least expected

last night when i throw my jeans into the washing machine along with other clothes i heard a loud sound like "thak!!" well i didnt think that i have coins or anything in any of the clothes i throw into the machine full of water and it is already spinning with 2 cups of laundry detergent powder. it was not till the rinse stage with water pouring in i know now why the loud sound came out. i forgot to take out my pedometer from the jeans pocket.. desperately taking it out from the tangled clothes the cover screen was cracked and obviously nothing on the screen. exactly like before i change the battery and it was only like 6 hours before the dead blow. and it was after months i kept the pedometer in the drawer unused. it got me to think that what you have, use it like NOW or else you gonna be sorry because they also have a life span and bad things can happen in a blink of an eye. not to blame anyone but me.. i find that i have this very short term memory loss and it was like a file is not save or written properly in the memory disk and therefore i failed to read the process and it was like there was a delay in terms of time processing that the execution came out late or later than where it should be performing. in the world of computer it is bad.

well with this momentarily memory loss causes a much unexpected outcome..  my mind was working trying to remember what people do when their gadget fall into the water.DRY it. with all i have i triedto disassemble the pedometer and wipe it dry ..easy for the screen but not that easy for the inside parts. what is more frustrating is that one little screw was not giving much cooperation. it took another 2 hours after failing to unscrew the last screw that i found the one tool to finally remove the last screw.. that is what i thought the last.. but there were another 4 little (about 5mm) screws inside.. but thanks to the magic tool-all for one and one for all. with the hairdryer i think i did well on drying the pedometer inside out. but something else happened..... i lost one tiny little screw that the pedometer will not be complete without it. this is what they say looking for a needle in a haystack? well the flooring are white 1 foot square tiles and i was looking for a silver 4mm~5mm screw. applying some csi technique by screening each square foot of tiles to find nothing at all.. about 22 hours later tonight giving up looking for the one missing screw i assembled the pedometer back to how it should looks like.(it was pretty easy actually - gadgets are made precisely to fit the case which covers the inside more like the bones that fits in the skin .perfectly into place. so you will have no problem when you seems to be destroying the gadget. the point is to remember how  or where the parts you removed should be-ironically i forgot to remove the pedometer from my jeans pocket or else i wouldnt have to do all these things.)

i go as far as to buy a set of  precision screwdriver to work with the tiny screws. Alhamdulillah luckilly the pedometer works!!!!! yey yeya! missing one screw is nothing but that doesnt stops me from thinking of getting a replace for the missing screw - perhaps from other unused gadget that might fits in the missing screw and secure the pedometer.. well thinking is a very powerful mind exercise.. with thinking all the possibilities of where i can get a tiny screw an idea popped up - what if the screw didnt fall on the floor but it landed somewhere closer to the place i dissembled the pedometer. YES! it was right there, a place where you least expected it would be. lessons learned: never give up, give it a try, think! it is a powerful tool and think of other possibilities not just in a bigger view but somewhere between small to medium somewhere others would not think as a possibility. the result is just amazing and awestruck.

just a reminder to myself to find solutions to problem the reasons might not be that complicated all i  need to do is THINK and give myself TIME.

p/s: if you dont have a screwdriver you can use any flat metal with corners, scissors, letter opener, and simply using the metal nail file in your manicure set; if it can fit the slotted or phillips screw head. but if the screw head is flat hexagon head screw or allen screw it is best to use its very own matching tool the allen key. who can fix it?Bob the Builder!!!

i hate my job?

well who doesnt?

there are times i hate my job.. during times like a quarrel between colleagues. i know i tend to lead things in the office because i feel like no one is doing anything to make things. they just jump into doing things without planning and bring everyone with them. well it is ok when things planned turn out ok. but what if it doesnt? yeah i hate the feeling that i have to be with or in the situation, then what is the point of planning for the team if they are not following it? ok after this i will just wait for orders. and not volunteering. that will make me less pissed inside. because the leader in me is bad. very bad... too bad. i should just play along and follow the leader and stop ordering asking acting like i know everything. ok i am not doing my job right now. yes against the rule of integrity... always stress specially because of this colleague. i was a fool by accepting this job because that time i thought i can say no. but at the same time the place where i used to work is having a problem. and i was stuck. i thought it was my way to run away. well what people always say is right "dont run away from problem it will always come back no matter where i go. ok i am imagining things again.. but it will be ok if they think im not doing my job and they will think... a pause there.. a colleague from another team came by to get some infomation and we had a little chat about work..what possible and what is not,. and another interuption.. a call from our client .. try my best giving an assuring answer.. i think i've cool down now. no one live without a problem.. without a stress.,, and i am sure there is always someone stuck in between.

this year is my third year in this team and work.. i think my true color is showing day by day and pretty sure by the end of this year my bad color is glowing brightly and by next year my team members will see who am i and they should be plotting of getting rid of me.. and i think next year might be just the right time to go away again.. run away again??? when am i going to settle down with my job? if i quit i still have loans to pay. and that is like another 13 to 15 years. and if i grow old i dont have my own family to take care of me except for my sister's children might be if they feel like taking care of this old lady. there i am trying to run away again...

people say that the problem  that come to you is a problem that is something that you can strongly and bravely faced and solve? it is something that you can live on with? is it? no.... it is something that you can handle. and then what? another problem and life goes on and on and on.. this is not a fairy tale, dear me!

doo-wop in my ears

not feeling well since last week after the big flood..
eat a lot like really everything i want to eat..
and now listening to doo-wop songs.. the 50s-60s era i feel like living..  huuu...

well ever since i starts with my D.I.M Projects.. 2 out of 4 didn't lasts long. well lessons learnt but  that doesn't stop me from doing another project.. hahahha this time it is cut and cut and make it stand... and turn boxes to a wall decoration .. work is always the same.. but i still cant move in back to my house.. the flood after effect is too much to fix and clear up. have to wait for weekends to come and sweat out.. and these two days my arms are aching.. feel sorry for my parents,, they had done a lot and i couldn't help much.

the flood had turned me to be the son they need to be around. and the strength i have is all that i can offer; a daughter transforms to 'S' the superson! i fit the clark kent nerd look with spectacles   but not that handsome when i transforms and i don't have the eyes that can cut off the wall by just looking. and hey kryptonite doesn't hurts me.. but i'm afraid of the frog..yep.

car family vs. family car

sometimes well most of the time what we planned  to do left undone. sometimes most of the time i think too much how one's problem will effect me and i dont want to get involve.. but in the end it is me who give in first and i become the person who let the burden be mine

D.I.M ~ the Walking! (walk-in-) Closet

 credits to the owner of this picture and design.. it inspires me a lot! THANK YOU ^__^

 in the end it didn't turn out the way i want like the first picture.. partly because the woods are expensive and i used the car to bring it home and with 20 ft X 4 woods and another 7 ft X 10 woods in a car.. a 7 minutes ride become longer than usual.. and i have to be extra careful besides i'm not that sure with this project.

costs: RM133 without paint... with paint RM160 ..this D.I.M Project costs more but i gained more.. how to cut wood using saw properly and burn calories ! and determination and being patience with the work in hand. learn how to measure precisely and finding out the reason why cabinet or cupboard can be so costly, the materials used the idea of the design and the work need to be done to make a nice smooth looking piece (unlike mine hahhahaha)

D.I.M ~ wall decoration

This idea is not originally mine.. google some idea for recycling old calendars and this one idea is what i can do. All the things needed are all around me so items needed is enough to complete my third D.I.M project.

surf the net to get ideas where
i can and you can create using things
i have or you have around you.

the cost of creating all this?

pictures? ~ FREE ..calendars given by companies to
offices for promotions

board? ~ FREE .. cut off boards from renovating
office's rooms

art paint? ~RM3.90 but i didnt buy just to make
all these.. i've used to paint few things since last year..so
it is like i invested 1 cent per day.

brush, pencil, ruler, scissors and cutter? ~ Things i have around
me; every working day.
