Learning Ruby via Youtube Tutorial
I bought a book on Ruby and it was designed by a Japanese to make coding fun and easier, with shorter codes as compared to Java. Ruby is useful for Shopify stores and you don't need to create icons, etc as in website development. The game is more competitive with siblings where one of them is a professional graphic designer, while the other is a professional coder with backend database experience. Ruby on Rails is pretty popular and I shall take my own sweet time to digest the many codes and syntax of Ruby. Eventually, I hope to be good enough to work on Freelancer or Upwork and earn much more.

Working Part-Time at a Home Office
I may have a full-time job to work in a home office, but nevertheless, I still moonlight part-time by blogging, completing surveys and doing micro-jobs. These are within my area of expertise and easy peasy. But don't ask me to do coding or debugging and such. You see, I am a very confused programmer and will create bugs and cannot link the logic. It is all unfamiliar territory for me. Today, I gave mum RM 900 for the household expenditure; RM 500 for her own expenses while RM 400 is to help the youngest sis to pay for the utilities, petrol, Astro, etc. Being the only parent left where I inherited my DNA, I should honor my mum, regardless of what happened in the past. As the Bible states, 'Honor your parents, then your life will be prolonged.'

Dinner at The Dome, Gurney Plaza
Above is a picture of my dinner yesterday at The Dome, Gurney Plaza in Penang while my friend had fish and chips. You can scroll or swipe to the left for more pictures. There were several reading materials too and they are premium magazines to flip through. I had chicken mushroom soup pic with vegetables on the side, consisting of corns, carrots, and broccoli. My friend had rocket salad as a side dish with chips and fried fish fillet. The bill was not cheap. It came to about more than $100 for 2. I also had cold speatmint smoothie while my friend had hot cappuccino without sugar. I love to dine here once in a while for varieties sake.

Join Toluna via my Link
I have earned a part-time income from Toluna and if you would like to join, here is my referral link >> https://enmy.toluna.com/referral/philin135 It is not much, but about RM 20 a month, which to me, something is better than nothing at all. You also need to be active and participate in surveys. This is the most paying survey for me as compared to others which will take a very long time to hit the minimum benchmark to withdraw. And if you are lucky, you will get the 1,000,000 points daily lottery which amounts to slightly more than RM 1,200.00 It pays to be diligent and post interesting pictures, encouragements, etc.

So Beautiful, how to Eat?
The above 'pulut kuning' was so well decorated, it was a pity to spoil it by cutting and eating. The quail eggs and cherry tomatoes complement each other. Star anise was used as the swan's pretty eyelashes. Spring onions, carrots, chilies, and leafy vegetables were used to embellish the 'pulut kuning' as well. This is a favorite dish amongst the Malays using sticky yellow rice where the yellow color comes from ground turmeric. Beside is a red velvet cake mixed with chocolate cake and topped with cream icing as eye candy. It was Hari Raya celebration in Penang's Immigration office and I happened to be invited as a guest to savor the buffet food meant for the staff. Also took the opportunity to take away some durian 'gandum' and cakes for my new maid initially.

Mum's birthday on 23rd August
Last night, the 4 of us celebrated mum's birthday as a family minus second sister and hubby in the UK. For 5 meals of steamed fish, braised clams, stir-fried birthday noodles, chilly crabs, a jug of ampla fruit juice, and tofu with egg, the price was $240 which is rather affordable, considering there were several kinds of seafood. This place is Soon Lai Restaurant and is always packed with patrons/diners for its variety of dishes from chicken, vegetables and more. I gave mum $200 angpow in a nice embroizered cotton red cloth packet with a faux jade and some red strings Chinese knotted embellishments. Youngest sis sat next to mum and we drove them to the place from my home at Time Square.

Delicious home-cooked food
When the maid was around to wash the dishes, I took the liberty to cook up a meal at home for the first time after 10 years of eating outside. I bought chicken drumstick, chicken breast to be chopped into meatballs, carrots, big onions, black Shitake mushrooms and scallops with red dates. I boiled the soup and stir-fried eggs with mushrooms, onions, and carrots. It turned out pretty well and the soup was tasty. Even my remaining parent, my mum, drank up all the soup. I hope she appreciates my effort to pleased the family by cooking at home with tender love and labor.
