At first I thought today's one sole outlet could be fast cleared. Damn the fellow arrived at about 9:30 AM only start working. And reached home at 12 noon. Uhh pain I bleedingly hurt my own right toe from the trolley. After quick lunch, I went to the grumpy room, deposited Galla tenancy agreement and verified that Power of Attorney was there what a relief. Soon I will need it for our vehicles. I was planning to withdraw it next time, along with photostat it then deposit it again within the same day.
In the evening, I finally dragged myself to visit the dentist in BMC. After examination I was relieved I didn't have tooth decay. I got quite some stains everywhere. Abrasion at both my lower left and lower right "tiger tooth". The reason I felt pain at my backside big teeth was because they were cracked, not decayed. Dentist advised me to not eat hard stuff, if it's guava make sure to cut to smaller pieces. I learnt that my wisdom tooth for both my upper left and upper right were out of gum now. I got my 2 lower "tiger tooth" patched. They advised me to not brush hard so to better maintain these patches. Also got my teeth cleaned of stains.
At night I finally got over my procrastination and started preparing my winter melon barley. Unfortunately, the scratchy rough skinned honey melon that dad chose was far from ripe. A lot of its greener harder parts were mixed into my winter melon until no more space for barley. Palm Walk here I could only hear fire cracker for around 15 mins then all gone quiet. While prepping, came an adult cockroach taking its most peaceful stroll at the park approaching my cutting board. I made it regret its fatal mistake with a plastic bag nearby.
Last day of work before next year, eh... wait, hold on, still got 1 more day to go to unload goods at Port Dickson tomorrow. Today morning was seriously Monday blue blue very blue. Woke up knowing tomorrow stock take. Drizzling at home. While rain getting heavier the more I closed in. And the thought of some people still on holiday so road gotta be easier to go. I purposely took my time and so departed at about 6:20 AM. Indeed the road was better than usual. I reached at 7:40 AM and I was no. 1 in queue. What da! Where was everybody? And I left with 20 mins of getting quite bite and gotta go inside, .... while it was still raining damn. Haizz... luckily tomorrow just a single outlet at Port Dickson and all good and gone. As of writing I am waiting at home for dad's late night take-away fried chicken thigh from Perfect Three Food Court.
Today I tried out 3 spaghettis from Brew House in the span of 2 meals. Its Carbonara was absolutely making a killing! Mac and Cheese was good too but problem was its portion size. Then Bolognese was a little lacking. I really recommend getting its Carbonara! Don't miss! Also, its fried potato rings were good too!
Uhh dinner at nenek house then came home got another take-away zhap fan. Dad just didn't know how to read. And claimed he didn't see from message. Aunt Ying's randomly whipped up vege dish were already good imo. Healthy and tasty and I could't make them myself. And coming home I got a "rou gan" from Seremban as take home clap with bread meal add-on. Yee hee.
What boring day today waiting at Puspakom Cheras starting from 1:45 PM. As of time of writing I am still waiting at 4:26 PM. Expected time to finish is 6:30 PM anyway. In the morning, I devised my way of washing lorry. A very minimal water usage way without the need of the troublesome hose. A 3 buckets way. One bucket for detergent solution, the other one for clean water (near soap free), and the last for rinse in between. How? The first bucket is only for applying detergent. The 2nd bucket to provide near-soap-free water to rinse off detergent. The last bucket as a buffer in between so to clear the brush off detergent before rinsing it into the soap-free bucket.
I went to Ace solo today. Thinking of making a 2025 calendar section so I dun have to find calendar at Google next year. I wondered if got stock take in this coming few days to the end of financial year 2024. Wow I felt strangely satisfying looking at many categories in blog even if most of them were small sub section. The thought of filling them in really brought me indescribable joy.
At night, I shaved with shaving cream, legs, pubic, butt cheek and lower arms. It was a nice sensation with this cream. Now that I knew what works for me and what not - like the waxing strips. I hell hating waxing now! Screw it. Waxing caused much more in-grown due to removing hair from roots, then the whole skin becomes red, and would still have left-out hair that has to be manually tweezed afterwards. What a pain in the ass right. Speaking of ass, I finally shaved those disgusting butt hair. Do you ever have feces sticking around at butt hair after your main chunk dropped? It does right? It's so disgusting! Now with butt hair gone I could say bye bye to this situation, at least temporarily.
Uhh tomorrow I ain't going to Ace but have to go to Puspakom to get lorry inspected. What troublesome. めんどくせえ! Only good thing would be I don't have to wake up early tomorrow. But gotta remember to wash lorry in the morning and get its brake lamp fixed quick before going at afternoon.
At dinner, today I brought up to dad, his hand on the table and mine too side by side. Asked him to see what was different. He couldn't tell. I made him focus to finger, still couldn't tell. Then, I narrowed it down to fingernail, yet he still couldn't tell my manicure that I had done a few days ago. Actually until now no one could tell. Hehe. Glossy nails yet subtle!
Merry Xmas! I made myself quite a lunch with old red bean soup which I added a little bit of raw cane sugar it tasted a lot better than before. A new recipe oyster mushroom (stem) egg omelette, and steamed oyster mushroom and a mango gold susu as dessert. At evening, I brought over 7 mangoes to nenek house along with my cutting board, omni knife, thin long knife and peeler. Tested out the one of Aunt Ying's peelers that looked exactly the same as this mum's one. It was noticeably duller than mine though I doubted they even used it much on this reverse grip side that peels mango facing ourself rather than pushing outward the peeler. Clearly my peeler still worked wonder given this ripe enough mango. It was a delightful dessert enjoyed by all there, erm, except Teng, which I didn't know what time she coming home when I ate the last few slices. Cutting mango with own utensil at Aunt Ying's place was a new experience. I cut next to the washing-face sink. The place was narrow, even narrower than my house despite me already complaining how narrow my house's kitchen was. No wonder they place chopping board on the floor right. But I just couldn't bring myself to cut stuff on the floor. After finishing cutting mangoes there, damn I got bitten by some mosquitoes. Lucky I was done doing my stuff there. Heard from Aunt Kuan that mango is a hot tropical fruit that it is bad for cough, is it really? "Gat Zai" water that Aunt Ying made for me was very soothing indeed.
Uhh woke up to belly cramp whenever I coughed or sneezed. Lucky the pain in my throat had subsided a lot nearly no pain now. I wonder which outta the 4 medicine work wonder here - cough drink, antibiotic pill, inflammation pil and sore throat pill. The doctor said he prescribed the antibiotic due to over 5 days of unwell. I gotta keep this in mind.
I couldn't hold it anymore and went to see doctor in the morning at the clinic opposite 99. Quick and efficient there. About 4pm at the time of writing, my sore throat had dwindled by a lot. Still having phlegm and occasional fever. I was glad the doctor removed the medication for fever when I told him fever only occasionally and tested I wasn't feverish at that time.
I picked up the sloth and hanged dry the clothes that been washed yesterday evening. I cleaned the leftover rice in rice cooker that been kept from fridge for a while. Yuck it has spoiled. I cooked myself a baked cheese rice without leaving any extra rice from rice cooker to be kept in fridge this time. I cleaned the toilet nearly licking clean. Then in clean toilet I showered then groomed myself. All these despite having fever and sore throat. At night, just a Grab Food Hokkien mee from Seong Kee BMC.
So today sudden change of plan from loading up and went home straight to deliver 3 outlets first then only went home. In the middle rain started pouring down and I got wet from it. Coming home, feeling cold even after shower, I got mum's thermometer, yet it really was not working now. Even after changing to new batteries which I got from Mr DIY, it still showed the same problem where a lot of its "number ticks" were no longer working. Through deduction, I concluded that I was 38.x degree at that time. The remaining available number ticks for the first digit were top horizontal, top left vertical and bottom left vertical. While the more crucial 2nd number was left with top right vertical and middle horizontal only. So by deduction, only a middle horizontal meant 36.x degree, only a top right vertical meant 37.x degree, while both a middle horizontal and top right vertical meant 38.x degree (if 39.x I would have felt worse already).
Sis video called. I need to admit I wasn't in the best mood today, or had I ever been so? Lemme apologize over here. Part of me just wanted to look smug and tease you. But I was no kidding, annoyed that people came into call from nowhere and started talking non-stop. Look. I never barged into other people's call more than a minute. Greetings, no problem, but if the busy body wanna talk instead, why the f dun wait for your turn afterwards.
Cough cough. Guess my fever had gone down. Throat still a little painful. Skipped dinner with only 2 pieces of fruit tarts. I almost vomited twice just now from coughing this itchy throat. I could feel kiwi taste from throat that i previously had. A stomach full of water really did the worst to sore throat. Damn. To drink lots of water or to not drink.
I wondered if this font feels more casual which resembles the font from my phone too.
Went took away "zhap fan" at Uncle Lee in Mahkota Cheras with dad. So today I got 2 packs of rice and dish for myself. I was bursting and so rushed to the toilet upon reaching. Dad took a dish for me... it was a bitter gourd. At first it looked ok, but later at home eeew just hard to finish this dish. Lucky the rest of the dish I picked up myself - a steamed drum stick, a pumpkin dish, a "nai bak".
I started to fall ill from sore throat and spent 2 days off work. While at home, I mostly just slept and drank water and lazing with handphone. Feeling kinda need to clean both room and toilet soon too. Nevertheless, I got a leg session done which I was happy for. Denied one video call from sis at one of the night, more like I was already asleep by the time she messaged me I wondered what could have been the call for.
I solo went to work today and later found out I got sore throat at noon fk. Maybe cuz yesterday I ate 4x fried eggs, 2 pieces of muruku, sotong bakar and not enough water throughout the day. I wasn't sure if eating red bean soup exacerbate the throat soreness as I felt a little irritation at throat both this time and the one a week ago which I didn't have sore throat a week ago. Sigh... 2nd trip today gonna cost me traffic jam going home at ultra peak hour. I wonder what Xmas gift sis want. And if can ship over there and how... What about what gift I want. If it is buyable over here, what's the point I asking sis to buy hmm. Ugh scratching head.
Today nearly 24 hours past the time of my shave yesterday, now I am safe to say no irritation from belly nor pubic area. Yay! Tired at night no played much game.
A lazy Sunday. At night I try to do all grooming steps at once - from exfoliate, to wet shave with cream, to IPL, to moisturizing. It felt so good to have smooth leg (if touch along grain only). Also, after shaving leg, I shaved my belly and pubic hair too along grain. Well not too bad though I didn't do anything extra like exfoliate nor moisturize them yet no irritation this time. I wonder why last time it hurt so bad using the electric razor without guard. Was it heat from the electric razor that caused burn? And was it dry shave or against grain last time on leg that caused irritation?
Early came home after 2 easy outlets in the morning. At home, I reorganize a little bit. I took this sunny morning day to quickly wash my cloth and dad's. Hopefully had enough sun for my bed sheet too or worse tomorrow. Also, I folded the clothes that was scattered on dad's bed. This sure felt once in a blue blue moon. I didn't know what motivated me to do so today.
Uhh mosquito bits in the arm and leg were pain in the butt. I came home earlier than dad. I was happy dad took away "zhap fan" dinner home along the way. Yet night time I was getting sleepy and didn't play a lot.
Lmao today, while waiting at Ace, I researched the Sailor Mars' iconic mantra. It is called Kuji-in apparently. This chant is made up of nine syllables: Rin (臨), Pyō (兵), Tō (闘), Sha (者), Kai (皆), Jin (陣), Retsu (列), Zai (在), Zen (前). I can still clearly remember how it was chanted in Cantonese like it was still playing in my head til today.
Hmm. Tomorrow dad isn't going to be tagging along. All good easy outlets tomorrow quite chill. After that just gonna load up goods pray easy outlets as well.
Long time no eat "shi da tian wang" lemme get one from behind 99. As of writing, it is not yet served hopefully okish at least. I am getting hungry now. Just now at home I barely did any fun things all were work stuff until now. Phew later gonna have quick shower and grooming then boot up Infinity Nikki and enjoy I can't wait.
Nvm I was too lazy so skipped shaving at night, only brushed teeth and moisturized face so far zzz.
Today felt like a Sunday for it is holiday off work today. I got up early in the morning and made myself a red bean beverage with coconut milk and 3 bowls of water. I guessed a pack of this coconut milk wasn't enough or my 3 bowls of water just too much, or this red bean just wasn't suitable for it - tasted too bland. Afaik I wasn't using those big red bean for ABC. At least I tried making... Still not satisfactory. Today was a good day gaming in my newly found game - Infinity Nikki. I couldn't wait to play more, still got lots to explore.
So, today I am trying to set 日 / 月 / 火 / 水 / 木 / 金 / 土 as day to see how it feels. I wonder if sis able to tell what these Chinese characters mean in this context over here. After I finished delivering 3 outlets leftover from yesterday, I brought lorry to check for the brake malfunctions. While I spent time waiting here doing my site, this place sure is teeming with blood sucking mosquitoes. Damn itchy despite how many times I apply mosquito repellant oil. Uhh when is it going to be done, as of time of writing it was 2:35 PM. I was getting tired from working on lappy plus it was getting low on battery. It had been about 2 hours of continuous usage after all. Time to sit back and enjoy some YouTube I guess.
Weirdly today Yoke Wan was packed with people waiting to be served. Not wanting to wait, we changed to behind 99. Night time light drizzle felt quite refreshing despite making feet sandy after going outside. Sitting on toilet bowl while listening to the rain drop on roof was surprisingly quite relaxing. If only I got a better place to sit clean and close to the window facing outside.
Sun. The moment I woke up at around 7:30 AM today, something already ticked me off. For dad asked me to hang out clothes from the washing machine. Wait, hear it, lemme tell you why I was annoyed. I had found out all he washed (washing machine) was his own clothes. My bucket there was untouched! I didn’t give a damn and went back to sleep while annoyingly telling him to do it himself. At least he got mine into the machine afterward.
About why I chose to eat mantou at night. Around 6:45 AM, dad came to my room straight out asking if I had already showered. What bothered me was I could feel a tone of tempered hostility from the voice. Annoyed, I firmly said no. Then, at about 7:30 PM, he came again asking but this time bringing along a drunk cat kinda smelled from his mouth. I knew nothing could be better in this situation for I knew far too many times that after drinking, that would only further escalate the unfriendly tone in his voice. Again, simple, no. I was not too keen on eating out in the first place for I was busy playing a new game today and then being slammed with his lousy setup today, hell no. I figured if I had waited til like 9PM and gone out by myself to eat, it wouldn't make sense, so I gotta find something to eat from home.
At this point dad was making food for himself at home. Annoyance never ended. Despite knowing he got good intentions, I was still annoyed. From offering me kopi O for soaked in “soh dah” biscuit, half boiled egg. What da hell! Was he forgotten or just didn’t give a damn to my words. He should have known I can’t drink coffee at night, hated “soh dah” biscuit, hated eating half boiled egg at night, by now. I hated Kopi O too but this one was forgivable as I had never made it clear I don’t prefer kopi O. I know I know, I should have been grateful even if being shoveled with my least comfortable options. I was bad no?
Sat. Came home earlier today from Aeon Big DC and then serviced lorry in Chan Sow Lin. Just as seen from Google Map, Tuck Meng indeed opened at 9:30 AM. Ding dong ding dong only finished service at 11:30 AM. Then, I rushed home to behing 99, thinking of trying white chicken drumstick. Unfortunately it is sold out as early as 12 AM. I took away white chicken thigh instead.
After lunch, I quickly cleared some paperworks from work and packed my winter melon barley from the pot in fridge into a mug. All the winter melon skin pieces in there were filtered out and eaten by me while I was doing paperwork. They served as my snack. Though they don’t taste very good due to rough texture, I was glad for its fiber and nutrients. No car, so I drove to nenek house in lorry, with the mug being placed in a plastic bag and then tighten up. Heard from aunt ying there was a mild spillage due to no rubber band on top. I didn’t see it myself as I was busy getting into the toilet upon arrival there. I checked later but everything seems fine to me anyway. Hell now my home was running low on rubber bands too.
Then, I took this opportunity to visit a bunch of xiangqi-playing uncles in the neighbourhood beside The Mines. It was quite nice to be able to play with real life people even if I was being bested. This shows there was still lots to be enjoyed from the game. My complaints were about this hut - it was way too hellishly hot in this damn evening I couldn’t stop sweating and had to constantly readjust my seat due to varying positions of shadow from the sunset.
Around 6PM, I went back to nenek house. Unsurprisingly they were still playing mahjong. I had noticed for the past few times I been here in the evening, they claimed to have been playing from day til then. Sigh… I just couldn’t understand the appeal.
Fri. Woke up and ughh damn I fell asleep early yesterday night at about 9PM lazing on bed. Luckily I had managed to get winter melon barley cooked and mangoes cut earlier for dad to enjoy. In the morning dad told me he placed the winter melon barley into fridge at 12AM that I had left it cooling on the table, claiming it had finished cooling. As far as I know, the surface should be cool, but what worried me was the inside center position of that pot was still warm. I just hoped nothing damaging been done to our fridge. Damn it really got me worried over potential silly mistake.
As of time of writing, 3:21 PM here, I want to get my legs shaved tonight as of planned for yesterday. Wait, what else I had planned to do. There was one specific phrase from Rong Rong from Soul Land anime that I had found really catchy and had wanted to use as phone notification for a long time but I was too damn lazy to search for it. Also, heard Infinity Nikki has got a very good atmosphere and review from its debut yesterday. I gotta get it booted up soon I am so excited.
Toilet washed cleared! I wonder why after every toilet cleaned the floor is usually drier after using. Finally I can have a more enjoyable shaving session in a cleaner toilet in the coming days.
Thu. A quiet morning of me going to Ace alone. Welp I was feeling a little guilty waking up in the morning for not sticking to my habit to moisturize face before sleeping even though I tell myself to. I procrastinated til I ended up falling asleep before doing. At least I got my teeth brushed yesterday night. And also I moisturized in the morning instead, better than none I guessed. The saying goes "Old habits die hard".
Wed. Came home a little earlier today. Phew. I was excited for this upcoming game launching tomorrow called Infinity Nikki. Currently downloading as of time of writing. About my skin care, it was turn to exfo today. Also, I finally got my ass to use Veet hair removal cream on my armpit. It was a miracle! No after burning so far as of writing. Even if there was slight irritation, it was very mild that I could barely notice. I didn't know if I was being insensitive from last event of razor burning on abdomen due to using my electric razor there without inch guard and going in both back and forth direction. Currently only did left armpit so far as right armpit had a nasty pimple popped in shower. Maybe I shall get it cleared after dinner when the wound had sealed up. Besides, I really wanna hear what my "avid reader" would say about this current color theme of pastel purple, pastel pink, pastel yellow, wine red and black. Hopefully I would be told not too soon from now.
Tue. A tiring day. Long time no brush teeth at night and today was once in a blue blue moon for doing so. There must have been a series of bad luck to my left shin. At the place where I had hurt my leg during dad's ass unilateral sparring in which now had healed, I hurt it twice on the same day (2nd Nov). One during work hurt by a carton of 1L. 2nd was at home later by my barbell now that I had it placed beside bed.
Mon. Due to last week stock take, we as transporters, were told to go in at 10 AM. So, as of time of writing, I was still in nearby McD, working, relaxing, enjoying AC, and you know it blogging. Not to my surprise there was quite some people who sat around same as me with a laptop. I wished I could find a power outlet here if there was any available freely to be used.
For every theme in Google Site like this one, there was 3 styles, until now I had only been using Style one and Style 3, I wondered when would I touch Style 2. Today, I added 2 sections, one is called "Funny as 💩" while the other one was "🧐 Oddly Intriguing". Uhh I still wanna quickly filled up my Xmas songs section. And let's not forget to trim finger nail and toe nail tonight.
Evening, I added page skeleton for Alcohol and Cheese too while hungry, munching on my Alfredo dark chocolate.
Sun. I spent most day time sleeping today. Sleepy. A typical char siew siu yuk rice as lunch take away at behind 99. When I arrived, I didn't know where to queue as I saw 2 lines. I simply followed behind 2 old grey to white haired aunties in front of me aka the shorter line. After a while, two more persons came behind and asked for where the queue was, haha, I answered I didn't know either. Seeing the other line, a guy in it, politely said was there, and we 3 moved along behind him, leaving the auntie solely remaining in this line as one had done and left. The two even offered me a place in front of them as we moved behind the other queue as I had arrived before them. I was glad no unwanted dumb conflict occurred despite this confusion. Weirdly how today, where I was in my usual white tee plus two paper-binder rings cinched at waist asymmetrically that I just learnt, an orange hem dolphin shorts, slipper and handbag, was getting a confused look "up and down" from the lady who asked where the queue was. Yet I felt a sense of non-judgmental neutrality from her. This somehow made my day for I know I was dressing and looking stylish casually.
At night, this was the day to shave. I had decided to follow a routine for my legs of Exfoliate -> Shave along grain -> IPL -> Do nothing -> Repeat. And moisturize every day after shower. In the morning if only has irritation. Ouch due to shaving in a hurry, I made a small cut on my right leg without knowing until after shower where I saw a small blood clot. This better served as a lesson to never rush in a shave even if it be along the grain.
Strangely for face, the one night cream that sis bought, felt more tolerable even if greasy now. Perhaps it was due to I was accustomed to even greasy moisturizer on my legs. So this really felt pale in comparison. Not sure if it was illusion or anything, I felt that my face seems little better. I didn't know how to describe it but just felt a little better after I been trying my best to religiously apply both the night cream and water gel alternatively. Is this just purely a self-care that my lazy ass should have been doing, or a femboi embracing mode, be it better or worse, I will leave it to my reader to decide. I don't care anymore.
