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.

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...
