I am starting to think Palm Walk is a den inhabited by bunch of douche bags. Today a new one is being added to the list. Most probably is the unit 2, Jalan 8E where it is a corner lot. I had my lorry parked next to it from noon of Sat until dawn of today Mon. When I came home just now, I noticed a new flower pot on the tar road at that spot which I clearly knew it wasn't there before.

Dad cooking again today. I quickly closed the window beforehand. But today there wasn't any frying so it was a little better. But steamed tilapia. Just like sis, dad didn't remove a lot of scales despite he claimed he had tried and couldn't remove them. It was a not-so-good experience eating it. There he mentioned there was quite a lot of water formed after steaming which I could only explain he messed up the steaming by not turning down the heat after water boiling. Then next dish was a "Bo li sheng cai" coated in fried onion. Tbh it was kinda oily. I would prefer it to be dry and add onion oil directly into my plate as much or little as I wished to. Talked about how he knew how to cook since he was kids. Yet nearly all the dishes prepared by him were "growing potato". Whereas my main dishes would be decent except desserts where I usually grow potato.

Dad made a very nasty vegetable dish today. A boiled broccoli and then mixed into a "Da Bai Cai". Tasted yucked and a fried small anchovies. I could not stand how much oil smell came into my room from the open window.

It might have rained heavily in multiple parts of the region before dawn that a lot of places having floods which clearly disrupted traffic today.

In the evening, dad was clearly drunk even before drinking. He was out. I asked him for the whereabout of the car. He answered me about whereabout of the lorry. He even forgot that I told him earlier I needed car for today evening.

Prepared mangoes, peanuts, lollipops and haw biscuit for Aunt Ying. Yet she didn't want the best of them - the mango claiming she would cough after eating mango... doesn't matter warm or cold mango... Peanuts not wanted as expected - cuz that was more of snacks to visitors there. Only taken lollipops and haw biscuits.

She looked healthy in the spirited sense from me looking at the face so I guessed not too much to be worried about.

Heard Aunt Ying fainted after surgery from when Aunt Kuan requested me to go visit on tomorrow night cuz Kai and her both got work. Me too had work just a little more flexy than them. Somehow Ace going to do stock take tomorrow so no need to go in the evening. That should leave a small breathing gap for my schedule.

Ah Heng as expected dilly dallying for the inspection for Proton Saga. One sec asking me if his dad be the one to bring the car there and the next asking if I can come over to drive it. Nah I ain't budging. First the car is already there at his place. 2nd, why should I take my own leave just so you don't have to take leave. 3rd, from dad's reasoning, we never took a cent from giving this car. 4th, as of last time this dumbass came over for a month and a little over trial work he clearly ate way more than he worked for.

A potential employee for lorry driver hopped on to tag along me instead of dad. Had him drive for a day, and this was the first time I saw someone with such awful skills even worse than sis driving manual.

Serious mistakes:

1. Approaching a toll, still got considerable speed, already hit the clutch. Idk if he got hit the brake first, but still got speed, the hit clutch, or worse both together, or worst hit clutch followed by brake. X times.

2. Exiting a T junction, didn't notice a car coming straight from right. 1 time.

3. In going down own straight line, always keep to the very left until going to others' lane. X times.

4. Changing lanes even if I see a car from behind which obviously means cannot but still going ahead assuming the other driver is smart enough to know you are changing lanes. Using signals or not is another story. X times.

5. Changing lanes on the highway with cars following behind without signal. Switched on the signal when I told him to but the lorry was already halfway changing lanes. At this point I was already confused if he couldn't follow own lane properly like mentioned above or too dumb to signal before changing lanes.

6. On highway, in front cars starting to slow down due to traffic jam, after slowing down from gear 4 or 5 idk, he placed free gear at hand, and leg either on the clutch or wtf the leg even off the clutch while the lorry was still moving at considerable speed. I got really angry like how tf you can put free gear when the lorry is still moving at that speed. At least switch to gear 3 god damn it. What happen if a motorcycle suddenly go in front you. What your leg gonna hit? At free gear hit break?

7. He claimed when the hand already got gear, means got gear already but dun understand that leg down the clutch means it is fking free gear already doesnt matter what the fking gear the hand is. So at previous point, even if the hand had switched to gear 3, if leg still stay down on clutch it still means it is free, not 3, god damn it. Raise the leg from clutch then that is switched gear!

8. First time crashed the left mirror today. While in loading bay trying to maneuver into a spot, the left mirror got so close to the pillar and scratched the pillar. I nearly had my finger scratched too when I try to reach out to the mirror to check if got any damages, cuz he then proceed to reverse.

9. 2nd time of the day crashed the left mirror at a junction to U turn. A two lane road to turn right while we gonna U turn. Before the U turn was a red light. I already mentioned the bus at the left. When green light, he for Idk what reason, same as mentioned above, failed to follow own lane properly, bringing the lorry head way too much to the left until the left mirror hit or scratched the bus’ rear side. Just a small collision and it was middle of a junction at peak hour, none stopping to see damage. A sound was heard already. The funny thing, he didn’t even know he crashed the mirror when I mentioned it.

10. At Brickfield, coming to a red light, one that had been red for a while, the car we following along ran the red light, he ran too, claiming cuz the car in front ran. Idk if he even knew the traffic light was even there.

11. Left foot always rests on top of the clutch for the majority of the time like wtf. Just like how sis drives. Confirm got pressed even if a little which caused un-smooth transmission.

Minor mistakes:

1. Play with gear by pushing left and right before starting to move.

2. Idk what take him so long after stopping lorry to get down from lorry when I was down there waiting. X times.

3. We both went to use toilet at Petron. He finished using first, he started the lorry and went to the other side without me getting on lorry first. I like wtf where are you going? Got people shooing you away meh?

4. Accidentally at reverse gear while starting to move at green light.

5. Hit gas pedal til very loud also not yet changing gear.

6. Finding out goods in lorry, one of the goods not yet found but already tick that goods on paper when I checked.

7. Very unskilled at reversing. X times. Til people of Don Donki Nu Sentral asked me if he is new. I said yes. I was not dare to ask him to stop so I could go open the doors at the back. I explained and waited so long til he understood that he needed to stop and open the door before further reversing in. By the time he got down from the lorry, I was already done opening both doors.

8. Couldnt tell bad returned goods from still good goods. Placed the returned goods at next to Siva.

9. Removed the vest before leaving Ace, just right after closing the lorry's doors. He said because he gonna go fill up water bottle. I told him not to remove it before going out from Ace.

10. Two lanes road, left lane got a lorry double signal far in front, but went into the left lane without knowing, then came back out, while I who was sitting beside already saw the obstacle from far away.

11. Off engine by "mati" engine from leg leaving clutch when in gear. X times.

12. Self open Checkers Cheras Utama's gate before they allow us to enter. Opening the gate was not our job mann.

In one phrase to scold: "Zah Mak Gai Lin Cha"

It has been a while since I last used the epilator or intense pulse light. And the frequency of me using moisturizer on leg and exfoliating legs has been reduced too. I ain't sure for what reason that my leg hair seem to grow slower or thinner or sparser which I am quite satisfied about. Even if it is not totally smooth to the touch but I guess this is somehow a sweet spot for me. I mean of course it is near total impossible for a guy to be total leg smooth without expensive laser hair removal or expensive painful electrolysis. A mixture of least effort while getting decent result is the sweet spot.

Partly cuz I put more attention on my head hair recently. The olive oil sold in 99 could work decently at a fraction of the cost of Loreal hair serum. Here is my current hair routine: In the morning after washing face and changing cloth, I used olive oil or oil serum, then detangling, than combing (optionally) and clipping before heading out. In the evening during shower, I applied rinse off conditioner, then towel pat and air dry. Also sleeping on satin pillowcase. Change bedsheet and pillowcase every one to two weeks.

Aunt Kuan answered that she probably would go to visit Aunt Ying on Sat if she was still not discharged by then.

I learnt that to change name of vehicles in Malaysia, inspection is required at Puspakom before hand. But the catch is all vehicles follow this procedure but except motorcycle can skip this process like wtf. Gotta get Heng to get it there instead of myself. While I am in a dilemma if to change name for the Axia as Axia is now in a worse state - blurred scratched windscreen, blurred yellowish headlamp glass, sterling peeled off that doesn't feel good, front and back bumper loose from collision, not to mention blurred paint all over, tyre loosing grip, but air cond was recently fixed.

At home I had my failed barley as lunch which made me hella hungry when evening comes. Dad came home early and so did we early went to Tuan Yuan. He got his beef noodle as usual while I had found a new treasure aside from the Thai food stall. It is a ramen stall seated near the entrance of the food court. For some reason, this time and the last time I went there, the boss lady somehow could tell I was gonna order ramen when I was just approaching the stall. Either she was very sensitive to people's body movement or know my taste or just plain psychic.

At night, in video call, as expected sis was bitching about KWSP campaign.

Signing legal documents sure is some pain in the ass...

In the morning dad insisted going on breakfast at the small stall near Tsun Jin I forgot its name, where we ate there before with uncle Yan last time. This time at 7:30 AM it was still not ready yet. I pulled my ass to force leave the place due to being bitten by mosquitoes at both legs yet again like last time. Reluctantly he agreed and forego eating the so called fatty pork. Ended up eating somewhere near there also but discovered a prawn mee that was kinda good and more importantly no mosquito.

Hehehe quickly finished worked and grabbed a lunch at Baby Cami by myself.

...

It was unexpected of me having to work by going to deliver goods to Giant DC today where I had planned to go on JPJ to work on Axia and Proton, then Perkeso and Digi. Sigh... all these have to be postponed. Yoke Wan still not open today either. This was the 2nd time during raya season it was close and also without any notice in store front. I was hoping to eat the Single Meal "Foh Bao Yuk Fan".

I went to get one of my lorries for inspection today at Puspakom Cheras. To my surprise, it was very empty today as compared to the last time I went there last year for another inspection. What I was clueless about was since all inspections have to be booked before hand, and on both times the day must have been fully booked as heard from a dad's friend who being runner there. Since the no. of bookings should be the same, how come one time it was packed as heck while the other empty as hell. Unless either people give up their bookings due to still in Hari Raya mood or last time there were lots of last min cut queue inspections.

Today marked my 5-months anniversary of not cutting hair! Let's grow it wilder while still got plenty of hair! No regret when coming of days where hair thinning out man yolo!

I was embarrassingly glad sis mentioned about my outfit on the other day. Yeah I was a noob in putting on eccentric outfit, but yeah best experiment now than never yolo no >.< I was feeling good with my hair and nail I ain't gonna give up. Screw the stereotype.

Same as yesterday, I took a deep and long rest today. Saw somewhere on Reddit Google Site can be turned into e-Commerce thingy with the help of Stripe. This thing sure deserve more research.
