Hey guys! I’m back from a family holiday to the UK. I managed to schedule a post every other day for when I was gone, so hopefully you didn’t notice anything different. I was planning to resume reviews + other posts today, but it seemed odd not to acknowledge the trip in some way. It’s… Read More I’m Back!
Yesterday, I went for the 2019 MEXT Scholarship Briefing session. But this time, I went as one of the scholars and I was there to help answer questions about the scholarship. My seniors asked me to go, and since I remember attending a scholarship briefing session like that a few years back (and that was… Read More MEXT Scholarship Briefing Session
If you have email updates for this blog, you probably got a deluge of updates – I’m so sorry about that! I decided to move most of the archives about my time in Japan over here too. I’ve realised that those five and a half years were an important time for me and I’d like… Read More Blog Archives – Update in Progress
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending an ikebana class. I haven’t had one since my time in Infini, so I really appreciated the opportunity to learn more about ikebana and spend time with great people and beautiful flowers (given that I have the opposite of a green thumb, it’s pretty rare for me to… Read More Ikebana Class

And because the work suddenly became insane (partly because I underestimated it), I haven’t had time to schedule a few… Read More Taking a Breath + Update on my Laptop

The course definitely helped me get the basics down, although I definitely need to practice, but one ‘side-effect’ was that I ended up… Read More All My Kimono
I don’t really talk about podcasts here but since I listen to them every day, I thought I should do a roundup. The last time I talked about what I was listening to was in February 2017, so this is almost 2 year’s worth of Things I Want to Say. I’m hoping it doesn’t get… Read More 2018 in Podcasts
I’ve been thinking about moving to a self-hosted wordpress blog for quite some time. But I’ve never had the courage to do so because I heard that it’s insanely difficult to move from Blogger to WordPress. So when I came across this post by WP Beginner, I was most interested in the free offer to… Read More Moving from Blogger to WordPress with WP Beginner (Review)
Finally taking the step to consolidate as many of my blogs in one place as possible. Going forward, all blogposts will be found here. I’ll leave all my Japan stuff and previous book reviews up, but I’m definitely bringing my tea stuff and some of my favourite book reviews and Japan-related posts over here. I’ll… Read More New (Website) Beginnings
