Not really a staycation...

Posted in: 2023 posts | blog images | Family | Our Water Woes | Reading

So... the ridiculous thing was... my family and I ended up staying at a hotel in Inanam last night. Mainly because we had no water at home. Other reason is my mother wanted to try staying there.


Don't worry, this post is not a review or anything like that. I do want to show some stuff that I find interesting.

First, this. 

This is like the perfect reading corner, don't you think?
 


The light above is just perfect. I did my reading for the longest "short story" (which is actually a novelette/short novel) in "The Unreal & The Real" here. Part of it anyway. Finished the story while lying down XD. Unfortunately, I have two more stories (second longest, both have the same amount of pages) to read. I thought I should get the longest one done first after I was left with the longest and second longest...

...Gosh, I don't want to see the word f*ckery anymore lol. The story in general is interesting, but the one (there are several stories in this short novel) that stayed with me without me wanting it to is "Love Out of Place"... the nerve that Azak has, wow. I guess it shouldn't be surprising that she thinks that way, because of their culture(?), but I was having second-hand embarrassment the whole time at the end of her story. Her confidence was cringe.

Anyway, I slept with the window curtains open wide so I was greeted by sunshine in the morning...
  

View outside the room

I got curious of that ring thing. No idea on how they're formed. 

Just ignore the reflection lol

Upon our return to home, the water is back (with low pressure, as usual). I never expect to say this here but...: As much as I hate the idea of doing it, I might have to pull an all-nighter today. Have to catch the... water.

HAAAAAAH~~~

Brown

Posted in: 2023 posts | Our Water Woes

Finished re-watching "Prometheus" in the morning. I remember being mesmerised by the vibes but oh gosh the main characters are so annoying. Still annoying years later after I first saw it. The story is a mess (neutral kind). The crew doesn't deserve that ending :(.... Such a stupid and expensive mission. I do like David better now though. Despite what he did.

Anyway, things have gotten ridiculous. Will explain in tomorrow's post. 

No sign of water at 3am. The water that flows out of the faucet outside (the one nearest to the meter thing) is brown. 

Woke up to a power outage in the morning. I like to think that this was SESB getting back at the water department people for not giving them [enough] water. Of course, I don't even know if they have water problems like our area XD... but I was not having a good morning so I tend to villianise (not even sure if that's the right term) everything when I'm in a bad mood (basically the "Everything is stupid" kind of mood).

Salve for the soul

Posted in: 2023 posts | My Salty Side | No Mood | Our Water Woes

I am calm. 

It hasn't been a great day for early morning laundry routine because the water pressure went south around 5am (probably earlier). 

I am calm and collected.

Practically binge-watched "By the Grace of the Gods" today. Wholesome anime. A salve for my soul. Very pro-slime, apparently XD, but I have no problem with that. The main character loves them and it's very interesting to see how he handles them. I almost wish that his laundry store exists in real life because he doesn't need water to clean them (someone commented in one of the episodes that one should form a contract with their washing machine first, and that comment made me laugh out loud XD). Or have my own cleaner slime.... because water is so overrated /s  (¬ε¬)フーン

I am calm, collected and in control of my happiness.

The day has been a big f*cking MEH so far and I choose to be happy. True happiness. Fake happiness. All kinds of happiness are welcome today.

Who needs clean laundry anyway? Laundry be damned!

So cool

Posted in: 2023 posts | Interest: TV

I've decided that I'm a fan(!) after watching "Alien vs. Predator". The xenomorphs are such a cool concept for a scary monster! Unfortunately, the sequel "AvP: Requiem" was quite embarrassing to watch. WTF was that? *sigh* maybe I just don't like it when they "come" to the [modern] cities. The humans didn't stand a chance, it's embarrassing! Anyway, this movie is quite dark... I was using filmmaker mode on TV for all the movies before that and was okay with them but for "Requiem", I had to change the settings. Not really bothered by it though but just want to make a note about it here.   
Currently in the middle of "Predators" which I've watched several times in the past. Loved watching Adrien Brody here. It does feel a bit different re-watching this now after watching the earlier movies. Like, "Oooh.. I get that reference!" :P

Dead Links

Posted in: 2023 posts | Weekend Musings

I've been organising my Chrome bookmarks today. 

Not fun. Never thought I could be emotional(?) seeing so many dead links. Some of them are websites I used to go in the past... so it feels weird. 

Begrudgingly added the "Bookmarks clean up" extension to Chrome to help with the organising. 

I also [finally] made an account on fanfiction.net. Not because I'm going to debut my HLITF harem fanfic (huehuehue), but to "bookmark" fics I'm invested in (apparently, since they are in my Chrome bookmarks) by following/favouriting them.  

Dead Tumblr accounts/posts, dead LJ accounts/posts, abandoned(?) forum... speaking of forums, I actually posted some minor (event) walkthroughs on kokoro-cafe.net..? I'm surprised that I post anything at all because I usually just lurk around. I don't know why I feel embarrassed to see them though lol.

...this might take longer than a few days to finish *sigh*

"What's burning?"
"Us!"
"Sh*t! You're right!"
"AHHHHHHH~!!!!!"
        ―Alien: Resurrection

Just finished "Alien: Resurrection"... This one is CRAZY! WTF! I think I saw this one before too because I somewhat knew one of the plot twists. It's weird seeing them injecting a bit humour into this one but I kind of love the vibes...? And the real villain here is the humans! We never learn!

I actually enjoyed "Alien 3" too. They didn't choose to be involved. That somewhat makes it scarier for me.

Melted Chocolate

Posted in: 2023 posts | About Blogging | Anime | Food | My Fangirl Side | The Weather Looks... | Uta no Prince-sama | Youtube

Hot day. I left out a jar of chocolate (and forgot to eat :P) and each pieces melted and merged into each other.

Anime
☆ Found another cosy-looking isekai anime~ By the Grace of the Gods. The first season is from way back in 2020 so I'm a few years late but who cares! Hopefully I won't find any reasons to DNF it...
☆ Muse Asia is currently showing UtaPri 1000% so I guess it's time to fall in love with meet Tokiya again XD (The theme song really doesn't help, it has to be Tokiya :P... at least for the first season). It's also going to feel a bit different now with my newfound [but not really new lol] love and appreciation for Jinguji Ren.  

Tumblr
Suddenly have the urge to revive my personal Tumblr today although I don't know where to start. Probably should start with cleaning up my following list. I could start reblogging stuff related to current life (like things I'm currently watching or reading). I used to add quotes from books I was reading too... where have all those moments gone to? *sigh*

Alien & Predator
Currently watching "Alien 3". Back to space!  I saw this one on TV before but only the last half. The beginning got a big WTF reaction from me (imagine watching this directly from "Aliens" omg). As usual, people being unprepared again (although it's not really their fault), and f*ck there's animal death (I don't care if this is considered a spoiler, people should be warned!)... and a man-killing space cockroach that's hard to get rid of *shakes head*. Now I'm kind of looking forward to the crossover movies! I wonder what do you call those predator aliens? (I haven't got far into the series and I'm trying so hard not to stumble on spoilers. I did watch some of the newer movies but I don't remember much)
