fun to code in J-2-E-E

They have everything for you to program
You can use open source for projects

It's fun to code in J-2-E-E
It's fun to code in J-2-E-E

You can write good clean codes, you can use lots of tools
You can build your dream application

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to code?
I said, young man, you can do many things
But you have to remain focused

No man does a project himself
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just design, go to Java websites
I'm sure they can help you today.

When You Don't Test (When You Believe)

2006-02-16T14:05:00.000+08:00

Many nights we test, with no proof every bug was fixed
We just want to go back fast, our stomachs must be fed
Now we are not afraid, although we know users will scream
We were fronting change requests before we knew we could

There can be lots of bugs, when you don't test
Some bugs can fix, some hard to kill
Who knows what kind of bugs, that can appear
When you don't test, somehow you will
Murphy Law says you will

In this time of fear, when tests so often proves in vain
Bug list can be bounded up with several volumes thick
Yet now I'm standing here, my head's so full I can't explain
Blasting words and throwing things I've never thought I'll throw

There can be lots of bugs, when you don't test
Though hope is gone, you still get paid
Who knows what kind of bugs, that will appear
When you don't track, those bugs will come
Users will track you down

Bugs don't always appear when you try to find them
And it's easy to say that the system's bug-free
But when the users start to scream
Can't see your way through the noise
Just be calm, and laugh a bit
Coz life is more than work

[Repeat chorus]
