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.
