Calls

Posted in: 2024 posts | Food | Life: Anecdotes

Apparently today is one of those rare(?) days where I'm very accepting of receiving calls on my phone XD

One was related to something that happened yesterday. I received a message about someone giving me RM50 as refund for something. Thinking it was just another scam/spam stuff I ignored/blocked it. I did check my bank account just in case but nothing. Today that person called me and told me they had transferred RM50 to my TNG account by mistake! My first thought was, "Oh, so that's why the screenshot looks like that" lol... I don't use TNG that often (& I never transferred funds to someone) so that's a new experience to me today. Later, I asked for the person's phone number and name so that I can return the money to them. I guess it's understandable how the mistake could happen because I also almost made the same mistake (only one number different)... one has to always remember to check the name of the account!

Another call was for a Foodpanda order. *sigh* Maybe because it's public holiday, the restaurant kept running out of food (lol)...

Rain, rain, come this way...

I'm here to complain about the weather~~~

We had a few rainy days every week this month but the other non-rainy days were just humid hot... the humidness makes it so much worse gahhhh I hate it!

So... I ended up going to the Matta fair at SICC last Friday with my family. Main reason of going: I wanted to be in a air-conditioned room (it was good cooled air btw! lol) hahahah seriously though. The weather is hot enough for me to complain at least once daily *sigh*

After that, we stopped by at Suria Sabah for lunch. Also tried llaollao frozen yoghurt for the first time there with Biscoff crumbs, pistachio sauce and Biscoff sauce as the toppings. Really loving that Biscoff sauce though, that's like one of my favourite textures for eating lol

Other updates:

Watching

I've been watching some of this season's anime but the watching slump is still so bad... Wouldn't surprise me if I abandon some of them (to watch for later)
Started watching "The Legend of ShenLi" (it will forever bother me that the official title isn't "Shen Li" or "Shenli" lol) and fell in love with the opening instrumental theme (another link, just in case). It's soooo good!

Reading

Finished reading "Queen of the Tiles". It was just okay, I guess. I don't particularly find the characters likeable. Including the dead character (not spoiler btw) the title of the book refers to.
Started reading "Chess"... I'm reading it very slowly so I'm pretty much still in the beginning...

■ Mood: Worried

■ Food: Cheesecake

Reading has been... slow.
(for physical books)

And current mood is in a state of extremities. It might (or might not) help with reading later because --- escapism. Haaaaaaah

Please be better, tomorrow~

Yes to Coffee

...and the second parcel arrived two days later~

Spirits Abroad・Big Trouble in Little Paradise

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

I've been not holding back at getting coffee at night recently and it's putting me in a good mood...? Surprisingly, it hasn't been affecting my sleep(?) but I notice that I'm generally in a better mood most days. Even when I'm in moments that I normally would not be. But... when I'm annoyed, I am very annoyed... so I'm not really sure what that's about. Oh well. I also have shorter attention span recently... although I'm not sure if that's related to the amount of coffee I'm consuming at night. Hmm.

I don't hate it

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | Interest: TV | Life: Anecdotes

Just finished watching "Meg 2: The Trench" on TV. Why does it feel like watching Jurassic Park movies??? :P... Well, I don't hate it.. The main villain was pretty predictable but the twists(?) related to that was okay I guess... I think they just want the true villain to shine XD (but even that feels like a background thing really.. seriously.. I'm kinda more interested in the one with many arms :P). Hey, at least I like the main characters! I was so surprised by Li Bingbing's absence though (and the way they explained that)!

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Today's random anecdote: Went out to receive the food I ordered using FP and the rider suddenly spoke Chinese to me (he asked me to hold the food while he take a photo). Without thinking much, and since it seems more appropriate, I thanked him in Chinese lol. The me who is shy(?) when it comes to speaking other languages to other people [moreover in real life!], doing that? Who am I???

Well... it's just xie xie though lol

Bao

My weekend list:

~~Finish reading "Zodiac"~~
Manage Watch Later playlist/at least until it gets under 30 videos...
[Finally] Make some progress on small goal...?

Haha... Totally expected that. Well, at least I finished a book....? The Watch Later playlist just got longer lol.

Anyway, a random anecdote of the day. Went to Bataras Kolombong today. There's a newly opened dimsum shop there. I couldn't stop thinking of their bao. The BBQ chicken bao is orange-coloured while the curry bao is pink-coloured... I feel like they should've switched the colours between those two...

Decaf

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | In Zombie Mode | Reading

Grrghhh now I'm faced with this "oooh I wanna read that book..." issue while I'm trying to not read new random ones... I guess I'll make that exception list after all and it won't include the ones [aka light novels] I know I'll enjoy reading. And maybe like finish 2 or 3 currently-reading books first before getting to that list. Also the list will have maximum 3 books, because I know I can't be trusted XD

My reading slump, my rules :P

Tried decaf coffee last night and it was still strong enough to make me stay awake until the morning... oof. I guess it's still no coffee at night for me~ (at least, for most nights that is huehuehue)

Sunday Sighs

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | No Mood | Reading

*sigh*

*long sigh*

Haaaaaaaaah

I really want something sweet at this moment....

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Oh yeah, forgot to mention this yesterday. I'm using the ReadMore app again to track my reading time. I used it diligently in 2021 (can be seen here & here) because I wanted to know the amount of time I take to finish a book. It just feels like I really have to use the reading time more wisely when I use a tracker. Using a timer is great too but... I guess I just want something different this time.

Not sure if it will help with reading slumps though...

Merciless

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | Rainy Day Musings | Reading | The Weather Looks...

Oooh plenty of rain today, that's for sure. It's rained like the whole afternoon. Heavy, merciless rain.

I don't think I feel down [because of the rain] but I actually had some thoughts regarding my physical book reading slump. Won't it be a great(?) idea to totally avoid physical books like maybe a month or more... until I feel like reading one? The rules will include no new physical books and no picking new books from the jar... although I might want to make some exceptions for certain books (like light novels) so I guess I can make a list of physical books that I allow myself to read. Physical books I'm currently reading are allowed since I have to finish them anyway (I should not discourage that).

Drank a glass of chamomile tea last night and I had a nice short sleep hours later. Maybe I'll drink another one tonight...

Dull

My life is being "controlled" by those hormones again.
Which explains the recent mood swings(?). And the lack of sleep. And the irritability.

Going to try finish a [physical] book tonight. While listening to Nicholas Teo's songs. Because it feels like that kind of night.

Oh yeah. Didn't drink any coffee yesterday and I suffered the whole night for it *sigh*. Had a mild, dull headache and lying down didn't make it feel better...

It's Not Thursday

Omg I almost made a Thursday 13 post thinking it was Thursday today lol

Sweet・The chocolate I'm eating while I do this post...

Orangey・Shopee XD (lol).. been window-shopping for large mugs on Shopee today. They have some beautiful and simple ones there...

Minty・Tried using Stevia today because we're out of sugar (it's those cups of hot milk tea *sigh*...). Read online that some people say it tastes like menthol (so minty?) but I'm not getting that taste when I tried it? (I'll try again with Stevia only later)

Salty・My crappy memory nowadays... I know I need to sleep properly but I haven't been able to do that yet *sigh*

Peachy・PockySweet's livestreaming the game "Only Up" while I make this post. He's been playing the game for a couple weeks already (he livestreams every Wednesday) and it's such a pleasure to watch ~~him fall~~ for an S like me :P... It's definitely a game that's more fun when you watch other people play it.

Not Spoilers

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | The Weather Looks...

Not exactly an On This Day post, but I just want to mention two posts from the past (2013 and 2021's OTD post) which were about spoilers. Apparently I didn't time it right because I had another post about spoilers two days ago XD... It's funny that I "posted" it earlier (didn't really bother to check at that time haha)

Anyway, it rained quite heavily all of sudden in the evening... so I'm guessing we'll have another cold night [best for sleeping!].

Ah... I'm craving soup again...

Dragon Lover

...because I happen to love dragons ⇇ No point lol

What happened today:

Actually in a better mood than yesterday... despite lacking sleep.
I like hot milk tea
One of the web novels I'm reading today made me cry
Finally started playing "The Princess in the Mirror" today. Too distracted with other things so I forgot to check when it came out, but better late than never! This is the English version of the game where the butler is my favourite [romanceable] character, Simian... though he got renamed to Simeon there...
Manga discoveries: "The White Cat's Revenge as Plotted from the Dragon King's Lap" because why not? DRAGONS! There's also "Ryukishi no Okiniiri" but that wasn't today. BONUS - Loving "Hikikomori Reijou wa Hanashi no wakaru Seijuuban" which was from few days ago... No signs of dragon (yet?) but this featured sacred beasts which includes a big grumpy Tsundere bunny XD
Realised today that because of the unstable water pressure, I might be able to do laundry in the morning again...!
Kind of started writing one of stories I have in mind but since I haven't thought of the characters' names (it's not easy to name characters!) I had to stop lol

Why not?

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | Interest: TV | Our Internet Woes

Full-on annoyed mode activated.

Just drank a large cup of coffee because why not?

Possibly the most random highlight of the day: Saw a Phua Chu Kang reunion show(?) today and I enjoyed it very much. I loved watching it back in the day... haven't really done a proper rewatch of the show but now I feel like I want to~

Anyway, today internet is being problematic again. Tried restarting the modem because it has been sluggish recently and it won't connect after that. Sigh. I mean, restarting shouldn't be a problem, right? There must be a something wrong on their side.

Ooooh I drank two large mugs of coffee after 6pm~

I've chosen ~~death~~ unsleepiness(?) today :P

It's fine, it's fine... I have this to accompany me... It's fiiiineee~~~

It would be nice if I can finish a book today though...

Troublesome

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | Reading

*sigh* This is troublesome. I've moved on to fan-translated web novel of yesterday's manga and... I can't stop reading it (currently the series has over 400 chapters translated *cries*)...! Haaah it doesn't even have the kind of female main character that I like (she's a little bit of a doormat kind of person and a pushover)...

I have to pace myself because this isn't something worth losing sleep for...! (⁠T⁠__T⁠)

...also, I'm craving doughnuts (the plain kind) as I compose this post XD

Green-eyed

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.

Q4 of 2022

Continuation to this post.

OCTOBER

10/2

I woke up before 6am today.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

10/3

I got my Watch Later playlist to under 10 recently and it has been staying that way for days.

Oh gosh I miss having them under 10... It has been switching between under 30 and 40 videos these past two weeks XD

10/6

Ooh a Thursday 13 post

[ On #1 ]

Haven't started any Eileen Chang's books...

[ On #4 ]
I don't think I've mentioned it here before but... hmmm.. I never really finish watching "Scarlet Heart" on TV. The "schedule" (it was aired 6pm, weekdays) was just too much for me :P. I do remember this one scene that made a deep impression on me: I think they were talking about promising to be honest to each other (no more lies or something) and if there's something they can't tell, they'll just say directly that they can't say it.... Oh wow, it's so long ago, I don't remember the exact phrase anymore.

[ On #5 ]
It took some time but I managed to finish watching "The Legendary Life of Queen Lau"... Fun and wholesome. I got it right about her father. Still love the grey character but apparently the actor is very unlike the character in real life so that kind of made it a bit awkward to watch him... [Reminded me of when I read this book in 2021 and found this article while in the middle of the book. I consider myself a person who can separate the art from the artist but it's hard to continue reading/watching if I happen to know about it while in the middle of the book etc]

[ On #11 ]
Oooh I haven't been playing Peak... I probably should remedy that...

10/10

Unsurprisingly, the "Your Top Songs 2020" playlist had returned several times after that... In the end I tried listening it again (just the first song and then jump to the last song), and then proceed to clear cache from all devices (including browser). That has helped so far. The playlist haven't re-appeared yet so far.

10/12

Is this the post that marks the start of waking up very early to do laundry???

10/14

Been sleeping weird since that day.

*sigh* R.I.P proper sleep.

NOVEMBER

11/2

Oof... Haven't started reading any of those Angela Carter's books. I probably should do at least one this year...

DECEMBER

12/3

Speaking of doing laundry around midnight... recently I was desperate to do them as quick as possible (because there's a water rationing notice - it's for another area - but we try to be extra cautious with these things), so I hung up the second batch of washed laundry like less than 15 minutes to 3am. Got a bit creeped out when I suddenly smelled something like vomit outside (it could be anything! maybe not supernatural) and got reminded of my sister telling me if there's a sudden smell, there's "something" present nearby. I think if it's fragrant it's far... it's near when the smell is the bad. Well, I could've remembered it wrongly, it might have been the opposite... but imagine suddenly thinking of that at that time lol... I don't want to do that ever again

12/7

I'm definitely still ~~obsessed~~ interested in Idol subgenre media lol... Especially after rewatching UtaPri recently. Voltage Inc has released the English version of "PLUST" in the Love365 app (as "PLUST Loving U So True"). Haven't played that one yet because I'm in the middle of Claude in the Japanese version. I might... play his route in the English version one later since his route got released few days ago... I don't want to be invested but I really loved the part where MC is not a fan of them XD (the group she's fan of is also cool so I'm hoping they'll have their own routes later...?)

Haven't been playing "Filament" recently. Lack of sleep has prevented me from playing this mind-taxing game :P... but I guess I'll try to return to it for the sake of completing it.

12/23

I don't use Keysticks frequently but when I do, it helps a lot. I don't need to pull out the keyboard all the time.

12/31

Maybe not entirely related to the post... the "unfinished" feeling lingers throughout this year and I don't plan to do anything about it. I wish to do more new-to-me this year stuff so I'm expecting a lot of things will be left unfinished in the future.

Melted Chocolate

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)

Fishes

Posted in: 2023 posts | Food | Forty Winks and More | In Zombie Mode

Woke up very early today. I'm still feeling the effects of lacking sleep. Interestingly, it isn't like the usual numb zombie mode... but I'm pretty sure it's there/happening. Had difficulty recalling stuff. Suddenly fell asleep while air-drying my hair (and by that I meant propped up on one elbow on bed :P) ... yeah, that's a first. I actually fell asleep on my right arm - it's a wonder that I don't experience cramps (but it still hurts after I woke up).

Anyway, the highlight of the day is fishes. I made contact with 8kg of them today (hesitantly, I assure you). Divided them into portions of three pieces each and put them in the freezer. Not fun. Took me almost two hours to finish them. Fortunately, they are fresh so they don't smell like the bad kind of fishy smell... still hate the whole experience. The only thing I can do was detach myself from my negative feelings for fishes so I can complete the task. Washed my hands at least three times with various soaps after that... and two times more, so I didn't have the time to sniff(?) that fishiness (aaaaahhhh) on my hands.

And... to counter that I have cheese tarts in the refrigerator. Had one after dinner. Will have more tomorrow.

I hope I'll forget all about the fishes by the end of the week...
(probably will be easy with my lack of sleep and such XD)
