Told my sister to stop giving me updates on the relatives. Even if it was to mock them. The exact line was “I don't wanna hear anymore about those liars”.

I'm a bit angry because the flight ticket was very expensive. That cuts down the gift budget to zero. And to punish them further, I will make them buy gifts for me!
There is a common saying among Vietnamese “Business is all about luck”. That's why you always see a small rectangle thing in front of every shop and restaurant in Vietnam. It is to pray for fortune and luck. Especially in the North, if you go to a shop in the early morning and don't buy anything, they will even harass you.
It's very jarring for me as an atheist. I don't think my parents believe in those things very much. Because we never got rich once. Although praying did work for my family in the beginning. Because my parents prayed for us sisters to have good grades and good health. And we did, get a lot of good grades (especially me!), despite our high IQ. And we never got stomach-related issues, despite never being able to afford snacks or fast food.
I heard that in Germany, people do the opposite and believe business is all about analysis and how you calculate failures. Rather than actually doing the thing and testing it in real time and seeing the failures for yourself. I don't know how much of that is true about the German.
But I think analysis only applies to a very, super huge big established business. It doesn't apply to a small business or startup. In retail, you don't know which one will sell. So you try 10 SKUs, and if you are lucky, only one will sell. The 10 SKU is the data that only you have that is relevant to you. Without testing, you have zero data. Which is why you should test as soon as possible.
I'm actually thinking of something from my grandma's that you may like.
Have to go visit my parents during the Lunar New Year (11th Feb – 19th Feb) to check if they did a good job with the shopping task I asked them few months ago.
They always act like if I don't visit them during holidays, the two of them will cry in the yard in the loneliness with flower petals falling on them. But when I actually visit them, they don't even give me special treatment. Just kind of like every other day.
Hello handsome boy.
I never understand the holidays. Dad doesn’t seem to understand either. But my parents had a book to pray to the ancestors. They never actually remembered the verses. They only went through the book right after they boiled the chicken and found the part that applied.
So I thought “my hometown was pretty lame”. But no way Munich was perfect. Nowhere is. It must have been lame too. Just probably in a different way. So me and Gemini were trying to draw the parallels.
I didn’t find any new puzzle pieces. But I found the logic of why some of the puzzle pieces were missing in the first place!
I have to say, coffee tastes a lot better in my new mug.
I also have a spare mug. It's kind of big. I bought it online so I didn’t know that it's that big in reality.
I'm gonna read my bootleg cartoons for a bit. Good night, Marten.
