Time really flies so fast.


In the blink of an eye, half of March has already passed.
Currently studying English at a language institution in Kuala Lumpur,
taking the course "English File" Intermediate Plus (B1 to B1+).
With this level of course hours,
there's only about a month and a half left.
Recently I've become increasingly aware
that my self-study ability is actually quite average.
This is already the fifth consecutive year I've solemnly written down "I need to learn English well,"
the fifth consecutive year I've listed "achieve at least 5.5–6 on IELTS by next year" as an annual goal.
The most recent English-related exam I took
was the English Level 4 exam in 2022,
and I just barely passed it.
My English foundation is just as terrible as my social skills.
Looking back,
I truly started pushing myself to learn English
in the second half of last year:
from Thailand to Nepal, then winding my way to Malaysia,
searching the whole way for an English learning environment truly suited to me.
After Memecore,
I had the confidence to push myself😂.
But the most critical problem now is:
I haven't even started properly memorizing vocabulary,
and I haven't properly gone through any of those basic grammar courses saved in my bookmarks.
After completing the current B1+ level course,
my plan for the rest of this year is roughly:
·IELTS course
·"English File" Upper Intermediate (B2) course
After finishing this Kuala Lumpur phase,
I plan to send myself to a Sparta-style or semi-Sparta-style intensive language school in the Philippines, the kind with unified park management and an all-day English language environment.

In 2026, I want to push myself hard.
In 2026, I want to go against myself.

This year is mainly about losing weight + studying,
and I've already lost quite a bit of weight,
so now it's just English left.
On January 11, 2026, I bought weight loss medication at a clinic in Japan.
On March 14, 2026, after more than two months, I've lost quite a lot of weight.
