Unisex...

Realized I have several items of clothing and watches that are from ladies' brands / origin. Like LuluLemon, Sloggi, Tenor-Dorly (35mm), a blousy linen shirt, and chef's pants (women normally cook). I use a ladies' Venus shaver. I am becoming more and more metrosexual.

Today, my watch of choice is the Swatch Sistem51 "AM51" (IIRC) -the all-black plastic model with white-tipped hands. I really like the minimalist design and the case's wrist presence. Waktu means "time" in Malay. I had been vacillating over my daily driver for some months.

Tomorrow will be October. A month when my work is recognized and my dreams, realized -that is if the ABY is correct.

* * *

October is here -I almost forgot. My game, Sekk, is now playable, writing on my novella, SH, is in full swing. Decided not to enter any more innovation challenges -one is enough. According to the ABY, this month-year could see my success and many dreams come true. May head out to the flea market / Digital Mall later on.

The lasso ball equipment I'm prototyping is almost ready for testing. In total, it cost me $15 to make the snaring boleadoras. Hoping that manufacturers will pick up the baton and produce one for half price in sets of 2. Lasso ball could be a great game, build character worldwide.

"Get your dreams before getting your work done"

Now -how to attach the weighted balls to the rope?

* * *

Life is short. Dad is in frequent nerve pain and his colon polyp possibly cancerous. Mom can no longer sleep and eat well and has throat ulcers. I’m okay still. My morning runs and workouts and weekly long walks keep me going. But I caved and had a tomyam ramen for lunch. One sinful meal a day… I have stopped the peanut butter and prata bread lunches tho.

This Sunday, a sabbath October 1st. What could come of these pregnant times? Will my stories finally be read? My games played? My oppressive family done in? Will I live to see the Rapture? Or will evil overtake the faithful? In the face of mounting Antichrist support, I remain a bulwark of reason, in that way, an object of hatred to the wicked but a bastion of faith while I still exist. Hopefully I will always exist!

Just ate Mom’s prawn and pork gyozas with some balsamic vinegar. Tasty. Silent prayers for Dad who bore the brunt of the American intrusion through his grandfather. Mom the same. Both rotten to the core now. Wondering if Dad would like a picture / comic strip Bible. Going. To NSK grocer on Tuesday probably.

My body looks trimmer already. The extra workout time and runs have burnt much fat. Only my skeletal right hand looks odd but is still serviceable. For the record, I don’t tear the communion bread and scratch my asshole.

Feeling hopeful about tomorrow’s clinic and a change of scene.

* * *

Managed to get touchscreen support working in Sekk. Now people can share this fun game on trains, or at cafes. It's a low skill, high intuition problem and should be a hit. Feeling more alive after my Arip jab and while waiting, I imagined some designs for our new (smaller) house.

It will have cinder blocks on the roof sides to let in air. On the outside, tough bamboo rollup blinds. Each room will have cinder blocks over the windows, angled askew and the windows shall be butterfly hinged, top to bottom. Bathrooms will have small-stone floors which are anti-slip and maintenance free. Shouldn't cost much.

* * *

Tomorrow morning I'll be running again but not doing too much exercise as my arm is sore from the Arip jab I had earlier today. Want to learn how to tie string around a ball so I can make the boleadoras for Lasso Ball. Sekk is now at version 3.2 and is quite good. Hope it takes off.

* * *

Dad's cancer-free and we'll be able to enjoy his birthday celebration. I've finished coding Sekk 3.3 which has full touchscreen support. Learnt how to tie a neat ball cage and tether it to the jump rope. Should have the boleadoras done very soon. A pretty fearsome weapon -possibly the most menacing, in the world of sport.

Not writing SH which was neatly prevented by evildoers just as they prevented my Kapreka's computer idea. Just have to be steadfast and longsuffering. Maybe from something small, can come some joy. But these are hard times.

Exercise and working out…

I’ve decided to take a trip to Ipoh to visit my cousin next weekend. Will bring gifts: my Baltany DD on FKM, and maybe something else, a tennis racket and a loaf of my sourdough bread. Will stay for four to five hours.

It’s 4am, 2 hours till my morning walk. Will head briskly to Kayu, and back again. Wear my kd500 shoes. Will also do more pushups and sit ups. 40, twice a day. Drank 2 cups of black coffee and skipped my ramen breakfast.

* * *

Couldn't wait for 6am so I went for a 3-minute run up and down our guarded road instead. 4:30am is a pretty good time for this as everyone was asleep still. Plus it's quick, free -and safer. Everyday for a week and I will surely lose weight. Don't think I should do 80 pushups a day.

I resisted the urge to eat peanut butter and ramen today. Tomorrow, another brief run and work out in the pre morning. I’m still wearing my LuluLemon briefs. They’re so comfy.

Final thing to invent is a compound bow harness. Something to strap the weapon onto a body and retrieve it quick. Carrying a modern bow is tiring as they are heavy.

* * *

Worked out more this morning after a brief run. Feeling fitter and slimmer. A brief daily run and 30% more workout is a good idea. Didn't eat a ramen / prata bread as I usually do. Feeling more energized on this day when Tao itself is balanced.

Thinking of making a Velcro bow harness vest but that will take over 50RM. Maybe after November. Hand carrying one's modern bow is a pain at around 2kg. Twice the weight of a katana and riddled with bits and bobs. Eventually, I will make one but there's no need now to lug my bow anywhere.

* * *

Worked out early again after a brief run. Legs still a bit spaghetti. Not sure what to do with today. Will be staying in and maybe doing some writing.

Couldn’t stick to my diet 100%. I had one ramen and some bread but no peanut butter. An early night again tonight and exercise pre-dawn.

Rapture, synchronicity, and being prepared…

Lately, I’ve been wearing my vintage pre-loved Tenor-Dorly automatic on its yellow lizard strap almost all the time. Could this be the watch of the Rapture? I like it a lot because its case is compact and chunky, and the strap, scaly. It resists water splashes quite well so I wore it out walking yesterday morning with no worries. But the press of many expectant minds dictates my current and future preferences and choices and having to fight (persuade) through this, effectively purifies by consensus, everything I touch. Rather than just doing the right thing because I want to.

Being born apparently under the same stars as Jesus, is making many things in my life turn prophetic and synchronistic. As if I were His chosen leader of the Tribulation run-up. I even received a few miraculous happenings. But poor health and overwhelming evil is hindering my good works.

“Being prepared” is now one of my obsessions, that keeps me motivated to live on through the madness physical pains, and inequity. It will probably be another 12 months of trials before we are redeemed. And I am no longer binge online buying. Asking of the Spirit revealed a few key things I need to do right now:

1. Stay near the SS2 park with the tall trees
2. Simplify my lifestyle and sum up all my desires / lusts
3. Support full time, the war effort in the mind, against the evil Liew witches
4. Get sufficient rest, exercise and diet a bit
5. Be kind / generous to my folks and relations

It’s only a week till October 2023, a month when many efforts will bear fruit (monetarily). Have been thinking of my birthday this November, and what else I would like to own, coming up dry.

* * *

Going out overnight is something I want to do this year. Each trip may take 100RM+ so I can do this twice a month. Having some fun thinking what to pack.

Picked my travel outfit and overnight wear. Something decent (longer legs). I will be washing my day clothes at the hotel for re-wear the next day. Want to get another good pair of underwear besides my Sloggi ‘all rounds’. Maybe CK from Gardens Mall, EOM.

For formal attire, I have this:

A period dress shirt and Cookman chef pants. I also have 3 other tops to go with these hardy quick dry pants: Indian kurta, Chinese tang, and Malay batik. The western shirt is my favorite. I have always liked the baggy sleeves and ruffled openings. I bought it because it looks formal while being more comfy in tropical climes.

* * *

Heading out this weekend to get my underwear. Considering Lululemon which is $10 cheaper.

* * *

Got the LuluLemon underwear mainly because they were much cheaper than CK. I like the design, the omega logos on front and back, the stitching and overall wear and feel. Having luxury underwear motivates me to diet and exercise more. So I will be walking every day from now on, ~1km a day maybe 2, on top of my daily 3 minute workout. After all, I’ve just retired. Thought about making a YouTube shorts but I am too out of shape!

* * *

Fresh funds are in, $100. Therefore I will be making a day trip up north to see my cousin, EOM. Will feed the hamster well before leaving as I should be away for 12 hours. There is definitely nothing much else to buy so I’m traveling.

Slow delivery and balassos…

My capo is now 10 days in the mail. Hope it arrives today. Was planning a long walk this weekend but the parcel may arrive later. In the meantime, I’m testing the net-snare balasso I just made from basketball netting and a jump / skipping rope. I’ve always wanted to invent a sport. Earlier this year, I invented a board game ‘Sekk’ which you can play on FreeLunch.my. Also one of my ambitions fulfilled.

I also just finished modding my compound bow with some new DIY accessories. Made a quiver from a tent clip and a silencer from foam and a mouseball. The sight is a piece of clear plastic with a cutout. I never liked squinting through a peep or over a pin.

Realized I have too many irons in the fire:

1. Short stories
2. Apps
3. Games
4. Watches
5. Uplink
6. I-Ching predictions
7. Weapons (bow and quiver)
8. Music
9. Teaching gospel science

We are also winning the telepathy-witchccraft war in the mindspace. It feels hopeful and peaceful for the most part. But we have to persevere. Wearing my super budget Q&Q moonphase on croc. At 65RM / $13, it's my cheapest watch. The strap however, is $9 from SongHan Leather in Vietnam.

The 5 important things God told me to buy are now in place:

1. Head protection (scrum cap) -head bumps are possible in stampedes etc.
2. Moonphase watch -I guess this is for the GF's periods
3. Ball (Gilbert rugby) -for breaking the ice
4. Scope -to spot trouble far away
5. Wallet -to appear more wealthy, therefore charitable

Made the mistake of thinking all these have to fit in my bag or be on my person at all times. Switched to my Tenor-Dorly on lizard. There is a prophecy that I wear a square chunky vintage watch when we're raptured. These are tests of the Lord.

Still thinking of my birthday present. I will have 1kRM to spend by November. Will be taking Mom to Pavillion for shoe shopping (On Cloud / Decathlon) as well. Don't think I want another affordable watch.

* * *

Capo finally in this afternoon. It is quite unusual and maybe something I won't be showing off anytime. Using it, I was able to record at last, into Cakewalk which I got for free (in app purchases). I've setup the AKG Ara by my ThinkPad with my Moondrop Quark buds as monitors. The mic is quite sensitive. And I've settled on my birthday present: Grado buds.

Decided not to buy the Grado earphones since my Sony TWS work with the ThinkPad very well.

* * *

Joy! Google read my short story collection, all the way from Mountain View California. I had been longing for significantly more exposure and these are my 3 best stories. Brushed and Trimmed. Will clean myself up and head out soon.

Back from my walk and browsing Amcorp flea market. Spent a little money on an amulet string and fresh banana cake. Saw 2 amputees and met a witch / transvestite type -we boarded and unboarded at the same stations, same time. Have I got a sort of protection now? Feels good to wear my amulet again and am feeling hopeful for my future while giving out teachings in the mindspaces as well as bearing loads for those attacked by the Deceived Ones. Yea, it's a pretty creepy Sunday and I'm glad I have an amulet to wear!

Balancing the books and winding down consuming…

So I deposited 2,150RM in my bank account to make up 35k which should be enough for emergencies and is also a nice tidy round sum to have. From now on, I’ll be buying retail / cash. No more Shopee. I have $80 spare this week and should have another $100 coming next week. In my wallet, $100 as well.

Still thinking of surprising Dad with a cool present.I may head out to town tomorrow to see what I can find. Just topped up my rail pass anyway.

Thinking of myself, I have most everything I need:

1. Sandals - I walk a lot
2. Backpack - Carry essentials
3. Shades - Sun is getting hotter
4. Watch - Simple digital will do
5. Head protection - My scrum cap against knocks / debris
6. Phone - A rudimentary caller / navigator

Not to say this is everything but just the important basics.

Thinking about this, I would like to buy Dad some gardening / rough work overalls.

Made more YouTube shorts on my Oakleys and chi spelling system. The Oakley video is going great and I’m not sure why.

* * *

Bought Mom and Dad some presents. Even after repaying Dad, I have $100+ left, another $100 coming in next week. My PBB account is reopened and ready for international buys. I had been looking at a few things on eBay / AliExpress. So Dad got a pair of cute stubby durable pruning shears and Mom got Asics sports socks. I didn't get anything for myself except that capo arriving soon.

Finally got my website FreeLunch.my fully up and running. There were cross-browser JavaScript bugs. So I now have 2 books advertised for sale and one for free browsing. Feeling excited. Later I will be writing more of Sonic Hunter. Think I will binge blitz through it as the story is pretty solid.

Malaysia Day and my new game…

There should be fireworks tonight. My capo failed to ship early but that’s okay. Decided to use a rugby ball for lassoball, instead of a round soccer ball or netball. Watched videos on making bolas.

Want to visit Decathlon for good quality rope for my bolas, $7 for 5 meters which should be enough. Feeling a little nervous over my UpLink submission as it’s a fairly obvious idea.

* * *

I did it -walked out this afternoon and bought the gear I need to make my catcher-bolas. Cost me $9. Had to reload my disability rail pass, $4.50. So the haul is: 2 jump ropes, and a basketball hoop netting. I didn't need to buy a rugby ball as I have 2 old ones perfectly serviceable. Was thinking each lassoball player should have 2 bolas / boleadoras. At $9 each, it's pretty affordable.

Today's ABY / ACIFS reading says to be brave and to answer your true calling which is really not something very out of the ordinary, rather, closer to basic human nature. Lassoball -may it be a success!

I may be able to save 900RM this month, 400 in October, and 200 in November. 1.5kRM in total, ready for my birthday present! Whatever it might be. Will spend a few hours on Shopee tonight.

* * *

Woke up early, dazed from the sedatives I took last night. Stumbled through my morning routine. Looked over the lassoball materials on my desk and wondered where to go from here. I’m not a very good inventor. Maybe get some help? No rush, as I’m retired.

Things seem to be going right…

Precarious as my life sometimes seems, I feel events are moving forward in a friendly direction, lately. Everyone is being given signs and providence who believes in God or at least human dignity. I have new ideas for earning money and have a comfortable space to rest and plan in. This afternoon, I took a half hour walk in the bright 2pm sun with my Oakleys on. Felt good to get moving. Earlier, I submitted my proposal to UpLink on water waste elimination. Apparently, many are interested in my idea of “ratio trading” now.

I’m also wearing my cheapest watch on a cheap strap -the hand winding Chinar on black faux croc. I think this will be my Tribulation watch, assuming a mid to early-trib rapture, a year from now at the soonest. I will also be wearing a period dress shirt and tough judo pants.

* * *

Must have slept 4 solid hours on Rivopam. Waking up at 1am. Still feeling dazed. I saw I had 3 eyes in the bathroom mirror. Today I have to set up my online store. Will draw my cover designs while waiting at the hospital.

Hospital visit went well and was speedy. Felt some urges to spend more money, buy ever more possessions. So I put on my Swatch Sistem and felt better. A featureless, everyman’s automatic in black plastic. Then I got out my ukulele and tuned it to F. Ordered a multi instrument capo off Shopee. And soon I will be playing uke in the park most days besides getting lots of walking in. To find some good parks.

* * *

Did another YouTube short of my Swatch to see if it will go anywhere like my Q&Q moonphase video which is going viral. I can sense my UpLink proposal is also doing well over in Switzerland. They have allocated me just $40k as my “invention” is merely an idea. Also may be made a partner because of my visionary thinking. Ironically, I have nothing much to spend 170kRM on. No Macbook / iPhone / Martin guitar / Rolex / holiday in Bali / hi-fi / grand piano / business venture / collectibles. Probably will sponsor a tournament of paintball style bolasso, nowdeveloping into a kind of soccer-hockey-bolas.

It’s nice to save…

Initially I wanted to spend 2.6kRM / about $600 on a new watch for my birthday. Then I told myself no, it will be half that amount. Talking to Mom over our dinner of omelet, and baked fish which I helped make, I offered the idea of a 700RM Garmin which she shot down as too extravagant.

Earlier in the afternoon, I took delivery of a $5 guitar bag, and a $9 croc strap from Vietnam. Mom was pleased -a little went a long way. Indeed, there is now an aura of calm over our house and the evil witchy neighbors, a little further away in the heart. (They give us anxiety)

Holding on for dear life for another 11 months while being screwed royally through slander and mental machining had made me a little spendthrift. I don’t really need a GravityMaster.

On another note, I have to get some string so I can wear my beautiful onyx Buddha pendant again and take Mom to GWM to get her Dizo smart watch, 140RM for her birthday.

It’s a warm night here in Petaling Jaya. And I’m lost browsing through Shopee. Later tonight to arrange an old song I wrote for fingerstyle guitar.

Since there are many minds interested in the coming Tribulation and true signs, I have to write more about my future buys or abstains:

1. Dizo watch for Mom's b'day (149RM)
2. A Tai-chi / meditation suit for Dad's b'day (150RM)
3. That leaves 1kRM for myself. Thinking I may set up a small sourdough baking business.

* * * 

Made a mild and nutritious dinner of salty Parmesan sprinkled Brussels sprouts (sliced and microwaved), and mild jerk spice sweet sour breaded pork mince with balsamic, pineapple, tomato, and red onion. We hadn’t eaten so healthy in ages. I feel younger! Meanwhile, Mom shot down my meditation suit present for Dad saying he won’t wear it.

My savings will have to be built up again gradually, starting from $100 in my desk and another $100 in my wallet. When I get back home, I’ll prepare the sourdough mix for overnight fermentation.

* * * 

One and a half hours to the Apple Event. Wearing my old Tenor-Dorly on lizard. One of my favorite watches. Forget about a luxury timepiece for now. Promoted my stories on Twitter. My videos got a few more hits too.

* * * 

Revamping my website and putting up a Gumroad store for my stories. Also have to finish polishing my UpLink proposal. Decided to draw my book covers by hand and paint them with watercolor.

Guitar bags and Savarez strings…

Been looking at guitar bags on Shopee lately. There’s a nice padded one in waterproof Oxford fabric going for $10 from Puchong. Will probably buy one in October. Base my c40 in the new house near the park and play there daily. I love my Savarez strings which have lasted almost 3 years.

Also expecting my packet from Vietnam tomorrow or Friday, with my first real croc leather watch strap. Hard to say what it’ll look like as these budget straps are highly variable.

There is some peace in the mind tonight after we settled everyone down with some prophecy. Jumpy vengeful people were attacking everywhere. More later…

* * *

Bought the cheapest guitar bag, $5. Planning to visit Taman Aman several times a week and play guitar there for a few hours every morning. Will be wearing my Q&Q moonphase on gray croc more, and in November, to get myself a GravityMaster. Can’t decide if I will take the LRT to Paramount or walk there, early. Maybe just on the way home when traffic will be heavier.

Was thinking of the end times this morning as Dad and I had brunch out while Mom was at the hospital. Lots of prophecy is being fulfilled and the mind being swept clean of evil. Western powers are ready to cooperate with eastern wizards to settle the witchcraft of the wicked Asian 6 who happen to be my neighbors here in Malaysia.

Regardless, I have now got almost all I need to ford the tribulation. Tonight, a dinner of roast chicken with Jamaican jerk spice. I’m glad we were patient with the kids and babies who tortured adults for their sins. But that means the work isn’t over yet…

* * *

Well, it’s Saturday and my parcels didn’t arrive. Maybe after 9-9 sales. Tonight, I’ll be writing 10 pages of Sonic Hunter. This time round, my attempt is better grounded -in my own experiences and interests. Places I’ve actually been. Should be fun.

* * *

Sonic Hunter morphed into a play, written in poetic dialogue and monologues. I feel motivated to write 1k words a day easily. My parcels also finally arrived and I’m so relieved. Feels like there is power in some of my possessions. The GravityMaster buy is off for now. I need to cut down spending. So I only have half that budget for my birthday present this November.

Retirement blues…

Just enjoying the last year or so of my life on Earth, not gunning for anything -money, fame, girls. Could use better health but of course that’s impossible. Been wearing my Seiko diver a lot lately. Took it for a shower and earlier, out to the mall. People are comfortable with this on my wrist for some reason. An $800 watch -my priciest to date.

Anticipating my new 20mm gray croc leather strap from Vietnam. Will arrive by middle of next week. It should go well with my dressy Q&Q moonphase. Fantasizing of buying a $2k watch if I win the UpLink water challenge. I could receive up to $10k for my solution. More later…

* * * 

A busy week draws to a close. Tomorrow, my Arip jab at the psych clinic. Then hospital visit to collect meds on Thursday. It’s dim in my room tonight. I stopped using the overhead lightbulb in favor of a LED strip wound round my desk. The energy-saving aircond will be on until 10pm, 7 hours a day. I now shower twice, 10 minutes each time. Wonder whether Dad’s cancer has resurfaced. It would be interesting if he passed away soon, and Mom too. I would be free of my schizophrenia misdiagnosis.

* * * 

Saving for a $900 MT-G begins. Something to look forward to and a means of quelling those spendthrift feelings / influences. Could get one by Christmas if I put away 400RM a month. Will go on YouTube now to watch some reviews.

Decided not to buy the MT-G but a cheaper GravityMaster for only $560. Will be getting it for my birthday in November.

* * * 

Was at NSK. Bought spices, dressing and hummus mainly. Last night we had crispy plain pan fried chicken with a squeeze of lemon from our garden. Tonight, I plan to make some spicy humus pasta, some jerk spice pork, and salad with tomatoes dressed with balsamic. Mom will have Nissin noodles as she can’t take chillies.

Fiction: The Window to Nowhere

Captain Ross "Rosie" Sherrif and co-pilot Marsha Ismel were ferrying a repair crew to moon base. On a beam shuttle that rode the thread of resonating photonic energy like a cable car.

Welcome to the wildest ride in space, said Rosie. What's your name, old timer?

Hector, said the foreman, and thanks for the lift.

My pleasure, who's the girl?

My apprentice, Dinah, said the old man. She's quick with her fingers. The young woman pulled off her glove, revealing her cybernetics.

And your tool specialist -a monkey-type revision A. How do you do?

Dinah put an arm around Resh the simian droid who began to gibber pink noise. His circuits were almost fried in a freak accident that lost me my hand, she said.

The lunar giga-generator beamed a resonance laser at the high Earth orbit relay. They called it the photon buster, the window to nowhere. The stretch of vibrating energy coursing along a harmonic distance of almost 400,000 km. It could be seen in the night sky as a silvery thread hanging off the moon.

Marsha checked the quantum compensation systems as the shuttle vectored into the path of the energy beam.

Mass warps space-time, said Rosie. We sit in stagnant wells of our own gravity, all our lives, like an ant who doesn't care that the Earth isn't flat and the moon, maybe made out of cheese.

The small capsule craft flickered visibly as super-fast quantum AI merged it with the lunar laser. After 3 years of captaining the dimension-shifting Albatross, Ross Sherrif had decided not to be a man any longer.

There's something beautiful about closing your eyes, Marsha, he said, and opening them to see the moon filling the portholes. Sometimes it changes you -forever.

That's a lot of shit, Captain, laughed Hector. Their eyes locked for a moment. See this belt?

An energy belt.

An external pacemaker for the colloids I took before I went under cryogenic. What will happen to all this when we go lightspeed?

That's up to the AI, Rosie looked impassively at the old man, you've read the trust clause.

Girl, I hate to tell you now, but Resh bit off your hand after you were hit, said the old man. I had to tase him 9 times before he let go. Then the freakin' AI put me up for sleep in the Polar Ark.

Seems to know something, doesn't he? They looked at the monkey-type who had obediently shut himself down prior to the jump.

Window to nowhere, sighed Rosie, as he okayed the beam merger.
