Another easy day. I started painting in the morning and forgot to make lunch till afternoon.

Had a good afternoon nap and did some research on Virginia Woolf’s life. I wanted to know what kind of life did a woman who wrote such beautiful words live. The facts made me sad. Although she was born in an well to do family, she experienced sexual abuses from her stepbrothers. Her parents died when she’s still quite young. She suffered from depression since then. At 59, she filled her pockets with stones and jumped into the river and died…. The lighthouse enlightened her readers but failed to lead her to move on.

At sunset, I caught another yellowtail scad, made a pot of delicious fish curry laksa, and my cooking skills finally became stable again.
