Diary 2023-9-13

Near my workplace, you’d have to wait in a pretty long line, and the space was so tiny it was just take-out. But now, there’s KUSTOM COFFEE in the neighborhood where you can chill with a power outlet at your side. Their life-changing latte mixes regular milk with fermented milk.


Nowadays, if you leave the window open in the evening, sometimes a cool breeze sneaks inside your t-shirt. It happened again today when it rained since morning. You can feel your body transitioning from summer to fall. ๐ŸŒง๏ธ Then it gets suddenly hot, then windy, then rainy again. Just when you think fall is here or maybe not, winter will suddenly stand right in front of you. Summer always leaves with such a bang. Compared to that, winter turns its back with just one spring rain. Quite gentle.

On my way home, I was starving, so I grabbed a quick bite at World Tower. I remembered the eel rice bowl I had before, but after seeing the price, I humbly went for salmon rice. Sometimes I wonder if I even need to strive for big bucks. Even if I had a lot, I doubt I’d spend well. ๐Ÿ’ธ


Haruki Murakami’s new book is out after ages. It was published in April this year, and I thought the translation was late, but seeing its thickness, I nodded in understanding. I’m so impatient that I bought the e-book, but after seeing it in the bookstore, I kind of wanted a physical copy too. It’s beautiful.

I’m still in the early chapters, but it overlaps with Hard-Boiled Wonderland, making it feel less fresh. I read Hard-Boiled Wonderland ages ago, so I barely remember. I’m a bit tired of Murakami’s cool but predictable romance depictions, so I think I need to speed up. ๐Ÿ“š

Truth is, I went to the bookstore to buy this notebook. I always carry writing tools, and I recently finished my current notebook. I usually use a set of three of the same size, but I switched because I loved the cover texture so much. But you can’t change old habits, so I’ll probably keep doodling away. ๐Ÿ–Š๏ธ

Professor, how’s your health?

Who on earth is this?

Didn’t I do a good job drawing this? Or maybe not. ๐ŸŽจ

That’s all for today’s diary. ๐Ÿ“
