financial advisor

 A lot of financial advisor finds me now. I wonder what financial advice I need though. The solution is not to spend? If I really want to spend, then I have to spend ma… If I don’t want to spend, then I will save. Correct?


Every time I told myself to stop work at 11am and don’t go back the old road. Every time I checked my time after I get into the stealth zone which is easily achieved at night, It’s past 12 or 1… Since I missed the time, I just continued till I achieved some completion. I just did what I don’t usually did by splitting function into smaller functions… Hope that’s clear but I put myself in a trap. For me to change something, I have to go to different functions. I missed out some.


As always, 计划赶不上变化。变化赶不上老板的一句话。以前的同事说的。Just nice, before that, my code flows in one function. The changes I had was pretty minimal without affecting other function. And also other function wasn’t using it too so far the changes don’t draw my blood and tears. Addition is always fast. The longest time I spent was actually validation and test of code.


I think software engineers usually spent 1 % of the time to add a function or feature but 99% of the time to add validation and test the validation. Like I have 100 minutes to add a Name TextBox. I spent probably just 1 minute to add textbox function. I only need to copy previous if I have then paste. Change name. Done. The rest of the 99 minutes, Ensuring the data inside that textbox is valid, format is correct, filter is correct, if error catch, abnormal catch, data load and submit are correct… structures.. ui.. so on. The validation is the most troublesome because not all can be achieved. Therefore I have to find leeways to do it. Then comes the test. Every new validation, I need to test if it truly validates… Retest with every changes… 


Maybe software dev and product eng is different. well, imagine last time I did battery, all went straight to production before testing. I die you die. Whatever. First job as a Software Engineer… That’s the challenge that I had. I read in linkedin. That’s a dare.

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.
