Here are some life(?)... updates.

Lol... more like book updates, maybe?

Interestingly, I can categorise them by month:

BOOK_AUG
Yeah... I managed to get on (visit? board?) the Doulos Hope when it's in town. Had to make reservation online. Kind of fortunate that I was able to do that the night before for August 29th's... Amazingly, I only purchased one book which is another hardcover version of Jane Eyre. When will I ever read "Jane Eyre" and "Emma"? It has been 4 years XD.. what's funny is, at the moment I'm typing this post I'm considering reading them on my Kindle (because I can highlight them there and revisit them in one place on Goodreads). Well, it might be possible to do hybrid reading...

Anyway, I remember the date because when we returned to Jesselton Quay (we rode on a bus to go to the port where they docked), we saw a lorry on fire.

BOOKS_SEPT
Received these books on September 26th... and I remember the date again because it's the day for Wuthering Waves 2.7 preview livestream XD

2/3 of the books are non-fiction ---this coming from me, who generally isn't a fan of non-fiction books? Except when it's about stuff I'm interested in, of course :D
  • A Brief History of Poisons - Lol it's so funny that you can only see "Poisons" from the spine :P
  • The Jane Austen Writers' Club - Because... Jane Austen is in the title.
  • The Andromeda Evolution - It's a sequel to "The Andromeda Strain" that is written by another author... which I might need to reread if I want to read this.

BOOKS_OCT
It's on its way. Will update later. Updated on Oct 4th!

  • The Tokyo Zodiac Murders - Time for a reread?
  • Last Boss Queen LN #9 - Lol just realised that I didn't add the LBQ label to two posts that mentioned it XD

Mini WuWa Talk
Anyway, got Ciaccona's signature weapon... but at what cost?

75th. Yeah, I was so surprised that it's the 75th pull, I forgot to screenshot the convene result lol. 

I'll include this shot of the weapon still at Level 1 with Ciaccona instead :P


Very red number

She was actually fine with Static Mist (for Cartethyia team) but I just feel like I'm not using her full potential or something. Well, part of that is probably because of her echoes (as usual *sigh*)... but, oh well. Anyway... I'm so going to make a team with Jiyan or Aalto... Especially Aalto. I haven't made any progress with my Aalto DPS built...

Let me kind of throw this here: I've been playing Punishing: Gray Raven (PGR) on the side (an earlier game made by Kuro Games, who also made WuWa) and I suspect my WuWa luck probably went there (lol) because I got Bianca Crepuscule's exclusive weapon and CUB so early recently. Where was this luck during the DMC colab patch lol 

Now I'm kind of scared for the future (saw 2.7 Preview Livestream and... I really want Qiuyuan!)    

Anyway, PGR has been an overwhelming experience so I'm just taking it in slowly. Like, very slowly. I don't even care that I'm bad at the combat (I'm a true button-smasher here XD), I decided to focus on doing the story more... and just build anyone as I like. The mini games has been fun :P... that's where I shine the most haha

Lol didn't expect to make a debut for PGR label in this post... though I don't see myself posting about it as much as WuWa in the future because I'm very on-off with the game...

Gone

Posted in: 2023 posts | Kindle | Life: Anecdotes | Online Shopping | Reading

Gah~ I ended up using the RM20 in my PayPal account to pay for Bookxcess' shipping! Can't help it... one of the books has only one copy left *sigh*

Speaking of PayPal.. maybe it's a good idea to keep RM20 there so that I can use on Bookxcess when needed. I'm aware that it's basically the same thing but it might hurt less (psychologically lol) when I don't have to think about the RM20 shipping in the future.  

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

Just finished reading my first Seishi Yokomizo book (finally!). I started on book four lol since that's what I can get for cheap under RM20 on Amazon Kindle few months ago. Didn't really ruin the experience though... they did mention the Honjin case but nothing's spoiled (I think). Anyway, I'm [surprisingly] very mad about the motives so when I predicted the plot twist and it turned true, that gave me comfort(?)... still mad though.   

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰

...and it happened! Again.. Still having a stuffy nose but as of today, I've lost my sense of smell. I did notice how I was less sensitive to certain smell yesterday - I can still smell strong ones but the weaker ones were barely there - so I guess it was already partially gone yesterday?
