This is a Korean cutlery gift set meant for couples. I donโt get to touch it often, as it was my parents who received it as a gift.

After all the shopping and fulfilling the reason I came to another city โ to take the entrance exam โ I'm now back at the hotel, drinking green tea to digest all the heavy food that's hard to avoid while traveling. I'm also writing a few things in my pocket diary. After this, I'll study a bit, maybe some English grammar and vocabulary. I have one more test tomorrow.
This turns out to be a Hakata doll, not a Kokeshi. Thank you @kojiiwata for letting me know!!
More info about these dolls that I looked up on the internet;
A Hakata doll is a traditional Japanese clay doll that originated in Fukuoka (formerly known as Hakata), on the island of Kyushu. These dolls are typically hand-crafted and painted, known for their realistic details, soft colors, and serene expressions.
This is the modern version of a kokeshi (ใใใ) doll. Though they are usually made of wood, the ones used as decorations or souvenirs are often made of clay, ceramic, or other materials.
I left home around 7:30 in the morning and went to Agra to take an exam. B-school entrance exams are held only in a few cities. I came back home around 9:30 PM. I think we should have left a bit later because it wasnโt that far away. I also saw the Agra Fort, but only from the outside because it was extremely hot, and besides, visiting the fort properly takes an entire day. The exam didnโt go as well as I had expected. The Quant section was pretty hard.
Guys, good news! I got an acceptance letter from a university! I'm so happy. It may not be the best one, but I'm proud that I cleared their entrance exam. I still have many exams ahead of me, and if I qualify those, I could get into a better university or B-school.
I messed up really badly. I'm scoring so low on my entrance examโthough the results aren't out yet, I'm sure I won't get into any B-school with these marks. At this rate, all I can hope for is to get into some university. I'm afraid I've ruined my life.
โI enjoy doing many things, though unfortunately, I'm not particularly good at any of them.โ ~ proudly, me.
