 the gems you find when cleaning

My excuses for cleaning up the house have finally run out, so for the past two weeks I, along with  my parents, have been cleaning up bit by bit while our bathrooms are getting a makeover. In the midst of cleaning out boxes and digging into dusty closets, my parents found a Nintendo Entertainment System box circa the 80s. Originally, I had thought that it was empty since our old Nintendo system with the missing converter was currently downstairs in the basement collecting dust. However, it turns out my dad had actually purchased two Nintendos when they first came out. My mom concluded that my dad is crazy and I finally found out from whom I inherited my shopping habits.

Needless to say, I've been spending way too much time playing my childhood games this week.

nostalgia tastes good

When I was little, my mom would always buy my brother and me snacks from a department store called Marks & Spencer. It wasn't until my cousin's recent trip to London when this little prawn snack sneaked its way back into my life. It's crazy how after two decades, I can still remember what this snack tasted like! Food from my childhood always floods my brain with memories of a much simpler time. Needless to say, my brother and I demolished the two bags in two days. 

 

Other than tasty prawn snacks, life has been quite busy lately. I should be job hunting, but things keep popping up and time just seems to disappear. Maybe a part of me is avoiding the job hunting process because deep down, I am really happy to be funemployed (at least for the moment anyway). I really can't complain about midday yoga and helping my parents pick out the colours and materials for our bathroom renos. Now, if I was only half as dedicated to finding a job, then life would be back in order.

Happy nostalgic snacking everyone!
