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...

hmmmm

Keyboard warrior's keyboard checked. Another Jean checked. It is to make up for the pants that I spoiled two days ago. Just when I arrived at the office, I sat on a chair whereby the surface is grid-like and the  buttoned-up fake pocket button on the right side got plucked off leaving a hole a bit on the upper side of the bum. There is a flap that was together with the button. It just covers the hole a bit. I am not sure if the slit that the button goes through was big enough to see through. I tried to ensure my shirt was over the hole though at least to cover while I was not seated. It wasn't a good time. I was wondering should I just walk off to buy another pants but decided not to because we were busy. That went on for the rest of the day. A day to remember. The pants lasted 10 years. I bought it during my first job at 2011. Anyway, it was a bit tight around the waist so shouldn't have worn it at all. Although I am a bit heavier, my waist is a bit off only. I wonder if m...
