Software Engineer: Give you a cookie.


Me: I have no memory. Give me a cookie.


Kid: I have memory.

Parent: Give you a cookie.

Kid: *forgets everything.


Went downstairs to buy chicken rice and found out from the electronic bulletin that truck driver now has a salary of 4.7k. Another is a class 3 driver at 5k/month. So now what do parents tell their kids to study hard? If you don’t study hard, you will be a truck driver, dishwasher, wash toilet and whatever they could think of. Actually the pay now for all these are comparable to those who have studied hard. Not that bad wah. Now part time packing staff can earn 12/hr. Delivery driver 25/hr. 

Anyway not a bad thing but at least people are finally treating these people nicely and gives them what they deserve when it is all hardwork. 


I pitied the delivery guy because I think he has to send to my place which is furthest away from the lift and at the corner. Now, I think he should pity me more. Poor Engineer. Anyway, Engineers were never a high pay job long long time ago. Only recently, it has increased but well, not as much as the rest. 


Below 30, it is all about ambition, hard-headed, interest. Above 30, actually just want money. Interest maybe stands 30% or undetected.


You ask a business, do they build on money or passion? If a business is not making money, no matter what the passion was, it has to cease. There are business that start from passion though but they first have to have some gold before starting. 


If I only have myself probably, all I will look at is passion and interest. Driving truck can be fun but I worry my driving skills. I used to want to try driving my dad’s lorry but well, ahem. Well, never. Dream on. But wow. so kids, it is ok if you drive truck. They are perfectly legal and the things that u get were their hardwork.

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...
