Starting the year off strong with all the wedding preps, taking trips to little india umpteenth times and being always on the go. I totally underestimated the work that goes behind a 'simple wedding' but I honestly wouldn't want it the other way. I would do anything for my sister in a heartbeat. February was honestly so emotional because in the beginning it was all so hectic that I hadn't had the chance to fully take in but when I did, it was waves of emotions. I’ve seen my sister taking many roles in life but to see her as a bride was something else. May happiness always surround the both of you always and forever ❤✨
I got confirmed at this point and after a few months I got assigned to a position I least expected but I suppose it is for the better because it honestly pushed me through my limits (in a healthy way) and gave myself a chance to prove that I was actually capable of pulling things off.
Mid march Harpreet, my 1st semester back in degree roommate, got married. I clearly remember bawling my eyes out while typing my speech at gurdwara minutes before she made her bridal walk.

Dear harpreet, we’ve spoken a lot about this day and to see all of it becoming a reality makes my heart so happy. Seeing your friend getting married is an indescribable joy. I love you so much jaanu and I wish only the best for you in this journey 🤍
Beginning of April I took another trip and this time around it was to penang for another wedding. I was in penang for less than 24 hours but i’m glad that I made the trip cause I got to meet my girls after a really long time 🥰
Went on a zoo trip with my sister in June which was all fun but they could really do something about the stench. Later that week, I went to adithya’s concert and poonisha got me tickets for the meet and greet session. I had the chance to have a conversation and even take pics with him okayyy 😭 End of June came pradeep’s concert. This was really different for me cause it’s more of like a laid back and chill concert which was really good overall!
It was only until mid year that the academic pressure really got onto me and to juggle it with work was tough. I would rush for tuition lessons and rush back home for group discussions with my teammates and I vividly remember dozing off on my bed while the discussion was actually going on 😮💨. When I think back I honestly have no idea how I made it happen but I guess you gotta do what you got to do. Attended another wedding in Teluk Intan mid July, though it was a short trip, I had a really nice time. Forever grateful for people and families who takes me as their own 🫶
I lost my cousin mid august and I never once thought that her time would be so short nor that I ever imagined that I would see her like that. Wherever you are, I hope you're at peace. To think of the reunion up there is my only source of comfort during times like this. It's kinda hard having to deal with death every year that my only wish for 2025 is for no more deaths.
Turned 25 towards the end of october and this birthday felt different. For the first time in many years I felt like actually celebrating it. It could mainly be because of the fact that it fell a day after deepavali. Had a few rounds of cake cutting (which has never happened before). Props to my circle,my people. I have to give it to’em 💗
Thank you for celebrating me when I don't feel like doing it myself. Thank you for loving me on my bad days, for teaching me healthy love exists & for treating me better than I treated myself 😌 I also donated my hair for the second time, I did it back for my 21st birthday but honestly this time around it was an impulse decision but it's all good. For some reason i feel like my hair has gone way shorter than when it did 4 years ago but that’s fine, it will grow no 🥲
November and december were just hectic, really and truly. End of the academic year, wrapping up my post graduate studies and trying to keep my social life active is no joke. Attended yet another wedding in seremban, this one was really fun cause i got to go on a long drive and get to meet my girls another round. But the icing on the cake would truly be attending arijit singh’s concert 😩. I would easily give this moment a top 3 out of all the occurrences that took place in 2024. It was really the concert of my dreams, I had a great time. What made this one really special was this was my first concert that I went alone. I don't want to sound corny but to listen to the songs that you were obsessing over since you were a teen is overwhelming, really. Truly the concert of my dream 💫
Went to Cameron’s again but this time around it was a company trip and to wrap it all up I took a 1 week trip to Thailand. Honestly I've put in so much of hard work for this trip from all the planning, booking, trying to figure out the itinerary and not to forget all the purchases before the trip itself but i truly enjoy it so much that i’m kinda missing it now. I just hope that god will grant me opportunities to take on more trips like this. Thailand is really a good place to begin with if you’re a beginner like me. Great food, reliable commute and amazing places. I enjoyed every bit of it and i would gladly take on another trip just for the 7 eleven meals there, so so good 😋
This year was very generous in terms of weddings. It's official that 2024 is the year where I attended the most number of wedding's🤟. 2024 has been an incredibly transformational year for me. It was the year I fully confronted myself. I am so glad that I allowed myself the chance to experience new beginnings. Went on an international trip, solo concert, solo hiking and got a new phone for myself after almost 5 years. If you know me then you know I rarely do or buy things for myself, so this is something really huge.
I’ve started to believe that my frontal lobe has fully developed only because of the way I am unbothered with things and that just surprises me each time. Like nothing and nothing at all can surprise me anymore.
Respectfully I dont go above and beyond for people anymore. I include you as much as you include me, I speak to you as much as you speak to me. I'm done being extra. My peace is my ultimate priority and I’m at a place in my life where I will not deal with anything that doesn't reciprocate my energy. I stopped reaching out first and haven't heard from people since. Life honestly got so much better when I stopped pouring into cups that never poured into mine be it family, friends or colleagues. I’m so glad I was able to reestablish that faith in myself this year. It’s a nice feeling when you begin to enjoy who you’re becoming.
