時光飛速,這麽快,又到了寫一篇關於我上個365天的總結。很好奇我這些年都是怎麽開的頭,這標題。<br><br>
<h2>關於生活</h2>
哎嘿!今年去了好多地方玩呢!泰國的合艾,和全是馬來西亞的金馬倫,砂勞越,Langkawi收官。中間也探訪了在KL的老朋友的新房子。同事説我這是在Cuti-cuti Malaysia嗎?是的。怎麽説呢?真的去到每一個地方感覺都很好玩。<br><br>

哎,是呀最近開始接觸Threads,説真的很喜歡!很喜歡他們的media排版方式,安排的明明白白的,也不需要只上傳同一個size的照片。而且他就是相對的更注重文字吧。敗筆大概就是post tag了朋友卻不會出現在朋友的profile裏。
<br><br>
<h2>關於拼命</h2>
今年開始在新東家工作,目前來説是滿好玩的。由於是大公司所以我突然一時有點錯愕的發現這裏遇見的人的性格和處理方式基本上還真的是之前都沒怎麽遇到過的。外表可愛講話風趣的有可能其實是一位Vice President,説話很兇的抗拒性很高的往往都是利用聲音壓壓你。慶幸的是我團隊這裏的嘗試自由蠻高的,只要你有合理的理由+計劃,每個人都可以去自薦想法。<br><br>
希望新的一年還是那麽好玩唄。
<br><br>
<h2>關於閲讀</h2>
26本。我以爲我今年還挺沉迷手機的,結果還看了個26本。今年竟然之閲讀了4本中文書,難怪我中文好像越來越差了...這要怎麽拿捏好呢。

話説2023年12月的時候開始嘗試一些雜志閲讀,真的很有意思!我好喜歡。首先反正是subscribe了Reader's Digest,其他都還在觀摩是否找一個長期的subscribe方案。<br><br>
是的,又是來自 Kindle Unlimited 的其中一項好康。 <br><br>
<h2>關於2024的目標模式</h2>
2024 年呢,我的目標是“有始有終”,要針對全部已經開始的全部小事物都做出一個結束或結果。比如:完成2023未完成的鈎針、把抽屜裏的全部護膚品樣品都用完、把2023年買的保健品四神粉服用完畢。<br><br>
是的,都是一些小事。可是到最後也許...收穫會很多吧 :)<br><br>
<b>期待即將擁有很多小勾勾的2024!</b><br><br>

乾眼症又名MGD Meibomian Gland Dysfunction。就是因為眼瞼失調阻塞導致油脂無法正常釋放,從而無法保持眼睛滋潤,所以直接性的就讓眼睛出現了乾燥的情況。我大概花了5個月的時間兜兜轉轉的看了5次醫生,詢問過了2間診所+2間眼睛專科,試藥了6個月。終於在最後一趟遇到了對我這對乾眼珠子有所幫助的醫生。<br><br>
<h2>怎麼發生的?</h2>
我也不知道,我也好想知道呀!在某一個時候我的眼睛就開始感覺乾燥。不同的醫生說著許多不同的理由,由於我是0化妝0隱形眼鏡的人,所以醫生們大概也不知道還可以怎麼忽悠我。有的說空調吹多了,有的說手機看多了,有的說生活作息不好,有的說基因突變。總結來說就是:不知道。<br><br>
<h2>嚴重程度進度表</h2>
一開始我就是開始眼睛不舒適感覺乾燥,這時候我開始找普通眼藥水用了。事情發生的蠻快的,2個星期後眼睛乾燥的情況卻變得非常嚴重,嚴重到我甚至無法睜著眼睛超過5秒,無法出門,每天就只能躺著眨眨眼畢竟也沒辦法用眼睛。這時候我開始找醫生了,跌跌撞撞的一開始當然就是沒那麼容易找對醫生對症下藥。再後來是巔峰嚴重的時候,每次睡覺醒來的時候眼皮是乾燥得睜不開的,是的,是乾燥得根本睜不開眼睛的。這種情況我也只能閉著眼睛慢慢的轉動眼珠,就好像生鏽的齒輪需要先攪一攪讓他動起來。第一次遇到這情況的時候真是心理慌了一下,還以為我瞎了。<br><br>
在開始最後一位專科醫生的外敷用藥後,我的症狀終於呀開始控制住了。目前也只是早上剛起床的那段時間會出現乾燥-就大概1個小時吧。再後來就是偶爾工作需要大量的眼力的時候就會開始眼睛乾燥疲憊,但其實也還沒到嚴重得礙事的情況。總體來說現在是處於受控制的狀態。<br><br>
<h2>這乾眼症痛嗎?</h2>
呃…某種時候就會痛吧,尤其是每天早上睡醒的時候,那種感覺是非常不好受的。而且乾眼症發作的時候通常就是感覺眼睛裡有很大顆的沙子,怎麼弄也弄不走的那一種。煩。<br><br>
<h2>乾眼症後遺症</h2>
首先我也不知道這還能說是後遺症嗎,畢竟我這不爭氣的眼珠子也還沒痊癒。但是可以確定的是這乾眼睛倒是帶來了非常嚴重的一個後續-我的視覺受影響了。雖然我的近視度數仍然在200左右(乾眼症前就已經是這個度數),但是現在我的眼睛在沒戴眼鏡的情況下是有閱讀困難的,更糟糕的是就算戴上眼鏡我也無法看清有點距離的字體,相比以前來說是有所差別。反正這導致我現在是必須無時無刻都戴著眼鏡了。<br><br>
其二就是,本身因為臉很容易流汗所以我一直以來只會在工作或閱讀的時候戴著眼鏡(簡單來說就是不喜歡戴眼鏡)。詢問了我的專科醫生這眼珠子還可以做近視鐳射嗎?醫生說這眼珠子的健康程度不建議。我怕我瞎了,所以就只好回頭乖乖的戴眼鏡了。<br><br>
第三個後遺症就是這眼珠子似乎變得更脆弱了。我現在不能看一些太過亮白的界面,所以漸漸的許多軟件界面都開始轉換到黑白主題。電腦屏幕亮度也需要調整下來。換句話說寫這篇文章的時候我其實也分開了幾次去完成,畢竟一直盯著這長篇大論的確實對我這對眼珠子有點挑戰。<br><br>
<h2>每日照顾</h2>
以下是目前對我的干眼症控制最有效的外用藥品,如果你有乾眼症,這多少應該有點幫助吧。<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKXKiDpt-15JsHQ2AJK6k5JoVdHchyU51hNrEXjkVCJaZp8FQJ-ywY1989QLNI721f45OmBw4XTRecdQ5Pkykd3gWXfA-UY15reoEGgItQB5A5I1Ajwvpo0XKDha-7m3oGQH7tQdDXGuORu2D2jMw8jkVL2OvOihY40WTT_dTL2XoU8O-d30BWBDB1BHE3/s800/mgd-treatment.jpg" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; "><img alt="" border="0" width="400" data-original-width="800" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKXKiDpt-15JsHQ2AJK6k5JoVdHchyU51hNrEXjkVCJaZp8FQJ-ywY1989QLNI721f45OmBw4XTRecdQ5Pkykd3gWXfA-UY15reoEGgItQB5A5I1Ajwvpo0XKDha-7m3oGQH7tQdDXGuORu2D2jMw8jkVL2OvOihY40WTT_dTL2XoU8O-d30BWBDB1BHE3/s800/mgd-treatment.jpg"/></a></div>
1. 眼瞼皂,每天1-2次,打在紙巾上然後擦拭上下眼瞼。翻開眼皮擦拭就對了。<br>
2. 然後再利用這個一次性人工眼藥水清洗眼睛,一次一支就夠了。這東西其實就是眼藥水,只是醫生讓我把它當作清洗眼睛肥皂的清水。<br>
3. 最後步驟就是這一小隻的消炎眼藥水,通常我就晚上滴一滴。<br>
4. 最後就是這個日常照顧眼珠子的超級重要的無防腐劑人工淚滴眼藥水,基本就是隨身必須攜帶的物品了。工作太傳神的時候通常都必須再滴一滴。<br><br>
一開始就是每日重複兩次以上的步驟,可是第二次復診的時候醫生告訴我嘗試減少至一天一次,減少對用藥的依賴。所以目前來說我也就一天一次。當然也曾經偷偷的叛逆試過兩天不用藥,結果第三天報應就來了。<br><br>
每一次我都會購入大概6個月的用量,花費大概SGD230(唉)。其實好幾次對比了一下市面上的價格,這家專科真的賣的最便宜了。加上由於新加坡有嚴格的藥品管制,所以一些藥品是在普通藥房買不到的。寫著寫著想起我的存庫好像又差不多要完了。<br><br>
<h2>撞板的經歷</h2>
好歹我這人是也是第一次乾眼,所以當然就會撞板了。一開始用了watson的清洗眼睛的藥水 (eye wash 之類的),這東西其實是朋友介紹的。但是我一用後眼睛就辣痛,甚至會辣痛幾乎一個3-4個小時。他對普通眼睛清洗確實是有效的,但是對於乾眼珠子來說好像有點太刺激了。<br><br>
第二就是,絕對要果斷換專科醫生。因為一位錯的醫生錯的藥就會需要你再花費1個月的時間去試藥。那麼再拖下去也只是錯過了最好的治療時間+浪費錢。<br><br>
<h2>劃重點</h2>
最後最後的重點,乾眼症需要用無防腐劑人工淚滴。無防腐劑。無防腐劑。無防腐劑。<br><br>Yin Yinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01953820738353999767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2588494510153467224.post-88374359896860287972023-07-15T23:28:00.000+08:002023-07-15T23:28:08.907+08:00Book Review: I'm Glad My Mom Die | Hey, this is a memoir title.

It can help you. But it can also destroy you. The outcome depends on how you use your thoughts. - <i><Think Straight></i></blockquote>
<br>
Are you the one that can’t stop your brain racing especially when you should sleep. You can’t stop thinking about the incident happen 5 minutes ago and struggle if you doing it right.<br><br>
But this is a super power!<br><br>
<h2 id="c1">Brain exercise and condition rehearsal </h2>
Most of the time when you can’t stop thinking, your brain is trying to rehearsal what had happened, or what might happen soon. In a long run, you will notice you started to be able to handle an impromptu questions or challenges easily, because you have been rehearsal in your brain for hundred times. <br><br>

Should I ignore everything | Read reviewThere is a bestseller title with <i>The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck</i> by Mark Manson. And interestingly, Alex Wills published a counter with title "Give a F*ck Actually” to share how could you reclaim yourself without hiding yourself. <br><br>
It’s interesting paper debate between authors, at least this is the first time I’ve seen such kind of “collabs”. LOL. <br><br>
Let’s skip the part of the first book because the review is already written <a href="https://woo-goo.blogspot.com/2023/01/mark-manson-subtle-art-of-not-giving-a-fck.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">here</a>. If we focus onto this topic now, there are some few more interesting perspectives that we can extend here. <br><br>
<h2>Why Should You Give a F*ck?</h2>
1. To admit the issue and do the necessary<br>
Ignoring the facts doesn’t make yourself better, worst case it might mentally burden yourself. It looks like you’re “ignoring” the issue, but actually it made you stress even you didn’t admit. So at some situation, you would have to face the issue, and make a decision, so that you can move forward. <br>
2. To express yourself<br>
If you are telling yourself “it’s okie, I prefer not to argue”, then you are actually ignoring yourself. Most of us simply take it and being afraid of express and rejects, ironically, the relationship won’t get better even you are always being an “okie” person, things get worst because you are always increasing your thresholds until… no one will respect your preferences anymore. So be active to yourself, your preferences. You are always allow to express yourself and decide your own directions. <br>
3. To improve yourself<br>
When you started to stay alert, you will also started to self reflects to get better version of yourself or lifestyle. You started to seek for a solution whenever you noticed an issue instead of ignoring it. And slowly you will be growing to actively improving in different perspective or environment. <br><br>

Look at the little lever, look at the lights effects. Aww... so adorable. <br><br>
<h2>The Sound Quality</h2>
This fella is a speaker. Yea. Seriously I’m not sure if Divoom’s focus point is speaker or the pixel art, because both of them are so good. The sound quality is good enough for my daily use, watching drama or listen to podcast. P/s: music is not my daily thing, but for me the music playing sounds good too!<br><br>
<h2>The Pixel Art </h2>
If you look at Divoom's product line, their focus is on Pixel Art. Ditoo-pro support up to 16x16 pixel art drawing and display. By using their apps, you can draw the art yourself, or get from their community. Of course you can publish your designs to the community to gain some fans. <br><br>
There’s a <b>Planner</b> features in Ditoo, which allows you to setup your daily routine and the Ditoo will display accordingly when the time hit. Eg a Coffee art during 3-4PM, my settings. It’s a kind of ceremony you know, to add a little fun to the dull hours. This is the features I like the most. <br><br>
And tell you what, I’m having digital pet on my desk, the swimming fish. AHAHA. <br><br>
<h2>The Connections</h2>
Ditoo can be connected via bluetooth and coming with 2 types of bluetooth connection, make sure you connect to the correct one to play the music. <br>
1. Ditoo-Light: this will allow you to setting the device, upload your pixel art, setup the alarm and planner or voice command etc features that available in the apps. <br>
2. Ditoo-Audio: for audio output, for speaker purpose.<br>
So the game is you may connect your phone to control the device, but connect to your PC for the music playing. <br><br>
<h2>The Battery Life & Charging Method</h2>
Consider Ditoo as a display or a speaker, I perhaps it is not for 24 hours use. The battery life actually significantly impacting the user experience: <br>
1. The battery life is extremely low. It can last only 12 -14 hours, it die so fast that you have to take care the device instead of get it to entertain yourself. The options are either turn it on only when necessary or plug in the cable all the time to keep it alive. <br>
2. The charging port is a type-C. I’m so happy to see it come with type-C port, BUT! It can’t be simply charge via your smartphone charger due to the voltage differences. It works only if you have a 5V charger or else you will have to charge it using the in-box cable. This made me an additional charging cable on my desk, I thought it can share with the iPad’s cable 😟<br>
3. So the battery life is so short that it encourage you to on/off it everyday, BUT ironically, the on/off button is BEHIND the device with a lid covered! Damn. Sometimes I do think that the product designer never use these product themselves. If the on/off is so important it might as well place as one of the key on the keyboard area or if there is a schedule to turn off the device easily. <br><br>
So here’s the thing, when the battery life is so short that required you to on/off everyday, and it’s so troublesome in reaching the on/off button, you would started to question the purpose of turn it on. LOL. <br><br>
<h2>Conclusions</h2>
A very cute and vibes-building gadget. Although it having battery lasting issue, but it do provides quality vibes that helps you to enjoy certain hours or tasks. Also with the mini art display, it provides digital fun like.. get a on screen pet. like me. 😆<br><br>

This topic is kind of personal because everyone have their communication preference. The moment you are seeking for advices in these area, I guess you appears that you might be not confident with the way you talk, you always has the moment that regret what had spoken, struggle to explain yourself better, worrying if the listener misunderstood what you trying to convey. <br /><br />
To be honest, the moment you revisit & blame yourself "I should have talk better", you are actually improving your talking skills, bit by bit. <br /><br />
I’ve stumble onto this topic due to a recent read written by author William Howard - <i>How to Talk Effectively: A Practical Guide to Speak Your Mind Clearly and Influence People Indirectly</i> <br />
<div class="separator" style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" no-pin="" src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1664656355i/62841477.jpg" width="150" /></div>
<br>
So I thought I might be able to extend this topic through my personal experiences. <br><br>
<h2>Why do we need to talk?</h2>
<ol>
<li>Understand each other<br>
To share the real personality of yours. To firm up the bonding in between 2 or a group of people. Perhaps you have a better chat when talk about overseas vacation, or maybe for reading, or maybe gaming. We talk to understand and find out the bonding in between. </li>
<li>To avoid conflicts… <br>
We used to judge people through face expressions plus motion. This is why a statement exist “first impression is important”. Most of the time the first impression broke after you’ve more talk and successfully understand each other. </li>
<li>To exchange valid information<br>
Especially for working environment. Sharing a proper and not confusing words is important.</li>
</ol>
<br>
<h2>How to have an effective conversation?</h2>
<ol>
<li>No interruption <br>
Sometimes we might cutoff someone who is talking, this is extremely bad habit unless the conversation is a gossip channel. When someone is sharing and you found a misleading/incorrect statement, noted down and clarify only after the person finish talking. <br>
<i>Interviewer Manager: "It seems you've no experience in working with other teams other than your own team. But in our company culture, you will need to work with different people from different department, also from different stakeholder. etc etc"<br>
Wait for her finish talking, and you can clarify your experience better. "Just now you've mentioned about my experience working with other departments, actually I always do, due to the PM roles in my current company, project came in might not fall to my own team but also required development from different teams to complete a project. " </i>
</li>
<li>Eye contacts <br>
This is quite a personal preference. Like for me, whenever I have eye contact in a conversation, the talker usually get stress and asked if I got any questions. hmmmm. But if your eye contact doesn't made someone feeling uncomfortable, do it.
</li>
<li>Reaction and feedback while listening<br>
Continue from point 2, as since my eyes is not appear as "friendly", most of the time I might avoid eye contact, but I will continuously giving feedback like nod or simply a "yes". This way the talker know that I'm listening and they would appears continue talking confidently.
</li>
<li>Applying your own emotion to a story<br>
You are really welcome to apply your own emotion when someone is telling story, if there's a good news you can be happy and congrats to the story teller. If it’s a bad news, show your sympathy. I guess you won’t prefer to have zero reactions when you are sharing something to others too, right?
</li>
<li>Control your ego <br>
When we come into working environment, sometimes we received bad email from customers or colleagues who are cursing and scolding about malfunction system or miscalculation etc, you will be angry and wanted to defend for yourself. However, scolding back is always a lowest recommended option. At this moment, take a deep breath, instead of scolding back, try to understand and suggest further what can he/she try or info that necessary for you to help them better. <br>
<i>Boss "I need this urgently, can you arrange this project asap? Why is it so difficult to get this arrange?"<br>
You "Unfortunately there’s no resources left for this request, we are occupied with few projects at the moment. Here is the list of existing projects and their schedules, I would suggest to have the Project Z have lower priorities so that we can push this new project as a high urgent Project instead" </i><br>
Tips: Stay calm and focus on solution, not your ego to defend yourself.
</li>
</ol>
<br>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
We fall into conversation everyday to exchange bonding and information, not to hurt others. From a talking session, we can easily find out if the talker’s is a gossiper, a self-focus, a steady person. A long term relationship will be built when there’s communication exist.
<br><br>
Be a listener, provide sincere reactions, and be an effective talker. <br><br>

It’s so excited to have this gadget onboard for an Instax lovers. Being a Instaxer since 2013, from Mini 7s to Mini 90 then now an Instax Printer, this is a new toy that definitely will be looking for. Anyone having a similar Instax-path? Heh<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6DmXxxYElQCoTqao_XLmqBamZXOjM_QACR8b_Z3eC0s_Bu90oJ1O4yvrriokwH-jAX4YJTbg0T8rwnglB_BiLm6Dg6zHTd96kEnYblN3UpEG2lh7XDx1yOBb1VV-bcsGUH678o1hdXwbD0taT_yaVO3fkVbXB2nKLe6sWYWffFz9c7LGNihWzh3NhdA/s1600/IMG_0095.JPG" style="display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;"><img alt="" border="0" data-original-height="476" data-original-width="600" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6DmXxxYElQCoTqao_XLmqBamZXOjM_QACR8b_Z3eC0s_Bu90oJ1O4yvrriokwH-jAX4YJTbg0T8rwnglB_BiLm6Dg6zHTd96kEnYblN3UpEG2lh7XDx1yOBb1VV-bcsGUH678o1hdXwbD0taT_yaVO3fkVbXB2nKLe6sWYWffFz9c7LGNihWzh3NhdA/s1600/IMG_0095.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
Can’t deny Fujifilm got their product design super attractive - Mini 7s is chubby cutie pie, and Mini 90 is a retro elegant gentleman.<br><br>
However the Mini Link 2 doesn’t have an attractive appearance, I really thought so during all the research and watching all the unbox videos. But… surprisingly I’m in love with this gadget the moment its physically held on my palm - IT’S SO CUTE. The printer is so small only a palm size! And the vertical stripe made it a good touch. This is seriously the first time getting an Instax product not for the sake of their appearance. <br />

So...let’s share something useful that may help you decide whether to get one. <br /><br />
<h2>Why get an Instax printer instead of camera?</h2>
This is what I find out after 10 years of owning Instax products:<br>
<ol>
<li>Bulky camera<br>
I always struggle to bring along the camera out for gathering or holiday. It’s too clumsy even it’s adorable (extremely adorable). Most of the time it's used only during home gathering.
</li>
<li>Everyone want it the moment you showoff your camera<br>
HAHA. I’m sorry to mention but let’s be honest. Instax film is expensive, around S$1 per shot. The moment you expose your Instax camera, you must expect to take and give photos for almost everyone in the gathering. Do the imagination and the math. To be honest I will request one too because Instax film itself is interesting and meaningful to place on a desk or in a wallet.
</li>
<li>Prefer a digital copy<br>
Most of the time the photos taken via Instax camera are too nice to have 2nd shot via a phone. Which I do always wish that I can share photos to friends and family or social media.
</li>
<li>Trial and error to get a success photo<br>
Every Instaxer encountered fail photo shot, the results is unknown until the Fujifilm photo fully rendered. I’ve played for 1 hour to test Mini 90 double exposure feature with 6 failure shots. By using printer, you can choose the photo to print and even edit before printing.
</li>
</ol>
<br>
<h2>Why choose Instax Printer instead of photo printer?</h2>
The reason is quite simple & obvious.<br>
<ol>
<li>Do not have to get color ink cartridge. By using Instax, the film itself is technologically ready for any colors. You just need to get an official film instead of different colors for printing a photo. </li>
<li>The polaroid film design with white border is having unlimited potential, you can write on it, draw on it to decorate like a photo frame. </li>
</ol>
<br>
<h2>Printing quality</h2>
Personally I’m not a professional photographer, I use Instax to turn memorable moment into a decoration on my desk. Here is a little bit of discrepancies you needs to expect when photo printing via camera vs a digital printing via Instax printer:<br>
<ol>
<li>The controlled and balance brightness<br>
Fujifilm camera flash is strong and auto in few models, most of the time it made your face look much whiter and shining (and much pretty maybe?), the flash also might cause a light reflection if you are wearing specs, and the area that not reaching by the flash will appears darker which causing the photo looks dull and imbalance. However by using digital printing, the brightness can be edited as you prefer. </li>
<li>The missing details<br>
The photo taking from camera itself is sharper, but the contour is slightly blur when it’s from printer, maybe because the digital copy is too high quality? Also it’s not recommended for photos that having a lot of details example a mountain scene or sky panorama, big no no no. It’s much more suitable for close photos like selfie, or 1-4 person close up photos.</li>
</ol>
<br>
<h2>Regret getting this Instax printer? </h2>
Since cameras might not fully utilized as shared above, this would be the best decision for Instaxer. Getting this Mini Link 2 is a best choice, I can now take photo with phone and print the preferred one to place on my working desk. Definitely no regret, best buy for 2023! <br><br>
