Beginning

I wish I could remember that first day — by Christina Rossetti

After reaching 30, it symbolises a kind of change, or transition, from our 20s; and indeed, since reaching 30, I’ve already been facing a number of unexpected changes from my family, daily life, as well as my work that took me to respond and react immediately and emotionally.

On an occasion of my 30, I started to immerse in British English because of the ways it pronounces. BBC podcasts, Michael Mcintyre’s comedy, English with Lucy, House of Commons’ debates, and many more that can’t quite keep myself from falling in British English.

On the other hand, I’ve had another chance of studying in the UK 🇬🇧 for which I had given up many years ago. When I was still considering somewhat like to go ahead or not to go, I was told that “I wouldn’t know if I haven’t tried and I still have the ability to re-start everything from zero”. And yes, you’re right.

“I wish I could remember that first day” was the first English poem that I’ve ever read. Generally, I’d like to use this platform to share the roads to study in the UK, to record and share some of the little moments in my life, and to practise written English, such that when I flash back my 30s in future, I could remember that first day.
