Green-eyed

Posted in: # Mass Effect | 2023 posts | blog images | Blog Prompts Jar | Food | Interest: Games | Spotify | 蘇有朋

Another colour from the blog prompts jar~ I'm excited!


Green Fulfils My Eyes 
Almost wanted to use this phrase as the post title :P... It's a phrase from Alec Su's "Chu Qu Zou Zou" song... 

One of My favourite Colours
Used to be my one and only favourite colour (which changed accordingly to fandoms lol) but who says you can only have one favourite colour??? These past few years, it's back to being one of my favourite colours. Favourite shades are mood-dependent but recently (as in after Covid started), it's mint green :P

Japanese Genmaicha Latte
Tried a couple of drinks from ZUS Coffee (via FP of course lol) recently and I'm obsessed with this! Love the smell of brown rice mixed with matcha~

Green-eyed Monster
Because I'm only human, there will be moments where I will feel envy of someone or something(?)... I try not to dwell too long with them though because I'm the one who will be sick (literally got a headache once lol). It's more like I acknowledge it and sweep the feeling under the rug. Out of sight, out of mind :P

This can also refers to my FemShep in Mass Effect games that always have green eyes because I want her to XD (she can be a monster sometimes too lol)   

Aqua Green
I've always call these shade of blues and/or greens this since little. I guess I don't really have a specific shade as favourite because I'm a fan of all of them (okay, maybe sometimes more for turquoise but that's not the point now). I just love that they feel like bluish green, greenish blue and both sometimes... and it works perfectly for me because blue is also one of my favourite colours.

Shopee-ing

Posted in: 2023 posts | blog images | Blog Prompts Jar | Online Shopping

Haven't done this for so long XD


Unfortunately, not much to say on this... Haven't done much shopping there especially since the voucher thing. I mean... it's still a regular thing (like at least once a month) just not as frequently as in year 2021. Last year, there were lesser purchases for Big Bad Wolf books... which I think can't be avoided after you got [almost] everything you need from there :P  

I'm still lurking around (mostly window-shopping) though it hasn't been much fun recently because of the expensive shipping fees. Sometimes it's very ridiculous - like a few small stuff amounting to RM33 shipping fee ridiculous - *sigh* I guess Sabah is just too far... The shipping fees for Sabah-local ones are more reasonable and usually I just pay for them but not everything is available in Sabah so...

The courier services they use recently has been nice (as in "behaving well") so far... My guess is there are less packages to manage because people are buying offline more? Just a guess, of course. Only got a few from PosLaju. Mostly were from Shopee Xpress & J&T... also, ABX for packages that came from China. Sometimes DHL too, but that's as rare as PosLaju.

YT Favourites...?

Posted in: 2022 posts | Anime | blog images | Blog Prompts Jar | I Need to Talk About My Dreams | The Weather Looks... | Youtube

Light rain. Thunders can be heard from time to time. 

Started feeling annoyed again but today I also want to laugh at the same time...? (How does that work???)

Had a horror kind of dream last night. I don't know who those people I was with but some of them got possessed or something. They started acting zombie-like. I got so scared... I don't dare to wake up (I dunno why XD). 

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Maybe I should've changed "thing" to "video" (but it can be a playlist too..?)
Interestingly, nothing came to mind (at least for this week). So I'm just going to list out my favourite ones in the past 1-2 months and maybe more (because honestly I don't remember the exact dates lol):
  • Ghostwire: Tokyo - Saw Gab's playthrough to the end. Currently in the middle of PockySweet's last video. 
  • Poppy Playtime - Saw PockySweet's playthrough for Chapter 2 recently. Just knew about the things happening behind the game from JohnWolfe's video.
  • Elden Ring - I'm only watching JohnWolfe's playthrough at this moment.
  • Happy's Humble Burger Farm - Saw PockySweet's playthrough months and months ago. Recently, JohnWolfe played it on his channel.
  • The Closing Shift - Saw a few of these (it's just fun to see their reactions XD). First saw PockySweet's, then Gab's, John's, Sinow's...
  • Friday the 13th: The Game - PockySweet played it recently :P (he always plays it on Fridays that happened to be the 13th). 
  • Lost in Translation - Apparently this has [officially] become a series on Tasty channel...? The "translated" recipe sometimes have very strange directions and that always make me laugh XD
  • Spy x Family - The videos only stay up for 3 hours after premiering (Sat 11pm in Malaysia) so I have to re-watch the anime somewhere else.
That's all I can think of for now...

Yeah I know I said "thing" but I want to list more than one...

This paper is not "Yellow"

Posted in: # AI: The Somnium Files | 2022 posts | blog images | Blog Prompts Jar | Food | Online Shopping | Reading

It's orange :P

I didn't forget about this jar XD

When was the last time I use this? *checks labels* Last September. And it was about the colour red.

Unfortunately(?), I got another colour today haha.


Yellow??? What can I talk about that is related to yellow? 
  • In general, not one of my favourite colours.
  • Yellow (esp the neon ones) is one of my favourite colours for highlighter pens.
  • I [still] want the yellow jacket/coat Mizuki wears in "AI: The Somnium Files".
  • I don't like to eat egg yolk. I can eat it fine as an omelette and hard-boiled egg. I especially don't like the runny ones, fried or boiled. (although I've learnt to appreciate the taste of soft-boiled eggs in ramen. Only in ramen!)
  • I like my ginger tea unsweetened (or less sweet). So ginger tea bags without sugar is the way to go! I wish they sell that locally instead of the overly-sweet powdered version. For some reason, I'm not fond of using the fresh ones 'cos it reminds me of savoury soups and chicken rice lol
  • Lemon juice sometimes irritates my throat so I don't think of that first when I have a sore throat. My mother adds lemon juice to her coconut water, it's tastier that way, according to her. I never tried it but I assume it's like when you drink those isotonic drinks? (a lemon-flavoured 100plus exists/existed, I think).
  • I love naturally sweet pineapple. I'm not a fan of pineapple in savoury dishes (like pineapple chicken) BUT I love pineapple on pizza. There, I said it.
  • Yesterday on Shopee: I looked for coloured pencil leads. Wished it existed when I was still attending school lol but we have them now, and yellow is one of the colour I found available!
  • Since the [digital] folder logo is yellow: Remember the software I mentioned in a post before? Yeah, can't use it properly now. Don't know if it's because of recent windows updates or something else... Well, it's expected I guess since Windows 10 isn't supposed to be able to run this software but... I'm super sad about it. It was such a useful software too...
  • Update on Yellow-Spined Books: Already read "All the Feels" last February. Planned to read "Journey Under the Midnight Sun" soon (I just decided this just now lol)
Oooh... I actually managed to write 1o things lol

This was fun!
I almost forgot that I need to publish this before midnight :P

I see "Red"

Posted in: 2021 posts | blog images | Blog Prompts Jar | Me.

Or should it be "I saw..."? Anyway, no one is seeing red today. Not me. I just love puns.

Today I had this random thought: 
I want a large-sized set of playing cards. 

Found several options on Shopee but I know I don't need it. So I'll just put it in my Shopee likes for the time being. What would I even do with it? I don't even have enough people to play with lol

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Since I haven't used my blog prompts jar lately, I decided to pull one today. 

It's "Red". 

Not going to say much but I find this interesting because I was just browsing Shopee minutes before for a red stamp pad refill ink XD. Look at that photo, clearly I need one, right? At this moment, I only have black and blue ones.


Red isn't really one of my favourite colours but sometimes I will pick this colour over others (including my favourite colours) because it's just so... pretty. Very eye-catching and bold. To me, it symbolises my rebellious side. 

For clothing, I kind of prefer the salmon red colour that leans toward orange.  <- random fact about me haha

Friday's Pain

Posted in: 2021 posts | Blog Prompts Jar | Reading | TV

Woke up with pain in the neck in the morning.

*SIGH*

I picked one prompt from my blog prompts jar and it said, "Last week's purchase." (LOL) Surprisingly, I don't have any purchases last week... so I decided to put the prompt back into the jar. So, not doing that today. 

Haven't done much reading these few days. Maybe after this publishing post (hopefully). 

Oh right, I mentioned "Scarlet Heart" yesterday and I probably will want to watch it anyway because I just recalled last night that Lin Gengxin was in it. *sigh* (Suddenly want to watch "Princess Agents" again but I dread Yan Xun & Chun Er scenes...haaaah)

One Flavour

Posted in: 2021 posts | blog images | Blog Prompts Jar

Here it is. The first one. Spice.


Spice. Heh. What would I even write about with this prompt? Something like my "5 Flavours" post? 

I'll try to make it a bit different. But still with 5 items. Because I love the number 5. 

SPICE_1 = Food
♛ I generally like spicy food. But I can't handle super hot ones. 
♛ I saw this in one of Arashi shows before. To relieve the pain spiciness in your mouth, you should eat something cold and sweet. The thing they recommended is ice cream. It works for me so that's my go-to food when it got too spicy.

SPICE_2 = Late Lunch
Ate spicy tonkotsu ramen for lunch XD. Quite nice.

SPICE_3 = Shopee
I tried getting the timed voucher for days and it's always fully redeemed within a second from the time. It's so weird because I managed to get twice in the past. Later, Mel-chan told me it's actually quite rare... which means I was just lucky. In the end, I just used my monthly voucher lol. No use getting mad about it. Why not wait for 6.6? Because one of the books I want had one copy left so...

SPICE_4 = Book
Does "Bridget Jones's Diary" count as a spicy book? Currently I'm reading this. Interesting so far. I can't wait for that part where she meets Mark Darcy again.

SPICE_5 = This prompt
This can be anything really. I could've tried writing a story with that prompt word. I can list items that starts with S, P, I, C and E. Wow.. now I can't wait for the next prompt. Although I only pick one out of the jar when I ran out of ideas... so this will be random.

The Jar

Posted in: 2021 posts | Blog Prompts Jar | Books

I finally did it. The blog prompts jar I mentioned back in February. It will be added from time to time. And... I don't keep track of what I write so there might be duplicates in the future. Totally fine with me. Will also add prompts I found online later. You'll be seeing my handwritten notes more so... yeah, erm.. I don't know if that's a good or a bad thing.

I will stamp the date for the day I wrote them on these.
Re-used this plastic jar
It didn't take long to set up. Totally not saying that to roast past-me XD Simple design only because I don't want to put too much efforts on it. As long as it's functional.

This also seems like a good way to pick out books I owned that I never read. Definitely will do that later. I already have a plastic jar ready to be [re-]used.

0 or 100

Posted in: 2021 posts | About Blogging | Blog Prompts Jar | Knit/Crochet Stuff | Reading

Okay. It's one of those days where I wish I could use my blog prompts jar. Oh wow.. that's way back in February. The funny thing is, I already found a container to put them but I haven't fill in anything. Typical me. 0 or 100. Do it straight away or do it later (like way, way later).

Currently I'm... 
  • Reading: "Hexwood" by Diana Wynne Jones. I miss the look of the version I borrowed before from the school library (the one with a tree). But that one's too expensive on Book Depository. Really wish that her books will be republished again. This is a reread but I've totally forgotten what the story is about. 
  • Knitting: Okay. Made some progress on the remaining 4 stripes (yup, doing them at the same time since I have enough knitting needles). Received the yarns for 2nd haramaki project today so I'm like a bit motivated to finish the pillow case. I also haven't finished knitting the headband. I'm trying not to rush because I make more mistakes that way.
  • Not Cleaning Room: It's like I've forgotten that it's not over yet  haha... but not really in the mood now so I don't know.
  • Going to Eat Dinner: What I'm doing after I post this XD

Was going to make the title of this post "YIF" but I don't really have anything to rejoice about on Friday so I changed it. I still love Fridays though.

A Blog Prompts Jar

Posted in: 2021 posts | About Blogging | Blog Prompts Jar

In the past, I had this idea of compiling one-word writing prompts in a box/jar for writing stuff in my diary/journal. It never materialised because I don't always do it anyway. Recently, the idea came back in mind but for blogging use. I think it would be a good idea on days where I don't know what to talk about.

After doing some googling, I did find some writing prompts online. Like this one from The Sits Girls for bloggers. Also found this from Tumblr (but it's more for writing practice?). There's also one from Daring to Live Fully with the jar idea!

Now I'm feeling a bit excited to do a jar. Or box. Or whatever suitable container I can find at home. I can just add little by little, it's not like I'm going to pick one out daily, right? I might do a mix of one-word type and questions for my future self...


Oooh sounds like it's going to be fun.
