April 2025

It is beginning to get colder now. The family refuse to move on to thermal wear. Best to avoid falling sick.

March 2025

I find I feel sleepy pretty much most days. I cannot explain as to why that is the case. I have so much to do, I cannot afford to rest too often.

 

Work

We will be highlighting the resources on one of the research guide. It is really cool to see how it done and unfolds. 

PoGo

Some players have become unresponsive after many years of playing and have forgo on efforts. Despite the game is still rolling on.

 

Dating

On pause. Due to lack of interest to deal with fake accounts.

February 2025 - Japan trip

Our 10th trip was plagued with arguments. 

My sister kept complaining there were too many stairs in each city and train station. She went to complain each mea made her sick. She went to bitch how I am denying her time to watch Twitch in the hotel. Then she said I had cocked blocked her from her shopping time. 

Hey! Just a minute. She was the one who wanted to get out of the hotel at 10am when sun sets at 4pm, when temples, shrines, museum closes at 4pm. Many of the retail stores close at 7pm, but the ones she wanted o see closed at 5pm and many were permanently closed. It has been 5 years since I have flown to Japan. This time around I was too occupied booking my flights, hotels, restaurants, tickets to sea world, plus comparing transit passes. Besides, I was the only one doing the research. 

 I was not fussed about retail, as the shops I dig, were HUGE and opened late late. I was happy to haphazardly stumble upon gems then to waste transit time to a location that does not have the ONE THING I truly desired. For her it was another plastic toy.

One evening in the first week she stated that I was lazy. Excuse me. I woke up at 5am. I did my morning routine. At 7am, I went out to play Pokemon Go and did raids with others. By 8am, I refilled my water bottle and portable batteries before house keeping came by at 9am. All the while she kept saying she needed more sleep time.

While she purchased fluffy toys, socks, and stickers. I purchased travel pass holders to hold our paper reserved seat tickets neatly, no fancy brand or anything, just soft to touch and doesn't cut the hand. I do like those pass holders connected to a retractable string. So good for IC card. I began to see everyone was using their smart watches on the IC card readers. That's so cool. I want to do that too.

Save on holding so many transit cards. 

Day 1.

February 2025

Hot, hot, hot. Summer is meant to be hot I get that part. When it melts your brain now that's extreme HOT!

I no longer tell mom to leave the windows closed on extreme hot days. I just close them when I am home. This way the heat cannot come into the house through out the day. Of course, I cannot do this when I am at work or out with friends. Oh well, you lose some, win some. I just cannot be bothered to educate thick headed individuals anymore. It is tiresome.

I have started to use cooling pads from Kmart and IKEA over the last few summers and I do get a decent good night sleep out of it. I have tried to pass this information onto my family members, but they said only animals would be found using cooling pads, and that none of their friends have ever mentioned using a cooling pad. Note: these friends are invisible. I care about about my own health above popularity. Besides those folks sleep with the air condition ON. Inhaling filtered chemicals every summer.

 

 

January 2025

It is so exhausting hearing my family members talk about how the restaurant they are dining in was making money off of them and will close shut for business for being too spicy or lacks additional ingredients. Ugh. Cost of living is impacting a great deal of people at the moment. The very ideal these business are still gonna continue on despite current challenges is called having guts to gamble it. I am grateful to have the right dish come to my table the first time.

Hope no one has spat in their noodle soup.

 

More sad is how every conversation with my sister somehow veers off to females in gym active wear are telling her off about her clothing. I am like is that for real? She goes yes, it occurs in Starbucks and it all starts with the person grabbing her drink. It occurs on the trams, on the train stations, on the trams, on the bus. Then it occurs again on her dates, the male she was dating would say the same thing. Though she has no been on a date in years. Look, if the guy left for gym attending individual is not a reason to be vindictive and talk about it non-stop to me. It is killing my brain with all this "whinge-ing" behaviour.

So not a winning topic on date night.

Meanwhile, work we are seeing a decline in interests to run DEI activities. I am teaching myself to write normalisation rules in XML.

Holiday mode for many.

 

Unfortunately, the city group was inconsistent and seems to lacks presence for the last few years. I really do not know who to say "hi?" to and inform that I have checked into the meet up event. I have begun to join another group to do raid days away from the city. I have scored a hundo Giratina Altered from dinner raid on New Year's day. What a magnificent start to the year. Followed by our first mega raid day and I got sufficient candies on my account on a decent pace. No stress. No rush to find a lobby. No need to report in my location, as a group we are stood under the same gym and waited for mid-hour reset. It was a very refreshing way to raid.

My mind is free of stress and clutter.

 

 

December 2024

There this one thing everyone wants - "happiness".  Oddly, they think it is a destination than a feeling. The movie "A Perfect Day" demonstrates what feeling "content" looks like. At the same time, the movie showcases a heap of unusual looking toilets. Hee hee.

Short break.

Daylesford was a lovely country town to walk around despite it was hilly. Sad that the north Hepburn Spring area where the hot spring is located had empty shops and restaurants. Many of them were labelled "for lease". It will sure take a while to revitalise the areas.

 

Aging siblings.

It is such a sad state to watch your sister try to fill the void by talking how about commuters and Starbuck patrons have offended her or done her wrong "somehow". Dude, I have errands to do, I do not want fill my mind with negative thoughts on a 32 degree heat. Save your brags for your mates.

Bro finds parking in the city very stressful. I try to tell him where there super tram stops are located, road works, no through roads, speed humps locations, and up coming events. Whether any of it sits in his brain is another question. 

It is puzzling, it is 2024, everyone has an Internet enabled smartphone, but they cannot find someone else to talk to, find information on events taking place in their city, and check today's weather. What the fuck?! This is bullshit. Omg! Stop with the lies, people.

PoGo in hot summer.

So fabulous to have a Pokemon ambassador willing to come out in hot heat to organise 3 hours raid route. Steve and I bumped into each other. It seems we both chose to go and do a suburb 3 hour raid event. lol. The pattern went like 2 - 1 - 1 - 2 and reverse every 30 minutes. Overall, we did 36 raids. Which is more than most would like to commit to, but we did it in 30 degrees heat. 3 shinies out of 36 raids, that is pretty decent.

November 2024

There is a strange complexity to humans. The state of "un-grateful-ness" and the blaming game. If you are basically inadequate do not go blaming others for your own fallacy. I never in my right mind blame people for no good reason. I rather ask questions than to make statements. I prefer facts and figures to assist me in getting to the answer or conclusion which I so seek.

 

However, unsolicited suggestions are nice, but they may not always suit the situation.Take for example, person A is a picky individual who only wants to hang with beautiful people and will never develop deep friendship.

Person A: You should leave your hair down, you would look better. 

Person B: I have an itchy rash face. 

Person A: Why don't you see a skin specialist? 

Person B: My dermatologist recommended I tied my hair until the rash and itch has subsided. 

Person A: So when would that be?

Person B: I have no idea, but I hope soon. However, eczema comes and goes said my dermatologist.

Person A: Can't you do something about it? You look ugly at the moment. 

Person B: Thanks for flattery. I will do my best to medicate myself, but the body will heal at its own pace.

Person A: So, you are an unhealthy individual.

Person B: I guess, so.

Person A: Best we do not hang out.

Person B: Sure. I respect your choice.

 

Overall, I do not think individuals choose to be unhealthy, sometimes these things are genetic deposition. Well, correct if I'm wrong, but medicine is not exactly cheap and people can only afford the best care based on their knowledge, their salary, and access. Even specialist are picky in who gets to be their client and who they want to go all out in assisting in such matters.

 

 

Many humans are picky lot, who destroy this planet, and rob animals of their homes. It is a sad state of affairs to see this planet filled with humans of this kind. I pray for a better tomorrow by educating others to tolerate other people's looks and feelings. So that, we can move away from such superficial interactions and focus on repairing this planet instead.
