I woke up at like 2PM today, which isn't super late, but compared to my 5AM school routine, this was like waking up at 7PM.

My parents decided we would get hotpot for brunch. I'd live and breathe hotpot if I could, you know. I have this tradition for my birthday where we get hotpot every year. It makes me feel like I'll live forever. Maybe science has some kind of theory that backs this.

I got Angus beef, of course. My brother wanted salmon but they didn't have any. Shame. I wanted to steal some off of his plate, but oh well. More beef for us.

neverending piles of beef

My pot wasn't working for some reason so I had to switch seats with my little sister. My dad was cooking for her so I really didn't have to share any. Also, I choked on the glass noodles. Was it karma? I feel like this should be a more traumatic event. 

I left to get melonpan after I ate and came back to eat it with the dessert the hotpot restaurant had. My older brother stole a bit but he eventually went to get his own. 

the loneliest melonpan you ever did see

My family and I went to go sit down outside and eat more melonpan (with ice cream this time). It's a family bonding thing - we eat out, then we go outside to have drinks and dessert and chat. Then my mom and I went to buy my cat a few things before we went home.

Then I went straight to sleep. Bet you weren't expecting that!
