😷

Feeling terrible now.

My throat hurts like mad.

Each time I drank water, it started to burn afterwards.

Wasn't able to sleep the entire night. Only started to sleep from 4 to 7AM after I decided to eat the medicine that is supposed to reduce inflammation. (But would need to eat with food)

Wearing invisilgn is definitely not convenient in this circumstances.

How long more do I have to bear with this pain.. it's really a torture🥲

reaching 3 months mark

time flies, almost 3 months into the job.

But I'm starting to feel some frustrations because of the lack of the ability to do certain things due to the tools and infrastructure.

Can't believe productionizing a table could take so much time and effort, it used to take me a couple of minutes to do so after the script was written and checks were done. 

Also, it's not within my control now. It has to be done by a DE...

Sigh...just don't understand why a bigger company has worse tech stack, creating so many inefficiencies.

Not sure how long i could last

no sports for this year

Visited the knee specialist this morning after my MRI scan last week.

Found to have a meniscle tear which is causing my inner knee pain. Meniscle tear isn't a big issue.

Unfortunately，the MRI also shows that my knee cap has an issue (can't remember the medical term). This requires surgery..which is gonna be painful and would need 6 weeks to 3 months of recovery.

Sigh.

How is it possible for me to take such a long period of leaves when I'm just 2months into my new job. I think I would have to take one week of hospitalisation leave at least. 

Probably I could talk to my manager after my probation. I guess what I can do now it's to get the information that I need and plan whatever I could first.

But I'm feeling a little sad after absorbing the news for a couple of hours now. No sports for the next 6 months. The ops has a 75 to 80% successful rate. Doesn't seems high enough.

Should I get a second opinion? I should research more details about it, I guess.

Sad..Gonna a have workout plan without aggravating my knee.

amex

This is my first time getting a welcome call after I applied a credit card. Amex is really taking customer service to another level.

Never ever had a call from the credit card companies. Some were worse, I had to dial the hotline to get my card approved after waited for days.

Just something nice to share about for today.

the unexpected

Can't believe there is a jam on the expressway on a sunny Saturday morning because of an accident.

Why people just can't drive safely. Traffic is usually low on the weekends and there's NO rain. 

I'm going to be late for my 930am appointment...

1.5 months mark

Into the new job for 1.5 months.

Feels like things are more complicated in a bigger company.

Just don't understand why their infrastructures are so disorganized and decentralized.

Tools are harder to use.

Facing a lot of challenges that didn't have to happen in my past role. 

I feel like china products seems to be better in some ways. 

And they like to change tool from time to time, but it doesn't always a change for the better.

I'm just thinking what i could get out of this role.

Hmm. 

Not sure.

I think i have to take some time to think it through..

Hopefully i can fix my knee this year. so that i can go to more places

   

"heart pain"

My sis bought an expensive loaf of bread yesterday.

I ate two pieces this morning, and found there were still 6 pieces when I came home.

However! There was mold forming on one of the pieces. The bread has to be kept in the fridge if it's not consume within the day...nobody told me.

My sis knew and she didn't keep it in the fridge yesterday...faint...

I don't know if the bread had turned moldy when I ate it this morning. Hmm, it has been almost 12 hours, I guess I should be okay?

But! My heart hurt when I threw away the entire bread just now :(
