The weather was great with a beautiful sunset that evening. Food was good, company was good, weather was great. What more can you ask for.
Here are some of the photos we had that night.
We were glad that we get to do some activity during that time. Now that Kuching is back in redzone, all activities have to stop. Stay at home as much as possible, and stay safe everyone.
It’s been a year since my last holiday outside of Sarawak. Our last trip was to Bangkok in Sept 2019.
It’s been a crazy year, I believe everyone feels the same. But life has to go on. We try to adapt, and we try to find happiness in every little thing that we do.
Travelling is something that I always look forward to. And I normally did most of my shopping whenever I went travelling. Now that we can’t travel, I did most of my shopping online for other things except for clothes and footwear.
Let see what I bought in this 1 year period:
Clothes, un-countable, too many, whenever I am happy I shop, whenever I am sad I shop. Plus, now that I seldom go to Malls, so everytime I shop, I have the urge to buy more just in case there will be another MCO. Not good.
Footwear, a pair of sandals, a walking shoes, a sports shoes, and a heels. Very good.
Kitchenware, 1 slow-cooker, 1 clay pot, and 1 cast iron pot.
Electrical device: a robot vacuum and mop, 2 hairdryers.
For bedroom, 2 sets of bedsheets.
That’s all for my major spending, not bad ya? I am reading a lot about becoming Minimalist now, dunno when I can become one.
Proud to say that I didn’t buy any new handbag within this 1 year. Why? Because Rakuten Global is no more available. Sob sob.
I tried to change my diet, which seems to work for a few months.
In May 2020 this year, I started feeling my headache is coming back, and it is getting worse. In Sept 2020, I could get it up to 3-4 times a week! It always started with a blur vision, like bright light, followed by a headache.
I went to see a different doctor in Sept 2020, to do another blood test. He prescribed another type of iron pills to me. The same things happened, I still cannot those pills.
A few days later, I went to get my test result, sure enough, my blood count is still low. And the doctor prescribed me with different pills, folic acid pills this time. Plus 3 different types of migraine’ pills.
Thank God I haven’t had any headaches for the past 5 days now. Hopefully, I did something right this time. Here’s what I did differently. Pre/post headache:
1. I try to go for a walk in the park or cycling daily. Note the word ‘try’.
2. Went for the traditional massage at my kampung.
3. Start taking folic acid 5mg pills, daily.
4. Try to take oatmeal and omega milk for breakfast. Cutting down on kolo mee and laksa, and tea.
5. Spiritual side, keeping blessed salt and holy water close by, both all the way from Jerusalem.
6. Never go to bed with wet hair. I invested in a new hairdryer.
7. Trying my best not to think too much about work once I am home.
8. Started to wear spectacles.
Do you have any other advice for me?
Emmett, when he saw me wearing spec for the 1st time.
Emmett: Mom, you look so different. Like someone that deals with a website or something.
Me: Son, that’s my job.
