I almost hit by a red light law breaker motorcyclist at the + junction after work. There was many cars side parking at the traffic lane. This time is a lorry and the driver was unloading. That big sight blockage block the view of traffic lights. The motorcyclist and I encountered at the pedestrian line. He rode passed, got time to stares at me. He didn't apologize and continued riding crossing the traffic when it's still red light.

 

Of course, I was feeling angry. but not far from the place I stay, I heard ambulance and another vehicle sounding alert. Somewhere an accident seemed serious. I was glad that I could walk back without harm.

Realizing why my rented room has transformed for the past 11 years, from a tiny coffee table made out of a shoe box and aluminium biscuit tin with a college basic laptop, to a self-deco inspired digital art table with mid-end gaming laptop.

It wasn't just a hobby collecting artist books and merchandise, priced stuff that I use, and gaining more electronics and furniture. It is a self-recognition, a level that I reached, rewards that I paid off through hard earnings. A salary that define my level and a status of where I stand.

Instead trying so hard to own a car or motorbike, I reach satisfaction inwardly. I even dream of owning a studio unit one day, however.. it's a M40 group income range, only a high position in career can achieve these. Unless I sacrifice to work harder to be successfully self-employed with steady earnings.

I did spent a sum amount of money, but I have no regrets. It's a once in life to live my dreams before my life ends, who knows when.

Today's Dream

 

I was in a transport moving vehicle. A foreign vehicle. Almost like a Hong Kong rail train inside city with horizontal seatings saw in [ Kung Fu Hustle ]  movie.

 

I was holding a bunch of black equipment like I was preparing for an adventure shoot. There's another person sat next to my left, too was holding equipment. My superior? Mentor? Boss?

 

I alight from the vehicle, carrying the not so looking heavy stuff and walk towards... a rural college? high school? The familiar thing I see those youth was some boys wore Dragon Ball costumes, similar to the one I held with my hanger!? What event is this? Why I have too?

7.00am woke up.

I take it that I slept about 3am. So I am still half awake. I planned to stick with morning workout routine immediately after bed as a good habit. But after just 10 sit-up, I crawl back to my comfy spot. Knowing I couldn't stay awake the entire day if I don't rest well now.

 

8.07am woke up.

I feel awake. I completed my workout and went for morning shower. I'm dressed ready at 8.50am. After watching some Japanese guy Youtubers who did their makeup on daily routine as a basic... erm... basic self presentation. Applied the anti-spot cream that I bought before CNY. I happened to meet the uncle I used to buy for lunch. Solved usual my RM20+ lunch for today. A less than RM10 meal can save my food expense by half for a month with consistency.

Back on Thursday,

I received a contact of a devotee teacher I met back in December at Malaysia Buddhist Amitabha Association. She seemed to be in a dire need of help at the association. I owed her and the association my life from the paranormal encounter. So I agreed and came for her help on Sunday, as an assistant [护法] in Mandarin.

 

Sunday.

I was able to reach from 8.25am - 8.55am with 30minutes+ route, thanks to the new MRT line that connects to Hospital Kuala Lumpur. Everything is completely new to me there, my previous experience was an easygoing class, and teacher taught us to make chinese lanterns from Angpaos. Here in association, the kids has class, proper manner teaching and many teachers.

My job as a 护法 is to assist the teacher in class, to help guiding the kids to follow book readings, proper sitting manner check. Other task would be arrive at 9am doing cleaning, arranging chairs, refilling inks, marking attendance. I'm with a guy with blonde hair, I forgot his name. He seemed surprise of my age and career and brought by his uncle here. Guessing he's in his university age.

Today's class, we have 4 students. The fifth one was shy and scared of new environment. So, I couldn't get her name. 2 boys, 2 girls. Girls are more of an observer and "let's wait and see what's next", while boys are more outside thinkers & love sharing out loud and wanted new things to keep them hype. So their personalities has a major differ in class.

They are just 5 years old, and they are learning <<弟子规>> with words that even I as an adult cannot read without pinyin. They really did a good job staying in class from 10.00am to 11.40am

I borrowed a book too. I promise to deliver my freelance work by next week, so I left without having lunch at the association. By time I reach my den after lunch, shower and laundry, it's already past 3pm.

6th April 2024, Saturday

I purchased a spinal support single mattress that costed me RM 400+ include free delivery to doorstep and setup from a furniture expo on 24th March 2024, Heavy storm Sunday.

The mattress arrived on Friday late afternoon instead of weekend said by the seller, with delivery to door and setup was ... not true. The delivery man seemed confused by the request, he didn't deliver on weekends.

Therefore, I have to carry the mattress from the lobby to my room, and setup myself, with my small physique. Glad I'm not born feminine but not as muscular as men. I wore a glove to air lift it back carefully. I don't like my stuff tow on the dust floor as much as possible.

Friday night began my sweaty workout - moving mattress. I'm not sure what happened, but after that lifting, my right shoulder seems located back of my 80% strength. Before that I couldn't even do woman push up or use the dumbbell well because of not knowing when it dislocated.

After that setup and cleaning, it's already past midnight. It was the first time I slept so peacefully. After so many hours of sleep, I still feel sleepy. =w= I have never had a good sleep for quite a while.

1 week has past. For my honest review.

It still bend a little no matter how great the materials make up this mattress. But, the medium heavy, firmness helps sustain my 54.5kg weight more than the soft ones. weight is an important factor to consider when purchasing a new mattress. It's important to choose one that is designed to support your weight and sleep preferences.

Though my back and shoulder still hurt, it's not the mattress not doing its job.

Today's Dream

A slum? There's no greens or water, but a dirt valley with metal scraps and abandoned shelters with broken windows, and no doors. People around me looked starved. I see myself a malnutrition being, unclean hair and broken clothes.

I lived with a pack of poor people under abductor who has taller slender physiques and like a tall gremlin.

They are brute and show aggressiveness when enter without permission. The only valuable I had was a crude rectangular, wooden stash contain some dried beans and scraped veggie ingredients for a meal.

One of the comrades look like an ex-colleague of mine. He's the tallest and strongest physique, but he seemed mentally broken and hurt. He stood at a cliff edge with no will to fight.

I was using a bowl, placing my raw ingredients waiting outside the kitchen,  a gremlin came spilling it out and filled in his, When my most valuable food was knock out, my instinct fought back, pushes the gremlin to fall. I'm undone for..

I scooped the remaining into the bowl and fled the floor to hide. My other comrades began worried when I didn't show up at meet point for labour. 

I was standing at the edge of cliff, holding the bowl. The divider was so worn that is started collapse before me after a crowd of comrades stomping up the cliff.

woke up. Did I... fell ..?
