SHUUKKI #03 - 2023-10-01 (日)

What is SHUUKI? Previously in school, I used to write weekly updates for Chinese classes called 周记(zhou1ji4)which is similar to diary or 日記(にっき) in Japanese. Diaries are usually daily but instead of daily、 I changed the 日(にち、nichi)into 週(しゅう、shuu)hence the name!

This is a regular series within TOKYO BOUND blog to share short weekly updates of my journey.


Highlight of my week?

A lot of firsts – dance class, getting through student commuter pass application without using English, and cooking!

Too many cats at Gotokuji Temple.

What have I learnt this week?

Shin-Okubo and KALDI literally sells almost any kind of seasoning I can think of from home (Singapore) or SouthEast Asia that I need if I ever miss home!

Gelato Pique @ Omotesando // Did not manage to get limited edition items. I need to be faster in registering.

What could I have done better?

Be stricter with myself when it comes to time allocation. Some activities I took my time with but in the end, impacted the other plans I have like revising my Level 1 Japanese because it was almost 23:30 on a few nights.

Harajuku without Crepe is not Harajuku for me.

What am I grateful for this week?

Having myself grow in a few life aspects. I am moving slower than my peers if I am comparing, but at this point, growth is growth. I’ll take it.
