First Random Post in Ages

Hi all!!

I haven't written for such a long time!! It's just I kinda lost the urge to write and I just started getting into this whole Chinese web novel hehehe... Therefore my writing time a.k.a travelling time is spent reading those novels hohoho XD

I think lately, girls are hooked up on web novels. Even though it's annoying as chapters get released only once every few days, or even once a fortnight! But we can read it anytime! Including during our toilet break hahahaha xD the one I'm currently reading is The Concubine's Daughter is Poisonous (which had been made into Princess Wei Yang drama series in 2016. I finished the series when I was sick at home for few days), Princess Medical Doctor (this is not that great, but still entertaining), and Rebirth of Malicious Empress from Military Lineage. I read Genius Doctor: Black Bellied Princess or something, but dropped it in the end. Out of those, Concubine's Daughter and Malicious Empress are my favourite. Storyline, probably Malicious Empress is more entertaining, and more cruel, but in terms of translation and writing style, Concubine's daughter if way more elegant.

Plus, I have more data allowance now, so I can listen to some language learning podcasts too :D and watch YouTube sometimes. See? I'm busy!

I read an article headline the other day about why parents should let their kids be bored sometimes. Then I realised, when was the last time I was bored for 5 minutes? Usually if I'm bored, within 2 seconds I'd be browsing through my mobile to find something to do. Even when I'm walking down the street, I'm restless too! The reason I started listening to podcasts was because I felt I was wasting time to walk 20 minutes without doing anything else! Is everyone the same as me?

They say, ideas come when you are bored, when you let your mind wonders. It could be the reason why I haven't been writing for ages, coz I never just sit or walk without doing anything else?

Sometimes I missed the time when everything was not on your finger tips. When we had to put a little bit of effort to do something. Now I'm so used to getting everything fast, so if my page doesn't load within 3 seconds, I close my browser and take my Kindle out! It's selfish, but I wished it's happening to everyone too.

Ah, sometimes I think superexcited might regret asking me rhetorical question 😅 one morning I was having tea in the kitchen when superexcited came in. He saw the dishwasher sponge laying in the sink and the dish washing liquid has spilled out (the sponge is the one with a handle that you can put washing liquid in). This has happened million times and I mean it literally. Everytime it happens, superexcited, Lao-er, and Pharaoh would go berserk. I have no idea why they go crazy over spilled washing liquid. It's not that it's spilling out on the floor?! It's only IN THE SINK *banging my head on the sink*

Anyway that morning was the same. Superexcited saw it and started yapping, "These people here are stupid! I've told them multiple times to put the sponge standing up! Fucking stupid! And I wasn't the first one to step into the kitchen this morning!!" In my mind, "Obviously. I was sitting here when you came in. What are you trying to say??" *eyes roll* "These people are retards! Tell me Purple Lady, what should I do?? Should I just throw this thing away???"

Guess what I said 😊 "Yeah, just throw it away. It's not good anyway. The normal sponge is better." *silence* After few seconds of silence, he continued complaining while cleaning it up 😆

Let me tell you a secret. I, moi, yours truly, actually saw that leaking sponge when I filled in the kettle. I saw it and started to put it straight up, thinking he would go crazy. But then I saw the pool of dish washing liquid and thought, if I put the sponge up, it'll be obvious someone put it up and didn't clean it. The sin would be even heavier in you-know-who's eyes. So I put the sponge back down to where it was before 😎 I wasn't the one who use it, I wasn't bothered with the leak, so why should I clean it? And my prediction was 100% right 😄
