If you're a celebrity, don't just simply send your followers to "find" someone because she happened to be your fan when she was 10. My friend is currently being stalked and bombarded by strangers, and her Linkedin profile is shared everywhere. Unfortunately, she has to use Linkedin for work so this is making her highly uncomfortable.
Not all fans want to meet you, believe it or not!

It's funny how I wanted #Obsidian be my everything at first. I used it as a task manager, project manager etc. Now I've moved work-related stuff out of my vault. Now use my co's Confluence to store project & meeting notes for my knowledge base, and my tasks in Todoist.
My vault can now focus on what Obsidian does best - a #PKM note taking app for my passions rather than a productivity tool.

Found Tony Romella & feel that he gets me. Even his #Obsidian vault is organised like mine! A totally underrated #PKM Youtuber with an ADHD bent.
ND folks do think very differently. For eg, I just can't do Tiago Forte's PARA system. I have this "out of sight out of mind" thing we #ADHD folks seem to have. If I stash my files in a folder, I forget it even exists. It gets worse if there are subfolders. Like Tony, I have a hybrid system & use notebooks. Coincidence?

I think the scariest thing is I often use this particular monorail line. Usually on Wednesdays. If it had been tomorrow...
Unfortunately one person died in this incident 😔

My current watch. Such a pretty poster. I just love mature male leads. Hardly get mature female leads, however 😅

One of the tenets of building language vocabulary is to learn vocab that interests you. I notice I remember the words so much easier because of it. Here's a list of some words that my brain just 👀 when it heard them：
昏迷不醒 in a coma
法馆 judge
去世 died
方剂 prescription

Feel like there's a theme in here somehow 😅

I've gone to the dark side. I got my first ever cloud storage/all-in-one subscription service - OneDrive and all it entails.
They should give @chungliwen commission money cos he convinced me lol. Next, Kagi!

Lol I am still using a pre-ban Huawei phone. That thing must belong in a museum or something.

If you are concerned about me being spied on, I am already being spied on by American corporations so I gotta be fair on the Chinese too 😆

I remember the days when I had to travel abroad often, and often dreading the money changing, and worrying that my cards will not work abroad. So I had to bring far too much cash sometimes. This is kinda cool and I wonder if other regions have this. Would be cool if this system extends to China and South Korea. They are currently working on one with Japan now.

Will be eternally tickled that Malaysians are called 大马人 (big horse people). 🐎

Hello there, I may look like 着 but I have four different meanings depending on the context! And just to make things interesting, I even sound different! Just which one am I when you read the text? Well, it's up to you to figure that out! Har Har.

Chinese, if it was an annoying troll.

Yan Wushi, to quote someone from Goodreads, 100% "deserves a beating, but is still bae."

Enjoying the #ThousandAutumns #donghua.

Edit - mistakenly thought Meng Xi Shi wrote the Untamed books lol

But anyway it looks like I just like this author better maybe because it feels like a very classic wuxia tale and the characters better developed. I found Yan Wushi interesting even if I found Shen Qiao annoying for his boy scout ways.

I guess I like bad boys 🤭

Damn it, I can't move on from #TheLegendOfShenLi . The only drama that did that to me was Mysterious Lotus Casebook. Took me weeks to get over that one.
It's a little puzzling cos Shen Li had a lot of flaws that I disliked, but the positives overpowered it. I loved Lin Geng Xin's performance (oddly was warned that he's a bad actor) and loved his character's Xing Zhi's arc so, so much. I resonate with his struggle with loneliness and desire for a simple life with loved ones.

Anyway, the secret to living a financially stress-free life is - being free of debt and automating the payment of all your bills and savings. Yeah, that's it. My life is that simple :P

Legit no one will understand me in Sarawak 🥴

PS: There are many variations of Hokkien in Malaysia, and to piss each other off we use different words sometimes.

liztai, 13 days ago to TikTok

I don't use #TikTok. Don't even have an account. Can't stand the app. But this thing with TikTok in the US is grossing me out. It's one thing to ban the thing but quite another to force the co to sell the platform to a US company. That's like a land grab, even if money is exchanged. This is going to put a chill on business relations not just with China but with companies globally, because they'll be wondering, "will I be the next Bytedance? Will they try to grab my company too?"

it's the 10th episode and I am bored 😆

it is pretty, but I dont really watch dramas for romance. Something else must be present to make me continue watching a drama like this, usually compelling character growth or an interesting plot.

neither seems present for me so far 😬

The only thing that is keeping me going is Xing Zhi, whose laidback character I find unusual in xianxia.

I guess I need to be patient with this or concede that my ambivalence for xianxia has hit again lol
