This is just recollection of the moments I face in life, you may think you know me when you are reading this, but this blog is only a fragment of the many personalities that can manifest in me

Suddenly too much

Just a Dream
It does not help my mood either. It also does not help that I plan to go all week without rice during lunch. No rice at lunch and already I feel pressured. No one is really forcing me, its just that I would like to see things on the "no rice side". One bonus of it, is my hand does not get too dirty while eating lunch now.

Fw: Annoyed
I am insanely annoyed and the same time happy with the outcome of my masters and job applications. However my parent's have the ability to congratulate me and at the same time annoy me with questions that requires me to do some research before I can answer it.
For example, they keep pestering me pursuing my PhD. Sorry I had 4 years of brain damage from doing it. Its going to be a long time before I actually think about doing it. When they talk about work, it gets even more insane. Why does Petrosains pays so little, its an oil gas company (its not an oil gas company, its a science centre about oil and gas), why don't you get paid double on Sunday's ? (Its not a salary, its an honorium for doing volunteer work). Why don't you ask for a bigger pay? (For a job that only requires a degree and that I am considered as fresh graduate, the pay that was offered to me is considered the standard).
They choose to not listen to this. Sometimes they ask me on things I have no experience on such as, other jobs and position in Petrosains or they salary ladder (wtf, I don't know, can you wait till at least I actually work in one).
Aaah!! Avoidance is something I must do till the end of this month. No fucking way I am going to any fucking family outing. I would rather be working thanks.

Good Reasons
But the real thing that makes me sad, is the end of the ETS six car coach service to Kajang or at least I think it has ended. So far, since last week, I have never been able to catch one. Its soo sad, since its the most comfortable coach ever, and I think myself and few hundreds passengers were spoilt with what Komuter could be, instead of the current reality.
sigh.. might as well be prepared to be mushed for 30 minutes everyday till the new 6 car coach arrives, or at least wake up earlier to catch the KTM from Singapore to stop at Kajang.

Of lotion and balms
I have a couple bottle of lotions and some tube of lil balms just laying around in my room. I just never seem to remember when to use it.
All of these bottles are just waiting to be thrown away. When I do remember, I get all greased up as f I am about to jump into a frying pan. Then afterwards I regret it when I sweat and all of the lotion comes out after it.
It happens so frequently that I stop using it. Then the cycle repeat itself again.

Plans
hI got so many plans for money that I haven't even received. Its good to have a plan, but if you have to keep thinking about you will end up with nothing. At least that is what would happen with me behind the thinking.
Sometime you just got to take that leap of faith and hope for the best.

A skinfull
I try to give out advice, but usually its a hit and miss. Skin is so hard to predict. What works for me will not work for you, what is claimed to be great, can just be lack luster on mine. One must not forget, that one must be extra diligent when dealing with problematic skin.
For those who says just splashing water on their face is the only thing they do, Dr Leslie Baumann says you probably have resistant skin that is perfect and seem to be able to resist any harm to it. Damn you...
It just hits my button when some holier than thou claims that wuduk is the best way to treat problematic skin. I am sorry, but god does not want a lazy ass bum, you have to actually do something to treat it and he might grant you your prayers. Enough of my ramblings, these are what the 3 problems that people have that I can related to
Problems:
Person A is looking for a sunblock that does not add to the oiliness or extra acne, but must be able to protect him from both UVA and UVB rays.
Person B is looking for something to treat her pigmentation. Typical for someone after menopause or reaching 50.
Person C is now looking for a different cleanser that does not contain triclosan since FDA rulling on the status of triclosan only will be shown winter of 2012.
All of this problems obsess me, because I do have all of the problems in the above. The right and gentle sunblock that does not sting nor gives me acne, a way to treat pigmentation on the side of my face and maybe a cleanser, although I still like my triclosan cleanser very much.
Solutions:
These are my solutions based on what I read and understand although I only choose few references to support my claims and everyone who does research knows that this is not enough.
For Person A, I would recommend him Neutrogena Dry Touch Sunblock because it claims to not add excess oil to a person with oily skin, Banana Boat Ultra FACES because it was claim to be made for the facial area and that it also does add more oil to the skin and Ocean Potion Clear Zinc Oxide, because physical sunblock such as Zinc Oxide is better for acne prone skin because it does not irritate it.
For Person B, I would recommend BHA along with topical retinoid and a pigmentation cream. My choice would be Paula's Choice 1% BHA lotion, Retin-A 0.05% and a hydroquinone cream. If hydroquinone is not your thing then try Dermatoligica Extreme C pigmentation cream or Olay White Radiance Spot Corrector, White Essence or Serum.
For Person C, since she already uses Paula's Choice Clear cleanser, she should perhaps switch to Skin Balancing Cleanser, since its also light and foamy but without the triclosan that she is worried about.
Sigh, its just my prescription to them, but I want to take my advice before I give them this. The knowledge on skin care is a diverse as the research I did on toxoplasmosis. It gives me a headache and keeps me up all night. Not good at all for the skin. Oh well, I can only give them my point of view for the to considered it.

I seem to always have something to do. what happened as I will fall asleep during work or I would yawn a lot. I have to learn to stop all activity by 10pm or it will drag on to midnight.

Free
If you don't know what this is, its probably because you never rode a bike or motorcycle. This is a hose we use to fill up our tires or to power the power "drill"? used to open up the nuts and bolts of the tires or bicycles.
These are actually a service given to the public by most workshop that I been with, that anyone can freely use this pump to fill up the air in their tires. I guess back then, petrol stations are to far to go to and hand pumps are such a drag, so this is the best thing to have.
Nothing like a hard, freshly pumped tires, that allows you to go faster on your bike. Just one of those small wonderful things in life that we take for granted

Mood?
Perhaps I should be more diligent in updating my blog via mobile. Well.. to be fair, I don't have regular mobile Internet connection yet. I still don't have room in my budget for that. If my Blackberry were still alive, I could just get those RM25 packages and update at whim.
Even if its just a few sentences. Might as well make a twitter account ya!!. However, unless I wrote down all of the interesting things in life that happen, in a interesting readable way, with pictures included, perhaps it would be a better read.
This is a still a personal blog, filled with personal rants that I keep open. Could it be the doom of my career? Then I shall write it with a code maybe to prevent any future problems.
