Here's My Story

Woot! Third leaf! Like the post on the second leaf , it's all grown up now hehehe.

Few months ago, my adapter finally died. Ok, to be exact, the wire died. The part where it was connected to the adapter was exposed like years ago (?) and was duct-taped. Yes, that band-aid worked for years. When I ordered a new adapter, the old one was still working but needed to be placed oddly e.g. against a chair's leg and the connecting part was pressed on with books, and the position had to be changed occassionally. The problem was that it was a little difficult, for a non-tech person, to ascertain the correct adapater online. Also, many of them were shipped from overseas and the shipping time was aggravated by MCO too. So, to my pleasant surprise, instead of the stated minimum 30-day shipping time, I got this:

  Normally, for ABC soup, I'll make tbe broth the night before and cook the soup in the afternoon. It'll be heated up shortly before dinner. Ban doesn't like piping hot soup. I'll cook some lightly marinated chicken pieces in it, if I don't cook a separate meat dish. This time, I tried prawns instead. However, I made the mistake of cooking the prawn in it in the afternoon: by the time I reheated it before dinner, the prawns were a little too dry 😞 I should had cooked them during the reheating process.   I made the broth the lazy way on the day of cooking the soup itself: fish sauce, salt and sliced onion. Then later I added the enoki mushroom, tofu and finally the prawns. Later, I realised that I should had peeled the prawn and used its shell and heads to make the broth. Nevertheless, this was surprisingly delicious.   One of my favourites: samon don with egg (there were strips of seaweed underneath) and a bowl of coral lettuce with cashew nuts and sauce made up of...

 ...to evade humans? It's amazing! Well, high time they do that. Read this article . Photos taken from the article:  Can you spot the plant? I couldn't until I saw the photo of how it used to look like:   Can you now spot it in the first photo? " But just as many animals have evolved camouflage to better evade predators, human harvesting behaviors have spurred many Fritillaria plants to shift from loud greens to the muted grays and browns of the rocks they grow between, the researchers report in a study published this week in the journal Current Biology . The researchers also found that this effect is especially pronounced in areas where the plants are most heavily pursued by people looking to pluck them, reports Patrick Barkham for the Guardian.

During a phone call with my mum... Mum: I have goat's milk for breakfast Me: Ok, so how much is the goat? Mum: It's RM 33 for each tin of goat's milk Me: No, mum. How much is the goat? Then you can get the milk from it Mum: *laughs* I'm also a goat Me: *laughs* I'm sorry to tell you mum: you're not going to produce any more milk  Ban looked at me strangely and then covered his ears. 😂

 

 

As a follow-up to victories on Ascension 2 , I finally completed them on Ascension 3. For completeness, here's what added at each Ascension level (effects are cumulative): 1. Elites spawn more often. 2. Normal enemies are deadlier. 3. Elites are deadlier. The order of which I won was Watcher, Silent, Ironclad and (once again) Defect. Defect is truly defective haha. Took me gazillion times. Here are the gameplays vs the Heart:

Recently, towards the end of my dream, my dad was there. He was dressed in a maroon coloured t-shirt, that looked like mine. He told me that a person just taught him something. Me: What's the use? You're dead. Dad: He taught me to listen more when people talk. Like really listen to what they say. Me: Will you come for Chinese New Year? Dad: Yes, I will. I held his hand, started crying. Me: It's not fair you suffered so much.   He patted my head.   Dad: Good boy.   😭 Woke up, told Ban about it while crying again 😭

I had planned to cook a dish of HK spinach and a dish of five spice chicken with onion, garlic and ginger. Marinated the chicken the night before with a little soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oil and cornflour. However, on the day of cooking, I realised that there was too much onion and, apparently, it's not advisable to keep chopped onion. At the same time, I was a little concerned that the chicken may not be enough for both Ban and I. Hence, probably for the first time ever, I cooked a third dish: egg with onion. In the end, it turned out that the chicken was enough and so we had some leftover haha. All were yummy! Hehehe
