New stuff

  • Today I did at least two new stuff that's out of the ordinary. Instead of buying something, I sold something. Well, I posted my watch for sale. I love watches but I think I need money now more than watches. So, I'm getting rid of watches that doesn't spark joy for me. First to go is my Hamilton Khaki Fied Mechanical. I bought this @ 2017 and seldomly used it. It's not my taste. I put it up for sale in my trusty Australian Watch Buy Swap Sell group. Surprisingly, there's a lot of interest in the watch. I'll be meeting a buyer tomorrow to close the sale. All the effort I did was to take some well curated pictures of the watch and posted it up online to turn it into cash. Cool.

  • This morning, I also did one thing that's out of the ordinary. I read some typescript code. I stumbled upon a simple tutorial from Microsoft. It's a two part front-end programming tutorial. I've read it and there were a few typos here and there that needs correction. I was planning to submit a PR to fix the issues but someone beat me to it. I saw a more critical issue and raised a PR for it. Amazing! I am looking forward getting it merged. That's my small contribution to OSS for today. Surprisingly, this was the gospel that was discussed over the weekend at church. Do a small contribution and do it often -- that's how you affect people.

  • I'm feeling a bit under the weather today -- my daughter had this few days back and now I have it and another daughter. I don't like this feeling. I am fighting back by drinking lots of fluid and taking super strength vitamins.

Plan for tomorrow

  • Bring the watch that I'm selling. Meet the buyer during lunch time. Pass by go and collect $300. This is a good sign, I have the power to earn money as long as I have something to sell that people want at a reasonable price. I'll just keep going at this and I'll earn crazy amounts of money in no time.

  • Bring my work laptop. I should have time to read work code -- this will make me a more efficient employee at work. When can I do that? In the morning, allot a few minutes reading react code. 15 mins max. I'll try it.

  • Have my PR merged at worked and move on to the next.

Tomorrow will be a bright, bright, bright sun shiny day 🌅
