Writing Again

 Hello friends,

It has been a long time since I wrote here. Work and daily life made me stop for a while. But now I feel like I want to write again.

I work in water projects. Most of my days are about numbers, reports, and budgets. But behind that, there are many small stories. Sometimes the work is hard, sometimes it feels not fair, and sometimes I learn something new.

Writing helps me clear my mind. It is not about big ideas. It is about sharing simple thoughts and experience. Maybe my words can help someone, or maybe they just show a real picture of my life.

This post is my first step. I do not know how often I will write. But I want to try, slowly, one topic at a time.

Thank you for reading. I hope we can grow together through these words.

Best,
Shaqin

But then she mentioned she’d be going with her boyfriend. That made me hesitate. I’d be going alone, and I didn’t want to intrude on their time together, haha. She added that a few others would be joining too—her boyfriend’s friend, the friend’s wife, and the friend’s mother. So, there would be five people in total. That made me pause again. I didn’t know any of them, and I was worried I’d be disrupting their plans. But my colleague had already asked her boyfriend if it was okay for me to come along, and he...

About Me

Hi, I’m Shaqin. I enjoy quiet things—like taking photos, writing, and making small handmade crafts.  I also work with maps, water modeling, and field surveys. My job is technical, but I like to make it clear and kind for others. I believe in fair work, slow creativity, and learning step by step. This blog is my calm space to share stories, small moments, and things I make with care.  Sometimes it’s a donut. Sometimes it’s a diagram. Sometimes it’s just a quiet thought from the day. my painting :P
