Update of Me

Time has passed since I last visited. I've been so preoccupied with other things that I've forgotten about this blog. Many things have occurred in my life, yet none of them have been bad. 

I was introduced to a writing-assist program while working off-site with some pals. Grammarly and Quillbot are just two of the many available options. Every one of them is useful in its own way. For my part, I went with Quillbot. I could easily drain my financial account if I subscribed to them all, so I settled on only one. Intriguing as it may be, I have tried my friend's premium version of Quillbot and found it wanting. One of my favorite features is the ability to paraphrase, and Quillbot can do several different kinds of paraphrasing. This is a job that I take pleasure in doing. 

In addition, I upgraded to a new mobile device. I've decided for a top-notch camera phone this time. As an avid photographer, I find that this particular mobile phone is ideal for me, especially when I want to capture images late at night. Also, I got a brand-new digital wristwatch. The previous model was sold to a close companion. When I play badminton, I utilize my brand-new smartwatch. Despite my reservations, it can keep track of the time, my heart rate, and the calories I've burned. At least there is some information being collected. 

Quillbot is assisting with this piece of writing, from grammatical checking to paraphrasing, even though I found its style to be a little off-putting. Simply said, we can't accept every suggestion. We must make a wise decision when selecting the best option.

What's Up Till Mid December 2021

 

Hi All. Here's some updates on what's up till Mid December 2021.

Due to recent workload, I forgot to update this What's Up thing. And now here it is.

1. Got my new bike on on the fourth week of November. It was already registered on the 17th but I only received it a week after that. 

2. Had put some additional equipment on my bike such as Givi Rack and RCB Adjustable Absorber. I also changed the tyres to Corsa Cross S.

3. Using my previous Givi Antartic 42L box. It is big. 

4. Gave my first webinar on disaster management this year. Will be moderating another webinar soon.

5. Finished writing an emodule for my webinar's topic.

6. Daughter's first outing on her own. 

7. Got my 3rd dose booster jab. It's a pfizer. Previous 2 doses were Sinovac. The after effect was quite interesting as it started on the second day. 

8. Injured my right knee (knee sprain) during my third badminton session. Now it's been 3 weeks of no badminton. May return back next year.

9. Everything began to resume it's normal operation. More vehicles on road. 

10. Got myself a new Zeus Vintage helmet that matches my new bike's color. 

11. Rise of the living cost. 

What's Up Till October 2021

 

What's up in October.

1. Waited for almost 2 months for my new bike but unfortunately, still no news. I felt cheated by the empty promises made. I remember when I booked my Yamaha scooter (with a booking fee, of course), the saleswoman told me its between 1 or 2 months. But it seems like it will be delayed much more longer. I had lost hope and interest. Yamaha need to do something.  

2. Bought the Alpaka Sling Bag from Oribags. The sling bag is so slim and easily worn with magnetic straps. Feels very secure. Alpaka claims it is anti theft.

3. Life is slowly returning back to normal. We can travel interstate (I had yet to do it). I had my first home visit, visiting a relative at Cyberjaya. We had lunch there.

4. My office will return to 100% work from office very-very soon. Roads are full with vehicles again. 

What's Up Till September 2021

 

I realized that I had not update the what's up thing since my last post in February 2021. That's almost 7 months. Lot's of things had occured during that period of time. Just giving some that I thought were important enough to recall back.

1. Covid 19. Me and my family were tested positive. Me, my wife and my two kids aged 12 and 9. I had to be sent to the hospital as my oxygen level was dropping. 6 days in the hospital that was full with covid patients was an experience I would not forget. This was in July 2021.

2. Booked a new scooter but it seems that the factory is struggling to assemble all the bikes that were booked. The factory had actually need to close down for a few months due to covid19. Now it seems not being able to recover fast. I don't see I would get my scooter this year or maybe the first 6 months of next year. I don't mind because it was not my priority in the first place. I admit I still love my powerful 150cc moped. I might changed my mind if that factory still could not cope it's production. I do think their management are taking things lightly.

3. My workplace had two vaccine centers and I was assigned to one of it. It's really nice to join in the team as I would be directly contributing to my country in the fight against covid. Suddenly I became part of frontliners. I received both my vaccine doses here.

4. Finally serviced my SUV eventhough the mileage was far beyond the limit. This is due to our country's lockdown where we can't really go out far from home.

5. Bought Dyson vacuum cleaner few months ago. Being using it almost daily and it did not disappoint me and the wife. Besides the hefty price, everything is on the positive side. 

6. Tried to repair my son's tablet. Went to Samsung Service Center and they told me that the tablet is obsolete discontinued product, so Samsung did not produce the spare parts anymore. 

7. Just recently I recovered almost completely from the effect of Covid. Those post covid syndrome are real.
