My dad designed it on paper, but I drew it online.
The checkers represent our future. Our future house will have checkered floors. My dad likes Georgian houses, and they usually have checkered floors.
As for the cross, he told to steal it from his school crest. It represents his past.
Our family motto is libertas virtute. It means freedom through virtue in Latin. Or so he claims!
I helped fry eggs for my family! My mom taught me how. I might start frying vegetables soon.
My family said the eggs were tasty. Maybe I can help more in the future, when my mom’s away.
It was Father’s Day yesterday! My siblings and I gave a few presents to our dad.
Each of us wrote him a card. We also gave him some stickers for some reason. I also included a breath mint candy for his smelly breath (ha!).
My dad really liked the presents. He said he’d be happy if he dies tomorrow. I don’t know.
Today, July 20th, is my brother’s 9th birthday. My mom made a chocolate ice cream cake for him (oh, the diabetes). We even drew him a card, and bought him a present.
The cake was really good! My mom said she cut down lots of sugar.
I really like Greek mythology. They are messed up. But they’re interesting.
The book arrived yesterday! It includes stories, from the Twelve Olympians to Greek heroes and lots more. It also has an introduction to Norse mythology at the last chapter. I might start Norse mythology soon.
Some of my favourite myths are the 12 Labours of Hercules, Jason and the Argonauts, and the story of Eros and Psyche.
We left Penang that day. 🙁 I was pretty sad.
For breakfast, I think we had some bread my mom bought for us.
Then for lunch, we tried having dim-sum again. This time, we went to a place with no queue. The custard bun was great! You should try custard buns. They are really tasty. Just make sure there’s no kaya jam in it because it ruins the custard.
After that we relaxed in my cousin’s house one last time. At 3 in the afternoon, we said our goodbyes and left.
I like Penang. Maybe we can go there again in the future holidays.
It was our second last day in Penang. Time went by so fast!
We went to swim and visit the games room again. After that, we had our favourite bubble tea, Tealive! We finally got it after my mom promised us a few days ago. It was very sweet. I won’t have it again anytime soon.
It was my grandma’s birthday that day! After dinner, we celebrated her birthday together. She’s 78 this year. That’s old. We also ate fruit cake. (More sugar!)
