My son is 4!

My son who turns 4! We had a small celebration at home today. This is his first birthday celebration at Sydney, Australia. Usually, we celebrate his birthday at home and we invited some friends to join the celebration. However, this year it was just amongst us three. I baked a cake for him as usual but this time he helped me to bake his cake. He enjoys watching me baking and cooking and always asks questions on the procedure that I follow to make a meal. We've got him a collection of Roald Dahl books which I've bought from Gumtree Australia. He enjoys reading them almost everyday. Speaking about books, I found that Charlotte's web is one of the most well written books and both Aritya and I enjoyed reading them. Initially, we'd borrowed the book from our local library, but then since it was so enjoyable, we bought one for ourselves. It is definitely one of our favourite books.

Mother's Day 2019

A day that has been special for me since my first pregnancy.
A day to remember and to appreciate the hardship of my mother.
A day that will always be special as it always coincide with my son's birthday. It was the same day as my son's birthday last year. As for this year, his birthday is tomorrow.
I am feeling gratitude, contended and appreciative.
Happy Mother's Day

Sayonara Japan

I cannot believe that this day finally came.
Me leaving Japan for good. As I mentioned previously, our next venture begun. The next phase of our life is in Sydney, Australia. We have finally bid goodbye to our good old Japan and flew to Sydney at the end of December 2018. Satya left earlier and bubu and I stayed back to clear the house and the both of us flew to Sydney to join Satya.
The last months of our stay in Japan was memorable in many ways. We independently, cleared the furniture from the house, transported the car to the port to be shipped to Australia, celebrated a very lonely Christmas in Japan, stayed in a hotel the last night in Osaka and flew to Sydney.
I miss Japan for its beautiful culture, its friendly and humble people, its cleanliness, its attention to details, its healthcare system, its geographical wonders, its food and its charm. I am forever thankful for Japan as giving me a life, my children, my confidence, my education, my humbleness and all the beautiful things.
I hope to visit Japan again, definitely, whenever I am crushed with doubtfulness and to refresh my physical and soul and to remind me why I should always strive on.
