Spelling Bee "Winner"

-
Alright, so yesterday I won my school's spelling bee and I wanna talk about it. So basically my school spelling bee took place at our news studio and each of the 9 contestants come up and spell progressively harder words. After 10 rounds the competitors who misspelled a word during the rounds get eliminated. After that, the remaining competitors spell words out until either one competitor remains or they run out of words. Alright, so lets back up a bit to learn about the events before the big day, aka the studying. So when I was studying I firstly circled the words I didn't know, which meant that these words would get extra practice. So, my dad called out a word and I would try and spell it. If I got it wrong he would ask me to spell it again. My sister also completely kept pestering me about the words McIntosh and grown-ups. She pestered me over these words because i forgot there was a hyphen in grown-ups and that the I in McIntosh was capitalized. So, when the day finally came I had butterflies in my stomach (not literally that would be horrifying) I was relieved my parents were there for emotional support. When I got to the world parcel however, I was conflicted if I should follow my gut instinct and go with parcel or go with my "memory" and go with parsel. I went with my gut instinct and got it right, so thank god I got it.
You know what happens next, I make it to the finals, I win it, and all that jazz. After I hugged my parents and waved goodbye I went to my class and of course it was a loud room of cheers and claps, of course. I opened the package and it had
A: some treasure box toys
B: some candies
C: a butt ton of ribbons
D: 11 friggin laffy taffies.

So after I got home we took photos of me with the tag on the gift bag, my sister bothered me with the ribbons and overall it was a fun time. But now I have a dilemma if I should represent my school in the national spelling bee. Dilemmas aside, I hope you had a good time looking at this post, and see you in my next blog!

Headaches and Outbreaks on a Lunar New Year

-
 Today is the first day of Chinese New Year and I want to talk about it. So every Chinese New Year my mom bakes different Chinese snacks, such as a type of Chinese chip like things (I don't know there ingredients),dried seaweed surrounded by a crunchy thing, pineapple cookies, and some more, but my personal favorite is her peanut cookies. (which I actually know the ingredients of as you'll see later) A few weeks ago I helped my mom with these cookies. We would shape a mixture of peanut and oil into a ball, use this thingie to put a hole in it for the peanut to go in, then use this egg mixture to spread around the hole to make the peanut stick, and then it is baked. (don't use this as an actual recipe, because if anyone is using this blog post made by a random 9 year old on the internet that I recalled from memory as a recipe, then I've lost all hope for humanity). However yesterday, I got a big headache yesterday from not drinking sufficient water. Eventually it cooled

Birthday Bash

-
So yesterday was my birthday(Its on October 17th by the way...)and so I have things to say. So it started when my mom called me downstairs for my birthday celebration and saw the cake which was fully decorated and according to her was a "dirtied cake" which she only did because my sister said something about a minecraft cake and she placed the cake down on the coffee table. Then,the rest of my family showed up and we started the celebrating.So first we entered in a call with my grandpa who lives in Malaysia and also sent me a message a few days earlier and wished me happy birthday the day before my actual birthday.We also took some pictures(my dad edited one of them later to cover up a roll of paper)and my dad filmed me blowing out my ten candles and opening my presents which were a paper mache vileplume (which is a pokemon)a paper mache egg incubator (which was also from pokemon)and a painting,(which were all from my sister because my parents gift arrived late).So I ate the

Our Nightmare Trip to New York

-
 So I've been gone for a while. Partly because I've been away on a vacation to Malaysia for 2 months, and partly out of sheer laziness. The trip to Malaysia is worth a few blogs of it's own, but what I wanted to talk about was the nightmare that happened while we were trying to go home. Now, the trip to Malaysia was already unpleasant, what with one plane smelling of piss and me and my family trying (and failing) to sleep, and me vomiting on another, so by the time we made it we were already dreading the flight home. But the trip home managed to be EVEN WORSE.  It started off small, but annoying, with some guy at the Qatar Airport giving us wrong information and forcing us to go through airport security again . And while the flight itself wasn't too bad, the hassle crept back in after the flight when they didn't tag our luggage properly and forced us to carry them around in this big metal cart.  Then, we had to wait in several hour-long lines before we could wait
