My small compact portable fan

This is taken on the noon of 20 April 2025. After the parcel delivered yesterday noon. Upon testing turning it on, battery level at 80%. The portable fan battery capacity is 4,000 mAh.

Able to use it during beraya session in my cousin house in Kukup, Pontian. A good time to test out its wind strength. 

The look of portable fan lanyard on my neck while driving to send accident patient to Pusat Kesihatan UTM on noon 21 April 2025. 

The look of portable fan on my chest during Town Hall FKE 2025 last 25 April 2025.

The setup of my late lunch last 25 April 2025 in HSI cafeteria. Where the portable fan turn on wind speed level 40 to help cool my heated body down.

I have to drag the spaghetti into the mushroom sauce instead of the other way around.

Until then, have fun in using good portable fan for beraya and daily basis. 

Baking waffle in oven

This is taken on the morning of 25 April 2025. Which I spread strawberry jam on the baked waffle.

The chopped one to smaller pieces for others to taste.

At this stage, my colleague asking me if the used plastic melt inside the hot oven. I simply replied to him "you know the silicone on the breast? That it". Such statement makes him quiet without any follow-up questions. 

The actual recipe using 1 kg waffle premix flour, 1 liter water, 5 eggs, 100 ml cooking oil. I revised it to use only 1 egg. Then follow by dividing the rest of ingredients by 5. I also substitute cooking oil to butter. As I only have butter in the fridge. Which I have to melt the butter using microwave for 2 minutes. 

It does taste nice when it is cold and without any strawberry jam. Since the strawberry jam finished after I spread on the chopped parts to give others.

Until then, have fun in baking waffle in your oven.

The ordered over the counter medicines

This is taken on the noon of 22 April 2025. Where I just ordered over the counter medicine for my bloated stomach and aching body pain. Too tired to queue in Pusat Kesihatan UTM. 

The look of the selected medicine: paracetamol 500 mg, eco in lemon flavor and hot balm for my aching body.

The counter.

By 4.00 pm, my smart watch give message that I am in bad mood. 

This is because I am annoyed with my body pain. As it hinders my movements and make me sluggish to go to toilet to pee. Despite I have eaten paracetamol 500 mg by 3 pm.

Really worth money investment to this smart watch. 

Until then, have fun in self monitoring your body and health condition. 

My new face serum

This is taken on the evening of 3 April 2025. Where I made new face serum formulation. As my last batch of 2nd formulation of face oil has been taken by my colleague. To be used to sooth his dry flaky skin.

For this formulation, I am using argan oil, sea buckthorn oil, vitamin A and sandalwood essential oil. This formulation almost emptied my argan oil stock. Which I end up restock double this time.

As for the 2nd batch face oil, it is the best on my aging skin so far. Also helps to curb the itchiness on my left elbow. Where it usually restricted from flaring the itchiness after I apply fungal cream. I refrain from using fungal cream since it is harmful when digested. Which I have to make sure to wash my hands each time after application. From unwanted side effects. 

Will update on this formulation later.

Cara kemas kini aplikasi Google Meet dalam Play Store

Ini diambil pada tengah hari 15 April 2025. Tempat saya membuat ilustrasi langkah demi langkah tentang cara mengemas kini aplikasi Google Meet di Play Store untuk ibu saya yang berumur 60+ tahun.

Syukur dia dapat mengikut arahan yang diberikan. Kemudian saya segera mengujinya dengan membuat panggilan video melalui Google Meet. Di mana ia direkodkan dalam gambar seperti yang ditunjukkan di bawah👇. Ini berlaku apabila Mak saya mempunyai seorang anak perempuan yang lulus ijazah Kejuruteraan Komputer dan juga jenis orang QA/QC 🫣. Semuanya diuji dan didokumenkan dengan baik. Di mana boleh dikemukakan sebagai bukti kepada mahkamah apabila perlu untuk digunakan untuk tuntutan kelak.

Sehingga itu, semoga dipermudahkan urusan dalam membuat langkah beserta ilustrasi untuk warga tua.

2nd batch of improvised face oil

This is taken on the morning of 23 March 2025. Where I make second batch of face oil. Where I used coconut oil instead of camellia oil. 

The reason is the first batch that used camellia oil too thick (high viscosity) and greasy for my usage. That is why I make this second batch. 

Which I deliver 2 bottles of this second batch to customer last 26 March 2025. RM 15 for 1 bottle of 30 ml. By 27 March 2025, customer give positive feedback after using it. She loves the rosy scent of the second batch face oil. As she said, there is one time she was obsessed with rose scent. That makes her go out looking for body spray with rose scent. 

Glad to be able to have satisfied customer. Again, same instructions given to customer. To only use 2 drops of the face oil on face. Then add more only if needed. Since castor oil already rich and thick (high viscosity).

Until then, have fun in using good face oil for your skincare routine. 

Beraya time

This is taken on the evening of 12 April 2025. Where I managed to join my Aunt's family to beraya to her younger sister house.

Which I even able to lock this little one as he keeps on escaping from the photo shooting session.

I stayed in the lab after beraya session on the noon to my friend house. Managed to tidy up vecad lab pantry while waiting for the gathering time.

Selfie in the car for the beraya session in the noon. As I did forget to take pictures with the host of the noon session.

Until then, remember to take pictures of your beraya session for safe keeping.

Magnesium taurate helps me to get longer sleep duration

This is taken on the morning of 4 April 2025. Where I managed to get total of 5 hours 36 minutes. Details as follows:

• Deep sleep 1 hour 55 minutes.
• Light sleep 1 hour 6 minutes.
• REM sleep 35 minutes.

The look of consumed magnesium taurate. 

Seems like my perimenopause body can only get more than 5 hours sleep after consuming magnesium taurate. Despite from the magnesium list, magnesium glycinate is the one that helps to get better sleep. As I have been consuming magnesium glycinate before sleep and early in the morning of the days I have less than 2 hours sleep. Well, have to document this outcome. Since my body react differently from the typical research analyst and experiments. 

Until then, have a good sleep more than 5 hours duration. 

Baked potatoes as appetizer before lunch

This is taken on the noon of 11 April 2025. Where I get to test to make baked potatoes. 

The look of potatoes before it being baked in oven.

The look of used yogurt. As I was eating it with mulberry fruits as my snacks. 

I cook in oven for 30 minutes at temperature 150°C. However it is highly suggested to boil or steam the potatoes before baked in oven. In order to get fluffier and softer potatoes. 

If using pressure cooker, can choose to boil or steam using meat function. Based the used 6 liter Elba pressure cooker, choose timer 0.5. Just make sure to poke holes all over the washed clean potatoes with fork. So that it can absorb the sauce used during boil or steam process. 

Until then, have fun in making baked potatoes in oven.

The look of mixed ingredients of beef with BBQ sauce, after step 5.

Tidying up the balance of the cooked food. No longer giving it for free for those imbecile who is too handicap to clean and wash after finished eating the given food.

So far my boss and me do add more rice and bbeef after 1 round. Means it is acceptable for consumption. Plus no more meat stucked in between my aging teeth. Which is the current issue I faced when eat meat that not self cooked. 

This recipe is quite watery. If you prefer less soupy version, can reduce the water quantity. Then omit salt entirely. As I am using salted butter and the BBQ sauce already have salt in it.

Until then, have fun in cooking good lunch food for consumption.

Activities on last day of Ramadhan 1446/1447

This is among raya advertisement that I still remember

This entry is made in the morning of 5 April 2025. Where I suddenly remembered to look for this advertisement. What I can recall it has a mother with 6 boys and a cow. Seems like I am off 1 more boy.

Think this suits my mother very well. As she also have 7 boys. 

From this advertisement, can see all 7 of them forget to assign 1 person to handle arrangement to get meat, liver for the raya dishes.

And I like their creativity in getting a whole cow. That have meat and liver in it. But the issue I see is who is going to slaughter the cow😂.

As for us last time, my late father is a slaughterer. But sadly, the knowledge is not transferred to the children. However, I do know basic to sharpen machete, cleaver, knife. This is based from observation by staying on his side while he sharpen his slaughtering knife. And I unable to recall all his slaughtering knives was gifted to whom after his passing. As that time I was already occupied with my coming SPM exam.

Well, nowadays I have my own machete, cleaver, durian cleaver that I self buy. And such tools does helps me well to self cut my harvested kelapa pandan (coconut) fruits and the bought durian fruits.

Until then, have fun enjoying good raya advertisement.
