Here's My Story

Last decade or so, I've been having this recurring dream, in addition to the usual ones , where I was about to go France to study. I would be anxious because, well, I've never been to France and I don't speak French. Later, in the dream, I would realise that I didn't need to to further my study because I already have my bachelor degree and that's already good to get a job. I can't remember whether in the dream I realised that I already had jobs :D I'm curious as to why I have this recurring dream. I've never been to France. I have no desire to visit France. I don't speak French. I have never thought of doing post-graduate study anywhere, much less in France. Strange, right?

For the longest time, while asleep, I sometimes subconsciously stretched with my hands above my head and my feet pointing down. However, for the past year or so, three or four times when this happened, I had severe cramp in my right calf. So severe that I woke up screaming. It was scary. The first time it happened, Ban got a fright but quickly massaged the calf when he saw me gripping it. Subsequently, he was much quicker in doing so.  I consulted a doctor. If it's not frequent and/or affecting my daily routine e.g. can't walk properly, she isn't concerned.  I recently have a theory: for a couple of years or so, I switched the way I sit when I meditate before doing light stretches (in the morning and just before bed at night): from sitting cross-legged to sitting on my heels with the feet stretched flat on the ground. I have now reverted to cross-legged. Hopefully this helps. I'll continue stretching my calves before I sleep. On a slightly related topic, we were passing...

Oh my... 😅  

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. 😂

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 @@ 

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...
