This long weekend (taking Friday off) I taking a short trip to a nearby town for a eating and tourism holiday with the family, and 2 other families of my wife's friends.
Initially I was quite pumped for this trip. Drive, enjoy scenery, hotel got pool, destination has lots of interesting food and scenery and attractions.
But now I'm a bit hesitant. These friends and their spouses are a bit different in mindset and worldview from us.
We have been on trips with some of her other friends' families. I think we had 4 families, and it was mostly free and easy. If schedules match up then eat/swim/breakfast together, else you do at your own pace.
This trip, I dunno man. I will just enjoy the drive and hope the Hari Raya traffic doesn't totally kill us.
I got some old, secondhand tools from Bulgaria. Feeling like want to layan my superstitious side for a bit - anyone got any small petua to make sure old things don't have any unsatisfied energy?
LMAOOOOOOO
welllll I spin yarn by hand (do you know, due to a number of factors, our cultural groups here excelled in weaving but never really developed the economies of scale to make thread?) so these are some non-Western European European spindles (wah, so complicated; it's just the more non-Orthodox Church and Ottoman side developed different techniques). I'm moving to a fedi-version of a photoblog, but here's my IG* one with one of my last photos on it: https://www.instagram.com/p/CbcCyRAJjMw/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
*my god IG is useless these days to actually see my follows
In my attempt to fix my F key on my keyboard, i killed it instead. Now gotta try beg my sibling to help fix it. Or is there anyone else here who can help me solder it properly? 🥺
Wah, you even know how to solder? Bro, you the man. I do have a spare keyboard I can use in the mean time. I'll see how, if my sibling can't help me, I'll send mine to you.
Today witnessed my colleague getting berated by her boss, resulting in her crying afterwards. Took her in a room and consoled her and once she calmed down we brainstormed enough ideas that she can present to her boss. All good right? except that I actually agree with her boss… yes the berating was too much but the reason was valid. It’s been an ongoing frustration with me too, but she didn’t deserve that la. Dunno what to do now
TNB's latest TV ad is disingenuous. It's not that the cost of electricity has risen. It's that the cost of importing coal has risen.
They're airing the ads as if to warm people up to the idea of raising tariffs.
They should've instead put more resources into renewable energy but the people in charge are too sootbrained, as in every other institutions in the country.
I think that from TNB's point of view, cost of electricity has indeed increased. If I'm not mistaken, TNB buys energy from suppliers (the power stations and any overseas links), distributes and sells to consumers.
It's actually the government's fault, I think there was some discussion about non-tender, direct negotiation to award power plant contracts. IIRC this was brought up by Yeo Bee Yin in one of her social media posts back when she was Minister of Energy, Science and Technology.
😭I only noticed there was a cockroach lurking around after I was done showering. Imagine if it jumped on me when I was in the middle showering. Legit no idea where it came from...
I think so :( It's either it slipped from outside my door(which is unlikely seeing as I would have noticed it earlier) or the drain... the window has a net installed on it so it couldn't be the window. Unless there are some hidden holes somewhere else
