WFH extended

Ok so the work from home arrangement extended to June. The circuit breaker doesn't really affect me, except the weekend drinkings, and I do save a lot just chilling at home - although I've been window shopping a lot online. Now all the bubble tea shops and barber shops are closed, my hair is in a mess. I haven't had a haircut since Feb - that's exactly 2 months ago, and I've got one and a half month more to go. Good thing is I don't have to go out and meet people, and if I go for grocery runs I can just wear a cap. And also there's more hair for Chloe to play with.

I really hate second puberty. My hair is falling, my face is ageing, my fats are more stubborn, my body has more aches than ever, it's so hard to keep up with my fitness level. Maybe I just miss my baby face. Even my taste in clothes changed, I suspect it's because of friends that I hang out with the most.

I guess I don't have to go anywhere this year, I just want to go to Bangkok, probably Hong Kong or Taipei or Osaka, and probably some far away place like LA or Canada or London during block leave.

unfunny

I think the lack of social life has got to my humour level. I have forgot how to make jokes now and all I could think of are inappropriate ones. I think I'm not funny anymore. How? I can't deal with being a serious adult anymore. I need more creativity for jokes now.

Getting used to working from home

Although I miss working in the office, I'm starting to get the hang of working from home. I thought it would be a temporary thing but it seems 1 month is a long time. I have my own habits and routine when I work in the office, the showers in the morning, facial regime, reading on the train, breakfast, my wolfberry water, lunch, coffee, green tea, reading on the train, dinner, gym, facial regime, show, sleep.

Now I just need to incorporate some of my routine if I work from home, like the showers and green tea and stuff. I think the main thing is boiling water is not readily available at home, or the coffee is not made by the pantry lady etc. I miss my drip coffee.

Times like this I know I'm saving a lot by eating everything at home. I haven't spent a single cent at for 5 days straight already and I feel anxious. I know that it's the best time to save money now but I feel uneasy without spending money. And also I have been researching and projecting my 2 year plan and it's kinda settled that I have enough if nothing goes wrong.

I have stiff neck for 2 days now because I have been working and sleeping and watching tv in a bad posture. Urgh I want my gym.

Also, I need a new ski jacket.

Terrace Tokyo

I just caught up to the latest episode of Terrace House on Netflix, total of 13 episodes over the weekend. Phew. It was easy, just staying at home and binge watching while dreaming of going Japan again. My eyes were glued to my laptop screen literally.

Some things I noticed about Japanese in the show:
Every date is fun (tanoshi kata)
Every food is delicious (oiishi), besides the broccoli pasta which still cracks me up
They like to go to the aquarium for date
They like to go to the sea for dates
They love their seafood and sashimi

The show made me miss Japan so much, especially it was winter time and everyone was wearing sweater and eating hotpot or something hot. Such cozy weather. When I get my own place I'm going to grocery shop the hell out of Donki and cook Japanese for every dinner. Oyako-don, Jaga-Niku, Japanese pasta, Japanese curry, Oden etc.
I am going to book my flight to Japan once this thing is over. I need to find practise my Japanese with somebody. I love my All Saints coat I can't wait to wear it again.

crash landing at home

Ok so the circuit breaker is here and my work from home arrangement is prolonged till who-knows-when.

I don't watch cheesy Korean drama but after Gerry introduced me to Crash Landing, I can't believe I'm actually addicted to this show LOL. It's a bit too much. There are very cheesy parts but overall it is a nice show lol. It goes to show how extremely bored I am.

It has been 4 days since I exercised and my tummy is already showing because:
  1. My gym is closed
  2. I have lotsa snacks at home including Haagen Daz ice cream and chips and chocolates
  3. It has been raining in the evening so I can't even go for runs
  4. All the bubble tea temptations 
To top it off, Decathlon ran out of home exercise equips, and I want to buy my gorilla-bow but it's so ex to ship here, and by the time it is shipped here the gym already opened. 

At the end of this stay-home thing, the only way I'm getting out of this is fat.
