‡ 2023 so far ‡

My first post of 2023!

I swear I miss writing yet I keep finding myself making up reasons not to write.
Well, I'll have two posts this month: one for a quick update of my 2023 so far -- because the details will be unveiled by the end of the year, as always. Another one is for a short story inspired by one of my favorite songs.

This one will be the quick update, as stated in the title.

2023 days seriously went through so quickly -- not as quick as the pandemic though.

I visited Cilegon, Bandung, Purwakarta, and Tangerang a lot this year; mostly due to work.
I completed a project which lasted almost a year.
I met a lot of new people and built new relationships.
I made my new passport; the last one has expired.
I went to new places, including the Hong Kong trip I had with my Mom two weeks ago.
I learned the hard way about having expectations, disappointment, and what's best for us does not always mean the best for others.


Me at HK MTR Station on last day!



I'm still in disbelief that 2023 will come to an end in less than 80 days actually.
Moving forward, I will have another trip to Bali next week! (half-trip for self, half-trip for office event)
There is another trip for Christmas and that means...

I need to increase my savings! *sheepish smile*

I have no idea what 2023 still keep in store for me,
but, oh well, let's just face it!

Until next post!
I'll write a short story based on a song (again) in the next one! ;)
