Quarantine Diaries: (day4+5)

i basically had very horrible sleep because of…well i have a few theories. one, im having very horrible skin issues, it itches like crazy and even the meds don’t help fml. two, i was watching Dix Pour Cent on Netflix and i just really wanted to finish it, so i did, in five days, all four seasons with 6 eps each, each episodes averaging a 55 minutes, so i spent at least a whole day in my past five days here watching this series, insane!!!! on top of that i spent at least an hour on Brooklyn 99 too…now you know what happens in quarantine…

hari keempat

i slept a total of 4.5 hours, broken into a 2 hour sleep and 2.5 hour nap, to me, nap is what happens during the day after you officially woke up.

i now no longer remember what i did but it was a holiday in Germany so i was really glad that there were no classes (not like i attend them anyway). i only remember feeling like a zombie the entire day. had to do a homework which has to be turned in on fridays by 8 am GERMAN time, which is 2pm MALAYSIAN time ahahahha so i gave up trying, because i was a zombie. zombies don’t have brains, right? or do they eat brains? i have no idea.

oh i also finished reading a very fascinating book about true crime. i spent some time reading up on some of the crimes mentioned too.

top left: mihun!! finally! a little too salty but not bad. top right: so glad i started liking brinjals (aka eggplants/aubergines) since going to Germany because they serve it like, at least once a day. bottom left: dinner was pretty disappointing and i forgot to snap a picture when i first got it and i regretted not ordering dinner from Outside though i planned to. bottom right: this is part of breakfast and i thought they were grapes at first but hey, they are olives! fancyyyyyyyy but olives mostly suck….

hari kelima

the Ministry of Health stood me up!!!! they were supposed to come!!! they told me that!!! i was on standby mode the entire day for nothing!!!!

my 13L of water supply was drying up pretty quickly so i requested for more water and got 12L delivered. according to my calculations, this wouldn’t last me till the end of the quarantine but if they sent me another box, i would be left with too much water…

attended a tutorial hosted by a good friend and at night a meeting for the university project. slightly more productive day but the most productive part is finishing Dix Pour Cent vroom vroom.

bottom right: ordered my favourite beverage!!!
new water supply! along with the receipt of payment of the quarantine fees…had a tiny heart attack thinking that 12 litres of water costs over 2k MYR….
