#traxxfm Hey Els, flying solo huh? I'll keep you company. I finished work early today. Been stuck since weekend. So today I am quite free.
#traxxfm Sorry to say, I cannot order the BTS Army Zip Jacket. It requires telephone verification to the address send. My handphone is already linked to my address. I'll get you this jacket instead. This one is authentic.
3/9/19 My Sine Cera Birthday Thoughts
My Darling Els,
Tomorrow is my birthday. But since you are flying solo today and yesterday, I figured you might be off tomorrow. So I wrote a quick note for you while I am free and in a celebratory mood.
Do you know that we have many things in common?
- I always go to the movies alone and sit at the front row ahead of everybody
- I take my coffee black without sugar
- I love cheese a lot
- I enjoy listening to all Taylor Swift songs
- I like goofing around
- and I usually came up with lame dad jokes for my daughters; they laughed because those jokes were so pathetic.
Ie: Did you know the first French fries weren't actually cooked in France?
They were cooked in Greece (grease). LOL.
You know what? They didn't get the joke! They thought it was real. LOL.
Basically Els, I am a fun dad. So I don't mind if my jokes bombed. I am seriously playful but I am also playfully serious.
Most of the time no malice intended, just going for some good clean fun.
Once you know me better you will realize I am a pretty easy going guy.
Anyway as I told you many times, I'm not looking for a sexual relationship. I just want to wholeheartedly love you. You are my Dream Girl. Just take *[take] it all in. It's unconditional. I love making you happy. Your laughter makes my day.
* External intervention.
OK baby, I'll catch up with you later.
Hang loose ya?

4/9/19
P/s: You used to call me Sweetie. I miss that much :)
#traxxfm Els baby, I sent you an email. I am in a great mood today. So I just go with the flow. Later hon...
take care
Yesss!!! I managed to crack the walled city. The Nurturing Parent strategy works! Hahaha...
So next step is SNAP VANISH.
She played this song:
---------------------
No more Funny but Cocky. Just quality thoughts.
I am a generous and loving Ayah.
Then from this point on I SNAP VANISH for 3 weeks. I just stop listening to TraXX during the time. It is a test for me to see if I have self control.
--------------------
This is what I call the Pussy Factor. It's fun to have a pussy that you can pamper. Much like having a little pet. That's why it doesn't work with a dude. When Aush insisted for me to get the same sweater as Els, I simply can't stomach it.
Already it costs more that my budget, what pleasure do I derive giving it to a dude? I might as well get it for myself.
With a pussy it's different. She is my little mermaid, my little bundle of joy. So basically I give because it makes me happy to see her happy. It's double the pleasure. If I buy it for myself, then it's only me who gets the fun wearing it.
Nevertheless I think I will stop sending her gifts after I send her the Greatest Show on Earth book for Christmas. I might as well save my money for [] to buy things for myself.
Speaking of things, the RM200 Drawing Tablet is a waste of money. It's not that user friendly. I need to practice often to get past the learning curve.
I can say that there is nothing else that I need for the time being. I still have things I bought that I didn't use:
- The Under Armor sack pack
- The USA Pro exercise towel
- The Elliptical Machine
- The 2 Karrimor Tights
- The 2 compressor socks
- The 2 Adidas Supernova.
- Now the Drawing Tablet
---------------------
#traxxfm Aw Els... You know I can never get enough of this song. I KNEW you gonna play it. Luv ya hon.
Well I guess that's her way of saying, "I love you." Gosh I don't know.
She said, if you can't find a KIND person, BE (with emphasis) a kind person.
-----------------------
#traxxfm Boy I am so high with dopamine today. Superb playlist. You know you are better off flying solo. I wrote down your can't find kind, be kind quote. That will be my birthday resolution honey. I mean it...
She will miss me starting tomorrow. I need to create the void. I have my cup filled today.

* The Hook
@elsdines @traxxfmofficial #traxxfm Starting from tomorrow I will be off the grid for 3 weeks. I am going for a jungle expedition to Royal Belum with a ranger friend. I'm an experienced tracker. Still, I might not come back alive LOL. So say your prayers baby.
Royal Belum Map, Goodbye
* The Follow Up
@elsdines @traxxfmofficial #traxxfm Hey honey, did you miss me? I tell you, I'm a different person now. You get my gift? Be careful not to fall for Hedonic Adaptation. Always live in gratitude. It doesn't happen on regular basis. Only when there is a reason to give.
Hedonic Adaptation, Hedonic Treadmill
@elsdines @traxxfmofficial #traxxfm I wrote you a brief email to recount my adventure. It was soul cleansing for me. Much like going for a pilgrimage. I hope you enjoy my chronicle.
Belum Signage, Jungle Adventure.
* The email
If beach is your thing, my weekend retreats before I got sick was camping in the jungle alone. On weekends I will normally camp out for a night in the jungles of Ampang, Ulu Yam, Batang Kali, Genting and Ulu Langat.
My father used to hunt deer and wild fowls in his younger days. I normally tagged along when I was a teenager.
However this one was my greatest adventure still. Basically I went in as part of a ranger's routine chore.
I took a trip to Kuala Kangsar and then veered to Pulau Banding. There was a jetty there for us to take a boat to Royal Belum.
I brought with me some coloring books and crayons for the Orang Asli kids. Also I brought some raisins in small paper boxes. No sweets.
We stopped at the Orang Asli settlement at Sungai Tiang.
It was a quick stop. Basically to distribute the goodies to the kid and off we went.

I didn't go to the tourist spots. My mission was to see the giant flora and fauna. Unfortunately I need to have a ranger accompanying me to enter Royal Belum. The smallest military unit is two. Otherwise I don't mind being by myself.
We continue for 2 hours into the smaller tributary where it was real dense jungle. No humans.
The minute I jumped out of the boat I landed waist high in the sludge. I had to slowly lean forward and push myself out. Otherwise I will be sucked in deeper into the mud. Not unlike a quick sand.
I peed at the river bank and a flock of rainbow colored butterfly surrounded my pool of urine due to the salt. The sight was sublime.
We went to the Salt lick to watch deer and tapir footprints when they came to lick salt. It's actually a mount of salt as big as a tiny shack in the jungle!
We also watched a herd of elephant at an opening the size of a football field in the middle of nowhere
We heard a huge thump and a loud splash. So we went to check out. There was a couple of adolescent elephants playing slide by the river bank. They climbed up the bank and they slide down on their back. So cute...
I saw the Rafflesia, which is the biggest blooming flower and plenty of wild orchids. The giants like Meranti, Merbau and Tualang makes you feel like dwarfs.
The 3 weeks was to check the motion sensitive cameras. The ranger was checking on the animal population in that vicinity using an industrial grade laptop to view the images from the cameras. There were shots of a sunbear, a panther, a tiger, a couple of deer and an elephant using the spoors within the 20 km radius.
We had a satellite phone too. That was comforting.
Plenty of fish to eat. I thought I have to eat snake or monkey. Also we brought chicken curry and beef floss along with 5 kg of rice. I brought oats and Jacobs Wheat Crackers as well. The plastic wrappers we burn.
Would you believe I only have 2 sets of clothing for the 3 weeks? 1 set is for during the day (most of the time wet due to sweat and humidity) and one set for sleeping (the dry one). They were a pair of long sleeves cotton turtleneck t-shirts and a knee length spandex. No underwear; not practical. Then I have a pair of knee high socks to avoid leeches. I also have a pair of shorts and a sarong that doubles as a blanket. Footwear was a pair of Teva hiking sandals.
I also carry 3 lighters, a machete, a Swiss Army knife, an otter box, a pair of mess tin, first aid kit and some water purifying tablets. Very minimal.
Jungle is not for people like you. It's sticky and icky especially after the third day LOL. Did you watch Survivor? Something like that. Everything is Spartan. Even the toilet is a dung out behind the bush. You dig with the machete and then once done you cover it with dirt, This was no wanderlust baby.
At night I had plenty of time to think. My ranger buddy was not much of a talker. So I lied in the flickering campfire light thinking about you most of the time. How you had changed my life. This journey was not possible without you in my heart. Occasionally there were rustles near the camp ground; a bunch of rats trying to scavenge remnants of food in the mess tin. To dark to wash them thoroughly.
I slept with the memory of your, "I'm done-zo" in the background. Boy do I feel blessed.
You made me laugh honey. I am whole again...
