I went to buy a cake recently from franchise in the UK that is famous for selling eggless cake. They are quite decent, although a bit pricey, but they are widely available with outlets almost everywhere. We called first before going to an outlet to confirm that the cake that we wanted was there, and…
The book is by Stephen King and is in fact the second in its series. The first one was Mr. Mercedes and it was turned into a movie a few years ago. I quite liked the first one so I read the second one. After finishing it, I was a bit disappointed that although initially…
I am getting old and older and I am now becoming more comfortable with the concept to just get the things done. I used to spend hours customising my phone or PC background, but nowadays I just use the default ones. While doing my work recently, I must say I ‘submit’ a very shitty work…
It’s been snowing quite a bit here. Kids being kids, there is always the joke about not eating yellow snow. I used to be perplexed by it and didn’t understand the joke but once I saw a dog relieved itself near a building, it stuck to my mind ever since. Meanwhile when I first started…
We were watching a documentary of the missing Malaysian flight MH370 recently. It was quite interesting although a bit too dramatised for me. When we wanted to watch it, my wife and I said to our children that this happened years ago, back when the oldest of them was still in the womb. I also…

My daughter cried just now and when I asked why, she said she was sad because of something that was said to her. I knew it was a big thing as she was quiet for a while and sat there contemplating before bursting into tears. And this happened when I was tucking her into bed….
Why do they call it Black Friday? I asked chatGPT and its unconvincing answer was that people used to do so much shopping that the police or enforcement said that it was a black day, i.e. it is a bad day to work. The term was then supposedly hijacked by capitalism and applied commercially. Yeah,…
Of course it is, don’t answer that. It is a rhetorical question after all, one that sometimes crept around the back of my mind when some anti-green post lays down their fact. For all my pompousness of being analytical, I have stopped to bother checking the facts laid out by people who claim that it…
I’ve been having toothache since a few weeks now, and today I finally decided to call and make an appointment. At the appointment, the dentist checked and said I have the option of doing a filling or pulling my bad tooth off. I chose the latter. There’s a few reasons but one of them is…
