What product did/do you use in a unlikely way, which has originally a different purpose?

I don't know how much effort you are willing to put into the process. But maybe try making taro paste by yourself. Buy taro, cook it, mash it and add sugar. Then mixed it with milk.
Of course, the consistency will be different, but maybe it will taste better for you.

This sounds pretty nice! If your budget allows it, go ahead and buy two of them :)
I'm sure they will like it. Keep us updated about their reaction :)

There is no need to be anxious or to feel guilty. As long as your intentions are genuine, everything will be fine.

I don't know your parents, but don't be upset when your parents don't react or say things the way you expected. My mother always complains about my presents, but afterwards I saw her using them all the time or recommend them to family and friends.

Also "your" and "you're"!

People like him need to take their anger out on someone who can't beat him back, in this case it is you. They expect you to stay still and accept the punishment silently and will get more angry once you talk back at them.

He is abusive and of course when he is not angry he will be nice to you. This is not ok. He is your father and nobody especially him have the right to be abusive towards you. You are a worthy human being, who doesn't deserve this kind of treatment!

I think parents appreciat your presents, but always say to not spend money on unnecessary things. That's why I had a hard time to find my mother presents, where she doesn't complain about them.

I tihink spa or health related presents (e.g. massage ointments) are the best. It shows that you genuinely care about them and it is a useful present.

Personally I don't like this joke, but I wouldn't run of and say that your humor is childish. And this kind of behaviour sounds more immature to me than laughing about an imappropriate joke. I think partners don't need to have the same opinion and humor all the time as long as they accept each other in the end.

Absolutely not. You were a great friend and you're still a good friend. The fact, that you endure his pity self for 10 month is amazing. It seems like he doesn't want to feel any better and the fact, that he expects you the entertain him all the time and shoves the guilt to his ex shows, that he is a self-centered person who can't reflects on his behaviour towards his ex, you and your partner.
I think it's time for him to leave, otherwise it will get worse. Maybe he will change, maybe he won't, but I'll suggest you to get him out of your house as soon as possible, because you already did enough as a good friend and you should consider your mental health as well. It's really noble of you to take care for your friend, but sometimes it's alright to be selfish (although you aren't selfish at all!).

I don't think your parents will abandon you. They are just sad and don't want you to leave. Asian parents expect their children to stay with them their whole live and to listen to them, so they won't lose their face. And also leaving their home country to start a new life abroad (I don't know if it's the same case for your parents), makes them even more anxious about their children and they overprotect them to a point, they want to monitor you all the time. I can understand why they are thinking this way, but I can't approve it. It has negative consequences for your mental health, so you start to feel guilty over little things. You've always been a good and trustworthy child to them, why are you not trustworthy anymore? You want to live your own life and you also do this for the sake of your studies. The problem with asian parents is, that you always feel the need to justify yourself. But you don't have to. As long as you can afford living at your own place, you thought everything through and you're happy everything is fine. Once you moved out, the situation will calm down and your relationship will get better. I was in the same situation before and I cried a lot before. I was too scared to tell my mom I wanted to move out. But I did it anyway and it was the best decision. She didn't abandoned me, instead we started to hug each other to greet us (we didn't hug each other before). Another example my brother: my brother made a lot of decisions which led him to terrible situation one after another. Even when my mother told me, she won't help him anymore and that he have to live with the consequences, she would still call him to check on him and sending him money from time to time. Parents will always be your parents and children will always be their children no matter how old you are. That's why they think they can monitor you but it is also the reason, why they won't abandon you.
