🫡 The ASEAN Hive Founder Retakes The Helm 👊

Greetings folks, I have been a bit invisible the last few years, but I have been behind the scenes voting, curating, and maintaining ASEAN Hive while I attempt to juggle an overwhelming amount of responsibilities placed upon me by life. For the last two years I have been barely able to find 5 hours of sleep each night, my wife's health has gotten worse, I became an unpaid caregiver to stepfather while he slowly died, and now living in the USA with my mom, I have all the household responsibilities of my childhood while still having to be a caregiver to my wife and find a way to make enough money to survive .

It has been hard, but I am here, hanging on to life by a thread, and was finally able to send my wife and daughters back to Cambodia so they can seek healthcare and renew passports. This 10+ year ordeal to simply visit the USA was a total mistake, my family looks down upon us for being poor, my former friends think I am anti-American, and so we are isolated in a rural racist farm town where even a conversation with a stranger may only once a month. My American family is completely uninterested in us, and it's so sad to see that the selfish pursuit of wealth is the only driving force here. Anyhow, enough rambling, the 4 posts below are awesome undervalued, worth your consideration, and I promise to soon post a life update once I can find the words to express my feelings.

Wednesdaywalk I - Memory of My Teaching Anniversaries

by: @crazygal

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Fifteen years of becoming a teacher to all indeginous students is more than a historic part of my life. That is the most important of all. My love life failure became also a lesson learned for my high school students. I explained them that we couldn't trust anyone 100% so we have to set aside some feeling for ourselves, for each other and set boundaries to avoid severe pain after all. I'm moving on positively , but I never cry like how I cried when it was new.

Wednesday Walk - Celebration With My Aunt

by: @cdaveboyles23

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Im out of place but no problem, I will enjoy my day when they come back home, I will have enough money too for Christmas party.I am already adjusted our boundaries to avoid conflict. What is important, my kids are doing well. Well, my Aunt celebrated just three of us at home for her 15 years in service in her school in the mountain. She came home for visiting the cemetery and she is grateful for the opportunity God has given to her despite of her health issues.

Wednesdaywalk - Buying Meat For Lunch

by: @olivia08

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} They Are craving for a delicious lunch from my recipe so I went out and bought two and a half kilo of young lamb meat. Young meat is so easy to cook and they loved it. I cooked it from the food they loved to eat by mixing the cooked lamb and cooked rice with wheat. That's a good their native food and I improvised it with my techniques that made them crazy eating. Even the children love it.

Making Achu Murukku for Deepavali Festival

by: @yashny

^{(ᴇxᴄᴇʀᴘᴛ)} Hello everyone! Today I'm going to share about another snack made for the upcoming Deepavali festival. It is called Achu Murukku which basically translates to moulded murukku. This is actually one of my favourites and I like it even more than the regular murukku. It is shaped like a flower with many petals. It's probably why it is called 'kuih ros' in Malay language these days.
