Looking Back at My 2021

It's the time of the year to look back at 2021. Been thinking about it for a few days now and I have no memory of what had happened this year except for the past few weeks where there was a flood in where I live. Today I remembered that I have almost everything on Google Calendar and sometimes I do update on Facebook. So I am able to note down a list of 2021 events with the help of technologies. It's generally a quiet and boring year for myself, and lucky not to be hit by the virus (touch wood!), job loss, salary cut, and the flood. Which I am thankful about it. There's no major development on anything in my life this year, supposedly my first property, yet it was delivered with 100 defects unsolved after 3 months now and counting. In fact, 2021 sucks.

Flash Flood Aftermath in Bukit Rimau - 18 Dec 2021

18 December 2021 - Flash floods in Klang and Shah Alam The last social media post I read before sleep was a friend sharing that it's 22-hours of non-stop downpour already. Wake up in the morning to find out that we may be blocked from getting out of our apartment due to the flash floods. Cancelled the dentist appointment in the afternoon, knowing that roads around the area would be bad. Then realize that it's grocery day, so our fridge is quite empty. Have to get out for lunch takeaway, guessing that food delivery is most likely not available, and didn't want to endanger delivery rider for a pack of lunch. Met the security guard downstairs and asked about the road condition outside the gate but didn't get any good info. No one seems to know what to do, what can we do. If the road is totally flooded, there will be no way for me to get any food for the day.  As a Malaysian, I am not equipped with sufficient knowledge in case of emergency. We are only be educated about fir

Unbox and Assemble - DXRacer AIR Mesh Gaming Chair D7200

Started my work-from-home life on 1 April 2021 without a home office.  Tried the sofa, the bed, the sofa bed, high table-top by the kitchen both on the high chair and standing on my feet, and of course the dining table, but still don't find a spot at home that I can work productively. So I started to transform one half of my store room into a home office, started by deploying my long-forgotten budget study table and borrowed a low-back office chair from my sister for the setup. Things work almost perfectly until I broke the chair arm while adjusting my sitting position after 6 months, and broke the back of the chair in the middle of back stretching, almost fell on the floor with back of my head landed first few weeks after the first incident. No other choice, I started to look for a new chair for my home office. La-z-boy has always been my dream chair but it just won't work as working equipment, so looked into the range of gaming chair and found that gaming chairs are made of e

There are good advertisement and bad advertisement

Choice of word matters in advertisement. There are many principles to follow as guideline when you are writing a message, especially for advertising purposes like maximum 7 words for billboard and more, that made copywriting a profession. As a mass communication graduate, I have the habit of analysing marketing messages around myself and sometimes just can't help catching bad examples. One good bad examples is the new Samsung phone ads that appear everywhere, that read "Open Your iPhone". Below are more bad examples I've seen in the past, and I will try to collect more in the future to store under this post for reference purposes. What did you read at first glance? I read 'for FREE (not really)' What did you read? I read 'Hell Summer Sales'
