My Castle Crumble Overnight

 In a blink of an eye, another year has passed

This truly is a year unlike any other

It's a year that makes us truly reflect what matters the most to us

It makes us think again what truly is important and needs to be cherished

To be honest, 2020 hasn't changed me much. I was evolving into a recluse anyways

2020 derailed my plans on going on a working holiday in NZ in Jan 2021.

I always had this thought that no matter how bad the day was, I just need to hang on until Jan 2021 when I can finally escape and explore NZ.

I've always wanted to backpack around a country on my own for a long time. Back when I just graduated, I worked part time in hopes to save enough money to backpack the entire SEA starting from Ho Chi Minh City.

While working part time, I did apply for some random jobs here and there as an engineer. In one of the interviews, the hiring manager gave me a reality slap. He asked why am I wasting my time on a part time job when I should be serious about building my career. 

Well I was young, dumb and definitely broke, that interview scared me into finding a full time job as an engineer and forgo my backpacking plans.

After getting my first job, that is when my morphing into a social recluse starts.

Looking back into my AIESEC years, I can't imagine how I was able to be so youthful and full of hope.

But hey, not everything is loom and gloom.

Stepping into adulthood made me learn sometimes not everything will turn out the way you wanted.

2020 is definitely a year of that.

So here I am, spending the last few hours of 2020 at home writing this

Don't get me wrong

I am not sad

I am grateful to be where I am today

I've gotten through most of 2020 still having a job

Still having the people most important to be around

I am content

My dreams and plans may got derailed but all it takes is just a little more planning to re-align everything back again.

Here's to a better year ahead

I wish you all to be thankful and remain hopeful

Better days are coming

Just go Genting and strike gold

Stay home

Stay safe

Spread hope

Not hate

I'm always thankful to have 2 sisters who constantly share otter and dog videos on Instagram
