Was watching this YouTube video on watches…

There was an American billionaire who gave most of his earnings to charity, secretly, and wore a $20 Casio every day of his life. He was the one who inspired Bill Gates, etc. to wear Casios. Francis wore a Casio as Pope. The reason given, was they were just interested in knowing the time as affordably, reliably as possible. Personally, I prefer the idea of an heirloom watch. Something that has some value besides function. Tho I’ll never be able to afford nor deserve one. 

Thus I wear a general model Casio as well, a 10 year battery digital 1440H. 100m WR. Circa $40. It was necessary tho, to replace its bulky resin strap with something sleeker, $15. I wear this watch most all the time, square, interesting, and classic. It just keeps time.

I would like one day, tho to own a Kinetic perpetual calendar of some sort.

Arip jab at psych clinic went well. Am resting at home. Westerners going berserk in the mindspaces. Not sure what they want. Liew witches attacked the clinic staff. Everyone is worried about the plan the British concocted over us, to try and cage LiLian. It was bound to fail, this soft approach while torturing the good people who know her.

Shortly will begin writing chp10 of SDU. Got it mostly figured out. Should wrap up Friday, not to rush it. I will then have 2 weeks to edit and export using MS Office tools I rented for a month. Not sure where to put the novel for free download, or if I want to get an ISBN for it. But it will definitely feature in my marketing efforts for iS, mss2, etc. I may even sell it printed at cost price on Shopee.

Will start writing around 2-3pm.

1pm+ and I am being assaulted by the corrupted Liew witchy ball of hatred. There may be no time to write until evening. Will spend time browsing watches.

The westerners involved in telepathy are going wild, triggered by thoughts of apostasy from being twisted Palpatine-like by the Liew witches. I hesitate to advise them as they enjoyed beating me up. But there is no sin too great for Christ to bear you, except that which you claim you can bear yourself -this is the unforgivable sin said out plainly. You cannot normally bear even the slightest sin without being an affront to God on some level.

Was browsing watches and prices are up 20-30%. It’s not the time for watch collecting. Market may tank soon. Have to help prepare pasta for dinner now.


Past 12am, was able to write a bit. Exercise tomorrow. Catching the 3am match. May write more tomorrow. In the final chapter, lots of pivotal characters’ motivations and fates are explained, including:
  1. The cloaks, particularly Pete
  2. Kyoko and the Hawaiian
  3. Jerry and Gail
  4. Derek and Esmeralda
  5. Lotus and Quen
This is going to be a fun chapter to write if I keep the interrelated cast to sane proportions, 6 degrees of separation.


France-Senegal was a ripper. Exciting to the last. I have now to sleep a few hours then head out to deliver a table to Sis. Didn’t write much but did some plotting. It’s not an easy chapter. In fact Part II has been all sorts of hell since the get go compared to the easy first 5 chapters, as the story contracts towards the finale and conflict deepens.

Am wearing my Q&Q moonphase this afternoon. A $20 watch that tracks both sun and moon. If I make it, I will try getting a better watch, say around $2.5k which would be circa 10kRM.


Managed to get cleaned well after 3 unstoppings. But don’t feel like walking much. It’s not a good time, intuition says. Finally set up my rpi zero w, with NetBSD. It runs pretty well. Is using circa 150MB RAM for some reason, out of 480MB available. Half that would be better. I control it via SSH from my Ubuntu laptop’s second display. Right now it’s just a cool toy.

Mid afternoon and I have the full plot of chapter 10, SDU. Will finish writing it tonight. We got rid of much of the Liews with silver atoms.
