mayday mayday

It’s almost the end of May!! I record all of my expenses, so I roughly spent about a little over half of my salary this month. That includes my moving out expense.   Just to share that our water bill was minimum at RM10 – our condo rates, electric was <RM20 for the entire month. I think mainly because we did not turn on the air-cond and we only had 1 small refrigerator and 1 multifunction kettle.   I’m not used to using a/c when I sleep and he’s fine with the temperature so.   It’s quite cooling la so far because our unit isn’t directly facing the Sun. We only got a little sunlight before noon from the farrrr left. It’s both good and bad. Good because it won’t be very hot. Bad because our clothes hardly dry if the weather’s cloudy/rains the whole day. T_T   There’s no washing machine so most of our free time at home are spent doing chores haha. But Saturday will be our laundry day la so Friday nights will be free from washing and then we’ll throw...

welcome to ma crib

 I moved out!!!!!!!!!!   Now staying in a small studio with my partner.   Honestly it wasn't a spur of the moment kinda thing, we actually wanted to move in together since monthssssssssssssssss back so we kinda look for places. I originally wanted somewhere in Phileo Dsara or S17 area and we went to the rooms for viewing, they had pretty cheap master bedroom and it's a good location between both of our workplaces but decided against it because we don't feel comfortable sharing bathrooms with strangers haha.   So we decided to rent at Youcity instead which is just 5 mins walk away from my house and 20 mins drive away from his HAHAHAHA. Fuck. I originally was against the idea of living so close to my parents' but ok forget it let's just move here since it's within our budget and we can go back whenever.   It's a very small studio which is non-furnished. So we bought a lot of stuffs, the most expensive one is probably the mattress which we got f...

got my health checked

 Story time! For those who haven't apply for a medical insurance yet, please do so ok we're going to be 30 soon and our body is aging although you can deny it mentally but do not joke with your own health ok. WELL. I was supposed to go back to office on Wednesday after a long CNY holiday, but I was feeling really dizzy. It started in the morning but I thought it's just like y'know, a one time off feeling when you stand up too fast after you lied down. But it continued for the entire freaking day so I thought ok maybe I just didn't have the mood to go back to work after a long break lol or maybe I didn't have enough sleep. I was still dizzy the next day!!! So I finally went to the clinic after lunch. Purposely avoided the panel clinic because they had a history of being very strict with giving out MCs hahahaha. Got my blood test done and got an MC for the rest of the day. So I took the meds and went home. My results showed that I have very low iron and possibly t...

CUZ I'M WEAK

found a new band that I'm in love with. I didn't know they're the band behind 'Soul' trailer lol I mean I knew Overture was by AJR but I didn't connect the dots until their other songs came up again in my Youtube recommendations. Omg. So good. ------------------------------------------------------- Happy Chinese New Year! A little too late to wish this but whatever. Unfortunately Corona hasn't gone yet so we can't go back to Ipoh but fortunately my family are all still residing in KL. So they all came back for lunch on eve and so my family itself already 5 people kan + 3 partners + 1 monster so like 8 adults dah. We had no pork steamboat for lunch and the portion was surprisingly ngam ngam ho for the first time lol. It's usually too much kan because y'know, steamboat mah. Usually we'll use the normal square Ikea table + another foldable table to fit the 8 of us. Later at night my sister said we should get a new table because our existing tabl...

A recap of 2020

Image
 HAPPY NEW YEAR! It's 2021 now! and I'm 25 now! Holy fuck now! As always, a recap of last year. Global Issues Well. Covid happened. So..................... there goes everything. Career I am slowly losing my mind and patience over everything hahahahaha. I swear developers are a pain in the ass. Everything they want is always ASAP or tomorrow, whichever faster -.-. I have a pretty good superior but my office can be quite political because of this Leo guy who acts worse than a woman on menopause.. My superior is a good person and good worker in general but I'm not very comfortable about her ability to juggle work and kids hahahaha Idk la I'm probably biased because my mom's a full time housewife.   I look at her and she's stressed and struggling to hold her shit together and then she goes back and still has to be a good mother and raise her 2 kids and I'm not sure where or how she releases all the pent-up stress. Probably accidentally sliced her kids sometimes...

I'm not sure if this pandemic has changed my life for the better or worse (considering that I did not get infected) I can't work from home. Which sucks but my heart is quite balanced now since they just restored back my salary but kept the working time to 9am-4.30pm just like during MCO although the engineers still work until 5pm~6pm ish anyway because work can never finish. I'm usually done with my job by 4.30pm but I still have to wait for my superior because it doesn't feel right haha (fuck Asian culture) On the bright side I'm usually home by 7pm. But I can't work out or go to the gym like I used to, so I had to resort in waking up 20 minutes earlier everyday so I could do a light workout before I get ready for work. It's not the best because I want to sleep more but I also feel guilty for sitting on a chair for freaking 16 hours daily. I still commute to work because I want to bring everyone down with me since I can't work from home hehehehe. I stil...

 My salary! Just got restored! After like what, half a year? I'm not sure if it will still be maintained with the current CMCO or such. So. At least I'm still employed I guess. This covid thing sucks. It's been half a year but no signs of improvement (thank you, politics) and in fact the cases are actually a lot worse than before but at least half of us are now following SOPs. There are sooooooo many cases surrounding my office lol.  An apartment just 5 mins walk away from my office had like 20+ cases. The fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk. But money > life so unfortunately my mindset has changed from I don't want to die so early to yes please infect me so I can get excused for 2 weeks. Is it just me or is blogger no longer gif-friendly as it used to be when I could have just CTRL+C AND CTRL+V previously and now I have to go to the HTML freaking view??!?!? Or maybe I'm just old and hate learning to adapt HAHAHAH. There are soooooooooo many casessssssssssssss. This sucksss...

renovation ah renovation

Bad week baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad week. I got yelled at on the phone because of these aggressive/impatient owners who wanted to do renovation works but I told them they cannot do it without our endorsed letter. 2 different owners yelling for at least 15 minutes what the f. I put down my phone to take a deep breath and drink some water lol.  "THE CONTRACTORS ARE HERE ALREADY!! WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO?! I PAID SO MUCH FOR THE CONDO NOW I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!! WHY DO I NEED YOUR APPROVAL?! NOW I HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER RM500! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TIME I WASTED?!?" F U C K K K K K K K E R. You are also wasting my precious working time by holding me for 30 minutes listening to your lecture then you blame me for being slow. Those are our shear walls you're hacking!!!!!!!!!!! 10 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD, IT WILL MAKE A VERY VISIBLE CRACK ON THE WALL AND HERE COMES YOUR ASS WHINING AGAIN AND THEN NOW THE CRACK WOULD BE MY FAULT INSTEAD BECAUSE YOU RENOVATED AND DAMAGED MY WALL????? I'd ...

I'm back to my usual daily commute to work :( but our working hours changed from 9 - 4.30pm. However, my salary is still not back to normal I guess. I also lost my bicycle lock. I have no idea where the hell it dropped so................ I still cycle to MRT everyday, but I might change it to an alternate day basis because my car battery might get weaker if I don't use it too much lol. It's kinda disgusting when I get all sweaty after cycling so I have to change my shirt when before I enter the train. Also I keep all my valuable things in a fanny pack around my back and the rest of my stuffs in a tote bag hanging around my bike. So I basically look like a cheapskate messenger lol. I think I lost weight and muscle mass because I couldn't workout much these few months. Hmm. I made wholemeal bread rolls!!!!!!!!!!! Woohoooooooooooooooooo~ Sometimes you can never follow recipes because Idk whether it's the weather or our flour is different etc because...

Yo! Met up with the gang yesterday and had HaiDiLao for the first time. We went to Velocity at 4pm+, there was no queue but we were waiting outside for YX to come. So we could already get a table when she arrived. Ordered few plates of meat, no seafood of course. 1 vegetable, 1 fried buns, 1 fish skin crisps, 2 portions of fine noodles (not the la mien), total was about RM66 per pax. Cheaper than I expected because we were pretty full and satisfied. I was actually expecting it to be at least 80 because it's HDL and we ate until we're content lol. We were probably full from the soup and desserts la. The Ma La is so good though although it's exactly the same as the instant soup base you get in supermarkets hahahahahaha. It's okay la once in a blue moon. If you want a cheaper option then by all means just get the soup base from supermarket and you can dump whatever ingredients you wish to eat with half the price. I got a new Huawei Mediapad during MCO. Origin...
