New Year's Eve in Quarantine

 Hi Everyone! It is Sudiksha Budhrani here and welcome back to my blog! Today I am going to share about my very unique New Year's Eve which was in QUARANTINE! 

This was our snack, we ordered various desserts from Nutella Pop Up Kitchen, a shop full of Nutella desserts. 

This is our dinner, we bought from a chinese restaurant, Shantung, we ordered tahu lapis, kuotie goreng, ayam and mock duck panggang and nasi goreng. Tahu lapis is tofu that is fried with some red sauce. Kuotie is basically fried dumpling with some eggs and veggies poured over it. Ayam is chicken and mock duck is basically the vegetarian version of chicken which is maid from gluten and these are cooked in some red sauce. Nasi goreng is fried rice, our personal favourite. 

 This is actually barbequed sausage. 

Those are pictures of our midnight supper, so we had a barbecue in the third floor of my house which was open air so we could watch the fireworks at the same time, it was pretty nice. My grandparents, auntie and uncle also came for a drive thru to my house, it was nice to meet them after so long. I have not gone to my grandparents house in so long, I don't even remember what their house looks like. This Covid better leave faster man, its been way too long already and I can't wait to go out when the situation improves. 

This is the final picture of the corn once it is ready, it tastes so good as I put chilli and mozzarella cheese in it.

Reflection of 2020: 2020 was indeed a very tough year, firstly my dad passing away, then a Covid Pandemic, could the year seriously have gotten worse? As much as possible, no matter how bad the situation might come out to be, I always try to remind myself, be positive, everything happens for a reason and will be okay someday. Bearing the loss of a loved one is the hardest thing that I have gone through in my life and I had to push myself to go through it with a smile. If I didn't choose to be happy, who would ? 2020 taught me to appreciate the simplest of things and be grateful for everything I had. To be honest, I was thankful for online university because imagine if I didn't have online university, I would have been crazy bored. I hope 2021 will be much better and that we can have universities face to face and meet people that I haven't in a long time.
