I Went Home
I went home this week. I don't usually go home, about once a month. Thus, I miss my family so much, and my mom also urges me to go home a lot. All in all, I think it is high time for me to go home.
Initially, I could not have a chance to go home because my grandparent got COVID two weeks ago. My mom is afraid that there is still the risk of getting infected. However, I got a phone call and told her I had a kinda hard time recently. She changed her mind and encouraged me to go home. "Let's go to eat a good meal then you'll feel better! I'll treat it!" Said she.
Chicken in my home, it looks like there're some sesamins in her back.
Getting off the train,I brought the dinner to my dad's office and ate with him.
It have been a long time since I ate 大慶麵店 last time. Da Qing was my living zone when I was 12. My favorite is their signature dish, pork chop bento, containing a thick, big pork chop, a bunch of bamboo shot, and bok choy, and a perfect circle fried egg and pickled mustard. To my surprise, the taste of the bento is just as good as it was years ago. The evidence of time passed is that I can eat it all now, because when I was little, I always left some rice and pork since I was a small eater. My dad also treated me to a milk tea as usual. He didn’t always treat drinks to kids, but he usually buys us drinks since we have gone to college. That’s one of the secrets why me and my siblings love him so much. He always cares about our meal and lest us from being hungry.
The other day’s lunch was not as good as I expected. I was choose between 屋馬 stake house and Joyfull restaurant in 米平方商場. Finally, Joyfull restaurant won because I hadn't eaten it before and I’m not a big fan of meat. However, the only advantage of Joyfull restaurant is the drinks are bottomless. The meals were not delicious at all, so I don’t think I will go to this restaurant again.
Another wish I went home this week is to have a haircut. My hair has been too long and annoyed me a little bit. Thus, it’s satisfying to have my hair cut to a shorter length. Even if the barber told me that if it’s cut that short, it can be choppy, I still want to leave it shorter, it will get long soon anyway. In the end, it does start to get choppy, but it’s lighter and more comfortable for me. So that’s fine, I guess, maybe better than it’s too long. Probably.
Me and my mom and my brother and not really good curry katsudon.
Getting up with the sunshine get through the window, have a fresh cream swiss roll for breakfast with my family, and then watch a random movie together in a small bedroom. It seems trivial, but with realizing its preciousness, I’m filled with joyfulness. Being grateful is not that hard, but sometimes I forget it and need to be reminded.
I got a chocolate basque cheesecake as a birthday cake. I ate it in the train and took a picture with my hometown’s gorgeous dawn.
