I remembered last year I said something about letting July be July and did not blog for the whole month (I might be wrong due to recall bias) and I also listened to a song with “July” in it. It all feels like it was just yesterday but it was a year ago. This July seems to be a wonderful one.
1/7 - The beginning of our home! Thank you to our families for their support and I believe the new environment will bring more luck to the both of us!
2/7 - given a free study day without having to take my own leaves. I think having a free day means a great deal as my mind is free and I get to focus just on study and not think about work. I still cannot work and study simultaneously like most of my colleagues.
3/7 - Business finds me. It is always lovely when my time spent doing the things I love is reciprocated with money. Besides I am giving lots of value and it feels good when that energy bounce back in the form of money. I think it is the best way to feel appreciated. Oh I pocketed more than 2 nights of weekend calls worth of money from someone who used to be mean to me. I am still feeling rather gleeful about it because if he was a proper person in the first place, I wouldn’t even take a single cent from him. It’s amazing to witness how some people are left with no choice but to seek help from the person they were mean to before and put themselves in such a vulnerable spot. Moral of the story is never be mean to others as you never know when you will require help from the other party. Thank you universe for turning the tables and although I never thought about “revenge”, it felt really good to make him pay.
4/7- Impromptu travel to experience our home. Never expect to hitch a ride on a very comfy Velfire. The owner is really into cars and maintenance of cars, I thought it was a brand new car but it was not yet it was the most comfortable ride I ever had to Cameron Highlands. Thankful that 宝贝 don’t have to travel far to pick me up and very grateful for my college’s kindness.
5/7 - waking up making purchases on Shopee for our home, didn’t know picking patterns for the kitchen floor mats can be a fun activity. 宝贝 picked a pattern with stones arranged in the shape of footprints as he think it reminds him of nature. I personally would have selected the pink and gold marbled appearance but I think since he will be staying all the time there, I decided to let him pick. It is also through this activity I get to know more of his tastes. I also bought mint and grey coloured beddings for the single bed for the guest room and wonder how will it look as I decided to buy different colours. Mint green sheets with grey pillow and quilt. Ate my favourite 麻辣锅, mixed platter of chicken chop, lamb chop and fish fillet, drank peach tea.
6/7 - housewife for a day! Made 2 basque burn cheesecake, oven baked lamb chops and plant collagen drink using peach gum (桃胶）， gum karaya (雪燕） and snow lotus seed (皂角米). Sweep and mop the house. Removed all the new sheets that needed washing and airing out the room with the new cupboard. The New cupboard smells of chemicals, likely formaldehyde used for the wood treatment and I think 宝贝 must be so tired he never notice the smell and was still able to sleep while I can’t. Felt so proud of myself as all the things I made was a success. Actually I don’t think it is possible to fail if anyone uses an oven to cook. I had a little “princess tantrum” when I asked him if he was okay and he was a little snappy, just a little but still I don’t like snappy so I sulked a little which subsided real quickly. I wonder why he doesn’t like me asking “are you okay?” and told me that he is always okay. Actually I just asked as I thought he looked like he was deep in thoughts. Anyway I was annoyed with the snappy aura and told him “fine, I don’t like the tone, I don’t want to bother you anymore and after this I’m going to play games on my phone.” However he apologise and my temper subside as he wiped off some garlic butter sauce from the corners of my mouth. Our dinner by me was really yummy and we held hands and close our eyes and visualise a life where we could do more of the things that make us happy and that we could enjoy life together. After that we spent time cuddling on the sofa that we have dreamed about years ago. We didn’t realise we are living our goals until I told him that if he listen to me and bought the other cheaper sofa we will not be able to lie down comfortably and cuddle each other. Then it dawn upon me that we have always wanted a sofa where it is comfortable for two person to lie down. I’m glad he did not listen to me and get the cheaper sofa as I forgot to consider about the functionality and did not put much thought to it when he asked me for an opinion. Somehow my heart feels sweet when I recalled the conversation.
“宝贝，就买那个便宜的，我们不是超越了我们的 budget 吗？”
“可是这个可以把脚伸直，也比较宽，你过来时我可以和你躺在沙发上抱抱。”
“额，可是我就是不要你整天放工就在沙发上躺着然后在沙发上睡着。”
“我不会的， 我们就买这个舒服的沙发吧。”
“嗯， 就随你吧，“
Dreams do come true and when they do it feels rather surreal.
7/7 - We started using the front loading washing machine we bought. It was quite an experience as we have never own a front load washer all our lives and it was fun fixing the pipe and watching intently as water fills in and our clothes get washed. Took the cake I baked to share with all his workers and they said it was nice and the only problem was it was too small. Oh well the next time I will make more. They packed for me lots of fresh vegetables again and 10kg of yacon to distribute to my friends. Really felt touched as all the handpicked items were inspected for any snails/ slugs or worms as I told them I am really afraid of those.
I started to see a lot of 1111 again. Thank you universe for always making me feel reassured. Even if it is not so smart to associate 1111 with important life events, I still prefer to believe in divine guidance.
I feel much better now that it starts to rain and it’s time for me to go into a deep sleep and wake up fresh and ready to seize all opportunities that arise within my reach!
