goodbye 2024, hello 2025

Goodbye 2024.. Counting down for the last one hour.

It's like a common ritual, that by end of the year, all should look back and summarize what had happened, be it good or bad. Then what to look for in the brand new year.

But I think I've stop doing so for the last few years. So, am I starting it back again? Nay, of course I'm not.

Looking back at this year.. Opps, ain't that duplicity. Anyway, let's just do what the Romans do. 

Looking back at this year, days do pass by fast as if they are flying, yet they don't pass by easily. It's a year of new learning, new adaption to new schedule and dealing with new people.

I'm hoping that the coming new year, my pace will slow down, and let me digest on how to plan for my retirement. All the hypes are moving my attention away from the ultimate retirement plan. I'm still looking for my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

May the brand new 2025, brings better days.

Welcome 2025!

writing

I love writing, I do, though I rarely do now.

I tend to think that writing is an art. Which is why I love reading, too. Especially, of skillful writers, as they can transport you into a whole different world, by just using words. Don't underestimate the shows and movies you are watching, as it's written by the scriptwriter, too!

Writing not only can convey messages, if beautifully written, it can also pass down emotions, too. Words are powerful, so long they are used in the right way.

7 years down the road, another 7 to go

So fast, yet not really so fast, 7 years have gone by. How did we make it so far? How did we manage to progress until now? I guess, that's what we call, the power of time. 

Did we plan for it? Did we manage it well? I guess, that will always be part of life cycle.

Let's just celebrate for now, as there will be another 7 years to come.
