Just hung up the last piece of our washi calendar for the year. And yet I felt like it was only just a few months back when I bought the set a couple of months in advance before the new year.
How the year flew!
Last Month of 2023!
Life with a grade schooler: Catching the train
We had a long drive last night (we arrived at 2am!) hence I decided to commute for the day’s activities. That, plus we were hurrying not to be late for our choir practice and I wasn’t sure if parking will come easy.
One thing to note: we were all on time on all of our appointments. Except for catching the train. I was the only one who made it inside the train while Yui couldn’t get it despite trying to bar the door with her bag.
I made exaggerated mouth movements to tell her I’ll wait for her on the platform of our destination station. It seemed she has understood.
Was on tenterhooks waiting for Yui. When she did arrive she had a big smile on her face with laughter in her eyes.
We need to have more training for independence now.
Yui draws: Benj
So handsome.
Learning Polish in Summer 2023
Out of curiosity, Yui googled what is the most difficult language to learn (from Japanese perspective) and found it’s Polish.
So she’s set her mind to learn it this summer break. Let’s see how long this resolve will last.
Bye my IP Phone
Our office had made the switch to mobile phones. So today I said goodbye to my beloved IP phone, that’s kept me company since 2012.
Funny that during the pandemic, I used this phone for probably only three times max. And yet only this week I’ve communicated with our Client via this phone for like 6 times.
That’s what I call “going out with a BANG!!
Hatsuhinode 2023
Blessed with such a beautiful first sunrise in this year. Goosebumps seeing Lady Sun rising. Such an amazing scene.
The sunrise came in late actually. It was forecasted 6:50. But 6:53 came and we just have an increasingly lighter sky by the second. When she did came out at 6:57, it was breathtaking.
Thankful to have witnessed this grandeur, especially when it was super cloudy before and after 1st. 🥰
