Are there still beautiful things?

 We spent the whole afternoon into the night of yesterday at Putrajaya Hospital coz Shu's mum was really sick. We had no idea what was happening at the time and Shu's dad was freaking out so much coz everything seemed to have descended so quickly. It turns out that one of her antibiotics gave her a really bad allergic reaction and that her body couldn't cope. She was discharged late last night.

None of us could go in to see her coz there was so much restriction. I think it was also the COVID-19 prevention step. The kids and I were in the car the whole time. Shu kept going back and forth but he couldn't get in to see his mum anyways. It was raining the whole day yesterday.

The sky looks like we're gonna have a massive downpour today just as much.

I love rain. It makes me happy. I also love sunshine. I am probably a plant.

Anywho, I spent a lot of time last week talking about girl things with someone who wanted to know about things like facial toners and skincare all the way to makeup and health. Seriously, I am not the best person to talk about these things to. However, I would only recommend things that I truly love.

Anyways, the conversation then lead on to being a woman. Like a ladylike woman, if it makes sense. It's strange coz I have never thought of myself to be a "woman" woman. I'm just me. I love makeup only because of the things it can do. Like a form of art. Sometimes, I'd glam up just coz I feel like it or if the occasion is suitable or calls for it. I love making myself looks like aliens or weird creatures.

I think as far as my skin goes, I spent so much time growing up being made fun of coz of my skin. I had a lot of zits in my teens. I get laughed at a lot so I had to look into skincare at a very young age. I am doing things and buying and using things that works for me. It's changed so much over the years anyways. Especially after giving birth.

When I was asked about how romantic Shu is towards me, I just say he's always been himself. If you consider being romantic as always buying me flowers, well, he doesn't buy me flowers but he likes to shop for me. He could spend so much on clothes just online. I could wait somewhere for like a smoothie or something and let him stroll around with the kids and he'd come back with something for me. There was this one time, he was waiting for coffee (for me) so he decided to go walk around and decided to get me something. I was at home at the time. He remembers dates,anniversaries and stuff. I'm not very good at it.

It turns out that not all men are like that. My dad isn't like that. At least not from what I see. It was weird to know that not everyone goes lingerie shopping with their spouses. Erm, if I had something that was a major turn off for Shu, he'd let me know and I would get rid of it. We always talk about what we're into. No matter how intimate or personal it is. I don't have friends and I don't have anyone to talk to so I will always talk to him or refer to him about anything.

I always tell him how crazy and complicated I am. Not sure if it's coz I was raised to believe that or I really just am as such. Either ways, we always have a good laugh about it.
