summer is here

Yeah, it is summer time and it really really gets a little too hot now. Gosh. These days my body is sticky and the heat is just scorching. I missed springs!

Anyway, I have not written much on this blog. I guess the time has passed pretty fast, I almost forget I have a diary to write daily. How can start writing again?  These days, despite the many things I do, I have no appetite to write at all. There any many interesting things, definitely. Perhaps, I am just not a writer. :(

I do contemplate on many things though, especially about life, learning about self. Living here, far from family and friends have done me many goods. Seriously. I am less stress here, I can do what I want, I dont have to think what my friends think about me. In fact, I smile more here and look at things very differently now. Hhehhehe… in fact, a colleague who comes for biz trip here told me that I looked different here, I looked younger and fresh! hahhaha… i think so too.

The things I really like about japan is presentation. This is a place where I realise, determinations work. I never believe in nurture. Yeah, sad to say. I grew up in nature. If I can do sth, it is because I am naturally able. But here, I noticed many things called nurture. They grew people here. In fact, I realise that I can do something that I am almost weakest at. Language! To my surprise, I can pick up the language pretty fast. I know since young that language is never my expertise. that is the main reason i never want to learn chinese, being bilingual is already hard-enough. how to be tri-lingual? but now, I realise that nothing is impossible. we just need to spend the time and devotion. it works!

i am an aunt again

Yeah, the title says it all. My sister has just given birth 2 weeks ago. She gave birth to a baby boy. Well, I am definitely very happy for her. Thank God for the delivery, err not exactly delivery as it is c-section. Anyway, I guess I just live too far from her town and as I am pretty occupied with work, learning japanese and going out, I have quite forgotten many things about home.

Congratz sis!
