13/12/2017 - Day 2 at the Hospital

13/12/2017 – Day 2 at the Hospital

A few days before the operation, we informed both our parents not to visit after the operation. I insisted for no visitors because Jasmin gets all stressed up and entertains whoever is visiting. She should be resting. Anybody can come visit once she is back home.

I made a mistake by saying that Jasmin’s parents might be the ones insisting to drop by. Today, my whole family decided to visit. I…

12/12/2017 - Operation Day

12/12/2017 – Operation Day

Last night, Jasmin and I went to the bedroom a little bit earlier than usual because Jasmin was scheduled for an operation the next day. So, we just chilled and relaxed on the bed. Both of us weren’t really sleepy. Jasmin said to me that she didn’t realised the bed was so comfortable. I told her that it is because we take the bed for granted. We normally would just tuck ourselves into bed and go…

06/12/2017 - Christmas Gift

06/12/2017 – Christmas Gift

My department allocated RM30 per person as a christmas gift. I suggested for everyone to buy their own presents. I hate receiving useless gifts. So, I got myself a GP AA/AAA USB charger.

I tested it with some of my rechargeable batteries. It says “8 hours for full charge”. I’ve been charging the same pair of batteries for almost 16 hours now. The charger doesn’t seem to stop charging the…

02/12/2017 – Kimchi… 

Jasmin and I went for an early movie yesterday. The show started at 12.05pm. The cinema had upgraded their menu with more food items recently. Either that or Jasmin and I haven’t been to the cinema for a very long time. Jasmin was considering the nuggets, or nachos, or the currypuff. She couldn’t make up her mind because everything is overpriced. We could get twice the amount of nuggets from the…

29/11/2017 – Switching Lanes

While I was on my way to work this morning, I came across many egoistic drivers. These drivers will speed up the moment they see you turning on your indicator to switch lanes (although there’s ample space in front of them) just so they can be ahead of you. One in particular, prevented me from getting onto his lane by driving faster after he saw my intention to switch lanes. That’s fine because I…

28/11/2017 – Fish Heaven

My fighting fish died today. What a way to start a post in my journal after a long break.

At least he is in a happier place…I’d like to think so.

It feels like many fishes have died under my care.

All of them must be bitchin’ about me in fish-heaven now.

26/05/2017 – Beetle

I was walking to my office and I saw a beetle on its back.

I think it couldn’t flip over because it was wiggling his arms and legs around.

I ignored it and continued walking. After 2 steps forward, I thought about how it would be like if I was that beetle.

Then I turned back and flipped the beetle over.

19/05/2017 – Snacks

At my new workplace, almost everybody brought snacks to work to be passed around. There’s all sorts of junkfood.

I wanted to bring some food to munch for my own consumption. I didn’t want to share. So I brought the most boring and unwanted snack I could think of.

17/05/2017 - Jasmin's Birthday

17/05/2017 – Jasmin’s Birthday

Today is Jasmin’s birthday. We took a drive to the mall.

We had Korean food for lunch. My meal didn’t look as elaborated as hers.

Then we went home.

I didn’t get Jasmin a birthday present because she told me not to waste money.

I’m so lucky.

I spent my day with Golli today.

I fed her some fish.

Then we watched Everybody Loves Raymond on television together.

08/05/2017 – UAT

I have been assigned to do the User Acceptance Test (UAT) for the upcoming loan system. They must have thought that the nerdy guy would be the best person to do it. I guess it is a different working experience. I get to escape from my usual and mundane daily tasks temporarily.

But I still to go through the morning traffic jams.

I still have to reach my workstation by 8.45am…or else.

At…

06/05/2017 - In a Nutshell

06/05/2017 – In a Nutshell

I realised that I have very limited free time in a day. Jasmin has been busy with work while I have been busy with the house chores. I didn’t even have much time to update my journal. I wonder if it was because I started playing Mortal Kombat X on my phone.

07/04/2017: I hopped on the plane to Bangkok to meet up with Jasmin. The passanger seated next to me assumed he had full rights to the…

04/04/2017 – In Bed by 10pm

I think I have not been getting enough sleep for the past few days. So I told Jasmin that I was going to have a simple early dinner, get some stuff done, and be in bed by 10pm.

I had a bowl of instant noodles with 2 eggs for dinner.

Then I took a quick shower.

Then I submitted my income tax.

Then I packed my luggage for my short trip.

I had a video call with Jasmin until 11.30pm.

Then…

02/04/2017 – Emptiness

I had to bring my fighting fish over to my parents’ house to be taken care of for a couple of days. I took him out from his aquarium and packed up his aquarium.

Golli was curious when she saw me setting up the aquarium.

Then I went back to the condo and did the laundry.

The condo felt empty without the fighting fish.

24/03/2017 - 7 Hours of Waiting

24/03/2017 – 7 Hours of Waiting

I brought my car to the workshop this morning to get the brake cylinders replaced. I bought the spare part online. Most of the car workshops here don’t seem to carry spare parts for European cars.

The mechanic said it might take awhile because he didn’t have the tool to remove the brake drum. He managed to get another workshop to deliver the tool which should arrive after lunch.

Jasmin…

20/03/2017 – Brake Cylinder

I know driving with a leaking brake is like bungee jumping without a rope. But I had to go to work…because I work in a bank.

I gave 100% of my attention to the bank and finished all my work by 4pm.

Then I went online and compared prices of brake cylinders for my car.

18/03/2017 – Brake Fluid Leak

I got under my car today. I was trying to find out where my brake fluid wass leaking from.

It was leaking through the brake on my rear right wheel.

That’s gona be another hassle.
