Good Improvement today!

Instead of feeling tired and lethargic like yesterday, I feel must better today.  Busy running errands and finally have a chance to go poolside to relax.  Was up at 4am and poolside was very dark.  Still it is quite relaxing.  I like water and lazing beside water.

I also fix my bicycle wheel.  This time I took out the wheel and bring to the shop.  I think I might have broke one of spoke.  To replace cost $25.  Tire or inner tube is only $12.

Feeling Under the Weather

I am tired and lethargic with sore throat and stuffy nose.  I am down with viral disease probably flu.  It is horrible feeling.  My flu jab no longer works.  I had a jab about a year ago.

So now I am feeling lazy and do not feel like doing anything.  I brought myself to the computer to blog.

Hong Kong is dominating the news.  The protest in getting more violent. So it is not a good place now.  I feel sorry for them.  They were very proud and look down on mainland Chinese.  Now the mainland Chinese are their master.  It is a change in fortune.

X-ray of lumbar

This afternoon I went to Ng Teng Fong for followup of my L4L5 fixation surgery.  The surgeon looked at the x-ray and do not see much progress in the bone growth.  However, he is happy to let me go jogging.  It is quite difficult as there are still discomfit when I run.  Plus my knees are going me problems as well.  So I will stick to cycling and swimming.

No Rain

We have a few episodes of dark heavy clouds and then it clears.  No rain for a couple of weeks and my rain water storage is running low.  It is hard for me to scope out the water!  I hope the rain comes and replenished my water tanks and also I need to change the water in my pond before I put in fresh fishes again.

Over the years, this happened once while I was travelling.  All the fishes died.  So I change the water and start all over again.  I suspect it was our weekly fogging.  So I put a plastic shield and it worked for many years.  Now I am not sure it is the same issue.

I just have to replace the water and start all over again and see.

Busy Time

Although I am busy day to day, I don't feel accomplished.  I read, exercise, run errands and go out for meals.  Days are passing fast.  I need to do more projects.  Today, I changed the water in my pond or rather change half the water.  The fishes and plants are not doing well.  I suspect it may the rust poisoning the water.  All the goldfishes and red fishes are dying as I put fresh fishes in.  They are also not eating.  Only the arowana seems normal.  Maybe its body weight allows it to withstand the toxicity in the water.  I have removed a lot of the sediments and change half the water.  I will continue to change the water to see if I can correct the condition of my pond.

There are plenty to do.  Just that I enjoy reading and is now borrowing audiobooks from the library again.  Now, we can borrow all 20 audiobooks if we want instead of limited to 6 before.

Solar Night Lights

My lights on the outside keeps breaking down due to heavy rains.  It costs about $150 each time for an electrician to come and repair.  So instead of repairing, we purchased solar night lights that cost $6 each.  Plus shipping may come to a total of $8 each.  So much more cost effective!!  Best of all, the energy is free!!

Durian Seeds

I save a lot of durian seeds.  I am planting them.  It will take forever for them to grow and bear fruits.  I just want to see if I can make bonsai with them.  It is interesting to experiment with plants and watch them grow.  I ate one melon yesterday.  It was tiny and did not taste so good.  I will definitely not make it as a farmer!

Free SIM!

Yes, you read right!  It is free.  The data is free and number is also free but works only on the newest phone.

The company is TPG.  We went to collect for the SIM for B1 and sign up for ourselves.  There are lots of oldies there.  According to B1, his colleague tried and it works!

I have the SIM but has not put it to use yet.  Have to figure out where to put it.
