Priorities…

Feeling like everything may start going haywire in my life, and generally, here in Malaysia if not everywhere else. I used to be able to handle more complexity but my disabilities are hampering my coping ability to the increasing levels of hardship. Plus the folks are growing crotchety, and infirm.

I think I need a plan. Tonight, I couldn’t figure out how the chicken got half cooked after so long in the pan. Maybe it was the new gas cylinder, the lack of oil, I can’t pinpoint it and it is cause for concern. I can no longer cook -or drive!

And I wonder at what I’m buying lately. Am I being a money fool? Am I being over stingy and missing out?

Still keeping up my exercise routine and being a morning person against the incessant pressure to lay down, do nothing, and just die a slow death. I wonder whose emotions those are? The witchy Liews’ probably.

These are the birthpains and times of sorrow. As I mentioned, I need a plan. More later…

I need to spend half the day out of the house, and half indoors. The change of environment will make a difference. Planning to go to the park with the tall trees, by the LDP. Next to establish a routine for the afternoon and night. Right now, I only have a morning routine.

1. 12pm begins with mamak roti canai lunch time with coffee
2. During lunch, to write down ideas for my ventures
3. After lunch is flute practice time (1 hr)
4. Then to do some physical work, such as tidying my room
5. Before dinner is blog update time
6. After dinner, songwriting with guitar
7. Then long shower time (20 mins)
8. Take meds
9. Story writing / editing time, YouTube watching / online buying
10. 10pm, lights out

Thinking twice about buying an MT-G. This Kinetic perpetual calendar looks pretty sweet for half the money (2kRM). I can probably save the 2k by late February. That’s also when I’ll know if I’ve won any prize money in the UpLink challenge. Either way, something to look forward to over the next 3 months.

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the flea market, browsing used watches. I found a bunch of elegant SQ tanks on eBay for 120RM / $25 but they ship from India. No harm trying to buy local first. Those SQs are somewhat soulless tho. It’s an odd feeling, having to wait 3 months for potential earnings. Also not the best of times to buy a used watch.

I’m also tickled by this new watch from HMT which is 530RM. Have to stay home today because Dad may have caught Covid again. May put some money into my PBB account to get something nice for Christmas if it goes deeply discounted.

Wearing my Tissot PRS on suede / T-signed deployant. Mom gifted it to me some years ago but there was a ‘barrier’ around it. Feeling better. Love the 40mm brushed case and sapphire / ceramic top. I don’t need another watch just yet. No more wild goose chasing. If money does come in later, I will put it to other uses.

This must be the cheapest tank. Made by Casio, the MQ-27. At $15, it’s worth checking out. I should be buying this tomorrow from Casio.os on Shopee. Seems to have an 18mm lug width. After coupon, it’s only $11. 15 pieces left. Might fit the croc strap I have spare.
