When He 'Jacked' Me (When She Loved Me - Sarah McLachlan)

When somebody jacked me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, makes me feel so high
And when he's on leave, I felt emptiness inside
And when I'm around, so was he, when he jacked me.

Through the projects and meetings, we had each other, that was all
Blaming vendors together, like it was meant to be
And when he needed praises, I was there to lavish it
And I knew that he'll return the favour

But when we soured, I let him go
And he began to drift away, I was left alone
Still I waited for the day, he'd say "You are just so famous"

Lonely and rejected, got no praises from my team
Still longing to be accepted, just like the initial stage
Like he jacked me, when he jacked me

When somebody jacked me, everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together, makes me feel so high
When he jacked me.

Change The Bank (Eric Clapton tune)

If I could form my team
Pull some strings as well
Present some cool slides
So you could see the truth

That these on-going projects
Are all just running fine
But for now I find
It's only in my dreams

If I can change the bank
I will be the hero in your cloudy plans
You would think my role was really something good
Baby if I could change the bank

If I have veto
Even for a day
I'd deny all CRs
I'd have it no other way

And our bank would be so
Stable and secure
'til then I'd be a fool
Wishing for the day

That I can change the bank,
I would complain kau2 until someone cares
You would think my role was really something good,
Baby if I could change the bank.
Baby if I could change the bank.

I could change the bank,
I'll just rely on other people's headcount
You would think my role was really something good,
Baby if I could change the bank.
Baby if I could change the bank.
Baby if I could chaaaaaange....the bank.

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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.
