How did you spend your new year?

We have been exceptionally busy visiting all our family and relatives. I personally have been busy meeting the needs of Monday and Tuesday 😭😭😭 they need CONSTANT stimulation. They are either in the swimming pool, the playground, wrecking other’s houses or running around my parent’s home.

My aunts, mom and I

My 3rd aunt invited me to her home for lunch. Lucky for the kids, she works as a childminder and had lots of toys for them to play with. Unfortunately… Most of my relatives doesn’t speak English so they didn’t quite understand anything 😂😂😂😂

Homg look at those food.

Her cooking tasted like childhood. How do I put it… It was both comforting and heart wrenching at the same time. Sadly my 3rd uncle is no longer around, but he has always been nice to me too.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT IS MOST NOSTALGIC? WE ATE ON THIS TABLE THAT MOVED HOMES WITH HER!

The exact table I had my meals when I was less than 4-5 under her care!

The table has outlive many people 😂 how is it still so sturdy? Jeez… Things were really made to last back then.

I really wanted to have a big countdown this year but my dad had to go complete some audit stock check last minute 🙄… Yes he’s a bit like Mojuju, – – – – and everything to the last minute. Or is this a men thing? 🤣🤣😎 Well I just ended up not carrying out our feast 😭. Even more crazy, we tried to watch live countdown on YouTube and sis told me the channel I was on will turn into a real firework at 12midnight AND IT DIDN’T 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂 I WILL FOREVER TEASE HER FOR IT 😂😂😂😂😂

YOOOOOOOOOO….. Sadly there’s not much heat for Diwali here compared to back home. Sigh… What happened to the tubs of muruku and peanut cookies?

Coincidentally it fell on Halloween day today. It’s a little ironic as Diwali was meant to be festival of light and for evil to be warded but then you get people dressing up as zombies walking around the streets in the dark with monstrous decorations everywhere 😂😂😂

So to give you a little light in the dark, HERE’S ME IN MY NEW LEHENGA!

The background is actually AI generated 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 but I do look like I’m back home though LOL

The new lehenga is colourful but it’s actually a little big 😭 because I have unfortunately (or fortunately) lost even more weight. I’m not sure what’s going on but I’m now fitting into almost all my old clothes easily now. Only the Jean shorts from when I was 18 feels a little tight.

ANYWAYYY, I still prefers my old sari. Because it was fitted years ago, it actually is much more fitting. Also the colour is lovely, and I really do love green ❤️❤️❤️

I hope the pleating isn’t too terrible…

I really love Hindu / Indian culture. My primary school was super local, and we had a lot of Indians, Punjabis, Malay and even indigenous people. To be fair there were only a handful of us Chinese there since it wasn’t a Chinese educated school.

I spent a lot time with my classmate Sutha especially early in the morning because we’re always the earliest to arrive. She taught me how to write her name in Tamil, BUT I COULD NEVER LEARN MY OWN NAME. But I think my name translates to “red ants” or something which was super lame 😂😂😂😂

Another classmate of ours Loga would bring bindi to school and put it on us. She had like the most sexiest husky voice 😂😂 although neither of us realised it at that point of time…. We were such an innocent group of girls.

Guyssss I had the best weekend ever my whole life. I MET MY CHILDHOOD SAVIOUR AVRIL LAVIGNE!!!

I finally get to see her in flesh!

I can’t believe it took me 22 years to actually finally meet her. What stopped me for so long? Prioritising everything else… And financial constraints. 😭

I booked the tickets in April when I found out she was going to perform in U.K. again. Unfortunately all other venues were sold out instantly and the only option I had left was Bedford – for 2 tickets as a package with hotel accompanied. I took my sister Qyuni with me because who else can I bring? 🤣☠️

I’m not a superstitious so welcome 2024 everyone!! Here’s to another year of chaos because no moment in our home is quiet 😂

2023 has been a challenging year. There has been many interpersonal growth, learning to stand up for myself and my family, change of workplace and adaptations, academic hurdles.

Although it sounded like alot, I’m happy things has been going well. Mojuju and I are even more closer and understanding than before. My dad’s health has been improving since his surgery, and we are trying our best to get back home to see him ASAP. And Monday and Tuesday are growing well and healthy.

I’m also adapting well at work and got to know my colleagues better. They are all really nice to me, and my patients are really lovely as well. I really enjoy the community visit… Is it mean to say that the houses are much cleaner than the previous area I was deployed? 😅

Unfortunately the same cannot be said about the world. While we are bathing in comfort and bliss, half the the world are suffering in pain and hunger. I wish there’s something we can do collectively, but the older I get the less faith I have in humanity. We will always resort to violence. I’m not naive, I know that if one side withdraws violence, the other side may not. But I believe, if we be kind to everyone we are able to, the world will be a better place. 2023 has been a really bleak year for the world so I hope this year would be better.

So let’s start 2024 with love and kindness and end it with a better place for everyone we know!!

LET’S CALL OURSELVES TEAM SUNSHINE because THAT’S WHAT WE GONNA BRING TO THE WORLD! WOOHOOO
