Many Failed Yodas

Been trying to make this origami yoda for my good friend for quite a while, I have.  Many failed attempts, there are. Because of my jet-lag, this morning at three and continued working on it and finally finished!  Tough and it seems that there are many little subtleties that could make it perfect, it was.  The most difficult part to figure out, the hand was. I do some more origami want to!

The diagram and instructional videos, this is where I got.

Many failed yodas here, there are.  

Most complete and best crafted, these two are.  

Orange Yoda

Speak like yoda want to, hmm?

Steel Cut Oats Adventures

When we returned, we found that my dad had replaced the Country Choice Multigrain Oatmeal with Country Choice Steel Cut Oatmeal. That stuff that you have to cook for half an hour and is very chewy.

My mom: How long do you have to cook this?
Me: Half an hour..
My mom: We're going to starve to death!
Me: yeah, or else the oats are going to be very hard
My mom: We're going to have indigestion!
Me: ... some dangerous oatmeal this is.

.. I may be jetlagged..


Leaving the Beautiful Island

So I left Taiwan a few days ago and ate quite a lot in the last few days before leaving. We ate with a lot of people at once and so there was a looooot of food. On the airplane back, I peeked out the window again to see the most beautiful layering of mountains I have ever seen. I don't think my photographs quite capture it, but I tried.

One of the last meals on the island! Some of the dishes were bought
from the market and some were cooked by my family.
so many layers of blue mountains! I did not even +saturation
the very northern edge of the island meeting the sea

Sunrise Spa

My family took a trip to the spa on top of the mountains! It was pretty nice and cool, so the warm water was very warm. After a while, my cousin and I would jump into the cold pool and freeze so much that I could feel my hairs standing up.
