I didn’t accomplish anything today. From morning until noon, I had an online interview with the Energy Bureau. I had prepared my self-introduction for a long time, but as soon as it started, they went straight to asking me questions, which caught me off guard. It took me a full minute to regain my composure. I feel like interviews require practice to handle various situations calmly. Still, it was a good experience for me because it highlighted areas where I need improvement. ...
09:20 Optimizing Diary Information Display Yesterday, I only added the attributes but didn’t have time to implement them. Today, I spent some time making it work and also optimized the style and layout. 09:52 Drew Number 27 for the Interview For the interview at the Energy Bureau, I drew number 27. Being at the very end is quite annoying. 10:13 Studying After a Shower On the Himalaya App, there’s a program called National Centre for the Performing Arts | Listening to Classical Music. The host prepares each episode exceptionally well, even expanding on some stories and knowledge. It’s much better than randomly listening to songs or radio programs—no weird lyrics to make me feel agitated. It also allows me to appreciate the variations in music, preventing me from getting tired of the same genre too quickly. ...
23:48 Shoulders Feel So Sore Another day has come to an end, and I can barely recall what I did today. Let me think: studying, helping Mom with her phone, playing on my phone, sleeping. 23:49 Created a New Templater Template for Callouts I often use callouts in my notes for exercises, notes, tips, and the like. Writing them in native syntax gets tedious, especially with all the switching between Chinese and English. So, I made a Templater template to make it easier. ...
08:32 Got up after playing on my phone for a long time Woke up in the morning, took a shower, and tossed my dirty clothes into the washing machine. Sniffed the rice I cooked on Friday night—no weird smell yet—so I stir-fried it with some potatoes and eggs. 09:35 Checked CSC and talent recruitment programs Time flies—it’s almost mid-May already. Just opened the CSC website, and as expected, no results yet. Then I checked the talent expo website for updates on the talent recruitment progress—same deal, not even an interview notice. ...
10:25 Xiaomi 15 Speaker Distortion I stayed up very late last night. While washing up, I noticed a thin layer of water stains on the counter where I placed the basin. I propped up my Xiaomi 15 against the basin to make a video call. Then I saw the water stains seeping into the phone through the case, so I quickly grabbed it, shook it off, and moved it elsewhere. ...
Getting up with a spring helps me wake up faster. After getting up, I called my mom and said I’d go see her to buy groceries, check on how she’s doing, and offer some encouragement. The produce there is quite fresh, mostly grown by the sellers themselves. I bought some blueberries for my mom, and for myself, I picked up some greens, tofu, bamboo shoots, and tomatoes. I’ve got more vegetables than I can finish. ...
13:32 First Time Stir-Frying Spicy Chicken I used too little oil for frying the chicken, so the meat didn’t dry out enough. I overlooked the saltiness of the fermented bean paste, which led to oversalting. I accidentally set the rice cooker to “keep warm” instead of “cook,” so I took the opportunity to fry a potato and mix it in. I continued stir-frying the chicken over low heat, and by adding the potato, the spicy chicken dish turned into a dry pot chicken with potatoes. ...
