2020

 Business I didn't check much on the utility. Based on the number of workers inclusive of my Dad's, for his business to at least not to make a loss, would be to earn at least 1300 to 1400 per day. The shorter the workdays, the more the money is required. This is also based on 30% profits of sale per day to make up for employee cost. If 50 percent of the time, this is not met, the loss is at least 5200 per month. If 100 percent of the time, the loss is 10400 per month.... One year, loss would be between 62400 to 124800 per year. Enough to buy car/house in Malaysia. This is just salary alone. Excluding all utilities and equipment which is like a small sum compared to this.  When your own workers getting paid for these and still carry on to take away business by dealing with customers offline excluding the company, using company's materials and gaining profits from it. Who paid for the raw materials, storage, equipment and work pass? I do think Brunei can improve more. I think...

 When I went shopping with Mum to buy Chinese New Year decoration, a little girl was looking at the ice cream box while I was paying. After I am done, Mum took an ice cream, passed it to me along with a few dollars. I thought she wanted to eat that so I go along with it. Turned out, she wanted to give it to the little girl. I stopped that. Actually, there are reasons why parents don't buy ice cream for their kids. I knew that quite well but rebel against that. The girl might have condition that ice cream is not allowed so we should not simply give ice cream to kids and some more, the parents not around. It could be allergy which can be life threatening. In the end, I ate it. :P Remember an instance, I used to buy 20 cents ice tube to a kid of Dad's employee. She kept on staring at the ice cream too so I bought her. I was like 10-11 and the kid was like 5-6 years old. Then while looking after the shop and chatting with the employee, she realized I was the one who fed the kid ice...

 Some things I definitely knew. Anyway, hope they are truthful too. For now, I cannot say a thing. Either I continue my business in Malaysia or continue but wait till a later stage to decide. I can see what Dad’s worry but I do know there is some stuff he is hiding. I knew he wasn’t well for a long time but what did I did to solve that? Love or hate? Mainly, now I wanted to save up for them. At least, they don’t have to worry about nobody wants them. Just hope my younger brother wakes up and stop giving troubles. Although, that was just part of the problem. My plan did not include him. Mainly because of my parents. At least by then, he won’t have to struggle with rents, electric/water bill, food bills, phone bills, supplier’s bill, workers bill, taxes, petrols, cars bill, medical bills, and the most gruesome, court case of 13 years. As to the hidden cost to my younger bro was not known, I hope it was not as gruesome as court case. If he stopped his business, and didn’t have to pay ...

 Photo my mum took while on the way to Brunei after visit to Lawas at Temburong bridge.  As always, she took the photo from the back when I drove. Cannot find old photos… Dad wanted to take pic of the bridge. Sometimes, it felt like I just get to know them again after a long while not at home.  I took some too but too bad didn’t take one for my mum.  It was like driving into the sea. It was really a peaceful ride. Actually I liked driving in Brunei or Lawas. Because there weren’t a lot of cars. I do know where to avoid the crowded places. Driving is fun. Finding ways a bit adventurous but dangerous. Finding parking is the worst. Another was security. Hope Malaysia will improve on that with the new leadership. I think growing old in Malaysia would be where I eventually ended up with. Since, I am not going to get married or have kids and I am going to out my effort to build a business which I hated about since young. I realised that is a kind of freedom. You can choose...

 Bad enough to meet one villain. Then met a second one. Shit happened. 

 While focusing on something wasn’t easy but I think it is worth a try.  Today, I called Dad. Guess what, he didn’t pick up and it was another woman voice. Oh. I almost thought I got it wrong. It was my sister’s mother-in-law. She told me my Dad forgotten his phones and left it at their place while going back to Miri. I guess he will be very frustrated now because he was almost inseparable from his phones. Mum lost one of her keys. Have I told you about my time in Brunei for a month? I have been finding their phones, their keys, Walking stick, Cup, my socks and phone too, so on. Everyday, there were always things to find. Not only that! My older sis almost lost her phone. She boarded the plane and realised her phone was missing. We cannot tell where it was. The SIA crew quickly realized our panic and came over to us to offer help. Before the take off, they found it and also did verification before returning it to my sis. While reaching Sg, before getting off the plane, I canno...

 I realised the best time for jail breaker to break out is during cny. Everyone wearing red.
