2025.

2025 was definitely not my favorite year.

Mainly cause Granps passed away but I guess he did live a good life and his quality of life has been deteriorating for awhile now so perhaps its for the best.

Relationships

At the start of 2025 I ended things with Mr Q before I left for my solo trip. The sparks fizzled I suppose? Things just didn’t feel right but I didn’t have the courage to end things so I dragged it out for a bit. Classic me move.

Anyway, I did bring Mum to overseas this year so that’s great I hit my quota HAHA

Will to live

Went on a solo trip for the very first time and I survived!! Ngl Turkeye is pretty safe imo but I was still anxious initially but everything worked out in the end. Travelling alone is actually pretty relaxing since you get to decide whatever you wanna do at any time of the day. Need a nap? Sure. Hungry? Just grab lunch at the restaurant at the rooftop. I enjoyed it actually. Best part was that I didn’t really break the bank since things at Turkeye and Budapest were relatively affordable. I have this personal target of going to Europe once a year so next year I will go to Spain and Portugal with Mr N! He has been bugging me to upgrade to business class but I don’t know maybe I might? We shall see!! This year I went to Korea, Turkey/Buda, Chongqing and Ho Chi Minh LOL Chongqing was pretty fun NGL and Ho Chi Minh with WR was even better!! I mean the weather in CQ was amazing but HCM had more things for me to shop hehe Actually I didn’t expect the trip to happen with WR but after 8 years it acvtually happened?? HAHAHA I think she suddenly turned spontaneous for some reason which was refreshing for sure. We drank so much during the trip though SO AWESOME.

Career

Things were pretty smooth sailing this year even though I got transferred from domestic to regional department at the start of the year. I feel a little sad that I don’t get to work with David and the rest anymore but I guess we can always catch up over lunches. Nevertheless, corporate is rough though but I try to stay optimistic. Ngl I’m glad I have E around during work, she’s so chatty and there’s never a dull moment around her. I think she’s like an elder sister I can talk to at work which honestly more than I could ever ask for. I like how she finally started to invest and plan things for herself though, she’s a little derpy like C so maybe that’s why we click well :p My boss tried to gaslit me to work harder next year but sis is just here to get paid man but obviously I said sure I will. Am I too …real for my age? I suppose so. Well, it comes with experience from a young age(:

Conclusion

2025 was a bitter sweet year but I think death is part and parcel of life itself so I was bound to face it one day. Funny how I’m more upset that granps passed than my own father. Actually no it’s expected. Either way, life goes on and next year S will finally be out!! Honestly, time flies and I can’t wait to bring him around and help him out whenever I can. Perhaps a way of making up for lost time? I shall just count down to the days when we can fetch him home. 9 more visits and he’s gonna be home. I probably have to settle some of his enrolment stuff too. That’s pretty much 2025 for me, I hope yours went well!

Love,
