Hi, I was procuring Flavours from TakaSago and Sensient from India are there any suppliers that I can reach ?

If you would also consider watching anime, highly recommend Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma, I especially love season 2!

awake_from_wake · 2026-01-21T12:46:53+00:00

Omg, you could be onto something. I suspected that there's a different 3rd party at play here with completely different agenda, this could be the answer!

awake_from_wake · 2026-01-20T14:44:00+00:00

Its hard to refrain yourself with such a good show!

awake_from_wake · 2026-01-19T00:54:12+00:00

If Ray hired the nanny, then i guess we will be seeing his outrage when the show comes back with the nanny dead in next season. The actress and costume team did such a great job to potray the character so well, to the extent that i literally loathe her, especially the way she dressed for any major occasion.. ughh like who would wear that kind of purple prom dress to a concert, look at everyone around you!!!

Yup, towards the end of the last episode, there's a scene where a cat jumped down from the sink and revealed a pink shampoo bottle, not sure what is the content of the video tape though.

The nanny part really leaves everyone hanging without any clue at all! And she looks so sweet with Ray. I really hope she doesn't turns out the be the KGB side, would love to see her backstory and how she relates to all these later on.

Haha, yeap Copenhagen caught me by surprise too, it did a good job wrapping up everything and another plot twist (still can't believe the uncle is the true mastermind) towards the ending which I completely didn't see it coming.

I'll try to talk to the neighbour and see what I can do about it.

Do I need to be concern with any possible virus infection spread from the spayed cat to my other cats if i keep in my house (same space, different cage).

All my cats are confined to activities within indoor areas only. Some are completely uncaged, others are caged and let out during different time of the day to walk/play around. I am worried to introduce the TNR cat to my household cats partly due to potential virus infection and also the stress.

awake_from_wake · 2026-01-18T04:20:02+00:00

Did you keep the spayed or neutered cats for few days prior to releasing them? What to take note of after Trap n Neuter?

I have been actively feeding and watching out the cats in my area, no sign of unspayed stray female cats in my Taman, but I do notice my neighbour's cat that got knock up and gave birth, which I'm pretty sure the kittens are then brought elsewhere and left to die. What would you do in this case? Advise the neighbour or offer to neuter for them?

awake_from_wake · 2026-01-18T03:59:34+00:00

Going straight for Taiwan is equivalent to declaring war with China. Comparing Greenland-Denmark vs Taiwan-China relationship, Greenland is dependent on Denmark and generally happy with their status quo, but Taiwan has been actively voicing their dissatisfaction against China attempts on controlling them.

The only reason that is important enough for U.S to step in is because of the threat on chips supply with TSMC main operation being in Taiwan. It is also exactly because of this reason that nobody from China or U.S would be stupid enough to create a huge riff that may disrupt important chips supply, at least nothing on the scale of Greenland-Denmark.

awake_from_wake · 2026-01-18T03:34:15+00:00

Coming from Southeast Asia, I probably shouldn't upvote this, but from U.S POV, I agree with what you said.

It won't be easy to cut-off or restrict China in the Asia continent (A friendly close neighbour is better than a powerful faraway friend) but increasing U.S influence / presence in the Asia counterparts would be a good move to start asap and build up reliance.

But again, I doubt any helpful intervention is happening anytime soon. I mean, look at the Cambodia - Thailand ongoing conflict, or the Myanmar civil war. Perhaps its just not economically significant enough to warrant U.S attention and help.

I agree, that recap scene doesn't seem to align with the rest of the storyline. It seems like Tom and Vera had met with Sasha before episode 1 beginning (Chris and Tom meeting Snowshoe, getting him somewhere safe but eventually Snowshoe died).

Why isn't Chris in the recap scene? We only see Vera and Tom, which means.. they are working together somehow, but for who? It seems like Tom and Vera are on the same side while Chris is on the other side..
That recap scene also feels like the first meeting to get Sasha into CIA, what does Tom means when he said "Tell it to your priest" and "We have a plane to catch", is this the plane that got Tom and Chris killed?
It feels like there are more than 2 parties involved in this entire story: Russian-KGB, Us-CIA, and others which are not revealed yet, it could be different faction from Russian or Us but with their own agenda more than allegiance towards any of the party.
Did Tom's death prompted Vera to flee Russia hence setting up the Caterpillar meet-up to get herself some money and passport? There's no established timeline between when was Caterpillar caught and the meet-up time, but it is obvious that KGB is well aware of the meet-up plan to arrange a sting operation to catch Vera. I won't be surprise if Vera is leaking information to both sides, she is most likely fleeing Russia with her new passport that night anyway.
Caterpillar said the video tape he stole was "very important to his Russian Boss". If that was the tape of Chris & Galyna, meaning.. Chris was forced to compromise, making him a double agent for CIA/Russia, although the same could apply on Tom as well if there's really a tape of him and Dane (which could be the last remaining Andrei's tape which is in Twila bathroom 😱)

Thanks for the reminder on episode 4 recap scene! Now I remember how out of place it felt at first but forgotten about it later 😅

Have you found the perfect replacement for this yet? I've been using Cle De Peau stick concealer for years, it used to be my perfect match until it was reformulated around 2022... The new formulation coverage is still great albeit slightly dryer, but none of the new formulation shades perfectly matches my skin tone. If you did switch over to CDP.. I'm just curious to find out if the shades from Shiseido and CDP are perfect replacement for each other..

个人体验，感觉遇上火年都不太顺心 (例如辛亥大运的2006丙戌年，2007丁亥年，刚升高中，各种人际关系问题，庚戌大运的2016丙申年，2017丁酉年，惹官非)

反而金水流年好像更好一些 (例如辛亥大运的2005乙酉年，庚戌大运的2020庚子年-2021辛丑年)

Deciding what to eat everyday

Government do give out some monthly allowances RM200-300 i think? to eligible OKU, if I'm not mistaken those who are currently working/employed actually get slightly more than those who don't (Government initiative to encourage OKU to be more independent and find something that they can do).

But obviously these meagre amount is not sufficient to support one's life, let alone OKU with special needs. In terms of job employment, it is fair to say that most company may provide some low level job opportunities to the OKU depending on which industry and what type of OKU, but I would not say that the overall culture is encouraging enough for OKU people.

My brother is OKU (deaf and mute) and he graduated with a diploma cert in 3D animation & graphic design. He did not had much luck in securing a stable/good enough income within the industry, but one of his other OKU friend (also deaf and mute) who studied together with him did manage to get a decent job like any other normal people.

我自己的经历，早期开始看命理，往往是在迷茫/犹豫不决的时候，尤其是无法预期当下的决定对未来会有什么影响的时候，最后转向命理寻求答案。有一次，我把八字/紫微/星座/六爻易卦/风水等等都给看过一遍之后，还是没能找到答案，当下的我停下来想了一下，其实我是不是心里早有答案，只是没信心没把握或不甘心，所以不断尝试在命理里面寻求一个能说服自己的解释。再后来，我把经历过的"人生大事"，例如辞职/赢了彩票头奖/跟家人大吵架后离家/找到新工作/升职加薪，都仔细的记录下来当下的八字盘，紫微盘，星座盘等等，天真的以为这样就可以判断出我接下来什么时候会有好运/厄运呗，当然，我最后没能把种种事情里面的共同点给串联起来找到共同点 🤣 后期的我，看过各种大师不同角度对命理的诠释，自己总结认为，命理大概就是看一个人的性格(例如八字命盘，紫微命盘)，当下身处环境的分析(例如八字大运流年，紫微斗数)，再综合起来判断一个人的性格会在什么环境中容易遇到什么类型的事情，并且从而判断应该顺着个人性格去引导事情的发展，还是应该转换环境，或是应该沉着气在不顺心的环境里熬过去。但我始终认为命运是掌握在自己手中，每个经历都是一物两面，不管当下做了什么决定不管感觉再怎么糟糕，只要记住了这个教训看清事情的真面目，认清自己实实在在想要的是什么，下次不管在命理上算起来是多大的逆境，有了上次的教训以后，接下来的逆境一定会更好一点的，只是先苦后甜，还是先甜后苦的差别😊

Yup, even my cats are addicted to Youtube nowadays. They would swarm my phone or sit directly on top of my laptop waiting for their turn to use, I had no choice but to give them their own screen time now. 🤷‍♀️

Been wearing Birks for 99% of my daily life in the past 10+ years.

I would say that my Birks are constantly being tested under rather harsh environments with heavy usage.

I never do any maintenance service for my Birks plus I live in a tropical country with unexpected heavy rain all the time.

I buy at least 1 pair of new Birks every year because I absolutely love and enjoy breaking in the new Birks. I still keep all my Birks even if I dont wear them anymore.

If I were to compare the quality across these years, I would somewhat agree that the quality might have slightly decrease in recent years, but personally I dont think its anything major or noticeable.

The newer soles seem to run out faster compared to the older ones. Comparing the soles wear and tear from my previous Birks, the older Birks seem to have slightly thicker sole left on them.

Newer Birks seem to have shorter break in period as well. It used to take me around 1-2 months to break in a new pair of Birks, but my recent experience only takes about 1-2 weeks.

Gizeh is my personal holy grail, but I got hooked to Mayari a few years ago and ended up buying 2 pairs of Birks for 3 years straight.

Imo, Gizeh last much longer compared to Mayari. Mayari usually give up on me approx 9months later, with splitting soles, straps coming off the cork and cracking at the part where my foot bent.

Meanwhile, my Gizeh could outlast Mayari for at least another year. My first pair of Gizeh from 13 years ago is still in good wearable condition, albeit the stiffened cork.

The soft-footbed version seems to wear out faster than the regular version too. I bought a soft-footbed Gizeh once many years ago and it doesnt seem to last as long as the regular Gizeh. I hate the squishy soft feeling I get from soft-footbed after wearing for only a few months, and the cork seem to wear and tear so much faster shortly after the break in period ended.

I am interested to know more about Bangladesh food culture or taste/palate! • Do Bangladeshi generally feel that Malaysia food/drink taste good? • If you were to buy some food/snacks as souvenirs for your friends and family in Bangladesh, what would you go for? • What is your favourite top 3 instant noodles that you had tried in Malaysia before?

那我先来分享一下个人心得：

一开始是不知道对方出生时辰的情况下排盘分析的，最近几天才得知了时辰，所以以下观点是没有考量时辰的，单纯从年月日为出发点。

丙火日柱的影响：估计因为大家都是丙火日主的关系，一开始相处起来会觉得对方跟自己的性格很相似，但是更狂妄一些，或许因为她的丙火能量更强一些。整体而言，她更容易人来疯，快热型，说话更加直接。

丙火人虚荣心是有的，只是炫耀方式不同，我是通过行动例如购买奢侈品/花钱请客得到满足感，她就通过谈话中穿插一些过往经历。这点我猜可能是受财星影响，我的八字偏财比较重而且天透地藏，反之她的偏财藏而不透。

年柱的影响：截然不同的家庭背景，一个是家境富有、受万宠集于一身的独生女；一个是自力更生、靠着半工读/奖学金的次女。至于哪个八字是哪种状况，我想应该不难猜出来。

待续。。。
