Tradition

 Tradition.


The IT Crowd was actually a fun to watch. Why didn’t I know about this show before. The main theme of the first few episodes. Have you restart your machine? Is the switch on? hahaha That was my star questions! A good start of me being in IT roles. Back then there was not many handphones around. Email worked faster than a telephone call to put out a fire. When I pictured these things back then, sounds kind of familiar. But, back then, we did memorise the phone number of every single person that we know. If not, they are just a phone book away. All these had gone away when we started using handphone. I was in the Uni and needs my somebody to pick me up. I hadn’t have my driving license yet. My phone battery died. Charger at home. Nokia handphone… Most helpless thing on earth and there were nobody too. Quite late in the evening after a project meet up. I went to the cafeteria and saw the public phone. Need coins. Finally gathered enough, but I don’t remember the hp number and how to call. 


I forgot what happened afterwards. I am not sure if I walked home, managed to guess the phone number by memory recalling, someone came to pick me up anyway…


I remembered the events but not what happened after. Memories. They are slowly going away. 


Abbreviations beyond abbreviations were common when we tried to send a message. Sometimes, I am not willing to do so but as phone bill getting more and more expensive and your text which can be sent in one was sent out in 3. Triple the price. Those were the college days.

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.

Funny Things

 Scam has definitely affect everyone daily like never before. When my cousin got my number and wants to connect, she put a photo on whatsapp’s profile photo and also sent me her picture to verify she wasn’t a scammer. The fact is that scammers did that too. In fact the more professional the photo was, the more likely it is a scam. When I applied a job, I will also worry it is a scam. Especially no email and I cannot find much on the internet. The only thing that makes the interview sounded right was the interview ways of speaking and a more lifelike profile picture. I chose to believe it and if it hadn’t post on mycareersfuture, I wouldn’t have believe the job was legal when email has problem. I thought email was always the sign of legitimate business or scam. In 2024, anyone can doubt now. I can receive a legitimate email or message that was scam and also non-legitimate as not scam… How inconvenient so I treated all as a scam. Better safe than sorry. Most people fell to the scam i...
