 好像第一天要去上学一样。

刚刚把两年的衣服都烫好了。虽然以前也没有经常烫。 Because, it wasn't really necessary. There was a company coat over. I never iron the coat too. Just realize I was too carefree with my clothing. Since I am a bit older, must act like old people do. 明天就要开工了。开工大吉！对我好一点。This will be another episode of my life after a long halt. I hope for less dramatic series. Is this the long way or the right way? I have chosen this way, there is no way back. I took a big jump and I hope it is the right choice. I have everything to lose I guess. Chance was given only once. There are two different chances, I gave up one for this one to do what I've always dreamt to do. Is it by fate or by faith? Please don't joke with me.

 I was doing some recall on programming fundamentals. I can't really remember all of what I have learnt during Uni. Before that, computer class was compulsory from Sec 1 to 3. It didn't ring a bell and I didn't do well. Partly, language barrier. Mostly, I don't know. Most of the time, we memorize stuff. I did enjoy the practical part whereby we used the computer to draw using a turtle in the middle, tried typing into command prompt or is it MS-DOS? as the teacher called out the command (like dir, clear - the only two I remember until now. Only that one class.), BASIC (the colorful screen), and finally, Microsoft office.  Most of the time, it is all theory. I think learning in that way can make you remember things the hard way. It is like muscle memory but didn't mean anything to you. Another long story short, the reason I am here is because of Roman numbers. I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X While looking at bytes, bits and binary, I was brought to this page. Suddenly,...

 I am killed by the hashed password today. Always google. Don't even try to check by yourself why. Been juggling it for like 3 hours and their operation has changed ever since the time I last use it............. give me back my time!

Swollen battery. Expired warranty by few days. This is HP Spectre x360 convertible. The battery swollen to a point where it make the cover pried open and i think the back cover a bit bent also. How powerful is that. Age of laptop, a little over two years. Spot the gap like two months ago but thought my laptop is old enough to have swollen battery. If you have a laptop, please do check it frequently for swollen battery so you can get it replaced before warranty expired. I bought the battery replacement not long ago and received it yesterday. It took about like a week or so. The replacement is just open two screws and you can replace it. Instead of making all the way to the repair shop and wait for a few hours to get it done. That's what I thought. Click a few minutes thing. I open screw 1, there was a bit of resistance but I made it. Then screw 2..... and screw 2 and screw 2.... It took me forever. It was fasten dead tight to the laptop. The head was then str...

  My laptop battery seems to be bulging. I realized I missed the warranty expiry date by few days. I should have checked last month when I spotted it! 我很累。在梦里跑了半天。在找那间教室。写题的时候来不及写最后一句。打开折好的地图，怎么也折不回原本的那样。面试到一半就变成在学课题。有个像黑板那么大的电脑。而且不需要键盘。然后当我终于看到自己要找的教室，我就醒了。很不甘心。我找了那么久。我的背包和钱包还在那里。我赶快回去睡。看看能不能回到梦里继续走到教室。然后就忘了后来的梦。好像是和家人逛街的时候走散了。我找不到手机。。。 然后我又在找人。。。好累。 错过的那么一点。总是那么一点。

Most of the time, I find it easy to make decision because normally I was given only one way. There are times there wasn't even one. Now, I found three jobs that I am really interested in.  First job was on hold on not sure what and the second that came in I need to wait for the first to reply. I agreed on this job first so I guess that's first choice that I shouldn't just go away after agreeing, even though it was only 6 months contract. They said they are processing something but confirm they want to hire me. I am okay with the wait as I am still in the midst of a course learning some important stuff which might also be useful for them. They are more towards system kind of programming. The second (more on advertising but creative) was on-hold now too.  It only came in after the first which I thought I lost the chance when I received no reply from them so I applied to this second one. I am not sure if I was even within their consideration but just treat it as I am, The mo...
