Tous les soleils de l'amitié

je me souviens que, récemment, j'ai rencontré beaucoup de gens ont perdu confiance aux autruis; il était pènible de les convaincre de l'importance de l'amitié!!!!!


Chante avec moi, que tout va bien
Même si c'est faux, ça ne fait rien
Il reste encore pour espérer
Tous les soleils de l'amitié

Réveille-toi c'est beau la vie
Et si ton coeur a des ennuis
On t'offrira pour oublier
Tous les soleils de l'amitié

On prédit la fin du monde pour demain
Mais je ne suis pas d'accord
On ne fait jamais confiance aux humains
C'est un tort

Ce n'est pas pour quelques hommes en révolte
Que nous allons perdre espoir
On finira par les mettre à la porte
Tôt ou tard

Chante avec moi, que tout va bien
Même si c'est faux, ça ne fait rien
Il reste encore pour espérer
Tous les soleils de l'amitié

Rien ne doit nous empêcher d'être heureux
Et de rêver comme on veut
La pluie n'inquiète pas le pèlerin
En chemin

La terre n'est pas prête de s'arrêter
Si nous la faisions tourner
C'est la solitude qui tue l'amour
De nos jours

Chante avec moi, que tout va bien
Même si c'est faux, ça ne fait rien
Il reste encore pour espérer
Tous les soleils de l'amitié

Réveille-toi c'est beau la vie
Et si ton coeur a des ennuis
On t'offrira pour oublier
Tous les soleils de l'amitié

Chante avec moi, que tout va bien
Même si c'est faux, ça ne fait rien
Il reste encore pour espérer
Tous les soleils de l'amitié

Réveille-toi c'est beau la vie
Et si ton coeur a des ennuis
On t'offrira pour oublier
Tous les soleils de l'amitié

It's hard my beloved


I am burning my beloved.....
I am depressed....

The night must have an end........
Just our hope must be rescued....

The cairo day


Tuesday i have been to cairo.

it was a nice day, i attended to the SCM (software configuration management) course in Hilton.

i don’t have a lot of time to write abt the day :(mayb later i will do.
i just wanted to report two funny scenes.
i am not joking nor pretending. i saw an ant there, an ant in Hilton!!!
the ant was abt 2 cm!!



i didn’t c the SCM course very useful, it is very theoretical. i beleive that if someone doesn’t have the skills, he won’t get it by attending that course.

also, the english accent of the instructor is insupportable.

anyway, i got sthg i liked to propose on our group.

a smart process called traceability_Matrix. i think that we can implement it in a web based. well, wt is that mtarix abt??????

simply, i think we suffer from multiple folders we have, and which version of code satisfies which bug fixes, and which design document describe this version implementation..and which…and which… whi… also, having a folder and Bugzilla for the customer X different than Y encourage the salesbuzz to expand into branches. The traceablityMatrix is a table containing fields linking the various documents to the version controller and the test cases applied.

so, following the scenario when a change requirement arrives:

1- an automatic ID filled is generated to the new entry

2- the field requestID is filled by the customer ID or the team member ID.

3- the description is entered describing the change req.

4- the requirement priority is entered: it can be in range(wish list–>blocker).

5- dependency , whether it depends on another req or not.

6- Analysis field indicates the team member who did the analysis for the req.

7- changes Approval ID: indicates the ID of the approval document of the Project manager and the customer on the cost and such things.

8- Design ID: links to the document carrying the design changes or the document version describing the design of the new req version.

9- Code: version ID of the code on the version controller.

10- Unit test case Id. done on the realease done to that release.

11- Integration test ID. the integration test done to test the whole ssystem with the application.

12- test case description.

i think making it in web based in very flexible and nice. becasue just keeping it as a document is not promising at all.

La Solitude

Pour avoir si souvent dormi avec ma solitude,
Je m'en suis fait presqu'une amie, presqu'Une douce habitude.
Ell' ne me quitte pas d'un pas, Fidèle comme une ombre
Elle m'a suivi ça et là aux quatre coins du monde.

Non, je ne suis jamais seul avec ma solitude

Quand elle est au creux de mon lit, Elle prend toute la place.
Et nous passons de longues nuits,Tous les deux face à face.
Je ne sais vraiment pas jusqu'où ira cette complice.
Faudra-t-il que j'y prenne goût, Ou que je réagisse?

Par elle, j'ai autant appris que j'ai versé de larmes.
Si parfois je la répudie Jamais elle ne désarme,
Et si je préfère l'amour d'une autre courtisane,
Elle sera à mon dernier jour ma dernière compagne.

Non, je ne suis jamais seul
Avec ma solitude

Chanson simple

restant silencieux dans ta chambre, en imaginant.
C'est une chanson simple que je te donne, Aussi facile qu'elle est tendre, Tu sais ce sont parfois, les mots très simples, Les plus difficiles à entendre.
Laisse-toi guider au bord des mots, Et regarde au bout de tes pas, Le gouffre profond où sont jetées, Toutes ces phrases qu'on ne dit pas.
Tous nos silences je les pardonne, Laisse-moi les ramener à la vie, Par une chanson simple que je te donne, Toi qui fus mon meilleur ami.
Depuis que les années ont passé, Et l'avenir s'est embrumé, Regarde nous deux devenus victimes, D'être tombés entre les lignes.
Si chaque instant éveille le regret, Si on n'se revoyait jamais, Quand tu penseras à ceux que tu aimais, Souviens-toi que je vis en toi, Souviens-toi que je lis en toi.

The end

I am who I am

Is it about motivation? Is it about talent? Is it a gift? Is it a nightmare?

The movie succeeded.

Most of the people, who saw it, reflected a good impression.

I was wondering what if the movie took more time. What if we did more preparation, what if we did…what if..what if…

I think the challenge was not doing the movie, but doing it in the absence of some major factors.

If I have prepared for the movie a year ago, I won't feel that happiness seeing people laughing. Because when I will c the success I will feel that it is a must after all these days working.

The actors were gr8 actually.

It's first time to me as a director. I felt that I could do more, and I couldn't stop thinking of new ideas that I have had to do in the movie.

I start to believe something, I am not an experienced person at all. But I noticed that when I take a step in a totally new field, I always find some value of talent.

For example, my preferred hobby of aerodynamics. When I started it, I inspired my colleagues of my in ideas building the Plan Body. I was able to make anybody likes my plans and prefer it on the other plans. The kids were considering me as their inspiration. I finally got the republic championship 1998.

Another example, when I started the social activities. I didn't expect that I am that person who can interact with children. I thought I was a very tough guy. I was thinking that sharing my friends in the social activities would b a nightmare. But I was totally wrong; day by day by day I was getting totally shocked. (I am not wt I am)

Another example, I consider joining the CSD was a coincidence and unplanned event in my life. I have never liked the Computer world. I was not interested in it at all during my life; I didn't expect myself as a computer engineer.

Anyway, here I am a computer engineer. Changing my career suddenly could ruin my life. But I was again shocked from my performance in the department. Maybe, I could be better in another place, but I don't know.

My problem that, assuming I will believe that I have some talent, I believe that I am not that kind of persons who reach the topL

I don't know in wt field I can reach the top, or wt field I can b considered an exceptional person!!!

Can I b an exceptional in any field I want?

Or I am just a talent (assuming) guy who has minimum requirements for some positions?

Does "having" some basic ideas in many fields distract me and put me out of focus?

If so, wt should I do?

Am I who I really think I am?!!!!!!

Taking the Shots

AHL we finished taking shots for the script written.
it was really funny, and i think it was good that i didn't get involved in the scenes. i was just director, editor, graphic designer, camera man but not an actor.
i will have to go now to make the effects, then merge the animations with the movie. i hope the final product will b as good as the effort we did.

wt i liked abt the movie is the team work atmosphere enclosed behind the scenes. i just felt that there was no tension, and this was the best thing. because, it happens a lot that i feel tension when executing an laready plan thing. I know it's a "default", but mayb wt was making me getting this situation was the irresponsibility of some participants.

I beleive we will take this adventure again, and everyone participating has developed some new skills he wasn't aware of it.
isn't it my crew?

The decision

I am totally down.

i feel that i can't get out of this anymore.
i think that i will have tendance to approve the decision that i didn't took a year ago.

Monday, May 01, 2006

Personal DNA

I made the personal test.
i think it was a nice test. there were a plenty of intelligent questions.

my report is



I beleive that every company has to adopt it's own test to standardize it's evaluation concerning new applicants or resident employees.

Mayb the best thing abt that test, that the report is very close to the organizational perspective. somebody can b evaluated as an expert, creator, director....etc.
