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…

Hello there, This month was quite quiet. There wasn’t much happening. People just started to come back after summer vacation and I didn’t really do anything special this summer. So it was like a slow start and coming-back-to-work feeling.  I also went back to my normal routine. However, I actually reduced the activities. For example,…

Hi there, Göteborgsvarvet was done! My first long distance running after more than a year of training. I made it at 1:55:25. It was better than I expected. I thought I did 2 hours something but it turned out to be faster than that in the end. I loved the energy of people cheering along…

Hi there, Last 2 months were crazily busy. I did too many activities besides my full-time job. Every week there were Swedish class 2 times, driving class 1 time, gym 3 times, running 1 time, swimming 1 time, hot yoga 1 time and dance classes 2 times. I didn’t plan to do all these at…

Hello there, The year was fast. Suddenly it was already December. I only hoped that this winter wasn’t so harsh to me. It was my third time coming to Sweden and the second winters of the past times were not easy due to the darkness and loneliness. Maybe it was too soon to say as…
