About this blog:

I started this blog to write about the moments I don’t want to forget. In my humble 40+ years of life, I had a lot of beautiful, meaningful, and inspiring moments. I also had some learning experiences. Most of them are not on my Facebook. If I die tomorrow, nobody knows how much I appreciate my life. So I just want to write them down as much as possible.

I’m trying to write a short memoir every second week. Let’s see how it turns out.
