It happen so quick that no one has the time to get ready for this!
Last weekend, I went to Kuchning to find some dealer on post card printing and signboard to be made. Saturday morning, with all kind of excitement, I went back Sibu by boat, I was surprise to see the river level when the boat entering Sibu coast.
The whole Sibu is like an underwater World now. Roundabout became an island, you wouldn’t know where is the corner, unless you drive around daily to know the routine.
I am, finally stucked at home again. The last time I encounter flood in Sibu was 2007, after that I did not go back that frequent, and now I thought of permanently staying in Sibu, it happen again!
Well, like usual, people started to complaint about government this and government that… I hope the newly elected MP of Sibu can handle those complaints, as it is now become he who did not work but not the previous one 
Get some education you moron Sibuan, stop dumping and logging to make a living…
Sound to me like SMC (Sibu Municipal Council) is getting more stingy, or overly corrupted nowadays.
A few days ago, they carried a road upgrade work on my resident area without notice, without help.
A lot of residents here are shock paniced with the surprise work SMC brought in, and did not called to extend our bridge. We all here have to spend money building a new one, which SMC just whipping their arse and leave.
But the story doesn’t end there. Today they came again to apply tar onto it, after almost a week! However, due to their overly clever engineer and accountant, that is all they can “afford”
The rest are on our own, again! Means, we resident here is going to need to spend our money for their upgrading work again.
Yes, local election is needed!
Both may be in different field, but they are somehow, mixed together, like all other field.
Time to re-think before reply
The good thing I find being a freelancer at home is, I can rant first then reply. As a contractor, I need to reply in real-time, no hassle. I find myself stuck in the middle of conversation sometimes. Maybe I’m just a slow in replying.
Sitting is better than standing
When the project is over 70%, it became critical. I spent a few days, from morning to evening, watching over the site while I was a contractor. Details are all over the place and I have to find out where. While working from home, with a screen, I’ll just sit there and look around the monitor, at best 20 inches wide.
Inch, foot, mm and pixel
It’s all about the right length and right size. I’ve been greatly dealing with inch, foot and mm again. Sometimes it is inch, sometimes it become foot and sometimes, even mm. Count and keep counting on the site. I still prefer web version of length – Pixel.
Lastly, I notice, I don’t like people, I like machine more. I need dual diagnosis to rehab and have a treatment at the same time. Time to adjust back…
Recently I posted about me joining another field, and since it was coming to an end soon. So I thought to myself, things should coming down slow and easy. Suddenly, today is a total mess! Been quite sometimes stressed up with this field, even weight loss dietary supplement wouldn’t work that good on my diet. Notice a 2KG different already…
Trust is just a word, it mean nothing after all. I should have learnt it before. Look around, those who talk the most, normally are the one who do the less. I normally like to hooked up with family then friends instead of stranger (now you wonder why so many corruption cases?). So, I hooked up with a friend, who is not that well but long lost. Talked as if he has all the idea about my project. I insist on having a progress check but he refused and told me that they are fine with him and nothing going to go wrong.
Things get pretty nasty currently… And we are (luckily and hopefully) going to solve it…
But giving the full authority for a guy to handling a project. Neh…
After a short jogging in the park and had the best protein powders, I think it does make a mind clearer and easier to think. Once I came back home, the first work I started is to re-write / correcting my framework’s CSS.
One CSS file
I find it quite troublesome sometimes when I need to edit some CSS and it happen to be on another file. The solution, to compress all I can on space and tab, minimal the need of ID or CLASS if possible.
Unique ID and CLASS
Previously I thought to have a hierarchy by doing like this:
#content {}
#content .post {}
#content .post .post-title {}
When the list going long, it’s getting more complicate to even look at it. I re-write most CLASS so they are unique in the style sheet.
Get rid of !important rewrite
I use Erik Meyer CSS reset. Somehow, it reset the background to white, while I’m working with 2 CSS files, I would just use the rewrite rule instead of open the reset style sheet and edit it 
Too lazy I guess, and that’s why one CSS is enough.
I’m still looking into the style sheet to see if there is anything I can do. Working too much with CSS, so it has to be so damn easy for me to edit next!
