Rm108 omakase

 

Very very underwhelming

1/10

SS15

Vibrant university neighborhood 

World's largest hotel

 

Really? I suppose it is true.. 

5 pull ups

 4 months in the making

Openai codex

 Previously with just chatgpt (plus), vibe coding with copy n paste was already miraculous. Now with vscode codex agent, coding takes place automatically upon chat instruction. This is an even bigger miracle 

'Calculens' now ready for practical use. So far no one gives it a side glance even when I offer it for free.. 

Full pull up

Achievement unlocked - verified

Completed 2 full pull ups, with arms fully straightened 

Cats galore

 

These are not stray cats. They are are pets with homes and they chill outside every night. 

Secondary school friends

We graduated from secondary school in 1994 and have been hanging out ever since..! 

Full, clean pull up

One of the holy grails of fitness 

After half following a half structured training plan for a few months (with a strain in between) , I succeeded in doing one full pull up, I felt it and went for it and it was done

One of the pivotal moments of my adult life. One major achievement unlocked. Yes this is greatness made. 

I feel like a new person. I feel like I can kick out some bad habits, and do many good, cool things.

 Pikachu at lalaport

Interesting Thai vegetable platter 

Chillin'

2025 year end break day 8

 Genting trip

Fake northern lights 

World's biggest hotel

Mamak

Merry x mas in genting.! 

I am now a classic member 

Mission : to get to gold membership the sensible way

2025 year end break day 6

On the road for a few hours

Highlight of the day : subscribed to chatgpt plus for rm99 per month. Verdict is still out there for me. 

2025 year end break day 5

 Lunch at kajang, I was chatty as usual..

Avatar 3 - the BIG screen at IOI Mall was pretty good. I never subbscribed to the frenzy of the franchise, to me it look too video-gamey.  I recall Avatar 2 has surprisingly many violent and gory scenes, I found Avatar 3 engrossing and refreshing (the new fiendish antagonist is played by the same actresses who portrayed the kind and gentle wife Rob stark in GOT) 

2025 year end break - day 4

 Sunway velocity

Full China vibe at Nanjing street. Our taste buds may not fully embrace authentic chinese food but authenticity is the true seasoning of all cuisines

Still one of my favourites found at lalaport

This is surprisingly nice

2025 year end break day 3

These breaks are getting increasingly difficult to come by. Need to make each day count by committing to blog (it helps..!)

Spend the best part of the day at UMMC. The earliest ultrasound appointment for my mother is next May(!). Government provided medical care is good but one can't rely on it completely, one has got to plot one's own chart in this long and arduous journey taking of one's health. 

Chatgpt cheapest subscription is a marked improvement over the free tier last year, and is the sole reason for my reignited coding project (I can no longer understand how anyone could finish coding anything in the pre AI days). Currently seriously considering upping my subscription (the curent tier can do stuff but it has difficulty retaining it's memory, it's like a very smart person but with dementia) 

Definitely should find some time to line up favourite YouTube channels / clips

Sinners

 A fun and engaging romp. Watched in IMAX

Supernatural movies done right are always good, irresistible fun, and more so when peppered with a touch of American history. 

Reminds me of 'from dusk till dawn'.  Shooting the lead as two different characters in the same frames is a a technical marvel (and I cannot fathom how it's done)

Sg airlines

 Cost $400+, not much different to any regular budget airlines experience. The only highlights were the neatly dressed air stewardesses and a free cup of drinking

Face recognition, passport not required..! 

I don't understand these people who pay more than required 

Klia1 - a hit of nostalgia..! 

Day of detox - Christmas

 Christmas dink

La Stellar maison

I left a Google review..!

Supper with bangsarian bros

Day of detox 3 4 5

 Engrossing with my renewed endeavour with flutter (this time with the help of AI).  It has been occasionally satisfying but is still a journey of frustration 

Other breather activities

Day of detox 2

JB museum of Chinese settlement

Old school Chinese character typewriter 

Famous eats

Air Asia 

Had to joy to experience a 5 hour delay, and be compensated with a refreshment pack 

Also tried the legendary a&w coney dog separately. Soft warm bread, Al Dante sausage, rich satisfying onion sauce.  It was a pleasant surprise. 

And I clocked 17k steps getting shoved around throughout the day.
