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....

Cuts

 I finished doing my wallet without cutting myself. I got a poke from the needle though but it was alright. Only that one time. The rest I found a way to prevent that. The cutting mat has been very useful and now it’s filled with holes. Today I got my first cut of the year. Fengshui’s problem. I was taking something from the dark corner near the kitchen sink at work. Was opening the carton for umbrella. Someone asked me to take. When I was cashier, I normally took it myself instead of calling someone unless really necessary. I have cut away the tape but the tape side sick to the wall so I pulled it and I couldn’t remember but just felt sharp pain on my left palm. My left hand gave way after the cover flipped open and the knife on the right hand slashed my palm. Sigh, I should have close it before pulling the cover. It failed to open the first time so I slide it out to cut a second time but worry it didn’t open and kept it that way. Should have trust my instinct.  I also think ...

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.
