Movement Restriction Order day-25, I think.
It's Sunday today and last Friday the government announced an extension to the MRO in Malaysia until 28th April and I'm like partly 'oh, that was expected since the number of cases have been plateau and they expected the virus to peak mid-April' and another part was like 'oh, demn'. I was like down the whole day, mostly cuz I miss my bae and I wanna see him, and I prefer to work from office tbh, working from home doesn't work for me as much...my productivity is not at 100% if you ask me, and I do prefer face to face meetings because well, communication issues...but I do like the fact that I can wake up later and 'reach home' earlier than usual. The government are doing awesome (albeit some people who are coming up with weird ideas like Doraemon and TikTok contests) and I truly appreciate that and am doing my best to support them. Right before COVID-19 hit Malaysia hard, the politics were in turmoil and ended up our current PM was chosen to step up by YDP Agung and he received this huge responsibility in this very trying times. Me, being me, didn't really take much interest in politics - mainly cuz I tried to understand it but just ended up seeing the worst of humans so I decided not to give a shit. Mom was like 'it is your social responsibility to know' and I'm sorry mom, not this time. Anyway, our current PM, I don't know you well, but my heart goes out to you in your efforts to govern this country in this struggling time and you have been doing so so so well and please take care of your health too cuz what I heard, he just recovered from a bout of sickness as well.

Onwards.
I'm addicted to coffee. No shit. I need to have coffee daily, and not the instant one, I needed proper coffee so I bought some grounded beans and brought out the old espresso machine out and it's working so far. It's been a day, lol. I mean, I've been having dalgona coffee for almost everyday in the last 3 weeks, and the amount of sugar I consume on the daily is concerning. My eczema have been flaring up and it means my sugar levels are quite on the high level as the bacterias are zooming about my blood vessels and multiplying and spreading faster before my antibody can kill them so it is a concern. How do I know? My wrists starts to get itchy and now it's all bloody and wounded and it's not nice man and my whole body at days feels itchy - like directly under my skin, so yeah. It's not comfortable. Hence tryna cut the dalgona and cut the desserts and cut the chocolates. Thing is, now that I've got the espresso machine out, I realize again that I need some equipments , like the milk frother jug and shot glasses. And good milk. I had some from MilkLab, but had used up the last of it yesterday and we only have HL milk and I tried to use that and it didn't taste as good. HL was nice with dalgona but not with the espresso one. But there's still 2 cartons of HL milk so I don't wanna buy more and waste this one, esp not in this time where produce is sacred.
Mom bought a bread maker as well, cuz she was influenced by my aunties but guess who's making em? Moi. As with the juice maker. It's only me making juices for parents else nobody touched the damn juice maker. Well, but I volunteered cuz I was having juice everyday at work - like proper cold-pressed juice, so I was all happy to have it at home, but bread maker? BREAD maker. I don't even like bread that much. Family eats a lot of bread tho - currently we still have a loaf of Gardenia so I'm not making any bread now, atleast until that one is almost finished. Jangan membazir.
I did look up bread recipes dy tho muhaha.
I am mostly pishang because I miss bae. I wanna see him and hang out and eat and do what we do. We are not much texters, and calls have their limits too. Told him we shud've gotten married earlier this year but yeahla who knew we are going to be under pandemic outbreak, jadi bertabah sahaja lah. My house also no news. And I hope we can get it by June, so I can start checking and renovate and decorate. I realized that in my head, my house kinda has a lot of plants. Plants and cats tho. I plan to have Miso with me, since she likes to be alone so maybe she'll be happy to start over in a house without any other catto. Parents can keep Kiki and family but I dunno if bae has any cats he wanna bring over so gotta consider that too.
These days I slept late (1 AM is considered late for me la) and wake up and try not to sleep back after Subuh prayers too but seems like okay ish. Cuz usually 11pm I'm bonkers already. Tired la from commuting then full if I have dinner as well. It's weekend and I'm supposed to finish Killing Commendatore, but I'm still at 65% of the book. Not that it ceases to be interesting, but I've been distracted with cats on TikTok. It's just sooo cute. So so so so so cute. I will review Killing Commendatore of course, once finished. Somehow, I have very less interest in reading western books, of any genre these days. I like Japanese literature, and I like writings by Murakami and Ruth Ozeki. I've been trying to find something like 'Memoirs of A Geisha' but have not been successful. I read and re-read Memoirs of A Geisha because it was so well written and lovely, detailed but not to throw you off - as the nature of their occupation and how they came into being one. The writer (not Japanese) portrayed them beautifully. I still like reading, it's just that nowadays it's hard to find a book that hooks me. Murakami is one of those and I've been keeping a collection of his books to read. Whenever I go to Kino or Borders or BBW, I tend to want to buy - but it will be on my shelf for a while. There was that phase where I was into fantasy realms and sci-fi - I think that was when Zuhair introduced me to it, and was hooked and every time we met we just talked about books and characters and it was so much fun cuz it's not always you find someone to talk about books like that. Very little people in my life that I had that kind of connection. I think, roughly 3-4 people? Now we don't talk much anymore. He started to going into investigative criminal books and I started working and had less time to read so now when we meet, we hardly talk. Oh, I just remembered. He introduced me to Percy Jackson and yes it was neat af to learn about Greek myths and Rick Riordan always had a fun spin to things, and he goes into all the other ethnicities as well, like Egyptian myths and what not. That's how I have bits of pieces of info in my head, I guess.
Almost 8 am now.
I miss nasi lemak. A really good one, wrapped in banana leaf.
Uwu.
