Signal is back up so workplace gossip is back on again #catchmeifyoucan

Why am I so tired?😴

My phone operator says it will give me 5G upgrade for free if I pay 1 buck for the esim, which feels like a scam cos last month I did that, paid 1 bucks to switch my plan to 5G which came with 8gb international roaming, then I told them to move me back to my 4G plan again (cos it is half the […]

Made a MASSIVE bowl of rice porridge, and musuko finished it (surprised). That was 5pmz he just had a sunny side up and a cup of warm milo (hot chocolate). I always knew my son would eat me into debt so lucky we only have one kid.

Well things have gone down (did not realise actually, been busy with musuko cos it is a holiday here) but happy famichiki apparently did not?

Saw a family out eating lunch just now with a large pet stroller, inside which sat FOUR DUCKS. 2 brown and 2 white, ribboned and everything. Musuko and his cousin ran too near to stare at them but they were all calm and one stood up to eye them curiously but ducks! In Singapore!

Took the plaster off my stitches cos it was starting to itch, and I think it was supposed to come off by tomorrow anyway. And wtf it is double the size I thought it would be (can’t see cos it is on the back of my shoulder blade and been covered by the hospital plaster). I mean ok, it was day […]

Finally, guess I can scare myself this long weekend #silenthillf

Instead of fretting over the work I have not done before the long weekend, my brain has decided I need to explore what Hobonichi diaries are.

My office inbox currently has 10,352 emails.

Very interesting… my cat is vomiting in the litter box. How considerate.

Somebody ordered lunch and it is going to be delivered by 10.30am. Me. (I am done with this work week).

I keep micro dozing. 😴

Have to wait again till next Tuesday for Silent Hill f 2nd batch to arrive in my game store. Shop guy asked if I wanted to know the ending. Cheeky

I stepped on a tiny glass shard in my parents’ house which left a pin-prick sized puncture in my foot which started bleeding. Sis and mum have no idea where the glass came from. Bizarre. And now that I have offered another blood sacrifice can the universe just leave me in peace for the rest of […]

I want to create a new hashtag on mastodon #musicalinstrumentstravellingonplanes https://www.instagram.com/p/DN8s7XpiEq5/?igsh=MWhjOHYwN29qcjdxNg==

These little guys from UK have a long walk to go #pikmin

7am meeting and i was putting on sunblock when I wondered, wait, have I brushed my teeth? Meeting supposed to end 11pm tonight, yay! Ha. Did not even get to post this and meeting was cancelled.

Famichiki fam, is anyone aware of any potential freelance opportunities (web/software development) starting December/January that are part time or less? #fedihire opportunity are overwhelmingly Europe/US based 🥲

Very impressive manspreading on this bus

Heading back to see the kind nurses at the general hospital to figure out if I have already burst my new stitches *didn't even last 12 hours*

Some pics from the silly expensive camera I brought along to Sussex and Scotland: https://pix.famichiki.jp/p/ketchuplionheart/883203100126989920

I moved to an iPhone for the first time ever last December and these moments are getting rarer - but here I am trying to figure out how to upload an only-2mb profile picture onto my new pixelfed account but NO. iOS CANNOT DO RESIZING OF PICTURE. So once again: why are you so useless sometimes […]

Where do people post their photos now? I long ago stopped updating flickr and instagram just annoys me. Is everyone now self hosting?

The only way I can play the PS5 is when musuko is playing his ipad (typically weekends, 6 to 7pm, right now he keeps playing Terra Nil). Just the opening of Yotei scared him so I can only put on Blue Prince, but the puzzles have really got me addicted. Still cannot crack the game though. #Gaming

Lol ex-colleague just called Japan her favourite South East Asia country on her insta story and i want to dieeeeeee hahahahahahah

Frankenfinger update. Was trying to figure out how much I have improved today cos they told me 30 degrees but.. ok 20. So active bend is 80 today. 10 degrees to go but my hand therapist says not bad considering I was on holiday! And she managed to passive bend it past 90 she said. So. Just […]

TELL THIS TO MY IT GUYS this week they cleverly sent us all a phishing attempt with “<your boss’s name> added you to a group” and as far as I know a huge number of people fell for it. I did. First time I think. As gossip that we are going to be laid off again, round 6 or something, I don’t know […]

Ok at least tonight’s meeting started on time and was pretty productive!! But I am off to bed. Need. Sleep. Yotei tomorrow.

You know when in Sussex i received 2 sudden sms saying I had been charged 322 pounds twice by LGWCY PMS and I immediately panicked and had to figure out how to call my bank for fraud on my card. Turns out it was bloody Gatwick Courtyard Marriott. LGW is the airport code, of course! Curses on […]

Office friends were asking me how do I find time to play video games and my short answer is always “don’t sleep”. The longer answer is that I have finite spare time juggling this abysmal job and being mama to only-one-musuko which I spend in bursts of time reading ferociously or playing a game […]

The meetings started at 6.30am this morning but those were actually productive/work related while the cursed meeting at 10.30pm later is a bloody status update waste of time. I am tired thanks to jetlag and really wish they would stop insisting I join this meeting.

Damn Silent Hill F sold out. Placed a deposit for 2nd shipment. Got Ghost of Totei in mean time. #Gaming

Dad can’t find the Scotland magnets he got so he immediately presumed the kid who sat next to him in the plane nicked them. I was like.. if something valuable, maybe, but who swipes magnets?? This is the magnet, he found them after:

Does *this* loop?

OH. I am back. The gameshop is downstairs (and across the road). Time to look for horror games.

I am tired but cannot really sleep. And musuko is up cos he is hungry. Cannhear him chattering away to my husband downstairs. #jetlag

Back in our comfy bed (I did not remember it being so comfy!) and grateful musuko could conk out at his normal bedtime. Anyway my cat just came in to shout at us just cos he can!

LANDED

“Unforeseen transit from London Gatwick” //who// is this smooth Singaporean crew member.

Ladies and gentleman, we are finally on the fucking A380 that will be bringing us home. A bunch of HK travellers on the same cursed plane chimed that this was “final day - tour of London’s international airports”. :dickbutt: Where is the alcohol.

After a lot of walking around Gatwick and confusion as to where the chartered buses were supposed to pick us up (led by the SQ team themselves ha) we are finally on the bus to Heathrow. Musuko is holding up so so. He was starting to lose his temper but after […] [Original post on famichiki.jp]

Uh the crew is hustling. They said confirm. Wrap it up wrap it up (in Cantonese). But fly or??

Almost the whole family is tethered to my personal hotspot on the plane now. There are 7 of us. Thank goodness I have 4gb roaming left. Also thank goodness I carried the right cable to use on the plane. This plane isn’t so bad - it has a universal powerpoint […] [Original post on famichiki.jp]

Looks like I won’t be back at work on Monday…

Still no GPS. Oh no.

Still no word on whether we are flying today or not (ha!) but let me share this gem in the gift shop at Culloden.

1 hour after scheduled departure time we are still sitting here as the GPS of the plane is not connecting!! Managed to avoid all plane delays this trip despite rough weather, guess luck is limited.
