Weird day

A traffic police was paying for his things. Right then, a family of three came in and queue behind the police. The kid saw the police and exclaimed to his parents, "Look! America Police!". So cute. Nope, the are Singapore Police. The police did look around to look at the kid but still in a friendly face. The kid was like 4 - 5 years old. Can't tell. Some kids were taller and some were shorter. I go by average.
Another family was there at the next counter paying their stuff. Then I heard a kid telling the cashier next to me, "Thank you, bye bye!". Hehehe. Good kid.
While a lady was paying at my counter, her kid saw the knitted flower on the counter beside me. He took one and ask how much was it. He then hold it dearly and said he wanted it and liked it. He was like 7-8 years old I guess. I guess I weren't young to like that hahaha because my mum can make it. My mum can knit a bag with handle or as desk mat with patterns. hm.. The kid was sweet though to like such things.
Good parenting I guess. The mum just asked him to put it back then after paying for the fuel, the kid just put it back and followed her. Haha. No tantrum, no screaming at the top of the lungs, and it is as if nothing has ever happened. Same to the other kids who put things back after the parents said no. They will come trotting with chocolates, candy, chips and etc to the counter and ask their parents to buy. The Dad usually said no. Hahaha. Not all though, some took and ask his kids if they wanted it. Some bought one to shut the kid up. hehehehe.
Most of the time, I cannot see the kids because their height is well below the counter's height.
Yesterday's night after work, I went to McDonalds. I am hungry for it and the next day, I don't have work. As I got up the escalator, I saw a caucasian kid sat on the floor with flushed face. About four police were around him. The floor was a mess. Not sure what happened. Looked like the kid threw up there and/or caused a scene. McDonald's and other foods were scattered. Not sure if that belonged to the police or the kids. I heard the kid shouted before getting up to the level but stopped as I walked by along with a group of people who stood by watching what's happening. Two of the polices were brushing something off their pants as if something was thrown at them. I think to better stay out of trouble. The kid was like 12 - 14 years old. Teenager or could be younger. Caucasians are usually taller. Could he be drunk too. Else, what explained such behaviour?? hm
I ordered via mobile app and sat there waiting for like 15 minutes. My food came. As I prepare to eat, I heard, "Let me go! Let me go!". I turned around the kid was escorted by two police officer cuffed. He kept on saying, "Let me go!" while they walked down the hallway. Another two police officers were walking in front of them. First time, I saw these! I think he attacked the police as well.
I quickly finished my stuff and went home. I have ordered Mother's day cake before going to work. Today I went to collect the cake and they gave me a pink rose. Great! I went home and wait for Aunty and Uncle to come home. Put the mask I bought from Sephora on the table nicely. Earlier on I was buying face mask... She asked me to buy and I thought she wanted those. In the end, it was facial mask... hehe. While waiting, I was thinking to get my old laptop an update. The HP spectre x360 got a pen which worked like last month, didn't work now when I wanted to use it.... SAD. I thought if that could be due to Windows 11 update since it only happened after that. I just changed the battery like few months ago. The last battery lasted a few years. I looked for the other battery that I bought along with this battery. There were two in a packet. I only needed one. After I changed to the spare battery, it still didn't work. Whatever that is, I ended up uninstalling drivers and reinstalling. Restarting and updating. Googled everywhere. Few hours gone and they were back. I have a small celebration and we, only 3 people, finished the 6 inches cake. hehehehe... We never had lunch though. First time finishing a cake in a go. It was a Mango Pineapple cake. It tasted better than I think. The ones that look good normally disappointed me a bit.
I planned to go Botanical Garden with them in the evening but then the laptop still not fixed. It just doesn't work, and I was questioning myself why? No obvious answers from HP themselves even though there are people asking the same question. I changed the pen tip too. It didn't work. How do it know it is a driver's issue, OS incompatibility issue, digitizer's issue, or the pen itself no longer works. OR it could be the battery too. The last one I will know after I bought the battery. What if it was everything else and the battery will go to waste if I bought them. It always come in pair and if nothing else worked with a 4As' battery. How to tell it was battery issue without buying a new one. It then dawned on me, if my new battery was actually faulty as well, it wouldn't work too. I have been too focus on fixing it that I felt stupid. I have a multimeter to begin with. Ashamed that I have been measuring batteries' voltage for my last job more than the meals I had in life. I don't also have one multimeter at home. I have two.... I took one out and my knowledge still a bit rusty. The one at work was already set up for measurement and much better. Home one, I need to set up myself. Well, somehow, I remembered and with a bit of the Youtube help, I managed to get the voltage of the battery. FLAT. The new battery was FLAT! It was new... but unused for like few months. Guess what you get is what you paid for. I used the other multimeter to confirm. The cheaper multimeter this time give more accurate results though. 1.5V gave me 1.65V. The more expensive one somehow ranged from 1.6++ to 4.0++ for a perfectly new 2As battery. Both gave below 1V for the battery which I considered faulty after measurement. Maybe the weather or shelf life over. Shorted or it runs out. Sigh... Waste time. Now need to waste money. Should I get a rechargeable ones or one without....

War and Job

 现在哪里都要打仗了。是不是应该更要花时间找更稳定的工作。其实我的工作才是最没有保障的。应为我还不算这个公司的员工。然后还发现别的事。有问题到最后,我会先被赶走吧。那我现在更应该要找工作吧。不然等到仗都开始打了,我才找就太迟了。。。 Don’t deal with people with hidden agenda. Motto of life.

No title

有些事就只能是遗憾。这是一堂课。最难的一堂课。我想我唯一办到的就是当了工程师。剩下的就只能是遗憾。如果少了这一点我想那我就完全是个遗憾。我想走到这一步,并不是我自己一个人能走的。它不是天上掉下来的。是我在井里时看到别人丢给我的一条绳子。我就抓住了它。好久好久。有的时候好想放开却又不放。松了又紧握着。一层一层的用力爬。遇到各种各样的问题,我一直找答案。以前大人都说难题放一边,要先做简单的题目。这样可以拿一些分数。可是我不知道为什么我说不听。我喜欢从第一题做到最后。当我有一题不会做的时候我会很难受。放不开的一直在那题绕着死都不放。如果在考试结束了我还做不到,这个关我过不了。会一直留在心里。非常难受。很难受。 如果我可以在结束前想到答案,就算我好多题都没有答,那一天我还是会很开心的。应为我解决了一个难题。成就感比及格更重要。当然我妈的藤编是躲不过的。我想我是自讨苦吃。长大了我就会在乎分数。很不愿意的都先答我会的。。。虽然是这么做了,可是我很痛苦。。。有时候会习惯的一直先解决觉得比较难的问题。然后一堆很快可以解决的却放一边。。。瓶颈在哪里我就会在哪里。拿着罐头开,死命的敲。就算所有的小事都解决了,这个瓶颈还是过不了。尽然过不了,那些小事就白做了。有的时候那里来的选择。人走的每一段路都会有难题。你跳过了。问题会追着你跑。幸运的可以搭顺风车逃离。不幸运的会被问题追上。勇敢的就去面对问题。我只觉得小时候的勇敢,不怕考试不及格就为了那一题已经没有了。只能靠着只想普普通通的过一关算一关。能躲一关也是一关。 小时候的梦想其实只是长大以后的笑话。只是一点都不好笑。想去的演唱会,想做的事。。。会跟着时间消失。。。就是完成不了的。不是努力就可以的。。。感受也会慢慢的麻木。梦想如果可以真实一点失望就不会那么大。虽然有一些动力但是是不对的动力。有些事也改变不了了。别人以为的小事。如果你经历过,在和我说是小事。我不会报复性的说这只是小事。应为我知道不是。如果我不是以前的我,我不会这么做。应为以前的我也觉得是小事。

 找不到锅。原来我背着。也许以为我不知道吧。我是在进来前知道的。很多事其实不是秘密。早有人说了而且是你最不想知道的人可能早知道了,而我只是提醒。如果提醒错了人,不懂又乱说,我就应该一开始不说。等真的发生了,就看天看地吧。事实不在口中。在证据。我们只是以为。以为没人知道。只是知道的人不说。见好就收。如果不收,把人逼急了,全部吞下的一定被吐出来。初15。预告。
