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 monitor for $189.88 and a touch screen portable monitor for about $433 (almost buy the overpriced Asus Zen at 700). Did my research on the whatever specs that I forgot now. The specs weren’t a big difference to be doubled in price. I decided to buy Viewsonic in the end. It had a flap for standing vertically which Zen didn’t have. I have been bringing it with me to mostly onsite which I don’t have to go that often now. After I bought them… The working laptop was also not in use that much since for new things, cause I cannot use it without getting stuck… I can never open more than 2 Visual Studio and 1 Google Chrome. If I opened a Microsoft Word or Excel, be prepared to crash. That is why I bought my $2499 Legion 5 laptop. That is where all my money goes but saving me a lot of time to rest, it is all worth it. There is no point in saving 1k if it cannot last, unreliable and doesn’t work well. It saved you time to do something more worthwhile. 


And so there will be a need of USB Hub. The Legion 5 has lots of them but not going to cover all the hardwares I needed to connect. I have my own Keyboards and Mouse which each required one as well. Good thing I have HP and Targus USB Hubs. One used at home and another at the office. HP really worth the price for quality. Most of all, I guess is the safety of using them. Gives me the piece of mind and hopes their reliability don’t bailed.


I felt like I have achieved something from buying all these. If only my research would stay in my mind. I forgot all about it after buying. hehehe. I have RAM instead of Hard Drive for my brain. 


Nintendo switch, Monitor, Mechanical Keyboards, Mouse and so on… Good study. Now I am trying to figure out which Acoustic Guitar to buy. I used to think they are all the same and not until I go for an online course and while trying to compare between two guitar that I wanted to buy and realised, they could be very different. Maybe this one I really need to go to the shop so that I can listen to the sound. I don’t need it to be aesthetic (if they have that is something extra) but definitely, the sound and note it makes I truly cared about. The sounds make the playing all the more addictive and soothing.

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.
