juggling and table tennis

Today I learnt to: Play table tennis and rally against myself on a wall. Peni and I rallied against each other and got to 35 hits back and forth.

Reflection on the lockdown.
During the lockdown, I did not do that much exercise other than running around the house help my mum.

My five strengths

I chose my 5 strengths because I find that they accurately represent my personality and who I am. I chose love for learning because I love to learn new subjects and always try to do things to the best of my abilities. The other strength that I chose was a curiosity because I am very curious about nature and animals, as well as things like electricity, math and physics. Things like these always tend to intrigue me and make me want to know more and more. I also chose creativity thou I do not like painting nor drawing I am very creative in the sense of I often think outside the box and always try to look at problems from different angles or perspectives. I'm very honest and about how I feel about things. Social intelligence because I get along with other well and I am able to connect with different people in different situations I always listen to others and what they have to say.

Environmental stability

What is environmental stability?

Stability 

Stability is how sustainable something is like making a plastic cup out of a plastic bottle is being sustainable. This is being environmentally sustainable but there are other ways to be sustainable like, economically stable, social stability and environmental stability. 

why it's important 

economic stability is important because without economic stability the things like bread are 10 dollars one day but the next day it maybe 100 dollars without economic stability the prices of things would be all over the place. The same is with environmental stability with things like plants and animals, overfishing is not sustainable but fishing at a rate the fish reproduce then it is sustainable.

samoan week

Samoan food
I was interested in this because I wanted to learn about what the Samoans ate and what they made these things from.


Luau or Palusami – Coconut Milk Baked in Taro Leaves

What it is?
This is a traditional dish from Samoa made from solidified coconut milk baked inside taro leaves, which are in turn wrapped in banana leaves (or sometimes, foils). The resultant dish looks somewhat brown.
What did it taste like?
The coconut milk gets well blended with the aroma of baked taro leaves and onions, and releases a unique flavour.

Faiai Eleni – Fish in Coconut Cream

What is it: This is a famous main-course raw fish preparation wherein, traditionally, mackerel is used. It is typically cooked in coconut shells.

What did it taste like: Diced cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes add to the already flavorful dish, apart from the exotic taste of coconut cream and the fish. 

 Fa’apapa – Sweet Coconut Bread

What is it: This is an everyday bread dish from Samoa and is popular as a healthy breakfast menu, and is typically consumed in almost all common Polynesian households.

What does it taste like: The puffy texture and the sweet taste makes this finger food quite unique, along with the coconut milk and the flakes.

Reflection on lockdown

Positives, staying at home all day great and not doing anything at all, plus getting to spend more time with my family was enjoyable.
As for negatives, It was a bit lonely without my friends to play handball with but the cat made up for that.
As for me, I did not do much fitness as was often doing other things around the house such as doing the washing or helping clean the house.
