I have been getting into aroids recently. In the past, I did have a fruit salad plant, Monstera deliciosa, but I have to get rid of it as it was getting too big and took up too much space in my little balcony. Another reason was there were already a couple of this plant in the garden beds around the courtyard downstairs in my apartment block, so I can still enjoy this plant without having another one taking up space in my balcony. I also had a rabbit’s foot plant, Maranta leuconeura ‘Kerchoviana’, for many years but it rotted last Spring which was sad…

Random Ramblings on BL Novels – Top 50 New Chinese BL Novels (August 2022)
Last year, I posted a list of the all-time most popular Chinese BL novels published at Jinjiang Literature City 晉江文學城. The top novels in that list will stay quite stable without too much changes as long as their accumulated points remain high, or some new popular novels pushed them down the list; the only thing that will make them drop out of the list completely without warning is the banning of the novels! That was exactly what happened a couple of months later after I posted that list, the number 1 and number 3 novels respectively, 天官賜福 and 撒野, were banned and disappeared from the list, so if you go to check the current list now, those two novels are nowhere to be seen.

【廚娘香Q秀】Taiwanese Savoury Sponge Cake 經典鹹蛋糕
This is a type of old fashioned Chinese-style savoury cake filled with a thin layer of pork floss or minced pork, soy sauce and fried shallots that is steamed traditionally as Asian kitchens don’t have ovens in the old days. However this type of steamed savoury cake is now rarely seen. I came across this cooking video with a new version that is baked and rolled up into a Swiss roll…

Pouring Rain (Japanese Movie “HiGH&LOW: THE WORST X” OST) – Deep Squad
Came across this new song by Japanese band Deep Squad which is from the OST of the seventh and latest movie franchise, HiGH&LOW: THE WORST Cross, which is set to premiere on September 9, 2022. The movie’s OST has 5 songs as far as I know, but the other 4 songs are not the type of songs I like to listen to. Only this song is generally the type of song I love with beautiful melody, although it’s only available in audio, short version currently, but here it is… I will add the full MV version when and if it becomes available.
