Something is strange.

I have been following a show. Things that I was thinking somehow coincides with the show. I was wondering if that is a SEO thing and the show depended on that. Simply, probably I was thinking too much?

A thing I've learnt yesterday: two forgetful people can probably repeat their conversation over and over again. haha. Repeat the next time and still ok.

I signed up for a free intro class on SEO for Startups & Beginners. It was 11 - 1pm. I thought I could squeeze it in during class's lunch time. They have been many instances I can't join because of the timing clashes with my class. I used my other computer to connect and just to find out it was US's time... It won't happen until 11pm - 1am... I know there is no free meal in this world. Just curious and it wouldn't hurt. Every time, there is like "no worries, no string attached" and it makes me think there is every string attached to it otherwise you wouldn't say it. haha.

I joined a class's chill session online at about 9:30 pm. I forgotten about the class. I tried to find time to do that so I don't break their conversation by saying goodbye and as time goes by it was 12 plus. Then I checked my mail and saw the reminder. Quickly went to the website, I am watching it now. Luckily I can roll back!

I should just be me instead of trying too hard to fit in. Either way, I am not doing fine. haha. I am at a road block whenever it comes to social media. I could reply a lot of things in my head but probably others will think otherwise. Culture? Language expression? Facial expression? or just me? What I have spoken have different interpretation and it takes someone very similar to understand what I truly mean. It gets very offensive at times and every time I tried to talk, this would come to mind. I was thinking should I say it or not. Anyway, to solve it, I guess the best is to always keep my opinions to myself. If I really wanted to say it, I would just write to myself what I wanted to say. Just to clear it off my mind. If ever that person need it, I could probably fetch it.

We are all living in age of privileges but boxed up life. We don't really reap what we sow. I was privileged in a way that my dad paid for my Uni fees. Our parents worked very hard to assure that. If you think 12 hours were too lengthy, probably most of our parents or grandparents have spent only 3 hours of sleep daily while the rest of the days were either working or looking after their kids. There are so many privileges that we have that our parents or grandparents didn't have. I am privileged to have an education that many women at my parents or grandparents's era don't. I am privileged that I don't have to get married just because I am of age. I am privileged that I have a proper environment for a living with access to water and food. I am privileged to be able to have access to educational materials and resources. I am privileged to have medical access when I am sick (our parents/grandparents would have to just bear with it. Until now, dad still hesitates to see a doctor.). I am privileged just to have a bed to sleep on and the table that I have to write on or the lights to brighten up my room. These all just doesn't fall from the sky. Those time, people started working at a young age. 8? 9? I don't know.

Do you know the number of people who still doesn't have these privileges? Not to say, to not to do a thing and get everything? There are times you might have missed out the privileges that you have until you truly look at it. Will these simple privileges be gone or will I have more?

There was once when I was very young. It was past midnight and I saw Mum wanted to go out. She said she had work to do in the shop (to rush customer's order as everyone was rushing for Hari Raya. It was a season that happened every year. There were times everyone was at the factory till late night.). I said I wanted to follow her to the shop. Mum brought me along to our shop downstairs. It was dark at night and quite scary. Mum asked me to sleep on the foldable sleeping chair as she did her work. I tried not to fall asleep but in the end I did. It was pretty hard to fall asleep as the chair wasn't that nice to sleep on and the light was on. Then after she was done, she woke me up to go back upstairs.

I don't know why but these were just always on my mind. At the time, there were like 7-8 of us living in a two room house. There were times the water pressure's not enough when the people downstairs were using. Sometimes, it was brown. Sometimes, it was so low that we have to go downstairs to shower. The condition was better when I was born (we have a car at least) as I heard it was much worse before I was born. I did my homework (I normally didn't do my homework) on the sofa or the floor or the bed (the best and it was a mattress on the floor). As I get older, we have a table everybody shared and a proper bed frame. At that time, I think it was considered living in a better condition compared to majority of the people. Why money never fall from the skies for both countries that were so rich in oil and resources? The answer is blowing in the wind. Sg without any of those strived far ahead?

Anyway, in the end, we had a better house but that was after I graduated from Uni. I have a room of my own (finally) but lasted for a year only because I moved to Sg afterwards. I was like looking for a suitable Engineering job in Brunei and Miri for a year. I could probably work as a clerk, cashier, or a shrimp farm? I did help my dad and work like a clerk, cashier, carry stuff around, stocking things up and blablabla. Good thing, I don't have to dress myself up. There is like very little position to work as an Engineer. I was giving tuition at night too. I did gave that a thought. That is, to be a tuition teacher but I have an Engineering Degree which we paid and worked so hard for and just to be a tuition teacher? I shouldn't have taken the Degree if I have known the condition. Probably save the money and start a small business or whatever if I can't do a job that I liked.

My main interest, to be an Engineer, was to make toys or improve how things work. The toys was when I was very young. I didn't get to buy toys very often. When I did get one, it broke easily. I told myself, one day, when I grow up, I am going to make toys that is affordable and going to last forever. The present that I received, actually broke because of my younger brother. I have one glass thing that chipped because he played with it. I have one big uno set that was missing or folded because no matter how much you told him, he can't understand.

Anyway, I think I applied to Lego before. haha. Dreams that I have never achieved and let go off (don't judge me). Probably because I got into the wrong course? I should have taken Mechanical or Electrical instead but I have already done that.... Can't go back in time. I missed out chance too. Out of luck or what. I missed out an interview for an Internship at ABB. I was travelling and I got the phone call from them and I couldn't make it at the time specified because I was at another country plus the reception was really really bad. After that, I never get any reply back... I have all the time in the world waiting for your call. You decided to call me the one week I was away...  Probably, that's fate.

Ok.... Enough for today. I'll sleep... It is like 3 am..... Still got assignment and other reading stuff piling up.

War and Job

 现在哪里都要打仗了。是不是应该更要花时间找更稳定的工作。其实我的工作才是最没有保障的。应为我还不算这个公司的员工。然后还发现别的事。有问题到最后,我会先被赶走吧。那我现在更应该要找工作吧。不然等到仗都开始打了,我才找就太迟了。。。 Don’t deal with people with hidden agenda. Motto of life.

No title

有些事就只能是遗憾。这是一堂课。最难的一堂课。我想我唯一办到的就是当了工程师。剩下的就只能是遗憾。如果少了这一点我想那我就完全是个遗憾。我想走到这一步,并不是我自己一个人能走的。它不是天上掉下来的。是我在井里时看到别人丢给我的一条绳子。我就抓住了它。好久好久。有的时候好想放开却又不放。松了又紧握着。一层一层的用力爬。遇到各种各样的问题,我一直找答案。以前大人都说难题放一边,要先做简单的题目。这样可以拿一些分数。可是我不知道为什么我说不听。我喜欢从第一题做到最后。当我有一题不会做的时候我会很难受。放不开的一直在那题绕着死都不放。如果在考试结束了我还做不到,这个关我过不了。会一直留在心里。非常难受。很难受。 如果我可以在结束前想到答案,就算我好多题都没有答,那一天我还是会很开心的。应为我解决了一个难题。成就感比及格更重要。当然我妈的藤编是躲不过的。我想我是自讨苦吃。长大了我就会在乎分数。很不愿意的都先答我会的。。。虽然是这么做了,可是我很痛苦。。。有时候会习惯的一直先解决觉得比较难的问题。然后一堆很快可以解决的却放一边。。。瓶颈在哪里我就会在哪里。拿着罐头开,死命的敲。就算所有的小事都解决了,这个瓶颈还是过不了。尽然过不了,那些小事就白做了。有的时候那里来的选择。人走的每一段路都会有难题。你跳过了。问题会追着你跑。幸运的可以搭顺风车逃离。不幸运的会被问题追上。勇敢的就去面对问题。我只觉得小时候的勇敢,不怕考试不及格就为了那一题已经没有了。只能靠着只想普普通通的过一关算一关。能躲一关也是一关。 小时候的梦想其实只是长大以后的笑话。只是一点都不好笑。想去的演唱会,想做的事。。。会跟着时间消失。。。就是完成不了的。不是努力就可以的。。。感受也会慢慢的麻木。梦想如果可以真实一点失望就不会那么大。虽然有一些动力但是是不对的动力。有些事也改变不了了。别人以为的小事。如果你经历过,在和我说是小事。我不会报复性的说这只是小事。应为我知道不是。如果我不是以前的我,我不会这么做。应为以前的我也觉得是小事。

 找不到锅。原来我背着。也许以为我不知道吧。我是在进来前知道的。很多事其实不是秘密。早有人说了而且是你最不想知道的人可能早知道了,而我只是提醒。如果提醒错了人,不懂又乱说,我就应该一开始不说。等真的发生了,就看天看地吧。事实不在口中。在证据。我们只是以为。以为没人知道。只是知道的人不说。见好就收。如果不收,把人逼急了,全部吞下的一定被吐出来。初15。预告。
