Saw a tree on my way to the TCM clinic yesterday; it was the triangle-est tree I ever seen.

For some reasons, my island has a lot of smug villagers: Marshall, Raymond, Chops, and Lionel. I did design my island as normal as possible (less/no custom designs) and as natural as possible (natural + cottage core-ish with multiple parks, seating areas, and camping areas.) I wonder if those smug villagers are those city bois looking for a peaceful life on an island, ahah.
That said, I’m actually not expecting them to get along well with the rest of the villagers (except with, perhaps, normal and lazy-types), so imagine my surprise seeing Raymond at Gaston’s house. Gaston is one of the grumpies, so imagine a meeting between finance bros/influencer and your grumpy grandpa, hahah.
Gaston was also a host for Sasha, one of the lazy villagers. This is one of the unexpected combos, mostly because Sasha can be… slightly up in the clouds. That said, it feels like seeing a grandpa with one of his grandchildren.
They are so cute omagash Another unexpected combo: A smug (Marshall) and a lazy (Filbert). It’s like having a lifestyle/coffee influencer meeting a mukbang influencer 😂 I’m not sure how Marshall feels about Filbert’s house, mostly because Filbert has been pretty open in saying that his house is filled with bugs.
That said, it seems like they are quite buddies, because I saw them having karaoke on the island townhall area, together with Chops.
Groufie time! It seems like Marshall has a sweet spot for the lazy folks, because here he is, a host for Sasha.
KK jam-session every Saturday evening As for me, I have been enjoying watching falling stars by the pier…
… and watching aurora borealis.

This year’s February is a funky month — or as Malaysian netizens said, “the Truly Malaysia month this year ma.” We had Federal Territory Day and Thaipusam on the same date, February 1, so we had a long weekend from January 30 to February 2. For the upcoming events, we are going to have Lunar New Year, immediately followed with Ramadan and Lent.
We stayed at KL, and while a lot of tourists spots are packed, it was still quite okay-ish. I finished “Love Between Lines” C-drama (28 episodes), and I have been enjoying it! I didn’t have anything bad to say, hahah. Lu Yuxiao as the main female character has been so superb in her acting; it feels “controlled”, in a really good way. She managed to deliver a cute, charming, and warm character without being a “pouty girl”. Her acting screams skills and character depth. Also, since this is a C-drama, viewers are always spoiled by cinematic and wide shots.
I love the contrasts in this shot. The left side (alley/hallway) v. The right side (the picture) 
Not a wide shot but I love this shot. The “double”-feelings when the character feels deep sadness. That kind of uneasiness and unsettling emotions were conveyed nicely here We also had a quick visit to the Kinokuniya Bookstore Suria KLCC as Rey wanted to buy an edition of “Diary of the Wimpy Kid”. On the store’s second floor, there is a cafe: O’Coffee Club. This cafe is one of my favorites, and my particular drink to go is their Peach Sunrise: Tea (pu er, so it’s light and nice for your digestion), peach puree, and lemonade.
And a seafood platter at TGI Fridays.
We couldn’t finish the whole thing, so I asked the staff for to-go, and I had their fried fish for my fish fillet sandwich for breakfast on the next day. Yum!
Also, note to self: Be more careful when buying “stickers” from KKV 🥲 Yes, the stuffs are super cute and some are actually good quality, but what I thought was stickers are actually adhesive tapes (my bad, I didn’t read the label carefully when browsing), which means I need to cut the area I want then peel them. While I’m generally okay doing so, having a different expectation was quite surprising, hahah.
