When you forget your mother tongue 🙈

🐈‍⬛ Life

Hi friend! How’s the week going for you?

This week has been a bit weird. Not in the sense of work or anything, but in lifestyle. My covid QR code thing doesn’t work properly for some reason so I can’t leave the house without my mom lol. I also can’t spend any money and most places won’t take cash. I’m 26 and I’m like OH DEAR I have to ask my mom to go to the gym with me and buy me a coffee. I know it’s nbd but for someone who had been independent for so long, it does feel very strange. 😅 Ah well, hopefully it gets sorted soon!  

continuing my transition to V2 Tina that only wears white

On the bright side, I’ve quickly picked up a lot of the Chinese that I had forgotten over the years! Has anyone else ended up speaking a second language better than their first language? Chinese is my first language but my English is much better now - especially when it comes to professional terminology. How do you say heteroscedasticity in Chinese? 🤔

🎥 Things I Watched

I watched another couple episodes of House of the Dragon. So what I was thinking about (trying to not spoil anything) is that if a white-haired Targaryen has a kid with a dark-haired non-Targaryen, how can the kid have white hair since it is recessive???

The F1 generation should all be dark-haired…

IDK SEEMS SUS IF YOU ASK ME

📖 Books

I read the book called Profit First, which is a business book about…taking profit first. It’s quite highly reviewed but I feel like I summarize 80% of it in three words lol: take profit first. Except for that it’s about how to do environment design and design habits that are more catered towards human tendancies. Idk maybe because I’m already quite familiar with this topic, but I didn’t get much value from it. I also found the writing style to be very repetitive and he keeps going on tangents. Would not recommend.
