ok! can i request an excerpt with the korean restaurant? with Minah? we had a korean new years with garlic pancakes and korean movies, so intrigued 🤗 i can’t believe you’ve had so few requests for excerpts! you must have had korean food before - - can i ask what you recommend??

Oh!! Good question; I don't consume meat as it's not good imo. However, I love tofu! So some of my favourite Korean foods are kimchi, tteokbokki, tofu miyeok-guk (i currently have a container of it— it's so filling), yaksik which reminds me of sesame bars, bibimbap is also pretty popular but I cannot consume eggs without falling ill. Since, i make things at home due to kosher restrictions; I make it without the eggs or meat. I want to make vegan korean BBQ & kimbap. Kimbap is comparable to sushi however everything is cooked. I just have to find a vegan or vegetarian version of the kimbap. Here's a bit of Zosa's mum, aunts, and dad all in one. I think it's a bit funny and pretty on par for anyone who has parents interested in your love life.

Minah nodded and walked away from the assumed couple. A grin tugging her lips upwards as she headed back into the kitchen. Giggling as she looked towards her sister, Saena. Saena's eyes gawked at the sight of the duo. Visually, they couldn't be more different from each other. Yet, his eyes were warm as he looked at her. Opposites attract, that's the saying. Though Saena had never decided if she believed in such a saying; There had to be a commonality between them.

“Is that her boyfriend?” questioned Saena.

“Ah, I don't know but they're absolutely cute together.” giggled Minah, her voice bubbling with excitement.

“He looks like trouble.” remarked Dabin as she narrowed her eyes on the boy.

“No, he looks like a tree; Tall and skinny with curly hair.” corrected Saena, laughing at her own observation of the ‘couple’.

“Tree or trouble—” Minah placed rice cakes in boiling stock, “I trust my daughter's judgement.”

Lev entered the kitchen, his mouth agape as he approached his wife. That wasn't apart of his list of expectation for the night.

“Are... Are they dating?” stammered Lev, motioning towards the open doorway of the kitchen.

“I am not sure—” Minah looked towards her husband, “you're asking the same question as the rest of us.”

“Ah, there wasn't even a confirmation of their status?” asked Saena, questioning the validity of their assumptions.

“No, but they walked in holding hands.” responded Minah, tossing the steamed rice cakes into a saucepan full of a soy sauce mixture. The simmering sauce coated the rice cakes as she stirred them around the saucepan.

“Did anyone notice how his eyes were filled with affection when he looked towards her?” asked Dabin.

“Yes—” Lev spoke with eyes wide open, “I thought my daughter would inform me of her romance.”

“Some people prefer to be private about their love life.” shrugged Dabin.

“Dabin is right,” Saena pointed out the obvious, “Jieun is a very quiet girl, it'd be likely she wouldn't kiss and tell.”

And I Will Hold On To You

(Bada Lee x Fem! Reader)

"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" BEBE Team along with Bada and you shouted echoing throughout the big hotel room you and Bada rented out.

"Another year with all of you!" Lusher stated, drinking from the champagne bottle.

"And another year with the two love birds among our team!" Tatter also stated, pointing at both you and Bada. Bada chuckled while putting her arms around your shoulder.

Just then, a ring from Bada's phone echoed throughout the room.

"Wait guys, I'll just answer this." Bada pecked your temples and proceeded to go outside.

"So unnie..." Minah began to speak as all the members including you looked at her.

"How's your relationship with Bada unnie?" Kyma dodged Minah because of her question causing Minah to send her looks.

"I-It's great, is there something I need to worry about?" You asked while sipping some champagne from your glass.

"We just noticed that you and Bada unnie do not facetime often anymore." Tatter said.

"Like during our break time during dance practices for the concerts, all she does is practice. Not like in the past where Bada unnie will hurriedly call you to update you." CheChe added.

"Y/n unnie, are you and Bada unnie planning to break up?" Sowoen, the youngest asked in a sad tone making you look at her.

"Sowoen, what makes you think about that? Ofcourse not." You smiled and patted Sowoen's head since she is just sitting beside you.

"Bada is just busy since the concert schedules are hectic and I understand that. As long as she loves what she is doing, I'll support her." All of them just look at you with dissatisfaction.

"Not backstabbing Bada unnie or anything but are not feeling sad that Bada unnie is becoming distant?" Lusher asked.

"I do get sad especially when she sometimes cancels our date because she needs to practice but then again, it's her career. And plus, who am I to stop her? I'll just hold on to our memories." You laughed bitterly.

"Both of you need to talk right now." Lusher said making everyone except you agree.

"Wha- I told you guys! We.Are.Fine!" You exclaimed as you watch them gather their things.

"Unnie, if you don't open up to Bada unnie then she will continue pushing you away because she thinks you're okay with you. You're her girlfriend and maybe even soon-to-be fiancé! You have the right to open-up!" Minah said as all of them went out of the hotel room. You sighed and was about to get the vacuum to clean the room but then Tatter peeked her head in.

"And by the way, update us once you get to talk it out." Tatter said and shut the door. You shook your head and went to clean all of the glitters and decorations in the room.

"Woah- where are the girls? Did they already go home?" Bada asked once she went in the room and saw you alone.

"Yeah, they said to send their goodbyes to you once you arrived." You said as you went to the mini kitchen to clean the bottles on the sink.

You saw at the mirror near the sink that Bada threw herself on the couch, looking stressed. You wiped your hands with the cloth and approached Bada, sitting beside her.

"I know there's something up, what's the matter?" Bada turned her head towards you and motioned you to come closer. You did what she said and laid your head on her chest with her arms around your shoulders.

"Someone cancels the contract, the one I said I will be choreographing soon?"

"Oh sweetface." You climbed on her lap and put her head on your chest, she immediately replied to your affection by wrapping her arms around you protectively.

You remembered how excited she saw when she told you about the contract which is also one of the reasons why both of you didn't spend enough time for each other, aside from her hectic schedules.

"I guess this is my karma because I didn't spend enough time with you." Bada laughed bitterly.

"Yeah, it's your karma." You rolled your eyes playfully and went to the sink to continue washing the bottles as Bada laughed. Bada approached your figure and hugged you from behind as you arranged the bottles.

"I'm sorry, I know I'm a bad girlfriend and a soon-to-be fiancé but please understand that I'm doing this for our future-" You cut off Bada's words when you heard something that didn't feel right.

"Soon-to-be fiancé?" Bada gulped in nervousness when you noticed her choice of words.

'It's now or never.' Bada thought.

"This is not the time that I'm expecting for me to say this to you but..." You're about to turn your head to meet Bada's eyes but you see her hand that is wrapped around you before, holding a small box.

"Is that..." Bada opened the box revealing an engagement ring with an expensive diamond attached to it. You cover your mouth with happy tears already threatening to fall.

"I know I've been a bad girlfriend but the contact and the concert schedules are not the only thing that keeps me busy these days." Bada said as she caressed your waist with her other hand while you are just in your own world, still staring at the ring in front of you.

"For the past years we've been together, I already know I will spend my whole life with you. The one who will support me with my ups and downs, the one who will see the true Bada, the one who will wake up next to me, the one who will be watching television with me, the one who I will be face timing with during my breaks, the one who will support me at my career, and lastly...the one who will be wearing an engagement ring on her ring finger." You break down just by hearing her words. Bada turned you around and wiped your tears, cupping your cheeks.

"And here, in this hotel room, with everyone not knowing what is happening right now between us. You'll make me the happiest woman by marrying me. So Y/n L/n, will you marry me?"

You wake up in your slumber and realize that you're in your hotel room where you and BEBE members celebrated. You turned to your right and saw Bada sleeping peacefully with her arm around your waist.

You then heard a notification on your phone. You grab it from the night stand and click the notification, it's from Tatter.

"Unnie! You forgot to update us! 😢"

"Sorry Tatter 😓 hehe by the way~"

"What unnie?"

You positioned yourself on the bed, holding up your hand and in the background is Bada sleeping soundly with her arms still around your waist.

"We're engaged!"

𝚃𝚛𝚢𝚙𝚊𝚗𝚘𝚙𝚑𝚘𝚋𝚒𝚊 (𝚃𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚘𝚘 𝙰𝚛𝚝𝚒𝚜𝚝!𝙱𝚊𝚍𝚊 𝙻𝚎𝚎 𝚡 𝚁𝚎𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚛)

Synopsis: You always wanted to have a tattoo but there's just one thing that's keeping you from getting it done, your fear of needles but then you got bored and decided to book an appointment with this gorgeous tattoo artist named Bada Lee.

Warnings: language, mentions of needles and some blood (because reader is getting tattooed), and this will be fluff

(A/N: this has been in my mind sice i read the request earlier 😩😩 then the wheel of fics decided to land on this particular idea, twice! Thanks @asweetcollide for this idea and i hope that im giving this any justice)

🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸💮🌸

You were always scared of needles for as long as you could remember. There's just something about it that makes you want to bolt out and hide but you also wanted to get a tattoo. Maybe a small wave on your arm or something else but then again getting tattooed means you're gonna be in contact with a needle which didn't sit right with you.

"Cheche I badly want a tattoo.." you whined out as you scrolled on your pinterest and saw so many cute tattoo ideas. Cheche playfully rolled her eyes hearing you whine, knowing full too well that you'd chicken out from the idea of getting one if she decides to bring you to a shop right now because you have trypanophobia or the fear of needles. But then she got an idea, she began searching her contacts before shoving her phone to your face.

"I got the perfect artist for you! Bada is really good with first timers. I mean, the face is already a distraction. You won't even notice that she's doing her work on you until it's done." Cheche says and you immediately searched up the tattoo artist she recommended. You found her social and stalked for a bit. Cheche wasn't kidding when she said that you'd be distracted by the artist's looks. Bada is simply gorgeous. If you didn't have a phobia, you're certainly tattooed from head to toe if she's your tattoo artist.

"Book me an appointment please?" you asked your friend who just laughed and nodded as she was already messaging Bada for your tattoo appointment.

"She's free on Saturday after lunch. You wanna go?" Cheche asked and you contemplated a bit before nodding your head and sealing your fate. You're finally getting your wish done and also facing your fears. Talk about hitting two birds with one stone.

Saturday rolled by quickly and Cheche, along with Minah and Sowoen, dragged your ass to your tattoo appointment since you needed your closest friends as your moral support.

"You can do it, Y/N! We're just gonna be outside so text us if you need anything." Minah smiles and the three sauntered off. Before you can go run after them, you saw your tattoo artist and you swore you forgot how to breathe when she smiled at you. Hot damn, that girl is serving the looks plus she's tall. You wanted to climb her like a tree but that might get you arrested so you behaved.

"Y/N, right? Ready for your first tattoo?" Bada asked and you just stood there, looking flustered and lost at the same time which she found adorable. She held out her hand for you to take before leading you to the back. She showed you some designs for your desired tattoo and when everything was finalized, she had you lie down so you could relax and even offered you some drinks to help you relax further.

"I have fear of needles so I'm really sorry if I'm giving you a hard time right now.." you apologized and she just smiles, ruffling your head as she prepared everything for your session.

"No worries, you're actually doing great. Just tell me if it's becoming too much, okay? I'll stop immediately. We'll continue whenever you feel like you're okay. There's no rush." Bada assures and you nodded. She began to tattoo your arm and you winced at the initial contact. You wanted to bolt right there and then but seeing as how Bada is being so gentle and careful for your sake, you decided against it though you couldn't help the stray tears rolling off from your eyes.

When Bada noticed, she immediately stopped and pulled you into a hug, rubbing your back and whispering reassuring words to you until you calmed down enough and asked her to continue. She would constantly look at your face to make sure you're okay as she worked on your tattoo. To distract you, she would make the most ridiculous jokes until the tattoo was done.

"Wow.. It looks really cute.." you gasped as you saw the finished product. Bada smiles and began to clean everything up. She's proud of you for braving your fears and thinks that you're so adorable that she wants to take you out on a little date. A bit of a reward as well as you did such great job throughout the whole session.

"Yeah? I'm glad that you like it. By the way Y/N, wanna go out for some coffee together? A little treat since you did so good on your first tattoo.." Bada asked and your cheeks heat up at the invitation. If Cheche told you that there's a date reward for doing good from getting a tattoo, you would've done this a long time ago.

"Yes please! If you're gonna reward me with a little date every time I would get a tattoo, I'd be your regular customer." you joked and Bada laughed, taking your hand in hers and led you out of the shop.

"Then you better keep coming so I can take you out on a date each time." Bada teased and brought you to a café so she can treat you out a little and get to know you better.

pizza night

blackpink 5th member au

minah and mingyu suddenly turning into parents of 12

WARNINGS: it's been a long time since the last time I've written something. hope you guys like it tho!

masterlist 🩰 requests are opened feedback is always important to me!

"Five, four, three…"

The yoga instructor's voice was the only thing filling Minah and Mingyu's living room. Minah held her breath as the woman counted, trying to recreate the exact position she was teaching.

After the accident, Minah found the wonderful world of online workouts, and she never had to bother about going to the gym again. Not when she could do all that in her living room, not having to interact with other humans but her boyfriend, peacefully sleeping upstairs.

"Okay, now take a deep breath. And now, let it go." Minah did as the instructor said. "That's it for today, everyone. Our next class…"

Minah didn't wait for the video to end to turn off the TV, sitting on her couch and closing her eyes, feeling her muscles and her body racing post-workout. Oh, how she loved being alive.

She took her time there, just enjoying the silence, before deciding it was time for her to wake Mingyu up and get something to eat.

She was in the middle of the hallway when her intercom started ringing. Minah frowned. She didn't invite anyone, and Mingyu would probably warn her if he had. She turned around and headed to the kitchen.

Before even looking closely, Minah recognised who it was.

"Gosh…" she mumbled. Taking the intercom off the hook, Minah answered before anything. "Come in."

It didn't take two minutes before the door slammed open, and twelve men entered the apartment.

"Jesus, I'm so hungry." Dokyeom said, heading straight to the kitchen. He stopped before Minah and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek. "Hi, mom."

Minah lightly slapped his shoulder, making the boys laugh.

In less than a minute, her apartment was looking like a playground.

Seungcheol, Dokyeom and Jeonghan were in the kitchen, looking for something to eat. Joshua, Wonwoo, Jihoon and Minghao turned the TV on again and searched for a game to play, already deciding the pairs. Chan and Seungkwan waved at her and just laid on the couch. Minah made a mental note to brag with Mingyu about her perfect couch choice.

"Okay," she said. "who's gonna tell me what happened?"

"We were bored." Hansol showed up on her side, devouring one of her chocolate sundaes.

"And we missed you." Sooyoung said, trying to add a reason.

"Actually, our AC system broke." Jun whispered at her, heading to one of the guests' bedrooms.

"Hyung!" the men groaned together.

Minah laughed at their reaction.

Somehow, Minah can't even keep a straight face next to them. It always felt like she was in high school again, especially with the younger ones. She noticed Hayun wasn't there.

"Where's Hayun, by the way?"

"No comments on that." Seungcheol said without looking away from the oven, and she understood Hayun was probably sleeping in someone else's house.

"I'm gonna wake Mingyu." she announced, leaving the living room.

"No!" twelve voices echoed together, making her laugh.

"Why waking him up? He's so peaceful while he's asleep." Chan said with a forced smile on his face.

"The house is so quiet. Listen. " Jihoo said, making a signal for them to be quiet. "You can even listen to the birds."

Minah scoffed and shook her head, heading to the hallway leading to her bedroom. Mingyu had already talked to them about showing up without warning.

When she opened the door and got into the bedroom, she wished they were alone. Mingyu was in the same position she left him earlier, and she just wanted to take a quick shower and cuddle him again.

But a loud noise from the kitchen followed by a 'Dokyeom!' made Mingyu sit on the bed.

"What's happening?" he said, before even opening his eyes.

Minah chuckled and sat close to him, pulling him closer in a quick kiss.

"Hi, baby. We have guests." she said, watching Mingyu's sleeping face turning into a confused one, pulling Minah into a hug.

It took Mingyu a few seconds to fully understand what she meant, now rolling his eyes and making Minah laugh.

"I can't believe they did it again." he mumbled against her hair.

"Yes, honey. They did." Minah told him, letting go of his arms. "I'll be waiting for you so we can decide what to eat. We didn't go to the market yesterday, and we don't have enough food for all of us."

"I'll be out in a minute." Mingyu said, getting up and heading to their shared bathroom.

A loud noise from the kitchen made Minah leave the room and go back to the living room to check what happened.

"Oh, they have some good beers here…" Chan said.

Minah was about to tell him to drink some when she felt Mingyu's hand on her shoulder.

"Good morning, guys." he said, making the boys turn their attention to him.

"Oh, look at our Sleeping Beauty!" Soonyoung said, kidding and hugging Mingyu.

"Morning?" Wonwoo said, checking his watch. "It's almost noon, Mingyu-ah."

"Oh, that explains why Seungkwan and Chan are already on their third bottle of soju." Mingyu answered, watching his members toasting one more shot of soju. "Whatever," he shook his head. "we're ordering some pizzas, if you want to stay for dinner."

The boys tsked together and started mumbling.

"I'd love to stay, but I forgot my wallet." Seungcheol said, palming his pockets, trying to sound convincing.

"Me too." Dokyeom said, doing the same thing.

"Me t-"

Before Jihoo could say the same thing, Mingyu interrupted him.

"I'll pay." he told them.

Minah had never seen 12 grown men as happy as the 12 men inside her apartment at that moment. They started to cheer and mock Mingyu, thanking him, and that made her give an honest laugh.

"I'm going to call the girls and invite them over." she told Mingyu, who nodded and gave her a quick kiss on her cheek before she left to get her phone.

"Finally Mingyu hyung is going to open his wallet!" Hansol joked.

"Should we order some more beers, then? And then we can stop at some ice cream shop, and then we can buy some chocolate-" Chan asked.

Before Chan could finish his sentence, Mingyu threw a pillow at him, making the boys burst out.

9, 22, 35, 42, 90 for cian, middy + imbris!

thank u tabby!!! | 93 fun oc asks

9. What is their favorite color? Favorite animal?

cian — the warm golden-green of sunlight through the trees / nanna (also hedgehogs)

middy — deep burnt orange / cats (especially cranky ones)

imbris — blue / birds in general (he likes starlings and magpies especially)

22. What is their least favorite thing about their personality?

cian — he sometimes gets exasperated by how shy he is. he sees how smoothly riya and minah navigate social situations and thinks it would be a nice skill to have. (he's also frustrated by his inability to find the middle ground between his own ideals and the party's duty. he feels inadequate in both directions)

middy — she sometimes feels like she's not enough to hold everything together. not quick or clever or bright enough. not good enough. but she tends to drag herself out of those slumps quite quickly (there's no point in just accepting it).

imbris — he hates that most of his confidence is bluster. he wishes it were more genuine, and that he felt small and afraid less often.

35. What is the easiest way to annoy them?

cian — people making a show of their callousness/indifference. keep that shit to yourself man. (also people getting in his way when he's trying to help. MOVE, he's a DOCTOR)

middy — talking down to her or implying she's too naive to understand. she understands plenty.

imbris — teasing him about something he's self conscious about (or just telling him what to do. he hates being bossed around)

42. What is their favorite thing about their physical appearance?

cian — i truly do not think he considers his appearance very much at all. maybe his eyes? his mother had the same colour eyes, so they're a nice memory of her.

middy — she was told a long time ago that she had a warm smile and thought it was such a special compliment to receive amidst the grime and hardship of joule. a warm smile is exactly what she wants to have.

imbris — his hair. long after he gives up on the thought of his mother reappearing in his life, his hair still sets him apart from his father and connects him to the sky. (in non-dnd verses he dyes his hair white and hates when the dark roots start showing)

90. Are they right or left handed?

cian — left handed. not beating the (hedge)witch allegations.

middy — right handed but has definitely tried to teach herself how to write with her left hand.

imbris — taught himself how to be ambidextrous for all the things that matter. one bad experience will do that to you.

[cityandking]

10, 27, 35, 49, and 53 for narayani, minah, and branwen

thanks!! // detailed oc ask meme

10. Do they have any markings, piercings or scars?

NARAYANI — has her vallaslin (dirthamen), which she's very proud of. she also has a couple of noticeable scars, including one through her right eyebrow and one along her left jawline. she probably has a few other scars, but none on her face. her ears and nose are pierced. MINAH — has a scar above one eye that she keeps covered with her bangs, plus a few other smaller ones. she has multiple ear piercings and a septum piercing. I still haven't decided if she has tattoos or not; I go back and forth ever time I think about it. BRANWEN — multiple ear piercings, maybe a nose piercing? a handful of scars (mostly small) and numerous tattoos—a compass, birds in flight, her colors on her inner wrist, constellations, and one over her sternum that's just barely visible when she leaves her shirt unbuttoned, which moves (it's a stoppered diamond flask with the ocean inside and the waves reflect her heartbeat/emotional state)

27. What’s their family like? Who’s in it? What’s their relationship with them?

NARAYANI — her birth parents died when she was young and she only has hazy memories of them; she was found alone and abandoned and raised mostly by the clan lavellan elders and so considers the clan her family. she had a sort of grandmotherly figure she was particularly close to, but they had a falling out over rani's desire to spend more time in the human world/revenge her parents' death/become a clan spy/assassin, and the elder died before they reconciled. rani regrets that. MINAH — her parents are dead and she's estranged from everyone she left behind, but she considers the troupe something of a family—a very hodgepodge, slightly annoying, much-beloved family. BRANWEN — her mother died when she was 15 and her father retreated into himself when he couldn't cope with the grief, so for a few years it was just bran and her baby brother (he's 12 years younger than her). when she ran away from home she met the owners of the rundstream tavern, who took her in, and then later she had the luckrunner and her crew, which are sort of her family too, especially her first mate haskon. (and eniko, and sabine. more than anything, maybe, eniko and sabine.)

35. What are they like as a friend?

NARAYANI — somewhat abrasive but extraordinarily steadfast and loyal. she'll call it like she sees it and won't take any shit, and it takes ages to get through her walls, but once you do she'll stick through thick and thin MINAH — a little distant and superficial, but she tends to show up when it counts. she's the sort of person who can keep a conversation rotating around the other person for so long that you could almost miss that she never says anything of substance about herself, but the way she plays it off never seems as strange or defensive as it really is. that said, if you're looking for a fun time or a bit of entertainment, minah's 100% the person who can hook you up BRANWEN — delightful. super present, cares a lot, genuinely outgoing and fun and supportive. the kind of friend who always engineers a good time but will also be up with you at 3am dealing with The Shit. we all deserve a friend like bran.

49. What are some themes tied to your character’s story?

NARAYANI — death/loss is a big one. becoming the monster/loving the monster, and also becoming the mask. there's a bit of flirting with becoming the villain, but in the end she disappears back into the shadows—though who knows, maybe that's still becoming the villain MINAH — masks and truth, performance versus the self (and performance of the self), past mistakes and redemption BRANWEN — freedom, the conflict between duty and participating in a corrupt system, masks and the self (are you seeing a theme here)

53. Expectations vs Reality: what did you expect and what did you get with this character?

NARAYANI — I expected her to push through and become the mask and be the (in the open) counterpoint to solas' figure in the shadows (villain4villain romance!!), but when the final choice arrived I just couldn't see her sticking to the inquisition—at her core, she's a creature of loss, and even the bloated horrible burden of the inquisition was just one more thing for her to lose. MINAH — well first of all I expected her to be more talkative, but turns out that's really hard to RP all the time! she's also a little blunter than I'd like her to be (her high CHA vs my low CHA) and maybe a little less suave. such is the nature of RP; I make my peace with it BRANWEN — I thought she'd be a little more freewheeling but also a little less wary; she turned out to be kind of disinterested in getting too involved in the party's issues, and it took some time/effort for her to fully engage. then she did and shit kinda hit the fan. classic D&D.

25th July 2024, Thursday.

Geramny pepagi pergi kerja ni, totally rush hour orang kat ek. Aku pula jenis bukan early bird, selalu santi pegi kerja pukul 10-11 pagi haha. Pepagi memang anjay takde seats dalam train. Aku gerak kerja awal pgi pun sebab husband kerja pagi. Malas gerak asing, so kita follow saja lor drop at train station Cyberjaya. Pehhh takda seat dah dua hari ni aku berdiri from Cyber to KL.

Yang aku geramnya semalam, minah ni beratur coach lain, aku coach lain. Dah masuk train tu, ada lah satu seat kat area aku. Dekat je ngan aku, so aku santai lah jalan ke seat tu. Si anjay ni boleh jalan cecepat tanpa tengok aku terus pi duduk je. Pukimakkk! Pastu aku nak kena buat muka game over ke cane?

Harini pula aku beratur kat coach lain dengan hoping ada lah seat kat belah lelaki. Eyy si jantan depan aku ni tak pdan dengan patah tangan, dia boleh lari duduk kat seat available mat! Kau tu dah lah acah cacat, bawa honda civic park kat prking oku depan bas stop. Sekali tengok yang keluar tu, alehh ptah tangan je pun. Bukan kau ada sticker OKU.

The Minah Bird is a small and seemingly almighty mynah bird. Horrifyingly destructive, he strikes fear in the heart of every animal. Always silent, eerily mysterious and all-powerful, he walks (and hops) to the tune of Felix Mendelssohn's "The Hebrides". Created by Chuck Jones in the 1930s. This little bird and this little tune haunted me for years. It took me forever to find him, but here he is.

Found a baby.

It’s an Australian native minah bird.

Didn’t see any parents around and couldn’t find any nearby nest though I know for a fact there’s at least 2 nests in the general area.

Didn’t want to leave the baby so close to the ground because people walk their dogs through here and don’t always keep their dogs leashed 😒 but also the area is the ideal habitat for snakes (and I have previously seen red bellies and king browns there)

Moved the baby onto a branch in a nearby shrub/tree with enough greenery to provide shelter from the summer sun and that was high enough off the ground to avoid dogs and an immediate snake threat but low enough that it wouldn’t do damage if it fell off.

At this age sometimes the parent birds will ditch their babies for a few hours to try and get them to become independent which may be the case here but could have also been a case of a failed first flight or even blown out of a nest by the strong winds today.

I’m hoping it sorts itself out but I will keep an eye on the area.

This little baby did NOT want to climb off my finger and onto the branch and also immediately began screaming when I walked away. 😂

"He's scared shitless man, he thinks he's going to be arrested for sitting with white folks. He can't get used to the idea that in this country, there is no colour bar."

"Hahaha!"

"There is no colour bar in this country! There is racialism, but there is no colour bar."

"You got racialism, who needs a colour bar?"
