与妻分享的成长路

Yesterday is a tough day as I have not slept enough.  Not doing things efficiently.  Should avoid to play game at midnight.

It is wonderful that I am able to watch the movie "Alita: Battle Angel" with my wife the night before Valentine day.  The arrangement is impromptu and really thanks for mother in law to always tolerate this kind of arrangement and take care of two children. The movie shows off the state of the art of Computer Graphics (CG) and animations especially on the mixture of CG with reality. There are quite a number of scenes which surprises me how delicate the CG could be, especially finger movement and during Alita is put back to body designed for her. Happy that I did not miss the chance to see this movie with my wife in the cinema.

It is an impromptu decision to participate in TransferWise Coding Contest #2 on 12 Feb 2019.  However, since the contest is at Aperia and eday is paid, it is motivating for me to experience a different kind of events. Initially, I thought that the contest is related to drone.  I found out on the spot that they are using HackerRank. TransferWise offers services to send money in converted currency to another account. This is a smart way for them to organize the event and achieve multiple purposes, eg. advertising their services, recruitment, train the staff for organizing the events. The 2 questions are not hard.  However, due to lack of practice, I am unable to resolve any questions in 1.5 hours.  I am only resolved on the next day by spending additional 1.5 hours.  However, there are guys who resolved 2 questions in about 30 minutes.  This prompts me that I need to practice more if algorithm is the direction I want to focus. Forget to mention, pizza, chicken wing, apple and
