Hope October has gotten you into a spooky mood! The month had passed by far too quickly for me, to the point where… honestly, I’m quite overwhelmed and am slightly stressed out now.

Hello, it’s been a while hasn’t it? How have you been? Are you eating well? Have you spent time with your loved ones? Are you happy with where you are right now?

As I write this, I look out the window to this gigantic lush tree full of bird feeders, which blocks out the hustle and bustle of the main street. Across from it, a friendly crow is perched atop the roof of the local pharmacy. The crow is here every day between 9am and 8pm, flying off to wherever its nest is before the night sets in. Maybe I can befriend it at some point during my stay here in London.

Happy February!

I remember talking to H just before Chinese New Year’s about how January doesn’t really feel like the new year. Instead, we seem to find the motivation to make those new year's resolutions after the lunar new year — whether that’s a cultural thing or a spiritual-we-follow-the-moon thing, I will never really understand.
