心跳好快

I dropped my phone yesterday. It happened early in the morning, when I was already nearby office. Fortunate enough, I can still see the bottom 10% and the side 5% of the screen that allowed me to scroll the messages so I can see it at the bottom. The card was with me so my colleagues might not be able to get into the office without any communication. I used that to try to communicate with my colleague who is bright enough to get my non-completed message and mostly, making no sense. He sort of get it that my phone something went wrong. 

Having to share one card for everyone is a bit waste of time but for security issues we had to stick to that. I have to constantly see my phone and see if anyone needs to come up. It's a bit of a distraction. Messages came in every few seconds to every few minutes. That's what this generation has to face. You look at your phone 100% of the time at this rate and I wonder how did everyone get their job done while having to see their messages from all over the world. It is giving 100% convenience and also not so. This is what I have always been furious about. If not the phone, then the email. I do believe the card is a great curse. There is a saying if you think it, then it will happen, so I was trying to get that off my mind. 😐 

I was looking at the iPhone X on my table that morning before going off and was wondering if I should bring it along so I can set it up. No battery as I didn't charge it. I have a hard time switching to it the previous weekend. Spent a few hours setting things up and Google won't let me sign in so I gave up as it was late, I got clothes to iron and works to do. Glad I never did, otherwise, it will be the phone breaking then. I got through the day without handphone but was lucky enough to be able to use my work laptop to see some messages but it was in incognito mode. And of all the buttons, I accidentally closed it. I do believed in cursed item. Every time, I got the card, something happened. XD Here I go.

I bought iPhone 12 Purple. 😄 My heart was beating fast but I managed to press the button and get it. I bought the plug also since I never had one. I used the cable that I used to charge Magic Mouse. First ever iPhone in my life apart from iPhone X. I was suppose to play with it only, never expect to use it at all. I got it from my brother and I just want to know what it was up to that people looked so into it. I get to feel Android and iPhone at the same time. Another reason for the iPhone X, it was the most horrible part of my life, I might as well make it memorable. 

RIP Pixel 4a. Pixel 2 XL still kicking but the OS no longer has update since 2020 October. It gets a bit slow when I use it but most apps still working. It is the only phone that is connected to Weibo for now. I deleted the ones in Pixel 4a and I forgot my password. Weibo thing and WeChat thing, their login is super unusable at certain time. WeChat improved over time but still a bit worrying. As the screen for Pixel 2a is unusable and it degraded very fast after the fall. After lunch, the screen totally black out and not responsive. I lost all Whatsapp messages. The last backup that I had was 17th April.

In battery life, Pixel 2 XL and Sony X Compact were best. Sony X Compact, it has been 5 years and now, the battery still working. I am using it for Clash of Clans and some other thing. The phone screen was on most of the time. It still has a day full battery life. Same for Pixel 2 XL (4 years old) which were used for the same thing and still has a day full battery. Most of the time I reached home, I still have 50% battery life.


Left to right, Top to Bottom
Nokia, Samsung, Samsung Note (1st gen), Sony T2 Ultra, Sony Xperia Z5,
Samsung A5,  Sony X Compact, Google Pixel 4a, Google Pixel 2XL.

I mixed up the order. It was 2XL first, and then 4a. Each tells a different story. Two of them, fell into the toilet bowl many times. One, I have replaced the screen by myself and it remains broken. One, broke again within a few days time after the fix at the shop. It weren't that cheap and they have managed to leave scratches on the button. Three, after all the drops, never break and never had any screen replacement (Samsung Note, Sony X Compact and Pixel 2 XL). My life revolved around Nokia, Samsung, Sony and Google. Nokia for it's strength and no choice. Samsung for it's creativity. Sony for the resilience (almost similar to Nokia). Google is both add together. I have nothing to say for iPhone. I think I have Android instilled in me. iPad (borrowed from my sis) drove me crazy before just by trying to display some lecture notes. I spent one hour trying to get it to load the document but nope it didn't. In the end, I just use my Samsung note to view the notes.




Now doing an iPhone "lesson" hehehe. A new journey after the MacBook and then Magic Mouse. Now, time for iPhone. I hope when they say drop improvement, it was meant for me. Purple used to be my favourite color but it hadn't been for a few years. I changed to liking blue and green. Most of the time, I am fair, I love all colors because without any one of which, the world is one color less. Everyone should be judge like this. They should be judge like an individual and not by colors or none at all. We were taught to criticize, debate and all but failed to teach self-reflection. 

There isn't just one education method and not just one was right. Everyone is different and therefore their needs were different. You can't say the method was wrong but you can say wrong application. Every child required different education or guidance based on their condition. You can't tell a child there is only one way to live in this world that is learning to be like everyone else. Being different is wrong, being poor is wrong, being slow is wrong and even being a person from another race is wrong... Who are we to judge each other when all pretty well done the same thing. The world sometimes need it. There are people who dared to be different but there are many more who don't. Look at the people who dare to. What they have created for the world and also destroyed.

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.
