Week 4: I went Viral (the whole country)

Well this week have been a rollercoaster. I manage to offend an influencer which cause his die hard fans to go all on a killing spree on me. I have become viral for this week. It was great to see my friends came to defend me. But it was intersting to see how idiotic everyone is and they can't take a simple comment 

Jan 18 (Vacation)

• Last day of vacation today. We all pack our bags and its time to go

• Had lunch at Kenny Hills since the girls wanted some pasta 

• Came home every unpack their stuff. Say hi to the cats and then rest for a while

• Mom came over today at 5pm and the first the she said what that I am fat

• Helped my friend with some money problems. So the total so far is around is around 84k... Will I ever get the money back. I don't know. But I really do feel sorry forher and I do believe that she is going to go far one day. 

Jan 20 (unmemorable) 

• Well there is this famous influencer who has just open a restaurant. But after 2 weeks the booking system is not working. So I decided to ask some questions reguarding his booking system. Probably the wording was to his liking he did reply the question but he did reply to my threads. Which cause his supporters to bombard me with hate speech and text. Good thing I private everything before this happens and deleted all necessary information. 

•  The great news is that my friends were all supportive of me. They are asking me how I feel and honestly I feel nothing because I don't know them and they don't know me. So I won't waste my time handling trolls. Which also makes me want to take a week break of my socials until this dies down. 

•  Today cook some pesto for the girls. Basil is really hard to come by nowadays. I only got 3 but I made it work 

•  Another thing that happent oday was wife accidently ate her whole box of medicine. She ate her morning, afternoon and evening medicines all in one go which cause her to overdose and in a state of mental unclarity. Apprently she went to the office and had a meeting but didn't remember anything about it. After lunch she ask me to pick her up

•  I had some ayam gepuk for lunch which was a mistake which I know I am going to pay for it the next day. Wife wanted a cheeseburger from Nak Nak. 

•  Pick up maid and send her back in the evening. Took a short nap and came back home and went to sleep. What a day   

Jan 21

• Still reeling from the aftermath of being viral. I have wonderful friends since they are all around asking how I am. Very lucky

• Today H1 boyfriend came over. They are planning to make some macaroons so I had to bring them to go get the supplies. I didn't know that macaroons will take hours to bake. They had to do 3 batches since the first batch got burnt and the 2nd batch got stepped on by creamy and the last batch was too late that the boyfriend had to go home. 

• Wife decided to take the day off today since she was embrassed to go to work because of yesterday thing. I said to her that people will forget 

• Made some Ayam kunyit and tomato egg. I think ayam kunyit using bone in chicken taste better than chicken breast 

• Slept early today since not in the mood to do anything

Jan 22

• Today I decided to cook some olio for the girls while I ate leftovers 

• Wife has to go to work today and at work everyone was asking her how am I doing and she was quite blur at the situation. Her colleague had to explain to her what happened and then she text me “did you know you’re on the news” I’m like “yeap”

• Came back in the evening and made some fried egg with bread for her

• We talked for hours about everything. We didn't want to leave but because my mom was with us. Mom wanted to leave so everyone had to follow. Overall it was an amazing day and I will host them again 

• My new friend is having problems wih his boyfriend. His boyfriend is a real piece of work. A real narcassist. Hope she get to settle his issue. 

Jan 24

• I have 3 weddings to attend today but before that at 9am we tried our luck on BTS tickets by phone. My best friend ask his korean friend to give them a call. We got no luck in securing the tickets

• Today I had 3 weddings to go to. First was my mom's friend. Second was my wife's friend and third was my wife's cousin. We manage to go to all three. All serve the same kind of food. Nasi minyak, ayam rempah/gulai and daging kicap with sayur. The desserts are the star since most places have different type of desserts 

• Came home and took a short nap and continue some classes

• Saw a movie The Rip (5/5) with wife and head to bed. No dinner for me 

This week is back to normal routine. Wife and H1 has classes. I need to start working more this week since Ramadan is coming soon.

Jan 13

• Woke up this morning and it turns that my sleep study was a failure. One cable was loose. That means I have to do it again tonight

• Slept at 10 again and hook myself again to the sleep machine 

Jan 14 (Vacation) 

• Woke up this morning and I pass the sleep study. Today is also the day we are going on vacation

• We started packing late and after I had a nap first. But before we headed to our hotel we went to the mall to grab some lunch and supplies

• Arrived at the hotel close to 5pm. This hotel is just 4 months old and most of the facilities are still new. There are a lot of facilities here like a pool, darts, 2 playgrounds, trampoline gym, ball pit, hammock station and obeservatory

• After that we decided to have dinner to Genting Highland resort since is at the top of the mountain. There is a link that connects the hotel to the resort but that was a mistake. It took us more than 30 minutes to get there and everyone is so tired after arriving. In the mall is was also a bit confusing. We finally found Thai food ate and then we went home by grab

• Arrive home close to 10. Took a shower and get ready to go to sleep. Tomorrow will be another day of adventure 

Jan 15 (Vacation) (unmemorable)

• Did classes very quietly this morning. H2 wants to sleep infront in the living room because she doesn't want to share a bed with H1

• Around 10 we go ready to go to Genting Skyworld. It is a theme park but it is all Dreamworks based shows excluding Shrek. The shows that were displayed are Planet of the Apes, Independence Day, Epic, Robots and Ice Age.

• We went on a lot of different rides. The memorable ones were Independence day where the lift us up on the big screen and its a giant 6D immersive experince. Epic boat ride where its on rail and we drop and got wet in the end. Ice Age Thin Ice caps which was a fun ride and lastly the Planet of the Apes ride. Ride that involve moving while sitting down and prespective changing is always a fun thing to watch. 

• We left the theme park around 4pm after the girls got themselves a souvenir. We ate some rice at Madam Kwan and went back to our apartment.

• Rest for a while and the girls decided to go swimmin on the heated pool. While they go swimming me and the wife played some pool and darts. We suck at both but on darts I got a bullseye twice. 

• After that the girls watch a movie in my room while I slept outside.

• In other news my best friend texted me and said that she is diagnosed with Lymphoma. I googled that and it is a type of cancer. It is curable but the treatment is going to cost a lot of money. I feel very sad for her. I wish I could help her but I have done all I can for my part and the rest is up to her. I will keep her in my prayers.

Jan 16 (Vacation) 

• Did classes until 8am and then wake up the family. Had breakfast with my wife on the balcony. Had some instant noodles on a cold morning hits differently

• Spend time packing but then wife remembered that she needs to finish her work so after we check out of the hotel we went down and hang out a coffee shop while she finish her work. The work took longer than expected so she finish her work at around 2pm

• The trip to Melaka was uneventful. We did had to past our house which is really funny to get there but this is the fastest way to get there anyway. Arrived at our hotel at around 530pm. The apartment was not as great as the first one we went but it was good enough. There are seperate rooms which means I can do my classes without being interrupted. 

• We got outselves ready to go to a riverside cruise. We got to see most of the historical town riding the boat. H1 saw a blue bird that we all didn't see and she wanted to go again. I told her... its okay. We believe you which seems to pissed her off even more.

• After the ride we went to eat at a very nice restaurant that serve authentic Melaka peranakan food. It was dellicous. We ate stingray, egg, fried mushroom and braised lamb shank. H2 had chicken chop for herself. I had the coconut shake which really hits the spot. 

• Then we went on a tour to the famous Jonker Street in the middle of town. This as H1 says has a lot of tourist traps. So we took some pictures and then we just when back to our apartment to rest for tomorrow's day

Jan 17 (Vacation)

• Today we are going to the zoo that is located an hour away from our apartment. We arrived there around 1030am.

• There were 4 shows that we saw. The first show was the elephant show. I touched an elephant and its skin is very wrinkly and hairy. The next show was the elephant swimming show. As big as elephants are. It is very suprising that they can float and swim very well. After that we went to a multi animal show where they show like 15 different animals with multiple tricks. H2 went to the stage after the show ended to take some pictures. Last show is the bird show where they show birds from different parts of the world. 

• We also did went to Safari. Saw some animals like lions, tigers and cheetas. But unfortunately it was close to the afternoon and most of the animal are just chillling out under the shade. After that we went and feed the Bilutong. That animal smells so nice and they say their pee smells like popcorn. We ended the day by going to the reptile farm and saw a lot of big corcodiles. 

• Had late lunch at 4pm of McDonalds at the restaurant itself and went home and everyone took a nap except me

• After the kids woke up, we played some Mahjong. We did not understand the but it took a while and it was fun.

With that is back to reality for this week. The only thing I am looking forward to is mom is coming to visit and maybe something else depending if I have some free time.

• Today we made our way to Gyeongbokgung Palace. We had to take 2 buses and the trip took around 40 minutes. I notice that the buses here tend to be fast. You need to go right away if not they get annoyed

• Once we arrived at the palace we saw the changing of the guard. It was very impressive. We sat near the big drum and when they hit it. It vibrated everywhere

• We went to get Hanbok which is a traditional Korean attire. The girls were excited to get their clothes. I was just okay. The clothes were okay and very comfortable but they don't have any pockets so I can't hold my phone and the bluetooth wheelchair remote

• Since the wife hanbok was big so she can't drive her wheelchair so I control it using bluetooth control. That place is not suitable for a wheelchair so wife walked most of the way.
