Was expecting a cloudy and bleak first dawn. But we’re instead blessed with a lovely, clear, and bright first sunrise for 2024! Harbinger please!

New Year Colour
I made the crossover last April this year.
I’ve grown up and started painting my nails. Not by myself, unfortunately. It’s that “little” gift I gift myself with every month for working like a horse. 
Today, to usher in the new year, I requested for a happy colour. 
My gel nail artist created a colour combination just for me.
Last Month of 2023!
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!
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!!
Life with a grade schooler: Confessions!
A couple months ago, Yui told me she has a crush on one of her teachers in her after school school.
Last week, she told me she confessed and expressed her feelings to the guy, 12 years her senior and twice as tall. I wanted to ask details about how she said it, what was the setting, (and most importantly) what he said. She just wouldn’t share she eventually got angry because I kept on badgering her.
And then this evening, she suddenly blurted out, without preamble: he told me to say again what I said ten years after (in Japanese).
I was at first confused on what she meant. Then it dawned on me. Ahhhhh!!! I’m happy for my baby though.
My baby. Now a lady with crushes.
