Today I travelled 🧳 to #Winchester for an interview, and this time my performance was not really bad. I discover there is #Matcha drink 🍵 in the branch, then I was very happy to tell my interviewer that I love Matcha. She told me that there are matcha #juice 🧃 and #syrup 🥤,and some of the materials will be arrived tomorrow. I even ask a cup of iced Matcha 🍸 after finishing the interview. I think this means the matcha products will be more and common in UK (hopefully). It is my passion in the daily life.
In the afternoon, I have a phone interview for #VictimSupport, which the office location is 23 minutes of walking from my home.🏡 🏠
For the time being, my performance in the interviews are my practice and experiences. I hope that I will not waste the interviewers’ time.

#wattsPark , #itchenBridge and SO16 raining day ☔️ 🌧️ again!!!
My weight today is 48kg (105.6lb), last time I weighed my body of 46kg (101.2lb) was on May 23rd. Luckily the fat on my face is not very serious, but the spots become worse. #hahaa (The picture was taken after drinking #RedWine)

There are much more #Matcha products in Hong Kong Stores which mama found them and promised to purchase some for me. It is much cheaper than in UK, for instance, one pack of KitKat Matcha Choco(113g) costs £6.79 in London #Westfield basement Japan Store, but it cost £2.29 in #HongKong supermarket.
I would like to try some of them myself before the #Japan trip in the coming August when I plan to taste more local and #traditional matcha drinks and snacks there, then I will understand which one(s) are worthwhile my purchase and the #money.
I specifically want to try the green ones with #materials or chocolate inside, instead of #chocolate with matcha material inside, because I don’t want the chocolate taste to dominate the matcha taste, which it is just like eating chocolate but not eating matcha snacks.
I really miss the foods in Hong Kong and #Taiwan, and we seldom have Japanese foods in UK, which I enjoy so much.
It is all about #adaption and #indulgence.
I am like a kind of person who is #addictive to one thing for a period.
For example, in my childhood I like to watch local TV, and from secondary school I become addicted to Japan TV drama series. I also like to listen to Hong Kong Broadcast and pop music, but I don’t usually watch the foreign countries’ channels.
After the period of addiction, I might forget about the thing I had be addicted to. And then I may find another thing to get addicted to for another period.
Another example is that I like #blue in color since childhood, but for a period in secondary school I was addicted to #green colour very much. Now I turn back into a girl full of #Blue colour around.
One of the #reasons is #boredom and #refreshment. No matter how much I like one thing, I will be bored when I keep it being a #routine. A #change for a certain period of time produce the refreshment and get back to #energetic.

In this 2024/02/29 which is a day that appears just once for four years, I work for valentine Avenue again, where my first time was on last March 28 when we were still living in spring Road SO19 and I could walk to there. Today it is also a rainy day ☔️ 🌧️, and I visit my friends, the #horses 🐎 🐴 , I get wet together with them. So playful!!!

At noon 11:27 before a 20minute nap, I made my left knee 🦵 hit the desk drawer while copying book right before the preparation to go out.
In this afternoon I went to purchase #Matcha powder (4packs of 100g) in bargate before an #ikea shift.
Today I try one day to work for the installation of the display furnitures : a two layered vase table for the first 30 minutes, and then another 30 minutes for a white chair🪑 . I try to use the brushless motor (deWalt 18V DCD778)🌀 make holes for 4 corners to fix the middle layer by spins.
Afterwards I try to install a 4-check case, but there is an error inside a spin hole. I guess these products are returned from customers or found damaged… 🏬 🛒 🛍️ so as to be the displays?!
When I #knee down during working, I feel the left knee bone 🍖 🦴 painful. It makes me feel as if I have been working for a long time.#hahaa

The bottles of whole milk are passing the expiry date, but the flour is not left much. I make a #matcha cake on my own at mid-night, and prepare it to be my breakfast or #afternoonTea treat for everyday. In this afternoon, when I try to reheat one piece by #microwave oven, I discover that It isn't very soft like what I thought it to be (because I was afraid that the milk is being put too much than the #flour powder). On the contrary, its texture is hard enough like a cookie, which is what I would like to try by another method. This is the second time of my own baking due to the #expiryDate of the material(s), and both are not considered as unsuccessful, but showing off with surprise instead.
When my parents are in Hong Kong for this month, I have to take care of myself on the Saturday night. I want to practize for the #loneliness. Even when I am not 70 years old yet. #Hahahaa!!!
I like to #sew for my broken things myself, for instance, bags, buttons on the clothes, socks... and umbrella (it is raining and windy for these days)

My parents will be able to unite with our relatives. ❤️ 💕 💗💙🩷🧡💛💚💜🩶🖤🤍🩵❤️🔥❣️💞💓💝💘💖 Lunar New Year is not yet finished, this Saturday is the🧧🏮 #Lantern festival for the first full moon 🌝 🌕 , a #Chinese Valentine day!!!👔👕👗🪥🛏️ 🧮🧾📊📈📉📓📘📖🪪
I urge mama to take back many of my things in my room at Hong Kong home, which I had not brought along with me. Also, somethings that I need to purchase are cheaper in Hong Kong. 🖊️🖋️✒️🖌️🖍️📝✏️
For these 7 weeks, I have finished copying the #CriminalLaw book of 219 pages by 63 #A4 papers and 2 sets of black & blue pens.
After dinner, there should be three hours to get rest before sleep, and it is suitable to copy books than other periods of time. For yesterday, a Sunday, I started at 06:30am and finished the last 21.5 pages of that book at 21:15, then brushed teeth and went to bed immediately.

For this month, I have worked by a part time mode in both restaurant and warehouse of #ikea. The only one #ikea product I had is the #electric #milkFrother🥛 by £1.5 in UK, which costs just HKD$2.5 (GBP 25p) in Taiwan. Hong Kong has one branch in New Territories, and #Taichung City has a branch which we had shopped 🛒 🛍️ 🏬 for several times during the twenty months of staying there, more than in #HongKong.
My previous one bought in #Taiwan was broken by the bottom lid, and then later damaged by water being slipped inside the part of 2A batteries. I have a new one in this #Southampton branch. Even if I don’t drink much coffee, #Matcha have to be made by it for being mixed and melted of the powder and hot water.
💧 💦 🚿 🩸 🩹 Nevertheless, I have bleeding inside my noses 👃 again in the menstrual period of this month, there is also a little bit bruise in side my right nose for these few days.

Actually I am not a #socializing person, my #existence is rather for the treatment of #depression or #culturalExchange. After all, the #appearance is really not my selling point. For instance, I like #copyBook(s) but I don’t think I am suitable to be a #solicitor, because I am afraid to get along with #humanBeing(s). However, it is not a #report of a #normal person. Do people have to know about this?
