Dear diary,
I suppose writing a diary does help with a few things like, reorganizing my thoughts, give me a chance to analyze my thought processes, not to mention it's kinda fun to look back to after a period of time. Oh, it also helps with expressing my emotions, yanoe.
Today's mood was rather emotional, but it's okay now. I wasn't as productive as I could've been or wanted.
My mother woke up with chronic headache and vomited, which I worry about, but apparently she just needed sleep, after all, she's getting older and can no longer sleep late without consequences. But still, this headache vomiting thingy is a sign that she is stepping into another stage of life, if you know what I mean, it might be insignificant now, but it is a sign that she is getting older, and her health and rate of self recovery is deteriorating... her memory isn't so good either, it's true that all these can be fixed by sufficient sleep, paired with correct sleep schedule, which she is doing now (Although she should've done it sooner). Her mentioning that she needs a few years break worry me (she runs her own business), she said that she is sick now and would need time to recover, that is worrying, she also mentioned that this never happened before, which is extra worrying. Hopefully she can keep up with her sleep schedule and everything be hunky dory.
The more I think about it, the more I feel there is nothing to worry about I suppose, as I'm writing this, she's snoring happily upstairs (she snores real loud), and it's not even 12 o'clock, which means she needs to sleep before 12. Also the sleep book I read did said something about the more sleep you get, the more bodily repair you receive, insufficient sleep will speed up the ageing process, it's like buying extra time for the day and using your life expectancy to pay.
Anyways, since she was non-functional this morning, I took over the house-wife tasks for today, specifically speaking, cooking. The three-layered-pork turned out fine, although it took me till dinner time to muster up the courage to eat my own cooking, I was scared that it'll be too tough since the instruction my mom gave me was too simple to believe, apparently cooking three layered pork really is that simple. Just throw in some water, some soy sauce and sugar, throw in the pork, let it simmer, take it out, let the remaining heat cook it for awhile and wallah, it's done.
The veggie dish, however is an abomination.
It might just be the quality of the raw material, lady's finger too old or something, but the skin is real tough and fibrous, there are some parts which is bitter too, no clue why, but I gulped down my mistakes and admitted it. Have to spit out some parts.
Also made some mango puree thingy. Taste great, though don't drink it too quickly or you'll feel sick.
Somersby Apple Cider is darn delicious... Would probably buy more in the next grocery shopping day.
The rest of the day was spent sleeping, helping mom open the shop door, washing dishes yadayada, doing some physical exercises and was basically unproductive. Actually my holidays mostly consist of helping my parents out, if not napping, vacuuming the whole house, dishes, laundry, mundane stuff.
Anyways, felt like eating tea break stuff so I put on a ridiculously unhealthy amount of margarine to ma crackers. It's delicious though. Paired with some green tea since it's been a while since I drank any tea.
Alright, let's talk about my relationship, everything is good now, however earlier this day I was rather unhappy because it takes him way too long to reply, like 23 hours? Ridiculous. In my head I was like, no matter how occupied you are with your family you should be able to at least squeeze out some time right? So the thought sort of manifested and I felt pretty sad and neglected. I told him about it yesterday and he did try to increase the frequency of his messages, but then today it was total silence, which infuriated me. But then halfway through my jogging session he called and I expressed my dissatisfaction with an efficient one syllable sound: "Hmph". And he explained what happened like how he was never alone these whole time and the family was a hundred percent occupying his time and stuff, which when I think about it, sort of make sense, because when I was with his family that happened as well, it's insanely tiring they always have something to talk about or do, keeps you fully engaged, not really used to it I suppose. Of course the explanation was paired with a sincere apology, so that worked. The reason he can call now is because his sister is in the toilet and stuff like that, and he mentioned how weird my family is, because when I go jogging with my father, we take separate routes, for his family that is really weird, why not just go together??? Was his question, he cannot understand why we would do that. But it makes sense, my dad's route is boring and repetitive and it has a high chance of encountering random people, it's also on uneven terrain, where the ground is slightly elevated, while I like my route random, flat, and interesting. So there's that.
Oh I found an ant's nest on top of a tree, interesting stuff. Tyro phobic much though. Also, also, don't run after meals, common sense right? I mean I didn't get appendix or any pains, but you don't perform well, I get tired way too easy cause body's competing blood for digestion and for running as well, at least, that's my theory.
I watched a couple of movies while at home. THOR RAGNAROK WAS SO SO GOOD. Now I'm hyped for Infinity Wars, haven't watch it yet. Definitely gonna watch it. I thought it's just hyped due to the crossover, but after some spoilers seen in the internet, and after watching Thor Ragnarok, I'm officially hyped. The flashback scene where Hela vs Valkyrie was so legendary, the visuals, the sounds effects, the context, it was so so good. So amazing. Congratz whoever illustrated that scene. I think I might go on a Marvel movie marathon. Might just do that tomorrow. Since most of my stuff is done :). The assignment is voluntary, but you get a certificate from Alibaba and also appreciation letter from the company plus some extra curricular points, so you know why not put in effort for a few hours for all these rewards? Make ma bare lil' resume look better. Though it was pretty confusing but in the end I was like, argh whatever, taps away. The planning and booking for the KL trip was more or less completed too, so, I suppose, that's an achievement.
In contrast to Thor Ragnarok, you know what's bad, live action Full Metal Alchemist, boy was I mad. It's worse than Death Note(live action one of course), even I can sort of enjoy Death Note, but this... this is really much worse. I knew it was bad, since I watched a few seconds of it previously, it was so cringe, the child actor was bad, the make up design was bad, their wigs really looked like plastic wigs. But then, you know, give them another chance, it was pure horribleness, I skipped a couple of parts, hoping to get to some point good. But nah, it looked so cheap, so so cheap, but expensive at the same time. Yanoe waddai mean?Like the people working on it did put a lot of effort, but for some reason, it's just so bad. I don't even know how to describe it, but there's a YouTube video which took all the words out of my mouth and more. The YouTube video bashing it made me feel better though, I agreed to all of its statement.
Okay. Whatever, life goes on though I'm greatly disappointed, since the trailer looked pretty good.
Right, moving on, the henna on my thighs are still going pretty strong, some parts of it is fading though, my order of three more henna cones have yet to arrive, understandable.
I watched lots of Beyonce stuff last night, ALL THE SINGLE LADIES! All the single ladies. Felt pretty sassy and euphoric in the middle of the night where I watched some of her hit music videos with sassy dance moves. I didn't know the aptitude you need to have to execute that dance until I've seen other people's choreography of it, which was nowhere are good as the original one. Which got me hooked to her other dances such as "Who run the world" and such. She's pretty talented that I must say, she can dance on high heels AND sing really well at the same time, and she's from Houston Texas too! Same with my other favorite actor, Jim Parsons.
Also, felt a sudden urge to play some Avicii songs on the piano. I played The Nights just now, and just got in the mood, maybe I'll practice and record a video of it tomorrow, which is unlikely, since I am known to back down on things I've told myself I would do.
Yesterday was mother's day, so my family and I went to this restaurant in Gurney, really expensive, but it was really delicious! And the noddle bowls were reasonably priced, so's their desserts. Man I love their desserts.

| Taste pretty good, albeit less saltier than intended, but lets chalk that up as a health conscious choice |

Yesterday was mother's day, so my family and I went to this restaurant in Gurney, really expensive, but it was really delicious! And the noddle bowls were reasonably priced, so's their desserts. Man I love their desserts.
 |
| Soup thingy with crabs and other unknown things inside, tastes really good, fragrant, umami much, love it, not a usual fan of Chinese soup, but this one takes the cake. |
 |
| You know fishes have a pouch for air to fill it up and float, this is a soup made from that organ. Tastes alright, delicious, but previous soup was better, though my father favored this one. |
 |
| Fried with Chinese wine, the chicken was juicy and everything is really fragrant, kinda spicy, overall much awesome. Lots of taste in your mouth, not just pure saltiness with only hints of flavor like some Chinese restaurants. |
 |
| It's a veggie dish sooo... not exactly my favorite, but hey, they made broccoli taste good so, no complaints, also cooked with Chinese wine...I think. |
 |
| Pork slices, nothing special since mom can do better. |
 |
| Close up of the pork |
 |
| The aftermath |
 |
| Barley and tofu thingy dessert |
 |
| Matcha ice shave dessert. Man it was delicious, it's served with sweetened round glutinous ball, red beans and crushed cookies. This is really really good, it's not really sweet like most desserts too. Reasonably priced too for the portion it gives, RM10.50 if I remember correctly. |
 |
| As you can see, the texture is different from other normal shaved ice such as ice kacang and the likes, this one is sort of "fold-able", and the feeling it gives on your tongue makes you feel like a whole sheet of it is there, but it's not, but the cold feeling and flavor covers an area of your tongue, since the ice melts almost immediately when it touches your tongue. There was another shop that sells this kind of dessert, I've eaten their durian flavored one, which was heavenly, but that shop closed down God knows why, since business flourished insanely well, seats are always full. When that shop(and its other chain shops) closed down, I've never eaten this type of ice until now. |
 |
| Yes, the kitty. My mom had to buy it, she was exclaiming how cute it is (There was a bunch of similarly shaped plush animals on sale, which took her time to decide which animal to take home), and what a great deal since it's on discount as well, slightly hinting one of us to buy it for her I think? I dunno, but we didn't. My dad call it the dust collector, I agree with the purchase though, it's super comfy. |
