要五毛给一块

I just remember an instance while queuing at 7-11. The queue was long. While nearing the cashier, a guy entered through the door and cut in front of me. Well, I did't say anything. Not sure if he was crazy but I definitely won't win if I have to fight him. Sometimes, I do think I might win but I am tired to handle these things. Just let it be. The funny thing was, he asked the cashier lots of question and eventually pay for the thing he bought. When the cashier finds him his change, he said he gave him new notes, so he wants new coins. ? all over our heads. That's what I would do when I was a kid but I always wanted the new coins no matter what notes I gave. If I went to the shop, I will definitely use the old coin first but that's before I learnt coin collection. Funny to see this on a full grown man. He went off and while the cashier was scanning all my items, the guy came back and said just now he gave him 2 ten dollars. The thing was less than ten dollars. The cashier gave him the ten dollar from the counter top. Eh? This part I don't understand... Well, it is an interesting events. The guy makes me think of the old lady who give 1 dollar when asked for 50 cents song. I wonder why? It is right if you need a change? hahaha. The guy gave 20 when needed 10... Same story or different. People changed. There used to be a young guy who came to our shop very often to buy wood glue. The Kangaroo one. It costed about 2.50 each. I thought he might needed a lot for projects until Mum told me not to sell him. She said they smelled it like drugs addict... That's what I don't understand. I didn't like the smell of the glue and why would someone like to smell it. Even until now I still don't understand. Hm... Well, I was wondering if addicted to coffee was somehow similar to that. Sometimes, you don't have to understand people. You just walked away. Then, you met the same one down the path... Then another. Wondering when will you meet someone who thought the same as you. Same minds. Same interest probably. You just don't. It gets harder and harder into this world of concrete. Everything was covered by walls. That you no longer play hide and seek with friends. All the talks became rather hm... well not adult, not kids, not wise, not dumb... I don't know where it belonged but everything just blurt out on their own. But if you don't, it became creepy. Being the one who viewed the view, listened to the conversation of the people who sat beside you while on the train, it felt different. hm. They just chat about food, what they eat and don't eat. I was sitting there, hmm, I don't eat that too, and yay but well, not thinking out loud. Sometimes, having the fun of thinking how a conversation would end or what the conversation is all about. Yet, I know I shouldn't interact with strangers else, they thought I am crazy. In my mind, I was thinking what a waste, we have the same minds... the conversation died off and eventually everyone alight as if nothing has happened, going their normal way. That everyone has their own world and they don't share a single thing. I wonder what shall people talk about. Most of the times, complain. Complain. Complain. Is that a better use of our time? Does it make use feel better? Sometimes, it does but sometimes, it's tiring. We are all so close together but worlds apart. No one will ever learn.

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...
