Dreams

If I am not an engineer in the future, I have thought of a list of stuff that I would do, or might do, or could do to generate income.

1.Recycling Shop/Company
This is my most ambitious dream that I can have, I think. It is to establish a company that is in charge of the whole recycling process. I am assuming that Malaysia does not have a proper organization or body that manages this part of waste process because to recycle takes so much effort to be done. I would like to be one (insert laugh here) to ease the process for each person. To recycle would be as easy as throwing away another piece of garbage. 
The recycled products would then be used to manufacture recycled stuff (duh) like papers and pencils and whatsoever. In order to encourage people, they would get points for every specific amount of recycled papers/bottles/cans. The collected points can be used to redeem stuff in the future (if I were to make them send the recycled stuff to a specific location). If I were to pick it up at each home, uhh, haven't thought of that... 

2. Lifestyle Cafe
This was my plan with Ninie. We would open up a cafe for people to hangout or to meet up with old friends. We would make a reading corner which includes Ninie's graphic novels and my story books for people to sit and read while waiting or whatsoever. It would cater to young adults and adults in general. It would be a chill but chic cafe, not like a mamak one.
We would serve pastries and desserts, with nice and well-mannered waiters and waitresses. A lot like Kaoru's Cake House. I think we got the inspiration from that story... So dreamy.

3. Classified Website
This was inspired by kijiji and craigslist, obviously. I spent a lot of time using these websites to search and look for apartments and used stuff. I used it for selling stuff too. It is pretty reliable and somehow, I don't really like the layout of mudah.my. I found it to be so complicated and messy. It should be more organised, more categories and such. Maybe it's just the OCD me talking.

4. Lifestyle Website
This was of course inspired by blogs I have read. It's so rare to find blogs with clean and pretty graphics and layouts from Malaysia. The blogs I love are mostly simple but still provide me with vivid images and photographs, easy navigating options too! I am not a good writer but hey, in the future, it would be nice if I can at least see people that writes decently and creative enough from Malaysia even though it's not me.
 Those are the ideas that I have for now. I'll think of more when I daydream in the future. XD

Laundry

Ever since I came to Canada, doing laundry was my favorite chore.

It is so easy to be done with it. Pop in the clothes in the washing machine and then to the dryer. All I had to do was just push some buttons and fold them after. No standing under the scorching heat = love.

After we moved to our new apartment, not anymore! I thought it would be fine to have coin operated washing machine and dryer but it is not!

I hate doing laundry now. The dryer eats up a lot of my quarters and still did not dry my clothes fully! It doesn't help that I don't use cash and hence, the scarcity of coins.

Now my room is full of damp clothes everywhere. I hung them in the living room, behind my door, behind my closet door, on the pulled out drawers, on the laundry basket, on the chairs, on the floor...

Uhhhhh!
