am bored at work... (again) so here's a postie~
did you all have a good start to 2020? can't believe we're already 3 weeks into it, eh? 🙃
and next week, we will have lunar new year~ it will be the year of the rat! ... and now i suddenly wanna be drawing rats XD
anyway, i had a great turn of the year :D spent it with family and friends, and had heaps and heaps of great food :D
very happy!
some sads :(
on the other hand, australia's not doing so well :( the bushfire is still burning... and it has been burning since october last year. yeah, months and months and months now! more than SIX times bigger than the 2018 Californian fire and at least TWICE as big as the Siberian fire from last year. More than a billion animals have died in the fire, too. Lots of poor koalas and kangaroos and other Australian animals :( Poor animals. And more than 300 million tonnes of CO2 has been released into the world's air... and 25 people have perished, too.
AND THE FIRE IS STILL BURNING
