they upgraded the app

So I think i will try to post more often again!

First stop is to talk about the basketball over the weekend. 

We played our inaugural Olympic with friends 2019 game, which was around the world. Obviously I suck in any sports game... So I ended last place. Big surprise for the day was that cm beat Hl to third place. Lol

I went to hike puchong wawasan hill by myself after that to see the time required to go up and down...  I ended spending two hours there. Trying different routes. It was also my first time ending up at the waterfall.

Korea

I will be going home in less than 8hrs.

How do I feel?

Traveling alone gives me a lot of time to think. And wonder. Usually I will have a lot of to do list when I am about to head home. But..... upon reaching home, all these things to be done are left behind.

Emotions. Currently feeling a bit more. Maybe I am overthinking. How I wish things will be different when I go back home, but I know it wouldn't.

To accept that it wouldn't will make me feel better, I think. Or should I strive to push for a change, a breakthrough?

It is not as bad as I am writing, nor as difficult. Everyone, it must people encounters or suffers from it. The comfort or ease of the sense of knowing, the comfort of familiarity.

Alone by myself feels good in the sense that I don't feel pressure. I don't sigh. I just, relaxed. :)

Back to reality. Things to learn, habits to stop, books to read, tasks to solve.

oh baby, over1k!

Unrealised earning over 1k !!! :D

Dream is not good for sleep

I dreamt a lot recently but didn't write about it. Anyway I dreamt that my two current favorite artists did a collaboration. Between rocket girls 101 and ransom collective.

I saw a scene whereby yamy was touring with ransom group because they were in Philippines and taking some photos together

In other stories . Currently reading born to run. Should be nice! 

Nervous!

First time attending a yoga class.... Scary, anxious!

Obsessed

I think I am supposed to write about something else but I cannot remember what was it I wanted to write.

Anyway I have been binging on YouTube videos on Chinese reality shows, mainly those relating to produce 101 china girls.

Kinda interesting to watch certain episodes, and see how they develop themselves and their personal life.

I watched a matching show two weeks back and it was great. Couldn't stop watching it (2 hours per episode). An happy that the two guys I like end up with the girls they were chasing.

Brief history of Humankind (spoilers)

Informative and interesting perspective to our humankind history and growth.

I will elaborate on what I think about the book.  The book starts of discussing about the general history of humankind, specifically, the Homo sapiens, how it manage to survive and conquer the other similar Homo species, even though it is not the strongest physically. And humans are so good at hunting that they caused the extinction of some large mammals.

After that, it talks about the revolutions that led us to where we are now. The Cognitive Revolution: where Homo sapiens learn more about the world, communication and writing.

The Agricultural Revolution: where "we" started to settle in a location and learn to grow our own food instead of constantly hunting and moving about, and how our body and mind started to evolve/change due to this. Our diet used to be a variety of food (whatever we can hunt/ gather/ forage) vs now where it is more constant of the same type of food (growing the same rice/ corn year in, year out). And, instead of living free without worry, now we are constantly thinking about the next harvest, whether it will be good or bad. Without the Agricultural Rev, we will not have the size of the population as we have now. The hunting-gathering period requires nimble and small pack of humans, does not cater to big group.

As part of the growth, there is more rules and protection required. Rules to ensure nobody steals and protection from other people invading and stealing the village's food. Here is where the various empires begin to emerge, along with 'imagined order', new languages (mathematics) and taxes.

Human created their own internal hierarchy

The "unification" of humankind was through three factors: monetary, imperialism and religion.

Imperialism, through time, converts locals into believing they are part of the empire. Instead of recognising themselves as their local identify and culture, they adopted the culture and practices of the empire who conquered them (that they very likely hated at the start of colonisation)

Religion also gather people who are outside a community to unite under the same purpose. Religion also includes communism and capitalism.

Scientific Revolution: An evergrowing feedback loop. with resources, you do research whereby new discoveries allow the country to develop powerful weaponry to increase their power. Increased in power to conquer more countries leads to more resources. This is also the period where human start to  develop a questioning mind (compared to earlier when they accept what is taught by their respective religion)

As humans are curious creature, we started to do more exploration and research. Through exploration, they are able to find new lands to conquer. By conquering, it promises them more resources for trading to increase their wealth (capitalism in play), all these are done at the expense of the local native tribes/ empires

Industrial Revolution: access to more energy and manpower than ever before --> leading to parabolic growth in economy (production). Have we actually consider the livelihood of the chickens in the production line? It seems that instead of treating slaves poorly, we are treating the cattles and chickens poorly for our consumption (happiness?). It also talks about consumerism as the new culture/religion - making us buy more and more products in the market (enriching the big companies - ie the new empires)

The book briefly talks about how the world is now more peaceful than before, where based on a percentage count, the death rate through war/crime is higher then compared to the present. I disagree to some extent on this comparison because there are many more people/human now than before, but I think it makes sense as there are less wars these days compared to the medieval times etc.

Happiness - after all that human have achieved, are we really happy? How do we measure our progress? We should be happier than the people who have lived 10,000yrs ago, but are we? We have develop chemical solution to maintain the happiness level (Prozac). But the problem we realised is that happiness is never permanent. Buddhist teach us to contentment, to accept life as is. There is bound to be ups and downs in life, so the solution is we should not chase the ups and accept the downs. We should reduce our pursuit for happiness (extrinsic or intrinsic).

The books end with talking about human acting as life creator and consider its ethics and morality. Although we are now able to use technology to cure many diseases and provide replacement limbs for many people (arms, legs), we are also able to create new life in the lab.  What are the consideration we should take when we are making the decision whether to create a new life/species?

Replacing my monitor

I received my 43inch monitor but there was a problem with it. I need to get it replaced at puchong and preferably on the same day. The shop closes at 10pm. I asked Ccw and cm but they  both can't make it at the time I want.

I scroll down on my WhatsApp and I found Anna. I recalled she telling me that she got no plans for the night so I asked her this:

"This is weird but are you free now? I need a hand to help me carry a monitor to a shop in puchong to do replacement." she said OK. And FYI, Anna is a Tinder match that I've just met once (first time on Tuesday this week).

Hahaha. Anyway I got it replaced and we went to murni for supper.  Talked about stuff family etc and we ended up having an ideal dating app that we both think it might sell! #exciting!

Dropped her home and reached home around 1+? Fixed my monitor and just crashed on the chair.

wc18

World Cup18 is over. France won. I won rm600 (COST: rm120 + rm50) = RM430.

Bought SON's korea jersey

Attending Conrad's course this weekend.

MARRIAGE.

What a weird dream.

I dreamt a mix of things, but there is a life lesson to it. I was getting married to someone, someone that I am OK with, but I do not love. When we are signing the paper, I look at my partner, and I was like.. What? Is her? Why am I marrying her? Oh no, I do not have many things to talk to her. I do not even like her that much. Why did I say yes in the first place, or Why did I make such proposal?!?

I got so freak out from it.And I felt at that time it was too late to say no to the wedding. I was thinking to myself, maybe we can carry on and I can get a divorce later. It is no big deal, quite normal these days. Or don't even need to divorce, just life your own respective life.

And I woke up. I realise, WOW.I am given a second chance. haha. Do not do this. Must blog about it to keep a reminder.

Note to self

always set stop loss.. tested on both FKLI and LRCX, the consequences of not setting is quite disastrous.

in other news
went back to Pg on Wed, came back on Thu. drove back. ate chap fan outside kaima's house for dinner. stayed at Good luck inn, quite cozy :D

Jayden's bday party yesterday. played about 6-8 games of fifa with cm the whole afternoon. lol

went for a 10km run this morning.

later going for gym, plan to work the top 10 reps per set x 3 set?

Profit Thursday with caveat

Profit about $100 from US and about RM300 from local futures.

Caveat because I did two things which I should not have done if I have good discipline.
1) I moved my SL lower for LRCX to prevent from the GAP DROP. :( Now I am holding a stock at loss over $200. If it is a short term thing, (which is what I am expecting, hence the move down, then I am okay). I should target to reduce loss, not to profit already

2) FKLI holding overnight. Should have take profit, but left two contracts open. Lets' see if it can survive today's drop.

Profit Tuesday & Wednesday!

KLCI managed to take RM205 and RM700+-.

Saw some wood for labelling plants for the garden

Cook my own vege to supplement the carbs for dinner.


Profit from US stocks today! :D

Profit Monday!

Ammie teached my over the weekend in using Forecasting, check Harm to Life Door.  So, in the morning, I traded FKLI. Suprising result was so smooth. I manage to follow the big trend (Thanks to weekend course, who taught me macroeconomics is important) I compared the current KLCI number and its futures, and I use that as an indicator whether to add lot or not. I traded 9 times and I got the profit as below.

Now is at night, I took profit from TTWO, entered four positions (UNH, CRM, TTWO again, and MATCH). Happy with unrealised amount. :)

Also did some moving of my bed today. Realised there is a beam on top of my bed, and the bed is against a window. I also sleep with my toilet door open (NOT GOOD). Fixed all of it after dinner. Let's see if it will bring me better Qi.

Profits!!!

Realised a few stocks today. Happy!

Superstar dream

Hmm

Parking scene at home. Driving kammo s bmw.  Trying to adjust it

Dating with a guy scene. Was in a dinner date with a guy. Quite attractive and handsome.,in suit. We were eating a meal when their appetisers come. The appetisers is in the form of pills. One is fish oil capsules. He later suggested to perform. At the restaurant and the owners have to do some table arrangement. I sat and watch.

Play pretend selling tickets. Dunno why also.

Avengers dream.

I am part of Avengers. There is an army fighting lady,  there is spiderman, there is a Warhammer, winter soldier, hulk?

And we fight against thanos and emperor palpatine

There is another ordinary guy who has powers. 

Anyway scenes that I rmb:

1) Thanos become super big size and everyone is running away. He manage to throw a chain on spider and wrapped ard him. He them fall lor. Thanos caught him and pass him to a civilian. She tried to bite test him... When spidey came out, he has a tube behind him. Seems like thanos is inserting a bug into the spidey to mind control him.

2).the black army girl also got mind controlled already but I don't rmb how

3) an ant like human barge into a condo unit of one of the super hero , the ordinary guy who has power but not super strength. The ant tried to attack his mum but he managed to defend her. As they were wrestling, the ant guy uses his face with tentacles to attack the hero's face, twice. As the ant about to mind control the guy, the guy's mum manage to whack it from behind and he ran away.

4) staircase, condo unit need to run down the staircase. Kept switching the staircase to avoid detection. The enemy ant unit respawned and was coming up the staircase.  Managed to switchn3 staircases in the end and ended up in a place near bukit bintang / sg way

5) managed to run away from scene 3, trying to catch MRT in kl city center. As I was abt to go up the staircase (the mrt here is elevated). But I kept hearing emperor palpatines voice. Later, I can see he is everywhere.  I tried to approach and confront him but he was playing with me. He just turn away or act like he can't see me.

6) we are just chilling in my room. And I was testing the black army girl with some questions to see if she really know me but then I woke up.

Weekend and ucl final

Liverpool lost. But I am not happy with two things. Ramos made Salah injured his shoulder. Karius could have done so much better. :(

Disappointed by the circumstances of the situation. It is sad.

Weekend grwb. Picking up a few things here and there. Setting new goals.

Objective for post course : set a focus and go for it. Do not deviate.

Monday: updated

Trades:-
KLCI - normally we are not advised to hold trades overnight, so this time I am holding overnight. Let's see if I will learn the lesson the hard way, or not.

But even if it works ie I profit, I should not do this often.

Why this I do it in the first place? tried to exit but I could exit at the right price and I believe the Malaysia market should be still positive (Then again, the advice is do not assume anything)

--> Update - the market dropped the next two days (sold at 182x, making a loss of RM2k). Lesson learn yet? this is compare to a few hundred ringgit loss. :)


US:-
took profit for MU (because it fell to my SL) and partial profit for ZTS.
got in to NVDA again at a lower price (which by practice I should not get into the same stock twice) - but the price was at EMA20 and trendline, hence I felt it is too good of an opportunity to miss.

--> Update --> the market looks shaky, took profit from ATVI, EL and MSFT

Others:-
Meeting with DBKL @ DBKL - Set a meeting with Siti Hajar next week to run through TTDI outstanding list

Gaming with the guys at night, HL got a new job (Congrats!). Still need to finish up reading the bazi stuff.

Went out yesterday with Ah Theng, Leng jie2 & yinkuan? to sunway pyramid. I definitely can learn a thing or two from the way they hassle the price. lol

Trading b#3

Traded and lost money today at the very last 10mins of the trading session. KLCI suddenly dropped 10 points or not I believe, causing FKLI to drop as well. I was at a net profit position before the drop and was constantly monitoring the KLCI price, but I cannot help with the sudden drop. During the drop, I did not check the KLCI index until it was too late.

I was contemplating whether to keep my stocks at hand, carrying forward my losses. In the end, I manage to tell myself that it is okay to lose one day and trade again the next day. It is part of trading. So I closed my trades at a loss today.

----

In the night, I entered EL, SKX, MAR. EL and SKX was influence by Crystal, but EL have good chart and SKX have a high upside.

MAR is by Crystal as well and I decided to follow up on this by getting it on the support line + trend line.

I took profit on MU by setting the SL higher than my cost. I also put a higher SL for FB . I have increase the SL for other stocks (but still below cost) after feeling comfortable with the entry price. This is to reduce my downside exposure as I believe that my entry is a good entry,if it drops below my entry, it is going to be a big chance to hit my SL.

--
Non-trade update:
- Finally the garden committee managed to organised a meeting today.
- Another day of eating vege

Things to do on Friday
- Trade

Re:

Drop an email to hannah

It has been one week, didnt eat meat except during GJ 3 course wedding dinner, and i didn't feel too well at that point that I thought i should really eat up to nourish myself. I did eat egg though (which in my own mind that is my deal, no meat but egg is acceptable)

Looking for good temples to donate. I have thought about it and will likely to donate across the year, as i will use 10-20% of my earnings per month and donate it... but by end of this year the figure must reach RM5k

Not easy trying not to name call people  but i think i am doing quite well (almost let CM caught me but i  managed to delete the msg in time... phew!)

Today at sharemarket, I didnt do too well in the beginning, but manage to recover after wards. Most likely tomorrow, as we are having CG meeting, i wont be able to trade: :(

Hope I can catch the afternoon market

Also US market, bought a few shares, namely NVDA and qing for Amzn, Goog. etc. I started FB fares, then it let to a cyber "warfare" between BN and PH.

Side note: Deadpool become awesome in DP2. hilarious too. :!

Post GE14, Day One Trading

Mistake - Too greedy, should sell when will the number is good for self - could have earn 1k+ but end up only 300+

Gross - 200 from equity, 1k from derivatives. I think I am getting the hang of it.. Follow the trend, trade with it, only do counters when near peak. Stop Loss is good but i feel trend beats anything ie even if you are in loss, and your trade is with the trend, you do not need to worry much.

Tonight lets see how the US Market shares will perform!

my commitment to PH if they can win it

no meat , eat vege 1yr (as often as i can), if win 2yrs
give  temple 2k, if win 5k
i go work for govt for 3yrs

Done my voting

Woke up early to vote, then head to makan and sleep. Read Zone One. Dont really like it so far but will push through.

Yesterday I sent my sister's postal vote to Cheras then head home. Did it with Ah Mei jie2

Also yesterday, rewarded myself with a Boost Juice.

BG - played telestration and Captain Sonar. Watched Tun M's video ceramah..

Asked Mindy to read it again see if we can get a new government, she said difficult based on her readings/forecast for me. I read it as it is possible and good.  Overall readings all said NO, but let's see how it goes.

happy! finally!!!

Weekend reflection

Managed to do a bit of hiking and exercise at home. Should increase the duration of the exercise

Managed to do the required 30mins of reading too

Didn't do bazi

Didn't do the garden ppt etc

If I could have my Saturday again, what would I do?
- reduce my video time on the phone.
- reduce social media time too

Going to uninstall YouTube now.

Liverpool in UCL FINAL! & Discipline

Watched Liverpool lose to Roma 4-2 (could have been worse), ie extra time.. Roma was almost there.....  Luckily some decisions went our way.

Now Liverpool v Real Madrid in Kiev...

So BIG QUESTION NOW, should I spend RM20k approx to go to Kiev to catch them?

Once in a lifetime kinda thingy..... and both teams are really good teams. Get to see Ronaldo in person too, among others.

Hendo and Firmino for me :)

SHOULD I? Something to ponder

Review of today

- manage to review the notes for trading in the zone

- lesson learnt - discipline and cut loss when due. (you need more practice)

- meditation gets easier the more often you do it!

Things to do tmr:-

- Prepping ppt for Garden presentation

- Planning the structure for EFF presentation

- Fix watch

Grateful, Review, Forgive

I need to revive my blogging and set things out on my todo list for tomorrow and review it on a daily basis.

Grateful today:
I managed to catch Terry's trade and earn RM275 gross
Watched some videos on focus and concentration

Forgiveness:
Prolly how HL like to bring up the 10 games. I am irritated by how it is an irrelevant point that he likes to bring up again and again. But I cannot control his act. So I should just learn to accept and let him be.

Review (tbu)
1- Did my reading
2- will complete my bazi later (After blogging)
3- will loging into tws later as well

Making a tshirt

Just wanna note this down. I thought about this awhile ago but did not do anything about it. I thought of making a customized shirt for myself during exercise time / jogging.

The shirt back part will have a question "Do you wanna play board game with me? Just ask me out!"

And maybe Pc games too.

The front part can have something similar or a photo or picture of something I can relate

Reflection

I feel I need to sit down and reflect at where I am now.

I am sitting at the park now looking at people waking, jogging and the green hill with the pond in middle. I feel I need to be more effective with my day to day activities. I can do more but I am taking it too easy. I need to work harder and play lesser. My mind agrees to this but it is the lacking of discipline and focus that always derail my action plans.

So i shall first improve my discipline and ability to focus. How?

- find articles and read them (using spreeder)
- find books and consider buying them
- watch videos
- application: write down what you have learn and practice it daily.

I tend to do this now and then but drop off along the way...  How? Address this by reviewing your notes daily.

Short dream

Will be taking bus back to Penang tomorrow. the journey should be interesting.

i need to stay back and calm down, focus. need to focus on trading and bazi

Jan and Pre CNY update

January went by quickly. I attended two courses to up my financial investing game.

Last weekend, Thursday, I PKed onto a longkang outside omulab. knocked my head and had cuts/scratches all over my body.

What I am doing lately? still the same, focusing on trading and bazi.

I have excused myself from Azlan's entrepreneurship mainly because I am finding it difficult to juggle my time between myself (trading, bazi etc), garden and the project. Hence I decided to take a step back from it.

I am thinking of taking a step back from the garden as well but that will happen at a later stage. I need to help to setup the accounting system etc first.

Gym

3km under 20m

a question for myself today / and a business plan?

a business plan:-
If I were to commit myself to a business, I would rather a business that is flexible where I can do my own things at work. If it is a cafe, I do not want high traffic but high margin. Preferably online business or consulting where I can do a few jobs in a month and that is sufficient to cover the whole month's expenses.

Or perhaps the job does not need me to be on site, ie I can employ staff and all I need to do is go in once every week or so.

CONCEPT:- HIGH MARGIN, FLEXIBLE (CONTRACT?), EMPLOY WORKERS (DELEGATION)



a question for myself today:-
what get into me. Recently it is HL. I know that in the past when people are not keen to learn more ie Calvin or KS, I get it and I don't bother but with HL, I do feel I am frustrated easily with him.

Perhaps it could be because he did say that I am lazy and now he is acting the same.  But more because I feel that this is sometime he could use to elevate himself to a better position.

I know I should be affected by his choices and ultimately their choices affects their own lives, not mine.

I can share with him why I feel this is important for him and why it got into me but I should not let it affect me emotionally again.

So HL got to me because I care about him, which is normal that you are affected by things and people you care about.

Earned RM1,800 today!

I bought SAPNRG this morning when the market opened, and sold it 30mins later, taking a profit of RM1,800 gross.

I bought it because over the weekend, I saw the chart where there is a reversal on the downtrend, with a gap up.

So on Monday (Today), I monitor the opening and manage to get the share at 83c. I monitored it for 30mins before deciding to sell it at 87.5c.

3rd Jan 2018

1) When it is the football transfer season, it always makes me feel like reinstalling Football Manager and start to spend my life away, AGAIN.

2) Caught up with Woon today for dinner. Fat d.

3) Should plan further on the trip to Osaka. Seems like there are signs pointing towards this trip.

Things I have done that I am happy with

Started exercising daily again, albeit it is not long, it is a start

Reading more frequent. Started reading Cards on the Table by Agatha Christie. I think I've read it previously but do not remember the ending. Maybe I did not finish the book previously.

Did my budget for 2018, updated my portfolio. Started my analysis for FA again.

Have been doing my things to do for the next day consistently for about 5 days now.

Things to accomplish by end of this week

1) Bazi practice
2) Share FA part 2
3) Go for a run

Reflection on 2017 and Goals for 2018

So I have set myself a few goals towards late 2017. I did not complete any of them but I like to continue to pursue them moving to 2018.
1- Do more Bazi - I have been planning and planning but have yet to complete a thorough report since HL and Joanne's reading. I have been spending way too long structuring the report > doing practical. Anyway, the structure will definitely help me to churn out reports once I start.

2- Find a GF. This did not happen too, but am happy met a lot of people towards late of the year. And I realised that I would rather spend time to learn more about trading (until a more sustainable stage) before I devote more time on other sectors of my life

3- Exercise until 6 packs. Nope. I did lose weight because I was sick. My fitness level dropped towards end of 2017 because 1) my gym buddy is now in melbourne 2) lacking discipline

4- Book readings - i read 29 books this year, only two more than last year. Personal goal was 48 but looking back that is slightly unrealistic





Goals for 2018
Learn Investing/Trading

Their puzzles are of good quality

- Water Proof
- No glue needed

On the 16th, attended  Beyond Insight's talk. Paid and register for their course in Jan. I think I need to start somewhere so decided to go with them.

Met up with Denise and she taught a few things on trading, In exchange, I shared with her on the bazi and qimen stuff.

Other than that, fixed my chair (cos I sweat a lot i think when i was sick until the leather cracked). Bought leather cream from IKEA. I also bought a desk lamp to replace the broken but still functional one (finally).


Played telestration one of the nights when I was sick @ccw house. KF ailin, jack joseph were there. They were attending LipZhun's wedding the next day. You should see jack's drawing of a stable and how he draws two dogs having intercourse. =D

The highlight of the trip to Kyoto was a smelly homeless guy who shared the same cart as we did. We changed on the following stop to another cart. HOWEVER, after shopping at aeon Kyoto, we bumped into him again, after Jo manage to caught his fowl scent. :l

Anyway had dinner at the station. The station has this observation deck/Sky Garden. Worth going, esp in daytime. At night harder to take photos. They also set up this really huge Christmas tree with leds playing images to the tune of the music.

We (elise and me) head home, leng and Jo went shopping. Caught flu (likely due to my attire today (light clothing as I was planning for my hike up inari)

EPUBOR Adobe DRM Removal!

Are you frustrated trying to access your purchased ebooks, which are passworded protected, from various devices? From each device, when you first open the document, you need to login. And this is very frustrating when you want to share it with your friends.

What is the solution? TRY Epubor's Adobe ePUB&PDF DRM Removal 

The software is VERY EASY to use. Just select the pdf you want to decrypt, let the program run for about  5mins (my book was about 400pages long) and VOILA!!! It is done!

I have used the software on a free trial and it works! No quality reduction, everything is perfect! But you need to pay for registration to get the full document.

For USD18, you have heaps of books you want to share with friends, I think this software is worth trying.

dream

i saw in a room there were a bunch of Aus @ers, including Anne. Anne saw me and yelled my name and came over and hugged me.

There was a bar with various candies

I cleaned a cupboard's top, where there is a spider and spiderweb. Threw it into a dustbin.

We were on an island holiday and on our last day I saw there is this landmark which was the furthest point from where we were located. It was where they filmed a famous movie about a couple wedding.

oh, then YK whatsapp asked if Malaysia is hiring teachers. I  said yes, we need to improve our English teachers' quality. Nick said o no.... replying to YK as he felt sad that YK is forced to come back to Msia.

2) did 30 situps, 30leg pull and 20 of a variation situp
3) finishing my book on secret of a millionaire

Oct 17 /Weekend back in KL

Went hiking with Jolene, Ying Ling & eefeng at KD Forest Reserve. Took us total about 3hrs. Did not enjoy it as much as it was quite an easy hike. Once you reached the top, you get a view of the NKVE highway.

Saturday I baked brownies. Another good batch! If I bake once a week I definitely will get better!

Watched Geostorm with Ying Ling on Sunday night. OK la. Had sushi Q before movie and little fat duck after.

Went to CM house to collect ccw house key. played new fifa18

Brownie baking lessons

1) More butter - more gooey
2) Do not use milk chocolate
3) Cocoa powder replaces flour, not chocolate
4) Use one teaspoon of salt

First baking
1) Used milk chocolate - hence a lot of butter left on the bottom of the brownie (and it did not harden)
2) Used 250g of white sugar (too much)
3) The tray was higher up and I pour all to one small rectangular tray

Second baking
1) Used dark chocolate - no butter left on the bottom
2) Used 200g of brown sugar (still too much) - suggest to reduce to 170g next time
3) Time was 30mins at 170C, though I did continue baking for 5mins at 150C
4) There were two trays, one further from lamp is more moist. The one nearer to lamp is more cakey

I did find the second baking was smoother and faster.

Third baking
1) Dark choc
2) Extra butter 230 instead of 200g
3) 150g sugar instead of 250g, brown sugar
4) Put in half teaspoon of salt (as per tricia)
5) the rest is the same
6)  left it at 170c for 35mins,and another one longer. About 5m +

Fourth bake

1) dark choc 350g

2) butter 230g

3) sugar 120g

4)  half teaspoon of salt

5) 50g self raising flour

6) 3 eggs

7) 190c for 30m. 170c for 5mins?

Output is good but still too crumbly and not crispy. suggest to do something with the egg sugar or the time in the oven or maybe the heat

Costing
Butter RM8.30 - 250g
Dark chocolate RM28 for 1kg (i only used 350)
Eggs 3 pieces - 0.50/piece
Sugar about RM3 for 500g (i only used 200g)
Flour is negligible

Blade runner

The movie is a no no. Don't bother watching

Bought phone replacement

Route Perfect - Europe travel planner

https://www.routeperfect.com/trip-planner/

For Europe travel - to identify which other cities to visit along the way to your destination from your start point

I used this website to find out about Innsbruck and Verona. Very pleased :)

Lost my phone... at a garden

Sigh

I lost my phone i bought this year, in a garden. Someone may have took it.

So I was walking around doing work, I MAY HAVE DROPPED IT SOMEWHERE....  OR, I have left it on the bench, and SOMEONE TOOK IT....

Strange this is this

If I have dropped it somewhere, what I did after that was:-
1) I backtracked everywhere! I even overturned the whole compost just to look for it (took me two hours).

2) I called my phone, I whatsapp it, I use my Find My Device to ring it, I CANNOT HEAR Shtz from it

3) It is a hard item, so I used a rake to rake around, NOPE..... no such luck


IF someone have took it:-
1) He or She should have switch off the phone immediately, why kept the line on?!?

2) I SMSed a few times, they would have be aware of it, of my offer to the reward. They should have switch it off OR reply me.

3) When I rang it using the Find My Device, they should stop it immediately too!


I still suspect someone took it, not on purpose but he/she did, mainly because, when I call it a few times earlier, one of the call actually was accepted, BUT NO ONE WAS TALKING, as if the thigh/butt dial problem happened. :(

Anyway I shall have a go at it later, ask around for it, and then decide what phone to buy...



In other news:
I want to reduce intake of the following:-
1) ice cream
2) bubble milk tea
3) fruit juice
mainly to save some money

What Santu said is true, if I save a bit here and there, it is a lot.

Bhaktapur

Bfast @ rooftop, eggs and toast + yogurt

Walked to Siddha pokari. Was disappointed at the view

Walked to durbar square, paid usd15 for entrance fee.. Paid a guy rm20 for tour guide, brought us around and explain the buildings. One of the more interesting ones is the kamasutra temple / Pashupatinath Temple. They have 24 pictures that depicts the positions for sexual intercourse. Upon performing, you will have a baby. It is for the olden time young couples to educate them on how to have a family, as usually back then they get married quite young.

We visited a thangka center, art painting from the olden times. We didn't appreciate it much so we didn't stay long. Next we went past nyatapola temple. Beautiful. Nyata means five and this pagoda has 5 levels.

We also visited a pottery maker. I wanted to buy a cup from him but the price was high. When I went back someone already bought all of it.. Unfortunate for me, but he was nice enough and felt bad about it that he gave me a small Buddhist statue as a gift.

We went back to pottery cafe and bar for lunch, had vege pakoda and chicken Chilli momo.

We visited the peacock window and dattreya Temple. After that shopped for chips, and now we are chilling at the guest house waiting for our taxi.

Taxi picked us up and reached airport  in about 40mins. Krishna dropped by, passed us goodbye gift and falafel and kebab wraps. Checked in, and had our dinner at the airport. Now waiting to pass security. It is 720pm, flight is at 925pm.

Flight delayed for one hour. Talked with Betty and her niece. Her niece got diarrhea. Thank God it was the last night in nepal.

Pokhara - kathmandu

Woke up around 615am, finished reading mockingbird. Not bad of a story.

We had takeaway bfast (French toast) and head to the bus station. Found our bus, got in around 720am. It is now 515pm, we have yet reach our destination.

It stopped 3 times,  once for short break around 1045, next was 1230 for lunch and another toilet break in the afternoon. We had fried rice and pakoda for lunch.

The road is bumpy and poor in condition. The bus always shakes up and down, left to right. It was also a hilly road, with loads of turning, ascending and descending, so the journey was horrible! BUT I did manage to read some of the hard things about hard things and started on a book I didn't realized I bought. Manage and clean up.

Anyway.

We reached Kathmandu stop around 540pm..to our surprise, Krishna arrived! He helped to negotiate price with the taxi drivers and managed to get one for 1k. (later, I tipped the guy an extra 100 as he wanted). Along the way the guy talked to me mostly about his life and plans, and I kept asking as well. He intends to go Poland to work if possible.

We arrived at Bhaktapur guest house around 7pm. We got three beds instead of two! Freshen up and head for dinner. The owner, Monica, said she will be going for ABC in late Oct with her German friend.

We are now waiting for our food at a restaurant at the highest floor on one of their building. I ordered dhal boat, we ordered pork chilly to share. Pork chilly, was awesome! For Npr 150. Yums!

Trekking day 8

Left bambu ard 8+. Breakfast was muesli and hot milk. Tasty but tiring to chew. Head to chhomrong. Had fried potatoes with egg and vege. Stayed there till about 1pm, before heading to jhinu.

Saw a lot of Koreans and Chinese coming up along the way. Also got the contact of the American lady. Penny /penelope. Also found out the Malaysian guy name is ben

At jhinu, rested a bit and head for hot spring. Met a Malaysian travelling with Korean here.

At hot spring, the water is hot at the shower but the pool water is just soso. Lukewarm at best.

Dinner had oat Porridge. Meh. Pakouda is good though.

Also. Finally got Internet! Hahaha

Trekking day 7

Woke up around 6, geared up to go out and enjoy the magnificent view of the snow mountains. Took heap of photos. Helped a Spanish lady took hers. Reminder to send the photos to her later.

Gurung bread was soso only. Head down, took more photos along the way. Reached Himalaya at 12pm. Had fried rice + plain rice with curry vege for lunch.

Walked another 2hrs... Then reached bamboo around 3+. Took a cold shower. Apparently it is full house at sinuwa.

It is already one week.of hiking. My my.

Had vege egg fried rice for dinner. Chatted with the Malaysian lady with Singapore lady. After dinner, we discussed our finances.

I read like one chapter of to kill a mockingbird before I slept.

Heart sore

Just had a dream. There were several scenes. One was fixing the cement slabs and tiles at Kaufu house, one was me using dating app to meet girls, one was playing badminton/ nick visiting a friend bringing ruffles potato chips. And another was me advising a guy who wants to talk to Kiranjeet abt their friendship. Amy was there. I gave a thorough though out plan to talk whereas Amy just said be direct and speak what's in the mind. She was starting/warming a wira for someone, presumably for her bf.

It's 1am now. I woke up from the dream. Thinking, how much I really like Amy, and yet it was not meant to be anymore.

I know the distance I made after the 'conversation' did not help the situation but at the same time if the feeling is mutual she would have taken some action.? Lol nobody will ever know now.

Another 5hrs before I can really wake up. Sigh.

I was searching for my note on relationship advice but I couldn't find it. Don't start a relationship if you are not ready. That's all I rmb...  And I 樂 I may not be ready now.

Trekking day 6

Morning! Woke up around before 6. Did some warm up,  brushed teeth, and when they woke up, I packed my bag. Had Tibetan bread with cheese. The bread is also known as grunge bread. We started Trekking around 730 am.  Reached deurali around 930.

The view from here onwards is fantastic.

Met a Korean honeymoon couple here. They got a flag that says "we just got married."
So cute! Took a photo with them.

From this point onwards it is all the way up up up. Finding myself needing to catch a breath now and then.

It's 1120 now and no MBC in sight. Getting colder too. We reached the MBC notice board at 1150. Took us another few flight of stairs before reaching our lunch point. Ordered vege fried rice, again. Spoke to a Spanish lady from the region of Andalusia. I also changed to a warmer attire.

After that, we depart about 1pm to ABC. Reached around 3pm. Cold. Cold. Unpacked. We were told it is not good to shower at this temperature. We use wet wipes to do some cleaning.

After unpacking, we chilled at the dining hall, play cards until we get to see the view of the mountains around us. What a sight!  Took photos, then continue chilling at dining hall till dinner time.

Makan, brush teeth (at the bushes) and get ready to sleep (missing one wool sock, so my left leg will be feeling warmer than the right one tonight).

We are sharing room with 6 other pax. One of them is an American staying in Salt Lake city. We met him a few times along the way here.

Spoke to a Nepalese who worked in Klang before. He likes it there but was always bullied by drunk Indians. What a bad image these Indians are giving to Malaysia. Sigh....

Anyway... Thought about Amy along the way here today. Crazy. Just crazy why I am thinking so much about her now. :l anyway.....

Go home must bake more brownies.

Trekking day 5

Morning!

Packed, warmed up. My water bottle is leaking so I used a plastic bag to support the bottom. Hopefully it won't break the bag.

Had Tibetan bread, eggs and potatoes again. I am not yet bored of it. I just wonder how healthy it is as we are eating two eggs daily.

Will be heading to Himalaya stop today. View looks fantastic as we can see the snow mountains from here ie the place we stayed last night.

On our way to Himalaya, it rained so we stopped for lunch at bamboo. I had fried rice, whereby the portion is enough for two pax. I was soaked Btw.

We reached about 415pm. Showered. Got hot water. Tonight sharing room with the girls. Now playing Nepalese card game while waiting for dinner.

Trekking day 4

As usual, woke up a few times during the night. Slept without brushing my teeth cos I Ter slept. Even left the light on.

Morning bfast, eggs + potatoes + Tibetan bread.

Started to trek downwards. Reached a stop. With a mini ferris wheel at 11am.

Stopped at 1150am for lunchhh. Having curry chicken, mixed fried rice and tomato soup. The owner worked in Malaysia before, and wanted to match make CHC and me with Nepalese.

We reached chhomrong around 3+pm. Not bad I think today.

All showered, washed clothes and waiting for dinner. And it's only 3:42pm

We learned how to play an Indian card game.

Dinner we ordered curry chicken, two dhal baat for sharing. Spoke to a few Nepalese in Malay.

Read a few chapters before I sleep.

Pokhara Day 3

Ultralight,  woke up early in the morning around 515am. Waited outside for the car since 530am, the driver reached only around 6+am. Met another Malaysia group from PG. We talked, exchanged contact.
I was supposed to go first, got into the vehicle, but left after idling for 10-15m. The airport was closed so we could not fly. After that the PG ppl went first. I had to wait for 30mins extra.

The Ultralight was definitely an experience, flying without a wall/border between you and the air..  The view, can see the mountains, flying above the cloud, diving into the clouds, just fun. Not very exciting but enjoyable!

After that, I dropped postcards for Jen and gloria, walked back to hostel, rested a bit and head back to shop for more books.

Bought Stephen hacking, Dale Carnegie, zero to one and option B. Later will buy rework and one more book.

Lunch we had Tibetan food, with tungba (millet drink, taste bad at the beginning but gets better). We had Tibetan pie, which I think is the best of all. The rest were soup momo and rice noodle soup.

After lunch we walked, we shopped for books before heading to Kfc to meet Santu.

After that we walked along the lakeside, then had dinner at a Korean shop.

Came back, and then packed for the trip to bhaktapur. Met a chilean and a Chinese. 

Trekking day 3

Woke up at 405am. In between I woke up at 12, 2 and 3am.

Ate nestum and dressed up for hiking. The hike was bearable but perhaps due to the altitude, we need to catch a lot of oxygen. I can walk faster but decided to slow down so I won't faint or feel exhausted.

Once we were at the top,  the view is amazing. You can see the snow mountains! As it was a special occasion, we were served free drink and biscuit, with a t shirt as well.

Now waiting for Bfast. 

Bfast was awesome! Got Tibet bread, egg and potato. After makan, start hiking. Halfway, can see the mountains. Beautiful view.

We started 9+, reached lunch area around 1pm. Today's hike. Was much easier compared to yesterday. Downhill. Most of the time. But having said that, downhill is bad for knee. So I tried to walk backwards,sideways, crouching...

I ordered Tibetan bread with omelette tomato. The bread doesn't taste as good as the morning one. Anyway I think we rested for an hour here. I even napped.

After that we begin our second leg of the day. We reached the guest house at Tadapani before 4pm. As we about to reach, the rain started pouring on us. Lol

I have a room to myself again. But this time it is a single bedroom. Took a cold shower. Tonight is going to be colder than yesterday. Maybe cos it rained.

Dinner we had dhal baat. Watched anaconda 2, at least there was kind of entertainment. Wonder who is the girl.

Tomorrow will head to chomrrong

Trekking day 2

Tikkedhunga. This is the place of the first night we slept in. In the morning we had egg, grilled potatoes, onions and tomatoes with toast bread. Simple and tasty.

Packed up, and head to ulleri. We trek for about 2hrs, rest 10mins or so before trekking again for another 1hr. In between we managed to catch the sight of a snow mountain. White and beautiful.

For lunch, I took momo, simple and filling enough. There were many groups who rested here including a Japanese female group that is suspect is probably a softball team. I bought an orange hoping it was juicy but it was dry.  :(

We commence our journey again. Another 3hrs. At one point I finally bought a coke for Npr200 which is about RM9. Tasty!!

We finally reached ghorepani about 4pm . took some photos at the entrance. Krishna pointed out where we need to go tomorrow morning. For the sunrise. Looks daunting. Anyway, the room is cozy! I showered, did some washing and now waiting for dinner.

Updated:
Dinner was awesome. Sizzling chicken, fries and vege. Hung my washed clothes next to the heater to dry.

Pokhara day 2

Bfast was banana pancake. Spoke to some of the hostel mates.

Booked myself for ultra flight for USD99 for 15mins

Took a boat to world peace pagoda. Had to help the boatmen row.

Was one hour hike up, met some old Chinese ladies and chatted with them for a bit.

Stupa was built in relation to a goal by a  Japanese Buddhist who wants to spread Japanese Buddhist back to India.

Shared a taxi back to lakeside with 2 other girls. Npr200 per pax.

Sent postcards, now having lunch at sharmila restaurant. Decent price. Not bad the food. Had thukpa, dhal baat and pokada

Tried local everest beer. Not bad. 650ml for 300, ie rm12.

Stumbled into this book shop. Sells really reasonable books. Finally Bought my sapiens book.

Walked a bit more, stumbled onto kfc. Met the sg and my ladies eating at a rooftop Nepalese restaurant.

We had Italian pizza and spaghetti for dinner. Didn't feel well after. Probably lack of water. Dehydrated. Drank Gorkha for dinner too. I prefer everest.

Walked back. New roommate from Israel. Showered and spoke to Dutch lady, shared my experience on trekking before I sleep

Trekking day 9

Woke up. Supposed to have corn bread but chc mistaken my corn bread for Tibetan bread. :l tried both, no diff.

Started to walk down before 8, met the other guys (Americans and Malaysians) halfway down the  road. Chatted with penny towards the end.

At the end, we took a Jeep from siwai to pokhara. Had lunch with Krishna, had pokada again.

Changed money and went back to hostel.  Rested a bit and head out again

Dinner took us 1hr to decide. Finally set on Korean dinner but the place looks odd and there were many customers whom have yet been served their food so we left. We ended up having  Chinese for dinner. So so.

Read another few chapters before sleeping.

Trekking day 1

We arrived at pokhara yesterday after about 2hours flight delay. The plane fits about 20pax and you can see the cockpit from your seat. There is only one seat on each side of the plane. The flight took about 30mins.

Upon arriving,  we met with Krishna at the arrival hall, which is just like a small hall. We dropped our bag which we do not want to carry for our hike, and head up. The car ride was at least an hour long. Along the way we saw various type of goats/yaks. People were buying them for their upcoming celebration.

We reached some hut, repacked our bags and started walking for 30mins.by this time, it is already around 330pm. We took our lunch, which is fried rice and started to trek. Took us about  2.5hrs to reach our hostel. The trek is not difficult but I was carrying my own bag,  which is quite heavy (9kg).  There were three dogs that we met along the way and they followed us for at least 30mins long.

I got my own room because there's only two beds per room. Had dhal baat for dinner, which is rice, soup, papadom, vege and vege. Taste better than the dhal baat we had near the boudanath temple.

After that I showered, brush my teeth (I forgot my toothbrush, bought one here for NPR25, which is about RM1+), wash my clothes and then slept.

Woke up middle of the night a few times. Too cold. First time I wore jacket and long pants. Second time I wore another layer of long pants AND gloves. Morning weather now feels fine.

There are two Nepalese here whom have worked in KL before. One in the container Depot and another idk where but around KL/SHAH Alam.

Kathmandu day2

Arrived yesterday late night with marlina and CHC. The airport is small. Funny thing was we had to go through security after immigration, before collecting our luggage, so basically they were checking our carry in luggages. I just wonder why because it is likely the departing airport would have done some checks on it already...

Anyway dil picked us up. The hotel is small but the room is spacious. Toilet is uncomfortable. Small and don't feel it is clean. We showered and rest for the night.

Morning we got up, changed money and head for Bfast. Had big breakfast. Cost USD3.5 ish.
After that we settle some admin stuff before heading to our local sightseeing. We decided to take a local driver to ease our travel. Visited monkey temple. The temples here all got a pillar in the middle with eyes drawn on each sides of the pillar.  According to CHC, not sure how true, it is basically the sign the God is watching out for the people, at all directions. I bought a singing bowl here.

Next is the durbar square. We didn't go in because 1) we were given only 30mins 2) it cost us 1000 rupees per pax. Head back to the car.

Then head to pasupati temple. It is a Hindu temple. At the side there is a river where they burn the dead. Then the ashes will be thrown into the river, which flows to India. We got a student guide here, which was expecting us to tip him 1k but we stuck with our 500rp. There are different places for diff classes. Normal ppl burn at one area where as rich another. Kings have their own, which is the closest to the temple.

There are yogi/hermit staying near the temple where they will take photo with your for a donation. They also will share teachings of the Hindu for those who seek them.

After temple, we head for lunch. Tried local staple food (which is quite similar to Indian food) and momo (dumpling). I m happy to order momo again but not the local food.

Visited bhadaunath Temple. There is some ceremony going on as the monks were chanting and there is a monk's picture in the center with tables full of offerings of food and drinks.

Head home. Count money, realised may not have enough money for the journey. Head out for dinner.  Had kebab. Head home.

Lack of postings

Stayed up playing FM and watching the QMDJ until the game starts. Watched the first two goals, then fell asleep till post-game. Liverpool drew at home to Sevilla 2-2. Same story. Leaky defence. Klopp needs to work harder on it.

Sunday
Garden with Nick + friend. Managed to cut the fruit waste before dumping it onto the compost site. The compost that CS and KF did is working (can feel the heat). I did some bricks moving, weeding and plowing.

Badminton. First time playing with Su Ann in months! Nice to see her again after so long.

Lunch @ Tmn Megah/Mayang - siu yuk noodles. yummy!!

Came back and chill for a bit, before heading to Ah leng jiejie's for second round badminton. This time Ashley and Avril joined us as well. Time flies. I left around 6pm. We agreed to makan dinner at Centre point with kaufu at gerai.

Elise very cute. haha. not sure if i get what this means when i re read it next time. Hint: swimming pool + embarrassing moment when she gets older. Even Ah Mei + Ah Leng jiejie knows. I am surprised at how direct and forward she can be with it. hahaha

Gerai - ordered hainanese curry rice + chicken chop. I realised I dont really like their chicken. lol. I think it was enjoyable to have the company of cousins to dine together, since no one else is around. After that we had baskin robbins ( i didnt but the kids did) for dessert. Left earlier to meet up with Cady.

We went for KOPI to yumcha. Initially supposed to go for drinks but i changed my mind.

Came back home, showered then KO with the lights on.
