It's Swan Nine. Or September. Month number 9 in the year of the Swan. Looking back, this year has been crazy.
We were in Canada for Chinese New Year some time beginning of February. This was the very first time since I got married that I went there to visit my family. It was bittersweet.
I somehow was looking for trouble when my female cousin said something that I totally went ballistic. I shall not mention what she said, but I voiced out my discontent on the Whatsapp group.
It was early morning when I messaged it at around 5 AM before I walked to the gym nearby in the freezing cold of winter. I got a reply from my uncle stating that there was no reason to get upset. I think it was when I found out that they were doing things for my grandma without us.
In my mind, we were all one group. But they made a calendar that excluded my family from the calendar. I was in total shock when I found out they made a calendar without me and my brother in it. I stated that I am leaving the pack and that my membership has expired.
There were a lot of things going wrong. For the first time, I wasn't being treated like 'royalty' and that it was as if it was because I got married to someone that they didn't like. My cousins were also not warming up to wifey. So I was not happy.
Anyway, I could see people take sides for the first time and it was not pretty.I said it was best if we all stayed children.
A while ago, female cousins and I got along very well. But then somehow when I got married, things changed and I am sad about it.
That was a whole lot of drama. Shaq, the basketball player said that he fights with his family all the time and that timely comment got me thinking why was I thinking that it had to do with me.
I still remember very vividly that we were at a Chinese restaurant when we say on the big screen TV that there was a helicopter crash. I have no idea why I am still tearing up at this point when I am typing this. Kobe and her daughter perished. My Hong Kong male cousin is a huge fan and we were reeling in shock. I don't know why but ever since, the world started to get worse.
The COVID19 pandemic hit right after we got back to Malaysia.
It was March 2020 that it all happened. Everything shut down. The entire country. We couldn't leave our houses. We had to stay indoors and we couldn't go anywhere but stay home. It was like World War 2. I don't understand what was going to happen. In the months to come, we cooked at home, ate healthily, and streamed on Twitch a lot. That was the start of our Twitch channels.
Since we started exercising with Ring Fit, we have seen our waits plummet by at least 8kg since then.
My word limit is up and probably, I will continue rambling about the year.
Thanks for reading. God bless. Stay safe.
Love and Peace to all.
