Many things today

 Today is like the most happening day. First, the POS was really really slow… Unsure why it was like that. That’s when most problem started to surface. Wrong pump, card’s declined and the nets chip cannot detect etc… Then top up when the queue was the longest. The same uncle approached the last time when I was alone and was the busiest time at the counter. While you wanted to do more before we go from three pax to two pax, somebody spilled the coffee at the hot water machine and floor… The last time, it was the eggs. Unsure if they have paid for it because I was busy cleaning. People are getting clumsier nowadays as expected from the use of handphone. Probably me too. Maybe I should really curb my use on handphones and back to laptops. It has been real slow and the last time my program was that slow, people complained. I guess it also cannot be helped because as you have more and more datas and more people are using the system, the slower the systems gets. Either invest in a more power pc or able to clear datas after a certain size was reached.

After that, people from the opposite came here because the shop was closed but they never turned off the machine for delivery. Design flaws I guess but most of the time, it was overlooked. Why when your shop was closed, your machine still on? hUh? We are open, it can appeared as closed sometimes. Working when it should not be but not when you needed it to. Poor thing for the person who deliver but I should not be the person you looked for. Somehow, I saw him poor thing and helped… The queue was long. Now the customers became poor thing… I new leh. I also don’t know. I think nobody knows also because the person who knows already closed the shop… sigh. Another thing is that, Flash Coffee also closed down in Sg. What is the trend now because I thought making drinks were really a profiting business. I used to want to be a pastry chef or a bartender. Brainwashed by TVs though. I like baking and baked twice. The second was worst than the first. Guess liking something doesn’t mean you will be good at it. I do believe because of liking it, you are ok to spend more time into perfecting it. Regardless of talent as anyone can do with much practice. Maybe I should take a pastry course. Thing is too many people are doing it so it just something that is not going to be fruitful but fun. Another thing is lacking the right people. Maybe. There is no such thing as right people though. That’s why not many people succeeded. Only the person who found the right ones shall prosper.

Oya. Today the promoter was more hardworking. She is very good but I have no time when she asked question because the queue was long. All of them talked to me at the same time. Every time everyone talked to me at the same time… While the only thing I wanted to do was to clear the queue. I kept on adding to the things I remember for today. I didn’t even have my break. I did make it to the toilet. One bad thing about morning shift, I go toilet more often in the morning because I drank more water usually. 1 big cup the first thing I woke up. 1 bowl of cereal with milk or milo. Unless I have bread else 1 bowl less. 1 cup of Coffee. Another cup of water before going off. Guess I really should control this but it was because I kept getting thirsty at work. Maybe I ate too much sweet things. I gotta control before eating too much. Gotta stop buying sweet stuff when it was on offer.

I was also quite in a dilemma over the react program that I wrote 3 years ago. Now, I tried to get back to it to develop further, tonnes of reusable programs are trying to get funding or people stopped maintaining the code. Some codes even deprecated… Meaning I have to rewrite some parts. Some parts are going to get deprecated. The dependencies deprecation was the worst! Because the code was not written by me. Most reusable codes were bulky. It was meant for everything and I have to include it despite that I only use one function out of it. After people spending so much time perfecting the code, you still have to rewrite it. Why waste too much time perfecting because not many are reusable with time. Think about only 3 years have passed, the react framework that I used already a legacy code… Of course, they still allowed you to run it provided with lots of warning and unexpected errors. If you modified a code based on previous code, it was worst than rewriting. Why? Example, if you have a shirt, you have to modify it to swimwear, sport wear, smart wear or whatever, that is tiring. It was also not meant the best for either one of the function that you need. Code is just like that. The more you modified, the worst it gets. Unless it was meant for the same function and same people. This is obvious not the case because the world is always changing. Current solution is always done to solve the current problem at its optimum, changing it changed everything. Not everyone has the same problem. Sigh… Well, hope I did well for the hackathon.

My lucky draw number came out again but this time I never buy… To me, everyday is just about making money and living it. I wonder why do we have to make ourselves so tired. I am not the person who takes a big risk.

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.
