In January, I opened the new year with my family, who visited Singapore. We had the BEST chilli pork in town for lunch, which I ate many more times throughout the year.
I made a resolution to wear more lipstick since I enjoy buying it, providing an excellent excuse to purchase more. I think I accomplished it; this year, I coloured my lips more often than any other year.
I distributed Christmas presents to my colleagues in the middle of January. I couldn’t make it last year because it was such a hectic end of the year (read the first paragraph). I hope it’s the thought that counts. Anyway, just to note, I love receiving Christmas presents any time of the year.
This month, I had my first gig as a travel writer; I wrote a review about Bunc Hostel. I didn’t continue on that path this year, even though I had some offers because I was working full-time. Now that I’m not, I have decided to be more flexible. Let’s see what the next year is going to bring.
I went to Korea with my besties. This was our big trip together this year, and I was so happy! Happy to leave my office work for three weeks, happy to visit Korea, and happy to spend some quality time with my favourite people in the world. I, of course, love everything Korean: the food, the style, and the vibes. Thankfully, K-Drama, K-Pop, and K-Guys didn’t stick with me. Looking back, one of my favourite memories in Korea was going to the naked spa with Vi, and my favourite meal was the black pig on Jeju Island.
I also got a double happiness charm from Fafa, which he gave me on the day he sent me off to the East. It remains my favourite charm until now.
Lastly, in January, I experienced my first snowfall in Korea. It was whoa! I made a video of the whole thing with Yin.
