My goodness, it's already July!

Yes, I've been dead quiet here since... March. It's not as if I didn't have anything to write about or I wanted to disappear from the cyber space. I was just... not in a mood for writing. I feel awful for not writing to my friends...

While I was quiet, I was doing...

• A trip to Japan
  It was fun-packed 2 weeks in April, spending a quality time with my family and friends. The weather was brilliant. Exhausted because of the busy schedules, but we are looking forward to go back there in near future.
• Creative activities
  Did some pencil drawing and poetry writing, which I hadn't done for ages. I felt alive again. Pity that the Muse doesn't visit me regularly.
• Volunteer translation
  One for marine conservation charity group, and one for an artist. Felt myself useful for the contributions. But why am I not lucky in money-making??
• A little holiday in London
  The excuse for this trip was to visit the Japanese consulate. But it was a lovely chance to get out of this country for a change of air, indeed. This was my 5th visit to London, but I've never become bored of the city. And this time, we were doing aeroplane spotting from our hotel window. I missed a Uzbekistan airline while in a bathroom!!!

Now the schools are closed until the beginning of September, so cross your fingers for my sanity, please! (No, my girls are not bad. It's me, who hasn't got enough patience.)
