July 9th

So today was another uneventful day. My aunt came around to do some cleaning. And it was just a day for hanging 'round since it was so hot.

Anyways, my mom and I went and took a little walk to Wellcome (the 24/7 one that's a bit farther from the basement one) -- it was hot (thankfully, it wasn't very humid. This made it bearably hot, haha). We bought some fruit, ice cream (Rose & Lavender; Mango with nata de coco and small pearl tapicoa; milk tea & red bean; tofu & sesame; red bean), snacks, and some drinks. There was a nice saleslady who chatted with us for half an hour; the whole ordeal was very happifying. :) I love nice people -- it may be a ploy to gain more customers/get people to buy things, but I like the fact that there are nice workers.

Anyways. We came back with the groceries at about 1. But we wanted to wait for my aunt to finish (we wanted to all eat together). However, she wasn't ready 'til 1:50, at which time none of us were hungry anymore... So we decided to skip lunch entirely. (I ate some food anyways, but it wasn't enough to constitute as a meal.)
And so we chilled for a bit -- my mom and I played Chinese chess, which I find considerably harder because not every piece can move across the board. And then my aunt eventually peaced.

After a while, my mom decided to buy some "sheet sugar" (片糖) to make winter melon drink. So she bought some at the open-air market nearby and came back to make this drink. And so she let the pot sit for a while, and we watched Amadeus for a bit. But then she got busy, so I had to pause. And so I did some hanging with my brother.

And then dinner came, and my dad came back from a business trip soon after. And then the night passed with routine stuff, and my mom and I never finished Amadeus, sad...
Oh well... It was good so far, though. I'll see if I can watch with her tomorrow. :)

Anyways, that's it for today. Sorry that I've not been doing anything spectacular as of late. I feel like this is my resting week... for now.
But I'll catchya later.
