Am I love bombing you, baby?!
A little bit, sometimes, yes…
You’re the one writing the blog, how am I the one love bombing you?!!?
(Chuckles) I’m just kidding…
Did you eat?
Yes… after work, I felt really hungry and I went to KFC… now I’m watching Severance S2E2…
How is it?
It’s okay… I think the manager lady dresses like my high school art teacher and it’s not that realistic of women in corporate positions that I’ve worked with…
(LOL) How do they dress?
Just normal… business suits for women…
Like Hilary Clinton!?
(LOL) Not that formal… softer fabrics but still suit style tailoring…
Oh I see…
The stiffer fabrics just don’t make sense in Australia. It’s too hot. Nobody’s wearing stiff, thick pant suits. Well — not in Queensland, at least. Maybe Melburnians might wear them. I’m not sure…
(Nodding)… What else happened at work today?
Well… I was just daydreaming about moving in with you…
(Giggles) Tell me more about those daydreams…
Well, we’re not getting mirrors on our ceilings…
(Still giggling about this)…
Did you know, I used to walk through IKEA with Taiwanese Bestie just for a fun day out. We would go to IKEA and pretend that we lived in those scenes — you know, with the display kitchens and bedrooms. And we’d just talk and joke and laugh about different scenarios…
(Chuckles)
Sometimes we’d take selfies… if it was something that I really, really loved… “Oh, I wish I lived here…”
IKEA daydreaming…
Yes! And then we’d have lunch at the café. I do like their Swedish meatballs… or the salmon salad… and then I would say, “I don’t need to be a rich wife. I just want a guy who can afford IKEA furnishings for the whole house.”
HAHAHAHAHAAH… Do you still feel that way?!
No… not really… it feels more like something an early-20s girl would say on a sitcom. It’s not really realistic… I actually told Mum once and she said, “IKEA furniture is too cheap. Aim for a better furniture store, like FREEDOM. Marry a man who can afford FREEDOM furniture.”
FREEDOM?
It’s another furniture store chain in Australia…
Is it expensive?
More than IKEA but it’s not like the MOST posh or boogie… there’s other stores that are more expensive than FREEDOM…
But your Mum likes FREEDOM — I actually like the name, it’s interesting…
Yeah… I guess in her mind… it’s a good store…
Do you like decorating homes?
I used to play games… like Sims, etc… and some other interior decoration games… yeah… I guess I like it… as a visual hobby…
Do you want to furnish our new home together?
Not really…
Oh?! Why not?!
Because — I’m studying cybersecurity! I don’t have time for this!!! I don’t mind if you hire an interior designer to do it. And then when I start moving in — if I see something that I think could be replaced by something else I’ve seen at the shops, then I’m happy to organise the replacement, and then whatever the interior designer picked can be donated to a charity op shop. Maybe RSPCA op shop.
Oh… okay… what kind of interior styles do you like?
I don’t know… as long as it looks nice and clean… I don’t mind…
You’re just saying that… I’m sure you have a lot of opinions about interiors…
I can’t think of anything specific right now, I’m still full from the KFC… I’m not hangry or anything so I’m really feeling easygoing right now. As long as the bedsheets are 100% cotton or 100% linen, I guess?
I hadn’t thought about that…
Well, I think polyester bed sheets are a bit itchy. It would be best to get 100% cotton or linen — maybe even organic? Or bamboo, I don’t mind bamboo either.
(Nodding) (Taking notes)…
(LOL) — You want me comfy in bed…?
(Smiling)
(Giggles) And maybe some candles or LEDs… essential oil diffusers…?
Essential oil diffusers?
Yeah… get a nice one… romantic shape? I don’t know… soft curves, no harsh edges. There’s some feng shui theories about it…
Oh — should I get a Feng Shui consultant?
(Shrugs shoulders) Maybe…? I don’t mind… I think they would be able to figure out a good way to arrange things. But be careful! I once saw that Donald Trump had allegedly consulted a Feng Shui Master — LOOK HOW THAT TURNED OUT.
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL)…
