Life Update: First Trip to China, Work Stress & New Beginnings

Hey, sorry it’s been a while. I’m finally back with a little life update.

I’m going to China for the very first time — and it’s also my first trip after London. I’m so excited. I know before this I was planning a trip to Vietnam with my friends, but we cancelled it. Then suddenly I started thinking about China because the flight tickets were really cheap last month. It was such a last-minute decision (as usual 😂). I always book at the last minute, but at least it’s before the promotion ends, right?

I still haven’t booked my hotel yet. See how slowly I plan my trips? I just want to take everything easy. And honestly, I think that’s okay. Everything happens at the right time — even when I plan things last minute. I don’t want to pressure myself anymore.

Oh! Last Christmas

During Christmas, I took some time to visit my favourite stationery shop again to collect the free stamp. It was so much fun. I went there early, but there were already so many people. I just walked around and checked out the new arrivals — everything there feels so comfy and lovely.

I missed the cute cat though. Sometimes he’s just not around, which is such a shame. I still remember how much my friend loved that cat.

During The CNY Holiday

For CNY, I didn’t go anywhere. I just stayed home, watched a few CNY movies, and treated myself to some nice food. And honestly? Maybe that was a good thing.
Work has been really stressful lately. I keep thinking about resigning — it’s always on my mind. I really need help with this feeling. But then my boss increased my salary and gave me a bonus… and yet, I still don’t feel like I want to stay.
Oh, and I went to the temple to pray for my future and draw a fortune stick. Guess what? I got the same fortune at two different temples. It was unbelievable. I was so shocked I almost shouted out loud. Anyway, I guess all I need is trust. Things will get better. They always do.

Lately: Dreams & Nightmares

I’ve been having a lot of strange dreams lately. Some are nightmares, but most of them are just… weird. But strangely, they also feel happy.

In one dream, the sky looked like a Mario world and everyone was running around happily. In another, I saw my favourite person. They invited me to a party and we spent the whole night talking and laughing.

There was also a dream where I was travelling again, meeting people from all over the world — but the world felt different, almost like an AI version of the future. It was strange, but interesting. Honestly, they could all become stories if I ever decide to write them. Haha.

My First Trip to Guangzhou (Tomorrow!)

I’m so happy to be travelling again, even if it’s just a one-week holiday. I can’t believe I’m only writing this now — my flight is tomorrow! I’ll be going to Guangzhou. I’m excited, but also a little nervous since it’s been a while.

But no rush. Everything is meant to be.

I really hope I get to meet my friend in China — Mr. Lim, the one who always shares error fares with me. He’s from Guangzhou, so hopefully we can meet for a bit. I also have another sweet friend who’s currently in Beijing. We won’t be able to meet this time, but she’s still so excited for me. She’s been helping me so much, doing everything she can. (Sometimes I feel a bit silly or blur, but people are always so kind to me.)

While I’m writing this, she just texted me: “It’s tomorrow!” Haha. So cute. Done book everything and now just wait to visit it:)

So yeah so tuned for more post coming soon. Oh I also just clean my IG cause I been thinking maybe I should redo agains. Let see.
