Amazon Delivery

I am so impressed.  At 1:53 PM, I check the status of the package I ordered from Amazon and I see the following:

😃 Wow...  How could an online store beat delivery companies like USPS, UPS and Fedex in their own game?

Wait...  Let me check if the package has arrived.  And of course!  I turned the box so the label wouldn't show.


I use Amazon to check the products.  I use Amazon to do last minutes gift shopping.  I use Amazon to buy items that are otherwise difficult to locate at stores.  It's time saving, and hence life saving.

I am sure Amazon would like me to do more, like access their digital contents.  For now, I am satisfied with this distance relationship, no desire to be more entrenched with a company.

Fitbit Customer Service

Most of you probably have encountered endless waiting in line, being put on hold forever when face with customer service representatives.  Sometimes the ending was good, they solved your problem and perhaps went way and beyond your expectation.  Sometimes somehow we lost the patience and gave up, or the phone somehow got disconnected.  Sometimes, you get serviced, but the result was totally not what you have expected.  😞 I will be talking about the later. Two (three?!) years ago, I ran out of time and idea for Christmas presents for the near and dears.  In the end, I got everyone a Fitbit, a fitness tracking watch.  I heard good things about it, cheaper than Apple watch (& I don't have iPhone), and it was available at Costco.  I couldn't believe it, but my husband and I, whom do not wear watch, have been wearing the watch since. The merry story became even more promising, after it gave me a three month free-trial for Fitbit premium.  Since it...

Interview Disaster

Update 11/18/2020 - my windows got re-installed... 11/03/2020 It would never happen to me. How could it be? I have been preparing for this. I have been waiting for this. Then, it happened to me. On this unforgettable Monday, Murphy's laws - whatever can go wrong, will go wrong - came true and true. I have gone through two phone interviews with a company. At 1 PM, there was a video interview scheduled for 2 hours, with 3 people. I knew it’s the last stage. I am this close. I tried to soak up as much React, a web front end language as much as possible for this day. Disaster struck #1: The day before, I got a phone call from my sister that my dad was in a motorcycle accident. All of his left side is scratched up. I spent two hours in the morning with my dad, my mom, and my sister to better assess the situation before the interview. I am upset that I wasn’t there to help and that he didn’t call anyone for help at the scene. Disaster struck #2: It’s almost 1 PM. I made sure ...

Breville BES870XL vs BES920XL

  I love coffee.  Well, let me take it back.  I like to drink coffee, but I am in no way a coffee connoisseur and I definitely don't demand using fresh coffee beans only.  In fact, to "save money", if I am to buy coffee at Starbucks, I always get a venti size and refrigerate or microwave coffee if I couldn't finish it in time, which is, almost always the case. I believe I started drinking coffee around end of high school, university time.  In the cold weather, I like to hold something warm and hip something warm constantly.  Sounds like what most people would like to, right?  Right.  The only drawback is the frequent, very frequent visits to washroom.  😨 So much so I believe I secretly hold the Guinness world record of most washroom visits for any human beings. In 2011, I bought a second hand DeLonghi Magnifica 3500 Espresso Machine on a Craigslist for 400 USD.  It worked hard and it worked well.  Unfortunately, after being wi...
