Medicine for my cough

On the afternoon of 8 May 2025, I procured medications for a cough that began on Wednesday. The consultation with the pharmacist lasted under 30 minutes, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention.

By 9 May 2025, I experienced significant fatigue due to the persistent cough coinciding with the onset of menstruation. Fortunately, by midday on 10 May 2025, I had recovered sufficiently to resume driving and fulfill my professional responsibilities. The coughing has subsided, and the phlegm has been expelled. I now enjoy mental clarity and restful sleep at night, despite occasional awakenings.

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 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 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.

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.

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.
