Hello!

    Totally forgotten that we have a writing space here, until a friend of mine says that I should start blogging. Reading back a few posts, realising how much I have changed and become a different person now, probably still evolving. haha 

   What made me stop writing for many years was mostly depression. I felt writing will reinforce my thoughts, somehow solidifies it, reassure the ideas and negative thoughts that I had. Since this blog is about thoughts and inspiration anyway, and I didn't have any good inspiration :p So, decided to take a break from writing, focus on my mental health - never thought that I would need so long of a break to the point I have forgotten about this blog. Well, I am glad that I am back here once again.

I am surprised this blog is still being updated!

    Currently in Japan, never thought that I will be here for good on year 2025 onwards. It's a blank canvas for me, looking for something new to work with. Of course, income gonna be much lower or maybe just pocket money from the husband but that's okay, as long as I am happy living a simple life. A few things in my mind that I wanna do but still unsure about it. 

    So many good memories of me and my best friend spending time together flashing back in my mind now :)) 

じゃ、まため〜

Jya, matane~ 

See you next time~ 

        

5 year recap (2019 till 2023)

Whoa, time surely went by fast isn't it. Yesterday was my 170th day in Bangkok and suddenly I miss the memories I have captured in Dayre.com. I captured much memories of my travel and Taiwan exchange on that platform, and now I couldn't really recall my life there except some snippets that I have blogged here. Thus I decided that I must note down some of my thoughts here, if not I couldn't recall it back few years down the road. But before that, let's do a quick summary of the year 2019 - 2023.

Year 2019 (26 yo)

Started working at HRDF 30th Jan onward as research associate, where I looked into the outcome of training schemes. Lots of learning in first year, but got kinda repetitive after the 5th or 6th Outcome report. Nevertheless, colleagues and teammate were really fun during my stint here.
