I really want to get this (Taiyaki Fish-Shaped Cake Maker), but I am not sure if I am going to use it a few times and let it collect the dust. 🤔 I missed adzuki beansTaiyaki and am really afraid I am going to make a lot and overeat it. Canada winter has been too long and depressing.

Here's a Qing Dynasty jade statue that looks like a slab of fatty meat. And another one that looks like a Chinese cabbage.

Both were imperial treasures, currently are stored in the Palace Museum in Taiwan.

(I'm researching weird Chinese history again)

New spot for the nest, I have to move to the kitchen sink for now.

I need to pay my rent and save for the possibility of buying my own place, even though I lost hope a long time ago.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts It makes me feel less guilty of thinking I am incapable of getting into quality within a short amount of time. Working in preschool animation really burned me out that I couldn't focus on details and would be punished for it.

Is it normal that I want to draw slowly? I used to work in preschool animation and was told I was too slow and my skills weren't great. I feel really shit that even though I try my best, my skill still kind of sucks, but I need to keep trying, even if a lot of the time it turns out to be shit.

It is really stressful to see all of my feed from the US now. I am afraid Canada will be impacted as well.

I started to fill the holes in my socks even though I got plenty of fresh new one👵 the little cute earrings pouch I got it from Korean shop when I purchased little earrings, I find a great way to reuse it since it has really nice design on it and really sturdy to hold safety pins.

I love my new shampoo, got it on sale for $3 each. I can't help myself to get more and stock it for the long term use. My Asian parents taught me well ❤️‍🩹 🌝

Thank you so much 🙏 wish you have a great day as well

Making my own coffee chocolate walnuts cake and delicious healthy salad for my birthday 🎂 Turning to 36 today. I used to believe that I have to spend a lot to get big meals in order to feel Worthy. Today I actually feel happy that I have a small healthy meal to remind myself it is enough.

Fuck ICE

I am re-learning the high school basic fundamentals in my mid-30s, and I feel the shame of knowing that I was so much behind most standard people. But I am glad that I have more resources to help me learn faster, and also I have more desire to get better in general.

I still remember that I failed accounting and biology classes in high school because I was struggling with learning basic English. I am a slow learner, and accounting was scary and confusing. A high school counsellor often assumes the Asian stereotype that I should pick accounting as my major.

This is my first online accounting course since I want to explore other options and also learning basic knowledge. Hope I will not give up.

I'm really excited that the Toronto Library is offering a bunch of free online courses, including accounting, financial knowledge, writing, and other areas of professional development as well.

I have learned to bake more different flavors of cakes and simple Taiwanese style little pancakes with black sesame and brown sugar with walnuts. My cat is not approved for my cooking.

I mean, if you try to become a small island citizens, you are always meant to be prey for those big countries that would like to take it over for resources. It happened everywhere in history.

I usually avoid political topics among Chinese people. My opinion doesn't represent all Taiwanese. Just my personal view.

I wouldn't said I dislike Chinese people, I met plenty good hearted Chinese people and have helped me as well. But, I personally always afraid that China would take over Taiwan one day.

I am not surprised by the decision since China's economy is growing rapidly, and the US doesn't provide any special treatment to Canada, plus tariffs. As a Taiwanese immigrant, I often fear that Taiwan will one day be taken over by China.

It would take 10-12 years to become a family doctor and it seems like not an easy path to choose. I feel the resources are always limited so it is common to wait for many months in Canada.
