2021

I decided to fix my laptop battery on the last day of the year. We want to eat steamboat for lunch to celebrate the new year but the queue was long. We ended up eating phostreet and 记得吃。

As I can't take leave to fix my laptop, I bought an electric screwdriver, extractor and drill bit, torque screwdriver, screw kit and battery. I received all of them last month and never had the time until tonight. Guess what, it doesn't work. The dead stripped screw still won't budge a bit. I borrowed an electric battery powered drill to drill the screw to make way for the extractor. Well, for both, the screw material is not hard enough to grip and gave way all the time, instead of unscrewing. I have been on it for 3 hours plus. I decided to force it open, that is no matter what, I need to change it. That one screw, even after I forced open the back cover then use plier to try to unscrew it, it won't budge at all! Then, the head of the screw came off after all the twisted and drilling...... One good thing, it is out of the way now. Tape can solve everything later on. I changed the battery, screw the rest except for that one broken head screw.

 I make it before midnight! Almost didn't make it in time. Glad I have done it before the new year begins. When I switched it on, it was all black and not responsive. I thought I broke the laptop. Restart a few more time, it didn't work as usual. I charged it but it doesn't respond. It turned out I was using an extension plug instead of my charger. I deserved that for poor housekeeping. I prayed hard and clicked the On button again. The screen lighted up and flickered a bit and then yay, the normal windows login screen.

The first thing I did was to shower during the new year.

Amount

 The amount I spent on learning before applying actually costed me more money until I do enough work. Still learning process is still needed even while working.  Doing things subconsciously can make the easiest problem complicated. Could be your old habits or subconscious typing or the auto correction? hm.. This one is more like my habit. It is a hard to catch error when we did like that. I was thinking what goes wrong and no matter what I did, it would not return my desired results. Turned the code that I wrote previously and just a line only which I overlooked while checking, was blocking the rest of the changes… Dangerous code is the counter code that you wrote to right a wrong or blocking the wrong from working. That’s normally a temporary solution but the solution turned out to be preventing me doing other works… sigh… 😮‍💨  Today’s a lucky day and I found it while doing another part… so it is good not to always focus on one problem. The other problem could be the c...

Tools and Work

 Things I bought for work. Another addition of $18.60 to the lost count of things that I bought for work. USB C to HDMI adapter has ARRIVED. Previously, I bought a hoco. and it is working fine still but too bad Shopee and Lazada don’t have them. I bought UGREEN then. I am attracted to name with colours on it. Hehe. Need one at the office so that I have less thing to carry back and fro of home. I bought another ergonomic mouse. My hand could go numb from using the mouse. Actually I have hand numb issue since young. Writing makes my hand numb. Not sure if that is normal but I do practice. I am not entirely sure if that is right hand only. When I used my left, I can write for a long long time even though the hand writing looks bad.  Bought soldering iron and tools set. Bought HDMI to mini port display x 3. One not working anymore and that’s why I bought another 2 (UGREEN $7.48 and IVANKY) because the working laptop needed it to display on another monitor. Bought a portable monito...

hmmmm

Keyboard warrior's keyboard checked. Another Jean checked. It is to make up for the pants that I spoiled two days ago. Just when I arrived at the office, I sat on a chair whereby the surface is grid-like and the  buttoned-up fake pocket button on the right side got plucked off leaving a hole a bit on the upper side of the bum. There is a flap that was together with the button. It just covers the hole a bit. I am not sure if the slit that the button goes through was big enough to see through. I tried to ensure my shirt was over the hole though at least to cover while I was not seated. It wasn't a good time. I was wondering should I just walk off to buy another pants but decided not to because we were busy. That went on for the rest of the day. A day to remember. The pants lasted 10 years. I bought it during my first job at 2011. Anyway, it was a bit tight around the waist so shouldn't have worn it at all. Although I am a bit heavier, my waist is a bit off only. I wonder if m...
