1. I plucked a starfruit from the tree at the porch. As I pulled the fruit, the remaining rain drops on the leaves, came splashing on me. First time it happened to me. Nice surprise. Great Joy! (1st Jan)
2. I won 125 coins from Shoppee Farm. The most I have gotten from a harvest. (1st Jan)
3. Start watching Hospital Playlist at 7:30am, WORQ sent out message that there is free breakfast at 8am. Good spread of nasi lemak + egg sandwiches. Nothing like free breakfast to brighten up the day. (6th Jan)
4. Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT station was closed. I managed to book Grab driver almost immediately. Traffic was also smooth to office. Still reached office by 7:30am. (7th Jan)
5. I took a walk in the evening and bought a matcha sofuto from Family Mart. Weirdly I was craving for it although Matcha is not my favourite. I finished the ice cream on the way back. (17th Jan)
6. My husband was stuck in a meeting. It was raining. I was trying to get home on the lrt when my husband reminded me that I didn't have the house keys with me. I had to trouble the tuition teacher to send Wei home. Shan was also the last to go. When we were finally eating dinner at Soon Kee, close to 9pm, I was just relieved that my family is together again. Even my girls' squabbles didn't sound irritating. Plus the book I ordered back in August finally arrived! (19th Jan)
7. When I was on the way to pick Wei from tuition in the evening, a lil girl on the motorbike lift up both her hands as though she was flying. I smiled knowing the feeling of breeze on your face is liberating. Then when I was stuck in traffic, I looked at the side mirror which reflected a great clump of fluffy clouds in the sky, the sight was very nice and I was awed. (8th Feb)
8. Reiley singing : 我只想要一只冰吨吨... (11th Feb)
9. I went to the park for a morning walk this morning. Was planning to buy Nasi Lemak Bob, but he was not there. It was still an enjoyable walk. First time walking in the park in the morning. It was a nice and relaxing walk. Will try to go again. (21st Feb)
10. Conversations in the car :
“葳啊，今年你毕业，要不要送东西给老师？”
“送菜刀” (She answered this calmly without looking away from the car window)
"Do you know if you give your teacher that, she can report polis?"
"那送小刀”
果然没从医院抱错宝宝回家 :) (21st Feb)
11. I looked up and saw many tiny fruits growing on the starfruit tree in my porch. So cute! I have always wanted to see fruits growing on trees. Now I have one of my own 😊 (28th Feb)
12. We spent 4D3N in Cameron Highlands. The 2nd day at the flora Park I was busy solving work issues. The 253 steps to the glass house nearly broke me. It was still a nice trip for our family after 2 years of pandemic. I enjoyed just lazying at the airbnb without worrying about the next meal and my loved ones were all near me. I spent some time walking at the pasar malam alone which was peaceful and liberating. I figured it was good to spend time alone while having some people waiting for you to come back. (28th April - 1st May)
13. My hubby and I went to Fatty mee hoon kueh for breakfast. While we waited in line, we ate fried prawn fritters, popiah and goreng pisang together. It was raining slightly. I looked at the cinema turned coffeeshop across the road then I looked up at the gloomy sky. It was peaceful and nice. Grateful for the quiet time with my hubby. (3rd May)
14. My hubby and I and Wei went to the Food Expo at Sunway Pyramid today. There weren't as many booths as I exoected. Still for someone who loves variety and food testing, it was a slice of heaven😍I tasted items ranging from popcorn to garlic chili sauce and orange elderflower drink to some greenish oat probiotics drink. I enjoyed myself. After that we had lunch at鼎泰风，we had the酸辣汤that I love. After that Wei and I discovered Chateraise, a Japanese bakery. They have some pastries imported directly from Japan. Bought a fresh chocolate puff and red bean daifuku. Hats off to Sunway Pyramid for the great selection of f&b👍 (16th May)
14. I was looking for my other sock on the bed but couldn't find it. I was about to.go to sleep wearing one sock when Reiley came in.and said : here's your sock. Surprised I said; why thanks, where did you find it? She chuckled : I was wearing it. (14th July)
15. Found a new breakfast place during my morning walk around the office. Hawker Hall at Menara KLK. Food was ok. Finding a new place for breakfast is always a joy 😊 (15th July)
16. After I finished my morning walk at the park, I received free nasi beriyani and sandwich from 慈济. They were distributing free breakfast in the park to promote vegetarian food. There is even pomegranate in the coleslaw sald. 小贴心😍 I was contemplating if I should go have breakfast after the walk. So lucky and so thankful (23rd July)
17. I practised calligraphy tonight. It helped to calm me down. I finished feeling more relaxed. Wei and Shan wrote something too. I felt Wei has the talent for it. (1st August)
18. We went for our first overseas trip to Seoul after the pandemic. I could have seen more places on my own, but its a different experience to go to a four seasons country with my hubby and daughters. I enjoyed seeing my girls walk in front of me. Shan with her ponytail swaying in the wind, nary a care in the world, she could pull off wearing her school pants on the streets of Seoul and still look cute. Wei walking steadily, thoughtful but relaxed. (2nd Sept - 10th Sept)
19. Today I got to eat some new things. For breakfast, my hubby and I went to a mamak near my office. I ordered roti jantan bawang telur and lemon lychee jus ais. I didn't know what they were. The roti was normal, but the drink got me excited. Somehow I like iced drinks with lychee in it. For lunch, it was a treat by media owner at Japanese restaurant. I ordered rice covered with salmon sashimi. It was ok, a safe choice. When hubby came back, he brought pastries from Chateraise. I was just thinking to go to 1u for it. (29th Sept)
20. Today my calligraphy teacher taught me how to write my Chinese name in 行书 and草书. The characters look so pretty! After 43 years, I am very excited to start practising writing my name 😁 (12th Nov)
21. Silent is my Christmas present for 2022!!😍 Love the drama. The Japanese are geniuses!! Thank you to the cast and crew. After attending the script writing class, I know there are deeper meaning to the action and lines. I am going to visit the subway station when I am in Tokyo. (23rd Dec)
