New things for mum

 I saw other people mum got big tv and things that are new. Towards my mum is like nothing. 

My mum was using a MacBook air that was like 10+ years old. Before I moved to Sg, she already had it. How she had it. My younger brother bought it with “hard-earned” money by giving tuition to 1 student at 60 dollars per month and duration for about a few months.  He dropped the laptop and how he did that, I am not sure. The macbook with a very visible bent on one corner is still usable but ugly. He “gave” it to mum and bought another one. 

Recently when I was back home for a month, her adapter can no longer charge the macbook. She said after repair or software update at some shop because she doesn’t know how to update it, thereafter, it wouldn’t start up. Two possibilities, the charging port in the macbook is already broken. The adapter no longer works. There was also a new bent to the macbook. I think dropped as well. 

Anyway, will you spend another 92 dollars on a adapter (the old usb) (after discount on shopee) which will soon be EOL because the trend is replacing it all to USB C and that the laptop which is outdated or not supported anymore and problematic OR buy a new one? If we buy the 92 dollars adapter and turned out the laptop is not working, the adapter being the old charging usb type, is considered a loss. If you buy a new one, the adapter also not usable. In addition to the cost of buying a new gadget. 

Conclusion, I also don’t see why mum has to use broken stuffs while all her children and grandchildren were using new ones. If buying thing is not a crime, my mum buying is definitely not. Some more, she is 73. Retirement age passed long long time ago. Right now, everyone should be buying her things. Instead of buying few thousands macbook, my older brother bought her a 400++ iPad that was on sale. Best of both world. It would be working and new. Something she would use and not left over by somebody after it is broken. If you think it is not reasonable, I think you don’t deserve anything else in life. Don’t act like all righteous when you are not truly one. It was only after this, that probably all those thing before was just a facade. I don’t attack but I do think if you can do it, why not others. Don’t tell me you haven’t done a single thing like those things u mentioned in life about what others should not do. All in all, my intention is to solve the problem and not getting eyed on for helping out. Still, the ones sitting there were my mum and dad. If you don’t want the problem to be resolved almost just like the courtcase in telling whose wrong or right, then don’t. The way in doing so will just incurred more cost than not doing so. I see what money can make people do. Probably that’s why everything is falling apart. Everyone having poor health and poor mentality. Let’s separate everything so no one has to suffer. Probably we are doing it all wrong. Why my dad can get trapped in an unreasonable courtcase for 13-14 years by selling one shophouse? Why he has been sick for the past 3-4 years or maybe longer? Why his business is slowing weeded by people? That he is still working while he passed the age of retirement by 20 years? What has been happening that I hoped I could have done better with my previous choice of coming to sg. Probably helped him settled his stuff so he won’t get cheated again and again by the same lawyer. Brought him to see a specialist for his skin condition or hip surgery. Just 3 things but enough to drain everything away. Weak bonds I guess. Any of those, I don’t think anyone is accountable for it. Things happened. If you want to let them held the responsibility to gain something, even if there is no God, how will people see each other is enough to take away everything. Money is still the root of all evil. Right now, I am more worried about what people would do in times of need. Why mum and dad got into this situation? I guess mainly lucks. Why? After all the success in life from being able to buy lands and suddenly those days were gone. Something at how we managed things. There was a sinkhole at home?

I just want to see things as it was. Not exaggerating or having other thoughts in mind. My parents health was still the most important.

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...
