Obligatory Self-Explanatory First Post

It is 2:45 AM on the 29th of August 2017…
Exactly 1 week before leaving the Netherlands and a couple more hours before moving out of my apartment room in Rotterdam…

AND I’M SETTING UP THIS BLOG???

That’s right, instead of focusing on clearing up the last bits of my 2-year old room and procrastinating on responsibilities, I’m starting a blog for my semester abroad in Japan.

And why is that Xin? Why the sudden motivation to do this?

Well, it’s definitely been a while since I kept a blog (Why the last time I was in this blogging habit was back in high school 5 years ago!), and I thought it would be nice to share my experiences and adventures during my time in Tokyo. I was also thinking that if I get back to blogging I could also maintain those writing habits. Then there’s the exchange report that needs to be handed in upon returning, so perhaps this would help in case I have writer’s block when I’m working on it?

Alright so some basic info about me and my semester abroad:

  • Hailing from Malaysia, Xin is a 3rd-year Bachelor student at the Erasmus University Rotterdam in the Netherlands; majoring in Arts and Culture studies.
  • I’ll be studying at Keio University in Tokyo, Japan during the Fall Semester, from September 2017 to end January 2018.
  • Side hobbies include reading, drawing, watching movies, playing the piano and cosplaying. πŸ˜€

So yes, a very warm welcome to my blog~ πŸ™‚

It is going to take some serious dedication in keeping a blog like this and making sure I don’t abandon this halfway, so myΒ main goal would be updating this place weekly. Hopefully I can still write a thing or two while dealing with my exchange life in between.

I guess that’s all I have to say for now? Well alright CHEERS FOR A FIRST POST~


*Also excuse the current design for this blog I’ll edit this site as I go~
