new year's eve post 2

good evening!
well, there's roughly fifty-five mins till the new year ...oh yeah. i'd better say that today, i was hard at work plodding 2617 steps. anyways, events for the rest of the night:
-PIG mum took me once to the loo before dad tootled us off to uncle chi wah's house. of course, no guesses as to who forced who to do everything. sadly, dad also refused to let me listen to the news on 96.5FM or 94.9FM while he was driving. :( dunno why, but oh well.
-anyways, the parents gleefully FORCED :(first time) me to walk in. i apologised for not being able to take my shoes off (well, i could, but it'd just mean i'd have to be in my manual wheelchair, and goodness knows that PIG mum would rather EAT ME ALIVE :P o_O then allow that to happen!) then took a seat at their dining table, saying hello to aunty connie and uncle simon, and refusing to give uncle chi wah his bday card until he promised to stop stomping on my poor dad. :P
-dinner tonight: roughly 3/4 plate (dunno why they don't use bowls?) of rice, lotsa lettuce, three yummy mushrooms, and a few spoonfuls of aunty po yee's yummy 'meat biscuit'! lol, she's got no idea what that's called in english either, so 'meat biscuit' it'll haveta remain until i can find out what it's really called in english.
-PIG mum made me walk to the lounge room, where lik/ying directed me to an armchair. blessed safety, for a little while. :)
-they have this really cool wii sports game! only it's not called wii sports, and i can't call PIG mum down and ask her (i think she's too busy snoring her head off :P) but you can do bike riding, ping pong with this HUGE bat, and bowling - not ten pins, but A HUNDRED pins! and swordfighting. :) so i had awesome fun with that!
-PIG mum came, took me to the loo once. i got her to try the sword fighting too, and we tried our skill at a game of 100-pin bowling. i won. :p
-time to leave, we said our byes, thankyous and see you next years.dad tootled us home, and i let erf sit sideways, coz this was my last car trip for the day. almost forgot! lik had made yummy cheesecake for desert! i congratulated him on his cooking prowess. "don't thank me, you haven't tasted it yet!" he laughed." 'well, if i eat your cake and die of food poisioning, you won't see me at church!" i told him. "but i don't go to the same church as you!" he protested. "fair enough, then. if you don't see me on facebook for an entire month after tonight, you can surmise your culinary skills (or there lackof) killed :P me." i got two ultra-thin slices; actually, i noticed that when ying carved himself up a slice, it was bigger than both my slices combined! but i knew better than to grouse at PIG mum. also much thanks to ying who poured me half a mug of plain milk. and yeah, i drank some ... multi V, i think it's called? juice for dinner. i think i held both those cups 'incorrectly', too... guess PIG mum didn't notice.
-i think tonight's post and this afternoon's post sums up another year for me ... it's been a struggle to get through the day sometimes, but one of the first things i do after i wake up each morning is ask percy the angel/saint to please help me, to please give me the patience and perserverance to endure another day. to help me remember that almost everything i do is for the pleasure/satisfaction of my parents, but that i'll earn two hours of internet time for myself if i manage to struggle and suffer through the day. of course, there are easier and harder days to get through, but i've managed that, so far.
so yeah, just wishing everyone a safe and prosperous new year. hope you'll all enjoy this new decade as much as you've enjoyed this one that's just about to end!
cheers,
em. ^^
P.S. i found and corrected 1 error in my post tonight.
