Today is a day without work and appointment. I supposed to enjoy this kind of day, however, I was overwhelmed with housework. There is still a lot to be done. I can only blame myself for accumulating too many chores to do at once. Anyway, I took a break, lit up a candle. And my …
On 13.10. I was sitting in a train that brought me to Cologne. How the month passed by I do not know, tomorrow is 13.11. I took some photos and have not had time to share them with you. I’m quickly sending you a few e-postcards today, perhaps more to come when I have more …
On the 1st of August 2022, I set up the crowdfunding website for “The Journey”, so that people who like my content can support me and be part of “The Journey”. 3 months has passed, I’m spoiled by you all, from all the coffee and the kind words I’ve received. For every cup of coffee …

I have developed a new routine to keep me in a healthier condition emotionally and physically lately. I do whatever need to be done, like having lesson, practice, funerals, running offices, replying emails, organizing and planning, meetings, housework and etc. No matter how busy am I, around 5pm to 6 pm I will go home …
