Here's My Story

Upon's my sister's suggestion, I purchased a number of items on Shopee for the my unit in Butterworth . All had no issue except for a couple of items from EKS EXPREZ: (1) 8th Sep: Purchased items. (2) 9th Sep: Status on Shopee showed that seller was preparing to ship the parcel and that the oder was being fulfilled by non-Shopee Supported Logistics. "Your order is likely to arrive in 3-4 days (except digital goods). Otherwise, you may choose to extend Shopee Guarantee or reach out to the seller to inquire about the parcel status." Incidentally, the option to extend the guarantee was not there even though it was supposed to be discontinued only from 12th Sep 2024 . (3) 13th Sep: This was the expected delivery date as shown by Shopee but my sister had yet to receive the items in Butterworth. Upon enquiry, the seller showed a screenshot of a logistic timeline that showed that the items were in transit from PJ to Penang. (4) 16th Sep: Received email from Shopee asking me ...

Context: Premium payment to AIA for my mum's health insurance policy is done via autodebit from my CIMB debit card. There was no issue for years until now. Also, each time I call AIA to enquire, they request to perform verification with my mum. Some dates below are approximated. (1) 26th Aug: Received sms from AIA saying that the autodebit failed and that they would try again in a few days. I decided to manually pay for it via their app to avoid the possibility of my mum's policy voided. (2) 27th Aug: Received sms from CIMB that my debit card was charged by AIA. A check with CIMB showed that the payment had yet been deducted from my account and so they asked me to check with AIA. AIA confirmed that they received the manual payment but not the autodebit payment. They asked me to call back once my account was deducted but I voiced my concern that I would not be with my mum then and so verification would not be possible. So, they did two things: (a) they sent instruction to the pr...

(Emphasis is mine, to show the mistakes) 1. Malaymail article "Malaysian singer-songwriter sings the blues after AirAsia loses luggage and music gear worth RM15,000 (VIDEO)". Sentence: "Tan said then “ghosted” him, claiming that they stopped responding to his further inquiries." 2. Malaymail article "Boy, 12, who went viral for joyriding in Perodua Viva charged with underage driving". Section: " The 12-year-old whose driving video went viral was reportedly charged in the Magistrate’s Court here today with underage driving. Malaysia Gazette reported that the boy pleaded not guilty to the charge under Section 39(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987....... The accused is a permanent resident and small-scale carpet salesman, with five children aged six to 19 . He was represented by lawyer Nabilla Rosli."  So, this 12-year-old has 5 children aged 6 to 19? They probably meant his father.

At One Utama: Twice we passed by, on different days I believed, both times there were long queue. Served local food, priced above those in proper kopitiams but appropriate for its location at a mall. Food much be good, hor? We usually are not keen to queue, especially not this long and so we didn't try. There's also this bakery shop, which mostly likely is related: It was also crowded both times we passed by.

I don't understand what this means:

Not sure why it took me so long to search for this since I was officially diagnosed with vasomotor rhinithis 4 years ago : Found this handy information on Cleveland Clinic's website :

Despite what Ban thinks 😄, banana smoothie is still my favourite smoothie. Usually I'll mix in a strawberry or two. Sometimes I add cocoa powder. The thing about bananas is that I usually can't finish a comb of it before it goes bad and so adopting my sister's solution, I freeze them when they're about to get over-ripe. I also freeze strawberries since I cannot finish them in time. I usually don't finish them at once after I freeze them: I usually take the chance to move on to other fruits. Hence, these frozen fruits are also used as back-up. Gosh, I loved how, by coincidence, they neatly fit into this container :) In this instance, I used 6 slices of them and 1 strawberry, together with some ice cubes and a spoonful of yoghurt, to make smoothie.

The ointment method that worked on my left wrist was either not working on my right wrist or its effect was too slow / insignificant. Still, I continued with it, remembering that it took quite some time for the pain in my left wrist (pain at a few spots too) to be completely gone. Meanwhile, I looked up Youtube videos to look for rehabilitative exercises for the wrist. Later, Youtube also recommended videos for pain in thumb. Fortunately I was curious because I came across this video: Lo and behold! These techniques did lessen the pain significantly and so I started practising these massage and exercise. Recently, I also came across this: Henceforth, I stopped massage ointment at the area and use cooling agent to dampen the suspected inflammation. I also incoporated additional massages from this video.
