Just asked doctor about my lifelong guts problem. Very likely I'm lacking of some enzymes just like my cousin and it's good to take this as precaution.

Nope. My dad is having prostate problem. Gonna have a talk with doctor and he usually will prescribe medicine.

Happy Sunday!
Painting, French songs, and cappuccino. 30 mins zen for my depressed mind and body.

Excuse me. Who said I don't feel pain? I STUBBED my toe.

Marwella Zhang @marwellaspaceart.bsky.social · 1d

Yep! And some totally forget to use their logic before sharing or even debating with others.

Le me on WhatsApp status made caption:
"My mom told me to walk elegantly. Me: 🤣."

My aunt without reading the caption:
"Is that your toe or your dad's? Why is it swollen and dark? Apply minyak batu (maybe medicated oil)!"

Some aunties 🤦‍♀️

As kid, I wondered why I could hear pop sound from my mom's legs very often. Now, being 30s, I can relate to it. 🤣

Marwella Zhang @marwellaspaceart.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks. It will and somehow it doesn't pain much

Marwella Zhang @marwellaspaceart.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks!

Marwella Zhang @marwellaspaceart.bsky.social · 2d

Yep, especially for clumsy people like me 😂

They caught it: the @operations.esa.int European Space Agency’s two orbital Mars missions, the Trace Gas Orbiter and Mars Express caught sight of everyone’s favorite interstellar comet of the hour earlier this week: 3I/ATLAS.

Accidentally stubbed my toe on wood log this morning.
Me: "Just a little pain. Toe is okay."

Le me checked the toe in the afternoon as the pain was a bit unusual: a nice dark bruise spot 🤣
