Malaysia without coins?

Back in primary school around 1995, I still remember my mother would give a pocket money of 30 sen for primary school and my sister in high school 50 sen. "Young people, give small amounts of money ah". Seems a small amount, but that was the power of the buyer in the old days. Now, buyer power is getting less with a mixture of world inflation and money politics. Do we remember the 1 sen copper brown coin? And it has been abolished, no more sellers putting Rm 0.99 on each of its items. Wink.  Again, Malaysia without coins? You said it's impossible for this to happen, but I can say ...

Instead of retire from my job at age 55 or 60 with long hours standing and do hard flexible posture, apparently I want to fully retire before age 40 maximum. Based on my plan, I will pre-test my option at age 35 to see how the process and continue to do my best for next five years. Let's say my finish line at age 70 or 80, so I have like half of my ...

How are you today?  Today, I'm under the weather these few weeks with minor flu and exhausted. Maybe because I spent lots of time with clean my parents house and did few events there. March seems fully to me, I really filled it up with family and friends time. Keeping busy with birthday party for March and February babies, attend wedding with food poisoning,  video call session who's far away, grooming plant to keep them healthy, given gift for special friends, durian tasting yummy, and etc. I can said, I ate a lots of delicious food! I bet my weight is pumping hard. Ohuh. By the way, I'm happy and smiling a lot these few weeks.

But now, after resigning for about two months I kept close with people I love and who's appreciate me. I come back to my childhood memories, silly moments with my siblings or even friends ...
