Pandan Day

Posted in: 2021 posts | Blog Meme | Family | Food | On This Day | Online Shopping | Reading

I just realised that it's also Friday on May 7th, 2010. 

It was the day I posted my answers to a blog meme ("Friday 5" / inactive). 

The original site I took the questions from was here: link (but it's not there anymore).

Questions:
1. Who could be described as a nightmare in pink?
2. How long does it take you to type “The quick red fox jumps over the lazy dog” on your cell phone or computer keyboard?
3. What item in a plain brown wrapper did you most recently receive?
4. Who’s got the loveliest cinnamon skin?
5. When did you last take a walk in the lonely silver rain?
6. What is the real inspiration for this week’s questions?
Unfortunately, my answers for Q1, Q4 and Q6 will be the same as before. Can't think of anyone and I have no idea (well this is from more than a decade ago so...).

※ Text in grey  is my answer in May 2010 post

How long does it take you to type “The quick red fox jumps over the lazy dog” on your cell phone or computer keyboard?
12.5 seconds. Computer keyboard.
I used this site to check my time (custom text). In present day, it's 6 seconds. Yeah... I guess that's expected when you use computers [heavily] daily. Probably will take me longer if I use my phone.

What item in a plain brown wrapper did you most recently receive?
Erm... kuey tiaw takeaway?

If this is postal-related... that would be the YesAsia package I received two months ago which contained a YUI album and a "JONAS" DVD.
Today, I received the phone screen protectors (they were in two small brown boxes) I ordered via Shopee.

And wow that name again. If we're talking about albums... I guess my last one was from CD Japan (Arashi's latest album before hiatus,  "This Is Arashi"). Funny story. I totally forgot that EMS is a no go last year (I don't know about now, haven't checked yet) so it got returned to them lol. I knew beforehand but I still picked EMS as the shipping method (because I just woke up when I did the purchase thing). Had to pay a bit more yen to use DHL and... it was the first time I saw that tax thing from kastam. Of course mine was excluded (since it's less than RM500) but wow it felt so official and expensive-looking. It's kind of scary even though mine was RM0....

When did you last take a walk in the lonely silver rain?
Last week. Can't remember which day. But it was after another exam paper - I went out early. It was just starting to rain when I walked to a bus stand near the university's library.
Just happened hours ago.. although it's nothing as "romantic(?)" as before. I was hanging up the laundry and it started to rain very heavily. The laundry is safe but I'm not. 

That's not really a walk though lol

★★★★★
Today is a generally nice day. My sister made pandan doughnuts in random shapes mostly doughnut holes XD. We were out of green food colouring so I mixed the yellow and blue we already have in hand. It's interesting how I got that idea from watching people on Youtube doing art stuff with food colouring. The resulting green looks nice really. Coincidentally, we also have pink so basically we can do other colours if we want.

Finished "The Time of the Ghost". Started "Catch-22". Just realised last night that this version has over 500 pages. *long sigh* It will be the longest book I read this year if I complete it this month. 

I've been using a reading tracker app for some books I'm reading and from the data I have now... I read roughly 100 pages per hour (still depends on certain factors: the book, its size, text size etc). Now I can estimate how much time I need to finish a book. So it will be 5-6 hours for "Catch-22"...? 

Haaaaaahh......
