新年了

It's another chinese new year. This time round, usually we would go back to Brunei and Miri but it wasn't the case this year because of C-19. I think there were twice I never celebrated at home. Once was when I was studying in TARC. Another was when I was studying at NTU. I was staying in a hostel at TARC and I guess I was the only one in the whole hostel who never go back. The quietness was a bit scary and I did wonder how I got through it. Everyone go back for cny. I was trying to save the flight money so I chose not to go home. It used to be expensive to fly back. Flight was like only a few times in a week. That's my bravest decision I guess.

While studying at NTU, holiday I can work full time although I was doing part time. Why not use the time to earn more. Aunty did brought me along to celebrate new year so I wasn't alone this time. Although I am someone who totally enjoy solitude, it is still not that good to celebrate cny along or rejected another goodwill. I would say, for all that I have, it's a grace.

Last year, I met a lot of good people and different kinds of people along the way. I took up two courses that changed my life and way of thinking. I looked back, everything has a meaning. For what I have achieved, it wasn't all from me but everyone who gave a hand along the way. Their kindness and support, I felt was the greatest thing I can ever received. Changing career or not, I felt a bit stressful. People don't see me, they see the labels that I have. If I don't have all that, what would I be. There were no smooth sailing. 

For this new job that I have, I am thankful for my wonderful colleagues who made me feel I am not alone even when I am. I guess certain things that I have, I am just lucky to have them. I don't really deserve it. Everything is team effort. Sometimes, I don't know how to embrace it. I am just lucky because of all the chances given to me. For that, I am thankful no matter how terrible things have gone or can get. Thank you everyone. Thank God too. Everytime I think I will never get through, He calmed my mind and these opportunities were somewhat not use to be there but somehow it was there when I think I hit a dead end. I wonder God, what was your will to me. I wished I have all the strength to carry myself and others through but at times, i felt bad when i can't even get myself through. I just hope I don't bring everyone down. 

May this year be a year of harvest and change. May it be filled with blessings, peace and harmony. I prayed for everyone's safety and health. 请你们都好好的。

我不会把心里话都说出来。久了就习惯了。最近一直想着怎么把事情做好。我觉得我好像还是做的不够好。之外,我想了很多其他的事。如果你在面临死亡的到来,你会做些什么。有些人有时间准备,有些人就突然的离开。我想我的路会走到那一个尽头。我不想要留恋这世界。我怕如果我太享受,得到的太多,我会很舍不得。现在这样很好。我没有在怕。我只是想怎么样才不会那么可怕。毕竟我是胆小鬼虽然有的时候很大胆,其实不是,就是自己神经大条不小心的大胆。

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.

Funny Things

 Scam has definitely affect everyone daily like never before. When my cousin got my number and wants to connect, she put a photo on whatsapp’s profile photo and also sent me her picture to verify she wasn’t a scammer. The fact is that scammers did that too. In fact the more professional the photo was, the more likely it is a scam. When I applied a job, I will also worry it is a scam. Especially no email and I cannot find much on the internet. The only thing that makes the interview sounded right was the interview ways of speaking and a more lifelike profile picture. I chose to believe it and if it hadn’t post on mycareersfuture, I wouldn’t have believe the job was legal when email has problem. I thought email was always the sign of legitimate business or scam. In 2024, anyone can doubt now. I can receive a legitimate email or message that was scam and also non-legitimate as not scam… How inconvenient so I treated all as a scam. Better safe than sorry. Most people fell to the scam i...
