Return of iPhone SE

A month ago, I returned my iPhone SE. You might be wondering why it took so long. It is interesting because I only received it today. The device was returned twice because the seller sent the wrong model. I like the new device simply because everything works as it should. For the past month, I was living with my old iPhone 6s, and it wasn’t great. The battery life was bad even if the battery health is still decent....

One day, I want the iPhone to be like a desktop but first, Type C is required....

Reminiscence ~ 8 years of programming

8 years ago in Singapore, I went to the post office with my guardian to pick up my parcel from Beijing. It had several things in it and the most important thing was the C Primer Plus book. I had been waiting for a few weeks. 8 years later in Sydney, programming is now my career. This is something I couldn’t imagine when I started programming 8 years ago. Today marks the 8th anniversary of programming....
