Week 35, 2019

Currently in the middle of a (self-declared) 4 day weekend (between Merdeka day and Awal Muharram on Saturday and Sunday respectively), because plenty of leave, and I know I don't do so great the day after a concert. So I might as well take a long(er) weekend. 

• Been watching a lot of Hot Ones episodes on YouTube because even the bloody talk shows are on hiatus this week. Whoda thought watching famous people eat spicy chicken wings while being interviewed would be so interesting? 
• Finally saw Snow Patrol on Thursday night. 
• And then they announced that they have to cancel the rest of the shows in Asia cos the frontman is under the weather. 
• Finally saw the last episodes of Elementary. The (platonic) love between Holmes and Watson makes me cry. 
• Took FamilyMart long enough to finally sell a Belgian chocolate soft serve ice cream, which started this week. I only finally tried it but it was late at night, on my way home from the Snow Patrol gig. 
• Had no idea Singaporean tea brand LiHo had made its way in Malaysia... it only took them so long? And only in KL (in this weird corner in Midvalley which you would know if you travelled there by KTM) and JB. I've tried LiHo's bubble tea before, but wasn't terribly memorable, that experience. 
• Fun fact: Google Image search "Romeo catchers" 
• Apparently non-Asians are triggered about the Asian adaptation of the show Wizards of Waverly Place? What? Eh, no one's asking you to tune in lah, can? 
• My guess is that there's an aspiring gamer somewhere on the Internet who's got my oft-used username on Discord or whatever, but doesn't have the Gmail address to back it up. Every so often, I would get verification emails for sites and services I never signed up for to the email address I have access to, but because it's 2019 nothing happens unless I click to verify the signup, I mostly just delete and block them. Recently someone (maybe the same person) signed up for a Wix account for their Discord or whatever, but it wasn't verified because I know I didn't sign up for it. So I logged in, reset the password and shut it down. I have no way of telling this person to back off using my email address without showing my hand.
