The Mini Date with Mini Me:
Picked her up early from her school after her school holiday camping activity and brought her jalan2, we went on a train ride but then she wanted to take a nap when she was in a moving vehicle (so macam pointless). Then Aja came by, so we went to Tamarind Square. Sofi wanted to see some books, then we went to see some pets, and I bribed her with a water cup from Mr DIY when her throat was making her feel uncomfortable and she started to ngada2 a bit and nak dukung.
Then I knew she was probably hungry, so we went to After Seven for their pizza. Sofi ate 2 slices of pizza and ice cream with lava cake (or something like that). I was a bit too overwhelmed to see the menu so Aja did everything. Hihu. Then she was fine and happy. Kan senang kalau lapar cakap lapar.

The Mini Date with Myself:
The next day, I went to KL to return the books that I borrowed more than 2 weeks ago. Kena denda 90 sen. I said that I was just going to return books and not borrow any more new books - but then I came back with more books. Then I had lunch in CM, and I went to MPH TRX to see their latest bookstore. But it wasn't that good. Sedih kan.
I only walked around 10k steps that day, I think I need another long walk again super soon.
In BB area, I went to :- BookXcess Fahrenheit
- Eslite Spectrum Starhill
- BX+ Pavilion
- BookXcess Lalaport
- Books & Bobs GMBB
- BookXcess RexKL
- Junk Book Store
Kira nya almost all big-sized bookstores in the main city center, I dah pergi explored on foot.
So for me, the best bookstore is Kinokuniya KLCC, and the next one is Eslite in Starhill Bukit Bintang.

What I'm Watching: 'The Architecture of Love' & Series
A couple of weeks ago I went to the cinema and watched the TAoL. The movie isn't being promoted locally so you need to be aware of the release from social media, and they only made it available once every day in some of the cinemas. A bit of a hassle because there weren't that much of an option.
I watched the movie while I was on a painkiller, after my first consult with the dentist. So, I was mostly distracted by the things that just happened.
It is a love story, and I'm not in the mood for a love story - so the timing isn't right. I enjoyed it, but not enjoy it as much as I should. The storyline seems typical, quotes are quite memorable, yeah, cuci mata tengok both Raia and River lah.
Note: Except if it is Bridgerton, Shonda has a way to transport me into a love-fantasy realm and my female brain seems to enjoy the romance Bridgerton has to offer. Interesting. Interesting because I do have a normal female inclination towards the genre rupanya. I think it worked because men in real life aren't like that, and women can berangan je bila tengok the series, definitely written by women for women.
I watched Bridgerton macam ni ha :
And because I needed something solid and familiar, I'm rewatching Grey's Anatomy 'again' - now on season 2 and 20, both.

The Extraction, 30/5:
I cried inside, my hands were trembling, and the dentist asked whether it was painful - I said "No, just nervous, no pain". I can't forget the sound.
The pain is inside, inside my heart, because finally saying goodbye to something that is long gone is painful.
For all this time, I kept it as my zombie molar, without any healthy nerves to keep it alive, it was dead a long before. And it finally came the time for me to say goodbye. So, I'm crying inside, because the pain is inside my heart.

I think, this month, twice, people said something like this to me:
I understand, that you are hard to leave from your comfort zone, and no one can't force you to.
