20/12/2011 - chicken powder

today mum told us to eat noodles for lunch.

i was really lazy so i told jason to learn how to make them (i.e. GO MAKE THEM JASON) and so he was like OH YEAH i'm going to show you that i know how to make instant noodles and that i'm so good at it.

don't you guys do that all the time? like i try to prove to someone like my mum i can do something :) but i hate it when it fails cause it just makes me look even worse :(

so first he runs the noodles under water to 'clean' it and then he pops it into the pot thing. we don't use the flavouring cause it's unnecessary and unhealthy (and these noodles are REALLY HOT FLAVOUR and we would die if we ate the flavouring) so we add salt and chicken powder instead. so my brother takes the salt out of the normal cupboard bit where the sugar, vinegar, etc. is all kept but then he takes the chicken powder from another cupboard which we don't usually keep stuff like that in. i disregard this.

he puts about half a teaspoon of salt into the noodles. he puts the salt back into the cupboard where it belongs. so next comes the chicken powder tin. he opens the lid of the metal cylinder asian chicken powder (do you guys know which i'm talking about?) and he adds a teaspoon in. he puts the teaspoon back into the chicken powder tin and opens the cupboard  he took it from to put it back.

it is at this moment that MY MUM WALKS IN.

my mum looks at my brother putting the chicken powder back into the cupboard and suddenly does the whole ayayayyayayaya thing (not the AY-ya but the really quick aayayayyaayyayayayaya one) and asks jason if he just added the stuff in the tin into the noodles. my brother nods. then my mum starts laughing. and laughing. AND THEN SHE STARTS CACKLING. my brother and i look at each other in that whole 'i think mum just went crazy look'. so naturally my brother looked at mum and said 'isn't it chicken powder?' then my mum says 'no, it's milk powder! i put the milk powder into the chicken powder tin to save space!!!' and so my brother and i were just like O.O

mum then asked jason why he didnt take the chicken powder from the place where the seasoning stuff is normally kept, and he said that the last time mum made noodles she took the chicken powder from the other cupboard :\ and the weird thing was, the milk powder was the same tinge of yellow as the chicken powder and it looked really similar D: so yeah. we added one teaspoon of milk powder into our noodles. yay! extra calcium for the day.

anyway, i dont think the noodles tasted any different but according to my brother the noodles tasted different to how they usually taste like ...

testing! :) 3

OMG I THINK THIS MIGHT WORK! okay so i'm like testing out all these different email thingos and finally this one has that photo button. let's hope it works!

this is meant to be a caption. does it look like one?

is it just me or is this photo slightly large? okay i shall resize it ...

testing! :) 2

omg. so gmail doesnt have the shove-a-photo-half-way-through-email
thing as well? or am i just being an idiot? i swear i've seen those
where photos are half way through.

OMG. OUTLOOK! D: why does it have to be outlook. it's ... OUTLOOK. gah
omg. plus, i dont think i know how to set it up and stuff anyway :|
maybe you will all have to look at the asian blog that i set up agers
ago since i can go on that in china. sad sad :(

asian blog: http://1335703976.qzone.qq.com/
asian twitter: (i doubt i would use this though ...) http://weibo.com/jenhuo

have fun :D i am so sad about the photo thing. grrrrr. VAT DO I DO?!?!?!?!

testing! :)

okay, so i'm just gonna test this 'Mail2Blogger' and see how it actually works :)

i'm sorry about being a lazy bum and not posting on mylitterbother when so much has happened, but i have so much to do at the moment i have to prioritise other things D: sorry future 18 year old jason. some things come before your blog.

so. let's see if centreing works!

this text is meant to be centred.

let's see if the EMOTICONS COME UP!! 

oh oh oh! one last thing. let's try the strike through  ... oh no there's no strike thing! :( i mean  ... bold, italics and underline. coolios.

and ... a random photo that doesn't hog a lot of space which i will just shove onto here. cause i'm capped D: omg wait i think i see a cool emoticon!  oh right. i thought it rolled from side to side. ANYWAY.

WHAT I CANT SHOVE A PHOTO IN THIS EMAIL. why hotmail, why ....... i should probably see if it works on gmail or something :| okay well. no photos. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! okay. well. let's see if an attachment will show up. BUT I HATE HOW ALL THE PHOTOS JAM, UP AT THE TOP cause i like them scattered throughout my posts when i actually mention them :( oh well. bye for now!

TODAY IS MY BROTHER'S YEAR 6 FAREWELL!!!

well. i'm only going to talk about the things that i saw near the end cause that's the only time when i was actually there :)

actually i can't be bothered saying too much. when i got there they played some songs which my brother always sings cause apparently the whole class loves the song, like Sexy and I Know It and Moves Like Jagger. then they had the year 6 farewell song to which everyone sung along ('Don't Worry be Happy' by Guy Sebastian - much happier and nice to dance to than our farewell song which was 'Time of Your Life' by Green Day) and i just mass took photos for my brother lol.

i'm just gonna put some interesting photos up and use the captions to say the story of the night.

jason with his good friend jack (school captain)

this photo is funny cause it looks like the guy is sticking his rude finger up.
but if you look closely the fingers dont work out.

jason and his friends jumping to the music

he looks like he's licking that guy's head!

jason and jack again ...

AAAAHHHHH IT'S RAIN!!!!! no, it's chris.
this is the guy who looks like Rain ...

this photo really amuses me. two jasons. not to mention the expression ...

GAH THIS PHOTO. so i said 'funny face!' and maggie stuck her tongue out.
then her mum (standing next to me) kinda scolded her to what she replied with
'but she was the one who told me to make a weird face!'
and i kinda smiled at the mum but in my mind i was thinking
:@ GAAHHHH now your mum wont like me.

i am weird.

my brother has a gingerbread home contest in class tomorrow, so mum, Jason and I go to coles hurstville to buy some things that jason needs which he wrote on a list. he keeps bragging about how the boys are so much more organised than the girls (it was boys gingerbread home vs. girls gingerbread home) because the girls got into it the moment ms flowers announced it, while the boys took time to plan out their home on a mini whiteboard thing. apparently they allocated items that each boy had to buy and planned how to decorate their little gingerbread home and stuff. it was really cute :')

part of the gingerbread house. after they made it they split it and everyone got some! they split it on the day Katherine and I visited, and we got offered some :D but we didn't take any ... but we ate a few mint lollies (which were green and the boys used it to decorate the 'tree' outside the house) and Katherine took a candy cane as well :D

my brother. yes. he looks old. he also has some pimples now AHAHAHA this is what you get for always teasing me and saying that I have acne. once i got two pimples underneath my lip and when they disappeared there were two dark marks underneath my lip so if you looked at my face upside down there was a face. my brother was so amused he forced my chin into so many photos >.>

so my brother kept saying 'we need to buy shredded coconut and whipped cream!!' and i would always reply with 'it's DESICCATED COCONUT' (cause that's what sisters are meant to do). and he would be like 'okay okay fine ... de-de-desiccated'

so when we got to coles he was like 'um we need to buy shredded coconut!' and i was like 'DID YOU JUST SAY SHREDDED COCONUT AGAIN?!' and he was like 'umm .... er ... okay ... we need to buy ... ur ... de ... di ... um ... disintegrated coconut or whatever'

and i was just like 'AHAHAHAHAHAHA DISINTEGRATED COCONUT AHAHAHAHA' and i did that mean thing again where i made him say it heaps of times and just laugh at him cause it just sounds funny. i almost felt like making him go to a coles person and ask for disintegrated coconut! well, no. i'm so nice i just told him that it was desiccated and he realised what he said :D

also, my brother made me take a photo of this price thingy and i didn't know why. i asked him 'wait ... why should i take a photo of this?' and with an immature, sheepish grin he pointed at it and said that it said 'ass. colour'. sigh. primary school boys.

30/11/2011

i dont actually remember the exact date for this so i'm just gonna average the current date and the date of my last post lol :D

okay. so we're watching our asian drama during dinner. and even after dinner we continue watching the episode. so my mum and i are watching while jason's playing on my ipod cause he doesnt watch asian dramas with us anymore.

finally, we finish the episode. so i'm about to walk into my room but i realise that i havent fed my goldfish for the day! (i usually feed them dinner time) so i get the fish food out to feed them. then i begin to since sing Moves Like Jagger. and i was up to the bit where i'm mooing musically when my mum and my brother begin to burst out laughing. so i walk up to them and go HEY THAT'S HOW THE SONG GOES! and they keep on laughing. so i laugh with them. thinking that they were laughing at me.

so yeah, it was awkward. because it turns out they weren't laughing at me at all. isn't that awkward? when you think people near you who are laughing are laughing because of something you did so you start talking to them about it but then they tell you that they weren't laughing about that? yeah. that.

turns out that my mum had just given my brother one of those dried plums to eat (those really sour asian snacks):

it looks weird in this photo ... but i hope you guys know what i'm talking about ...

well apparently it was so sour my brother made that cliche face hollowing eyes twitching sour face. except his eyelids also flipped. it was so sour his eyelids flipped by themselves.

and i thought my mooing was funny!

I didn’t expect anything. But there was my brother, opening our home door IN SBHS UNIFORM! He had the blouse, tie, jumper, cap, shorts, belt and socks on. Immediately I began to pinch his cheeks and say how cute he looked! Omg I really wanted to take a photo and post it here … but since he’s actually stumbled upon this blog once (and … the URL hasn’t changed since then so he could be stalking around at this moment … and I can’t make this private =/) I guess he suspected.

Cause the moment I took the camera and suggested a photo he was like “Yeah okay, but DON’T POST IT ANYWHERE.”

Me: (looks from side to side) hehehehe … uh … so I can’t post it on facebook? (cause that’s totally where I was intending to post it) Come on … please?!

Jason: No!

Me: Please! But you look so cute!

Jason: Nooooooooo!!! That’ll be so embarrassing! Pinky promise?

Me: (I don’t want my brother to never trust me again) okay fine. (so we pinky promised)

But OMG HE LOOKED SO CUTE! He tried on the sports uniform too and everything looks so much better than our school’s uniform! Most of the stuff is blue instead of brown so it looks really good. Apparently the lady who was helping him with his uniform had two sons who go to SBHS and she thought that SGHS uniform looked ugly. My brother was like >.> (my emoticon on msn which has this guy looking side to side suspiciously) cause the lady didn’t know that he had a sister LOL.

Later that night I tried on their tracksuit pants and jacket … OMG THEY’RE SO COMFORTABLE! And they look good! So much better than our school’s :( Also did I mention that their shorts have SO MANY POCKETS? There’re the pockets at the back and on the side there’s both a zip pocket and a non-zip pocket on the same side! So cool man.

Later I found out that my brother wore the uniform for two hours waiting for me to come home to show me cause he knew that I was even more excited than him in seeing his new uniform :( it made my missing train adventure even more sad :(
