It's now February. Lots happened since my last post.

Life/family

Fought my bank for more than a month and got my money back (their app disappeared some of my money through a "Piggy Bank" feature that disappeared), so now I have book funds! But this has been a background stressor for a bit because I hate having to continuously follow-up with the bank to find out the status of my money. It's not a huge amount, but it's still RM1000+ and that can feed me for a whole month (more if I am frugal)!

Games

I caught up with the archon quest in Genshin Impact. It's enjoyable enough but I'm definitely not really feeling the magic of early Genshin anymore. Dottore was fun though. 10/10 will get kidnapped again.

I also started playing Arknights Endfield and I've been utterly consumed by it. The factory gameplay is incredibly fun! I didn't even know I'd enjoy this factory style game (but I do have a friend who immediately pinged me as someone who would enjoy this type of game a lot). I'm advancing the main story quest just to unlock more factory things (new mining spots, new outposts, etc.). And I love that you can make the whole map into a tower defense (or is it tower offense if you put weapons everywhere? XD). I know this gameplay is very polarizing, but those I know who like it really, really like it.

I'm also still playing Where Winds Meet but I really cannot main two games. I'll prob just switch between these two in terms of time investment and energy level. This game takes more time and energy because it's hard to just stop halfway to attend to my mother.

Other things

Huffing a cat is the key to getting rid of excess stress (be careful of the cat's paws when they get annoyed though!). Seriously, having a cat has been great. I can sit with her when I'm feeling frustrated, stressed, worried, etc.

I'm visiting Vietnam for the first time in March. Very excited to see my housemate again! And excited to try all the foods, see the sights, take in the vibes and all that! Will be staying with her family, so I'm gonna start collecting a bunch of gifts to give when I see them. Also time to start learning Vietnamese beyond Vietnamese food names and greetings XD;;
