When I got home from my morning Uber drive, it was raining. I was surprised to see the snails coming out of the plants in the garden. They came out to welcome the rain. Great timing I was meant to pluck them out of the garden. Quickly, I put on my glove and pluck each one of them while they were out. I threw them onto the concrete. The kids saw me doing this -- they counted as I pluck each snail. They counted 40+ in total. All from two plants. It was really gross. I killed them all. Smashed them into bits.
It's becoming a habit of mine passing by Bunnings after I drop off dude. Today I bought pruning shears. I also wanted to buy white planters for our snake plant but I put it off for now. I checked out sunflower seeds, fire pit, and the Bunnings Warehouse baseball cap which I've been eyeing for quite some time now. I did not buy one because the line got long in the cashier.
Today I picked up my kettlebell once again and did a round of kettlebell exercises. Nothing that tiring but it was a good 15 minutes of practice still. When it was time to go, I drove Vera to Shichida.
I bought two Superdry plain shirts today. I've been putting off buying the shirts because in my view I don't need it but I really want them. They're very comfortable to wear and fits real good. In fact I want two more basic ones -- probably one in black and one in white. I don't know why I want even more clothes, it's deeply ingrained in me to get this stuff for no reason. But I think I've come a long way. I know how to supress this and I do buy less and less stuff.
We went to a trial piano class for the kids today. I'm very happy to observe their trial class. I actually want to enroll as well because earlier in the year this is one of the goals I've set for myself. I want to learn how to play the piano. Three books, one e-subscription later, I still haven't progressed. Maybe this is the answer to taking up the piano seriously.
I want to be able to play the stuff I like on the piano and I can use that to sing my favourite songs while playing. It will be awesome. I imagine this will be a part of self-expression. I'm looking forward to my first ever piano lesson. Hopefully, at the end of the year I could play the Eraserheads' Kailan lounge version.

Tomorrow, I'll finish what I started. I'll finish up the apple pie I am preparing. All I have to do is assemble the thing tomorrow and bake it. The hard part is done.

I trimmed some of the bush in the garden. I have to work on four more plants. This is an on-going process that might take me another month to finish. I'm not tired, I'm just imagining the piece of work I have in front of me. It's a big task -- but doable in small increments. The thing is I just have to keep hacking at it. LITERALLY, hack away.

I hope to have energy reserved to vacuum a part of the house. I haven't vacuumed the house for the longest time. Why because I've lost confidence on our vacuum cleaner after I saw a demo of rainbow. I wanted to buy a dyson stick vacuum because it's more believable and 'better' but I feel that the money is best stashed away to grow our savings. Hmm.. things you have to put off just for the sake of saving up to buy a house. It becomes really tiring. It's like eating a whole elephant, it takes forever and you do not know when will it ever end?!?
