Back when I was a student in the UK (this was in 2012 – feels like a lifetime ago, lol), I remember walking into a Sainsbury and seeing self-checkout counters for the first time. I was absolutely mindblown. “Whoever invented this is a freaking genius,” I thought in glee, as I scanned my items, bagged them, paid with my debit and left the store, without … Continue reading The Wonders of Technology
On May 4, after close to two months under a strict movement control order, the Malaysian government started lifting restrictions, allowing for most businesses to resume their operations –provided they follow strict ‘SOPs’ (standard operating procedures). They’ve also called for people to observe social distancing and practice good hygiene. Some parties (and medical experts) have decried the move as premature, since the number of daily … Continue reading Are Shops Actually Observing SOPs? – An Ordinary Malaysian’s Observations
If you wanted to sweat the deets, then we’re technically still under a movement control order until May 12. But I’m calling it Post-MCO because all businesses (except close contact ones like spas and hair salons) have already been allowed to reopen on May 4. At my workplace, we’re currently doing rotational shifts where we go into the office twice a week on different days. … Continue reading Day 1 Of A New Normal – Returning to Work Post-MCO in Malaysia
Hey guys! It’s Day 6 of the Restricted Movement Order in Malaysia. Officially, there are 8 more days to go – but looking at the upward trend of cases, an extension might be imminent. 😦 I know I am luckier than most in that I have enough savings to tide me over should the RMO be prolonged, but there are many out there such as … Continue reading My Mini Library
I hate contact lenses. I hate them with the intensity of a thousand suns, and while I understand why people wear them, that doesn’t make me hate them any less. If hell exists, one of its punishments should be having people put them on and off, every minute, every day, for the rest of eternity. I can’t imagine a worse fate for my enemies. In … Continue reading Why I Hate Contact Lenses

Hey guys! If you’ve been following my blog, you’ll know that earlier this month I “committed” myself to doing the 30 Day Writing Challenge, in conjunction with NaNoWriMo. And as you can see, I’ve been failing miserably. While I HAVE been posting daily (mostly backdated posts about stuff I’ve been doing and what not) , they’re not following the challenge prompts at all. I suppose … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge Day 12: Wtf Am I Doing
Hi! Just sneaked online for a quickie – I’ve been hogging the computer lately (coz there’s nothing to do at home) so my mum’s pretty annoyed. “You think your glasses not thick enough ar?” Dad made this with the leftover flour my mum didn’t use for the cake yesterday. His specialty? Meen fun gui (made from frying flour into patties and dipping them into a … Continue reading Quickie Entry
