sleepy lion

I wrote a long post yesterday.. I haven't posted it yet cus it's not finished. 

Jing's parents are staying with us for just over a week. We went out to dinner last night (spicy fish, yum yum) and it was good. I felt so embarrassed at some points because I didn't know what they were saying to me. They normally speak Cantonese to each other and I can't speak Cantonese or understand it. But they can speak a little bit of Mandarin so whenever they spoke to me they'd speak to me in Mandarin. 
We went to the supermarket after dinner and they were looking for a milk powder and I showed them a few and they kept saying "liu lai" and I was telling them that I didn't know what liu lai was and then I realised they were saying niu nai but with possibly a Cantonese accent and that means milk. 

Last night Jing and her mum were having maybe an argument and speaking sooo loudly across the house. Family. Good times. 


I painted myself a sleepy lion sleeping T.

sometimes this is how I feel.
