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.

Cuts

 I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct.  I also think ...

Bank

 A bank asked me to apply for their job. I was a bit skeptical whether it was scam. After a few conversations, it seemed legit. They needed my updated resume. I didn’t have. Go back to my old canva, then dragged out the old one. I realised I have a Word document ones after I sent the pdf ones. I should have just used the Word document because it was the latest. Anyway, I don’t have finance background so I might not get it. Based on their requirements, I think there are lots of things I have not yet explored. However, if I can finish my task earlier, maybe I can go for a test or two to see what are the skills that I lacked of. I felt a bit off because I just kept on doing uwp… I also needed to back up against my current job because I felt insecure about it, based on the recent months I was there. I am not sure if they want me there just to solve few issues then once solved then don’t need me anymore. Because every moment I was there, I felt a bit like it. They are also spending quit...

Peculiar

 Not sure how I should feel. Good or bad. Mum used to be very good with tech. Well, yesterday, have spent two hours over the phone just to help her log in to my account. In the end, she only managed to download and update her Netflix app on her iPad. iPad actually a bit different from Android so she has lots of difficulty linking App Store is equivalent to Google Play… When I said search, she literally search by her eyes… I cannot help but laugh at myself. Programmer and code did the same. I am not around so I can only do these for her. Sigh… Should have gave her a tutorial during CNY…  My screen is back… The touch screen I bought previously so that it is easier for me to do work. The pc that I bought previously is a good investment in the end. Thank God or the manufacturer that both working fine so far.
