so i tried doing work today and i started feeling a little weird about 1 hour into working. my heart started pounding i could feel it in my ears and i needed to breathe heavily and i was struck with a sense of dread and something told me "i need to get the fuck outta this place", i was at the library by the way so tried calming down and packed my stuff and came back. and fuck of all times it had to be windy and freezing during the time i left. i thought it'd be over the moment i got back but the feeling didn't go away. i googled the symptoms and i was expecting like a heart attack or something (nah jk) but it was a mild anxiety attack. causes? many causes and apparently stress is one but i'm not sure if it was due to stress. maybe because too many things was running through my mind (philosophical question: where does the mind reside?).
that was something to remember. anyway, before i went to the library, i cashed in some coins at the bank and i had £16.12 in coins! that's something to blog about. then i collected my books (more books yay!) from waterstones, that was £12 gone. at least i got £4 which i used to buy lunch because i forgot to make it before i got out.
i came back after the anxiety attack. i made herbal corn and chicken soup for dinner which was nice. there were like black kernels on the corn is it safe to eat?? i ate around it anyway. i've got extra for tomorrow which is good because it will be a long long day.
i honestly can't stop coughing today. something's stuck in my throat and whenever i start coughing it feels like my lungs are about to come out. as though me coming out wasn't enough (ba-dum-tss, is this how you use it?). i got a little bit of my voice back but i can't sing properly yet. i hope this wouldn't affect my muay thai performance tomorrow.
I'M RUNNING OUT OF MILO NOOOOOOOO i have only 1 sachet left i will get more tomorrow from the asian market. i hope the low sugar ones won't affect the taste too much because it's the taste of home to me although the water in england sorta messed that up for me :( i'll wake up at 6am tomorrow to work on my draft. ugh.

picture-heavy breezy quayside market!
so today i went to the quayside market with a friend as planned. it was very windy but thankfully not very cold. the crowd wasn't as busy as i'd expected it to be and it isn't a bad thing. it's called the quayside market because it's located by the river that divides newcastle and gateshead. this river is famous for its seven bridges and one of the most famous one is the millenium bridge.
i had pad thai from this stall and it's actually pretty tasty. i'd go back if i were craving for more pad thai. the market had a bunch of food vendors and it was tough picking which to go for. i wonder where the prince of pies went? their pies were great though a little pricey. i guess that's the price to pay for getting pies from a prince. i dare you to repeat that 5 times faster LOL.
after we're done with the market, my friend asked me if i've ever visited the baltic, which was just on the other end of the millenium bridge. i told her i haven't so we made a trip to the art center. i didn't finish up my pad thai yet at that point, so i put it in my friend's bag just in case the gallery didn't allow outside food.
the place had some exhibitions on, pretty interesting stuff although i'm not one who knows how to appreciate and read into contemporary art hahaha. one exhibition specifically mentioned something about adult content, being the adults that we are, of course we had a look.
well i'm no longer on prozac LOL the theme of this exhibition was pretty bdsm-ish, there was even a strap-on displayed. i didn't have much idea about what message the artist was trying to convey though, because i'm not a very artistic person. we also went to the viewing deck on the 4th floor for a view of the city.
that isn't the millenium bridge LOL the bridge was behind this camera but i wanted to take a photo of the river. how i've missed this place.

satisfy me on the table. LOL
there was a peeping hole and this was what came up. bad phone camera angle.

"Baltic Flour Mills", it said. i have no idea if it was a flour mill in history.
beautiful sky and river with english-y buildings.
that's the millenium bridge! if you looked closer, the market is just down the street on the other side of the bridge. the bridge changes color at night and it raises to give way to boats and ships. pretty cool stuff.
we left the art gallery and i asked my friend for my pad thai. the pad thai went everywhere and she said the chicken was all over her purse. and she's vegetarian LOL i'm so sorry. tea's on me next time. i still finished the remaining pad thai anyway then we parted ways. my throat was feeling a little itchy and stuff so i got into the nearest starbucks and got myself a hot cup of jasmine tea.
not sure how significant this photo is but i just wanted to post it up anyway. so jasmine tea has throat ache soothing qualities. great choice mez, great choice. i really can't wait to fully recover and start singing again. at least i got a little bit of my voice back thank the imaginary heavens!
i came back and didn't do much. i cleaned my room as usual and made dinner. wanted to do work at 9pm but i ended playing games until it's 11pm LOL there will be no lecture tomorrow because of timetable adjustments so i PROMISE i'll go to the library after i'm done with cashing in my coins. now the ultimate question is: do i make lunch or do i eat out? do i have the money to eat out? do i have the throat to eat anything from out??? only time will tell....

sick!
i didn't get to blog yesterday because I fell sick. In fact I'm still sick. Two days ago I was up wrapping my books until 3am and didn't go to bed till it's about 6am so I woke up the next day feeling like crap. I got a sore throat, heavy head, aching body, and I lost my voice. A tragedy I must say. It was so bad that I went to bed around 7pm yesterday and I didn't manage to get anything done. I couldn't even speak or think or even stand up for long. But I feel slightly better now. I hope I'll feel much better tomorrow.
I asked a friend to help me buy some canned soup and croissant and cough syrup. She said I didn't have to pay her back awww how generous. So I made her a simple and quick egg noodle lunch. She thought it was tasty LOL really? It was just a simple vegetable soup noodle.
Anyway, Amazon sent me an notification saying that my item was ready to collect but when I checked my mailbox nothing was there? So I hit them up via the live chat service and they told me that it was a mistake and it will be scheduled for delivery on Monday as planned. They offered a refund for the mistake and I took it because I'm a poor student although they really didn't have because it was just a mixup LOL. Thanks Amazon! You're the best.
After I did my laundry, I actually got my ass to the library and got a little bit of work done. I'm 800 words in and it's just about 3200 more to go. Due in 3 days well fuck. I suppose handwriting the draft prior to typing it up helps. Now I just need to write up the remaining of the stuff and continue typing them up. It's doable if I get well soon enough. Pray for me.
Tomorrow I'll be heading to the quayside market!!! It's been too long. I miss the crowd and the food and the vibe of the market. I also miss the river and the breeze. Oh and march4women is on next Sunday! I'll visit the borough market on Saturday after I checked in the Airbnb hehe. I really can't wait to try out all the exotic burgers LOL crocodile burger or something like that.
Anyway I think I'm about to pass out. I feel super lethargic because of this illness. Is it a cold? I dunno. I can't wait to recover soon because it sucks not being able to sing :(

i got scammed...??
i think i've had soooo many tangerines i'm starting to cough LOL. my throat feels so damn itchy i don't even know if i should cough or not cough. i felt slightly shitty today but i told myself to remain as neutral as possible. well i tried.
anyway today i went out to get dinner before library session at 7pm. so i left around 445pm, went to collect a couple of books from waterstones. they were "the plague" and "the myth of sisyphus" by albert camus, a french philosopher and author.
"the plague" explores the nature of destiny and human condition (copied off wikipedia LOL), while "the myth of sisyphus" explores suicide as a philosophical question. i can't wait to read these books to find out more about camus's philosophical views. his view on the meaning of life was "the literal meaning of life is whatever you're doing that prevents you from killing yourself.", which i agree very much on hahaha! dark shit there. i also can't wait to wrap my books with this new roll of NON-ADHESIVE wrapping plastic i bought.
then i visited cex to look at second hand vita consoles. and yes, i bought a second hand vita console!
it wasn't on purpose but it's psvita's birthday today! so i guess i don't feel too bad about getting an extra console for my US account since it's such a hassle to switch accounts with one vita. i've always wanted to get another one anyway. now i can play with myself (LOL! not like that). that means i get to play with games available in the US store that aren't in the malaysian store.
while i was on my way to the library, a lady from the streets asked me if i had cash. i said no i've got no cash on me. but she said can you spare me some? there's an atm just right there, i just need a couple of quid to go (somewhere, couldn't remember), i've got no place to go tonight, my partner just kicked me out, i just need like (a small amount of money), can you go get a tenner and i'll give you 8.50 back in coins (that means i only give her 1.50 right?), and she's got like a bunch of coins in the hands. for some reason i felt pressured so i actually went a withdrew £10 and passed it to her, she gave me 2.50 in return and said i needed 7.50 right, so 2.50's right yeah? and i was like uhhh.. and she said yeah i said i needed 7.50, thanks pet, and she walked off?? and i was like what the fuck? but then i didn't chase after her or anything because i was simply confused. so yeah, that's how i lost £7.50 through a scam. fuck i could've just pretended that i didn't know english? 7.50 could've gotten me a nice meal or pay for half the mount of a 8gb vita memory card?? ugh i felt so shitty. i just hope she took the money to actually go somewhere instead of spending it on drugs. UGHHHH
oh well. then i had dinner and went to the library to get some work done. i've got a little bit written down and i'll do more tomorrow. now i'm gonna suck on a strepsil and wrap my books!

dead.
whoa i made it to muay thai today!! it was my very first non-beginner muay thai class and i'm glad i decided to do it! we did loads of clinching and WHOA the moves were so cool they're pretty much the reason i'm doing muay thai. all the flipping and grappling and shit.
anyway i slept before 12am yesterday and i officially woke up at 1130am then i slept again and woke up at 2/230pm. had my first and last proper meal of the day around 330pm then all i did was sit around until it's time to go to muay thai.
i feel pretty dead now because i did muay thai 2 days in a row but i shall take the time to read some books although i have a draft to complete in 7 days but i'll be visiting the library tomorrow and the day after so i'll do that by then.
oh yeah i drank a pint of full fat milk after muay thai today and i honestly never felt better LOL but i might wait another week before i have milk again.
ehhh short post happy eyes!

shit.
today was a plain day. i was very tired because of my shitty sleep quality. i managed to go to the damn 9am lecture AND the seminar at 3pm AND the seminar at 4pm. that's a whole week without missing anything. AND i also went to muay thai when i thought that i'd be too tired to go but i did. i'm proud of myself.
right. this morning, i saw something on my bathroom mat, i thought it was a piece of chipped wood or something so i tried kicking it out of the mat; i got curious what it was, it was early in the morning and the sun wasn't shining into my room so i turned on the lights and had a closer look. W.T.F it was a worm!! i don't even know what it is, it looked like a damn worm. it was brown and wriggly and it was still MOVING!!!! so i panicked and contemplated not to go to class (best excuse) but i toughened up and pulled out a tissue to grab it. but the closer i got to the thing i JUST couldn't imagine holding that squishy-wriggly-worm-looking thing in between my fingers so i decided against it. while i was squirming around, i turned and had a look at where it was, IT FUCKING DISAPPEARED LIKE how fast did it crawl?? after i got changed i left my room, i glanced around the corridor to see if it's around because where else could it have gone?? BUT IT WASN'T THERE EITHER. i secretly hoped that it went into my flatmates room and lay babies as long as they don't come anywhere near my room LOL.
anyway, after the 9am lecture, i had breakfast at tapas revolution before going for my haircut.
i said to myself that i deserve a great breakfast for actually attending the 9am lecture because god knows what i did yesterday that made me feel like shit today. the food was great but i think they forgot to give me the mojo verde. and i dare say, they have the best aioli in town.
after breakfast i got myself a haircut and i went with the shaving-thing no.4; now i look like i have an inflated head. it usually looks nicer after i let it grow out for a week or so, like breaking in my hairstyle.
so bla bla bla i almost fell asleep in the language evolutions and origins seminar not because it was boring, it was because i was so damn sleepy. i couldn't even focus much on muay thai. definitely not feeling my very best.
i had fruits and biscuits and a cup of milo for dinner. something light so i can go to bed earlier. i have decided to sleep in and i will turn off my alarm for tomorrow. i have missed almost 2 weeks of self-paced philosophy lessons because i'm a piece of shit. but at least i try to watch philosophy videos by crash course on youtube. why this not that? because with the lessons i would actually need to write down notes and i just don't feel like it now.
i feel so dead inside and out. i don't know if i'll go to muay thai tomorrow. that depends on my sleep quality. i'll decide later.

claim your fame here!
i didn't manage to get my hair cut today. the place was full so i got a booking for tomorrow at 12pm. so do i have lunch before or after the cut???
anyway i had lunch with a couple of coursemates at a place called les petits choux. it's a cute little place with tasty-looking cakes and pastries.
i mean, look at that?????
i had the halloumi (fuck my dairy-free diet mate, i don't feel any difference at all; maybe it's because i suck at keeping at it LOL), beetroot, and roasted vegetables flatbread, apple juice, and a hazelnut something paris brest.
this paris-brest wasn't bad. i liked the cream filling but i felt bad because of the amount of dairy i had. i don't know since when i started developing guilt for having dairy, i must love my skin pretty much to feel bad but stomach comes first.
hi jess and victoria. they requested to be in this photo so here you go. by the way lucco, you won't get famous by appearing on my blog because only three people ever read the blog, that includes you and me if you're reading this post. and probably google's page-tracking beacon whatever you call it. or jess. it could be jess. or it could be a creeper. watch out for the next few days. and favorite apple juice.
doesn't this photo look touristy. and i was the one who took the photo when i should be the damn tourist. i'm the asian one ffs. thumbs up 👍 to them. oh yeah, don't be surprised with all the sexual innuendos i made because that's just who i am in REAL life (don't believe, ask my friends), not so much in the fake life because i act like i'm civilized there.
we passed by this area on our way back to uni, it really reminded me of england. not that i'm from england but this place screams england to me.
a bent road lined with repetitive bricky houses and two english people in furry jackets? how much more english can it be??
we somehow managed to survive the 2-hour language and meaning lecture although i didn't pay attention 80% of the time because my head was tensing up so bad and mostly because i was very distracted by whatsapp.
well then i came back from class and i received a figure that i ordered last december LOL like finally.
isn't this cute as fuck?? it was about £11 so it's super worth it. i hope they make more winnie the pooh merchandise so i can get them all.
ugh it's gonna be a long long day tomorrow. 9am lecture, 12pm haircut, 3-4,4-5pm seminar then muay thai at 6pm. i also plan to go to muay thai on wednesday, hopefully i don't bail. i'm gonna go to bed earlier tonight and i can't wait to chop some of my hair off tomorrow. bye williams and lucco. LOL (not even sure if they actually managed to read till this far........).

jackbox!
my sleep was so fucked by my flatmate. for once i've decided to go to bed early, before 1230am. but guess what? i was woken up by a noise and the first thing i heard was my flatmate talking to someone (on the phone i assume) and laughing loudly around 330am. i could hear almost every word she said! um seriously??? that flatmate was the one i helped out when she got locked out so i didn't want to make it awkward by knocking on the wall so i endured the noise until i eventually fell back asleep. so the sleep quality was shit. felt shitty and tired today.
i made beans on toast for brunch, watched a couple of episodes of 5Ds. then i finally sent some messages in the group i abandoned because i couldn't help telling them details about an event when they don't know about something and i do LOL smartass. then it somehow ended up in a last minute skype call that lasted 4 hours long in total. i was even on my way to buy some herbs for my soup when the call was planned. the store didn't have fresh ones so i got the dried stuff; not the best substitute. some people left the call earlier to sleep or do stuff.
honestly, it's been a long time since i've skype-called any of them and that made wanna rewind time but that's impossible to do. but it made me feel a little happier; i know i haven't lost my humor. we even managed to play some jackbox games and i got reminded of our old calls that had at least 6 people. those were fun times. i hope we get to do this again. but that might require me to check in on the group and i dont know how often i'll feel like that hahahaha. nevermind.
recently i can't stop buying this:
it's relatively expensive for a box of biscuits but i love it so much. it's technically milk-free (only possible traces just in case lactose intolerant people eat them, but it's pretty much vegan-friendly) yet i imagine that it'll taste so good dunked in a cold cold glass of milk. the oaty texture gives it a very nice crunch. i approve. i'll finish up my soy milk first then i'll treat myself to a bottle of nice good quality milk.
oh and my friend who always flew kite asked me if i wanted to meet up with him in london when he comes in a couple of weeks. i was pretty hyped about it but then i thought... what if he flew kite again?? but i'll wait for his confirmation tomorrow. still need to get tickets and last minute tickets are expensive as fuck, what i'd do for a friend. though seriously, i haven't seen him in ages because he disappeared from the damn group. what a fucker.
oh and i managed to write a couple of words for the draft. it wasn't much but i assume it's past 100 words. i didn't count because it was handwritten. i'll try writing more tomorrow. and i'm getting a haircut too. really can't wait till march, it's bothering me so much.
i made beans on toast for brunch, watched a couple of episodes of 5Ds. then i finally sent some messages in the group i abandoned because i couldn't help telling them details about an event when they don't know about something and i do LOL smartass. then it somehow ended up in a last minute skype call that lasted 4 hours long in total. i was even on my way to buy some herbs for my soup when the call was planned. the store didn't have fresh ones so i got the dried stuff; not the best substitute. some people left the call earlier to sleep or do stuff.
honestly, it's been a long time since i've skype-called any of them and that made wanna rewind time but that's impossible to do. but it made me feel a little happier; i know i haven't lost my humor. we even managed to play some jackbox games and i got reminded of our old calls that had at least 6 people. those were fun times. i hope we get to do this again. but that might require me to check in on the group and i dont know how often i'll feel like that hahahaha. nevermind.
recently i can't stop buying this:
it's relatively expensive for a box of biscuits but i love it so much. it's technically milk-free (only possible traces just in case lactose intolerant people eat them, but it's pretty much vegan-friendly) yet i imagine that it'll taste so good dunked in a cold cold glass of milk. the oaty texture gives it a very nice crunch. i approve. i'll finish up my soy milk first then i'll treat myself to a bottle of nice good quality milk.

siiiiiiiiiick
i think i might be falling sick. my sleep for the past few nights was shit and it felt short. adding the fact that no matter how late i slept i'd still wake up around 930am; my sleep is very messed up. took a toll on my body today. i felt so so tired and lacked energy. i've only had milo and biscuits for breakfast; i didn't even have lunch and ordered takeaway for dinner instead of cooking. i will go to bed early tonight. that means i failed to do any work. my eyes can barely open right now.
well i did my weekly laundry, and played steins;gate to kill time. the game is pretty text-heavy so it made me feel worse but i was too curious about how the story will unfold to put it down, but i will soon because it's killing my head too. i also learnt some new stuff about time machines and random physics theories LOL
on a different note, i'm starting to feel like i wanna get myself a new laptop because it's lagging on me when i play games that have tons of elements involved or games that has good graphics. tabletop simualtor and EVERSPACE, respectively. tabletop simulator hung on me like twice this morning when i was playing with a friend and EVERSPACE just lags every time i try to make a turn. oh and i highly recommend groups of friends to get tabletop simulator. it's great to play card/board games together even when you have pals scattered everywhere around the world. hmm. i remembered that i used to have that. things somehow changed. let's see if things will recover? lol don't even go there.
felt pretty shitty today. partly because of my lack of sleep, and partly something else. i need to get a hold of myself. my stomach feels weird and i want some ice cream or a big cup of very comforting hot chocolate. but i'm getting none of that.

i feel so fucked.
quite literally right now, i'm in the uni library attempting to get shit done but here i am writing the blog post of the day. i'm supposed to be writing my draft. ugh i've got no shit done because i have 0 motivation and no drive at all to start writing anything. at least i've got most of the plan ready so all i need to do is to START writing. i gave the plan a little break down so i guess as long as i stick to it......
anyway today wasn't a day with great news. so i wasn't feeling very jolly. i ended up only playing games and shuffling around until it is time for me to come to the library where i should get work done. oh i made a nice breakfast though, i dropped the bread buttered side down and i dropped the spoon on the stove. if i picked them up within 3 seconds i wouldn't die right?
i made this because i looked at tastemade's snapchat yesterday and it was filled with oozing egg yolks. i couldn't resist so i made myself a nice portion this morning. this photo was taken after i dropped my toasts LOL.
anyway, i downloaded EVERSPACE yesterday and i suck at it so bad. the controls were difficult for me and i fail at flying spaceships. BUT the graphics are phenomenal. imagine running the game on proper gaming computers and perhaps having it on VR.
a small photo really doesn't do the game graphics justice. i'm using an older version of macbook air so it was slightly laggy and shit (my bad) but seriously, if i saw a photo of space like this when i was 7, i'd probably want to be an astronaut just to see it with my own eyes. a clearer photo here. i could've taken a screenshot at a better area but i wanted to capture the planet, the jumpgate, the rocks, and the light.
fast forward to now, 945pm. i grabbed myself a cup of chocomilk an hour ago. probably should get cow's milk soon LOL. does that mean i'll gain weight again? hmmm. alright i should highlight the sentences i plan to use from the articles in my paper. the draft is due in about 10 days and that means i'll have to write 400 words a day starting tomorrow. i hope it's doable.

all over the world???
i was just checking my recent activities for my hotmail account and wtf did i just see?????
my account was successfully automatically synced to servers around the world what the fuck is this shit?? so i changed my password and hopefully i won't get random syncs like this again.
anyway, i'm gonna show some photos of what i had for lunch yesterday. we went to the newly opened tapas revolution and it was pretty good.
don't they look gorgeous? my favorite from the list was probably the tortilla de patatas, which is the one on the bottom right. it was a stack of potatoes with the garlicky (?) mayo, probably aioli? as usual, i'm always on the venture to pursue the ultimate arroz negro (top right), but that wasn't it. the best one i've ever had was the one from salvador and amanda in london. that was the very first time i tried arroz negro and that remained the best for me. the explosion of the squid ink within every grain or rice, entangled with the springy texture of the prawns and the bounciness of the squid, all united by the creamy spanish garlic mayo, producing a perfect symphony of flavors. OH NOOOO I WANT IT NOW. my second favorite was probably..... the cod (middle right) with olives, peppers, and onions. the octopus (middle left) with potatoes and smoked paprika was very nice and chewy too but in my opinion slightly bland. the prawns (top left, duh) were good, cooked in garlic and olive oil. the aubergine dish (bottom left) was... new and refreshing. it was deep fried in batter, yet not soggy. the aubergine fingers were coated with a kind of honey-ish sauce; the aubergines were hot, crispy, and sweet.
i also ordered limonade de casera, lemonade with saffron. the drink was sweet, and it has a beautiful tint of yellow thanks to the saffron infusion.
i am a loser for lemonade and i would definitely go back for the lemonade. we really wanted to get some desserts but my friend didn't have time so we told them we will come back for more! the waitress recommended the churros with chocolate (apparently spanish people eat churros for breakfast), and i wanted the cream catalana, a spanish custard dessert. we will come back for their breakfast menu and dinner, as well.
besides, i gave an 8/10 for the atmosphere because i have a thing for decos like this:
isn't it beautiful? it was bright and sunny outside as it was around 12pm when i took these photos, but i can imagine if it's at night, the place is gonna be so lively and perhaps the dimness will give a different vibe to the place. i will go back!
enough about yesterday! today, i didn't do much LOL but i did do something. unproductive things. i made breakfast, then played games with my friend. i think we're both starting to get a little addicted to tabletop simulator because now my friend is hitting me up every time she finishes work to ask me if i wanna play games LOL and most of the time i ditch my plans just to play games. worth it.
blurry photo taken with iphone yesterday but we were playing monopoly deal. today we played the game of internet (a stupid, pointless, and funny card/board game), and an incomplete round of game of life. we have been playing it all wrong because the rules given with the game wasn't complete! so i checked online for an official rulebook and we'll play correctly next time.
after gaming, i went out to have scone and coffee with a coursemate. you know what that means? that means i ate dairy. yes.
that's clotted cream in the little dish and cow's milk in the latte. the latte was done a bit too bitter though. but the clotted cream and jam on the moist scone??? DAMMMMMN it was beautiful. it's been months since i last had it! i loved it so much i'm 80% close to giving up on dairy-free diet. i'll wait until i finish up my soy milk and see if i'll get cow's milk again. however, i'm not ruling out trying oat, rice, or cashew milk. problem is, how do i get to try them without buying a whole damn carton?
well, i'm starting my draft tomorrow. we got a study room booked 6-10pm so i hope we get to accomplish something before the day ends. i don't feel stressed out by the work piling up but my brain knows that i should worry about it HAHAHA but i'm just not very driven to do much. i didn't even touch my vita in days already although my brain wants to but my heart doesn't LOL
whew that was a long one. it feels like i've forgotten something that i wanted to share but i can't pinpoint exactly what it is. hmmm. nevermind. it's already 1210am and i'm starting to feel a little hungry. should i drink milo?

we were sat at the bar because the waitress asked "do you want to do it the spanish way?" and we were like "sure!", so we were led to the bar and we went "ooooh so this is the spanish way."

and yet again....
For the second time, ive almost forgotten to blog. I must've been pretty tired because I actually got stuff to blog about today. But guess what? I'll leave the some content for my next post when it's not 1am in the morning. Technically, I have missed blogging yesterday. So that's still a fail.
My left calf ached and still aches like hell and it giving me a weird feeling because it's only in my left calf. I feel like I can't walk properly because the ache isn't balanced out on both sides LOL it was the knee move we had to keep practicing during Muay Thai and that involved tipping your left foot then plunging forward with your right. I hope it goes away by tomorrow although it isn't a very bad kind of pain hehe.
Had lunch with a friend today at a newly opened tapas restaurant in town. I'll upload the photos tomorrow. I'm on my iPad and I don't think the uploading will be efficient enough. Then played games in tabletop simulator with another friend, it was great! This means I get to try out some board and card games before getting the physical copies; this also means that I'll have a play bud! We played pictionary, uno, monopoly deal, game of life, othello, checkers, star checkers, flipped some board games before I haven't read through the rules yet and she was talking on the phone. Ended up with some random drawing "game" of hybrid animals LOL. That was pretty productive.
Went to see pride and prejudice tonight and it was.... ok I guess. It wasn't overwhelming, or underwhelming, it's just.... is. The language was pretty deep but I suppose I caught the main plots of the story. Probably should bring a dictionary with me the next time I watch a play from that era.
Anyway I'm super beat. I need to go to bed. I'll post the photos tomorrow.

locked out LOL
happy valentine's day. nobody cares. hahaha kidding, go make babies responsibly everyone.
so today i managed to wake up for my 9am lecture (miracles do exist, amen!). i went to class, and then i walked to the market to get lunch and vegetables. i literally took half an hour to decide if i wanted fishcake and chips or something else. i was on the phone with my friend, talking about duel disk cause she'll be my crafting director HAHAHAHA she couldn't grasp the concept so she became interested in helping me build the duel disk. yay!
oh right, in the end i went for fish and chips which wasn't originally in the list. the fish and chips came with mushy peas and i ordered hot tea, as well. guess what? the person made my tea with milk in it and i also remembered that, traditionally, mushy peas have butter in them LOL that's not one thing with dairy, but TWO! and i ain't complaining because frankly i've missed the fucking creamy taste of milk, and couldn't really taste the butter in the peas anyway. in fact, it was because of that i felt soooo tempted to just give up dairy-free diet and go full on with milk. such weak willpower.
THEN i went to tesco to grab some vegetables. i bumped into an old course mate from first year who transferred to a different uni. i actually saw her, and made a turn pretending that i didn't see her, but i just remembered that the thing i wanted to get was in the other direction so i turned around and BAM! she came closer and recognized me so i had to pretend to be surprised. well we chatted for a bit and went our ways. i still remember that she was probably one of the first few friends i made in first year because we were in french together and she asked me to walk to university with her. awwww those days.
the middle part of the day was just normal. i went to my first seminar but not the second one because fuck it. then it was time for muay thai again. i got paired up with this middle-aged guy and he always gives me great tips and pushes me to go further. thanks man! i must say, i'm so so tired.
i came back after muay thai, had dinner and wanted to do my dishes. then i heard a soft knock on my door. it was so soft i doubted it was for me. but just in case it was, i decided to head to the kitchen to do my dishes. as i opened the door, my flatmate was stood there and she was like pls help i got locked out and my phone and everything is in my room! so i was ok it happened to me before, here use my phone and call this lockout number. so bla bla bla she called and the guy was like yeah we'll be there soon but nobody showed up after 45 minutes and we were like um?? so we called again and the person said oh yeah should be there in about 10. my phone rang minutes after the call, she picked it up but the guy on the other end said (to someone else) oh now she's not answering. ummm HELLO?? she literally told you her phone and EVERYTHING was in her room, how do you expect her to pick up the call? telekinesis?? ugh what even. but it's all good now. it took us a total of 1 hour plus a few minutes.
anyway i'm so so tired i can't even think straight and the whole day i was tripping on my words because my brain couldn't cope with the world. and it's valentine's day which probably made it worse. just finding a reason to blame the day LOL kidding. my flatmate told me the day after valentine's, that's tomorrow, all valentine's chocolate will be on sale because nobody cares about their lovers anymore after valentine's over (i said that, she didn't) so grab your chocolates tomorrow. well, i won't. i'm still dairy-free.

phone!!
i switched off my laptop only to realize that I almost forgot to blog today LOL i thought it becomes a habit after doing something for many days in a row but obviously that didn't apply to me. I'm now on my phone browser typing this up hehe
i missed my lecture today because i felt super unmotivated and i was also very distracted by yugioh, which is apparently more important than my university work. i need a good smack in the head. deadlines are drawing near and all I could think of is catching the next episode of yugioh and designing the perfect fully functioning duel disk. maybe I came enrolled in a wrong degree LOL it's too late now.
so I made nestum for snack this afternoon and while I was stirring my cup of nestum, I wondered why the color of the drink looked so pale. So the first thing that came to mind was to taste it, and it was so diluted. Too much water haha! Then I was staring at the cup of nestum, and I wondered again. Why is it so white? (No offense HAHAHAA jk) So I had a look at the ingredient list and I saw that there was milk in the list LOL so much for trying to go dairy free but life throws lemons at me sometimes. In this case, milk. But hey, there's milk in Milo anyway so... hmmm is this why my skin doesn't feel any different? Well there's only two ways to go: dump the milk products or drink ALL the milk HAHAHAHA I'm struggling to decide.
Um I made chicken and corn soup tonight for dinner because I've been craving for it for some time now. I must say the soup tasted so good that I'm happy I have leftovers for tomorrow. I also noticed that I'm running out of vegetables so I might get some after my 9am class tomorrow, given that I don't ditch the lesson. I made the soup with a whole chicken leg, and oh boy do I miss chicken thighs and drumsticks!! Been cooking with breast meat all this while because of the lower fat content and it's white meat, healthier choice they say, but seriously though chicken legs are the tastiest. Now I want hot wings from KFC (again! LOL) although I did say that I regret having them the last time I did. But everyone does that. Oooooh you know what's good, buttermilk chicken mmmm the crispy curry leaves and creamy sauce with the fried bone-in chicken thigh/drumstick chunks! KFHWKDHKASJ it's almost 12am and I'm craving for something I can't get here!! ARGH!
Apart from that, I also managed to write down the notes for my dissertation draft that I was supposed to do yesterday! A good start. I have Muay Thai tomorrow and pride and prejudice play on Wednesday. And a draft due in about 2 weeks LOL gg.
This post looks weird to me because at times some letters get capitalized because of the phone's autocorrect feature. Oh it just hit 12am. Happy Valentine's Day!! I'll just spend my day eating and buying vegetables, attending lectures and seminars, and Muay Thai the shit out of myself because I've got no real lover to punch hahahaha just kidding I do not condone violence.
On a different note, im feeling plain lately. Which is a good thing because it means that my emotions are regulated LOL. Just saying.

Well there's only two ways to go: dump the milk products or drink ALL the milk HAHAHAHA I'm struggling to decide.
Um I made chicken and corn soup tonight for dinner because I've been craving for it for some time now. I must say the soup tasted so good that I'm happy I have leftovers for tomorrow. I also noticed that I'm running out of vegetables so I might get some after my 9am class tomorrow, given that I don't ditch the lesson. I made the soup with a whole chicken leg, and oh boy do I miss chicken thighs and drumsticks!! Been cooking with breast meat all this while because of the lower fat content and it's white meat, healthier choice they say, but seriously though chicken legs are the tastiest. Now I want hot wings from KFC (again! LOL) although I did say that I regret having them the last time I did. But everyone does that. Oooooh you know what's good, buttermilk chicken mmmm the crispy curry leaves and creamy sauce with the fried bone-in chicken thigh/drumstick chunks! KFHWKDHKASJ it's almost 12am and I'm craving for something I can't get here!! ARGH!
Apart from that, I also managed to write down the notes for my dissertation draft that I was supposed to do yesterday! A good start. I have Muay Thai tomorrow and pride and prejudice play on Wednesday. And a draft due in about 2 weeks LOL gg.
This post looks weird to me because at times some letters get capitalized because of the phone's autocorrect feature. Oh it just hit 12am. Happy Valentine's Day!! I'll just spend my day eating and buying vegetables, attending lectures and seminars, and Muay Thai the shit out of myself because I've got no real lover to punch hahahaha just kidding I do not condone violence.
On a different note, im feeling plain lately. Which is a good thing because it means that my emotions are regulated LOL. Just saying.

HEART.BREAK.HO.TEL
no reason for the title. i was just listening to this song when i decided to start writing this blog post LOL this song is so nice though. i hope tiffany makes more songs like this. not songs like IJWD. HAHAHAHA just kidding. IJWD is a nice song but i prefer HH's vibe.
it's monday again tomorrow. this means it's one day closer to the deadlines of all my assignments, including my dissertation which is due in around 2 months LOL FUCK BFNQEFPIN and i've literally done nothing. the draft is due on the 1st of march, and it's the 13th tomorrow. i should sort out a schedule for all the stuff i need to do and note down all the points for the draft, which is due in 17 days LOL 4000 words. that's half the amount for the dissertation.
on a different note, why are xxx-free foods so expensive?? they literally LACK an ingredient what the fuck?? trying to undermine people's effort to eat healthier. AND imagine the people without the choice because of a health condition and shit, they've got to pay for prescriptions AND expensive food! ugh! ironically, now i crave for fried chicken and fish and chips LOL
and i noticed that it's pretty quiet today (and yesterday i think?), i didn't bump into any of my flatmates, and they made almost no noise omg what miracle is this??? hahaha funny thing is, now i'm the one singing above normal volume levels to compensate for their absence LOL just kidding.
i finally went outside today. it drizzled and it was so damn windy i regretted leaving the flat. but i got myself some mackerel fillets to throw into my leftover stew; i must say mackerel tastes so good in spicy gravies/sauces. i should try making curry with mackerel soon. oh and i think i should visit the quayside market next sunday. it's been a while.
my alarm is set at 1030am tomorrow. i still have my philosophy lessons to go through. and of course plan the time for my dissertation. i feel so restless now ugh. my next vita game to start will be steins;gate LOL random.

sunday tomorrow.
it feels like i've said this a million times but i have done fuck all today. i even missed a philosophy lesson because i felt so unmotivated. and it's not helping that it's sunday tomorrow where i originally have nothing planned.
i spent my day watching yugioh 5Ds and my eyes probably leaked more watching yugioh than anything else combined. although most of the time the protagonist just wins riding on sheer luck LOL where the skills at? but that makes it more thrilling because i wanna know how the fuck did he win with the odds against him like that. that aside, i tried designing a functioning duel disk and i plan to build it when i get home. that's gonna be one of my projects. other projects include building my gundam HAHA and also reorganizing my display shelf.
since it's saturday, i did my laundry as usual and i noticed that i had only 3 pairs of socks and 1 outside shirt in the pile. whoa, that means i only went out-out 3 days this week. don't wanna explain the 1 shirt though hahahaha this week's laundry was a bit light. i usually wait till the clothes cool down before i fold/roll them but it was only done around 1115pm so i had to do it immediately after collecting my clothes. OMG clothes freshly out of the dryer are the best thing to hug on a cold day. my clothes were so warm i almost didn't wanna fold them until i hugged the heat out of every piece of clothing but unfortunately i gotta.
i stayed in almost all week. i feel like i should get out and get proper fish and chips but i just feel too lazy to do anything, more so if it involves leaving the flat. i did leave the flat during washing though, to get myself the chocolate oat biscuits and grabbed 3 reduced price oranges. the rough surfaced ones are the sweetest. i was in the store for 40 minutes LOL thanks to my indecisiveness. but it helped kill time. and i've got a play to watch on wednesday, which is pride and prejudice! it's a classic so i hope it's good; i've never read the book i don't know much about the story but i hope the play can give me a solid idea.
and now that i've finished lone survivor, i'll be deciding on which game to start next. i shouldn't be thinking about that now though?? oh well.
i finally used up all the seafood i had and my fridge compartment looks so empty. i made the brazilian fish stew (remember i mentioned something about mexican fish curry? i got it all wrong LOL) again and dumped in all the remaining seafood. i swear to god (whatever it may be) that the damn crab claw was juicy and scrumptious as fuck. too bad grainger market isn't open on sundays so i won't be able to grab one more to put in my stew. it's also relatively expensive so one on hand it isn't a bad thing. well if i manage to drag myself out tomorrow before late afternoon i might get some extra seafood for my last batch of stew for tomorrow's dinner. oh and for the first time i managed to finish using coriander before it wilts. now that i think of it, every time i got coriander, i never get to use even half of it because i never knew what to do with it. but this time, good job.

i almost forgot.
i almost forgot to blog again LOL wasn't in a very good condition today. i had soy mocha last evening right, and it fucked up my sleep so i felt so damn tired throughout today. the lack of energy also somehow affected my focus on the philosophy courses that i was supposed to do at 11am but i postponed it to 12pm and that messed up my other schedules as well LOL i didn't get to do much today, really.
but i managed to actually stick to "attending" my philosophy classes although i have a feeling what i learnt earlier wouldn't retain very well. i'll check the notes again and hopefully recall some stuff i learnt. i also need to start planning my dissertation already because doomsday is coming and i feel like i don't really have enough time to do anything at all although i'm doing nothing productive most of the time hahaha
speaking of productiveness, i finished lone survivor for the first time and the ending got me a little but confused so i googled up the possible theories behind the game and omg what a deep story. i plan to play it again some other time to see if i can get a different ending to the one i had for the first time but i doubt i'll do that anytime soon though, since i've still got other unplayed games and of course university work.
and it's saturday tomorrow. that means it's laundry day. just a passing comment LOL i just remembered that i left the chicken breast in the fridge (not the freezer) for about 4-5 days already. i totally forgot about it because i was so distracted by the amount of seafood i have. i'll use the chicken breast up tomorrow to make some sandwich for brunch and figure out what to do with the remaining seafood before they all turn into ammonia LOL
i've been craving for crunchy fish and chips with mushy peas and korean noodles and korean saucy fried chicken and milk and cheese and everything is making me sad. i just crave for crispy fried stuff and i think it could be a sign for something. i'll go google it up now.

it came.
most wanted finally appeared in my mailbox when i already stopped anticipating for its arrival!!
is this real life?? well i emailed the seller to update them about this, not sure if i'll have to pay for it again hahaha i'm an awfully honest being.
i ditched the depression event at 6pm today because i decided that i prefer to play games with a friend instead hahaha. it was the cockroach simulator game and just after one round, about 35 minutes, we both decided to ask for refund because that game is very vomit-inducing due to the quick camera spinnings. honestly i still feel like throwing up now LOL i hope she'll agree to get tabletop simulator so we can play uno or monopoly deal together.
i also got a crab claw and some clams. wanted to make this mexican curry i saw on youtube last night, it looked so tasty. i didn't get to make dinner tonight though, i was too full from the super late lunch i had.
fish and aubergine rice. the fish was really nice and the aubergine tastes exactly like how an aubergine would taste like. i put in a whole lot of chili oil now i feel bad. but that was my first and last main meal of the day so i hope that makes me feel better. ugh i could still taste the chili in my throat. after that i had soy mocha at costa.
i was walking around and i passed by hmv; i saw the half price promotion for a set of wireless speakers omg so tempted but then i don't really have any use for it now. this is how marketing works eh? fishing for wavering hearts. but £30 for a speaker of that size seems like a fair price. i'll think about it.
it's barely 730pm and i'm already feeling very sleepy. for some reason i feel so tired today. probably because it hailed today.

NO CRAB NO SQUID
I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO MY SEAFOOD STEW I PLANNED TO MAKE WITH ALL THE SEAFOOD THAT SHOULD COME WITH MY TESCO DELIVERY TODAY. WHEN I GOT THE CALL THAT THEY WERE 4 MINUTES AWAY I HAPPILY JOGGED DOWNSTAIRS BECAUSE AFTER 3 DAYS I CAN FINALLY GET MY FOOD. THE MOMENT I SAW THE MAN MY FACE LIT UP BECAUSE YASSS MY CRAB!!! BUT NOOOO HE TOLD ME THERE WAS NO CRAB AND NO SQUID AS WELL WHAT THE FUCK?? WHY NOT JUST TELL ME THERE WAS NO MORE TESCO???
i still got my fish and prawns but i guess it isn't much of a "seafood" stew with only two types of seafood in it, isn't it? to be honest, i was very very disappointed and very sad because my three days of anticipation led up to nothing. it's like already getting tickets to an event months before only to know that the event was cancelled two days prior to the event (ehem ASS, i still remember). in the end i still made my fake seafood stew. because it only had fish and prawn in it, i plan to make it again tomorrow after heading to the market to get some ingredients. on the bright side, i didn't have to carry all the chicken from the market back to my place. i hope the market has crab and clams. it is a city by the sea after all. if not then i'll just throw in my fingers because i'll be salty as fuck anyway.
i got an email from a lecturer of a module that i've been absent from for the whole year, asking me if it was a mistake that i was in her register. yes, i am supposed to be in the register, i am supposed to attend but it wasn't compulsory so everyone knows where this is going, right? so i said, yes i was supposed to be in the register and no i didn't attend because it wasn't compulsory. i was so honest i felt bad for the lecturer LOL i'm so sorry. i hope she doesn't mind taking me of the register because i ain't going to a class that isn't compulsory. dat iz life 4 u. kidding, i'm just an irresponsible student.
so i tried the soy chocolate ice cream just now and it wasn't bad actually. though it tasted too soy-y but it guess it's expected because it's a fucking soy chocolate ice cream. fuck me for going dairy but i'd do anything for prettier skin LOL vain as fuck.
i plan to go to muay thai twice a week starting next week because i think i really shouldn't waste the extra class. i just hope i'll be ready to do it two days in a row; it's gonna be tiring super tiring but it's definitely gonna be worth it.
right, as a reminder:
1) clams
2) coconut milk
3) peppers
4) crab, if any
5) tomatoes
now i'll go play some lone survivor, and mobius ff.

super tired.
i am super knackered. the maintenance people finally got my bathroom silicon thing fixed and it looks so much better now. what i hate, though, were them stepping past my bathroom and into my room with their fucking boots on like what the fuck that's so disgusting? so today i washed my bathroom again and did a quick vacuum cleaning.
i actually managed to go to all of my classes today, including the 9am one LOL it was about evolutionary biology and we had to know about dna, genes, speciation, saltation, and all that shizz about human evolution. this is to track back how language was formed due to changes of body parts and bla bla bla..... zzzzz.
language and meaning seminar was ok. talked about collocations and how the meaning or connotation of a word changes once it's been paired up with another word and how we perceive the word and .... bla bla bla.... zzzzz.
i bought some books today during the 4-hour break i had in between classes. i wanted to take a nap but i couldn't find a comfortable position to sleep in so i just went out to get lunch and planned to read before my 3pm class but i failed. i also ended up ordering something porky by accident again because i'm an idiot plus it didn't taste bad so whatever. i'll remember that next time. it's tough trying to avoid beef and pork and being a little bored of chicken.
i bought these books related to philosophy because after i started the online course i find philosophy to be very interesting. i didn't get very heavy-going books so that i'll remain motivated to read them. i used my dad's card because books (thanks dad) and i can't wait to start reading!
i also got myself some stupid self-adhesive book wrapper. this is like the worst invention ever because everything just sticks to the book and if you get the angle wrong you're gonna end up with trapped air bubbles. if you try to push them out, you will end up with fugly shit like this:
isn't this like the most annoying thing that could happen when you're trying to wrap a book??? you fucking wrap a book because you want it to look nice and be protected but the very thing that's supposed to make it look nice fucks it up instead. whoever came up with the idea that "hey! let's use a massive tape as a book wrapper so we don't have to use tape to stick the wrapper to the book!" is a massive piece of dog shit.
ok i admit, i don't have the skills. BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE CONVENIENT????? ain't looking convenient to me. i should just stick (haha!) to the traditional way of wrapping books with NON-adhesive wrapper and tape.
oooooh uncanny valley is already out for ps4 and psvita, but it's only available in the us and uk store ugh, and my us psn account is just short of a couple bucks so i can't get it right away. nevermind, i have other games to finish anyway. after that i'll switch accounts and get on with uncanny and child of light.
ehhh i'm glad i have no classes tomorrow. the one scheduled was a mistake so we don't have to go. i'm also running out of provisions. thankfully, tesco's coming tomorrow just before dinner. and i've got my other online classes scheduled for tomorrow so hopefully i'll be able to wake up at 1030am.

is it something or nothing or ginger nut biscuit?
so i started my online courses today. i woke up minutes before 1030am and managed to have breakfast before turning on my laptop to get on the website. i'm pretty proud of myself. i had ginger but biscuits for the first time and i actually quite liked them! will recommend.
i started with philosophy and critical thinking, and introduction to human rights today. i find philosophy very very interesting and human rights very very complicating LOL but it was a good thing. it is a good thing. so with philosophy i learnt about how to form sound arguments and all that, then i stumbled upon this sentence : What doesn't have any being as a thing cannot explain why someone knows something if knowing something is something positive. that's a mouthful but whaaaaaa? that's philosophy for you. then with human rights i learnt about morals and ethics, normative and legals systems and all that stuff. heavy stuff.
then i had vegetable noodles for lunch. i discarded the remaining knorr's vegetable stock cubes i had because the salt content is just ridiculous. can you imagine, every portion of stock (1/6th of a cube) has 16% of your daily recommended intake of salt. and that's based of a 2000kcal diet. surely you don't just use 1/6th of a cube to make a pot of stock?? then i remember using HALF a fucking cube in 500ml of water to make my soup noodles, i'd be bald before 30. so THROW. so i ordered very low salt vegetable stock by kallo's instead. 0.1g of salt per 100ml. not bad. daily recommended intake is no more than 6g (a teaspoon) for adults based on a 2000kcal diet. though i think i messed that up with the stock cubes ugh.
then i went to class at 3pm and it ended at 5pm. i got back and made myself tomato sauce pasta with pan-fried cajun chicken. i'm stuffed until now. it's been over 4 hours. i think i overdid the pasta portion. i really couldn't tell.
it's gonna be a long day tomorrow because i have a lecture at 9am, then muay thai at 6pm and some other stuff in between. the maintenance people are also coming to fix the silicon lining in my shower because it's moldy as fuck. they say it's gonna take a couple of hours to do, then another couple of hours to dry. they asked me to shower in the morning just in case, but dude i have muay thai at 6, and i usually come back around 8/830 to shower. how is showering in the morning gonna help? i just hope by the time i'm done with muay thai, i can use the shower already.
i also hope that they don't step around my room because they've got their shoes on. ew? people here really need to reconsider their hygiene practices.

then i had vegetable noodles for lunch. i discarded the remaining knorr's vegetable stock cubes i had because the salt content is just ridiculous. can you imagine, every portion of stock (1/6th of a cube) has 16% of your daily recommended intake of salt. and that's based of a 2000kcal diet. surely you don't just use 1/6th of a cube to make a pot of stock?? then i remember using HALF a fucking cube in 500ml of water to make my soup noodles, i'd be bald before 30. so THROW. so i ordered very low salt vegetable stock by kallo's instead. 0.1g of salt per 100ml. not bad. daily recommended intake is no more than 6g (a teaspoon) for adults based on a 2000kcal diet. though i think i messed that up with the stock cubes ugh.
then i went to class at 3pm and it ended at 5pm. i got back and made myself tomato sauce pasta with pan-fried cajun chicken. i'm stuffed until now. it's been over 4 hours. i think i overdid the pasta portion. i really couldn't tell.
it's gonna be a long day tomorrow because i have a lecture at 9am, then muay thai at 6pm and some other stuff in between. the maintenance people are also coming to fix the silicon lining in my shower because it's moldy as fuck. they say it's gonna take a couple of hours to do, then another couple of hours to dry. they asked me to shower in the morning just in case, but dude i have muay thai at 6, and i usually come back around 8/830 to shower. how is showering in the morning gonna help? i just hope by the time i'm done with muay thai, i can use the shower already.

i forgot to blog yesterday.
i was distracted by the movie i was watching so i forgot to blog yesterday LOL nothing much happened yesterday anyway apart from me buying biscuits while i was waiting for my clothes to dry.
nobody's wondering but these were my spoils. never tried ginger nut biscuits before so i hope it's good. the honey and nuts belvita biscuits "may contain milk" but the chocolate chip one actually does? i'm sad because i really love the chocolate chip one, it's weird because this one has chocolate chips in it but it doesn't actually contain milk. ugh. as for nairn's, i hope it's not just a plain expensive brand LOL
my online courses are starting tomorrow so i plan to have these biscuits for breakfast. i scheduled for the courses to start at 11am, so now my alarm is set to 1030am everyday except tuesdays because i have 9am classes ugh. it's philosophy and human rights tomorrow, i hope i'll be able to keep up and not lose the willpower LOL
i asked a friend to play games with me today because i was bored, and i found this game called Oh Sir...!! The Insult Simulator on steam. the game was pretty funny and at times it made no sense because my friend (the opponent) took the words i wanted to use LOL
and the accent they used made the whole thing funnier and my favorite was sir arthur knight because he's insulting someone with a very proper english accent.

seriously this is my personal favourite because my whole ancestry was mentioned and i finally have a wife.
although i have a wife it's pretty sad to know that even if she's married to me she'd rather admire pictures of my sister that i never knew i had.
and my son is defenseless young men (what even?) and it turned out that my wife was actually a hamster..........
and of course my mother farted on me. LOL playing the game is funnier than looking at videos so i recommend!
speaking of games, i looked through my steam library today and remembered that i bought these horror games early december 2016. it was The Hat Man: Shadow Ward, House of Caravan and Decay - The Mare , i played the first two for a bit and being the scaredy cat that i am, i didn't play them for a very long amount of time BUT i will revisit them once i feel brave enough. it's not as scary to watch compared to actually controlling the character and playing the game LOL i suck. i might ask a friend to play this with me so i don't feel haunted. i also got the Cockroach Simulator game and i shall wait for someone to join me in this conquest hahahaha.
umm did my routine weekly cleaning today, washed my slippers. it was ok. i had yesterday's curry for lunch and dinner and ugh i'll stay away from curry for a couple of weeks. nah, i might make fish curry next week LOL my tesco delivery is coming on wednesday, before then i'll have to clear up all the stuff i have left so i have space for new ingredients. i bought crab so i'll look for something to make with it. I CAN'T WAIT.
i'm not sure what's happening to my daily reading but i should at least read like 5 pages of something today. i'll browse through the list of books i have. should i start with homophobias or logically fallacious?
my brother sent me a message at 642am this morning asking me to wake up. and when i replied sup at 1131am he never replied again wtf. BOO.

Virtue's Final Reward!!!
ok i finally beat the game omfg after so many hours HWIFHEHFIJWPF so twisted!! massive plot twist but i sort of guessed part of it actually hahaha!!
i got all 22 endings omg. can you imagine all these boxes used to be question marks??
i even got the platinum trophy! but of course, i am not really that capable so i relied on the walkthrough guide, NOT ALL THE TIME, but i did use it a lot of the time.
100% can you believe it? i don't even know how many 100%s i've ever gotten before but not many. and this is one of them! i'm happy. can't wait for the nonary games bundle! it's not released yet though, should i get zero time dilemma?? that's the sequel to this game hmm...
update on my most wanted status. the seller gave me a refund. poor seller. honestly, i prefer having a replacement of the game than a refund because i've been wanting to have a physical copy of the game. hmm hopefully there is chance that the game might arrive. i'll keep checking.
and apart from that, i enrolled in some online courses for free, but apparently it takes as much dedication as real school, except it's not 3 years long. like 3-6 hours per course per week. and i got a little carried away and enrolled in like 4 LOL so my timetable's a little bit packed. but i guess it's a good distraction compared to just gaming my ass off hahaha. and this way i won't feel so bad about not doing my daily reading because i have courses to do! hahahaha!! change of plans i guess.
i hope i don't forget that i still have real university lectures to go to LOL meh what are the chances that i forget about that??
it's been about 2 months and they are still visible.. just how long will it take?? that always serves as a reminder how much i wanted to do it again. the relief once it kisses my skin. i feel better. i guess it's a channeling of one kind of pain into another because then it will be more tolerable.and i'm glad that bitmoji can make everything seem less serious so people don't actually wonder.

boriiiiiing.
nothing happened today really.
i made my japanese pasta, it was a failure. i guess that's something? hahaha it wasn't totally a failure but it wasn't a success either. it tasted okay i guess.
spent my day doing fuck all and i honestly don't know how i lived through the day LOL all i could remember was playing with VLR the whole time. the game is getting more and more interesting and it makes me think about how twisted humans can be. ughhhh scary. i'm 90% through the game now, i think! just one column left. but there could be more that i still need to unlock. dunno.
dinner was soup and bread. a little sad but it was okay. a makeshift gm wonder soup i tried last year. i have leftovers for lunch tomorrow yay! then i'm gonna make a vege sandwich for dinner. gonna try using up stuff in my fridge. had to throw away my celery because it was frozen. it wasn't in the freezer, mind, it was in the vegetable drawer but the cooler is so cold everything freezes over. i've had 5 eggs and 2 lemons frozen and had to throw them away. what a waste ugh.
i'm gonna go down to the reception tomorrow to sort out my unite account. i wanted to send in a maintenance request but it says user not found? like wtf i didn't pay a couple of thousand pounds for shit like this... i really wanna get the moldy silicon thing replaced cause it's freaking me out! i mean, look at this!
isn't it disgusting as FUCK?!?!?! they said they have put in a note for me but guess what?? it's been 3 weeks! very efficient. so called best student accommodation... BOO. i disapprove.
alright enough with the negativity...
i wanted to read but i am currently very absorbed in VLR. i'll screw the reading plan for today......

my legs are tired as fuck.
thanks to muay thai yesterday my legs are pretty much dead today. i don't think i'll be going anywhere tomorrow. i'll try out this ume shiso pasta i found online.
i went for a movie called prevenge. the screen was on the fourth floor LOL WTF i felt like my legs were melting on my way up. like jelly. anyway, the movie was about a pregnant woman on a killing spree. hahaha that's pretty much all i can say. oh and all the killing scenes were not censored or cut. which was very cool. check them out here but i guess it's only for UK people.
it's a pretty old school place. i think this place has history.
also my assassin's creed and ninja gaiden arrived, BUT WHERE IS MY MOST WANTED??? anyway i have raised an incident and hopefully it gets resolved soon. i can't wait to have a go at these games after i complete virtue's last reward! but i think i'm only halfway through unlocking all the endings hahah fuck me.
i honestly can't promise these will the last games i buy because i had a chat with my brother and we've decided to look for a game that is ps4 and psvita cross-playable. so maaaaybe i'll end up getting one or two more games. digitally! not physical copies at least. i think. i try. hehehe. by the way, i got assassin's creed so a friend can have a try at it. HI FRIEND HAHAHAHAHA but you will have to wait for 6 months.
i also remember that i decided to start reading in febuary. a couple of pages in a book or academic papers for at least 5 days a week. and it starts today! i have some articles i need to read so i hope i don't give up after like 2 minutes LOL.
and i've been listening to this playlist i made, hebe's performances on the reality show she's on. i seriously have forgotten how much my heart would melt until i heard her voice again. i just UGHHH IFHFWONCOEWNNCW SHE MELTS MY HEART!!! she is very sincere when she sings, that's what i really love about her. OH HOW MUCH HAS SHE GROWN??? it's been 10 years omg 😢
CHECK THE PLAYLIST OUT >>>> HEBE TFZ IS THE BEST
alright i need to go read now (before playing my game, virtue's last reward is building up!!!!)
also i think a teammate in a game i play has a slight crush on me lololol
