Ruby for Kids
I am taking my leisurely time to learn Ruby programming for Kids or rather for dummies like me. You see, I am a very confused programmer and my codes will surely have bugs that need debugging with help. I chose the simplest and basic programming language that's obscure in uni, and that's FORTRAN. My knowledge of arrays, loops, do...while etc are next to nothing. Hence, I got myself a book to hopefully relearn and unlearn what I know and start from scratch again. After all, a man learned how to code using a 3D printer to print out prosthetics for the disabled. When he was asked which uni he graduated from, he replied to the University of Google.

Quayside Condo Pictures
Above are awesome pictures of the lifestyle condominium at Quayside in Tanjung Tokong. The swimming pool was the best I had swum. Plenty of greenery lined the edge of the pool giving one a feel of being in an exotic resort. The maintenance bill is a whopping $1,600 per month. There's also a children's playground and wading pool designed like a mini beach with sundeck chairs surrounding the area. The library is also opened long hours and there are many novels to read and exercise the mind. The facilities at Quayside is certainly top-class and unrivaled in Penang. My aunt certainly has good taste and choose the unit with the best view and almost private lift. There are only 5 units with access to 4 lifts for each floor. We had stayed here for 2 months+ already for mum to recuperate fast and able to be independent again. She is 81 this year.

Make $90 profit today
I am pleased that I managed to sell my free Condotti cabin luggage bag from Ambank for a premium at $90 instead of a mere $60, due to a last-minute message from Mudah.com.my. I sold it to Nurul, who is a student, just finished her STPM and waiting to be a prisons officer through training. We met up at Tesco food court at Tanjung Tokong which is less than 5 minutes drive from Quayside Condo. The Condotti luggage bag is an extra bag that I received it free from Ambank since I subscribed to monthly insurance payment of $300 per month per policy. I have 2 similar policies here. Tomorrow, the hired maid is leaving and it is a big relief since so many things were destroyed due to her itchy fingers. As she does not take care of people's property, we better let her go earlier than usual. Mum is 90% recovered.

Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish
I hired a maid on 15th June 2019 from Medan, Indonesia. On the first day, she asked if my mother has an extra green jade bangle for her!!! The reason I hired her was to take care of mum who had a fall and suffered compressed disc of the spine, etc. She also had diarrhea and it comes out almost non stop. Youngest sis, wanted to send mum to a nursing home since she sent granny and dad to nursing homes and refuse to let them come back. It was not karma as I intervened and said mum is to recuperate in Quayside Condo and immediately hired a maid from a 'joker factory' for her. The maid was Yati, I call her yeti, the beast. She had the audacity to break the glass door with so many lines of cracks to show her dissatisfaction when mum asked that youngest one help distribute my late father's estate to me and youngest sis, bypassing the second sis, since she did not contribute a cent for 5 years while doing her Ph.D. which took from 3 years to 5 years.
Yeti even used mum's handphone to download 25-30 apps of Dangdut music with baby laughing so loudly being played. I had the impression, yeti was using her own handphone since she secretly found her handphone in the drawer that I kept away from her. Well, her itchy hands just love to open and discover new things and perhaps look for loose cash here and there!
Mum's bone's density has more or less recovered at age 80 from osteoporosis to osteopenia. This means that the Forteo injection that costs RM 1,600 a month using dad's pension was helping her bone density. In the first 3 days, she even wanted to borrow RM 500 from mum, then me and then sis. It was all youngest sis' fault; spoiling her to bits by giving her 3 nightgowns, and more than 10 pieces of her branded t-shirts that she could no longer wear for the last 10 years. Yeti became bold and brazen, disobeyed orders and finished up my Ensure milk even though she has her own cheaper milk that we gave to her! I only drank 3 cups and the RM 84 Ensure milk tin was finished.
She also ate out 'bak kua' without permission. She will cut them into pieces and fry with rice for her dinner and other meals. There were 12 pieces of 'bak kua', where I had 4, mum 1, my spouse 1 and there rest, she just 'hau kor' away. Well for being disobedient, too brazen and bold, I decided to shorten her stay from 3 months to 2 months and that very day, she slammed the door showing her anger. The agent seems to inform her what's happening or rather the agent's other maid seems to inform yeti of her early dismissal. Well, good riddance to bad rubbish this 15th August 2019, her last day. Also mum's RM 10 is missing and we cannot let yeti stay at home in Island Park since mum's cash is kept all over the house including her costly jewelry.

Looking for Opportunities
It is 2:15am here and I am now blogging for opportunities while updating this blog. I am a night owl, as they say, but sometimes, I feel very tired at these early hours of dawn. Well, in the US, it is noontime. This is the time where they are actively working or having lunch for the employees. My spouse is fast asleep, but being the workaholic that I am, I am writing this blog to update it. I don't like to neglect any blogs that I maintain if I have the time. As you might know by now, blogging takes effort and don't be an ordinary blogger.
