Reflection of 2025

Another year has passed and still, I’m the same yesterday and today. Hopefully not forever.

This year has its ups and downs. The first quarter was literally just moving from one place to the other. From shared house to another shared house filled with mosquito and difficult landlord to a comfortable one bedroom apartment.

I believe God put me in so much moving was to meet with Sarah and teach me to be much more independent?

I had a goal this year. It was to start up Kindermusik. I was so passionate that I can do it and I shouldn’t give up. But after starting it for the past 3 months, I’m seriously exhausted not just physically but mentally too. It’s not just about teaching and earning money but it also involve having relationship with parents and advertising the program. There’s just so many things to juggle and it’s so overwhelming. I’m praying that God will give me an answer if this is what He actually wants me to do.

Working in Shrewsbury for the fourth year now. Just too many drama going on that I have to be the one to start the flame burning in order to kick HR out of the company. And I’m glad that I made that happen.

This year has been lots of traveling as I’ve earned more and managed to take more vacations. Went to Korea with family, Kj and his friend. Took the opportunity to travel solo to China which was very brave of me and met up with Jasmine. And visited Singapore and Indonesia to get to know Hannah. Lastly, to travel to Japan again as a closing for the year.

I leave this year with a heavy heart that I’ve lost my mentor this year. With his departure, it made me think that life is unpredictable. So cherish each moment you have with the people around you. I sometimes regret not keeping in touch with him at all this year after he said something that isn’t nice to me. I shouldn’t be so petty but be matured in my attitude and character.

Next year 2026, I’m hoping and praying that things will go according to His ways. I’m still waiting to meet up with someone that He has for me. I’m not giving up my faith and trusting that He will provide for me.

I’m praying that there will be a breakthrough in my career. To gain my QTS and go further in my learning.

Dear Lord Jesus,

Thank you for this year you have given to me. Although it has been a rough year and not seeing much progress in my life, I want to give thanks and praise to You. I commit 2026 into your hands. That You will lead me the way you want me to go and teach me how to live a life that is Christ centered. I commit my love life into Your hands that You will help me to meet with people that is after Your heart. Many times I wanna give up but I still have faith in You. I want to also pray for protection over my family and friends next year that you keep them healthy and safe, that they will show love and care expressively to me. May You go before me in 2026!

Amen!

And this became the verse of the day.

Thank You for the reminder, Lord.

Till next time

When I was in Phu Quoc, having dinner with Chui Hoon's family, I received a call from Moy asking me if I have been in contact with Samuel Tan.

I have not been in contact with Samuel since we met last year in September 2024. After he was nasty to me about tell me about my ex, I felt like there's nothing much to talk to him about. I was hurt.

I didn't even wished in Happy Birthday this year when I've been doing it every year. It cross my head but I just didn't do it.

When I was travelling back to Phnom Penh from Phu Quoc, I receive a text from Moy stating that Samuel has passed away.

I just couldn't process what Moy just told me. I thought it was a mistake or I was dreaming. I feel so sad that I don't really know what to say.

I just lost a friend.

He's not just a friend.

He used to be my mentor.

My cg leader.

My supper buddie.

And sad to say, someone that I had a crush on.

With his departure made me think that we should appreciate one another more everyday and build friendship whether it's near or far. It made me think that I shouldn't be too sensitive when someone mention my past. It made me think that I should spend more time with my love ones as life is short and unfair.

Not that I'm angry with God for taking my friend away. But it was the devil who steal, kill and destroy. We need to keep holding on to His promise that His plans for us as plans that is the best for us. Not to harm us but to plans for the future.

Sammy,

You're an amazing friend for the past 20 years. I look forward to going out with you every Wednesday with Paul, Moy and yourself. I enjoy it even more when I'm only with you. I feel like I could open up and talk to you and being transparent. Thank you for taking care of me like a little sister. Sorry for being an ignorant friend at times when I don't know how to respond to you when you were having a relationship with Su Lin. I wished I have greeted you your last birthday but I didn't. Life is so unpredicted and I believe you have lived to the fullest. I hope you will take good care of your parents from where you are and keep them safe and well at all time. Take care, buddy.

Goodbye friend. See you on the other side.

Here's to Busan Trip 2025!

Japan is a great place to visit!

Thank you for all the memories!

[apinchofrkmh]

They say, you're get poorer when you visit Japan. Couldn't agree more!

[apinchofrkmh]

We realize we were eating instant noodle towards the end of the trip. Before we haven't even started the trip, we were talking about this template and how broke we might become. And it came into reality!

The most expensive food, 3,000yen!

Summer Break 2024

Part 2

It's been the longest summer break of my entire working career!

8 weeks yo!

With all the travelling in Seoul and Singapore, I do spend time in Malaysia with family and friends!

Brought aunties to Wonder Farm Mushroom with the request from mom for me to drive.

Then we went to Taiping to have cendol

And drove back to Penang to pick dad up to have dinner at 5 Star

Pretty tiring day but it was great!

Was surprise to find Eunice in Penang and so we caught up for some coffee. Rachel Auber found a hidden gem in Penang and shared it with me, asking me to pay a visit and I did.

It's just a tiny little house that can only take 2 tables and a counter for them to prepare their food and drink. So we all had to sit outside.

And when night came, the scenery was pretty!

Was the place worth going? Nah.. The choices of drink is so limited that I ask myself why am I here? They only open at 6pm and closed at midnight and they only serve kambucha and coffee. Wish they will expend further and change their opening hours at least.

After coming back from Seoul, I wanted to eat crab just to try out the new pair of scissors I bought from Korea. Hehe.. So I made auntie cook.
