Rounding up my vacation

Today is my last day here in Norway. It’s the day of my cousins wedding and then tomorrow morning I’ll be flying home. This has been a really nice trip. Being able to help out my mother with some of her chores has been a bit tiring, but I know she needed the extra hands. I am looking forward to come back home to my own place.

Nothing much has happened since the last post, which is why I haven’t written anything. I decided to just mention them all in one longer post, instead on multiple short ones, since a lot of days was just spent chilling or minor events.

My mother was gone last weekend on a girls trip to Sweden, so I got to have the house for myself. It was really nice to both get a little break from mum, but also be able to hang out with my friends that I usually hang out with. We played some games and I got to order kebab for dinner. I ordered for the usual place and to no surprise, it tasted delicious. My mother returned back on Monday and I made dinner for the both of us.

The following week, not much happened. We planted some new flowers on my fathers grave, and picked up my cousins wedding present on Tuesday. On Wednesday we sorted out all my dads cloths and put them in big bags to give to charity and then in the evening my sister and her boyfriend came over for dinner that I was cooking. On Thursday, my mother and I delivered my dads old cloths to Fretex (aka charity) and then we had a nice walk down to Grünerløkka and had a nice dinner. I had some spicy Won tons followed my Crazy Duck.

Yesterday however was a nice day. I made plans to hang out with some of my old friends that I had before moving to Belgium. After meeting my mum in the city to go shoe shopping for the wedding, I hopped on a tram and met my friends in a park close to where one of them lived. Since one of them was recovering from a concussion, we just decided to keep it chill. We tried a lot of different Asian snacks and talked about what has been going on in our life’s for the past years. It was really nice seeing them again and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I’m always a bit nervous when it comes to social gatherings due to my social anxiety, but this was nothing but nice.

Today is the big day so a lot of things will happen. We are scheduled to head out at around noon. I need to run some small errands and then it’s probably just going to go very fast with the wedding ceremony and the after party. I was tasked to take a lot of photos which I’m looking forward to.

So that was basically my last week quickly summed up. As I stated, it’s been a nice trip, but I’m looking forward to be going home. Be back with my boyfriend, my pc, my own bed and back to streaming again.

Another year, another birthday month

We are back in October aka the month of celebrations. We started with my birthday which was on the 8th and then we just recently celebrated my boyfriend’s birthday on the 19th.

My birthday was really nice. I had an event over at my twitch channel (twitch.tv/yannani) that I called “Subtemberthon”. It was to take advantage of the platform’s Subtember event.

Subtember is an event that Twitch does every year for the month of September. During that event one can save up 30% on subs and gifted subscriptions. So it’s the prime to give your favourite stream a bit of extra support.

Since the event lasted until Oct 1st and my birthday is on the 8th I decided to have a 3 week long subathon so that people could contribute while the discounts were active and still have it count towards my birthday stream.

So the day started of really nice. I did a nice 6h stream where I was even wearing a cute little birthday hat while playing games. Then at around 6 pm I got ready to head out since boyfriend and I had made dinner reservation at a place in the city called “Seoul club house”. We arrived just in time and got seated at our table. We already knew what we wanted since we had already looked at the menu. They sadly did not have the drinks that we wanted so we had to pick something else. When it came to the food, everything looked and tasted really good. We happily enjoyed our meal and when we were finished we headed upstairs to play some pool. Boyfriend told me beforehand that he was really bad, but I guess it must have been his lucky day, because he won against me 3-0. Despite the fact that I felt a bit annoyed to have lost we still had a really fun time.

Fast forwards to the 19th aka boyfriend’s birthday. We had a normal start to our day, woke up and played some games. At around 4:30pm we got ready to ride our bikes to the bowling place and meet up with the rest of the family. We played two rounds of bowling where the nephew got total 2 strikes and Nathan’s brother got 3 strikes in a row. I only got 1 spare and so did Nathan, but at least we weren’t last (I was for the first round, but we don’t talk about that xD). After we had played it was time for dinner. We had raclette with a variety of meat, some champions, coleslaw and potatoes and then we had a small chocolate pudding for dessert. When we came home we continued the celebration with some Piña colada and some lemon merengue pie.

All in all, both birthday were a success. I also got an amazing present for my birthday. I got my very own violin. For those who doesn’t know, I used to play the violin back when I was growing up and I have always wanted to return, but since those instruments are usually quite expensive I have never been able to afford one. Together we my boyfriend we found some really nice ones for just above €100 and he said I could get one for my birthday this year. I have been practicing and having a lot of fun with it.

My next post will be in around 1 week time, because that’s when boyfriend is doing a new concert together with a friend of theirs which means more photo jobs for me 😀

Hope you all have a great rest of your week and get ready for Halloween if you’re celebrate that ^^
