D-9 before summative SAQ
soil, argument, smartwatch
#mum #jamie I was travelling in Japan with someone (I think it was a classmate) (edit: was my mum). We went into a clothes shop with two storeys. My classmate stayed at the bottom floor while I went to the second floor Suddenly someone (not my travelling partner) handed me a simply but nicely wrapped gift. It was a bday gift from Jamie. The wrapping style is also very “Jamie-style” in which she uses transparent plastic sheet as a wrapping paper around the bunch of goodies she bought for me, and sealing the wrapping paper with neon masking tape. Goodies included some candies (those very fun Japanese candies) and a bag of Zimbabwe soil. It was for my plant. She bought it while travelling/ doing charity service there. She wrote in the note she would have travelled to Hawaii during her African trip too. Meanwhile I wonder wasn't Hawaii in the US. (irl I was planning to buy soil for my plant for a while but never did. Last night before sleeping I checked the soil, seems like there's some mould, or excess salt building up on the soil again. Either way it was kind of unsatisfactory. Also kind of weird how oddly specific that it was Zimbabwe lmfao.
After exiting the shop my friend needed to buy something in 7-11. (wait now I remember it was my mum) (bruh)
I happened to be carrying my plant with me, so I wanted to put in the soil and get it done. I first wanted to isolate the “suspected mould”, so I picked the mould patches and put them in my mouth. Then from the second patch onwards I realised these were supposed to be inedible and bad for health (didn't realise it was bad because they looked like smashed oreo cookies and it was crunchy albeit tasteless), so I kept the next patches inside my mouth without chewing, and the final patch on my right palm. (irl back in Jan I didn't know why but I had a strong urge to swallow stuff, and I commented exactly to my friends the plant soil looks like oreo and I want to eat it. And how my anime acrylic holographic decorations looks yummy but they were too big so I can't really swallow them.)
We were walking on the street finding 7-11, while I was also searching for rubbish bins so I can spit it out.
We saw a 7-11 right across the street and at the beginning of an upward slope so we went there. I waited outside 7-11. I saw a bin not that far away so I went and tossed my mouldy patches. I also tried to spit out those in my mouth, but the first few patches I can't because I already chewed and swallowed them.
There was a table for me outside 7-11 to sit and unwrap the gift. I opened the bag of new soil. I wanted to replenish the soil. But I accidentally 倒 too much and it overflowed the pot. Mum happened to place down a chocolate drink she just bought for me on the table. Some soil went on the surface of the drink. They blended in with the decorative chocolate powder which was already on the drink.
So after I was done with my plant I went to drink the chocolate, while clearly feeling the soil texture in my mouth (because although it looked similar to the chocolate powder, the powder wasn't crunchy, only the soil did. I didn't really much care, I tried to avoid eating the soil while sipping the drink though. I also tried to wipe away the soil around my mouth with my arms (the connecting area between forearm and arm). Because my fingers were already dirtied by the soil so I couldn't use my hands to wipe away.
While that, a group of kids were walking by the street, seemed like some kind of study tour, led by a teacher as their tour guide. They walked past our table. Nothing special though, they weren't really interested in what we were doing. Some noticed but didn't do anything. They behaved like typical pedestrians.

I remembered I was very angry at something that happened between these two events, but I forgot what it was the second I woke up :O I seem to remember a little.
I was in my parent's bedroom. I was standing on their bed, arguing with mum who was standing on the floor by the bed and I was throwing a tantrum, basically I was arguing whatever topic she threw at me. She started the argument first (She said something provoking and I escalated it). I forgot what the content was. But the main theme was her urging me to shower but I have other things to do; and I don't want to share my schedule or whatever with her and she's mad about it. There was more, because I was putting older “not that related” stuff to the table (She did it first). The argument was long, say like 20 minutes. After that she finally left me alone.
I was mad and infuriated during that time.
- #chinok Afterwards I was scrolling reddit, I was on a subreddit that felt like r/AskReddit lol, and people were commenting some people's names. (I forgot the op's question). One of them were commenting a familiar name. I think it was one of the professors teaching public health (irl). Anyways I looked and find the user who posted this felt like ChiNok (the rhythm game boy), because the username was something like his name and gave me some music production vibes which he did. His previous profile picture was Loid (from spyxfamily) hugging his dog at an aquarium. Upon clicking inside his profile, I can see an updated profile pic, which were some pokemons running together (say like 4 Oddishes running together or 3 Poliwags running, I forgot what exactly was in the photo, I just remembered it was dull coloured (grey? blue? purple? tiny balls running) (doesn't feel like klink but it was that colour).
I looked at other comments he posted in other subreddits, he was giving advice on what smartwatches to buy.
After a while Mum returned to the bedroom I was in, and excitedly showing a pic of a black small cool smartwatch (looks like apple but apparently it was Huawei), asking me if she should buy it to 送人. (I was suspecting it was grandmother, whom she always complained to me about her being stupid, arrogant, rude, reluctant to listen to ideas etc. in real life) (Side note I aren't sure how bad grandmother is, but iirc she isn't that great. She tied the cat my aunt adopted and given to her (because 表妹 turned out to be allergic to cats so they can't keep it) to the balcony (every day) (she doesn't untie it) so that it wouldn't be a hassle to manage where it would go. Also I think my mum was going to be like grandmother, and I possibly would be like my mum/ grandmother in the future if there was no intervention :( going to be like the person you don't want to be like, because that's the type of “education” you grew up with and being instilled into your brain?)
I was imagining grandmother would prefer a gold coloured smartwatch instead. Anyways I told her to gift to those who would be truly thankful instead, and stop wasting time on someone that wouldn't value your work.
Dream ended.
