Embrace Transition

It has been so long I didn’t update my blog. I was kind of lazy and on the same time, I do not know what I should write. But when it comes to September, where the weather is changing from hot summer to autumn, I love to chill outside a lot. One of my favourite month.

This year, we have been blessed with a chilling summer. It is between the temperature of 24 to 28 degree most of the time. That is the reason why I love Europe. The weather in Malaysia is constantly hot and humid. So when there are 4 seasons, I get to experience the outdoor chilling in spring, summer and autumn without sweating like a pig. Well, summer can be extremed sometimes, but from time to time, I still able to get some cool breeze.

When I get the chance like today’s weather, I love to sit outside reading a book with my dog laying beside me or working with my clay. It is the main reason weather like this is a perfect temperature for air dry clay. It is basically a very dry season, with lots of wind and heat from the sun. The clay will not dry too quickly which mean it will has less crack! On the same time, it is not humid, which mean the clay get to dry evenly.

Other than work and chilling, it is a time for me to embrace the transition. Because during the end of May till June, we had a long break back home to Malaysia and on the same time, we went to visit my sister in Sydney. Plus, during the visitation, we went to New Zealand cause, why not! It is only 3 hours away from Sydney. I love the holidays, but frankly speaking, I was really exhausted. The moment when I touched down back to Slovakia, I really felt the fatigued creeping around my body. But I was glad to be home.

During the Summer of August, we had some chilling time, going to concert and enjoying the barbeque outdoor. We even went to some aquapark to get ourselves wet cause some of the days were really hot.

Then comes end of August and beginning of September. My favourite time of the year. First of all, the school will start at the first week of September, which mean I have more time to myself. Then, my part time work as a English teacher only begins in the end of September. This is the time where I embraced my transition. From “nothing to do” to “lots of things to do” situation. These are the time where I have lots of ideas and fuel with eagerness to try it out. And by the way, my son is going to primary school this year! It will be his first year to experience the school life. I hope he is going to love it, because I love to go to school when I was in my primary year. But later in the secondary, I had tough time with school and making friends. Anyway, I hope his transition will be better than mine.
