Lawas

 We went to Lawas today. Dad wanted to see his lands which he bought in the 80s and before I was born. He hadn’t been there since then. The address wasn’t even on Map yet. They went there by memory.  A hill, a big tree and somewhere near the stadium… hahaha. That’s how they find it. I became a trusted driver for being known to lost my way. I followed Map, they said I go the longer way. I followed theirs they said they forget. Or anyway will do… Yet, we made it. The view was really nice.

Mum asked what is the name of the new bridge between Muara and Temburong? Dad said it is something called Raya at the back. He said it was on the LED panel. He asked us to read it everytime we passed by. It says something like Berhati-hati di Jalan Raya…. Jalan Raya… Hahahahaha

Dad asked mum not to tell me what to do while driving. He will stop her from telling me what to do. Later on, when he saw green traffic light, he told me to speed up. He saw a car driving real fast in front of us, he asked me to chase after that car and stay about 20-30 ft away. The car was right in front against us while I was turning in, he asked me to turn in fast… hm… 

While looking for a restaurant to eat, Dad wanted to go to a restaurant called 88 something. Then Mum wanted to go to another bigger one but another building a block away. Most restaurants were close. In the end, we went to the one with a parking space available which is Dad’s. Mum went to the toilet but we have to order things to eat. Me and Dad ordered things as the owner introduced. Fried noodle with chicken, Seaweed soup, Mixed veges and Ginger Onion Chicken. I think mostly what we will like. I then went into the kitchen then Mum was angry with Dad about something and is actually ordering food without asking her. Dad quickly said I ordered it. Hahahaha. He got away. He was already ordering while I helped him to take his things from the car. If I hadn’t stopped him, he would order a lot of other things. Maybe should stop him for now while he is still recovering. 

Anyway, in the end we couldn’t find the lands. The last time they went, it seemed like they found it. Mum explained the same thing like my Eldest Brother. Mum explained how the place is like from our map while we were there. When we were back, Eldest Brother explained the same way. I guess I never got that gene. 

Well, there are some very beautiful house. Some houses felt homely but not beautiful. Some were strange. Saw a grass shack. Beach and jetty. Temburong bridge. Hm.

Mum lost her keys again.

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...
