Q1 of 2022

Posted in: 2022 posts | About Blogging | Digest Post | Interest: TV | Life: Anecdotes | Online Shopping | Piano | Reading | Youtube

Decided to make this into a three months per post thing. 


JANUARY
1/3
...still not going back to disqus. 

1/5
Oohh... haven't been reading blogs like that recently. It's kind of hard to do that when I didn't have access to a computer (since I like multitasking through many tabs). 

1/8
Oh gosh... My daily 1-hour piano practice thing! LOL.. I think it lasted less than two months...? I really want to get back to that but... the thing is, I'm faced with a somewhat complicated situation. End of 2019 and early 2020, I started teaching piano and since it seems like it has "calmed down" (??? BTW I'm in the doubtful, pessimist camp) I was asked about it again some time ago. The thing is... I have trust issues. PLEASE... JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!!! :( 
 
1/19
I actually got e-mailed about my expiring ATM debit card from CIMB last month. I asked for home delivery and I already got it (very fast! As expected of PosLaju lol). It seems bothersome though that you can only activate it through ATM. I don't know about Maybank though... I'll check Maybank2u on desktop later. Anyway so the answer to my own question... they'll inform you as early as 3 months before the expiry month, I guess??? [...Checked, done. Apparently, you can do it within a year before the expiry date...???]

1/22
Haaaah... been re-reading "Leftover Princess" recently. ...And searching for them on Amazon JP, Kinokuniya etc hurts my heart. Seems like they're out of stock everywhere. I wish I can get the ebook version (legally) but I don't feel like making the effort to do that... can totally see me succumbing to do this anyway in the future, especially when I'm feeling super desperate XD [after I typed this part out, I spent like 0.5-1 hour looking for place to buy the ebooks... *already got distracted lol* *yay, priorities!*]

1/23
Those books... Really glad I already finished all of them! Especially Joseph Conrad's book *SIGH*

1/26
Speaking of soups... I think I'm craving for them again lol

1/29
Haven't been playing Wordle daily recently... Some time after the post, I also started playing the Malay version one but, that has also been abandoned by me haha


FEBRUARY
2/1
Typical me... I haven't finished watching Nobuta on Netflix yet. Not in the mood.

2/7
Unfortunately, haven't returned(?) to this book yet. Maybe I'll try to squeeze this in later after I finish some of the books I'm currently reading...

2/9
Ah, the reading schedule generator. This has helped me finish several books this year. It works! You don't even need to print it out really, just write down the schedule somewhere. And remember, it only works if you follow the schedule closely (obviously). Here's a tip, don't be too ambitious. If you can't finish in one week, make it longer. You'll finish a book even if you only read one page everyday... so make it a month or several months (or years!) if that makes it easier to read a book. It will work. You just have to do it daily. 

2/10
Post mentioning 800th post. If I'm not mistaken, this post is my 1000th published post in this blog... so yay to more in the future!

2/15
Still shredding papers today. Mostly with the help of a shredding machine (yes, it was purchased months ago). On the papers I can re-use: totally getting out of hand because I have more now, I haven't even use them much XD (should I start doing Math problems again? lol)

2/17
I never restart that knitted blanket project after that...

2/19
Lol... I haven't finished watching these. I think I'm still stuck in "Jurassic World"...? I'm not even sure if they are still available to stream/on-demand anymore *sigh*

2/23
Again stating it here, I'm sooooo glad I finished "The Rover"...!


MARCH
3/11 
Predictably, I have more [new] bookmarks now :P... I might update the post later when I organise them again. It's not really necessary but it's fun to look back at the post in future... so the update is for me lol

3/12
Oooh so I did finish watching Toby Stephen's version... kind of liked it, but maybe not as much as Leonardo DiCaprio's version (you can really see the budget difference there). I would still recommend watching it if you're a fan of the book... just for the sake of watching an adaptation. There's a different vibe (more low-key) there as it's not as showy and grand as the 2013 version.

3/16-17?
Ah.. the first time I didn't post anything this year lol

3/24
Which is... reading a book from the family bookshelf~! 
That was in March??? Barely read anything from the family bookshelf (ah.. but I did read that self-help book...). Not brave enough for this one yet. Honestly.

3/30
As of August 26th, my longest book read this year is now the Inkheart trilogy. I think this will stay that way for the rest of the year... I don't really have that many over-1000-pages books. Probably there are some in the other jar, but let's not think about that yet.

      “Every problem has a solution. But there's no guarantee that the solution will be found immediately. The same holds true in our lives. We encounter several problems to which the solutions are not immediately apparent in life. There is value to be had in worrying about those problems when you get to them. But never feel rushed. Often, in order to find the answer, you need time to grow first. That's why we apply ourselves, and learn as we go.” -Dr Manabu Yukawa, A Midsummer's Equation
