The year is 2017 and I'm turning 25 in August. I've lived a quarter of my life guys! Assuming I live to a hundred.
Started reading the old blog again at work (Yes, I have a job now. All that adulting. Sigh.) and
I'm soooooooo glad I kept all the old posts!!! Apparently I started writing the blog in 2005 when I was the most kental Sec 1 student ever. That's 12 years ago! Oh, how time flies~
Old Haz, why were you so hung up on guys not noticing you? Glad that you've grown to realise that eye contact doesn't mean a guy likes you. Glad that you've grown to realise that you don't need a man to be happy. Glad that you've grown to be comfortable in your own skin. Love thy self. It's not wrong to wink at yourself in the mirror from time to time. It's not wrong to think you have the prettiest eyes ever. Because you do. Hehe.
You've got a family that loves you as much as you love them. Parents that are the living embodiment of #relationshipgoals and #otp. A younger brother who's finally a steward and because of that you get to buy stuff overseas for him to bring back. A sister who still spends time with you even though she has a boyfriend now. You've got friends who survived the test of time. Shoutout to: Jannah and Jeannie who I've known since we were secondary school geeks for 12 years, to Nadirah who I've known for 10 years since Sec 3 and I never expected we'd grow close in IJC, to Flux who was my sister's friend's first but she's like a second sister to me now. Funny how life turns out.
This sounds like self-praising but sometimes you need that.
Fast forward 3 years since that last post in 2014.
So what's going on with life now?
This was the first photo of me in 2017 hehe.
It's the second week of January and I've been working at Honeycombers as a full time videographer/graphic designer for 1 year and 5 months. Work has been okay I guess. I feel a bit lost as to what I'm going to do if I leave the company after 2 years. I'm unhappy about being paid peanuts but the job scope, lax rules(sauntering in 30 minutes late or taking a 'sick' mental health day without having to get an MC) and my lovely, clingy colleagues are things I really like about my job. I just hope things pick up and there'll be more opportunities to grow soon. And more travel videos please! So far, they've sent me to Macao and Bali. Both experiences I'll never forget. I don't mind being comfortable at this job but as long as there are opportunities to grow.
So work done, status time. I'm still single. Like since the day I was born I guess. You'd think I'd have almost relationships or gone on dates but nope. None of that. So yeah, no first kiss or date yet. Guess my luck in the love department is really bad. That or the luck is good and I just naturally avoid being in bad relationships. I'd take being single over bad men any day. Still, it would be nice to experience a good relationship at least once. I really think I'm destined to be the 35-year old who buys her own flat and fills it up with cute af stray cats. BUT my house will be super nice okay. Have you seen my Pinterest board? And the boxes under my bed filled with vintage plates and housewares for my future home? Can't wait for my own house. I guess living in a pretty flat with cats is the dream. I'd make my flat cat-friendly for sure.
My sister is in a long-term relationship with her soulmate and they're going to get married eventually. I used be so naive to think that the two of us would do everything together. Back when she was single and I spent most of my time with her. I thought we would both be single forever but we'd have each other. So naive haha. But I'm so happy for her and it makes me believe in love. Believe that it's possible to find my someone too.
So status time done. What's coming up this week? Kbbq night with my clingy colleagues. Design team and Zak. Haha. So excited to eat all that BEEFFFFF. YASSSSSSS~
'Til next time, you ol' blog! Whenever that is. Could be another 4 years later.
Byeeeeeeee!
