[CN] MLQC Lucien’s 2024 Birthday Story - First Snow Wish Translation

⚠️ SPOILER ALERT!! ⚠️

This post contains a detailed spoiler for a story that has not been released in EN yet! Feel free to notify me if there are any mistakes in the translation~

Lucien’s 2024 CN Birthday Event (Golden Love Ratio)✧ Birthday Story (You’re here!) | Birthday Prologue + Birthday Date | ASMR | Birthday Party

Of course, he would have his parents live there too, reserving the biggest and most beautiful research room for them.

That way, Mom and Dad wouldn't have to go to the laboratory anymore.

When that time came, he would invent a machine that could make things easier for his parents, so they wouldn't have to be so busy and could spend more time with him.

Translation under the cut!

This year’s theme is “childhood dreams,” so the pre-evolve CG depicts the dreams the boys had as children about what they would be like as adults. Along with the usual birthday R&S-style story, there’s also a chibi event story.

The R&S-style story focuses on his birthday as a child (possibly his 5th birthday, since his 6th is already covered in his 3rd birthday R&S). Meanwhile, the chibi event explores the dream he has. As for translating the chibi events... let’s see if I will have time🤧

[Birthday Story - First Snow Wish]

Loveland City has reached late autumn, but the first snow has yet to arrive.

A little boy sat at his desk, leafing through a thick science magazine and occasionally glancing out at the cold weather outside. At this hour, Mom and Dad should be coming home soon.

As if confirming his intuition, he soon heard the sound of the door lock turning downstairs. The boy's eyes lit up instantly as he dashed out of his room, quickly bouncing down the stairs, where he saw his mom and dad at the entrance, taking off their coats. His dad was holding a box of videotapes, while his mom carried a cake box.

"Happy birthday, my precious! Your dad and I brought a movie on videotape. We think you'll really like it! Want to watch it together?" Mom said, smiling as she hung up her coat and took the boy's hand.

"And besides the cake—" Dad winked mysteriously, "I'm going to show off my skills today and cook a feast for you and your mom."

[T/N: His Mom called him 宝贝 (bǎobèi) 🥺 It's not a loanword from the English "baby," but rather a Chinese term of endearment that literally means "treasure" or "precious one." I translate this word as “my precious” to attempt to capture this nuance.]

In the living room, the television hummed softly. Mom carefully adjusted the VCR, making sure the picture was clear. Dad carried the boy to the sofa and meticulously covered him with a blanket.

The videotape started to play, and a snow-covered castle appeared on the screen. The boy sat between his parents, his small hands holding a steaming plate of dumplings, completely absorbed in the story unfolding on the screen.

[Notes from Lux: The dumplings!!!🤧 reminds me of his first CNY SSR when he asked MC to teach him how to make dumplings 🥺]

The inventor in the movie was creating all sorts of wonderful machines in his castle: flying bicycles, talking teapots, and even a machine that could make rainbows. The boy's eyes widened greatly as he watched these bizarre arrays of fantastical inventions.

"Mom and Dad, will your lab be able to make such magical things in the future?”

Dad laughed cheerfully. "The magic of science is that it can make seemingly impossible things possible. Just like the inventor in the movie, we are also pursuing new discoveries."

"But what's even more magical," he added, "is that... son, whatever you like, Mom and Dad will work hard to make it a reality."

The boy raised his eyebrow a bit skeptically, but he didn’t rush to voice the question in his mind. However, his expression was keenly noticed by his mom, and he felt the gentle touch of her hand on his hair.

"My precious, whether it's science or life, the driving force behind everything is the simplest ‘love’."

Before they knew it, snow began to fall over the small town in the movie, as the film was drawing to a close. The boy contentedly looked at his parents, but then from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the fresh snowflakes drifting down outside the window. It was the first snow of the year.

"Let's go out and take a look, we can even build a snowman~" Before the boy could even speak, his mom had already read his mind and gave his dad a meaningful glance.

So Dad immediately got up and found scarves and gloves for the three of them. First, he carefully helped the boy put on his hat and tied his scarf, then he wrapped Mom in her favorite warm-colored scarf. Once the three of them were all bundled up, they excitedly headed out the door.

A thin, delicate layer of white snow had already accumulated in the courtyard, glimmering faintly under the streetlight. The boy couldn’t wait to dash into the yard. He reached out his small hands to catch the falling snowflakes, watching them quietly melt in his palms, and let out a laugh of delighted surprise.

Dad squatted down and started building a small snowman. “Come, let’s give it a big belly together.” The boy and his mom joined in, working together seamlessly: the father took charge of building the main body, the mother shaped and refined it, while the boy was responsible for “dressing up” the snowman.

"We should use these for its eyes!" The boy picked up two small pebbles and solemnly pressed them onto the snowman's face.

"What about the nose?" Mom asked.

"How about a carrot? Just like in the movie."

Dad immediately ran home to get a carrot and also brought out one of his old hats. It seems that as long as it’s something the boy imagines, they’ll do their best to make it come true in real life.

"Hmm... it also needs a lab coat, so it looks like the inventor in the movie." The boy examined the snowman quite seriously, just as he saw his mother, unable to hold back a smile, take off her own scarf and attentively wrap it around the snowman's neck.

As the curtain of night began to descend, snowflakes continued to drift down quietly. The snowman stood alone in the snow, wearing Dad's hat and wrapped in Mom's scarf. The boy thought of the grand castle from the movie and the inventor's lone and busy figure in the laboratory.

A tiny hope suddenly welled up from the bottom of his heart. How wonderful it would be if he could live in a place like that when he grew up, surrounded by fantastic inventions, with snow always visible outside the window. Of course, he would have his parents live there too, reserving the biggest and most beautiful research room for them. That way, Mom and Dad wouldn't have to go to the laboratory anymore.

The boy pondered, his eyes gradually lighting up. When that time came, he would invent a machine that could make things easier for his parents, so they wouldn't have to be so busy and could spend more time with him.

However, if he became a scientist like his parents, he could not only explore more of the unknown in the world, but also become as capable as them and help them solve difficult problems at work.

[Notes from Lux: In other words, becoming an inventor was his ‘selfish’ dream, stemming from his desire to spend more time with his parents. However, he also always wants to follow in his parents' footsteps and be a scientist, that way, he can also help them 🤧]

The bright moonlight illuminated the piling snow in the courtyard, casting a long and slender shadow of the snowman across the ground. The boy looked up at the gently falling snowflakes, feeling they were like powdered sugar sprinkled from the sky.

So he caught some of the "powdered sugar" with his gloves and ran toward his parents. Although he hadn’t yet decided on his dreams, he wanted to keep this feeling in his heart forever.

Because more precious than any dream is this snowy night, his parents' smiles, and the small world that belongs to the three of them.

— Bound by Silk and Shadows. [IV]

pairing. ilumi zoldyck x (insert oc)

summary. In a quiet village, she runs a humble café, serving customers with a serene smile, unaware that she has captured the interest of one of the deadliest assassins alive. Ilumi Zoldyck, cold and emotionless, finds himself drawn to her—an anomaly in his carefully calculated world. She does not flinch under his piercing gaze, does not cower in fear like others do. And that intrigues him. What starts as silent observation soon spirals into obsession. He watches from the shadows, memorizing her every move, ensuring no one else dares to lay claim to what is his. Even Hisoka, ever the provocateur, finds amusement in Ilumi’s growing fixation. But Ilumi is not a man of patience. If she won’t come to him willingly… he may just have to take her. After all, a rare treasure should be kept safe—locked away, where no one else can touch.

tags. yandere ; kidnapping, manipulation ; friends to lovers ; eventual smut (will be tagged accordingly).

a.n. there's a lot going on with my life lately. i've been pretty busy as well with my work. but, here's a new chapter i guess? it's 'Chap Goh Mei' today. anyone celebrating it? anyway, happy cny <3. i've been working on a new header as well for this story. i asked my friend to draw me ilumi yesterday along with 'her'. been wanting to show her full name in the story but, that can wait. enjoy, like and reblog are much appreciated! xoxo miyuki

status. on-going // prologue, chapter I, chapter II, chapter III, chapter V, chapter VI

The festival was winding down, but the air still thrummed with lingering excitement. The soft glow of paper lanterns bathed the village in a golden haze, and the distant sound of laughter and music wove through the crisp night air.

Far from the festival’s celebration, Ilumi Zoldyck stood at the edge of a secluded rooftop, watching the night unfold below him.

His gaze was impassive, sharp eyes scanning the crowd without any real investment. The noise, the colors, the joy—it was all meaningless to him. Yet, his attention lingered on the shrine, his mind tethered to a presence he couldn’t quite ignore. His sharp eyes swept over the festival without interest, his mind barely anchored to the present. He had no reason to linger in this place—no reason, except for the faint pull of curiosity.

Then, without warning��

A strange sensation gripped his chest.

It was subtle at first, an inexplicable prickle at the back of his mind, like a silent whisper brushing against his consciousness. A warning. His fingers twitched, his body stiffening. Something was wrong.

His instincts had never failed him before.

Ilumi’s gaze darkened as his eyes flickered toward the shrine’s rear entrance, where the shadows seemed deeper, more suffocating. The festival’s noise became distant, drowned out by the quiet hum of awareness settling into his bones.

He knew this feeling.

A disruption. An intrusion. A threat.

Hisoka Morow, standing at the festival’s outskirts, felt it too.

The candy-sweet scent of the night dulled, replaced by something far more tantalizing—the unmistakable thrill of an approaching climax. His golden eyes gleamed, his lips curling around the lollipop he lazily twirled between his fingers.

“Hmm~” Hisoka hummed, his gaze flickering toward the shrine.

He hadn’t been looking for anything in particular—just something to entertain him. And oh, wasn’t this just delightful? The air itself seemed to hold its breath, as if anticipating something deliciously tragic.

Ilumi’s pupils constricted.

The shrine’s rear entrance. The shadows there were deeper, darker, unnatural.

Hisoka noticed it too, his amusement only growing. Ilumi, ever the perfect predator, had already shifted into motion, soundless as he descended from the rooftop. Hisoka watched him, intrigued.

“Oh? How unlike you to move so fast, Ilumi~” Hisoka mused, voice dripping with teasing delight.

Ilumi ignored him. His focus was singular. That unnatural pull in his chest—something had happened.

A faint trace of warmth flickered in his mind, an echo of someone’s presence. It was subtle, barely there, but unmistakable.

Without a word, Ilumi moved, his body shifting into motion as effortlessly as breathing. His steps were soundless as he descended from the rooftop, his mind already sharpening into a singular focus.

The girl.

His steps quickened, his thoughts sharpening. He should not care—he had no reason to care—but the disturbance, the wrongness, would not leave him alone.

Hisoka chuckled, trailing behind like a ghostly spectator.

“Oh, this is getting exciting~”

The festival roared on, oblivious to the unseen chaos unfolding in its midst. But Ilumi and Hisoka?

They knew.

And soon, everyone else would too. --- The shrine stood silent, untouched by the chaos that had already unfolded within. The flickering lanterns illuminated the worn stone steps, their warm glow contrasting the sharp chill in the air. But something was missing. Something vital.

Ilumi landed soundlessly at the shrine’s rear entrance, his keen eyes scanning the surroundings with cold precision. Hisoka followed at his own leisurely pace, rolling the lollipop against his tongue as if he were merely on a casual stroll.

Ilumi stepped forward, the faintest hint of disturbed ground catching his attention. He knelt, his gloved fingers brushing against the dirt where footprints had been hastily erased. His pupils dilated.

Too clean. Too perfect. A professional job.

His gaze flickered to the entrance, then to the inside of the shrine. The scent of incense lingered in the air, but beneath it—something else.

The faint trace of struggle. The scent of blood.

She was gone.

Hisoka’s soft chuckle cut through the stillness. “Oh my~ seems like someone snatched our little flower right from under your nose.”

Ilumi said nothing. His mind was already reconstructing the scene, analyzing every possible scenario.

She was here. She was taken.

He glanced toward the inner shrine, where her ceremonial garments had been discarded, tossed carelessly to the side. His fingers twitched as he reached for a strand of fabric caught in the wooden panels. He rolled it between his fingers, feeling the lingering warmth of her presence.

She had just been here.

The timing was precise. Deliberate. Calculated.

Someone had planned this.

Ilumi’s grip on the fabric tightened imperceptibly. Unacceptable.

Hisoka tilted his head, watching Ilumi with eerie amusement. “How very unlike you to be this invested, Illu~ Did she perhaps leave a little impression on that cold heart of yours?”

Ilumi ignored him. His thoughts were a razor’s edge, slicing through the implications.

If they had planned to kidnap her, it meant she was still alive. That was the only reason he hadn’t left a trail of corpses yet.

Hisoka stretched lazily, his voice sing-song. “Well, well~ shall we go hunting, then? I do love a good chase.”

Ilumi stood, his silhouette bathed in the dim lantern light. His next words were quiet, but carried the weight of an inevitable fate.

“Find them.”

Hisoka’s grin widened.

“Oh, now you’re speaking my language.” --- She had always known the past would come to haunt her one day.

She just never thought it would happen so suddenly.

The first thing she noticed when she woke up was the pain.

Her wrists ached, bound tightly by thick ropes that chafed against her skin. The wooden chair beneath her creaked slightly as she shifted, her body sore from being tied in the same position for too long. The dim, flickering light of an oil lamp barely illuminated the damp room, the air thick with the scent of alcohol and sweat.

A wave of nausea twisted in her stomach as she took in her surroundings.

She was back in their hands.

A heavy door creaked open, and the sound of footsteps echoed against the cold stone floor.

“Well, look who’s awake,” a deep voice drawled.

A tall, broad-shouldered man stepped forward, his scarred face twisted into a grin. His dark eyes gleamed with amusement as he leaned against the wooden table across from her.

“Been a long time, hasn’t it, little lady?”

Her jaw clenched, her nails digging into her palms.

“Let me go.”

The man chuckled, shaking his head. “See, that’s not how this works. Your dear ol’ dad left quite a debt before he kicked the bucket. And guess what? It didn’t just disappear when he died.”

He leaned in closer, his breath hot and laced with the stench of alcohol.

“Someone’s gotta pay up.”

She turned her head away, refusing to let him see the fear creeping into her expression.

“And what? You’re planning to sell me off?” she spat, her voice laced with anger despite the slight tremble.

The man smirked. “Oh, don’t be so dramatic. You’re worth too much now. Pretty little thing like you? We can make plenty of money by sending you to the Entertainment District. We might make a fortune by sending you there.”

The implication sent a cold chill down her spine.

She swallowed, forcing herself to stay calm. She wouldn’t break. Not here. Not in front of them.

The boss chuckled at her silence and reached out, gripping her chin with rough fingers.

“But don’t worry,” he purred, tilting her face up to meet his leering gaze. “You won’t be going anywhere. Not until I decide what to do with you.”

Her stomach twisted in fear. She had always known her father’s debt was a heavy burden, but she never imagined it would come back for her like this. She could feel her arms getting weaker, probably due to the drugs that they used. A group of men surrounded her after that, their expressions were a mix of greed and cruelty.

“She’s a pretty one,” another voice mused. “Might be worth something before we collect what’s owed.”

Fear iced over her veins. She tried to keep her breathing steady, tried to think, but the terror was suffocating. The drug coursing through her system made everything sluggish, her thoughts disjointed as she fought to stay conscious.

Her heartbeat thundering in her ears.

She had to get out.

One way or another—she had to escape. --- The night stretched long, suffocating in its eerie silence. The festival had long since ended, leaving only the remnants of distant laughter and the faint scent of fireworks clinging to the air. But for Ilumi and Hisoka, the world had shrunk down to a single objective.

Find her.

The two figures moved like shadows, their search methodical yet relentless. They had started at the shrine, but as the minutes passed, Ilumi expanded their search radius, combing through the winding village paths, the marketplace now abandoned, and the narrow alleyways that twisted like a labyrinth.

No trace of her. No scent. No lingering presence.

It was as if she had vanished entirely.

Hisoka, who had thus far been entertained by the pursuit, sighed dramatically, twirling a throwing card between his fingers. “My, my~ such a troublesome little thing, isn’t she? I must admit, watching you pace like this is quite the rare treat.”

Ilumi didn’t respond. His steps were quick, precise, his mind racing through the possibilities.

They wouldn’t have killed her. If they wanted her dead, they would have left the body. No. They took her somewhere. But where?

Hisoka hopped onto a rooftop with ease, scanning the empty streets below. “Tsk. What a shame. I was rather looking forward to seeing how she’d react to all this attention.” He leaned on one knee, red eyes gleaming with curiosity. “Now, Ilumi~ I wonder... why are you so tense? Could it be that you actually—”

Ilumi’s piercing gaze snapped up at him.

Hisoka grinned. “Ooh, scary~”

Ignoring him, Ilumi continued his search, his focus razor-sharp. Every street, every abandoned house, every possible hideout—nothing. No witnesses. No clues. No signs of a struggle.

It wasn’t just a simple abduction.

It was a disappearance.

The realization settled in his gut like ice. Hisoka, sensing the change in his demeanor, raised an eyebrow. “This is getting interesting~”

Ilumi said nothing. His fists clenched at his sides. She was his to keep. His to watch. His to decide.

And now, someone had dared to take her away.

Unacceptable.

Hisoka stretched, letting out a low hum of amusement. “So? What now, dear Illu?”

Ilumi exhaled slowly, his voice devoid of emotion but carrying a quiet promise of devastation.

“We find them.”

The hunt wasn’t over.

It had only just begun. --- The years passed like fleeting shadows, yet the hunt never ceased.

The village had changed—new buildings, unfamiliar faces, and whispers of stories that no longer held relevance to him. What was once a place of warmth, of memories tied to her, had now become a cold, lifeless backdrop in his relentless search.

She was nowhere to be found.

No traces. No rumors. No lingering scent.

As if she had been erased from existence.

Ilumi stood at the shrine, his gaze impassive, yet the weight of the silence pressed heavier than ever. This was where she belonged. This was where he should have found her. And yet—

She was gone.

The air smelled of incense, the offerings placed by worshippers unfamiliar to him. Even her presence, the memory of her standing before the shrine dressed in that delicate white and red attire, had begun to blur.

He hated it.

He hated that he couldn’t find her.

That she had slipped through his fingers.

That time had stolen her from him in a way no enemy ever could.

Had she died? No, if she had, there would have been proof. Had she escaped? Possible, but even that possibility did little to ease the strange ache that sat heavy in his chest.

Hisoka, who had long grown bored of this game, finally voiced what Ilumi refused to acknowledge.

“Face it, Illu~ she’s gone. Vanished. Disappeared into thin air~” His grin widened, eyes twinkling with delight at the assassin’s unwavering fixation. “Even you can’t find someone who doesn’t want to be found.”

Ilumi’s expression remained unreadable. No. That wasn’t true.

No one escaped him.

Not permanently.

Hisoka chuckled. “Still searching after all these years~? My, my, isn’t that obsessive?”

Ilumi turned his back to the shrine. Hisoka was right about one thing. It had been years. Yet, it made no difference.

Time would not change his resolve.

He would find her.

No matter how long it took.

No matter where she was.

She was his. And she would return to him.

Eventually. --- The lanterns flickered in the dimly lit streets, painting golden reflections on the cobbled path. The night air carried the faint scent of incense and cherry blossoms, mingling with the sound of distant laughter and the soft notes of a shamisen. The Entertainment District was alive, vibrant, filled with fleeting pleasures. But within one of its grand establishments, a lone figure sat near an open window, untouched by the liveliness beyond.

Dressed in an exquisite oiran kimono, embroidered with intricate silver and deep violet threads, she moved a Gungi piece across the board, her fingers as delicate as the silk she once wove. The customers across from her watched in quiet admiration, more entranced by her presence than the game itself. A soft, polite smile adorned her lips, but it never reached her eyes.

She won. Again. And again.

Yet, victory never brought her satisfaction.

She then reached for the teacup beside her, but instead of drinking, she traced the rim absentmindedly, her gaze shifting toward the bustling streets below. A wistful sigh escaped her as she watched the world continue beyond the confines of her cage.

Her fingers moved on their own, brushing against the lacquered wood of the window sill, a soft hum escaping her lips—an old melody, one she had sung absentmindedly back when she had something to call home. The gentle tune drifted through the air, weaving between the sounds of the night, unnoticed by most, yet holding a weight only she could feel.

She was counting the days.

How many had passed since she last stepped foot outside on her own terms? Since she had last seen the shrine, the café, the faces of those she loved?

A warm breeze carried a few petals through the window, their delicate forms landing beside the Gungi board. Her smile faltered as she reached out, fingers brushing against the pale pink bloom. The petals felt real. Unlike everything else around her.

She closed her eyes for a moment, gripping the flower between her fingers. Then, as if nothing had happened, she turned back to her customers, resuming the game.

But even as she played, her heart remained elsewhere—lost in time, longing for something just beyond her reach.

Hihiii I finally have the time to reply to this!!

AHAHHA you should accumulate all your leave days and go for a long break! If not a short trip to unwind. It'll definitely helppp

RIGHT like UGH this man is so.... UGHH I want to run my hands along his undercut and like HE'S SO PRETTY- I went nuts after watching JJK 0 [I started with the movie idk why] and after watching the series I'm like "I love this man he's so hot and funny at the same time." Then his collab arts... They're always so... He always looks so... Slutty I'm sorry but look at the Dolce and Gabbana art... The Tokyo tower collab too... Idk I can't find a better word to describe him...

Babe I understand that fear it ain't stupid! Not tryna scare you more but I remember when I was like 11? I was on a beach in Phuket when I picked up this super pretty shell buried in the sand. Then uk what? A worm wiggled out of it. I screamed so loud like wtf was that monstrosity 😭😭 I guess a way to prevent sand submerging your feet is to wear sandals or flip flops?

Oh man I never expected that you felt like that once too 😭 I understand the mum hanging you part... I think mine would skin me alive and feed me to my dogs... That's good to hear! I'm really glad you found a job to your liking. Thanks for the advice Chu!🥲🥲 You have no idea how much I appreciate that. It feels like my friends from Secondary school know what they're doing and are slowly leaving me behind ngl... One of my friends is in the same course as me, but in different schools. She got a GPA of 4.0 for the first semester... and cause I flunked my Econs and AI class I got like a 2.9... So yeah I really appreciate your encouraging words 😭

SUSHI ROLL HAHAHA HELPPPP HAHAHAHA Okay but I'm sure you're not like short short. I'm not that tall either ahhaha!

Queen SLAY AHAHHA they definitely deserved it! Even if you didn't speak up, I'm sure someone else would've done the same sooner or later. Fr they're so annoying bruh

Omg nice! Okay to me, "A good day to be a dog" is good. Maybe cause I'm still halfway through... But so far it's good! I find the plot pretty unique! Omg I added Gyeongseong creature to my list ahah! Yeah it actually looks good! Ngl I wasn't a fan of sweet home but I wanna watch Gyeongseong creature cause of Park Seojun hehehe I loved "What's wrong with secretary Kim?" so much!

RIGHT I'M SO SORRY BUT HE'S SO SEXY IN THAT UGHHH

Yes... It's always the food and snacks.... Omgod I get it. Like it's always about exam results and once I'm old enough they'll probs start talking about finding a boyfriend... Then it'll be a job... I'm not ready 🥲🥲 But Fr the only thing I look forward to is the 红包 like trust me I've been ready since last CNY. Take the money as our prize money for enduring the relatives' questions heh. I'm so surprised you celebrate CNY too tho like no offence but I really didn't expect that...

Dissolved is an understatement... Idk I'm probs the one dissolving... HELP confessing your sins?! 🫠🫠 All I did was to pray to my flower agate tower... Did it work? It probably didn't. But it was worth a try! Crystal manifesting is a stressful process you know?

Nono I'm really not smart I just grinded my ass off... I hate my education system..... AND FR Lit is annoying in that sense but I mean it's the closest thing to reading and writing that I have so...

YEAHH They're so cute! I think I have a soft spots for animals in general AHAHH

Exercise... 🫠🫠🫠🫠 What's that?

Thanks sm Chu!! I will! I'm waiting for 3rd March to come cause I'm going for Taytay's concert woohooo That's probably the only good thing that's gonna happen to me this year so I'm gonna cherish it!

Also I'm so happy to be your first emoji anon It's an honour 😫😫

AND your Marius card! He's so hot in that omg and Rosa... ROSA IS SO PRETTY DGSDVXDHJ AHH

I managed to get Luke from the free 10-time! And I'm tryna get Artem now! I haven't gotten an Artem card in ages... Also what do you think about the new event? I think it's pretty cool! Much better than the others!

HAHAHAHAHAH omg that's precisely also my reaction!!😫 you know i first came to know gojo not from jjk but from @/saintobio's sincerely not series. and he is written a prick there so i didn't have a good impression🥲 but then my bf roped me into jjk and then i see it firsthand and AAAA i'm down so bad for this prick uHHHH and that's so true the power behind that undercut is so🥲 that's totally okay i think of him as the best slut there is AHAHAHAH

A WORM😭😭😭 i'd flip and fall😭 i do wear flipflops but still... what's flipflops gonna do against the sand?🫠 during my company retreat last year, i wear flipflops and but my feet would crash against... rocks?🫠 it hurts *sobsobsob* and it got inside my nails i was like 😭

AHAHAHHAAHAH THAT'S SO TRUE OUR MOM😭😭😭 aww you're very much welcome!! i wished someone would say that to me too and i'm glad that you're encouraged🥹 ahh don't worry! GPA isn't everything. in real world, what matters the most is our communication skills and how we present myself🥹 not to brag, but my last GPA is 3.56 and my friend's is like 3.9-ish (nearing perfect omg) but now i got the better exposure and ratings🥲 my team leader says that's because i make friends with everyone and do presentations better than her (simple things like presentations matters a lot apparently i just knew it🥲) but that's not to say that we should ditch our GPA... just study well and do your best! <3 God will do the rest i assure you! don't give up, disco anon!! <3

i relate to you, me and my friends used to be a group of 6, but now the one who sticks with me is just one🥹 it hurts but sometimes that's just the way it is... especially when we don't share the same interest...

PARK SEOJUN is so dayum there omg he's so pristine and aisjdoasjda okay i'm totally normal about him... totally... normal... the plot is unique and i love it but yes, i do have to agree that the CGI looks a bit off🥲 but pay that no mind and just look at park seojoon🥹 everything will be well AHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHA OMG WE'RE SO THE SAMEE i used to get the boyfriend asks a lot and they even tried to set me up!!😭 thank god i found a bf already or else they'll start putting me up for sale😭 that aside, don't take those questions to heart, that's just how nosy aunties are🥹 ah fyi, i'm of chinese descent so i totally celebrate the chinese new year and all of those praying anniversaries that i... don't remember a single thing about🥲

HAHAH THAT'S SO FUNNY pls disco anon don't dissolve😭 omg flower agate tower?? i lit looked it up... what is this?🥹 it looks cute and it says it's for healing... (pls correct me if i'm wrong because... most likely i am...)

oh my!! i'm so happy for you!!🥹 honestly some people in my office have gone to her concert too and i'm interested... but i'm not a fan of being squished in the spectator stands🥲 wishing you to have the most fun there!! <3

CNY at the office and it's always fun because during this season, the boss is always in a good mood, and so are we 😂

I think something happened after work which ended badly so I took magnesium to make sure I fall asleep. Could be a placebo effect but it does help for me.

11th February 2025, Tuesday - Thaipusam holiday Listening: Everything will be Alright, The Killers

My morning was horrible. Spent the ENTIRE morning in bed nursing my massive headache and sniffles. Felt better after Zohor and a nap. Was supposed to meet up at Ara to return a cable but there was a misscomm so headed to 21 and just passed it on.

Difficult, confusing day.

I didn't want to head home so I killed time just parking before eventually buying something to eat, bought panadols and (a sucky) latte at 15 Courtyard.

Night was spent working.

12th February 2025, Wednesday Listening: Just a Girl, No Doubt

Back to work. I wore the tudung that Juls gifted me and I was complimented by YY and others! I guess they've gotten so used to seeing me in neutrals so the moment I wear a different color, it's an instant attention grabber 😂

Lunk was imtiyaz nasi campur and the mamak packed me way too much rice & lauk. Did not finish. The day went swimmingly well and then JT made me realize that it's Chap Goh Mei, so no wonder! Over the years, I have noticed that during Chap Goh Mei, my boss will always be in a better mood as well.

For dins, we decided on Ikea cafeteria which was surprisingly empty. Bought post-wb. Stopped by OU for Whisk but they were closing so 2121 walked to Tim Horton's and so we tried it for the very first time, and....meh.

But then again Im fully aware that people don't actually go to chain cafes for coffee. People go there for their "fun" drinks. I would genuinely go again to try out their dessert iced drinks.

BAD MORNING. Last night's coffee triggered my IB so I spent the morning - noon suffering. Then I recalled 2121 saying that he saw them using dutch lady milk. Damn you dairy!! Thank God today is WFH day.

I bought another post-wb flavor out of impulse. Not proud of the person I am turning into.

Work was decent. Gege's home so that's always fun. Told 2121's story about the masjid people to my Dad and Gege and they had a field day about it! 😂

Managed to ninja my way into finishing one slide in just over an hour, when in actuality I had the entire night last night to prepare it. And the best part was it got approved during my 11am with my Boss 😎

Also today tried this for the very first time via Grab and they are surprisingly decent;

Morning spent vacuuming and doing laundry. Went to Parade to punch holes on my new belt.

Bought lunk. Home. Continued with errands. 2121 called to check in. Went out again to get a car wash and buy unnecessary snacks from the grocers..but this was legit delish;

I've become quite a boring person..

16th February 2025, Sunday - happy birthday to my '76 brother 🎂 Listening: Travelin On, Norah Jones

CSR day! It was surprisingly very tiring to the point of me taking a nap close to 3 hours the moment I got home and showered. It was an eye-opening, humbling experience..

They had several courts at the area and people were all playing pickle ball, lol.

Anyway, aside from the one bad day of the week, the rest was alright. I ate well despite being sick. Hoping for better health for the remainder of the month 🤲🏼

Week 3: Traveling around Singapore Pt1 - Happy Chinese New Year!

Hey everyone! It's been an insanely busy week and even though it's already a little bit late, I'd like to share about my first Chinese New Year (CNY) in Singapore!

The national holidays officially lasted for two days, but here at NTU it was Home-Based Leanring (HBL) Week: With all classes being held online, students took advantage of the time to travel abroad! However, I chose to stay on campus and got to get around Singapore more because I wanted to experience a familiar holiday in a brand new country (and of course, because I had too much coursework to catch up...will get into that in details for later posts).

The campus was quite silent during HBL week, but when Chinese New Year was right around the corner, NTU created a fantastic, festive vibe for the holiday by designing lots of fun activities/games and giving out prizes!

CNY Event

And here comes my trips for the week:

Marina Bay Sands & Gardens by the Bay

On Saturday, I took MRT to the east side to meet with my friend. We went to Lau Pa Sat - a famous Hawker Centre with a variety of food options. My friend recommended me to get Satays (like Southeast Asian kebabs) with iced lemon tea, and that was literally ONE OF THE BEST MEALS I'VE HAD IN SINGAPORE SO FAR!

After eating we had a chill walk to nearby areas: Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. They are super popular for tourists to visit because you can see how a city is integrated in gradens, a fabulous combination of city and nature views! Marina Bay Sands is a fancy hotel with a huge amount of restaurants, luxury stores and bars (basically a mall). My friend and I wandered around for a bit (everything was TOO EXPENSIVE) and headed to Gardens by the Bay. It was so comfortable just walking around those spacious gardens, and seeing plants and flowers. And Supertree Grove - as shown in the picture below - is an area with giant Supertrees and they are home to a lot of plant lives! I was stunned by this amazing view as I felt like I was in a rainforest surrounded by tall buildings.

Supertree Grove in the afternoon! (it was unfortunately cloudy)

Chinese New Year's Eve: Chinatown & Firecrackers

And here I was at Gardens by the Bay again - but on Chinese New Year's Eve to see firecrackers! The firecrackers show was at midnight, so we went to Chinatown to grab dinner first. Chinese New Year's Eve is a time when all family members gather together to have a "reunion dinner," and thus lots of restaurants and shops were closed pretty early. We still managed to find a Chinese restaurant, order a few iconic dishes and share them together as a celebration. Almost everywhere in Chinatown was full of festive vibes - decorations, New Year's songs, and PEOPLE!

A peek at Chinatown (it was less crowded here so I could finally take a pic)

After walking around Chinatown (and trying to get away from the crowds), we headed over to Gardens by the Bay! The second visit felt completely different because Supertree Grove looked FANTASTIC at night, like a movie setting! While admiring the beauty of glowing Supertrees, we also got to watch singing/traditional dance/martial arts live performances, and most importantly, see the firecrackers to officially welcome the Snake Year!

Supertree Grove at night :)

Movies & Malls

Now that I had explored a little bit of the east side, it was time to get to know more about areas around campus. Even though the campus is distant from the city center, we can still find fun things to do! There are three main malls near NTU - Jurong Point, Jurong East and Clementi. Students love going there on weekends or even after class on weekdays because it's easy to commute just by buses and MRT. For the rest of the break, I hung out with friends at malls and also went to movies at Clementi!

Movie Day! (We actually saw My Neighbor Totoro, not Sonic 3...)

That's it for Chinese New Year! I'm so glad that I got to see how locals celebrated it and had a chance to travel around Singapore with friends. Look forward to many more explorations to come :)

新年快樂!

Loneliness becomes a confusing thing to me who has the soul of a social butterfly but not its body nor its wings. How shall a bird take flight without its wings? But should the bird without a soul spread its wings and fly?

I yearn for the interaction and the embrace of people. I believe a full day should be utilized to its full potential when hanging out with one's dearest friends. When does it seem clear that I cling too close to these people?

A problem I face is that I'm unsure how to differentiate between true romantic affection or platonic relationships. My dearest friend who I have spent most of my days with since elementary school until now may be as a brother to me all those years, but in a blink of an eye, I shall question it. Am I merely friends with him or do I like him? My heart is heavy as I try to understand my feelings. How shall others perceive me when I don't even truly understand myself?

I mistake true romance, true friendship, and true siblinghood. I mistake admiration with romantic affection. When my Taekwondo coach, who does very high kicks that look like straight lines and fights courageously and who gives off youthful vibes from his mullet and his speech and manner, performs impeccably in his poomsaes, do I cheer and clap for him because I admire him and wish to be like him one day or is it because I like him? The thought of it is preposterous, I'm sure of that, but it feels like it, although I'm very sure and aware of its immorality and how it's a vile thought. Did I glee because he noticed my Babymetal shirt and said, "You're a concert kid, too?" (a very direct translation from "kamu anak konser juga?" in which anak konser or concert kid means frequent concert-goer), and then fistbumped me, which was then commented by another coach who said we were similar to each other ("kalian sefrekuensi") that stretched until that night where I couldn't sleep because I kept on thinking about it? Did I squeal mentally when he praised me for having high kicks that were still leagues below his kicks? Is that still admiration, or is that affection? Where does the line begin and end?

When are actions done for formality, when are they done consciously, or when are they done merely for the attention of others? When are actions done for the attention of others, when are they done with affection, and when are they done 'only as friends'? When he returns my hug, is it because he truly wants to reciprocate the action, or is it because he feels the need to because of our mere status of dating? Is he someone who I loved dearly with my entire heart, truly because of his charm, his personality, the way he talks, the way he interacts with me, the way he carries me in every game he played with me, the way his body towers over mine in height and size, the way calls me by my first name rather than my online tag or my nickname, his 6.79/7 report card grade that his mother was deeply disappointed in, the way he helped me with my homework despite me bragging about being one of the smartest in my grade, the way he buys me things or pays for me, the way he insists I should never ever ever repay him, the way he called me 100 times worrying about me when I was asleep for half a day, the way he accepted my confession by saying thank you first and giving me a heart attack, or was it because I was desperate to experience the love from others and hopping on a trend called dating? Were the tears I cried on the night he broke up with me because he was busy with school by Discord call because I was devastated he'd 'leave' me despite saying I was the most important to him and I'd one day celebrate Chinese New Year's after I said I didn't after he'd wish me a happy and prosperous CNY, or was it because I was devastated I no longer had a status and someone to stick to like glue? Is he someone who I genuinely loved, or someone who I used like a pillow to cling to in my sleep? Did I want him or did I want to feel what it felt like yearning for him?

It's ironic that I have the childish incapability to understand these 'mature' themes although wanting to grow up fast. I'm very mature for my age, I swear. I'm more advanced in studies and mental capabilities than the average person of my age, I swear. But that shall be another topic for another day. I must not dwell about so many problems in the span of 4 hours at midnight. It's not good for my brain.

Does a flightless bird wish for the ability to fly? Does it ever question its ancestors' decisions to give up the freedom in flying? To cage itself to the ground by choice is a tragedy. Why? Did the bird find pointlessness in flight unless it was absolutely essential? Does the soulful bird with no wings have to lose its soul, too? The flightless bird won't gain the ability to soar its wings in the sky, no, but there's no saying that the soulless bird won't find freedom in the sky it mindlessly soared in.

Find solace in seeking opportunity, dear bird. One day, the skies shall welcome you with open arms. The endless seeking will conclude by the seeked revealing itself. Heaven has a fate set for you.

[ Jordan & Emma ]

Every night before I go to bed, I get to see my two little babies cuddled up nice and warm in their beds. I think about how blessed I am to have 2 perfect children in my life. How did I get so lucky?

I’m so happy to see them growing well, yet at the same time I feel so sad to know that this phase is slipping by day by day. From infants to toddlers to pre schoolers… time has gone by so quickly I wish I had more time to relish in their baby-ness and cuteness!

This CNY I had the privilege to join them in school for celebrations. The experience was a reminder of how our presence means the world to them. When Jordan walked up on stage, we could see his eyes immediately scanning around, desperate to spot a familiar face. I started to wave frantically because I was so worried he would lose me in the sea of people and think that I wasn’t there cheering him on. He spotted my wave, and his face lit up instantly. A shy smile grew on his face and he returned a shy wave. No words could describe that moment, the unspoken connection that we had from that fleeting moment of waving to each other. I wanted him to know that I was there and I cared for everything he did. <3

When it was time for Mei Mei’s celebration, I was shown to her holding classroom. She walked out of the room, unaware that Mummy was waiting. When she turned her head and saw me, her face lit up too! She jumped for joy and shouted “Mummy!!” in her cute baby voice. She jumped up to me and gave me such a big heart, and my day was instantly made. She showed me around excitedly and started playing with all the games. It was such a fun experience to have just between me and her. Our first mother daughter bonding experience. <3

Thank you Lord for the wonderful kids you have blessed us with. We promise to do our best as parents and to be there for them always!

[makeitmingi]

even during cny my school doesn't go easy on us :( I have like 7 more tests then we'll get a short break that I'm looking forward to

I hope your cny has been going great I was craving keuh lapis this year and my neighbors gave me some :D I'm happy that you managed to figure out how to make it (ive heard it's very hard)

oh and speaking of baking I've been trying to make macarons but my shells always come out flat and I was wondering if you have any tips

I'm looking forward to the next chapter of tcdg and everything else you have in store :D have a great day and remember to drink water <33

-☁️

☁️ anon!! happy cny!!

i totally get you though, i was doing work in between house visits and cooking. i just focused on doing my essays and skipped class for the week because my sleep schedule was just GONE (sleeping only 2 hours a night after a full day of stuff) i'm getting back to the uni grind now though, i have some submissions and group projects due soon

i'm happy to hear that you get a break though!! you deserve it after working so hard and managing all your assignments :( rooting for you all the way hehehe make sure to take breaks and take care of yourself!! that's the most important thing

my cny has been great!! tiring, but great. my family and i have been cooking non stop and i've been baking like MAD!!!! seriously, reunion dinner with both my families is no joke... yes, kueh lapis is really not easy but i'm glad i can say i tackled it and it brought me closer to both my grand aunts, who i only see once a year during cny

now i'm in recovery since i've put my body through the wringer. my chronic pain has been flaring up so i'll take it easy over the next few days

for macarons, it could be that you overmixed the batter after adding your icing sugar and almond mill, causing all the air from your egg whites to be knocked out and the shells to come out too thin. it has happened to me before. i would say, fold everything in and just leave it once it is incorporated

CNY 2024

Today is Chinese New Year and I'm at my place after a weekend spent with parents back in my hometown. As I'm driving back Spotify's daily playlist for me includes all of my high school throwbacks and for a moment I'm transformed back to that time.

When I think of that time I also think of my parents and how much younger they were. 10 years makes a big difference when you're young but it's also visible in the faces of older loved ones.

Today especially I am thinking of my parents and the amount of changes they've experienced in the past 10 years. It's so easy for me to fall prey to sadness because I don't know I definitely have that prone to sadness situation going on but one that doesn't rise to the level of diagnosable depression.

As I am laying here I think of my dad, who is always so selfless. My dad who takes care of so much so that my mom and I can have great experiences. From sitting out shows and excursions so that my mom and I can go when I was younger to *fast forward me as a 31 year old* sending me a venmo returning the $1000 red envelope I gave him today.. he just wants the best for me forever. I need to keep my happiness anchored instead of bobbing around feeling sadness about a loss that has not occurred.

Thank you dad. For all the emotions today- which will end with happiness because that's what you would want for me.

[sleepystar2025]

Calling CNY Lunar New Year is incorrect, because it just can't be, like an apple can't be a pear. As the video mentioned, if it's based only on lunar calendar solely, then the Chinese New Year date should fall to the summer months, then why they rely on the date set by Nanjing Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory each year? Why they align with Chinese perpetual calendar万年历 every year? Because the algorithm is too complex for them to figure out on their own. This algorithm includes heavenly stems and earthly branches, as well as Chinese agricultural feng shui. If the Chinese New Year date is calculated solely based on lunar calendar, then it will fall on June 27, 2025 this year. So calling it Lunar New Year is totally disrespectful to Chinese culture and its cultural identity. The comment section in the video said For all who want to celebrate LUNER NEW YEAR, please celebrate on June 27, 2025 AD. BUT January 29, 2025 is the CHINESE NEW YEAR which is Chunjie or Spring Festival. Chinese New Year is from the Chinese calendar, not from the lunar calendar.

No offense but you crudely implying that other Chinese are gatekeeping, then they surely can take that as you are supporting cultural appropriation and de-sinicization, because you don't even bother to discuss the fact that calling CNY Lunar new year is culturally and academically wrong and lacks basis. It's a big stunt of de-sinicization, which by your logic English should be called globalish because we all speak English, and we want to feel inclusive. If there is a need to pick a more inclusive term, why not the term chunjie, spring festival? Spring Festival is already registered with the United Nations, why don't use it instead of LNY? Why remove the “Chinese” from every concept that originated in China and is originally Chinese culture like they always do? This is what the western world has been doing for a long time, and if you are Chinese but support what they are doing, are you still surprised that many westerners are racists towards Chinese, this is how they treat the Chinese for a long time, by marginalizing you and your culture. They make you as invisible as the elephant in the room, and anyone who is aware of your presence is oblivious to you.

I asked my Korean friend, who, please note, is not a Korean born in a Western country, she was born in Jilin province Yanbian Korean autonomous region and raised in South Korea, and she confirmed with me that Korea never celebrated the term LNY before the 2010s, they just aligned with Chinese new year and called it 설날. This word doesn't remove its Chinese New Year origin. It was in the last couple of years that they suddenly started to appropriated a lot of Chinese culture but rename it and obscure its cultural identity, and she told me that it is true that Korea celebrated 설날 each year on the date set by the Nanjing Zijinshan Astronomical Observatory, rather than on some kind of lunar calendar new year date, and that she didn't understand why South Korea government suddenly did that in the past couple years, banning Chinese people from saying Chinese New Year in western world, and she finds the whole thing ridiculous.

No hard feelings and have a nice happy Chinese New Year.

It's always Chinese New Year because Lunar New Year is a fake concept, calling Chinese New Year Lunar New Year is actually cultural appropriation, unless you guys are willing to let Chinese call Christmas Koreanmas

This video explains very clearly that the Chinese New Year is determined by the Nanjing Zijinshan Observatory, the date of each year is different, and the determination method is complicated, combining the solar calendar, the lunar calendar, the celestial trunk and earthly branches, and the geographical latitude and longitude. Chinese New Year is actually based on Chinese agriculture calendar, not a simple lunar calendar at all, if it's based only on lunar calendar, then the Chinese New Year date should fall close to the summer months, so calling it LNY is not only disrespectful to Chinese culture, but also unreasonable.
