Lots of people have a list when they do grocery shopping. You follow your list, which comprises of things in random order as you write. You run around aisle from aisle. Alternatively, there’re iPhone apps that sort your items by their locations.
But what role does a supermarket play in reminding or recommending relevant items? Say, you bought some bread, there’s a little card next to loaves of bread that suggest (as a friendly reminder too!) butter, or cheese (who doesn’t love cheese on toast?!).
We already see similar practices on sites like Amazon, when you are prompted suggestions of addition purchases - related based on taste but nonetheless completely independent items. In a supermarket however, suggestions are more to compliment your recipes. So the card next to boxes of breadsticks could be parma ham, in case your usual is dip in olive oil and vinegar. The recommendation changes from time to time, as the objective is to spice up your routines.
i’m sad to say i’m no longer a biscuit person.
A fond childhood memory is mom awarding me with bags of yummy M&S cheese triangles when i patiently studied with her. Still love them, but i’m finding the dryness of biscuits too much for my mouth. i guess i’ll have to keep looking for some really good ones.
Lately my brain has been so active when I sleep I don’t think I’m getting enough quality sleep:(
In one of the episodes, I went to a huge mansion somewhere in the UK to live with a family temporarily. Having my camera with me, even in my dream I worked very hard to frame the person I was shooting before some gorgeous doors. I think I didn’t nail the shot…
I have this feeling that this mansion really exists. I still remember the details of the place, so I’ll know if I ever come across anything similar! As usual, I’m mixing dream & reality together:)
It feels natural resting our arms on the table, but very often we do so without checking if the table is clean. In many places the tables are almost never cleaned, inevitably we end up embarrassing ourselves with debris stuck on our elbows.
The Elbow Bibs are two patches with elastics to strap onto your elbows. Fold to store when not in use. They’re waterproof & machine-washable.
i have always know my mental health is super high maintenance, but other than discovering my conditions and sometimes over analyzing them, i don’t think i have tried really hard to improve my mental health.
But i’m glad i’m consciously working on it now. That is, i try to keep my negative emotions from lingering too long, and i’m not letting myself to be hurt so easily (be it by my self depreciation or by other people’s un/intentional remarks). etc etc etc.
i am trying, and very hard too.
Just want to put this on record.
Bro said he found a tube of wasabi in a kitchen drawer. It expired in 1994 - 17 long years ago. I couldn’t stop laughing. It’s so ridiculous yet so typical of the Poon’s household.
Then i remembered 1994. Not only Mom would still be around, Grandma would too. In fact it was the year she died, the first death I experienced. Other deaths followed, that of real people I know.
I was suddenly drawn into the family life before and after Grandma’s death. <my minds skipped> Somehow I think the wasabi tube must belong to the days of before…
