The headline blasted "50% Cashback!!!" in bold fonts. T&C however revealed "Minimum spend RM20" and "Cashback capped at RM5". Yeah, misleading as always.

So much to do, so little free time.

Those agave plants have got to go. I need a reciprocating saw.

Use a regular unpowered pruning saw. It's cheap, quiet, good exercise, requires minimal storage space, and you won't take an arm off by accident. A Sawzall is overkill for anyone not doing demo work all day every day.

Keep your wrist straight. Don't overdo it on the first day. Your wrists will get stronger. There are Japanese guys in their 90s still using pruning saws.

This is the only city in Sarawak with a bus terminal that imposes additional "boarding fee" for bus passengers. It doesn't matter if you bought your bus ticket online or at the counter, you still won't be allowed to board the bus without paying the extra fee. Another embarrassment for the so-called "resort city".

"I'm gonna have to wake up earlier than usual on Wednesday to get to Łódź on time."

There was something I forgot because I was busy...

Random Malay netizen: You dumb. You fall into US trap. You give (invests) money to US, you slave to US.
Me: Are you trying to get me to invest into some unregistered securities or "Sukuk" or something?

There are saws in the garage but that's what I'd most likely cut myself with. I think there is a pruning saw out there. I like power tools and wanted a smaller reciprocating saw, like this. [www.amazon.com] https://www.amazon.com/Cordless-Reciprocati...d=ANK2JAILU7DZA

Recently, I used my mini chainsaw to remove big branches from an old tree in the side yard and was going to use it on the agave but thank goodness I didn't. I was reading agave juice is caustic and can cause rashes and blisters and the chainsaw would blow bits of that shit all over the place. Everything I read said to use a reciprocating saw instead. My friend said to dig it up like he did with his.

I killed a couple plants off in the past by spraying them with weed killer but the 20 foot death blooms sprouted and attracted bees and I had to wait months for it to dry out before I could cut the dead stalks. I might go that route again, dunno. They started growing like crazy from all the rain we've had the past few winters.

I think I'm doing my best, but I have no sense of accomplishment whatsoever.

Hard work does not equal big reward.

Timothy Huang: "Before you go on leave next week, please give me your (company-issued) fuel card."
Me: "Why?"
Timothy Huang: "It's not like you're going to use it. Better put it to good use."
Me: "What happened to yours?"
Timothy Huang: "I still have it."
Me: "Is it defective?"
Timothy Huang: "No. (pauses) Why?"

Timothy Huang's existence is a sin.

"Was a trip"

I'm very depressed because of all the unfortunate things that happen.

My favorite webtoon Winter Moon ended. It had a good run.

What did Miri do to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of it achieving certified "City" status? An extravagant national-level event that'll attract inflow of thousands of foreign tourists? Nope. Nothing. Aside from the lame "food fair". Nothing interesting. A big embarrassment for Sarawak's "resort city".

Tired of everything and feeling bad...

Malay netizens expressed disgust at the toothpaste-like substance in the processing of imitation crab meat. As such, they are calling for a boycott, claiming the meat is "unsafe" and my contain "questionable" ingredients. I find this claim as over-exaggerated and misguided. Fish paste is also used in the processing of fish balls and fish cakes. Furthermore, these neanderthals also consume sausages and nuggets that are processed in a similar manner.

Curse that Shariff. For passing me the flu bug.
