quite fml how i’m 临时抱佛脚 memorising malaysian history and their politicians’ names and party affiliations now. and being quizzed by my dad who keeps adding in little trivia to confuse me like “khairy is abdullah badawi’s son-in-law”, and random trick questions to stump me like “what is the finance minister’s party affiliation?” (apparently zafrul is ( Read more... )

am supposed to be mugging malaysia’s convoluted politics these two days but really think about it then just feel damn tired. instead, today, i gave my plants more tlc, went “shopping” in the vicinity and accidentally came back with a $12 cupressus goldcrest (aka a little xmas tree, the only plant i ever had in hk) from the market, did a 30min ( Read more... )

one of the most fascinating things in (my otherwise very boring little) life is being awake at 3am and window watching as a heavy windy downpour begins. you can literally feel the estate stir from their sleep, see dark rooms lighting up one by one, and people in their sleeping clothes waking up groggily to close the windows and make a trip to the ( Read more... )

hello. this week's work schedule was another one of those messy ones that screwed up my sleep cycle a bit. ended up repeatedly waking from 4am in case i missed the 6am shift, then starting up at 515am to make sure all would be fine. then did one day 3pm, then got assigned to something else for the rest of the week that took me entirely off the ( Read more... )

i resolve to ignore my two pothos for at least a week. and to mostly leave the m.d. alone for the next 10 days or so until its leaves get a wee bit droopy again. showered m.d. thoroughly this evening and he immediately looked much happier. lol. i’d been terrified to water it for about two weeks cos of the previous sad incident where i lost a bunch ( Read more... )

sorry that i tend to often come here with negativity. but i can't quite let it out elsewhere or directly at others cos i have to maintain civility and all. so i just wanted to say that i really don't appreciate it when people make plans with others way in advance but think of me only last minute when they have no other options, and at 11am message ( Read more... )
