Tuesday Lunch Gathering (2/30)

At 8 o'clock in the evening, I began to write the journal. It's been a wonderful day.

I arrived at WuGu at 10:30 with a box of peeled honeydew melon. Bother Jimmy was dozing all by himself in the dark hall on the second floor. I watched Brother Jimmy savor the honeydew melon. Then we went downstairs to chat in the lobby till 12 noon (2/30), I also took some time massage Brother Jimmy's feet.

I convinced Brother Jimmy with success to have lunch with me. We got on Bus 982 at 12:05 and got off at XingFu Station. Bother Jimmy ordered a big mac set menu, I ordered a double layers chicken burger. Later on we shared a McFlurry together. We chatted till 2 o'clock. Brother Jimmy looked contented, took Bus 982 back to WuGu, I took the MRT yellow line to Dapingling. As soon as I got home, I took a nap till 5 o'clock.

My husband made a glass of dragonfruit milk juice upon my request. I enjoyed the new recipe very much. After I cleaned my teeth alighment, I took Bus Green 13 to the JinXin Library to collect three books I requested online, and borrowed 12 newly arrived DVDs. 

In the evening, I watched the 2023 Korean DVD "Strike Dolphin", talking about a 35-year-old woman with a troubled childhood, living with her mother and younger brother in a small seaside village where she works for the local newsletter. When her mother announces plans to sell their house and her brother insists on moving to Seoul, she struggles to accept the changes but discovers solace at a bowling alley.

Even I could only understand a few conversation lines in Korean, I found it entertaining to see the life in a small Korean seaside village, and how family members, strangers, and friends struggled to run their everyday lives.
