I have decided to hand down my Q&Q / Citizen diver to my cousin from the north. It’s a useful, nondescript, tough 200m WR watch with solar charging. Looks good on matching aftermarket NATO. The bezel is useful for timing things and no battery change worries, no screw down crown to strip. He’s building a nascent collection just like I have, maybe out of boredom from being held back from success.
Didn’t do much today, just some blogging and talking inventions with mind friends. Tomorrow, will write my online novella. More later…
It seems I will receive my craft cards this morning. Ahh, a lot to do. Feeling cared for as I sip Robert Timms coffee in my bedroom-office with the box fan circulating after a warm shower with Good Virtues and a change of tee shirt.
Writing a new song: 'Pieces of Me' and the draft lyrics so far go like this:
Pieces of me
Float before my eyes
Or do you know when
I'll go blind
Fragments of a heart
Pulling for a soul
Crying for a breath
Yet so old
Pictures of you
Come down the stairway
Pictures of smiles
Cut away their eyes
Pieces of… me
The chords are a bit difficult. I will sort them out later.
Thinking maybe I should give my cousin a better watch that’s more interesting. Maybe he can have my Prospex diver instead. My now long term affair with Casio watches continues. Plastic is IN. Shiny metal, out. I’m discovering my lifestyle is more casual and low end, yet high tech. Tho not at hectic smartwatch levels. My cousin, on the other hand is buying SS with zeal. He should have one of my steel watches.
Not much is getting done. Playing with Puppy Linux. Eating good food. Blogging sporadically. Fixing mindspace trouble. May head out this afternoon, maybe to Kuala Lumpur on a long walk. Want to visit JamMayMay again to have a look around.
Been keeping close to home lately. Didn’t go out far after all. Exercising, running, pottering around the house, grocery shopping, eating at the mamak with Dad. Feeling cared for. Cutting down frivolous purchases and things that don’t have long term value. Come to terms with a lower cashflow and a simpler life. By September, I could save up to 3.5kRM, almost $700. As expected, Iran has struck Israeli targets with long range ballistic missiles. This is WW3 in the making. And I wonder hypocritically what happens to the money I put away?
My essential EDCs are:
- puffy zip up wallet
- keys on carbiner w/ Gerber Shard
- Multicolor pen
- Nokia basic smartphone
- Grubber space blanket
- thin rain poncho
- energy bar
All in my compact Caribee backpack. I also wear Teva Winsted light hiking sandals most of the time and Oakley Plazmas sometimes. My watch is just a basic Casio.
