Successful Surgery









 My Pixel 2 XL have been with me for quite some times.  3 - 4 years? Since 2018 June 7th. Battery life has been ok. Always 50% left after a day usage. One day usage ok. I have dropped it quite a lot though. The screen has dead pixel on two edges. Then the top got lines. I saw shopee selling the Digitizer at about 100++ so I bought it. Then the battery is about 20++! My phone was originally 1k+ so it seems fine with the proportion to replace. I still use it to access what iPhone cannot :) 4a was too expensive to replace although I bought it at 599. The digitizer like 200-300++. Battery also… So I decided to wait… I still haven’t transfer the file inside so I will keep it until the price reduced. Hopefully they are.



After fixing this. Sony Xperia Z5 was really level 100. It is super hard to disassemble and assemble. The parts were expensive. Anyway, it wasn’t only the digitizer that was spoilt. I think the motherboard spoilt for Z5. It was still operational but lots of glitches. So a waste. My fault because I dropped it a few times and the last fall was because I let someone out of a bus queue at Woodlands, I was using a wired earphone connected to the Phone. The person wanted to get out of the line while I was going in. The metal barrier caught my earphone line and my phone flung out of my pocket and dropped onto the concrete floor with a slam that cracked its metallic shell… From then on, I seldom use the wired earphone that needs to connect to the phone. My heart still ache.

Amount

 The amount I spent on learning before applying actually costed me more money until I do enough work. Still learning process is still needed even while working.  Doing things subconsciously can make the easiest problem complicated. Could be your old habits or subconscious typing or the auto correction? hm.. This one is more like my habit. It is a hard to catch error when we did like that. I was thinking what goes wrong and no matter what I did, it would not return my desired results. Turned the code that I wrote previously and just a line only which I overlooked while checking, was blocking the rest of the changes… Dangerous code is the counter code that you wrote to right a wrong or blocking the wrong from working. That’s normally a temporary solution but the solution turned out to be preventing me doing other works… sigh… 😮‍💨  Today’s a lucky day and I found it while doing another part… so it is good not to always focus on one problem. The other problem could be the c...

Tools and Work

 Things I bought for work. Another addition of $18.60 to the lost count of things that I bought for work. USB C to HDMI adapter has ARRIVED. Previously, I bought a hoco. and it is working fine still but too bad Shopee and Lazada don’t have them. I bought UGREEN then. I am attracted to name with colours on it. Hehe. Need one at the office so that I have less thing to carry back and fro of home. I bought another ergonomic mouse. My hand could go numb from using the mouse. Actually I have hand numb issue since young. Writing makes my hand numb. Not sure if that is normal but I do practice. I am not entirely sure if that is right hand only. When I used my left, I can write for a long long time even though the hand writing looks bad.  Bought soldering iron and tools set. Bought HDMI to mini port display x 3. One not working anymore and that’s why I bought another 2 (UGREEN $7.48 and IVANKY) because the working laptop needed it to display on another monitor. Bought a portable monito...

Back from a trip

 Was in Brunei for 10 days. The hot sun and eating out were part of my daily routine. After eating breakfast, we went home. After a while, we go for lunch. Then back home again, we go for dinner. It felt like time passed fast in Brunei. I am also tired even though I don’t do much work. I gave my Dad RM2.5K. My dad gave RM4.7K to my brother to pay for my Dad and sister house loan. The house in jb like still half way to go. Felt like everytime I gave my Dad money, it was given to that.  Dad is 1 year shy from 80. Still working. He has been in Brunei since 1970s. There bounds to be people he knew everywhere we went. He stayed in each district for some times in the past before settling in our current house. He has nothing when he reached Brunei. Only a motorbike and a few hundreds dollars. He did odd jobs, and only like last week I knew he has two gf before my mum. We went to Sungai Liang for his birthday for breakfast. It was an old road side restaurant which was there since he f...
