chinese new year visiting is like wearing me out. normally i would be super energetic still by the end of the day but lately i have been feeling so tired for some reason like everyday i just can't wait to go to sleep. today was kinda boring like nothing really happen just that we went visiting all our extended families. feel so happy that i have finished visiting. tonight my cousins and aunts and uncles are coming over to party! can't wait for that! hope that we can party all night guys!

its so awesome seeing everyone today, like i haven't seen the whole family in such a long time and i finally got to see them. today i had a reunion dinner with my dad's side of the family. we had steamboat( i think i grew fatter) and were like joking around so much. my aunt was like "guess what jeremiah( my cousin) chinese teacher call him?" everyone was like guessing weird stuff and in the end she said"jia-li-mai-ya" it means sell ducks at home, it was super stupid and funny. i love my family to the max.! my sisters were asking my uncle about his life story and i learn super alot about him. he has like 2 tattoos and he is a christian which is awesome!he like changed for the better i guess, he used to be ah beng but now he is a police officer which is so cool! anyways, the whole reunion dinner was so fun, i hope we get to do it more than once!

i was eating strawberries today and decided to take a picture of it with my sister's book, he looks like he is eating it.

sometimes i just feel so inferior to those guys like they are always better than me, they know so much yet i don't, they know the right words to use but i don't. its always so fustrating trying to remember what to say when and what to not say or write. sometimes i just wish everything is much more simplified and i can write or say everything i want but that is not possible, i have grown older so now its time to rise up right? i am so confused right now and feeling so inferior.i have so much work to catch up now, i have a compo. and compre. to complete!its so tiring to just pass through everyday, time seems to pass so slowly, every second feels like minutes. can't wait for the weekend, its only one day away, then i would go birthday shopping for all of my friends!i wanna get roller blades for my birthday!

god please help me not feel so inferior lord, i wanna pray that give me more confidence and push out all those thoughts of condemntion in my head lord, in jesus name i pray.
amen

cooked chicken soup with noodles for dinner today with my dad. it seem like that is the only thing we can like bond together except for sudoku. so it was like a bonding activity i guess. we bought the ingredients. at the check-out counter he was like, if it is over $10 you will pay,in the end it was over $10 and i didn't have to pay cause i didn't even have money. i was like skinning the chicken in the kitchen with my dad and like i realised that a chicken has a lot of fats, the picture of it is below. if you actually skin of the skin and fats,almost half of one-third of the chicken will be gone, and they use this fats to cook chicken rice according to my dad. super gross!



the vegetables we used.


the chinese mushroom used in the soup, it tasted weird.


all the fats and skin from the chicken, the reddish thing is its lungs i think.


the remainder of the chicken.


the soup cooked for 3 hours. it tasted a little bland but after some salt, it was nice!


my noodle soup! i love to eat noodle soup that my mum or dad cooks. its super nice!






my blanket had this really big hole and i decided to mend it, i took like 20 minutes and i managed to only complete half of it and my mum decided to do the rest for me in return for me helping her to do something else.she finished sewing the other half in like 5 minutes!
