2025's A BANGER!!!

Gruezi everyone! Happy 2026! How's the new year treating you all so far? Hoping that everything is going smoothly for everyone!

A whole new year again huh? Goddamn itttt. I keep on saying the same thing all over again in my previous posts but f**k it, imma say it once more. WHY ON EARTH IS TIME TICKING SO FAST?!?! 2025 passed by in just a blink of an eye & guess what? I'm missing the year so much at the moment I wish I have time stone right now cause 2025 is a year that I'd like to relive. A banger it was!

Why?

2025 was all about expanding & exploring for me personally. New people & new places. The world is a huge place & there are lots of people in it. Go, widen your circle & travel. I promise you'll know the world & yourself way much better. There are lots of questions to be answered about the planet/in general, life itself  & reading or doing researchers alone are not enough. You have to get to know & experience them on your own.

New friends.

I'd like to express my utmost gratitude to all the new friends that became an essential part of my life in 2025. You guys came into my life unexpectedly & you all became one of the main reasons why my 2025 is a year to remember. From moreh sessions, to pickleball & all the wild nights we had, I cherish every moment being around you guys. Never a dull moment when we're together. Not to forget, obviously the long-lasting buddies too, especially my two brothers. You both know who you are. So, when is our next hike bois? Nonetheless, persidangan tiga penjuru kita harus diteruskan. 

New places.

2025 was also all about exploring new places. I travelled to 7 countries throughout the whole year. It's crazyyyy. Each one of them served a purpose on developing my life as a whole. Lots of whys were answered & I'm thankful for that. No worries, of course a blog specially dedicated for those trips is coming soon. You all know me well right? As of now, gimme some time to fully recover from the post-travel depression. I promise the next post is gonna be special.

What was gained?

Again, life generally teaches everyone including me to step out of our comfort zone & keep on searching. Everyday is a new day. Everything new will transpire in our lives. New people, new problems, new questions, new solutions, new ideas, new places, new experiences & most importantly, new lessons. If you think that you're facing the same old shit every time or every year, find yourself a new way to solve them. How? Keep on asking, keep on finding & keep on trying. Just don't give up. The world is evolving & so do we.

To close the curtain, once more, I'd like to thank everyone including my family & my friends for making my 2025 a banger. From January up till December, the whole year was wonderful because of each & every one of you. Much love for you all. 2025 is definitely up there as one of the BEST years of my life.

Remember, follow the flow & just let it happen.

Takecare & Happy New Year! - A.

Travel Recap: S2025

Hello everyone! What's up? I hope it's not too late for me to wish you all a happy new year! Here's to wishing that 2026 will serve us with more good surprises & rain us with glorious achievements ahead. Cheers! 🍻 For today's post, looking at the title, I'd like to gladly share my travel experience throughout the whole 2025. Before we start, I'd like to inform you all that for this travel journal specifically, it's gonna be a little different from the previous ones as the prior travel writings were focused more on what I did (itinerary) for the whole of the trips. So for this journal, I'd like to emphasize more on what I've gained & learned also how each country has opened my eyes to perceive the world & life in general. Without further ado, let's buckle up cause we have 7 flights to catch! HAT YAI, THAILAND. I kicked off my expedition with going for a vacation to my favourite country (still) aka my second home, Thailand back in Janu...

A Month Since Turkiye

Image
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...

A Letter to My Future Self...

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...
