Ello all.
Happy Lunar New Year to all out there that celebrate it!
It's strangely quiet it my house on NYE for some reason. Which is ironic. Everything has settled into a nice comfortable contentment. Which is fine nonetheless. Tad unusual though.
But besides that, everything is more or less typical of a NYE celebration:
The alter is up, the candles are lit and the ever so pleasant smell of incense comes wafting into my room. Pity though, dad insisted on buying the 'non smoke' variety. Defeats the whole purpose of burning incense in my opinion.
Bah, doesn't matter, keeps him happy... Anyway, as usual I am going off at a tangent.
Every year, around this time, and old family friend usually comes around to do some well wishing and normally that involves bringing a delectable sticky rice cake thing...uhhh 'Banh Chung' i think its called. Hmm i will see if i can get a pic of it to post up here....oh hell i might as go and get one now. Ill be back in a bit....
There we go! Banh Chung in all its prism-esque, banana-leaf-wrapped glory. Traditionally its eaten on NY day I think.Hmmm what else? Oh yes, school.
So its been how many days?....*ill go check my calendar*... Ah 6 days of school, and i must say I'm loving it! Two reasons mainly.
One is my subject choices. Ah Steve (My cousin if all you others are wondering), if your reading this, THANK YOU!!!! BIOLOGY IS GREAT! I can't believe i was going to take visual arts or something like that *cringe*... So yes, half of my lessons now consist of physics, chem and bio and the rest is math. Well....yes i have English too, but nothings perfect. And English itself ain't bad im doing Thomas More's Utopia. I've always wanted to read that, and now here is the perfect chance.
The second reason is im in senior school. My ascension itself is nothing important, but the little privileges that come with it is the metaphorical cherry on top of the Triple-Choc sundae that is my subject choices. No longer will i have to wait outside those damned science rooms!
Pity though, my science head teacher had to retire.....he is an uber teacher. I would have had him for chem and physics. Bah.
Anyway, today sport was canceled and so i left school early....spent a whole hour walking in the sweltering hot sun, mercilessly bombarding me with intense solar radiation. Well...yes im over exaggerating... but it was rather warm. My shirt was practically sticking to my back by the time i got home. No matter though, i treated myself to a nice cool glass of coconut juice. Hmm that stuff officially makes my favorite beverages list....not that i have a favorite beverages list. But if i did, it would have been on there somewhere, of course after tea. NOTHING beats tea.
Yep well that pretty much sums it up for the week. Oh one more thing, the vlogs are soon going back into full swing. And yes the link will be on my personal message on my msn name. So check it out when you see the date updated.
Yeah so im probably gonna spend the rest of my evening drinking tea and reading or what not.
Have a great new year!
