Trying to sell off my Swedish language book and some dude messaged me to say he’s in City A and will want the books. I’m in City B, a good 6 hour drive away. Like come on, this scam is too obvious.

I think I’m going to give up knitting and just stick with crochet. It’s just so hard and there are so few videos out there that’s good for a lefty.

I was not expecting drama in the craft group but there you go. It’s from a lady that I thought was ok on our first meet up then got some weird vibes that I couldn’t shake off after the second meet up. Guess it’s a good thing she decided to leave? But drama drama drama.

Always slightly amused when people hear I’m moving back & are surprised. My country is not perfect but it’s also not a shitty country, why wouldn’t I move back. Yes where I am is considered one of the best places in Europe to be but it’s also not utopia? Why wouldn’t I move back where I have a life

I've reached the stage where, apart from the political, racist and misogynist hate, I'm wary of travelling to the US because I'm afraid the plane will fall out of the sky before I even have the chance to clear immigration and be subject to political, racist or misogynist hate

For some reason our Disney+ was set to Hong Kong yesterday and so we watched the Cantonese version of Frozen out of curiosity. Let It Go sung in Cantonese was honestly so weird… and I’ve forgotten a lot of Cantonese phrases so it really took a while to register the lyrics.

TIL that abortions are illegal in Germany. Like what….. there are some loopholes but seriously it should just be legal.

Finally sat down and tried knitting and tbh I think I much prefer crochet. The two needles are a bit too fiddly.

Sorry not sorry that I laughed that the MFA director-general lost his appeal and has to go to jail for 1 week. IT IS ONE WEEK LAH AIYOH, first day is you go surrender and processing, last day is also processing your release so it’s only 5 days in jail. Anyway his senior counsel totally profited

Currently watching Blossoms Shanghai which is directed by Wong Kar Wai, wah the 90s feel is such a throwback. The songs, fashion etc. Also interesting how there are similarities with Singapore. It mentioned that they have a 大马路，四马路 in Shanghai and I’m like what we have that in Singapore as well

Apparently it’s semla day. Thought we’ll go to a bakery we haven’t been in a while and the queue was insane. Tried another bakery with a slightly shorter queue. No I still don’t like semla, it’s ok not something I go crazy for.

Forgot my phone at my piano teacher’s apt cos I took it out to record her playing a piece that I’m learning. Went to a restaurant to ask if I could borrow their phone and the staff kindly let me use their phone. Tried calling myself but I think it didn’t ring since it was connected to my watch.

We’ll definitely be getting a cat when we move back to Singapore. Was thinking it would be really funny if we gave our cat a super Chinese name since most of the time in Singapore, pets have English or food names.

There was a mass shooting at a town where I am yesterday. When I read the news, all I can think of is that I hope the perpetrator is not an immigrant, there’s enough anti immigrant rhetoric I don’t need this to add to that.

If you told me in my 20s that I would spend almost 2 hours in a gym working out and lifting weights I would have rolled my eyes at you but that’s what I’m doing regularly nowadays.

Saw this and I’m so glad I stopped Duolingo. I wasn’t a paying customer but I got fed up with the way the Swedish lessons worked and decided I knew enough basics to survive - www.reddit.com/r/duolingo/s...
