After a heavy rain, I hear pops of fireworks in the night sky again. Just when you thought CNY was over.
I got lots of props for my Medium article on my new cricket ball. It's interesting what people will read if it's not too long or dumb, has some message to convey. I hear many are seeking prophecy match before they do anything important. I find this odd, somewhat annoying but perhaps people have their reasons.
Been reading up on cricket and how bowlers use the seams of the ball to spin it. Just like blues harp players bend notes -it's unusual that these chances exist unintentionally. Does it show correct design of the game and equipment overall?
I was playing Laufey's From the Start on my guitar and realized it was a very good composition as it lends itself to reinterpretation and re-arrangement so easily -it must be correct theory-wise. After that I tried Mr A-Z's I'm Yours. And found it was harder to play. Jason is I think a lot cleverer than both Laufey and myself, and technically gifted as well. At any rate, I've retired from creative projects as of February this year (2026).
My Pastor says he has arrived back in Malaysia and we are maybe soon to meet. Thus I have been conserving cash to give him a treat, with his wife and any guest(s) he may have brought along. Seems like war may be looming. And I hear bursts of fireworks again. This is after all the horse year, a bullish 12 months if it were to be believed.
Found out that cricket balls are rated 20, 40, and 80 overs. The test match (80 overs) balls are over 100RM. It's actually cheaper to play soccer. The 20 overs balls don't have seam protection (apparently). Then there are very robust trainer balls. Perhaps I should have gotten one of those instead.
Realized I ate only 1 1/2 mandarin oranges (kum) this year. Took my meds and brushed, worked out. Will code at 11pm.
Read that cricket balls wear out the way a team decides, so they may have aerodynamic advantage. Unlike tennis balls and shuttlecocks, cricket balls are carefully applied age / wear for maximum strategic effect over the game duration. Cool fact.
Jason taught me how to play his song, I’m Yours in easy chords I’m used to. Just 3 chords form the verses. Such talent. Earlier I played Laufey, and was similarly moved to improve as a somgwriter. We talked mood of songs and why Carole King’s tunes are so enduring.
We tied off neural pathways in the Liew 6’s brains. Now to give them some closure, and others who obeyed them out of fear.
