An Adventurous Misadventure

Hi Iqmal,  How are you? Just you know that this letter right here is written I don't know, maybe 10-15 years since the day you're reading it right now. 2025 to be specific. Damn, time flies yeah? Been feeling the same thing here as well like what the hell? I remember writing & publishing almost every year & suddenly the realization of wanting to write a letter for you, who's very very far away came through because I believe this is the best time cause who knows I might not even have the time to even turn on my computer later. So yeah, better late than never they say... The thing about me writing a letter for someone who lives in the future is that, I don't have the faintest idea on what's happening there right now. Thus, I'd like you to get to grips with & acknowledge this letter as a form of hope & prayers yeah? The sole purpose of me writing this old letter is I really hope that everything is good for you at the moment. I wish that you're l...

Olla mi amigos! We're back on another episode of Arif's Adventurous Misadventures! If you all recall, my previous post was about me concluding the second half of my 2024. Those 6 months were insanely fun and if you were to ask me what was the biggest highlight from those 6 months, I'd obviously pick the trip to The land of Turks or we all know it as Turkiye. In the previous post I did mention I was going to write a post specially for the trip. So, buckle up and PLEASE, listen to the cabin crew's announcement because we're about to fly to Turkiye! ✈ Day 1: Istanbul Aku Datang! To start off, for your information, before flying to Turkiye, we had a one night layover at Oman. The flight from Muscat to Istanbul took us around 5 hours & y'all must be guessing, "What did you do to keep yourself occupied during those 5 long hours?" Lol, tidur la apa lagi hahaha. Okay for real, other than dozing  off, I watched Dune Part Two. Yeah I know, a goated movie ind...

HELLO EVERYONE! How is it going for you all? Wishing you all are in a good & healthy condition since we're in a new year already. Welcome 2025! Yup, after quite awhile, I'm here once again to update what life was like for the past 6 months. If you read my previous post, you all know I had a very downhearted first half  of the year. Everything was depressing. The thoughts of "2024 is shit" & "this is by far the worst year ever" were lingering on my mind. The first 6 months of the year was very hard. It was too much. Nonetheless, I recalled telling myself somewhere by end of June last year saying "Enough, the past 6 months were miserable. I need to get myself together & let's turn the table around! Let's restart & make every moment count!" Praise the lord, alhamdulillah. Everyone, the second half of 2024 is by far the best 6 months I've ever experienced in my entire 25 years of life.  Why? How or where do I even start? Fr...
