I have named my guest Koky. He is also a regular visitor to my neighbor downstairs so we agreed that he will stay with her during my very frequent sojourns out of the apartment. I think he is a stray after all - he is VERY food motivated. But also very intelligent. I taught him how to sit 😆

His cold seems to be going away and his minor injuries from a recent fight healing. I think a safe, warm bed during these rainy days helped.

@dreadfulsorry and @rozeboosje Just a little update. Thanks for your tips before, he's doing well, though he gets offended when I don't invite him to the toilet with me. 😆

Just realized it is ! I am sheltering this little until he gets over his cold. He is not neutered so alas I may send him for the ✂️
He likes being brushed by a toothbrush.
And he responds to the name Cookie Cutter so there's that.

So, need your advice people! This beautiful boy has been randomly visiting me a few times a month. He is not neutered but not feral. I see that he may have gotten into a fight recently and am wondering if I should bring him to a vet or at least get him neutered. But I feel like he loves his freedom. (He usually leaves after having his meal.) What do I do?

While other writers published their 2022 reflections a week ago, of course, I write mine on 31 Dec.

Anyway, this is the year where I get a breather, and discover great things that led to a better mental and physical place for me. All while the world seems to be burning around me.

Things that made 2022 great for me:

  1. My new apartment - it's been my soul sanctuary
  2. - helped me build my & task management system. Before, I was app hopping, searching for THE ONE. has been The One for me!
  3. - Before, was the only I used regularly but reluctantly. Then I found Mastodon & it actually made me happy to talk to people.

@alex_galt oh yes, it's lovely in the early morning. I usually go there, sip my coffee and read a book while watching the sunrise. Wait till I show you my SECOND balcony. Yup, I live in a wonderful place with two balconies!

Went to a and asked for the diaries of Anais Nin, and the bookseller says, sadly we don't have that title, but I have plenty of erotica to recommend you.

MMmmkay?

PS: Totally understand how that can come about, but I was asking for her diaries 😆

Another day, another instagrammable in

Don't get the trend to shelve books in sky high shelves tho. Don't you want them bought and read, or do you have a drone to fetch the books for us 😅

The Menu is utter madness.
I love it.

So I just learnt that there’s (yet another) new PJ mall at Taman Megah where Ming Tien food court was formerly located.

Meanwhile SS15 has lost its former vibrant atmosphere since they closed Asia Cafe food court to make way for some luxury apartment. That area feels so dead in comparison now

So what’s next? SS2 food court’s location must be so tempting to developers.

I think I have discovered a way to incorporate more good old fashioned pen and paper into my routine. I will continue my Daily Notes journal in , but reserve weekly or long reflections to paper and pen. Currently doing my year end reflections 😁

@liztai@hachyderm.io avatar

Every time I sign up for a service, here comes the marketing emails. Are these "newsletters" even working anymore? It's gotten to a point where I just created a "burner" email account just to safely "delete all" my emails periodically.

@rakyat EDMs were my least favorite thing to write cos I always felt so guilty writing them lol.

Also, I don't really know how to make them really effective!

@rakyat lol so my suspicion that everyone in marketing knows shit but pretends to know shit is right lol
