Living in Florida

-
 Welcome to Florida! Our weather is boiling hot, except in the winter where it's slightly cooler than usual! Every inch of water in our states is infested with either gators, mosquitoes, or all of the above! Flocks of tourists come here each year to visit a gigantic rat and contract heatstroke under our famous Florida Sun(TM)!And best of all, our state is filled with hordes of crazy ass people who do not care about "rules" or "societal expectations" and will do whatever they want! 

 That's what most people hear about Florida.  But as a person who's lived in Florida for the past 7 years, I have a different view on the place. First off, I've never actually been tp Oversized Rat Park. (Insert stock sound of people gasping in shock) Yeah, I know it's the whole appeal of this place is large rat theme park, but the thing is, my family doesn't really go out that much. At most, we'll go out to a grocery store, or a fast-food restaurant, but almost never anything like a theme park. 

 Next, the weather. Now it IS pretty hot in here, but I don't tend to notice the hot weather because I'm an introvert who stays in air-conditioned building 24/7. It does suck that it rarely gets cold here, though. I love cozying up in a warm blanket with a hot cup of cocoa, but you can only really do that here for one month before it heats up and you'll get roasted if you to try to do it.

 Now, the wildlife. Like I said before, I don't go outside often. But if I go outside for a long period of time, I will be covered head to toes with mosquito bites thanks to this mistake of a bug. There's also the gators. I don't actually see these guys that often. There was this one time me and my family visited a reptile zoo with some family friends, but other than that time, I almost never see them. 

 That is, until I saw a small little gator in the lake by our house. It didn't attack us, or interact with us, but it was kind of interesting. You can probably tell that I'm not the best at coming up with interesting stories by now.

 Lastly the crazy people. Luckily, I have never had an encounter with the fabled "Florida Man", because, for the third tie, I am an introvert who stays indoors all day. However I have seen some people flying Trump banners, so there are some crazy nutjobs in here, I just haven't had an encounter with one.

 So that concludes my review of Florida! I haven't had the most interesting encounters in this state, but I've still had a fun time in here. Anyways see you in like, two months.

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

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

Song of the Shell - Prologue

-
     I can't remember much about my childhood. Whenever my family brings up the foods we ate, the sights we saw, or the people we met back then, my mind draws a blank. But there is one memory I remember in vivid detail, one which I could never forget no matter what,      You may have heard of the rumor that if you put a seashell up to your ear, you can hear the ocean inside of it. I had too, so when me and my family went to the beach when I was 6, I dug my way through the sand until I found one, gleaming and glistening in the summer sun.      Then, I  held it up to my ear and was awestruck by what I heard. What started out as the simple, yet relaxing sound of tides on a beach. But soon, the sound warped into a ballad of voices, singing like a stream of pure water. It was sorrowful, but enchanting, I couldn't take my ears off of it. I could've sat in the sand, indulging in the hypnotic song, forever. But soon, the sun set, and I had to return to the monotony of daily life.
