Lately I feel like I'm a little off the scale, sometimes I even talk to myself. When someone tap on my shoulder and ask me if I'm crazy, I would answer no way, I'm not crazy, I'm only insane. Does that make any sense?
Trying to be normal is like, there's a set of new rules. People are allowed to be in the park, provided if they wear a face mask. BUT, those who are doing workout are not required to wear a face mask. So, does it mean those who wear face mask is confirmed healthy?
The other thing is, now all public places has been made mandatory to show prove of vaccination. However, children below 17 can make an exception. So, does it means kids below 17 are immune to the god damn virus?
And also, nowadays all shops need to limit their customers. So, a restaurant which originally can host 40 customers, now can only have 25. We will come back to that later in this post regarding the occupancies issue.
It seems like the only way people get to do "gathering" without having worried to violate the #newnormal would be going to public park. Because there's no limitation of occupancies. So it's like, we're family of 20, we all coown a dog, so we're all allowed to walk the fuckin dawg and you can't do anything about it. And walking dog is covid free activity. So, don't judge me if I don't wear a mask when walking the dog ok.
I think the safest place to go workout, is no longer the park. It should be the public car park. If you ask me, this place is a 100% covid free ground. I'm consider to run car park on my next visit, rather than goin to walk at the park with my mask on.
After a short walk in the morning, I'm feeling exceptionally good. So I proceed to my favorite Subway restaurant. If you do not know, in Malaysia Subway has a breakfast menu which I think it's super worthy. Imagine I need to pay 7 bucks here for a plate of noodle, but I can fetch a 6" sub with egg and egg for less than 7.
On top of that, Subway allow me to customize what kind of grass I want to put in that sandwich, and I can also request to pick the kind of sauce I liked to made up my own sandwich. For the same price I pay for a plate of noodle which is prepared in a close kitchen, I simply prefer to see how they prepare my food(yeah because I'm too lazy to prepare my own food). Partly due to below reason.
See that's exactly why I always tell my home minister to NOT complain when eat out. Even if we have to, insist NO replacement needed. You just won't know what can they "fix" for us. There's one time my older brother and me went to a shop, it was a very warm day. He asked for a slice of papaya, he took a big bite, a chunk of that papaya was gone, and we saw half a worm on that papaya. My bro ask me, where's the other half? ... The point is, the shop owner offer us a replacement and apologized, the rest of the story is HI STORY, I'll leave you to use your imagination. On the side note, my biological brother @jacoblai is healthy and still yet to make his first post after years.
Highlight of a brunch I took was a vegetarian fried rice, a stash of bitter gourd, fried ladyfinger, a hard boil egg and a glass of plain coffee. I'm not sure what am I trying to achieve, but I feel like going to try to stay away from meat. May be I was influenced by @justinparke and his family.
Bank operating hour now shorten until 2pm on working day. Which makes the bank only accept customers by appointment due to limit of occupancies as I mentioned earlier. By the time I'm done with my banking, it was way past lunch hour. I know we call branch because it was in between breakfast and lunch. What about between lunch and dinner? Do we call it Lunner or Dinch?
Ok. Honestly speaking, I have no idea this is actually a vegetarian shop! Even when I order my food, it doesn't mention vegetarian. The curry smell exceptionally thick and strong. I think probably due to no meat, the coconut smell in that pot of curry become stronger than usual, and not forgetting the mint leaf, they're smell absolutely amazing.
And this purple thing, I know sometimes people refer to it as brinjal, sometimes people refer to it as eggplant. To me, it's all vege. Can you teach me why such different name?
This piece of "mutton" is actually made of mushroom leg(stem), recombined with flour, make it taste like meat. I know, I know. We're not supposed to enjoy the "meat" when choose to convert to cow. But it's just the taste, I can spell out it was from a mushroom leg, which means I am actually enjoying it as a mushroom ok.
Let's continue with the occupancy issue. Since the restaurants are forced to accommodate 40% less customer, which makes them no choice but to limit table usage timer. 25 minutes include order, cooking and finish eating and I should gtfooh. Just before I manage to finish the soup, suddenly my alarm clock set off and blarring the entire restaurant. Note that it was about tea break hour, way past lunch. Therefore, the restaurant has only me as customer. But still, a rule is a rule. If the fuzz crash in and raid the place, I will have to show my tracker code. Guess what when I show them I've occupy the property for more than stipulated timing.
Balance of the day is very warm and I have a lot of work need to catch up,
by the time I looked out the window, sun is already setting. I should quickly get a quotation out for my client and I need to pack my dinner...
Ok. I will convert to a cow some other day. For now, let's eat some vegetarian KFC. KFC uses farmed chicken right. So, farm chicken is supposed to be vegetarian. So, eating chicken is still vegetarian ok.
