lily eyesight

Lily eyesight is getting worse. Yesterday she peed on kitchen floor. Today after I got back from dinner outing with friends, usually she would follow me to the kitchen.

She didnt, instead she wandered to other rooms. I had to bring the bowl to her nose and get her to follow me, but halfway thru the kitchen, she lost her way again.

Lily, jiayou. Another 10 days and u get ur eyesight back.

no more expensive bag

I recently bought a japanese lacey display bag. It is girly and definitely not for an auntie like me but i could not care less.

My primary purpose was to showcase the demon slayers badges and keychains.

Then i realised i need to give away 3 of my bags as i no longer use them. Mainly because I got myself a 80 bucks carlo rino bag tt is actually quite spacious and had been using it since july till now, 4 months. Rest of my bags just collecting dust.

swimming

I graduated from swimming last thursday under my female coach. I only had 10 lessons under her and she said i alreasy knew how to swim.

Now is only refining and increasing my stamina on my own. 

a sign

I remembered feeling very anxious about the vet 13k bill. then i wrote down my plan to transfer rm to sgd.

the rm was a gift from mum. she gave me 300k rm because she felt tt she did not leave anything for me. so the 300k rm was her gift.

i will use 80k of this to fund lily expenses. i was thinking tt mum will get the 功德. immediately tt night, i dreamt she passed on. 

ys said tt dreaming of living passing, means the person will live long. A q 精神. may the 功德 go to my mum.

think about 13k versus what other lost to scam

getting money anxiety after knowing I need to fork out 13k for lily cataract.

i ruminated over it but i got a plan on how to fund it. convert my idle rm to sgd and pay for it.

compare this to what people have lost 300k for a person I was watching, arising from the takeshi scammer.

those who are battling cancer, kidney failure forking out tens of thousands a month

lily cataract

Today i brought lily to see the eye vet. Initially was already thinking will pay 7k for both eyes. But the bill is 9-13k range. Got to prep to pay and pay.

Strategize to use my rm to change to sgd daily 830sgd for next 2 weeks.

Although i can do nothing but since i am capable of paying for this, i decided to go ahead. Regardless it will be a long term thingy for lily as there will be followups for life after this.

What i didnt do for xb, i 连本带利do for lily. No regrets.

Today vet bill 600

Moving house - no chance

I went to check, based on my current pay of 2800 gross, how much loan could i take. 

Drum roll .... around 148k

How could i afford another flat with 148k. It definitely made me 死心.

Just no way

So dun ever think abt tt

Mark lee talk show

MBS sand threatre

17 Oct 8pm

I went with G to this show. Got a tix at 48. We set off at 3pm for dinner at olive vines, i ate a salted egg yolk with rice set with cake and a coffee for 13.90. Shiok

Then we walked briefly around marina square. Then we went to MBS.

Walked around and finally got into the threatre. The show was enjoyable, i was engaged for 2hrs. No hp.

Abit of laughter but it was enjoyable.

Hehe this is our 4th show - phantom of the opera, 972 two dramas and this one.

lost another tooth

I couldnt bite anything on my left side for weeks so I arranged for an appt with my dentist on thurs 15 oct.

Long story short, my lower left last 2nd molar tooth had decay and unsalvageable. So extracted it plus my dentist found 3 more cavities. 500 gone on that day.

I am losing my teeth despite me flossing and diligently visiting my dentist every 6 months. My dentist also find it weird.

At the age of 43, I had done 2 dental implants (on lower right), 3 crownings - 2 on lower left and 1 on the right but the right tooth decayed and was removed in Feb 25. 1 vernier.

My dentist suspect could be my saliva density but nothing could be done except to drink more water.

The dental costs are a damper on my money but i do not want to save money and end up losing all my teeth.

Indigestion

suffered indigestion at work, after a lei cha rice and papaya milkshake lunch. ate gaviscon, and 4 antacids.

documenting my indigestion episodes

bored sunday

today is my usual, as in, i bathe and mop floor. after tt, i do not know what to do with myself.

i alternate between youtube, ps5 and playing music. decided to finally play inuyasha song on erhu, woo was bad and just posted the best version out of the 30x videos.

Random thoughts

Kept doomscrolling on lazarda and shoppee. Jialat, dunno how to keep myself busy.

I could just read or practise keyboard but not doing.

Haiz. Bored at work, bored at home, bored outside.

JB with Y

Today went to JB with Y. Main kpi was to bank in mum's cheque.

Y did that while I went to do some shopping. Bought two tops. Then we met at Watsons and I bought a lot of skincare and toothpaste.

We then went city sq, wanting to eat lunch. Most shops are closed so we went to buy bbt at gongcha and ate one pastry from ming an.

Then we grabbed to Paradigm mall. Never been there.

Ate lunch at oriental kedai, Y ate a Indonesian dish while I ate spicy ban mee. It was too spicy, could not finish it. Y helped with a few bite.

Then we went to find demon slayers stuff. At impulse trading,bought 2 demon slayers, 摆乌龙 thought got 3 for 2. Had to diu lian and put back one. Then yenn song yong wo to buy a PS5 controller. Found a metallic green one and bought it. Wanted to pay with Tng but it failed...

Yenn paid cash 497.

Then we went to popular, bought some pens. Walked a bit, Y went to shit.

Decided to eat cendol, and it was not too bad.

Went back to oriental to buy some food stuff.

Then we made our way back.

Filled with anxiety as yenn card failed. Mine I think failed too because I did not enable the overseas transaction so my trip sg to msia was not paid. Think it got blacklisted. Then my card failed when boarding cw2 at sg side. Y used her card.

Managed to make it back to sg.

Made me think twice about taking cw bus.

Next time need to use my Citibank one cos my posb one should be blacklisted.

Lily antics

Ever since xb passed away, Lily had been waking me in sometimes from 2am onwards. She does this by sniffing super loudly at my bedroom door gap.

in the midst, spewing her mucus on the bedroom door gap area, yucky.

Her antics worsened my insomnia issues.

2 days ago, a brilliant thought crossed my mind. i decided to spray my bedroom entrance with lemongrass fragrances.

this is a scent lily and xb hates. i used to spray it over areas the dogs peed accidentally.

started this trick on sunday night, wow, she really didnt do the sniffing. i repeated yesterday, and she also didnt do the sniffing.

though i woke up, but it was due to a full bladder rather than due to noise. i could get back to sleep shortly.

finally some use for my lemongrass fragrances.

braun buffel wallet

I bought myself a 135 red braun buffel wallet 

Initially was aiming for a 100 buck green wallet then i chanced upon the red small wallet. It was an online exclusive and it fit all my criteria.

Waited a few days and just took the plunge. Sept had been a spending mood.

Not sure why, but keep feeling time is running out...for me. Shall see if my hunch is correct.

Had this feeling when i tio the 100-day cough cos was coughing so bad, but miraculously recovered. Was so bad i wanted to get an xray but it went away b4 i could try to book one.

Been buying blindboxes almost every week, but everytime tried to rein in, ended up spending more.

I bought my LG a pink paper flower, made it on 24 sept, which was his birthday. He loved pink. I hope he feels happy with the gift.

xiaomi truclean 30

Shortly after i bought the vaccuum mop, i realised it drips droplets while mopping. Initially was v impulsive and wanted to throw it out but today, I thought about my past vaccuum mop.

The first one was 599, roidmi 30 and the circular mop head wheels came off but it still function as required. I had it for 4 years and it never gave me much prob.

2nd was xiaomi truclean 20, bought for 280. It lasted me 1 year plus and the reason i wanted the 30 was that it can lie down 180deg so i can clean under furnitures and bed. Also, it doesnt last long, plus the suction is weak so it does not pick up hair easily. It also cannot wipe stains effectively because the mop head does not have a downward suction.

Indeed, with 30, i no longer needed to sweep the floor first. It has a longer battery life, so i can just leave it on a stain and it could mop away the stains especially lily dried mucus.

It also has a drying function so the mop head does not smell. 20 smells badly.

But i gave my 20 to my mum because they do not mop the floor regularly so i go there every week to help them mop with 20, with new mop brush. It still does a decent job when u compare mopping vs no mopping :)

I am going to raze my 30 to the ground before changing. Dont be fickle minded.

awfully choc brunch buffet

Went to awfully choc brunch buffet with sis, G. Had funny conversations where we felt judged for being lok kok, wore crumpled tops and slippers to it.

Dont think it is worth the 45 bucks. The savory and desserts were not impressive... anyway G went with me to city hall after wards to walk off the fullness. I went for my erhu class while she went to suntec to jalan jalan.

Werent feeling good so drank 2 kopi. Got ourselves a phone skullpanda accessory and we got the same one. Duplicates. Anyway went home after buying tian ren bbt but with no bb.

Spent 100 bucks plus erhu 65 ha. Helped with the economy.

FI

Money cannot buy happiness, but it buys freedom. 

It pays for half of my monthly expenses while i work part time for other half.

I only work three days, this is such a luxury. Also, because I still suffer from insomnia, the two days allow me to catch up on my sleep when needed.

I got 4 rest days every week. Such a luxury. when I complain of being tired, my coll always joked back said I work 3 days, looks who is talking. A reminder I am blessed. I forget this on days when I suffer insomnia.

I still spend on a whim, didnt rein my expenses precisely becos I am FI.

reddit sgfi

Had not been readinf the sgfi reddit then decided to check if there are any interesting topic. Shortly then came across a post about ppl earning 110k etc etc.

Reminded me why I decided to not read such stuff because there are numerous such posts of ppl flexing. 

Hate ppl flexing but i am also reminded of my own yt whether I am flexing also. Need be mindful.
