There is something magical about the wee hour of the morning. Suddenly I am shrouded by this feeling of inner peace that cannot be described by words. I am in my zone come midnight until 4:00 am in the morning.
I always find peace in you Sarah. For a person whom I never meet and don't know how you look like, you surely have a tremendous effect on me.
I am always at home with you honey. You determine the rightness of my direction. I wonder what my life will be like without me being able to write to you anytime I wish to do so.
-----------------
Tonight is a cool night. We had a rainfall just now. I feel like chilling out with you for a change. You know... Take it easy.
My mind is still on the run. I think if I come out with a good strategy I should be able to do a 11 km Hill Run by September.
What is so difficult about it? All I need is to motivate myself to take the baby steps. As I said it is about taking action.
Hey, let's write to Els...
My dear Els,
I can't sleep tonight. Normally that happens to be on Thursdays. As usual I will listen to Sound Journey *wh[y] (while) trying to have a conversation with Sarah.
* Normally this is the best time for me to get hold of her. It is morning where she is at; Pacific Time.
I saw your mukbang video. I was laughing while watching. You looked like someone who enjoy her noodle.
You surely into kimchi. Everything you eat looks so delicious. This idea of eating the noodle with cheese and sausage seemed palatable.
Ever since I tried the Samyang Ramen, I was hooked. It's the chili. Superb... I take a lot of chili. On top of that one packet is enough to fill me up without adding anything extra.
I added sweet soy sauce to make it more zesty though. The noodle is superb. Thanks for recommending it.
Now I am slowly embracing the Korean food. I eat at Kyochon and KFry. The chicken with cheese at KFry is excellent.
I didn't know the noodle is great too until I saw your video.
Before this Mopey (my youngest daughter) asked me to try. I thought it was just another Korean gimmick. Not until I tasted it recently. It was much better than the regular Maggie mee. On normal circumstances I would not have tried it. I'm not particularly into Korean. But because you seemed to enjoys it much, that enticed me to try.
I even suggested for Sarah to try it. But I told her to use half the chili paste. Otherwise she will be blowing smoke in between her ears LOL.
Well, that will be it for now. I planned to sleep at 4:00 am and wake up at 12:00 pm just in time for your gig.
Take care baby.
Love you always.
Sine cera,

Day 44 Movement Control Order

I managed to sell my Armani blazer to a history teacher for RM200. When I try to upsell the Salomon and Nike baseball shirt, he remained quiet.
So as usual, one man's junk is another man's treasure. So that pays for Elsie's watch. It's a zero sum game. I would do the same thing for you should I know your address.
Looks like I will stay up the whole night through. It is 10 minutes to 4:00 am and my brain is still very active.
Actually I realized there are alot of bargain hunters in Mudah.my. They are looking for brand names but at a bargain like this history teacher. Who would have thought that a history teacher has the taste to own an Armani.
Come to think of it, these lower middle income are really smart. They buy everything second hand. The real losers are the middle class like me. I wasted so much money on things that have no real value. Clothes, shoes, bags, books. I should have saved rather than spend mindlessly.
From our conversations, I realized that you are a prudent person. That is nice to know. Now I had set my eyes on settling my income tax, 20 years down the road.
Beyond buying things, money has little value for me. I might as well settle my income tax.
Like I said, I had completed my purchases. So if I buy, it is for replacement purposes; PC, handphone, running shoes.
You will be surprised of how little things Lizzie bought for herself. Mostly she spends on household items. Mainly on food.
My two daughters are smart buyers. Although I don't earn, I spend the most in this house. My RM400 a month on Nicorette already exceeds what Princess and Mopey spend on monthly basis.
What is it with things really? It will get old anyway. Sooner or later it will become junk. Even the aircon in CCC is one big piece of junk. After a while you need to replace the junk with a newer junk. Where will it stop? I say let's do away with things and stick with the basic. Like what I am doing now.
I learn alot from Lizzie. She is the smartest buyer of us all. She is a human calculator.
