Hey you!

 Hey you!

Just checking up on you. I apologize for totally ignoring you for some time now.

But I'll do better.

Just stick with me a bit more?

Thanks!

No Na

At some point previously, you may have heard between the beef between South Korean netizens (known as K-netz) and the SEAblings (countries within the Southeast asian countries). It all started with the local people calling out Koreans that attended the said concert and has broke off the camera rules during a Kpop concert in Malaysia. It escalated real quick to nasty and racist comments due to K-netz hitting below the belt first.

If these K-netz have the spot of being a top tier level of bully (mind you, their own artists whether idol or actor are not spared and even pushed to their death because of these anonymous online commenters), the SEAblings are on another level mind you.

I would like to believe that millenials and generation Z are not new to trash-talking because most of us have hobbies which includes people: playing online games and rapping (they even hold competitions).

So, they retaliated back with the most witty and savage comeback. I was laughing really hard when I read those comments.

 

And because of that, a silver lining had opened. Those SEA countries fanbase had turned to artists coming from SEA. I am grateful that it did. Or else I might have missed this amazing girl group called No Na. No Na consists of four members, Baila, Shaz, Esther and Christy.

I think they are just a newly formed group (just a year) but they are popular in Indonesia. I liked the song Work and all of the members are charming and magnetic that I had trouble picking a bias.

I also like their Shoot

They also recently released a new Bop song called Rollerblade

The essentials of Oral Hygiene

 The essentials of Oral Hygiene

Let's talk about oral hygiene which is not really discussed much. 

Toothbrush, manual or electric?

Toothpaste, how much needed?

Should I rinse with water after toothbrushing?

Mouthwash when it should be?

Flossing, are you doing it every day?

Going to the dentist at least 1-2 a year for cleaning

Flight cancelled due to war

Flight cancelled due to war

Just when I am so excited for my anticipated annual leave going to the Philippines because I was thinking that finally I would be able to taste again my Filipino street food cravings, that's when war struck out in GCC and Middle East was bombed by Iran this 28 February 2026. They were retaliating and dropped the missiles in the US bases in the GCC because Trump and Israel bombed Iran. The end result: Airspace was closed in Qatar until government officials says that it is safe to fly. (I was due to take Qatar Airways to Manila from London and later).

Anyway, that's what's life is. You'll never know. Bummer, I know! And it would mean more expense for me. But I'm still thankful for I am alive.

To be honest, I don't like war. At the end of the day it's a lose-lose situation especially to the most vulnerable.

Let's see what will happen later. I hope to update you if time permits.

Till next time! Hoping you are all well and safe!

Savoury Aubergine Recipe by Sanegeal Farmhear

So I was wondering on how I would cook the remaining aubergine in the fridge as I don't have bagoong.

Then an idea struck me.

I pan fried the cut aubergine in a minimal cooking oil (it does absorb a lot of the oil) in a low heat. Cook on both sides.

Add Lee Kum Kee Hoisin sauce and the Lee Kum Kee Char chiu Chili oil.

It was as good as I've visualized.

This recipe would be better I think if I had stirfried it instead with garlic and onion. Or perhaps just serve it with green onions on top?

Anyway, enjoy!

Just vibing and typing my discovered recipe when this song came as a random play.

Leave in the room temperature for a day or two. Ensure room temperature is a bit cold
