 Just as I thought I wrote the perfect code, and I put it to test. Just as I thought I would get a perfect results but nothing turned up. The program took a few minutes to load… I changed code and test here and there still nothing turned up as I have changed… Point to the wrong IP… Load the wrong IP. That’s the downside of alternative days wfh. And different devices and places. Hm… Config is important. Anything wrong, check config, not code first.

 I met the old lady again. So, not scam lah. She didn’t ask for money today. Sometimes, I wonder what life is all about. If I lived up to her age, being woman, being elderly would be really scary. Actually not being elderly was also not so good of an experience compared to their times. I accidentally deleted part of my code. I was transferring stuff from one page to another. I only realised they were gone after I am going to test it and I have celebrated the victory of solving two problems by going to the toilet and then get myself a cup of water. Only come back to realise that part of the code I solved was gone. No github, no svn and no backup… I took a few hours to solve that.. zzz. It would be easier if I can run the program on my computer but I worry it will spoil it. I have to transfer to another to test it. I almost forgot how I solved that problem. Should write down next time. Should also start installing version control… I am walking on a line without. This job was like I a...

 Scam has definitely affect everyone daily like never before. When my cousin got my number and wants to connect, she put a photo on whatsapp’s profile photo and also sent me her picture to verify she wasn’t a scammer. The fact is that scammers did that too. In fact the more professional the photo was, the more likely it is a scam. When I applied a job, I will also worry it is a scam. Especially no email and I cannot find much on the internet. The only thing that makes the interview sounded right was the interview ways of speaking and a more lifelike profile picture. I chose to believe it and if it hadn’t post on mycareersfuture, I wouldn’t have believe the job was legal when email has problem. I thought email was always the sign of legitimate business or scam. In 2024, anyone can doubt now. I can receive a legitimate email or message that was scam and also non-legitimate as not scam… How inconvenient so I treated all as a scam. Better safe than sorry. Most people fell to the scam i...

 Today, I started off with a strange encounter. Everything was fine. I got up early like 6:00 am. Shower and get dressed. Everything was packed up last night. Managed to get breakfast without queue. Eat at home. Managed to empty my bowel on time. Hehe. Then wait until around 7:30am to set off to work. Somewhere just as I was walking off the HDB and on my way to the MRT station, an old lady was walking beside me talking. I didn’t respond. Then as I was crossing the road, I saw a car like don’t know parking or approaching. I walked slower so the car can see me and the old lady. It was until then I realised the old lady was talking to me. She just walked beside me talking smoothly I thought she was talking with somebody else. I looked around, nobody. She was talking to me so I har?? She repeated her sentence. “Jie jie, Jie jie, ke yi gei wo qian mai dong xi chi ma” (Sister, can give me money to buy food” I was like what? First she called me Jie jie or I misheard her. She might be call...
