## 2. 1/2/2025

昨日、友達と一緒に 2025年のビジョン ボードを作りました。📌 

今年は、新しいスキルを勉強して 🤓、もっとアートを作りて 🎨、旅行と人生のパートナーを見つけたいと思っています 🧳。もっと良い人間になりたいです。 💪🏽 

マレー語にはそういうことわざがあります: "kata-kata itu doa" " (言葉は祈りです)。それから、僕の2025年のビションは声に出して言ってますよ。🙏🏽 

ビジョン ボードを作ったの後、僕たちがアイスを食べに行きました。僕はラズベリー シャーベットとココナッツ シャーベットを食べました。本当に美味しかったです~ 🍨 

みなさん、2025 年のめどと夢は何ですか? ✨ 

-

Yesterday, I made a 2025 vision board with some friends. 📌 

This year, I want to gain new creative/professional skills 🤓, make more art 🎨, and find a partner to travel and spend life with 🧳. I want to be a better person this year.

There is a saying in Malay: "kata-kata itu doa" (words are prayers), so I'm manifesting this by saying my 2025 visions out loud. 🙏🏽 

After we made our vision boards, we went to get ice cream. I got a raspberry sorbet and coconut sorbet! It was so good~ 🍨 

What are your goals and dreams for 2025? ✨

## 4. 12/2/2024

It's December already?! How time flies!

I've been in Japan for 3 weeks now, and I'm going back to Malaysia very soon. I have mixed feelings about this.

Although my time here has been fun, my Japanese is far from fluent so I feel handicapped by my basic language skills (I constantly feel like I'm troubling people around me). I'm also scared of getting lost/sick here so I have to be extra careful of the things I do and the places I go (but even then, I still got an asthma attack, I lost a tooth, and I got my heart broken 😂).

Anyway, I will soon need to reflect on not just these past few weeks but also this whole year. I feel like I'm being forced to wake up from a long dream and face reality. I will also need to go see a dentist as soon as possible. 😂 

I wonder what 2025 has in store for me. 🤔

先週ぐらい、は広島、福岡、大阪、京都に行きました。それも、HTの友達に2人を会いました。本当に疲れっていますが、楽しいです! 後でもっと書きます。 ✨ 

今日は鎌倉に行ってきます。天気はあまり良くないと思いますから、少し心配しています…

さあ、がんばります~ 💪🏽

In the past week or so, I went to Hiroshima, Fukuoka, Osaka, and Kyoto. I also met two of my HT friends. I'm really tired, but I'm really enjoying myself! I'll write more later. ✨

I'm going to Kamakura today. I'm a little worried because I don't think the weather will be very good...

Ah well, let's keep going~ 💪🏽

## 8. 11/8/2024

My brain tends to mix up words, especially when I'm tired or sleepy.

For example: A friend wrote about falling in love at an amusement park, and because I recently learnt the word 'amusement park' in Japanese, I excitedly translated it in my head:

✨ 昨日ようちえんで可愛い人に恋をしました。✨ 

Being able to use new words is nice... but it seems I have confused ようちえん with ゆうえんち (which I also learnt recently). 😰 

やばい!

Notes:

遊園地　ゆうえんち　amusement park 
幼稚園　ようちえん　kindergarten

## 9. 11/4/2024

I was looking at some Japanese onsens in Google Maps yesterday and I realised that they generally don't allow people with tattoos to use their facilities. Some also explicitly state that organised crime members (and their relatives) are not allowed on their premises.

Are there alternative onsen establishments for these groups to enjoy hot spring water? If there are, I wonder what those onsens look like. 🤔

I also came across a visual guide by the Japanese Ministry of Environment on bathing in and drinking onsen water. It made me realise I should be careful about using onsen because I have dry/sensitive skin. 🫠 

Anyway, what's your favourite onsen, and how has it helped you? ♨️

## 10. 10/19/2024

🦉: "Other people's reviews were also bad."

1️⃣ 他の人のレビューも悪かったです。
2️⃣ 他の人のレビューも悪いでした。

I was doing a Duolingo exercise when I got 1️⃣ as the translation for the English sentence above.

Is 2️⃣ wrong, or does it have a different meaning? 🙏🏽
