I just came back from a short trip to my home town last week. It was a good trip, catching up with friends, having 2 road trips with family and having a drama marathon which I haven’t done it in a while. My room is still the same. Although it’s recently renovated while I’m away because there were some cracks on the wall due to my neighbour house works. Layout wise is slightly different after the renovation work. My mom […]

Transformation of a Kanji word
In today’s lesson, my sensei taught us a very interesting meaning behind a Kanji word. 辛い（つらい – tsu-ra-i）: hardship, mentally painful 泣く（なく – na-ku）: to cry 涙 （なみだ – na-mi-da）: tears And if we do these that word can give us a brand new meaning: For 辛（い） + (work hard or hang in there) = 幸（せ）read: しあわせ shi-a-wa-se.
