n-year journal

Posted in: 2023 posts | Weekday Musings | Youtube

Opted to use journal [only] in the title. ...and I love how it sounded like a pun XD 


Saw a Youtube short a couple days ago about the 5-year journal and I just realised it's an interesting way to write my diary/journal...? I've heard of them before but I never knew it would look that way. For some reason I just thought it's a normal diary/journal(?).

I want to try it someday... the 5-year version might be perfect for me because of the length for each day. There's also the 3-year version... I don't think I can do that now (or starting next year) because wow that would be 3 or 5 years of committing myself to writing in my diary daily. I do think it shouldn't be hard to write at least a sentence about my day but to make it a daily routine for that long? I'm scared that I'll get bored XD... of course, it's doable, with self-discipline... but I don't wanna do that now~~~ 

The first thing I should really do is getting back into the habit of writing in my diary. That can serve as practice before I attempt to do any of that...

How many is too many?

Posted in: 2023 posts | Bookmark Collection | Weekday Musings

Did some organising today. *sigh* Ah, yes... I have too many bookmarks & it's getting ridiculous...! At this point, it's a separate hobby- oh wait, I guess it falls under collecting things... and I see no stopping in the future.

I should probably edit that post to add the new ones~

Seeing them almost makes me want to start new books just so that I can use more bookmarks lol... but who says you can only use one for a book?

Thoughts from YT

Posted in: # 7th Time Loop | # Call Me By Fire | 2023 posts | Anime | My Do-S Side | My Fangirl Side | The Weather Looks... | Weekday Musings | Youtube

It rained today :/

7th Loop Trailer 2
Yeah... just saw the trailer just now.... why does it makes me want to reread the light novels again...???

CMBF #8
Finished watching both parts today. Ah... I love the final song ("第一次做人") that was performed by Nicky Lee, Zhang Yuan & Derek Ma. It was such an emotional performance that I also cried a bit... Also, men that shed tears are beautiful~!😊😭 A well-deserved high score!

Anyway, watching the performances before them reminded me again how hard work doesn't always give what you aim for. No guarantee you'll get what you want. Of course, that doesn't mean you should stop... and I guess it's fine if you think you deserve to get them because you worked hard for it but sometimes it just don't go smoothly.

Weekend List

Posted in: 2023 posts | Reading | Weekday Musings | Youtube

I'm feeling a bit motivated at this moment so I'm going to list out what I want to do during the weekend.
  • Finish reading "Zodiac"
  • Manage Watch Later playlist/at least until it gets under 30 videos...
  • [Finally] Make some progress on small goal...?
There's always that possibility that I might not do any of them so I won't put much hopes in the list lol (but if I get to finish one won't that be good enough already?)

Cool Pink

Posted in: 2023 posts | No Mood | Reading | Utterly Distracted | Weekday Musings

...that's the colour I want to use to dye my black hair XD

*sigh*

I never said that it's over(?) but today I realised I'm pretty much still in the middle of a [physical books] reading slump. I know the signs. I started switching between reading and skim-reading often. I understand like 70% of what I read. I couldn't focus on the words. *haaah* 

I still think 50 pages daily a manageable amount but there are days where... I don't want to do it 😬 Oh well. It will stay that many for now. If it really bothers me, I'll halve the amount of pages later...

Anyway, I might finish a book I started few days ago tomorrow so I'm back to picking another new book - according to my current mood! - which I don't look forward to. Starting a book is soooo hard. It's like getting to know a new person...

I can't read minds

Posted in: 2023 posts | Blog Meme | Interest: TV | Reading | Weekday Musings | Youtube

Saturday 9 post~!

Link to questions → Saturday 9: Mercy (2013)

1) In this song, Shawn Mendes pleads with the girl he loves to be careful with his heart. Clearly he feels she's more important to him than he is to her. Do you believe that, in every relationship, someone always loves more?
I believe it, yes. This coming from my experience with non-romantic relationships :P... I do think that it would be the same for romantic ones too. Dare I say that it shouldn't be a problem as long as you communicate your thoughts and feelings with each other? Of course, there are other factors to be considered too but mainly (to me), communication is important. 

2) He says that he'd willingly drive through the night just to be near her. Do you enjoy your time behind the wheel? Or do you consider driving necessary but not necessarily pleasurable?
I enjoy driving. I love listening to music while I drive. Although for now, I might need some time to get back to driving since I didn't drive much during the peak of the pandemic. Kind of afraid to return to the roads after so long...
 
3) He acknowledges that she has good intentions, but she hurt him anyway. Can you think of a time when you unintentionally hurt someone's feelings?
There might be some moments that I don't know about... but for ones that I do know, it happened in Secondary School. I think it was because I made a nonchalant (to me it was that way) comment and it hurt one of my friends' feeling. I don't remember how I know and how it was dealt though. I was still friends with her after that too so I want to believe it didn't ruin our friendship (at that time). 

Unfortunately, I do have a tendency of making nonchalant, throwaway remarks at times... especially when I'm trying to hide my real thoughts and feelings. I also experienced making such remarks not aimed to anyone, and someone who I'm indifferent to was offended by it because he thought it was about him. I'm offended that he would think I'll give any thoughts about him at all! *calms self*... anyway, I try not to make nonchalant remarks that often anymore unless I meant for them to be heard. Honestly though, it's hard to know what will trigger someone so I rather have them speak out if they're uncomfortable with what I said so that I can adjust appropriately. I can't read minds, you know? 

4) Shawn Mendes was a serious skateboarder during his high school years. Crazy Sam admits she's never even been on a skateboard. How about you? Are you more like Shawn or Sam, or are you somewhere in between? 
I'm with Sam on this one. Never been on a skateboard. No plans to get on one in the future :P

5) While in his teens, he taught himself to play guitar while watching YouTube videos. Do you spend a lot of time on YouTube? If yes, what type of videos do you watch most often?
Oooh I spend a lot of time on Youtube, oh yes. I usually watch people play games (preferably horror games), anime (legally, since the channels obtained the official rights for Southeast Asia region), and reading/book youtubers.

6) When he's traveling or busy working, Shawn eats cold cereal for every meal -- breakfast, lunch and dinner. He says it's fast, tasty, and better than the fast food he'd grab otherwise. Will you be getting any meals "to go" this weekend?
Most probably will.
 
7) In 2016, the year this song was popular, Game of Thrones was TV's hottest show. Were you a fan?
I'm... not. I might watch it in the far future if I'm in the mood.
 
8) Also in 2016, a German shorthaired pointer won Best in Show at the Westminster Dog Show. Tell us about a dog who holds a special place in your heart.
The dog from the children's book "Where's Spot?" by Eric Hill. Although mine was a Malay translation one so it was called "Mana Si Bulat?" instead (Bulat literally means circle lol). I think. Childhood memories, not really reliable. I remember this particular book being read to me and me rereading several times after that. I think this was one of the few books that spark my interest in reading when I was still a child. 

9) Random question: What's the subject line of the top email in your spam folder?
I think my spam folder just got cleared/auto-deleted so it's just "Hooray, no spam here!" now haha...

Thursday...13?

*screams* <( 13 Thoughts This Week~ )

1 // The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague 
I think this is my favourite anime for this season. It's so cosy and chill XD

2 // Bofuri Season 2
I'm still watching this anime but... I find it tiring recently. I pretty much put it on 2x speed on Youtube. Surprisingly, it's not as bad as "Talentless Nana" & "So I'm a Spider, So What?"... I just don't think the theme is interesting anymore, it's pretty much predictable at this point.

3 // Hogwarts Legacy
Amazingly, since I don't follow the book series/fandom related to it, I find this game interesting...? Currently, I'm watching two playthroughs on Youtube... the gameplay looks fun so far.

4 // Monitor Stand
Last week, I finally use the monitor stand for the not-so-new-anymore monitor (got one under RM20 on Shopee lol). I think this will help lessen the neck pain thing I've been experiencing few weeks ago. I haven't tried playing Mass Effect multiplayer since then though... XD

5 // Mass Effect Weekend
Speaking of the game, I've been thinking... maybe I should make a weekly blog post of my Mass Effect playthrough? Just thought it might help with getting me continue my ME2 insanity playthrough...

6 // Organised Drawers
Did some organising for drawers in the kitchen today. It's actually nice to see organised. Maybe I do like that kind of thing. I just don't do it often because I don't like seeing they get disorganised again later. What's the point?

7 // "What's the point of cleaning if it just gets messy again?"
I kind of have this phrase stuck in my head whenever I'm unmotivated to clean up stuff but... it is, sometimes, important. If everything is in order, I don't lose things... and my things don't fall and break on the floor.

8 // Reading
It has been slow reading for me again lately. Sometimes it's not because I'm unmotivated... it's hard to read when you feel itchy or have blurry visions.

9 // Brave New World
I've been recalling this one song performed on "Call Me by Fire" (S2) recently... fortunately I remembered vaguely which song it was. Almost thought I would go to sleep with no answers XD


10 // Tumblr followers
I've been getting "new" followers on Tumblr recently... pretty sure most, if not all, of them are spam accounts. Don't really get why it's happening now. I mean, I kind of get it, but still don't get it at the same time.

11 // Distracted
Nothing new here but I feel like I get/got distracted more these past few days. It was pretty bad when I was window-shopping on Shopee :P

12 // Dead Space Remake
It's funny how I can't watch any playthroughs for this because... I'm actually in the middle of playing the original version. Me, playing a horror game??? XD 

It's like the ultimate test for me who has gotten used to horror stuff :P

Anyway, progress has been slow so I guess I won't be watching any playthroughs for at least a decade haha

13 // Early
I wonder if I can wake up very early again after so many days not doing so XD

Let's see how I do tomorrow~
