#Short trip

I played a game called 'Short Trip' where you play a cat tram conductor!

And you know what's amazing - the entire game was drawn with pencil✏️

It's $2.

Thursday 8th of August / Jeudi 8 août

I will try to describe my day in a more organized manner

Work/Focus: I focused for an hour today, did some sudokus, my focus isn't that bad, and the more I do sudokus, the better I become at it.

Since at the start of summer, I tried to slowly stop my scrolling consumption, I definitely did get better, mentally, physically, cognitively.

I literally feel like I got freed of my addiction to scrolling and short-form content, like I got back my control over myself and what I do and Im definitely happier like that.

Obviously, it's not perfect but the fact that I don't have urge to scroll anymore, the fact that I gained back my clarity of mind, the fact that I can focus half an hour without needing to be distracted or needing a shot of dopamine says a lot about how I improved just by cutting back from this destructive habit.

So I'm happier and proud because I actually did improve on my worst point.

(Because of this addiction I even failed this year's exams for my degree at uni, just so you know bad it was)

Health: ate pretty healthy, (apart from the burger and fries at 11pm), also walked a lot outside before and after that, 5000 steps

Main event: Tried to work on myself by doing actual work as said previously.

Then I visited some cousins with my family, I played Minecraft, it recalled me my childhood, I want to play that game again now.

Then, with my brother and the 2 cousins my age, we got outside at night, it was 11pm and we decided some fast-food would be good.

It was a short fun trip at night (it was so fun, I now have a good memory for life).

So we go out, it's dark, 11pm, we drive to a fast-food, buy burgers and fries and enjoy the meal over some talking. It was delicious.

Then we drove a bit more around the place where they live with loud music in the car.

And when we got home it was late.

My mother was waiting for me and my brother to come back so we could go home, we had to go by foot since we didn't have a car that would fit all my family.

It was a short walk; 15 minutes at most, they don't live far from us, it's one small neighborhood away and it's pretty safe (I live in a nice place in France so it's alright)

So we go home then, my small siblings are singing random things during the whole walk.

There's literally no one else around so we can run around, race, take poses on the road to take picture. We were just enjoying.

When we finally get home, it's 1 am.

Water Festival Break

So, it was Water Festival here in Cambodia and I took this opportunity to leave this country. Well, I always do when there's more than 3 days off!

This is my first time sleeping in KLIA 2 airport. I had a midnight layover at the airport and had to be a homeless woman, sleeping on the chair! What a great bag packer experience! It's surely not fun!

I know I just came back from Malaysia last month and I made my way back again. This is because my beloved cg leader was getting married in a very beautiful place called Suffolk House. I don't really like attending weddings but this one, exceptional. Cause I have amazing friends to be with.

Didn't take picture with the bride and groom. How sad! haha

We hang out after the wedding at MugShot and had a great time fellowshipping with one another

Most of my time was spend with my family. Went to have meal in Harvest Inn and Four Season Desserts on the first day when I landed.

However, last Sunday I had an unpleasant encounter with a contractor who had defrauded my auntie of her money. The contractor showed up at their house, inquiring about the state of the work done a few years back. As a general rule, it's best to avoid engaging with such individuals. However, my aunties, being overly kind, fell for the contractor's ploy and handed him RM350 for paint. He vanished without a trace after receiving the money. My auntie made numerous attempts to contact him, but he consistently offered excuses.

By the time I returned to Penang, three weeks had passed, and the contractor had yet to fulfill his commitments. He even resorted to blocking my auntie on WhatsApp. I reached out to him on Friday, employing a polite tone, and requested that he complete the job for which he had been paid.

He pledged to deliver the paint and the workers on Sunday morning at 8:30 AM. However, he failed to show up. At 9:30 AM, I called him again, maintaining a calm demeanor despite my simmering anger. He continued to provide the same lame excuse about sick workers. His evasiveness pushed me to my limits. I hadn't eaten breakfast and was feeling particularly irritable. I confronted him over the phone, demanding that he honor his commitment.

I persistently called him until I was certain he had picked up, reiterating my intention to settle this matter that very day. He assured me that he would deliver the paint by 1 PM. Initially, I was willing to accept the paint, but upon reflection, I decided to demand a refund instead. I insisted on a bank transfer to my account. Hesitantly, I provided my account number, fearing that he might exploit it for fraudulent purposes. However, after examining his text messages and communication style, I concluded that he lacked the sophistication of a cybercriminal.

Stuck waiting from 10am until 1pm, I was left fuming with frustration. His incessant stream of voice messages filled with excuses on my auntie's phone was unbearable, so I decided to switch off the data. Consumed by anger, I lashed out at my aunties, which I deeply regret. Seeking justice, I resolved to file a police report. Accompanied by my aunties, we headed to the police station and lodged a formal complaint.

It didn't take long to do a police report. So I sat down and decided to threaten the scammer.

While threatening him, I had to send voice message to him in the end as he said my English was too difficult for his level as he mentioned he only completed his education up till year 9. Not sure if I should pity him or laugh at him.

I was stern. Making sure he knows that I'm demanding enough. And he voice message me and said that it was unfortunate for him to meet up with me. And I replied him the same way. hahahaha

He never fail to kept giving excuses. As usual, I turn off the data and didn't want to listen to his excuses. Then I pretended that I was driving to the police station and couldn't reply him.

Right after the text: "I'm at the station already. Should I proceed?", I received RM350 in my account!

Boy! You don't know how happy I was. Jumping and shouting for joy!

I finally won the scammer! I was polite enough to thank him, bless him and then block him!

I was so relief and manage to have a proper meal with my parents at Gertak Sanggul. Not the best meal, but I was able to have my mind at rest.

My dad sold my first car. My very first beloved Kelisa that I drove to high school, university and all over Penang. It was time to say goodbye.

And before I head back, I must meet up with Ralphie. And he invited a lamp post with him. hahahaha!

I won't be seeing Ralphie until next year April. I think I'm going to miss him when I come back in December and February. Isokeh. Time past very fast.

It's just a short trip of 3 days 2 nights. But it was so fulfilling and overwhelming at the same time.

Loving every moment spend in Penang with my loved ones.

JULY 20, 2023

i went to a picnic with my family, I want to say “Gravity Falls!!!!” but no, unfortunately. it is just a 1-hour distance waterfall from my home. it was perfect until all the mosquitoes that have the ability to bite even my covered skin. i respect their motivation to bite, i don’t appreciate being bitten though.

then it was perfect again when i walked in the cold water because it was 35 degrees.

it was so lovely being in nature after a long time as I worked in the city for some time until summer break. after, we went to a little town by a lake. i took that sail photo there which i think looks cute.

some songs from my playlist for this short trip were:

perfect blues by hannah bahng

cabo by ricky montgomery

im sorry i miss you by gracie abrams

"I'm so sorry."

"Baby, it's okay."

"But I hold yer hand every day, how do I not know what yer ring size is?" Atsumu groans, exasperated by himself.

His groceries have been hastily placed on the counter, dismissed in excitement to give you the gift that now taunts him with every slide between your first and second knuckles, metal and jewel your favourite colour glinting in the kitchen window's sunlight.

"I don't think the regular person can figure out a ring size through that," you try to comfort him. "Besides, we can probably get it resized somewhere."

Unmoved, your boyfriend pulls out his phone, frown still etched onto his face while he starts to type.

You wait a second before asking, "What are you doing?"

"Lookin' up how to measure ring sizes."

"Now?"

"Well we know I'm gonna need it for a much more expensive ring later so I might as well figure it out now," he says with a casuality that nearly knocks you off your feet.

"Wait—"

By the time you process his words, Atsumu's already screenshotted a tutorial and is walking to the home office, the groceries left for something infinitely more important in his mind. "Do we have a ruler?"

The Punishing Heat spot art for @ifishouldvanish in @castlevaniaszn

Go check out the zine here!

Also here's a tiny peek at my exploration/research stage! I have to give major props to Vanish for giving me a lot of the groundwork to go off. I would've been so lost on where to start without them providing a ton of resources for me!
