Today

 Today, I went out to get my tracker changed. It has been less than a year and it cannot be charged. Unsure why. I didn’t wear it but it detected me walking 3000+ steps despite unable to charge. It lasted a few days without charging and maintain at the same battery level. Did I got a non rechargeable? Meaning don’t need to charge forever? hehehe. Maybe I shouldn’t have to return it. Just worries halfway through it doesn’t charge and it over the warranty date, I can’t change it. It is the first one for me so I got it for free. 

As I walked towards the MRT this morning despite the haze, I saw a “stick guy” riding a bike towards me. I am unsure whether it’s a he or she but I assumed a he. He had a fitted jacket with hood. The hood covered his head and forehead. He had mask over his face and wearing sunglasses. Covered from head to toe. His whole body was like stick. Skinny to the max. He was tall so make him look even skinnier. I almost thought somebody made a robot and put it on a bike. 

Then I saw a busking old lady. From afar, I thought was an old man. The voice a bit harsh and playing a guitar. That’s what I assumed. As I got closer and the guitar was good and the singing was good. I have never heard that song before. Must be from their age. It was so good that it is hard to come by and she sang it nicely. This is the second time I gave money to busker. Just 2 dollar lah. I spent 2 dollars less tomorrow. 

I go on to Somerset. I cannot find the way. It says go via Exit D. After I reached Exit D, there is nothing pointing towards The CentrePoint. I walked in circles and back to the mrt entrance. In the end, I did managed to find by Google Map. Hehehe. I thought I was late but guess what? I was a day earlier. Hahaha.

I booked an appointment tomorrow which was wrong because I was working. Lucky, I managed to reschedule to today at a later timing. However, since it wasn’t crowded there, the lady said it is ok and she can take a look at it. No need to wait until 1:30 pm. It was like 12:10 pm. I lost my way for 10 minutes. She changed one for me soon enough. She got dozens of chargers and it doesn’t charged the tracker. She also checked that I collected the tracker less than a year ago. She changed for me without further question apart from verifying my id. She set the new one for me and updated it to my app. Wah. All like less than 5 mins. When I was there, there was nobody so I was the first. I took the queue number even though there is no queue. After I took it for a few seconds and they called the number. Hehehehe. 

After all done, I walked around. I have not been there before I think. It is across the road. Normally at somerset, I seldom go to other buildings. I liked it because it was less crowded but songfa bakuteh was crowded. I decided not to go since I never liked queue. I am a cashier now and not pouring cold water on myself but I think cashier shouldn’t be long. By the time you were at the counter, you should have everything you needed. Paying money shouldn’t be longer than your shopping right. I spent 10 mins shopping, 10 mins paying… Actually, paying takes more time sometimes. I was regular to 711 before this. I get all my breakfast there before going to work every morning. On somedays, the queue was really fast yet on somedays, it was really really slow. Cashier was the same. Alone. The queue was long. Sometimes, the wait was too long, people before me just put down their things and went off. Normally I am early but if I am later than usual, I would do that too and try another convenient store. One time I was in a rush, glad that there is only a few people in front. The guy which the cashier is now serving asked a lot of questions and buying lots of things. I kena the hidden queue… Too bad, because it was a rush, that was the only las convenient store on my way to work. After that, I ran all the way to the bus stop to queue for company bus. The timing was all bad. Just when I reached the bus stop the bus drove off… It was all full anyway. The next one in 10 mins. Then to my surprise another company bus came my way. I quickly got on. It was the strangest journey. The bus was not familiar, the bus not crowded, and the windows are different and the path changed. It went to another department building instead of mine….  It was a whole building away from my intended building. I got 5 more mins to 8:30am. Although there is no strict requirement and it is still not nice to appear late. People see, people say despite not everyone was there at 8:30am. Probably half the office only reach there between 8:30 to 9:00am. I ran all the way with my laptops and some equipments. As I am going to pass the turnstiles, our company bus just passed by… If I have waited 10 mins, I could have saved all the hassle and hustle. Good thing, I ran a lot that day. As a customer, I don’t think I asked lots of question. I think as cashier I have more questions to ask. Like a mother to their kids. Any eVouchers, pump number, plastic bags, membership cards, payment methods, any promotion that is ongoing, and blablabla. Repeat N times. The only person you never ask, turned out to be the one you needed to ask. Most people just say no before you finished the question. I have stress to finish my sentence before their no… Ok, maybe I should be slower so I don’t have to finish the sentence. Well, could I think of better way to solve this issue? If a self service kiosk got so many question i will die. For the first time it was ok but for every single time I buy the same thing, it becomes a chore you hoped to skip. So far, I liked McDonalds. Why? I can order from my table. hehe.

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.
