Chinese new year 2020

Hullo gorgeous people! it is the eve of Chinese New Year and i am super exited for tonight. the fam has been planning a super hot pot dinner for a while now and its finally happening tonight. theres soup boiling now in the kitchen and we have so many of my favourite fish balls and veggies lined up. we reached ipoh yesterday around the evening and we did some spring cleaning too.
the house is super stacked with snacks and drinks and ive been eating so many of them. i like really cripsy stuff so all the deep fried fish snacks and nuts are really nice to have around. im also a huge fan of mandarin oranges and im super good at peeling them. if there were a contest for orange peeling i'd win it for sure.
since its a festive season, there hasnt been much to do out of the house. plenty of stores are closed and the malls are beyond crowded. sometimes shopping crowds get really rowdy too. plus, theres an influenza virus spreading, thats super dangerous. i do realise that in public a lot of people dont know the proper etiquette when it comes to coughing or sneezing so its best just to stay home. stay safe, everyone. i strongly recommend not leaving the house actually. home base is the safest.
ive been catching up on my rest and i didnt know how much i needed it. university life is tiring. with the extra time on my hands ive actually been reflecting on life. sometimes it gets a little scary so i try not to do it so much. it's a new year, im turning 22, super close to when people have that quarter life crisis. im already 2 years into my second decade and i have no idea how the time just passed me by.
i like to keep busy and channel all my energy into positive thoughts. ive been saying. 'i love myself' a lot cause i feel all giggly when i say it. it may sound a bit narcissistic but i think i'd rather love myself than hate myself (something i learned about from a netflix show actually). when i say it im also reminded of how blessed and how loved i am. ive even planned a surprise valentines gift for myself this year. i cant wait to do a valentines day post.

im super thankful for this laptop that mom and dad got me this year. its the coolest laptop ever and i get to watch netflix, play games, and write my blog post on it. it's been keeping me entertained a bunch. but i also have to use it for school stuff. and a lot of school stuff too since theres so many assignments and presentations to do. i really like gaming and i have a game in my head that im gonna target next. its called Overcooked and it seems really fun. i watched some streams and its so funny. i really wish i could do super cool streams too but i think i need a lot of fancy camera equipment. i used to like watching mukbangs and i wanted to stream mukbangs then when i watch gamers stream, i wanna stream myself playing games. the constant is that i really wanna try it. its a signnnn... i have to do it someday. i really miss making youtube videos actually. i promise i'll get back to making videos soon too. my pink camera is the cutest.
yesterday i had a super fun family lunch💓. i wish i made a youtube video from that. we had yee sang and really nice tea. i was really excited about that lunch. it was the first yee sang we had this year but i was excited for more reasons than that. its almost dinner and i should get ready.
see you later alligator.
