Before 2021 Ends...

话说,2021还有10天就要结束了,
我也终于甘愿到这里露一露脸,顺便记录一下过去的小日子。 
最近的生活真的是很平凡,除了工作,大部分的时间就只想躺平。
人生的30啊,原来可以这么过。

距离上次发文也有3个月之久,这3个月都干什么了?
我也记不起了,就只能看看照片库里有什么存档吧。
首先,有很多食物照,都是我自己做的食物。

 
饭团以及翻版上海小月饼

 
花式面包与小馒头,内含斑斓豆蓉~

 
Bagel和巧克力杯子蛋糕~
Bagel真的不简单,还要水煮加烘烤,是有点麻烦。

 

刈包三明治以及格子松饼


 
有馅面包和芝士面包块

 
从零开始的自制披萨,饼皮也是自制的。

 
自制番茄意大利酱料,还有很多没被记录的面类、饭类,还有汤等料理。
当然,不是每一次制作都是成功的,就好像这个刈包,很多是失败的。
但是失败了,我就想要再尝试,所以最近吃着吃着,体重也增加了不少。
2021年的日子,来来回回,都在研究吃的。
等我研究完毕,可能就会停下来了吧。

没想到快2年了,病毒还是没有停止传播,
虽然最近看到很多人都开始飞行了,但我还是没这个勇气啊~
因为怕死,因为觉得可以再等等,因为不着急,
所以暂时还是乖乖停留原地吧。
难过的是,加薪这回事,好像也跟着泡汤了,
政府部门啊,手头紧,这也没办法了。

年秒最后的3个月,心情也是复杂的,哪一刻不复杂呢?
烹饪,和撩狗的时候不复杂吧。
看我可爱又顽皮的狗狗~

快乐的日子,很多时候是因为它。

 
还记得居家办公的时候,它就是我的工作伙伴~
但它主要睡觉,我主要工作。

 
还有它的朋友们~可可和小吉~
也是很坏蛋的小家伙们~
有空就会过去和它们玩,但我平时都很懒惰出门的~

 
傻乎乎的傻仔~很喜欢人家摸它

 
也很爱睡觉,爱吃,爱跳,爱吠别人家的狗狗~

 
亮白的牙齿,可爱吗?

 
最近获得新床褥,所以它睡得很舒服,像大少爷一样~

应该是10月的时候,还带它去爬山~
可是因为这样,我们被隔离了,有随性的同伴染疫。
真的是悲剧~幸好最后大家都没事。
被隔离真的很讨厌,所以后来都变得很敏感,不敢乱出门了。

这里是荷花池,也是带大少爷出来逛的小区
虽然池里不算干净,但荷花出淤泥而不染,
真的很漂亮。

然后在11月的时候,公司决定全员归队,
所以居家办公的日子就结束了~
心里有点难过,有点不安,毕竟出去了,就是要面对更多病毒,
染疫的几率会更高,真的是无奈又无助。

11月结束,也象征着由我负责的一个活动项目也圆满结束,
心里开心又惆怅, 毕竟这正年有的是辛苦,但更多的是气愤与委屈。
所以我不喜欢太多人共事,因为真的很烦。
我也不是说团队不好,只是因为每个人有不同的想法,
每个人有各自的处事方式,意见不合的摩擦,真的很烦人。
事情或误会发生的时候,真的会很生气的,很不爽。
可能我的修炼不够,EQ不够高,但这样的活,下次别找我了吧。
领导这样的责任,我不在行的。
毕竟,我追求的是大家开心,若导致某一方不舒服,
我就会懊恼很长时间,我没办法。

总而言之,活动也算圆满结束,很感谢团队的包容与付出。

我就是个奇葩,每次的想法都和别人不一样,
我没办法成为别人认为的正常。
但随着在社会闯荡了多年,圆滑竟成为了最后的救命稻草。
不圆滑的话,就会满身是伤,所以到最后,
还是选择圆滑吧。
工作也只是工作,不是吗?
何必为难自己?

最后,小小的快乐,源自于花钱,花钱就是快乐!
花了钱,还有赠品,就更快乐!

我的圣诞礼物~
想说平时我比较吝啬,一毛不拔,但这个想了一年,终于还是买了!
从此应该也可以金盆洗手了。
话说,原来爱省钱也是一种兴趣,
二手货再利用也是一种兴趣,
如何省钱是一门学问,存下来的钱也才是真正的财富。
会赚,会花,不会省,不会存,到头来也是扑了个空。
所以这是我的两个新兴趣,我也认了。

最后的最后,是近期唯二的社交活动。
好久不见的学妹终于毕业了!
我也久违的当了一次摄影师,
然后发现,我的摄影技术退步了!!!
太久没帮人拍照,真的生疏了。

然后在2021结束前,秀一秀我近期唯一的自拍~
没什么,就觉得30岁这一年,真的有够废。
没有什么动力,即便想做的事一箩筐。
究竟是纪律的问题,还是动力的问题呢?
以前都太在乎别人想什么,别人会不会开心,
生日要送她/他什么,花心思筹备这个,建议那个,
来年这些都省起来吧,反正到最后真正在乎你的人也不过那几个。
沉淀这一年,清除生活中无益的人际关系,还有减少不必要的交际,
把自己放中心,好好把注意力放在自己身上吧。

这一年的成长,是要多关心自己,别让自己不开心太久。
然后,下次再见,应该就是2022了吧?
呵呵……

Summer Days 2021

 Yo.
It's been a while.
It is now my 7th month of being 30 years old...
I guess, it is not too bad after all.
Mixed feelings, but I am feeling ok.

2021 is another crazy year.
So far, my country is still having around 19-20k Covid-19 cases every day.
And the government changed AGAIN.
Urgh... tell me this is just a dream.
All kinds of nonsense and shit things happen,
more and more people die every day.

Working from home life is safer, 
but we still have to go back to the office once in a while.
Thank god I bought a foldable table for my working life.
Good purchase.

And I've been spending most of my time in my room in front of the working table.
Besides working, I eat and do my kinds of stuff there.
Watch anime, upcycle, and do a lot of decluttering.
And surprisingly, I am really into this:
Upcycle basket using foil line packaging!
Huhu, I am impressed by myself, and I love the outcome.
But most importantly, 
do you know how much plastic packaging is in here?
A LOT!

And some of the staples I used up to make the basket.
More than 20 boxes for sure.
I am buying more of these, in bulk.
Contact me if you want to learn how to make or purchase a basket.
It is really durable and all handmade.

Yea, my 30 years old is a bit boring, 
I did not do much because I am lost a little bit.
Something happened and I do not really want to talk about it.
But I need to stay positive and stay negative from Covid-19.
Friends are away from me, relatives that I miss too...
No vacation goals and life is boring.
I miss flying and those cute flight meals ~
Anyway, let's all stay safe for now and be stronger.

This summer, received some gifts and love.
Thank you for the kind gesture.
I love bottles and tumblers...
Thank you!

And products~~~
A best friend gave me a bottle of expensive essential oil too, so nice la~
Huhu...I love unboxing~
Who doesn't like it?

And lovely delivery from my bestie and her kids~
Mooncake~~yummy, I love it!
Thank you for remembering me guys, 
I am grateful, made my summer better.

And of course, another side of me loves to cook and bake.
For experimental purposes.
Here are my results:
Spaghetti with self-experimental bolognese sauce.
I love to create from scratch.

Cause I miss Siu Mai so much, tried to make my own vegetarian style,
but kinda fail, so yea~

Miss Tempura so much,
had to make my own, but the taste is so so.
How to make it crispier? 

One food that I am confident in making.
Mee Suar Kor without meat, yum yum!

Then something I love too, 
Cinamon rolls~~~
The one bread that I am confident too~

Then Italian doughnuts~with cream.
Hmm, good try but can be better~

Plain bread loaf, 
too dry huh, get hard easily after overnight.

Then garlic butter from scratch,
I am good at this.

Chocolate cookies, this is another failure though look good.

Miss sushi again, so bought the ingredients and just make it!
Yea, so far, I have made more than the above,
but I don't take photos for everything.


And dinner invitation from cousin,
can you believe that this is a non-meat western meal?
The "meat" slice taste like real meat, this is crazy!

Still visit my grandparents once in a while.
It's good that both of them were vaccinated.

And yea, it was aunt's birthday celebration dinner.
Spot my new friend?
Haha!

Oh well, they have their own new member as well.
Meet Coco, the noisy and playful furkid~

Then cousin's birthday~
Quick diner and celebration.

And more birthday celebrations online~
Miss seeing these faces in real~
Happy 30th birthday to all~~~

Last but not least, this summer, we all got vaccinated.
I was a bit scared at first but well.

But end up it was a quick one.
I got myself Pfizer~~thank you frontliners~
Got feverish and terrible headache after my 1st dose...

But the second one was better.
Now I am fully vaccinated! Yay!
But nope, we are still in a critical situation.
Stay alert and follow SOPs okie?

So summer is going to end soon...
It is mid-September now...
What is your plan for the rest of 2021?
Seriously I have no plan.
I just hope that my work and job will be smooth.
No increment this year due to bad economic effects,
so wait and see what is going to happen next year.
Yea, being 30 is just something normal.
And it is good that I've finally watched the singing show:
Sisters Who Make Waves - Season 1
Thank you to all the sisters in the show who inspired me a little bit.
It is never too late to challenge ourselves.
It is time to redefine who you are.
30 is just a new chapter, it is a new beginning.
Maybe I have not achieved anything at the moment,
but not everyone is successful at the age of 30.
I am always mad at myself when I do nothing and am not productive,
maybe I need to try harder and be more disciplined.
Anyway, it is a good show very inspiring.
I binge-watched it in just a few days really crazy.
Hopefully, I will achieve something different by the end of 2021.
Cross fingers.
  
Oh ya, 
meet the new member who keeps me busy every day.
 Mr. Jerry in the house yo~
Love you, muacks.
