My First Term Holiday 
Was not your typical holiday...It caught me pretty off guard, you might add. 

Normally, we wouldn't go back to Hometown until the celebrations, so that means we would be at home.

Now, you wouldn't think a holiday at home would be that interesting, but boy it did. 

At first, it was pretty bland. We had not much to do but stay at home and do our things. My brother had a ton of work to do - a skele-ton! I would be doing some things, like reading or trying out a new sketch. (Heh, old habits die hard)

My mom bought some spices, like rosemary and oregano combined together into one, so by Wednesday, I had a real stupid idea. 



I watched a video on spice puns called "Thyme To Spice Things Up" (No, really, look it up on YouTube!) and decided to try it out. 




I walked up to my brother who was in the room and started with this:

"Heya dude!" 

"What the hell?!" he screeched. 

"Just wanted to say something!" I giggled. 

"Say what?" he asked, using his phone for Google Translate. 

"That if anyone wants to mess with you..." It was getting closer.

"What do you mean?" he looked up at me.

Temporarily bailing my first pun, I replied with:

"You nod your head yes when you wanna say no! What do you mean?"

He charged at me like a bull seeing red. 


"Ok, ok!!" I screamed playfully as he gave me a tickle attack. "But really, if there are people who want to mess with you?"

I pulled out a drawing of parsley.

"They'll parsley believe what they got themselves into."

"Hah?" he was dumbfounded. Perfect.

"But they'd better curry up and run! They won't even see what's cumin for them!" 

He looked like I just sprouted three heads.

"Hmm...maybe I'll find out what they're allergic to and give them chives." I wanted to laugh although I didn't know how chives worked in the pun. (I still don't!)

By the time I pulled out the next drawings, he gave me the Poker Face. I pulled out the spice mom bought.

"Maybe not. I need a more oregano idea than that! I want them running away cayenne!" I started to lose my cool and my body shook with inside laughter.

"It's not funny." he scolded sternly, but I wanted to continue. 

"But I have to think of SOMETHING for messing with my turmeric brother...he's so chili!" Again, I had no idea how that fit in. (Still clueless!) 

"What the hell?" he seemed so pissed! 

"But what I'm trying to imply here, dude, is that I clove you very much, undill the end of thyme!" I started to laugh non-stop.

He laughed too, surprisingly, and stopped as soon as he started. "It's not funny. I only laughed cause your laughing face was so cringy." 

I could agree on that. My laughing face is pretty weird to look at. He looked at me with the Poker Face again. 

"My dear brother..." I began again. 

"...?" He just kept staring. (OMG!)

"...Paprika."

He stared at me with the look like I said the stupidest insult to him EVER.

"Were you watching that Undertale thing again?" 

"How...could you tell?" I was surprised he knew the source.

"Oh, cause the noisy guy said Updogg is the best ingredient."

"What's Updogg?" I asked.

"Not much what's up with you?" he did the 'Get Rekt' look.

Invisible air horns bellowed in the sky as he yelled "GEEEEEEEET REKT!!!" (T_T I just got stabbed at my own game!!!) 

(Actually, he got that from the video called "Bofa Or Updogg")




On Thursday, my mom took us to see a movie called Pacific Rim: Uprising, which is basically Pacific Rim 2. I loved the first movie, Pacific Rim, and the second one really blew me away!

We had Japanese for lunch, which tasted great!

On Friday, my brother went for a camp so I was supposedly alone. My best friend, Rue Ying, invited me to go shopping. Her mother and sister were going too.

Rue Ying's sister showed me her favorite song, "Google Translate Sings: Shape Of You". 


 We kept singing Google Translated songs all the way to our destination: 1 Utama.

Rue Ying's mother needed to have her bus ticket renewed first before we continued, so I used that time to show them a song called "EX SUCKS".




 I heard Rue Ying's sister laugh.

The first place we went to was an ice cream kiosk. Apparently Rue Ying and her sister like Mint Chocolate Chip. (I wonder if it tastes good?) Due to experience from my childhood, I chose to avoid any fake tasting flavors like Bubble Gum (I doubt I'd like it) and I selected the simple yet tasty Vanilla. 

Rue Ying plucked out a remote control out of her handbag, causing me to laugh. (Seriously, why would she have that?) Her mother then exclaimed they wanted to buy a remote control! 

Rue Ying's sister then asked if there was anything we could play. Rue Ying's mother then took us to see the one day water games area. There were water balls, water tunnels, paddle boats, bird watching and even a tight rope walk! (Seriously, like, COOL!!!)

Sad to say, the age range only lasted until 12 years, so Rue Ying and I were out of the question. (The tight rope walk could've worked, but we didn't wear the right shoes...T_T)

We tried to change alternatives and try out a sand art activity, but it hadn't started yet. I gave a suggestion that we go to the arcade. I was confused as I couldn't see it over Starship Galactica, but when we ascended to GSC upstairs, my mind clicked and I was soon striding to the left, where a flight of stairs led us to the arcade my dad brought us to. Rue Ying's mom bought gaming tokens and I was soon binge-gaming on the game King of Fighters, which is one of the Street Fighter games. My mom came during the afternoon and we all went to lunch at a Japanese restaurant. 

Saturday was eventless, on Sunday, my brother came back. He greeted us with bags of clothes and items, and when we went home so we could have dinner. (It was evening when he returned.)

My mom took a plastic bag and she nearly fainted. In there was an underwear, but it reeked like abomination. Apparently it was used during bathing, so it was left wet and stinky!

Now, I'm here writing this blog. I hope you will like it!
