What one can do with idle hands...

Tue 290512

Yup, what can one do with one's idle hands?
And yup, one would be pretty surprised...because I was!!

As an example, this was what happened to my idle hands....
They did these...

Yup, it has been found that our car key cum alarm remote control, has an inherent problem. The alarm has been accidentally triggered off & on! The car has also been locked & unlocked without any intentions whatsoever!
And yup, that's a real nuisance, right? Kinda embarassing, too!

So, when this was voiced in the Saga car forum, it triggered the need to overcome this built-in nuisance in the simplest way possible...

Well, above pics tell of 2 attempts. The first mod was using the plastic packing of an old USB flash drive.

And the final pic shows a much simpler & just as effective mod...using a cut & punched 2.5mm thick piece of Insuflex (aircon) material. This was much easier to make considering that the material is soft and comes ready with a self-adhesive side...just stick it on!!

Looks not too bad, right?

Sincerely hoping now for no more of those so-called "accidental" mis-presses?

What can your idle hands do...?

A teeny-weeny update....

Tue May 22, 2012

Yup, a teeny-weeny post just so that me would not be thought of as "gone"(?)...hehe....

Frankly, Life has been mostly peaceful and calm...which is good, right?

We have all gone through Life As Is and it's been a hilly, winding and full of ups & downs. Nothing to complain about now that we look back.
I remember clearly one so-called "Tips on how to live Life happily..." which advised one that "if we were to throw our problems on a pile together with problems of other ppl, we would be very happy to take back our very own problems!!!"
How true that is...

Now onto nicer things...

1. Lot 10 celebrated Mother's Day on 13th May this year on a small simple but meaningful scale. Our daughter with her daughter came to share the day with us. Lunch was @KFC in Tesco while dinner was postponed so that these two ole folks could have their moment.
And we did....the next evening @Noodle Station in Tesco! Our "mother" had her wish granted!!

2. Me bought a couple of accessories for our not-so-new ride...a replacement (spare...just in case after hearing of all the thefts of such parts) 3rd party car radio antenna for only RM13.90 @Pacific Hyperstore and a hard-rubber wheel stopper (RM8.90) for safety when me do "things" under the car!

3. We had a 3D2N stay in our fav niece's place in Tanjung Bungah from 15 - 17th May. As always, it was a warm & friendly place to be. Both always felt truly welcomed during each visit. We went kinda empty-handed but we returned home "FULL"!!
Thanks a meg, Amy....for the generous gifts!!

4. Among the best things that had happened this time around is our "Kay Pa's" increase of our pension by 13%!!
It's truly unexpected....but to some, it was expected cos of the impending GE13!!
Anyway, it's a very welcomed increase to our "stagnant" income now with all the inflation & increasing cost of living.
As is, we are now just waiting for the arrears in payment of the difference in pension cos it was backdated to January 2012.
As have always been often quoted, "where to find such money?" True?

Ok...that was a longer post than planned....

Have a nice day! Take care of health always...

Seems like ages....

Weds May 9, 2012

Yup, it seems like ages when me last posted in this Blog!!

Phew! How time flew... And yup, me still around! No worries...

Just that me nowadays am kinda getting lazier and lazier to sit in front of my ole PC to post. Even to browse!

Why? Simply because me have found it so much convenient and easier to do most of that with my ole reliable iPhone 3GS!!!

Anyway, to cut a long story short, life for me & my other half in our OFH ie Lot 10, has been kind routine but peaceful...
We thank God for that and His kind blessings on these 2 ole folks...Amen.

We just want to lead a simple peaceful happy life together in our golden years. Although it's kinda sad and even frustrating to have to go through all those rough times but somehow we now feel that it's been God's way of opening my eyes to what REALITY is all about.

Better to see now than later, right? 

Now to find peace till either one of us has to leave the other behind.

Have a great day and a just as great weekend ahead!!

ps. Sincerely hope to be able to post more the next time around.
