Another Day Out

Yesterday we went to meet with my mom's friend to look at Apple smartwatch. My mom wants one in case of fall or emergency as her muscle loss has been severe since the cancer prevent her from exercising enough and the chemotherapy is preventing her from eating enough. 

We ate at the food court and I got crab roe noodles!!




$288 for this set. It taste pretty good ~

My sister and I then went to 中山 area to go shopping. There are little pop up market on weekends. I didn't anything I like this time though. 


We got two Dubai chocolate sweets. One was called a soft cookie and one a daifuku.

The daifuku

I should probably try just plain Dubai chocolate at some point haha!

Tried the $65 daifuku first. Nice mochi skin and crisp filling, but not much pistachio flavor at all. I like the texture overall but the flavor is lacking. 


Later tried the "soft cookie" which was basically the name thing. How is this a cookie???

The skin was much thinner and filling much creamier. At $110 it's really expensive for how small it is but the filling was truly delicious!!  The pistachio flavor come through ~~

Also took this random snap:


We went to a few more shops and I almost bought a journal with a pretty cover art but the inside pages had lines I didn't like. I prefer dotted or grid or blank!
Also considered a set of press-on nails with guinea pig faces but $590 is a lot more than I usually spend on nails... 


My sister bought some clothes and I took a photo of this inspirational (?) message 

We took a break at a café in the late afternoon. I was actually feeling a bit unwell after poor sleep and too many sweets haha!  Tried the onion rings but they don't contain real onion slice, unfortunately. 

The souffle pancakes were nice though! I only had one bite and then sipped my Americano while my sister finish it. 

I tried to sleep early but once again was unable to... And this morning I had DnD so I got up at 6:30. I'm exhausted!


Thank you for reading! Blogging sometimes feel pointless but I suppose if it helps me remember things, it's worth doing. I've also been junk journaling in a diary method, so maybe I'll share some photos of pages. It's not as elaborate as social media examples, but I hope to improve!

  1. Hope Mama is doing okay! But I'm glad to see that you're still able to go do things together <3
    I love inspirational(?) and engrish things on clothes XD It never makes sense but it's great.
    Omg those pancakes look so amazing! And is that with boba pearls??? I would down that whole plate.
    I don't think blogging is ever pointless. It does help you remember things you would otherwise forget. That way if there was something you couldn't remember when it happened or how, you got the info at the touch of your fingertips. Or some great memories that you wanted to look back on. But I would love to see your junk journaling. I love seeing what everyone comes up with <3

      Thank you so much for your kind words, dear!
      That sweatshirt was from a Japanese vintage/secondhand import shops and I'm not 100% sure what it means, but like to pretend it is deep 😹😹😹

      YES it was boba milk tea flavor souffle pancakes!!!! Fusion foods can be really hit or miss but I'm happy to say this one worked well!

      Having seriously spotty memory has made me really want to do more physical and digital journaling for sure. When I realized I have virtually zero recollection of Tokyo Disney Sea I was truly gutted. I know I spent an entire day there but remember nothing. I didn't even take many photos as I was not in the habit of doing so back then, and it feels like I'm missing out on my own life! If life is but a series of memories and I lack majority of memories of my own experience, am I even living?

      I'll share some junk journal pages from time to time! I also tried doing deco cheki style photos but those are expensive to print and the machine I got (Printoss) major downside is that you can mess it up easily if you don't light it correctly as it's a physical photos, not a digital print
