Hi there, My summer vacation already started. The weather was actually quite alright but stormy on some days. There were some really warm days and heavily rainy days. Though I would say it was quite a good start of my vacation. It was worse in some years in the past when it was cold and…

Hi there, This month was so fast! I was busy with lots of things-both at work and at home. At home, I got 4 new plants for my balcony-Ilex (holly) Blue Angel, Heuchera (coral bell) orange and silver, and Pieris japonica (Japanese andromeda) Flaming Silver. They all can tolerate winter (evergreen except coral bells because…

Ho ho ho, My Christmas this year was quite eventful and intense. I got lots of decoration at home that I didn’t plan for, but it was all to make my home cozy :) This time I caught up with the advent calendar. So I lit candles every Sunday and watched Julkalender on TV. It…

Hello there,  It was getting darker and colder but the Christmas vibes were also increasing more and more. I had decorated my apartment for Christmas for a bit although I was not really Christian. I just went to a Christian high school for 12 years. Perhaps that was how I got used to Christmas. Here…

Hi there, Finally I got to throw the first group dinner at my own apartment. The occasion was my birthday dinner. I didn’t do it on my birthday but the day after. The menu was some sort of Thai-inspired dishes. Everyone was just so full afterwards.  These are the guests (friends and colleagues) whom I…

Hi there, This had been the heaviest month so far since I moved to Gothenburg. I didn’t feel this much stressed for a long while. It was about the mortgage and the new apartment. This was one of the biggest decisions I made in my life. It was just a lot to think about-money, worries,…

Hello there, Things were getting back to normal after the winter holidays. January was so long and February was super short. The month was almost over. There wasn’t much happening except some events at Afry. I also just recovered from a cold and got back to my normal routine (gym, swimming, hot yoga, and dancing)…

Merry Christmas! I had a white Christmas this year. It was pretty nice and beautiful although I didn’t celebrate outdoor. It was just cozy to look outside and see that it was all white and fluffy while it was christmasy inside. This year I celebrated with my friends Dongjiao, Kasper, and their kids and family…

Hi there, This November was so dark and so busy. There were changes at work and the project was getting more and more intense. I had to travel to Södertälje to do some tasks at Scania a couple of time this month. I used to think that a field trip was fun. Though me going…

Hello there, The highlight of this month was the driving licence! After about one year and a half, I finally got it. It was a very expensive investment. I started taking driving classes around May last year. It took so long because I did the manual car instead of the automatic car. I used to…
