Project MISER DAYS 3-8: Psychotic episode

by

warded again

I was warded after a little psychotic episode on Sunday and was kept in until Friday (just now) before the psychiatrist deemed me fit for discharge. I’m on lamotrigine now as a mood stabilizer in addition to my existing repertoire of drugs [sixthseal.com]. I’m on 4 mg of Risperdal and 60 mg of Remeron daily though, that’s the changes to the older post.

The picture above shows the scar from the previous hospitalization [sixthseal.com] which has its stitches removed and is now nice and comfy.

warded again hospital food

Mmm…hospital food.

warded again hospital food macro

Mmm…a closer look at hospital food.

warded again mcdonalds

Mmm…McDonald’s McDelivery delivered to not just my ward, but my bed!

warded again mcdonalds happy meal

Happy Meals makes me happy.

warded again mc

I am slightly retarded. Just FYI.

warded again tax

Your taxpayer’s money hard at work! It cost me just RM 12 for my entire stay! Yes! I am certified insane!

P/S – The hospital bills were footed by my dad so he’s the sponsor of this post and the days ranging from the 3rd to the 8th of Project MISER Month on the account that I’m in the hospital. The project will continue as normal but without accounting for the impulsive tattoo done (next post) coz that tattoo cost RM 500 and it’s not a monthly expense but more of an impulsive event so I’m not including that. Future posts will not have Project MISER RM 250 appended to it but will be normal post titles. The post body will still include Remainder details and expenses though.

Remainder: RM 162.20

Project MISER DAY 2: Saturday night

by

guinness stout joanne

I didn’t spend a single cent on Saturday night, thanks to Joanne.

guinness stout promo

She bought me the 5 Guinness Stout for RM 50 special, which would have put a huge dent into the project rationing if I were the one who got it.

I still have two bottles left in bottle keep at Luconia from last month so 7 Guinness Stouts and a couple of Dormicums was about right to get me there.

Thanks Joanne, for getting the drinks!

Project MISER DAY 2: RM 50 reload

by

digi reload

I just got a RM 50 DiGi reload coupon for my 014 680 2348 number. I’m sorry I lost it just now, I haven’t taken my benzos and it was an honest mistake on my part and I just couldn’t let it lie that it wasn’t my intention to cause you any grief. I’m sad and angry right now, but strangely at peace at last.

Remainder: RM 162.20

Goodbye *x, if you can’t find it in your heart to forgive me. I will always love you and have good memories of you.

Project MISER Day 2: KFC Meltz and Chick'n Fingers

by

kfc

I went to KFC just now with Cherie and Joanne to get dinner. KFC is having a dual promotion – the KFC Meltz and Chick’n Fingers.

kfc meltz

KFC Meltz is being heavily promoted by print and other media and is a tortilla based wrap with BBQ chicken meat which is similar in concept and taste to the KFC Chick’n Fingers.

kfc meltz promo

The KFC Meltz meal comes with:
1 Cheesy BBQ Meltz
1 Fun Fries (R)
1 Carbonated Drink (R)
and costs RM 8.39

kfc chickn fingers promo

The KFC Chick’n Fingers comes in sets of 4 and 8 and goes for RM 4.10 for the set of 4. It is described as “Try new chick’n fingers in BBQ flavor! So crunchy, yummy and easy to eat!”

kfc total

The entire meal I ordered cost RM 13.12 but it’s not counted since this post (and meal) is proudly sponsored by:

kfc cherie

Cherie! She paid for my meal after hearing about Project MISER month.

The KFC Meltz comes in a custom designed box…

…and tastes like chicken (seriously though, what did you think it’s going to taste like? Lamb?)

Thanks for sponsoring dinner and thanks for being there for me when I needed it Cherie.

Project MISER Day 2: Morning Coffee

by

morning coffee

I got black coffee without sugar (RM 1.10) this morning to wake me up. I usually get one with Alex but I came in early today so I paid myself. I work on Saturdays so it’s necessary to kick start the day. I average about 3-4 coffees a day and that comes up to RM 4.40 per day or RM 132 per month, nearly half of the allocated RM 250 for this month so I’m thinking of ways to reduce this expenditure.

Any ideas?

Project MISER Day 1: 7-11 is the spot

by

7 eleven

I went to the local 7-11 after work yesterday to get some groceries a.k.a dinner:

7 eleven dinner

Spritzer Natural Mineral Water (RM 3.80)
Dutch Lady Fresh Milk (RM 5.10)
Kit Kat Chunky International Recipe (RM 2.50)
Mars bar (RM 2.80)

Total: RM 14.20

7 eleven total

This is the last time I’m getting bottled water. I drink 1.5 liters at night and I must remember to bring the empty bottle and refill it at the office’s water cooler before I punch out at work. It’ll save me RM 114 this month, nearly half of the entire month’s quota. This is one of the things I realized I can save but I never do – I get bottled water everyday for drinking.

That’s the end of Day 1…I spent RM 36.70 which is definately not sustainable. I’ll try harder during Day 2.

Remainder: RM 213.30

Project MISER DAY 1: Panafen Plus Lunch

by

cf perth

I just got a care package from a friend in Perth, Australia who sent it via an intermediately due to her distance. It’s Panafen Plus, a preparation of 200 mg ibuprofen and 12.8 mg codeine in a 48 caplet box.

cf panafen plus

I took all of the 48 caplets for a heroic 614.4 mgs of codeine, just nice to put me into a good mood. Actually, I’m lying, I miscalculated and went OMFG after I used Calculator and found out that it was 600+ mgs of codeine instead of the 300+ mgs I calculated in my head. I’m still going to sit it out anyway. :p

cf note

The Panafen Plus came with a note from my friend in Perth who wrote it in her handwriting. I haven’t received handwritten notes in a long time.

cf panafen plus 48

This is what the Panafen Plus by GSK blister pack looks like. Inside are small easy-to-swallow caplets.

cf panafen plus eat

Down the hatch! That’s my codeine lunch.

Mmm…I can feel the warmth now…and I’m kinda nodding off. Opiate naive again….no tolerance.

Remainder: RM 250
