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 😂😂😂😂😂

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

Happy new year to all of you loyal readers out there! Truth to be spoken… I actually am not very excited about this year. We didn’t count down or anything, just went on with our daily lives. Just another year.

Maybe the winter is getting to me, I do feel quite down. Particularly listening to BBC radio news every morning to work, listening to the suffering of people all over the world: Ukraine, Afghanistan, and many more… (。╯︵╰。) . Then tuning in to local news, the news of nurses having to walk out of their duty to strike for fair pay, railway workers striking for fair pay, and then the postal workers as well! There are also emails sent to us about balloting doctors for a strike too as our pay is no longer up to date with the current inflation. ╥﹏╥

To be honest, we’re quite skint at the moment. But then I see some of my other colleague who struggle to put food on the table for 7 of their children… Who am I to complain?

I’m also not a huge fan of the ‘WOKE’ community really. Why are they so offended about everything? WHY IS EVERYONE SO EASILY OFFENDED THESE DAYS? (੭ ˃̣̣̥ ㅂ˂̣̣̥)੭ु You can’t even laugh at something without being judged. Or comment the obvious. There may be a white elephant in the room; Σ(°△°|||)︴but don’t talk about it!!! Σ(°△°|||)︴ Σ(°△°|||)︴Σ(°△°|||)︴Σ(°△°|||)︴Σ(°△°|||)︴ Σ(°△°|||)︴ Σ(°△°|||)︴ Σ(°△°|||)︴ No one talks about it.  You can’t call a fat person fat anymore without being called out for fat-shaming. People defending obesity with their lives; literally with their lives. You can’t complain about how life-saving resources from the NHS are being used for gender reassignment surgery, or bariatric surgery, or cosmetic surgery.; because you get chastised.

I don’t know. There’s just so many things wrong with the world these days. Has the world always been like this? Or am I just now grown old, jaded and pessimistic about everything? (ಥ﹏ಥ)
