Dashcam & diarrhea

 Yeah, basically the title is my story for the week. The on off stomach churning pain since Tuesday morning until yeah Sunday morning (the time I'm writing this). The thing I remember the night is eating family mart oden. It's still recovering.. Because every time I eat eating it's a small or moderate punch. The worse is Friday evening. I thought I got all better since Thursday afternoon (this girl fasted), but Friday midday prove me wrong and the car drive home even wrong. By the time I park my car at the library to pick up my sister the sudden ultra volcanic pain come and it's definitely the mega red warning light. I go to nearest public restroom and now what? As I fondle the door knob only to find it close on Friday. Out of all days. And there, there was no point of saving. The shame. Just good things, it didn't got anywhere else, we were 10 minutes from home and my sister can drive. So yeah I crouch on the car's mat fitting me snugly. I was saved in some sort. The night was another battle. 

The funny but good thing is during Tuesday my way to dashcam installation centre (good experience, note: 70mai dashcam A200 entry level, not sharp so need to be really close for the number plate to show) and my walk in IOI, my stomach was entirely fine. And yeah, I enjoyed my short solo date not so date. I guess I like the short walk in the mall if it means getting 1 food I would like to indulge at the moment (Boost) and getting the budget friendly option ones from Aeon (popcorn). I did walk by Timephoria popup booth swatching lip stain code Nerose (#6) & Quanta (#7) on the back of my hand. I did swatch all but these two are MLBB. Nerose was more pinkish and seemingly natural while Quanta seem to have slight purplish deeper undertone. I didn't purchase at the popup of course because I know I can get it cheaper on shopee (RM34 vs RM23). I just need to sure about the shade. And happens my Peripera lip tint is finish (like what 2 months only??), so on Friday it's ordered. Considered purchase both shades as it's cheaper but ended up up on Nerose. I've been wearing it for an hour now, though it's still early I have to say I like watery texture instead of the glossy one (I prefer less gloss), and I would like it more deeper and natural colour. 

Also, I find I less beat myself up this week. At least since Friday. It's okay to prioritise rest.

Andd. I think that's good enough for this week. I've got to go. Working locum.

Mall walk but no diarrhea please,

3rd tasmik + cousin's wedding + birthday (and pizzaa).

This week I saw I'm slowly transitioning to have interest in looking my phone. Is it good or a bad thing? I don't quite know. It seems for small breaks between big work block are fine but I find if weekends a quick lay in bed while day dream is therapeutic. So quick dopamine fixes vs slow calms eh. I'm at locum so I'm writing in between customers' visit (note: Plan to fold clothes after my shift). Overall, this week I'm battling my subconscious mind mainly when I decided to cancel my thursday's off day. Something I will not do again. This week also pak Jang starting to live with us, I just hope he's healthy, safe and enjoy living with us. Old age.. Oh and also there's two addition to the girls trip. Haha. Hope everything goes well. Aamiin. Also to wonder what's life without sugar?

Alhamdulillah I passed my tasmik. This one is relative easy but I battled whether I wanted the 100 mark and that it is not important. The tasmik before this, it was not my concern. But yeah my achiever side kick in. Huhu. Ikhlas is to struggle for. Then the afternoon was my cousin's wedding. 32. Nice. But due to this 2 events, I forgot my youngest sibling's birthday. Anyhow, me & S, get takeaways for korean chicken and pizzas. Do you know how grateful I am to have local home company pizza that are not boycott? Alhamdulillah. And Alhamdulillah, my family quite like the pizza even though it's no longer hot. Also to remember I jokingly read ruqyah when my mother farted. So much for wanting to have a daughter who can 'darussyifa'. It was a grand laughter between all, including mom. Haha. 

Today was kinda failure in my ibadah but I was productive with helping the kitchen so good. It's okay. It's okay. Tomorrow's a better day. Still.. I am kinda of a hypocrite (as I find chill in lagho things - music in locum, and after finishing tasmik pulak tu), right? Huu. 

Yeay to pizza (I kinda want one now),

What would a rest day without screen time looks like?

That's my question for this weekend. It's only Saturday but this weekend is a free weekend for me, my only agenda is locum this afternoon. So I asked chatgpt and here what it says;

A rest day without screen time can be surprisingly refreshing, especially if you're usually plugged in. Here’s what it can look like:

A rest day without screen time can be surprisingly refreshing, especially if you're usually plugged in. Here’s what it can look like:

🌿 Morning

Wake up naturally (no phone alarm if possible).

Stretch or do light yoga to ease into the day.

Enjoy a slow breakfast — maybe outside or near a window, just watching the world go by.

Read a physical book or journal, or write down thoughts/goals/dreams.

🚶‍♀️ Midday

Take a walk — in nature if possible, or just around your neighborhood. Bring no devices or keep them on airplane mode.

Cook a simple meal from scratch, trying a new recipe or just enjoying the process.

Listen to music on a speaker or radio (without scrolling or checking messages).

Declutter or clean a space — mindfully, without multitasking.

🎨 Afternoon

Do something creative: drawing, painting, knitting, gardening, baking, etc.

Call a friend or family member using a landline or a quick in-person visit (if doable).

Take a nap or rest in silence — notice your thoughts and breathe.

🌅 Evening

Watch the sunset or spend time on a porch, balcony, or just sitting outside.

Play a board game, journal, or read more.

Prepare a cozy dinner, maybe by candlelight.

Take a bath or shower as a wind-down ritual.

💤 Before Bed

Reflect on the day: What did you notice without screens?

Write a few lines in a journal.

Go to bed early without the glow of screens.

Bonus Ideas

Visit a museum or library.

Attend a local event or market.

Practice meditation or mindfulness.

Even just one day like this can reset your nervous system and help you reconnect with what matters. Want a sample schedule or printable version?

It sounds nice. But also like nothing much. Perhaps that what I need to work on, resetting or at least reshifting my weekend norm to this. Basically it means the same but slow routine and includes house chores (house resetting). I tried today, although I don't totally not use my phone, I become more mindful of it. Oh like this is why I use my phone in this moment. 

My Maybank treat points is not there, so I am a bit bummed right now. But the overall update for this week, I truly enjoyed going to the pain course. It's a semi-break slash refresh yet so productive as I'm learning. So so grateful for the opportunity. Alhamdulillah. 

A darken left eyelid, Huhu.

Peek-a-stye

Yow, having a stye definitely not in my agenda for this week but here it was. Monday evening, got back home nyut nyut then 1 hour on my left upper eye lid it was. For a good 2 days it was terribly swollen like someone punch my eye. But it did thought me, hey prioritise yourself, get that rest, just swat off what you think anyone talks about it, it's okay to care for yourself. So when I said last week, trying to rest. I think it's because mentally I was struggling like why can't I perform, why things go wrong, I'm pushing my limits here but yeah somewhat burn out. The only thing I rather wanna do at the time it lay down and stare at the ceiling. Had moments of crying like why I have to sacriface so much. That's the thing with life. So yeah, Wednesday got the mc, cancel my locum shift (for the reason I don't have the heart seeing patients meeting a 'sick' pharmacist. I don't know if a stye qualify for mc, but apparently I need it. Warm compressions all day that day. The stye got better on Thursday, much better on Friday. It's still here today, but barely noticeable. 

Also, as I was struggling this week I couldn't say no to an event I don't wanna go. So here I am stuck with a 2 days getaway with one of my coworker. Not to say I don't like here or all. It's our energy is bicker energy and we mismatch in all ways. So yeah. Last decision, I did honour her request just to a place I can spend minimal budget (also bonus I can just let her steer to her enjoyment because I already went). Another thing about life. Give and ngalah and perhaps I get something too but no hopes on that. So I guess Ipoh I'm coming?

Another update, I'm trying to on Adsense, because in this era this girl needs a bunch of side income streams. At least a few dollars in is better eh?

Into a new routine,
