Mum's RFID

A while back in Butterworth, Ban, my mum and I went out for dinner with Ban driving my mum's car. We wanted to test the new RFID tag (the condo uses it for residence's car's exit/entry). It didn't work the night before and so I moved it to another part of the windscreen. It worked when we went out. Me: Do you know what this means? Mum: It means mum has to be in the car. Me: *laughed* Ban: Noooo. Me: That's a very good guess. Here's another: that means Daniel has to drive the car. Mum: *laughed* Ban: Nooo, it doesn't mean that either. 😂

How many ice blocks? Yes

Couple months ago, I bought Seremban beef noodle from KBN @Damansara Uptown for my mum and sister. I received detailed instruction from the bosses on how to transport them to Butterworth, which include the use of ice blocks. I was worried that I didn't have enough ice blocks and so I wanted to buy one on Lazada. I saw that buying two would be cheaper per block because of voucher. Well, an extra would be good and I bought them. Later, it arrived:   It's a pack of 50 of them and I ordered two packs @@ 

Assorted food #10

Pad See Ew at Thai Tai @Starling Mall. The flavour was good and I loved that there was plenty of vegetable. However, as even evidenced in the photo, it was quite oily, which is the reason why I haven't been back there. I might give it another try.     As previously blogged , I cut the blocks of compressed sushi rice into half and they were just right. I had it with my usual coral lettuce and tomato. I usually place strips of nori on to the rice but this time it was on the salad.     Promotional set at KBN King's Seremban Beef Noodle @Damansara Uptown, when they were promoting their then newly introduced dessert and drinks. It was quite nice but it was too much for me.   Aglio Olio with Seafood add-on (Hokkaido scallops, prawns, clams) at Red Kettle @Starling Mall. It was delicious and pleasing to the eyes. Its price, like everything else in that restaurant, was also 'delicious' :D That's why we rarely dine there.  Also, I just checked Google reviews: overal...

SpellRogue

SpellRogue is a tactical turn-based roguelike deckbuilder game. It's like Slay the Spire ("StS") and Monster Train but with at most only 7 cards and use dice as energy. Cards are played by either using specific value of a die e.g. 2, or reduce its CD by the total value of a number of dice. It incorporates two key features of Montster Train i.e. enemies' intention (which StS has) and whether your character will die or not (which StS doesn't have). Yet, using dice makes the game distinctively different from the other two. I was at first apprehensive about how random this will cause but it turned out to be ok because there are cards to let you change the dice value. There is one such card in each starter deck that I played so far. I've eyed this game for quite a while, putting it on wishlist when it was still in beta (I think?) and later in early access. I didn't buy earlier because there were some problems as flagged out by bad reviews. It turned mostly (ver...

Mummies

In a reent ttrpg session, our party was fighting a group of mummies. A teammate decided to use her whip to attack a mummy. I then suggested to her to say, "Who's your Mummy?" Some laughter ensued but immediately followed by... Me: Wait, I made a joke?! *lol* Another teammate: I thought you did it on purpose. Yes, I intended it to be a joke (the whipping bit) but the second joke (vs a mummy) was unintentional.  

Market timing

You don’t need to buy at the perfect moment to build lasting wealth. What matters more is choosing strong companies, committing to a plan, and sticking with it, even when markets feel uncertain. Because over time, it’s not timing the market that makes the difference. It’s time in the market that does.  - Joanna Sng, Co-Founder, The Smart Investor
