生活点滴:脱光光天


事发和初稿于二零一七年一月二十一日。


在洗衣机前,老婆仔诉苦说到: “做么怎样洗都洗不完的?

我问: “新的洗衣机不是可以每次洗多一点的咩?

是,但还是洗不完咯。看!还有这么多。

我想了想,说: “看来要宣布脱光光天才可以。

老婆仔笑后说: “阿翔会很开心咯。

原来我的大儿子是这样的…

Rainy days


Cold. Lifeless.

Wet. Miserable.

Gloomy. Down.

Rainy day. Depressing day.

Where's the rainbow?

Where's the sunshine?

Mjolnir found!


According to Marvel Cinematic Universe, Mjolnir was destroyed in the movie Thor: Ragnarok, where Hela just crushed it single-handedly with her iron grip, like it's nothing.

Seriously, don't be groped grabbed by Hela... =P

But I found the hammer in Diablo III! ^_^

Woot! Legendary hammer!

Okay okay, so it's not called Mjolnir but Odyn Son, probably due to copyright that kind of stuff, but come on, it's very obvious, right? My character sure isn't wielding Thor or Loki...

Here's how it looks held by the character:

She is worthy!

有感而发:生命可贵(二)


二零一八年九月十日。

两天前情人老婆仔神色凝重的跑来我房里跟我说:

老公,虽然我不常讲,但你知道我很爱你的嘛齁?

她真的很反常,所以我被她搞到很紧张,不知道发生了什么事。

原来公寓又有坠楼身亡事件。

她说我忧郁症来袭时有说过类似的话,所以很担心。

是有在忧郁时想过跳楼会是怎么样的,这种奇怪的思维。

但忧郁症来袭时会想些比较悲观消极的事也不是特意或我能控制的。

再说,只是想想而已,没有要做的念头。

至少这么多年了是这样啦…

也不知道可以讲什么,就是抱着她说:

我是没有想过要结束自己的生命啦。知道我忧郁时多点关心我,多点抱我咯。

不三八,所以没有去探听,但老婆仔隔天跟我说是精神有问题的人自杀。

越老越胆怯,所以特意不去看,怕太恐怖会做恶梦。

人生不是电脑程序,看了的东西是不能倒带撤销变成没看过的。

还是不看比较好。

生命可贵啊!

多点关爱你身旁的亲人朋友吧!

这世界多点关爱绝对是好事。

Q&A


If you asked for my opinion, and I complied, then please do expect me to answer it honestly and directly.

If you just wanted to hear a specific answer that's to your liking, or wanted the answer to come sugarcoated, then you shouldn't have asked me please inform me up front so I can either humour you with half-truth, or smile and say nothing to keep my integrity intact.

I am sure there are others who are much better at sweet-talking, or social engineering, or whatever term people use to describe those who have no qualm telling half-truths, sugarcoat stuff or even blatantly lie to make the other feel good.

But that's just not me.

So really, ask me if you want my honest opinion given frankly, otherwise there are better candidate.

Random behaviour for September 2018


I put in the effort to pay more attention and to allocate the memory space (from my limited pool) to note down at least an interesting thing about my colleague every working day in August, which I then posted in the WhatsApp group.

I didn't missed any day in the month when there was face to face interaction, so I succeeded in my resolution in that sense.

However, the intention was so that the other colleague friends in that group can learn that interesting thing through my sharing and hence get to know each other a bit more. In this sense, I think I had wasted my time and effort since, well, most of them who responded took it as an opportunity to poke fun, primarily at my expense.

So, yea...

I think I will eventually learn to not set resolution that involves others. One can hope.


Ever since I started the daily push-ups resolution back in July 2015, I continued on till now with some other exercises added throughout the years so that I am actually doing three types of exercises instead of just push-ups.

However while I was doing database book keeping in the weekend, I realised I have been slipping more and more lately, there were just too many days lately that I skipped a type of exercise or two, or even didn't do any!

Such lack of discipline, unacceptable!


So, for September 2018, started since the first day of the month, my impromptu resolution is: to do 50 push-ups, leg lifts and air cyclings everyday.

And, starting today, the second impromptu resolution that I will keep unannounced till the end of the month.

Because I can.


I know I said last month that I wanted to do something about my raising nastiness, but I figured what the heck, let me just be the nasty, bitter and evil person. Tired of being nice anyway.

Still dreaming


Back in June, thinking of capitalising on the Raya offer and the no tax period, I placed an order for a car that I like, a saloon.

Ever since, it has been a weekly query on car availability until I gave up asking in late August, accepting the fact that I will not get the car before the re-implementation of the Sales and Service Tax (SST).

So much for capitalising on the no tax period...

The agent finally called this morning, not to tell me my car is finally available, but to inform me of the approximated extra I have to pay for SST.

That would be around three thousand Ringgit Malaysia.

A cost that the dealer is not going to absorb because their sales are so good that they couldn't care less. It's all about supply and demand, and other more selfish, greedier, and darker stuff I could think of.

But wifey told me I should not think the worst of people, so I shall just stick to supply and demand instead of the agent stringing out orders to fulfil many months of sales quota for bonus, or because I didn't pay "incentive" that kind of stuff.

Yea, well...

The agent also told me no car for September, and looking more like November or end of the year for car availability.

Great, just great, so freaking fantastic. I broke my sarcasm meter long ago so I don't know how high that would have registered.

So yea, I have three dreams that I considered important, and getting a nice car being the easiest and probably the only one that I can achieve, yet here I am, still dreaming.

This is my life.
