September!
I'm now officially out of things to watch of Netflix, mainly because I'd like to stop bingeing stuff so I'd have time to write >_< No doubt I'd find something intriguing soon enough, but now it's pretty refreshing. Not least also because it's the 7th month in the Chinese calendar, also the Hungry Ghosts Festival and I'm sure there's got to be some Untamed | MDZS fic potential somewhere...
Cue hackneyed Covid-19 jokes about how, with travel restrictions and quarantine, your ancestors can't even come up for a nice long visit.
1 October is Children's Day where I am (children day's song:
Semoga Bahagia by Inch Chua (once upon a time I could sing it, now I've forgotten 90% of the lyrics), but some years back the ministry of education made what I consider a really pathetic decision to celebrate Children's Day on the Friday of the week of 1 October. So that apparently children and teachers could have a long weekend. Weak, weak. I know it's less than ideal for holiday-planning if 1 Oct falls on, say, a Wednesday, but what happened to the symbolism? Isn't that the point of designating a random day to celebrate, I dunno, being a child? The rant comes to mind as 1 September is Teacher's Day... or it used to be, and this year it's 4 September. I know, I know... it's like the whole point of such days is to have a long weekend.
Also listening on repeat to
左手指月 by 薩頂頂 Sa Dingding, theme song from Ashes of Love aka《香蜜沉沉燼如霜》, another series that I did watch random episodes of, despite myself, because does Deng Lun look like Park Seo-joon, or is it just me?
