下午的时候出去想换套餐，结果说没有 50 的 credit 了。然后作罢，去 1 元店买了一个漏勺。

回来吃了炒饭和小蛋糕。

最近实在太堕落了。

I want to have a good relaxing.

08:36 Woke up early

Not only did I not sleep well, I also woke up very early. I felt groggy all day, didn’t want to do anything, and couldn’t fall asleep even though I wanted to.

12:47 Conflict with Huan

I wanted to continue sleeping more, but I can’t fall asleep.I got up and quickly made myself something to eat.Huan and I had a fight last night. Every time we argue, it drains our energy.

I played games for over an hour this afternoon, but I didn’t feel any joy.Utterly disappointed, I uninstalled the game. I had a pent-up emotion I wanted to release, but I didn’t know how. So I slapped myself hard twice.

That evening, I told Huanhuan about a possible solution.Perhaps we can reduce communication, especially voice or video communication.This is too easy to cause conflict.

The crucial point is to prioritize our sleep.

After lunch, I did some chores—showering, washing my dirty clothes and socks, and prepping my lunch for tomorrow. Just like that, the day passed by in a haze.

I was shocked to see that my screen time today reached a staggering 9 hours and 37 minutes.

On another note, I realized that Huan and I share a common weakness: we are too honest. I find it impossible to keep anything to myself, though Huan is slightly better at it than I am.

I think I need to work on being a bit more evasive and developing the ability to tell a white lie when necessary.

I successfully created a very smooth iPad shortcut. This record was actually added using it!

🕒 01:01 | First Priority

The first thing I want to do is show this shortcut to Huan. I can now clip content from any app directly into Obsidian and record text manually via the notification bar. #shortcut

Today, I roasted a large turkey and four pork legs to prep for the coming days. They turned out pretty well!

🕒 02:00 | Manual Input

Congratulations to me! I’ve figured out how to insert content into Obsidian manually, just like the iPad shortcut.

🕒 03:11 | Good night 🌇

🕒 03:12 | Formatting

Don’t worry about the format for now!! I’ll leave that until the very end.

🕒 16:22 | Freezing Cold

Dr. Zhao messaged me to see if I wanted to go shopping at Southgate Mall. It is freezing today; the wind is so sharp it actually hurts my face.

Before he arrived, I stopped by Dollarama to pick up a spoon and some adhesive tape.

After shopping, we grabbed some drinks at Starbucks. Dr. Zhao recommended that I try the Pink Drink.

🕒 19:23 | Noise Issues

I polished and submitted the final assignment of sensing.

I prefer to the individual assignment rather than group work.

I don’t like my chair because it is a little bit tall. I will choose to kneel on the ground to use the computer.

I don’t have any friends who has a deep relationships here. So, a little boring for me.

It was a boring day. I boiled some rice noodles for lunch, but I didn’t have much of an appetite due to having eaten so much at yesterday’s buffet.

In the afternoon, I focused on working on Huan’s visa application. I honestly think her colleagues are completely selfish. They don’t care about your actual needs; they only care about things that might affect their own work or future. So, all they say is, “We can only give you this.” But is that what you actually need? I really dislike their attitude.

While I was doing my laundry, Alex messaged me to ask about my current studies and life. Our relationship seems to be growing closer.

I also want to make sure I write an email to Mr. Rob to express my appreciation.

I woke up at 12 PM and then cooked some food for lunch. After that, I took a shower and took some time to relax. By the time it was approaching 4 PM, the sun had already set (or the sun was gone).

I spent some time studying my textbook, Writing Academic English. I recently discovered Zotero and found it to be a very good tool for taking notes and managing references. I plan to use it to take tons of notes going forward.

Later, I cooked a lot of food to prepare for the next few days.

I bought a secondhand microwave last night, and the seller dropped it off at the Southgate station this afternoon. The microwave was so heavy that I was sweating by the time I got it home.

After finally putting the microwave away, I headed back out to buy some groceries. I bought a lot of items, including tomatoes, lettuce, pork, and more.

At first, I didn’t like this movie, especially the type and the style. But I found that the cover I saw knew its songs very popular. After watching, it’s really a nice movie.

22:48 Watch How to Train Dragons: The Hidden World

A nice movie, it made me calm down and feel relaxed.

And I found that I can understand a movie without Chinese; I am getting more and more familiar with English.

The information from cellphones always makes me feel dizzy and eye-hurt.

22:51 Bitter gourd stewed pork ribs

Not bad, I cooked it while watching movies, for tomorrow’s lunch.

And I had a KFC with a nice offer, and bought some groceries from Safeway.

We feel happy if our tummy is satisfied.

Releasing too much energy is bad for health.
