i MUST NOT buy anything else online for the rest of the month. unless it’s absolutely necessary. grab rides and food are okay. must start being more conscientious about not spending needlessly from next month. just because i’m not travelling anymore doesn’t mean i should spend it all online!!! argh.

had a very eventful day. first, hours before my shift was due to start, i decided to repot my monstera after some digging around the night before uncovered the remnants of an old stem that had turned entirely black and mushy, suggesting root rot. decided to do this in the common toilet (instead of the wet kitchen area), as it has the open space and ( Read more... )

really love this channel's moving-static visuals and background sounds complementing its music. the first half of sunday late afternoon shifts are always so enjoyably idle.

another channel i love for its mildly animated visuals and white noise. it's greedy of me to feel this way, but these always make me wish i were somebody else, living some ( Read more... )

lately i've been watching vincenzo on netflix. song joong-ki's face is so smooth. the baddie also quite cute cos he's tall, the way i like 'em. the female lead is so ah siao it's a bit lame and hard to feel anything for the "romance" parts of the show. overall not as captivating as korean odyssey for me tho, maybe cos vincenzo has no magic powers ( Read more... )

yesterday we went night safari. took the tram twice, did all the trails, and saw many animals. but had to miss the creatures of the night show because all the slots were fully booked far ahead of time, so annoying. even more annoying were the screaming kids with their flashlights and epilepsy-inducing flashing shoes. after i reached home, i felt ( Read more... )

just watched on netflix, six years late, a very moving local documentary - 我们唱着的歌 the songs we sang. i actually started the show only to have something playing in the background as i surfed the net, but then ended up so drawn to it as the programme progressed that i totally set aside my phone and sat through the whole two hours.( Read more... )
