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.

Hi Jerry, where is Tom?

 Hi, I am Jerry, the new boy.

I know I am handsome, and playful, and young.

Actually I am just a boy~~~
I need attention~

I joined the family in mid-July of 2021.
Lucky me?

I was really sad on the first day because my previous owner left me without saying goodbye.
I was scare at the new place.

But after awhile, I make myself at home,
jumping up the couch and bed, 
going out three times a day~
And meet some neighbourhood furkids friends~
I love to bark at them because I feel so excited and mad at the same time,
hmmm~

Because I want to be the handsomest dog in the neighbourhood,
woof woof woof~

Most of the time, I am just a boy, cute and moody once awhile.
Everyone loves me, I like it.

Guess I am going to stuck with this family for a very long while.
I have snacks, shower every week,
and I love the motorbike that brings me out!
Brum brum~~~

And the youngest lady always makes fun of me, 
she is crazy when she put all kinds of clothes, accessories on me.
But she always pet me and gives me good food, so I am good.

They sometimes call me Jelly, or Zierry~
Even Cherry!
Hello, Jerry sounds so cool okay, fits me well!

But anyway, I know when they call my name.
Even though sometimes they accidentally call me Nico, hmm...
It's ok.

I am a happy boy.
Stay tuned for more of #jerrydiary
I love you all.
Peace!

动漫之最爱十大

这个夏日,迎来了最怕的一万。

对,我们关了个寂寞,关了个傻逼,关来了一日突破一万宗新冠病例。

5月居家至7月中了,真的是得不偿失,也可以说是人财两失?

这世界到底是怎么了嘛?


在没办法旅游的期间,我最享受的就是精神旅游,视野旅游~

通过观赏日本动漫,用心体验日本人的生活与文化,顺便学一学日语。

这么说,至少我不会觉得自己浪费时间,哈哈!


看了那么多动漫,有几部实在是让我刻骨铭心的。

以下十大动漫是我很喜欢的,不妨参考:


1. 进击的巨人


不用说了,这就是让我疯狂极致的日版动漫神作,没有其二了。最终季快快来吧,虽然我已忍不住,先把漫画看了一遍~故事真的让人吐血,摧心肝,要暴毙了!没想到,我会喜欢这类动漫,因为它真的让人脑洞大开呀!作者谏山创,俗称创哥,是唯一我认识的动漫作家,真的太佩服他的脑力与细腻,为了更了解故事,我还追踪了巨人迷Youtube的故事解剖,真的。我还逼我妈子看巨人,她都受不了我了,哈哈!


2. 食戟之灵


这个动漫的发展也是很有惊喜的,从个人独战,到后来的团魂,真的很振奋人心。团队的魅力果然是让人难以抵挡。整部动漫就是关于烹饪,策划概念很强大。


3. 夏目友人帐


这部动漫虽然还没有完结,可是也是值得看一看。和鬼怪打交道的夏目,真的很温柔善良。如果要选个动漫男友,他很不错。喜欢剧情的日常叙述,还有生活的道理启发,节奏虽慢,但很感动,哭了好几回~另外,猫老师很可爱!


4. 水果篮子


这部有关12生肖的动漫也是让我耳目一新,有恋爱感觉的佳作。最近刚刚完结了,空虚啊~虽然猫小子没有纳入12生肖里,可是他是最窝心,最有动漫男友素质的小伙子,我爱!其余的,自己看吧!


5. 三月的狮子

这部友人再三推荐的动漫也是属于节奏比较慢的动漫,讲述下棋天才的孤单生活,也是有很多道理,很多唯美画面的动漫。这里的日本真的很漂亮,希望有一天能够亲身体验。另外,男主也是比较害羞善良的孩子,很想保护他~


6. 摇曳露营


这是第二部我最爱的纯女班动漫系列,讲述一群爱露营的女孩们以及她们在日本露营经历,好羡慕!一班好友结伴郊游的感觉真叫人怀念,不过当然日本的治安比较好,出外也比较安心。总结,喜欢写实动漫的人,这部很适合。这部疗愈系作品,还有真人版呢!


7. 悠哉日常大王

最写实的动漫就是它了!一群孩子们在日本乡下的悠哉生活日常,虽然节奏也是很慢,可是就很纯朴,纯真。孩子们的打闹与好奇心,让我想起小时候的自己,很喜欢这一部。


8.冰菓


偶然发现的这部动漫没有很长,可是男主和女主也太可爱了。男主是推理高手,女主是富家子女,两人的互动,到最后的羞涩告白,只能说这是我看过最浪漫的告白了。好看!


9. K-On 轻音


多年前看过了,可是近期又再次看多一次,又飙泪了。这是我最爱的全女班动漫系列,讲述一群女中学生组乐团的故事,喜怒哀乐,唤起了我对中学时期的回忆,浓浓的团魂,还有毕业时的悲欢离合,真的感触满满。因为是乐团的动漫,所以也很喜欢她们的歌曲,尤其是最后为小学妹而写的歌曲,我哭惨了。经典必看!然后,我也想把吉他学起来,感谢女主启发~


10. 魔卡少女樱


好吧,这一部儿时的动漫启蒙,现在还是很喜欢的。可是,下一季什么时候会完成啊?动漫男友其一,小狼!纯纯的喜欢,那纯纯的爱。小樱和小狼的故事,最扣人心弦~了解动漫的美好,从这里开始。


就这样,我的精神寄托~

在这么漫长无奈的等待里,还是得学会如何纾解压力,进步自己。

感谢动漫的陪伴,我也一石二鸟,边看边手作了好多个塑料篮子。

疫情爆发至今,我看了至少50部长长短短的动漫,也是唯一让我坚持生活的寄托吧。


最后,额外推荐综艺节目《密室大逃脱》,也是让人脑洞大开,哭笑不得的好节目。


喜欢邓伦在里面的机智,还有胆小,因为我笑翻不知道多少回了~

其他玩家如Justin小贾也是我后来喜欢的玩家,

然后还有杨幂、大张伟、国伟等等玩家,团魂啊!

希望这个节目可以继续做下去,我喜欢悬疑又搞笑的成分,不过如果真的叫我玩密室,

我应该会崩溃吧~
