It’s my first day of work in 2025 and I am starting the work day right by waking up earlier than usual, reaching office earlier than usual and wearing brand new clothes (new top and jeans which I got from my US trip). Not to forget my new shoes from Sunny Steps and with my new perfume from Chanel (Les Exclusifs de Chanel Comete). Hehe. May this year be a great year and I hope I can get promoted this year. Fingers crossed!
Happy New Year! I have blogged 106 posts in 2024. 🙂 That’s like an average of around 8 posts per month. 😮 Wow! That’s such a big jump from all the previous years…
I have reviewed the New Year resolutions I set for myself in 2024.
- Put myself first – my physical, mental and financial health are more important than everything else.
I definitely achieved this for physical and mental. Financially – I spent way too much this year. Glowing up is really expensive. Lol.
- Have more confidence in myself when it comes to trusting my gut and my ability in managing my financial health.
I definitely have improved in this. 🙂 I shall continue to keep up to this progress I am making.
- Don’t be too hard on myself this year – this is especially important when I have to do major packing and unpacking at the end of the year. I’m dreading it now as I am trying my best to declutter as much as I can… I need to remind myself that very little progress I made is still a progress!
Well, the move got delayed so I guess I still need to keep this goal this year.
It’s 2025 and I am still based in Singapore. Lol.
Anyway, for 2025, my new year resolutions are as follows.
- Learn to prioritise yourself consistently – physically, mentally and financially. Time to practise intentional spending of time, effort and money. Especially money. Lol.
- Appreciate what I already have and enjoy my acquisitions as much as I can instead of adding more. Basically less shopping because I did buy a lot of new and beautiful stuff in the last 2 years. 😀
- Be kinder to yourself. Don’t be too hard on myself this year. This year is a year of transformation and changes. No idea what kind of challenges I will be facing but it should be quite mentally draining for me.
- Learn to let go relationships whereby the efforts is only one-sided. Enough of holding onto friendships when the other party is not putting any level of effort. I already have a few friends who are under this category. I am been practising patience for some friends for many years but I think it’s time to let go.
Let’s see what I can achieve in this year. 🙂

I have to say the highlight of this Hong Kong trip is the food. Not sure if it is a sightseeing trip or a food trip hahaha.
We went to Jenny’s Bakery because Lay Lian and Xiao Wei both want to get snacks back to Singapore. Jenny’s Bakery is located in a very ulu place and I spotted some interesting sights along the way too.

We managed to drop by to Hong Kong University as well. 😀 I always like to visit universities in the new country because of its architecture.
Very glad that Lay Lian and Xiao Wei agreed to spend a few hours here even though they are not that into universities. 🙂
I really like the contrast of this photo and the framing too.

I wouldn’t recommend staying at our hotel because we spotted a living cockroach running around the room on the day of checkout. Nevertheless, it offered really good views of the city…
Will I go back there again? Definitely no. Do I like staying in Mongkok area? Yes but I will most likely try to stay in other areas as well next time I go to Hong Kong…
