Extended MCO : Eat, Work, Sleep & Repeat.....

I believe this extended MCO has totally changed my thinking and rewired my brains entirely. I have become more determined to diversify my career paths to greener pastures. With my rotten bosses who drove me to the toughest edge of my life and the pandemic that added on, more salt to my injury.... I am a fighter who would battle all obstacles along the way, after all I am still alive with limbs that could work harder and toil like an elephant to shoulder all the heavy logs. No mountain is too high to climb, since I have come this far.



My stint with Nirvana Group has been a blessing as it was not a planned ambition but rather, it fell onto my lap naturally for referring cases to them. It has been giving me good pocket money monthly as everyone needs to plan their final journey. I managed to recruit 2 down lines whom one had recruited his own down lines too. I took my down line on tour of the Nirvana's Columbarium in Shah Alam for better exposure and product training.

Besides this, my ultimate aim is to bring my wife's Computational Thinking curriculum to China! I pray that it would happen since UTAR had signed MOU just half year after she opened her centre. They recognized the importance of Computational Thinking skills to bring their varsity to another level. My farsighted visions had always been right and I believe that China needs her service too.



I went to buy Thai food for our lunch from Frame Thai Restaurant at Section 17's Happy Mansion. I ordered Green Curry Chicken Set and Fried Pork Basil Rice Set. It was so delicious and spicy until my head sweated like fountains.


I had to add on the Spicy Mango Salad that burnt my tongue. My wife loved the Pumpkin Custard and Mango Sticky Rice desserts. 




My wife baked for me the Lemon Cheesecake for the first time. I would say that it was a successful attempt and I am so happy. One whole pie for myself alone! Yoohoo!




I was overjoyed that my agent managed to find a good tenant for my condo which has been vacant since the trails of mess left behind by the Gangsters of China. So I invited my wife to eat at Little Penang @ Atria since the dine-in is allowed now. There were only 2 tables of guests! We had hot & iced coffee with Durian Chendol as dessert.



We shared a plate of crispy Chicken Lor Bak with Assam Laksa and Curry Mee. The hearty dinner meal made my cravings fulfilled like a big celebration.

The Next Day.......




As if we didn't enjoy enough and returned to Little Penang again tonight for more cravings. This time my wife invited her single friend along. We ordered a plate full of Pie Tee and Kari Hantu Set which was very tasty and fragrant. The set came with Beef Curry, Lor Bak and Pucuk Manis vegetables. Yums!



We also ordered Dark Sauce Chicken Set which came with Assam Petai Prawns and Ju Hu Char. Her friend ordered Char Koay Teow. We finished off with ABC shredded ice as dessert which I forgot to snap the photo.

    1. I always enjoyed their food as the owners are Penang sisters. They cooked very close 90% to the authentic dishes minus the pork. It gives me satisfaction.

  5. Good that you are taking things constructively and planning diversification. Wah you are blessed to have a good agent who found a good tenant for u. Next time when old, I want to rent your tmn desa condo because it is within walking distance to many eateries, right?

    1. LOL. I would rather live in a single storey house like yours. My condo is close to the bank, 24 hour Mart and many eateries.

    1. Yes correct! Your memory is good and I even forgot that I shared. Their company's service is quite different from normal agencies. They would even offer to help me to chase for late rentals.

  7. Wah all the food from Frame Thai is so tasty! But too spicy for me. I have not eaten custard pumpkin before, wasn't aware that they sell this. Maybe one day I will get to eat it.

    1. Many people love their Thai food but not my Thai mum!! She was so fussy and pointed out that they must be from Isaan. I will not elaborate this issue here but you can google the side lined Isaan people.

    1. It is necessary to read up about Computational Thinking which rolled out from Carnegie Mellon University in US.

  10. Craftguru dot org looks good with many programs for young people. Is computational thinking applicable to my case of making a decision on whether or not to resign from my current job without having a new job now? I cannot make a decision but the heart feels like resigning.

    1. My wife has taught CT at universities in Manila, Taipei, Jakarta and others over the years. This Craft Guru is tailored for students on parents' requests as our country is so slow in implementing. The politics are delaying the progress.

      Just quit your job if you have no more heart there. I have changed over 16 jobs.

      Delete
    2. Hhmmmm, can ask you a question? Ok if don't want to reply. Since you have changed over 16 jobs, for u to stay in this current job after not receiving salary for many months must mean you love this job a lot?

      Delete
    3. Ok, just read your reply to ewew that you cannot ditch those guys yet because they owe u too much. All the best for your plans. May they flow smooth smooth!

    4. I don't love my job. I had been given the opportunity to sell over 10 properties in the other division during the 10 years tenure since being hired by the MP who died. Are you aware of this boss? https://twilightzone518.blogspot.com/2014/05/farewell-my-boss.html?q=farewell+my+boss

      I am the only person in the whole company who knows how to do the proposals that need to use 3-4 softwares. The business went wrong after the PH took power, and I got stuck in office with high hopes that never saw the light till now.

    5. I have read your post about him at that time but I was not aware of this MP before you mentioned him. Hope they are paying your salary now after not paying for so many months.

    1. You are too paranoid until deprive yourself of freedom. What if you die of natural causes in December? Your next year's date with your spouse may not happen. Tomorrow May Not Come.

      Delete
    2. Better be extra careful than risk infecting vulnerable people in high risk category. I am ok to die any day. Everyday is a date with my spouse. Very true, tomorrow may never be here but what is dining out? Dining out is not important to my life as much as ensuring the safety of high risk vulnerable people which is my main priority.

      Delete
    3. You appear to believe in fate too. So just stay at home and enjoy dining within the 4 walls. I need to have fresh air and dine outside sometimes. I have heard of cases of people who got infected from the food delivery to their houses. How to track and report?

      Delete
    4. Well, everything is based on science which is the only way to go so if they suspect that they got infected from food delivery, then only KKM can verify whether that is true or not by investigating it using scientific methods. I guess if they don't use contactless delivery or they get sneezed upon by the food delivery person or they touch the packaging and touch their faces without sanitizing their hands and etc etc, so many venues to investigate but only they know what happened and hopefully they can recall their actions when the investigation officers ask them.

  13. Your modus operandi sounds like what my cat has been doing all his life....except he'd replace 'work' with 'shit'...lol! :D

    Didn't know that Nirvana uses multi-level marketing for its product (like a pyramid scheme). Anyway, good luck to your new and forthcoming ventures...and may you have great success in all you do. Time to ditch your lousy bosses who didn't pay you salary!

    1. House cats are always luckier than most human beings. No need to work. Just purr and food comes! LOLOL

      Good products often come in MLM business strategy. Nirvana is aggressive to help the public to buy a peaceful mind. What the buyer pays today has no expiry date and inflation of 200%-300% will not be an issue.
      I cannot ditch the goons yet as they owe me too much now. I have my plans.

  18. You are farsighted to bring computational thinking to china as china is a huge potential market. Drooling at the thai food and chicken lor bak
    Congrats for finding a new tenant, hope your tenant will sign a long term lease with you. And that calls for a celebration. In sg, dining in a f and b outlet is still not alowed even though CB will end on 1 june.

  23. I have just started my business as plaster ceiling contractor after this MCO as well. I think it is a good time for us to re-think how we can adapt or maybe change the way we earn for a living. By the way, the food looks delicious. Glad to see your updates in this blog.
