Women

 



When I first use Shopee long long time ago, do you know they didn’t split by category? Also, if you search something, it must be the exact wording else it wouldn’t match. Now, still there is problem sometimes but they actually made a very big progress during these two years. However the categories still not so right. hehe. That’s what I found. 

Remember a time when I brought books to their competition instead of using google two to three years back. Without any python background too. They were doing I guess to find someone who can solve their categories problem. Only 1-2 hrs given for each session to come up with the solution. I only managed to make the python and excel sheet work but never managed to solve though.  eh. 2 hrs 1st prize is a few thousands dollar. There were two different problems but I forgotten about the other one. It is a good experience though. Although not many people solved it within that few hours, but some were pretty close. Out of a hundred people split into groups, only a few groups managed to do it. My team I went with a person who I didn’t know until the day of the competition. The other one MIA. We just grouped ourselves out of facebook 🙄 all no background with python. The other member was late also. She was an electrical engineer and 1 year older than me. I was a mechanical engineer. None of us used python at all. I did read the book on how to use python and installed it before the competition and how to operate. Our friend, didn’t have python installed. I sweat. To me, she seemed to want to enjoy the free gift though. She was very enlightened with that. Although, I brought the same mind to see how things go as a programmer but at least I should try too apart from sight seeing. I managed to at least manipulate the Excel sheet. All the time were used to make it work before we can process the data. I managed to get 1% of the data correct though. Surprisingly. I think one thing software engineer needs to know why it works and why it wouldn’t. We both just quit our jobs too. That’s why got the time. What a coincidence but we never connect afterwards. The oldest was 50+. The youngest was 8. That’s the range. Maybe I should join more so that I am always working on data structure and to improve on that. Not why a hardware doesn’t work. Or how to make a hardware work which is pretty much the job of the person who makes the hardware.

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.
