Angry post ahead.

I'm mad.

What a troublesome day today is. URGGGH.

Had to go out to the bank to get a new ATM debit card made because someone* in KL used my debit card for a Grab transaction (no idea what). I guess you would think it isn't much (see title, that's the amount) but the troubles it's giving me is so much more than that.

[*that I hope will not live peacefully after this because I'll curse them in my head every time I recall this - seriously F**#$&^#@& ]

Gaaaahhhhh I'm so mad right now!!! Currently, I have an ongoing Kino order that used the old debit card that I most probably have to cancel... it was supposed to be a good deal - it was purchased during their 15% discount sale and I also used my RM15 voucher - and that will now mean nothing because that idiot decided to mess with my day (and it's Ohno Satoshi's birthday, of all days! Which means I might remember this every year because it's on his birthday ~~F*ck~~).

So, so mad!!!! Since it's not time to replace my card yet, I also had to pay RM12... Such unnecessary expense! Just because of that idiot!! F*CK

The whole thing thing is so troublesome!
I hate troublesome things!

....F*CK!!!

Updated List

On this day... I posted thrice in the past: 2019, 2021 & last year~

The posts from 2021 and 2022 were about what I watched and read/was reading so... I guess I could give some short updates:

---Reading

Currently, I'm focused on Volume 2 of "Last Boss Queen" (hehe)...

---Watching

I'm still in the middle of watching "M3GAN" (surprisingly, not enjoying it so far... maybe it will be better when sh*t starts happening) & "Violent Night" (pretty enjoyable, but I'm only halfway through). Still, kind of, experiencing anime watching slump *sigh*...

2019

I'll be honest, I'm excited to do today's post because of this 2019 post.

Here's an update to the list!

Infrequent

Posted in: 2023 posts | Forty Winks and More | I Need to be Distracted | Utterly Distracted

I fell asleep quite early last night. Didn't expect that could still happen... well, it's a good thing, can't really complain(?)... pretty sure it won't be frequent so I'll take whatever I can.

Nothing New

Posted in: 2023 posts | I Need to be Distracted | Reading

■ Mood: Sleepy

Took a brief look at my Google News feed just now and realised it has a new look (yeah I open it once every 6 months lol). The only tab I find readable is the "Following" tab... "Home" and "For you" usually disappoint me with news I'm not interested in. Kind of like "Local" too but it usually shows old news... not sure why.

...I still don't like reading news[paper] though. I only read them when I'm looking for specific ones.

I forgot

Something got delivered in the mail today and I totally forgot all about it lol.

It's one of the books I ordered on Amazon SG order from early August. It really took some time to be shipped out... (there's another book not shipped out yet *sigh*)

"The Mill House Murders"

Ooh I think I'll read this book first before I start rereading DWJ books (for now I've chosen two books of hers: "A Tale of Time City" and "The Homeward Bounders") because I'm in the mood for mystery~ Probably because I've been watching the ZTD playthroughs on Youtube... I'm itching to solve some of the puzzles.

Familiar

Posted in: 2023 posts | Diana Wynne Jones | I Need to be Distracted | No Mood | Reading

Haaah... I wanna read something familiar today. Writing styles I'm familiar with & comedic sense I'm used to...

I guess there's no helping it, I'll pick one of Diana Wynne Jones' books to reread this week~

Meh

Today mainly feels like this to me: 😑

Read something? 😑

Final episodes of anime I've watched so far? 😑

I'm saving ~~the best~~ "The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior" for last.

CMBF #4? 😑 (though more 😮 really)
Took me some time to finish both parts. Kind of sad that I can't watch certain performances (due to copyright issues I guess). Anyway.. dunno why I'm not vibing with this new season, the performances were interesting but... something is missing...?

...I hope this week will be nice to me...

Unneeded Distractions

Posted in: 2023 posts | I Need to be Distracted | The Weather Looks... | Utterly Distracted

It rained hard in the afternoon. It's a welcome change from the hot weather we've been having days before today but the sound the heavy rain made was kind of scary...

Anyway, fell into yet another rabbit hole today... and that's all I'm going to say about it.

I do have the habit of getting in them when looking for distractions... I should stop looking for other distractions that will distract me from my the thing I'm [currently] distracted with. *sigh*

SIGH

*BIG SIGH*

I really, really want to continue reading the second volume of "The Saint's Magic Power is Omnipotent" but... I don't have the next three volumes yet~~~ There IS that option of continuing by reading the web novel instead... but I'm reading it together with the light novel... ahhhh what a dilemma~

Anyway, while we are online again after that day, the connection stays unstable these few days. Some days it would just start getting laggy. Today, we lost wifi... and that doesn't happen that often. I was quite surprised. There is internet but no wifi. Apparently it's not enough to reboot (in 192.168.0.1), I had to reset/restart the router itself then only the wifi works again.

Fel

Still a bit irritable so I'm trying to keep my mouth shut more to prevent disasters(?).

But... I just saw the last episode of "Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill" last night... GAAAH I love it so much. He's so gorgeous!

SO. CUTE.

I know people really love Sui (I love Sui too) but for me, it's Fel. Even if he's just a gluttonous Fenrir XD

[The screenshots are taken from the videos on Muse Asia channel but the anime is also available on Netflix.]

On other anime that just ended:

"By the Grace of the Gods" & "The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague" ended peacefully. I might want to re-watch the whole thing again later :P

A cliffhanger(?) ending for "Sugar Apple Fairy Tale" since it ~~unfortunately~~ has a second cour. I still don't like the MC so I don't feel sorry seeing what she lost in the end. In fact, I was smiling (while I rolled my eyes) because I'm just being my mean self.

I do feel sad for Challe (Shall?) though, that other girl sounds like bad n-eww-s... (did it work? I tried putting eww in "news" because that's how I feel about that other girl)

A great day to be in an irritable mood. I feel like I'm going to burst up. Haven't happened yet... hopefully it will not happen.

I have to distract myself.

It's Friday

Posted in: 2023 posts | Dorama | Forty Winks and More | I Need to be Distracted | Reading

When I think of a solution, I prefer one that is simple and practical. Not too deep, not too troublesome.

No points to be made really :P That just came up at the same time I'm doing this post~

Finally finished reading "The Silent Dead" last night. It made me appreciate the dorama more for some reason. It was actually a good adaptation. Had the same vibes with the book. Borrowed the other book online (fortunately, no one is borrowing the book so I don't have to wait!) since my copy has yet to arrive *sigh*.

Had some kind of existential crisis moment after waking up (actually don't really remember when, maybe before I fall asleep...?). I'm still trying to make sense of it.

Trickle

Another thing I find troublesome (or in this case, extra troublesome) doing when the water supply is so unstable is... cooking. While it is still possible to cook something decent, the dishes etc afterwards though... Look. I hate doing the dishes so my method to overcome that is either wash whenever you can or make it a game (wash three items every time I go to the kitchen). The water condition after last 19 February has became more worse than before - I don't know, maybe they lower the pressure more or something... because the water (kitchen part) that comes out the faucet is a trickle of water. That much water from roughly 6-9am to around midnight??? Is this a joke?

I know I should be grateful that at least we have water but this is... uggghh... beyond frustrating...!

Try

I think... I'm in a reading slump. Maybe a mild one. Whatever I read don't make sense to me. And it's not only reading, whatever I watch, I get bored after 5 minutes. *sigh* I don't know what I want to do. For now, I'll just go with the mood... if I need to stop after 5 minutes, then I'll stop.

Ahhh it's scary~~~~~

I guess I can try reading some manga for a change...

Off

Posted in: 2023 posts | I Need to be Distracted | Interest: Games | No Mood | Our Water Woes

I think the water "returned" around the time I'm doing laundry (after 3am?)... that's pretty late. There isn't enough time for the water tank(s) to be refilled before the morning's "off" time (=low pressure start time). No water at all upstairs at this moment. It's very stress-inducing. We were cursing and badmouthing the local water department the whole afternoon.

Basically, it's a day where I don't have anything nice to say. Didn't even enjoy anything I was watching and reading today.

...haaaah I feel like drowning myself into playing games to distract myself :/

Still Chaotic Wednesday

Posted in: 2022 posts | I Need to be Distracted | Life: Anecdotes | Procrastination Strikes Again | Reading

Day two of being overwhelmed by stuff I should have organised earlier... *sigh*

I have no idea what to do with half of the stuff (will think what to do later)... And I was sooooo distracted. I really didn't want to deal with them so I kept doing other things instead of what I should be doing lol (I also kept wanting to play Filament...). And there's also a basket of laundry backlog (low priority) near the piano which I hope to deal with at 3-4am tomorrow *sigh*

Oh yeah... finally made progress on my remaining jar books last night. I might try to finish the "The Piano Man Project" tomorrow or the day after.

Crazy Weather

Posted in: 2022 posts | I Need to be Distracted | Life: Anecdotes | Reading | The Weather Looks...

I'm really in need for some distractions today *sigh*

Yeah.. so back in August, I mentioned about our "new" neighbour... I guess they are not moving in yet because in October, there were some renovations done there. The funny thing is now those people (the ones doing the renovations lol) are on my house's roof instead. Well, that's not really a problem now but I really want to use the bathroom now lol.. Can't really go there while they change the roof because the bathroom ceiling collapsed(it did!) years ago. Yeah... there are many problems in this house, and we keep getting new ones every week lol (Also, the TV started flickering last night so... I guess that's another problem added *bitter laugh*).

Anyway, can't concentrate on my books because of nature's call (HAHA) so I'm making this post for today while I wait. I think they are going to stop soon because it suddenly started raining heavily minutes ago (although at the moment I'm typing this it has calmed down again, such terrible weather we're having here in KK~)

Netflix Thursday

Today is a Netflix day. With my sister lol. Saw some Thai horror movies/series. The latest I saw (like less than an hour ago) featured a very annoying main character... it was soooo bad. The character was bad. The acting was bad. My eyes rolled so much today. The FF button on the remote was heavily used - I have no qualms or regrets doing it. Isn't it great that we live in this era where I can just skip scenes with sh*tty acting? (Oh yes I'm still so mad about this!) The main character doesn't deserve that ending. I hate him so much.

Also, I started going through a few of Ryan Reynolds movies on Netflix. Finished "The Hitman's Bodyguard" in the afternoon. I super looooove it! I love the Reynolds-Jackson pair, love the comedy... the banters, everything!

Currently in the middle of "The Adam Project". It's good so far.

Dramatic

Posted in: 2022 posts | I Need to be Distracted | Lazy Day Musings | No Mood

Hard to describe how I feel today. Dramatic, maybe? Like if I have a name for that feeling(s?), they will just sound fake and exaggerated.

You know that moment where you avoid thinking about something, then avoid the next thing, and next thing... until you return to the thing you avoided the first time? Something like that. I don't like going through such cycles. If I can't solve it, I want out. I will escape, even if it's only in my mind.

Arghhh
