Our Water Woes
The water is back! Finally!
Actually... I think it's back since yesterday but for some reason the water pressure wasn't strong enough to refill the water tank upstairs.
Honestly, I was so stressed out I had restless sleep these three days. Got so sleepy last night (probably due to that) and slept like a log through the night.

These books arrived today.
I'll admit that they were the result of stress-shopping two days ago XD. It really went "F*ck it, I'm doing this." In my defence though, they are in my want-to-read list soooo.... at least they're not chosen randomly. Shipping was so expensive (T_T)... but worth it - still worth the price when you add shipping (divided by two) for each book since...
The shipping fee was RM20, somewhat unavoidable because shipping to Sabah has always been like that (to be honest though, it's more reasonable nowadays.. it was at least over RM30 using DHL 10-20 years ago).
The books:
- We Were Dreamers: An Immigrant Superhero Origin Story - I'm kind of a fan of Simu Liu after watching "Shang-Chi". Got curious about his life story (those stock photos surprised me!) so I've wanted to read it since two years ago.

Look, I even got it added to my Kindle wishlist :P... (also, oh look at that price! Almost the same price as the hardcover version I have now)

- The Complete Alien Collection: The Shadow Archive - It's 3-books-in-1! (Out of the Shadows, Sea of Sorrows, River of Pain). I'm a bit worried seeing one of the author's name now though (he wrote the movie novelization of "Kong: Skull Island" which I gave 1 star to... but that's probably because I also dislike the movie). I'm really hoping my love for the Alien series will be enough to survive reading these three books~ Might do a re-watch of the movies first before reading (because I need to get into the mood lol)I'll go by chronological order this time - which means I'll start with "Prey" first and end with Alien movies. What fun! The mediocre ones are in the middle so thank god for that....
