Did you know?
One slice of a 10" pizza (about 90g) is over 200 kcal.
I didn't know and ate 5 slices for lunch today! It felt so light while eating it, like I was on a diet! #sketchbook #絵日記 #スケッチブック #sketchdiary #pizza #手账 #learnjapanese #caloriecounting #pencildrawing

Went to the bank to activate their app. Mildly annoyed by the demand of showing up at an actual physical location, but I have to admit — this bank made me feel safe.

The queue was so short. I only managed a quick sketch of one person before it was my turn. ✏️

I went to the market and wrote a diary entry about what I bought. In Chinese, this kind of writing is called 流水账 — recording everything like an account book. But given how limited my Japanese is, I felt quite accomplished just by writing “spinach” and “onion.” #sketchbook #絵日記 #スケッチブック #手账 #sketch

Selamat Hari Malaysia!
Every year I hang the flag below my window from late August until after Malaysia Day. But this year I forgot. Still, a celebration is in order for the birthday of Malaysia— let me eat cake!!🎊 #sketchbook #絵日記 #スケッチブック #malaysiaday #harimalaysia #kukedesserterie #chocolatecake

Chagee--> slept only 2 hours. Sometimes I wonder my love for it come with too high a price. Had Tie Guan Yin special this time, call me traditionalist, but I prefer it milkless and sugarless, even though milky is not bad. I like my milk tea floral or fruity.

PESE every 3weeks even I pace carefully, milder nowadays but still,
1-2 days of low grade fever. Dejected usually.... this time I employ the Power of Beauty Ritual!! A facial mask can kill a few hours while resting totally, and yield glowing complexion! #longcovid #sketchbook #sketchdiary #PESE

Sold old fridge to the 2nd hand fridge shop nearby for RM10. The guy couldn't believe his good luck; I supposed he could fix it easily and resell at a substantial margin. I, was just happy I didn't have to PAY someone RM30 to dispose it. He happy, I happy. Everyone happy #fridge #japanesediary

I have lots of lined notebooks—freebies with sponsor logos. But I ordered blank ones so I can illustrate them.

Writing like a kid gets dull… More entertainment needed!
When I was seven, I illustrated my Chinese diary too. Don't know if my teacher was entertained, but I was! #notebook #diary

Fridge died. It was with me for 19 years. Caught me by surprise. To me, fridges never die! The fridge in my parents home is 47 years old and still going. #learnJapanese #AI #ChatGPTlearnlanguage #handwrittendiary #diary

#Jalapeño + cheese, my fav combo!
My go-to Hong Kong–style baked rice:
Cook rice
Marinate chicken (salt + garam masala + brown sugar)
Air-fry 200°C ~15min ( or till browned)
In a deep plate, layer rice → chicken → jalapeños +cheese
Air-fry again 160°C 5–7min (covered, or cheese goes flying)

Been learning Japanese to improve my brain. More than 1.5 year later, I was in the middle of JLPTN4. Then one day I got struck by thunderbolt! In the form of a video of an American guy interviewing two Africans in their respective African languages in Japan.😮 😮😮
