Sewing

 Second day without touching my laptop… I felt strange and guilty… Well, I have learnt how to hem my jeans. Most of the jeans were too long cos I bought them online. If buy at the shop, can ask them to hem… Weekend just passed and I spent one day clearing stuff and another day to hem the jeans. Two jeans… planned 5 jeans. I have never hem a jean before. First one I almost cut to knee length. Lucky thing Aunty came into the room and I asked her… a totally none related thing but she reminded me of something of what not to do. She done it differently from Youtube. Youtube just fold and saw the folded part together. She saved me from killing the jean… She said she once taught someone and she really cut off without considering the folded hem… I almost did too and what’s worst, I doubled the length I need to cut. I fold to where I want. Instead of cutting the bottom, I want to cut the top… crazy…

After a while I realised, I need to consider the hem and not keeping the original. First Jean nicely done. 2nd one based on first but because I was over confident, I considered less. I know where to fold and where to cut… I accidentally cut the one that was underneath a bit which was the one I need to keep… Argh… Well I tried to repair. If only I can use the sewing machine to draw. The third one have to wait till tmr cos my sis is sleeping. Then I will be back to do the app even though I applied for leaves… Actually, on leave or not or weekend or not, what is the difference…

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...
