2023. All in All.

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone! Yeah, ikr? Just like that, it's already a whole new year! Your age is getting older. Your grey hairs are growing. Your energy is decreasing. You get exhausted/sick easily & the list goes on. Yup, I know, it's scary innit? But that's what life is & you can't stop. "Just chill on the float & Let the waves flow you till the end of the river."

So, how was 2023?

For me, 2023 is gonna be an evergreen year in maybe 10-15 years coming. It's noteworthy. 2022 was already good but praise the Lord, the following year got better. There were so many things to be blissful about & grateful for. I'd also say 2023 was an elucidating year, a year which defines "thriving".

Started the year with my cousin celebrating the NYE at the Putra Height Hill. It was a good one. For you readers out there, I have like this one routine I do one hour before a new year kicks off & that is finding a place outside which I can just enjoy the views & do a recap session about the whole damn year. At least it keeps me occupied while waiting for the fireworks right?

Then, yup, I started working. Oof, I think imma write another post specially for my work life cs there's just too many to talk about when it comes to work. But yeah, to those who were always there listening to how challenging, stirring & annoying my work life is, I'd like to say thank you. I appreciate your time, ears & opinions.

What else? Oh yeah, how can I forget? I watched Blackpink & CAS live! To those who know me well, y'all know how massive of a BLINK I am. Yup I even wrote a post specially dedicated to the Bornpink Concert. And yeah, CAS man. How would I describe watching them live? It was a soothing & a spiritual experience indeed. NGL, concert is a place where  you can escape from reality & feel Euphoric in your own Utopia. Just my thoughts tho.

Next? Obviously travelling to Bali & Bangkok. Friends, I'd like to give an advice. Please save your money & go, explore the world. Wherever it is, just go. Never ever feel guilty of spending some money on travelling cs i swear to God, out of all the exhilarating things you can do in this world, travelling is the best thing to do, especially when you travel with your best buddies. You can traverse, inspect & learn together. For me, the trips to Bali & Bangkok were sumptuous cs I travelled to those places only with my cousin. It was AN EXPERIENCE. Swam with dolphins, went to the biggest & the best beach clubs in the world, strolled around Bangkok at 2 in the morning & even celebrated 2024's NYE there. Those moments will be remembered for the rest of my life man.

Finally, somehow, 2023 was also a dejected year. October & November were the hardest tbh. Those two months made me realize that no matter how good the year is progressing, there are gonna be times where you feel like you wanna give up. I had some trouble on making decisions, predicaments at finding who myself is & had a demanding time to accept that everything is gonna be different after this. It's devastating but yeah at the end of the day, it is what it is. I thank everyone who came, who left/I left, who still keeps me as a part of his/her life, also to anyone who wants me to be a memory. I appreciate you all, be it whether the moments we had were beautiful or the other way around cs I learned a lot from what we had. Again, thank you so much.

All in all, it was a fantastic year. I can boldly claim that 2023 is by far for me, the best year EVER. The secret to why it is the best one? Hadap & layan jerrr...

Stay safe & be healthy - A.
