My purpled finger (when it was , together, with my other fingers; tapping (thumping), on the keys of the Logitec MX-Keys keyboard… Purpled because it is a mark that I have voted. The purple ink is wearing off.
As for the Logitec MX-Keys keyboard, it has been my trusted tap / thump / type instrument to form the words from the keyboard that my fingers tap on the letters, to the screen. Have been using it for about a year and a half. It is a very comfortable keyboard to work with.
I am looking at the idea of trying out the mechanical keyboard. I am looking at the Logitec MX-Keys mechanical model. It has been out in the market for about a year. It comes with a premium price, not cheap. However, if it helps increase productivity by a wide margin when compared with the standard one which I am currently using, then it may be worth its while. When I checked it out at its launch earlier on this year; the sales representative said that feel and productivity of using this model is very subjective. No rush into getting it, though.
Lunch was rojak – this I believe is called mamak rojak (1). It’s the “famous”(?) SS15 (Subang Jaya) rojak. First of all, I usually do not like to use terms like “famous”, “they say”, “People say”, and there are several more; loosely; or at least, without qualifying them. In this instance, the word “famous” is used with merit because the SS15 mamak rojak is well known.
This meal is mainly made up of vegetables, including cucumber, bean sprouts, eggs, tofu, and fritters. To me, the main attraction of the meal is the sauce that is poured over it to make it a full meal. Its main ingredient is crushed peanuts. Its richness with the other ingredients, especially with its level of spiciness (usually with cut green chilis or even, chili padi [tiny topedo chilis];) helps differentiate the mamak rojak offered by the many restaurants.
A word of caution: This meal is rich in calories. It looks vegetarian enough. The fritters which are fried and the sauce are the calorie culprits. Some restaurants serve a couple of large pieces of keropok (2) with their mamak rojak meal. A good exercise workout should help work off those extra calories that come with this absolutely amazing meal.
After having this delicious lunch; I am about to do like what most normal people do: You’re right. Go out for a 10 kilometer walk. Only then, will I take a nap after I come back from my walk and take a shower.
