Upgrading from 20,000 mAh to 30,000 mAh fast charging power bank

This is taken on the evening of October 2022. Where I managed to spare my time to unboxed and test the new 30,000 mAh power bank. Bought it as the previous 20,000 mAh only able to charge my phone Samsung A11 to 50% only. 

Quite heavy with 614.8 gm. 
Have digital display of battery percentage left. 
Have tried charge my Samsung A11 phone from 26% to 80% within NN minutes. Which the power bank still left 34 from 34. Quite amusing.
But the battery fully depleted after charged my Huawei phone up till 62%.
Then it took almost 10 hours to fully charged up from 0% to 100% using the micro USB cable that comes with it. Which I used my fast charging 2.4 A adapter to charge it up.

The power bank have 2 input port for charging: micro usb and usb type C. However the usb type C hole too small to accomodate my usb type C charging cable. Well, have to only use micro usb cable that comes with the power bank pack.
Close up on the 30,000 mAh power bank.
The look of small usb type C input port.
The look of micro usb input port, usb type C output port and 2 unit usb output port.
The look of turn on button.
Specification of the 30,000 mAh power bank.
The look of the power 34% in the power bank when received.
Main reason of buying this power bank is to be used for my portable fan and Samsung A11 phone. As my body easily heating up. Side effect that my body experiencing after consuming prescribed high blood pressure and cholesterol medicine after accident. 90% cheaper spend on this power bank than to buy new phone replacing my Samsung A11.
Until then, have fun in using 30,000 mAh power bank.

The look of my papaya fruit before stolen

The look of high blood pressure and cholesterol medicine that I have to consume in daily basis

This is taken on the evening of 22 November 2022. Since my cousin is questioning the prescribed 4 mg of my high blood pressure medicine. As he said it should start from 5 mg. Well, this is what is prescribed to me by a medical doctor in Pusat Kesihatan UTM. After they carefully examined me. 
The look of prescribed high blood pressure medicine: Covinace 4 mg. I need to take 1 tablet per day.

My prescribed cholesterol medicine: Stavid 20 mg.

So far, my health condition improves after consuming both on daily basis. Start to consume 3 days after my total loss accident. High blood pressure might be the cause of the accident. Only God knows.
The doctor even tests my liver after 1 week consuming of both medicines. To see if it badly affects my liver or not. The side effect of the medicine varies among people. I was even advised by non-medical people who do not even consume high blood pressure medicine to not eat the prescribed medicine. Well, since I am the one who needs to be responsible for my health, I decided to follow my doctor's advice. Those people not even helping me out after my accident. Not even worth listening to.
At the end of the day, you are the one who needs to take good care of yourself. Whether you like it or not.
Until then, have a consistent intake of your prescribed high blood pressure and cholesterol medicine.

The look of fruit buds to planted MD2 pineapple

This is taken on the morning of 21 November 2022. Where 2 of 3 unit MD2 pineapple plants planted outside the lab just start bearing fruit buds.




This is after we experiment using a homemade mixture to force the fruit buds out last 28 September 2022. Which took 51 days or 1 month and 21 days for us to notice the fruit buds come out last evening 17 November 2022.

I need to use this model since I prefer the angle and quality of pictures taken by me. It is just my preference. 

One from 2 of pineapple fruit buds was already booked by Mr. Arif this morning of 22 November 2022. One more by others. So fully booked.

Until then, have fun experimenting a homemade mixture to force the fruit buds out of your planted pineapple plants.

My review on movie "Bullet Train"

Watch it at noon on 12 November 2022. I can totally relate on the off-track part where the bullet train runs off track. Since I experienced a total loss accident last September 2022.
Filling in for others' work is not an easy task. It is also not easy to finished tasks or survive with all obstacles coming like assassins. Just my way of relating to the movie.

Verdict
Good to watch. Can see why Sandra Bullock and Channing Tatum from the movie "The Lost City" make their cameo in the movie [1]. Since Brad Pitt does make his cameo in the movie "The Lost City".
Somehow, there is not much younger main actor in the current movies. Not sure why the current trend is like that. Maybe the younger actors have already grown like me.

I like the way they explain the meaning of ladybug in the movie. Since the Ladybug (Brad Pitt) considers himself unlucky and has terrible luck, actually he is quite fortunate in the midst of all the misfortune. As he is still alive despite all the misfortune and injuries during his mission. Which leads to his survival at the end of the movie Bullet Train. Similar to me that survived a total loss accident.
Until then, have fun enjoying the movie "Bullet Train" [2].

My review on perfume Floral Blush EDP by Coach

This is taken at the noon on 2 November 2022. Receive it from a friend of mine as a gift. Well, that is after more than 1 month he is back reporting for duty. I have specifically requested for Gucci Flora. Maybe he thinks it is too strong for me to wear. As this perfume Floral Blush EDP by Coach really has a similar scent to the perfume I used to wear during my degree last time around year 2002 till 2007. Maybe he just wants to keep me with the scent he used to associate me with last time. Despite the change in my perfume preference as I am aging 😬.




It does not have dedicated lid. Just a simple plastic. Well, I have no issue bringing it in its box daily due its small size.

My review:

From my nose, the initial spray reminds me of a Strawberry sugus. After using it on 3 November 2022, I can notice the scent is similar to Trésor Midnight Rose by  Lancôme [1]. But in a lighter way yet still retaining its sweet and fresh scent. More suitable in the hot humid weather of Malaysia. As for Trésor Midnight Rose by  Lancôme, I tend to use it only on a rainy day or colder weather or night time only. Since it is the more rich and heavier scent. I prefer to refrain from suffocating others with its sweetness.

I spray 2 spritzes and dab them all over before wearing clothes in the morning. Then I spray again 1 spritz after Zohor prayer at 2 pm on 3 November 2022. As I feel need to top it up due to its light scent.

Few information on the perfume:

  • Fragrance Family: Floral Fruity [2].
  • Fragrance Notes [1]: Goji Berries, Raspberry, Pineapple, Pear, Peony, Lily, Ylang Ylang, White Rose, White Woods, Patchouli, Crystal Musk, Vanilla.

Until then, have fun enjoying good fruity floral perfume while reminiscing the good younger years.

Say Something Song by A Great Big World

I just love this song's melody and also its lyrics. It somehow reminds me not to give up on myself. As if I have given up on myself, then no one will ever help me out unless I help myself.

My new pineapple offsprings for my gardening collection

This is taken on the morning of 12 September 2022. Just manage to soak all three of them in fertilized water. Despite receiving it last 10 September 2022. Too swamped with workloads.
I am grateful for the seller wrote the pineapple's name or type on its leaf. As it would make my life much easier to label them later in their dedicated container.
Type of pineapple is Batavia, golden trad and cobek. Hopefully, all 3 of them will thrive growing under my care.
Until then, have fun adding exotic pineapple types to your gardening collection.

My review on Trésor Midnight Rose by Lancôme

Start using the hand lotion last 28 August 2017. Then I eventually own it after smelling it good on others.


For me, it smells like pink strawberry or blackcurrant sugus. Suitable to days I wanted to feel like bubbly kids mode. Since life as an adult is not a fairytale.

Credit to picture of Blackcurrant sugus from the Google search.

I always use 1 spritz before wearing clothes. Then add 1 more spritz if necessary. Usually not since this perfume is quite rich and heavier side. I do bring perfume with me. In case need to top it up in the noon to freshen up.

FRAGRANCE NOTES [1]:

Top Notes: Jasmine, Peony, Blackcurrant, Pink Pepper

Heart Notes: Rose Absolute, Raspberry

Base Notes: Virginia Cedar Essence, Vanilla, Musk

If you feel that this scent too overbearing, can always opt for Floral Blush from Coach [2].

Until then, have fun enjoying good perfume that helps to lift up your mood.

How to retains wetness of wet tissues pack without lid

This is taken on the noon of 8 November 2022. I finally remembered to take picture of my wet tissue pack that I bought without a lid. I choose the one without a lid as it is cheaper. Plus I have my own way to retain its wetness throughout the usage time.
I store it in a clear see thorough plastic bag. Easier to look for it. So far, this method has retained its wetness until it is completely finished. Been practicing it since 2018.
Until then, have fun retaining your wet tissue pack wetness.

My make up look for wedding dinner

This is taken last evening of 11 November 2022. I was invited on behalf of my Mum. Relatives on my father's side.
The look of food during the dinner.
It was a good and nice event. Happy to see the bride and groom beaming with smiles. No pictures much taken of the bride and groom. Since the screen was quite far and I am located also quite far from the path. 
Selfie with my gorgeous Auntie that invited me. Despite we are same age. Her mother is same level with my later grandmother. The last time we meet is during my 4th brother wedding in 2011. Which means we have not seen each other for 11 years.

Silicone lid for my mug to keep the content safe from diving insects

This is taken on the noon of 10 November 2022. Where I used the silicone lid on my mug in the lab. This is to keep the content of the mug safe from insects diving in it.

The look of my full internal phone memory in the morning

This is taken on the morning of 31 October 2022. Where my Samsung Galaxy A11 phone internal memory left only 36 MB from 32 GB. I have to manually clean up and transfer the content of the internal memory to SD card. Regardless it is a tedious work, it is still way cheaper than buying a new phone. So need to be patience and move on. 


Until then, be patience and carefully transfer files from your phone internal memory to SD card.

How I use lab coat in daily life

Normally people will use lab coat for experiment in lab or on medical work like medical doctor. Like me, I use the lab coat to protect my work clothes from fur sticking on it. As my cat named Furball just love to hug me very much.

Furball just unable to stop herself from asking for my attention. This happens when you have the one and only cat like anak tunggal. She no longer care to stray roaming around outside the house. Just keep on sitting in my lap asking for pets, kisses and hugs. Or wait patiently for me to finished off tending my plants. Well, I am grateful for that also. To be able to have a cuddly cat as my teddy bear substitute. I do found that I am more calm and happy spending time with her than others during my weekend and free time. Maybe due to aging process makes me a homey person.
Until then, have fun caressing your cat with a lab coat to have fur free work clothes.
