I had first come to have a personal diary when I was 10. Four years after I had actually first wrote it in Chinese (though it was not for long before I switched to English), I received this as a birthday present from my parents. Few years after this I would switch to blogging, but this personal diary has contain what I once wrote as how I saw the world and my life as a 14-year-old. Even if it eventually ran out of pages and I would come to use a different one, it is still a birthday present worth treasuring.
