February Post

It is nearing the second week of March and after the last blog post I was occupied with some new jobs. I am so thankful. Some of it are proofreading jobs and some are returning printing customers.

Somewhere on the third week I got tooth ache. Probably from food I ate, perhaps hard food or bits of it left in between gaps which eventually created infection. It was painful for three days until I can't no more bare and decided to pull it off at the dentist.

There goes a whole week without runs and rides. I almost thought that the painkiller could have had some minor side effects when I was weak and sleepy most of the time. 

Lucky me, I managed to jog again on the last week. To my surprise, I still have the stamina when it was noticeable the heart rate was steady during the first returning run. That's when I decided to plan some vague training schedule week by week that hopefully fill in for some interesting achievements. In fact I also signed up for the Score Run Centurion Challenge attempting to complete a 60km challenge from 13-March till 18-April 2021. 

SPM started on the third week. Things were a little bit stressful and also hopeful. We tried to make sense out of everything and avoid unnecessary tense. Hence, we brought in this little buddy from our in laws. She was reportedly abandoned by mommy and barely survive until my in laws decided to feed her. 

Cing Cing (my kids call it, but I prefer Grebel which sounds trending), was skinny like Husin. She was weak but totally a different character. She prefers sleeping in the open like the wide carpet, sofa, in the TV room and not besides anyone unlike Husin during little.

The Frangipani Hammock

 Almost a week now housekeeping the contact and social media group. Things that I find to be irrelevant or annoying or popping too frequent boasting lifestyle, achievement or any other craps will go into mute mode or restrict mode or even worse unfollow mode.

I find life is more peaceful now without the need to archive or open and read the unnecessary chats among the irrelevant parties. I make and lead my own now. Any enquiry or chats I decide whether to answer/reply or kept silent. The later may be helpful sometimes.

I can still interact with people, whenever necessary. Don't need to be full time attending to the nonsense. I can still jog or cycle and throw smiles at passers by be it friends or strangers. However I may hold my line and not being too friendly like before because  I don't find it necessary.

Though jobs are less since the MCO 2.0, I find there are other fruitful things that can be done. I managed to transfer the Frangipani from the polybag to the soil. I successfully hung the hammock with a simple hitch knot at the car porch. My next project is to replace the old shabby shoe cabinet. DIY or just purchase one.

Empty Cans

Yesterday I've decided to leave a prominent wasap group. Kinda prominent. Probably way back then, but no more. Probably they still feel and think that it is a prominent group. 

However, the thought of inactively involve in any of its interaction came by me earlier this year when I find the chats were becoming irrelevant. This is especially when throwing marriage jokes around and casting self-claimed compliment sorta proud sons and daughters. The worse ever when everyone wants to be supercool and super knowledgeable. Even worse when boastingly joke about other people. I find it disgusting.

So I muted the notifications. It was calmer...for a while. Besides the rubbish chats, the interaction were slower nowadays. Probably nobody have something to boast about. Eventually, the decision to leave came and no turning back. There's nothing to regret about. In fact there's nothing there except empty cans.

Aku akan cuba post sekerap yang mungkin untuk masa yang terdekat ni. Bila kerap buat, bermakna aku kena sign in hampir setiap hari yang membolehkan aku ingat ID dan password untuk blog ni. 

Pagi ni aku kuatkan semangat untuk kayuh jugak, kononnya dengan harapan cuaca macam semalam...berangin seharian sampai ke malam, best betul kalau berada di luar. Tapi hari ni dah habis angin. Tambah lagi defisit angin bila aku ikut jiran kayuh yang jauh lebih power dari aku. Maka hasilnya hampir 34% kayuhan hari ni berada dalam Zon 4 (Kuning)! Tapi takpe, Garmin kata "You improved your cardio respiratory from this workout."

Terasa juga di kaki setiap kali tekan masa climbing. Hari ni buat figure 8 instead of yang biasa aku pusing2 loop Suakasih. Figure 8 ni bermakna setiap bukit seperti bukit depan Dju dan bukit TNB aku hadap. Kalau dengan jumlah jarak kayuhan 20km bermakna aku hadap bukit-bukit tu 10 kali...kot. 

Aku ambil hari ni sebagai INTERVAL workout sebab aku berada di luar zon selesa pada hampir 80% kayuhan. Bermakna esok aku kena easy workout. Kalau mengembara ke Bukit Enggang best jugak kan? Hmmm...

Capish!

Recovering the blog

Wow! For the last few weeks I've been trying to recover my blog back but I can't seemed to get the email and password correct after numerous times. It was somehow disappointing, especially when you have something to blog about.

I thought I remember writing somewhere the email and password in my notebook but failed to find it. But today it was fortunate. I found it after patiently browsing every page of the notebook. Actually, the email address that I key in was incorrect. Sigh!

I was thinking to compile all my blog posts and keep it somewhere else, like Google Cloud. There are 550 blog posted and I don't know how to transfer it in the simplest way instead of copying and pasting one at a time. I'll find the best way.

I kept too many memories in this blog especially memories long ago when I was actively running and cycling and joining events. Those were probably 10 years back which may seemed like a short while ago but it's precious. 

In the mean time, I started Tweeting a year ago. Twitter allows me to post short posts faster which I can do it few times a day. Whatever I can think off besides being handy from the mobile phone. The only thing is, if I require lengthy post, I need to Tweet a few times. Basically it will look like paragraphs. 

Ciao!
