- Journey - 20th January 2022 -

 Greetings. I know it's been a while since I dropped by. 

Things had been very busy, with the pandemic and all.

I just finished my mid-term exam and thought this was just the right time to put up an update with life. 

Before all that, of course, here's one of my favourite songs (from a year ago. I have not been listening to many songs lately. But hey, that means I'm less glued to my headphones, which is always good. )

To Me - by Alina Baraz

I'm in the midst of doing my year 3 in the UK. 

Surprise! It's my 5th month here. 

I've never thought I would be here. But here I am. 

It's pretty different from what I've expected, less exciting. 

But who am I to say this?

I'm still that same old me that's not really enthusiastic about a lot of stuff.

So for me to have a reaction like this is really within my expectation. 

Don't get me wrong though, 

I'm very grateful that I have the chance to be here. 

To experience life in a different country and to be immersed in a completely different set of cultures. 

Maybe it's just me being me, 

or I just happened to have passed the age of being excited about things. 

I think I did pretty well in my exam (or at least I hope I did). 

My second semester starts next week and I'm definitely looking forward to it. 

I'm expecting to graduate this July and I do look forward to graduating (not much about the graduation ceremony though).

2020-2022 timeline & simple update

2020: I've interned in a law firm surrounded by two very kind seniors. 

2021: I've worked as an assistant to a company secretary in an accounting firm. 

2022: Study abroad in the UK.

I think that's about all I could write for now. 

Although I do experience anxiety once in a while, 

but I do feel better mentally. 

As mentioned earlier in my old posts,

I guess my talent and creativity for writing only comes to me in the worst of times. 

Now that everything is smooth sailing for me, 

it seems that I couldn't write much. 

How ironic it is that I could only write down what hurts me and not what delights me.

I guess it is how it is. 

And it might just be an indication that the best memories should just stay in my mind and in my heart, 

that I should appreciate things as they are. 

Reading back all the old blog posts, 

I feel glad that I chose to write down everything I felt back then. 

Some does sound awkward, 

but I'll never be ashamed of the feelings that I once had. 

Till next time.
