Jumping to another tree, venturing like a monkey

I found out recently that I didn't post anything last year, not even my usual end of year or happy new year post..like for real FOR REAL!?? Shoot.. seriously there's a ton of things going on in the past times that makes me decide to take a moment to put everything at halt... Life has been an adventure and as I mentioned in my past posts, I'm trying to create a path that I can proudly look back and say "you made it with no regret!" But truth be told, there are some questionable decision made, but did I regret it now...nahhh not really, as time went by another lesson learnt is that, life's too short for regrets anyway and failure is the best teacher.

This year, again I didn't get to write a happy new year post BUT!! I'm updating now for another reason.

Earlier this year, as I'm busy hustling with another engagement that I caught myself into (ps. I'm out of the previous cage to be in a new "greener" cage) I'm also busy fulfilling my dream. So, let's backtrack a bit to give some context bout this dream of mine. So a few years back, something caught my eyes as I was driving at the highway, it is small but gives out an aura from far away that makes me turned my head twice to capture it sight. Ever since then, I've been eyeing for it and makes it a not-so-short term goal of mine to own one. My initial goal is to buy it as a self reward once I'm able to escape from my job with the expectation that I'm able to land a new job and get convincing pay that will be able to support my fantasy soon. I've been actively searching for a new role/job but sadly I keep receiving bad news. Sometimes in earlier this year, I heard that I may face the possibility of not obtaining that dream of mine as they are going to discontinue it. This makes me feel more rush and desperate to own it but the push factor really not due to the time pressure, but thanks to those devilish whispers from my fellow team members, who consistently feeding me with "supports" and "prayers"..after days of convincing and discussion had with none other than my financial planning role model @ my Dad! I ended up buying that dream of mine before I leave my firm. So officially on 12 March 2025 - You may call me the owner of Jimmy the Jimny <3.

Remember this? The car (Dad's) that I thrash in the Parit!

Bro's

I don't know how to describe the feeling had back then, when I went to test drive it, I simply fell in love with it as soon as I took hold of the steering wheel. The fact that I booked it on the same day I test drive it for the first time still feels unreal to me. Was that considered as impulsive thoughts hahaha..worry not, Kevin is not left behind, he is safely passed to my bro to assist him with his daily needs. So yeah~

Sorry Kev but Kinetic Yellow is the new Orange now..

Moving on the next topic which is more relatable to the title of this post. GUYS Finally GUYS!! I'm moving on from this firm..I'm leaving for good..But as the title mentioned I'm just jumping to another tree, still within the same industry..but this time it's a bit different as I'm entering with hope that I can learn new things while searching for my pace back. I've did what I can while I can. Although I may not leave the team on the right time but I hope everything will end on a good note. There's a lot of relationship made and paths I've encounters throughout the 5 years in the firm. There's a lot of emotion to digest to describe the adventure had. I enjoyed most of it actually but there are things that can always be improved and made better. People aren't something we can control or demand for changes to happen overnight. And knowledge isn't something we can install or download immediately. But the time spent there is a lesson and experience for a lifetime. Apologies for my shortfalls and thank you for the memories and lessons learnt. I hope the resignation from the firm doesn't equate to the end of friendship gain. Thanks again to my fellow team members, bosses and assistances that were provided by everyone across all departments.

I'll be starting my new job next week 4th Aug 25. Hope everything went well.. I'm not concern on the work stress that much as I'm fully aware being in the same industry, how big of a difference do I get but I do wish it can give me more opportunity to find myself back and produce a better version of me.

Lastly, I'm just sharing the fact that I'm able to write this post due to...ehem2...my new tablet..I just bought myself a new tablet - Xiaomi Pad 7 - don't ask me why Xiaomi bla3...my money my problem kay~ so far it is still fresh from the oven so I'm still satisfied with it, let see how long it will last hehehe hope it can be my next buddy and allow me to update you more often.(Sorry Huawei, you left me on bluescreen T-T). That's all, I'll be sharing more once I stabilise my life again hahahah cause gurl this girl just came back from war and still in recovering phase HAHAHA so till then..Adios~~!! (Vid from En Sukry on the day my baby was delivered hehe)

stepping into another year~

Here again, last night of the year. It's interesting to look back at every year end to see how life unfold...365 episodes, with multiple genres that can be tag in each series... There are some episodes totally filled with comedy, romance, horror, Action!... and of course a lot of them mixed with genres like emotional, savage, dark comedy, etc... Life sure is a drama, and being the main character is not an easy thing... so congratulations to all the main characters that managed to survive once again till the end of the series this year! Honestly, when I hit 25, I feel thrilled as this is the age that I has been waiting for since high school... There's a lot of things that I had plan for my 25 year-old self back in the day... And as always Allah is the best planner, I won't give up on those plans, as I'm only 5 months in my 25th year of age hehe

If I can summarise what happened this year, there's a few karaoke sessions had, some birthday celebrations, there's day that we went to support Carmen FSO rep!, golf session with the team to destress ourselves, laugh, tears and also virus spread at client's place hehe, team lunch/dinner, farewell with a few team members, attend Jeng Yee's big day, family trip to Tambun and Ipoh (house with karaoke ^^), temple experience with team, introduced to a nice cafe by Carmen (had breakfast with them a few times too ^-^), visited mom's hometown, being part of EY FSO's netball team (won 3rd place!!!>.<), sprained my ankle and walked with swollen leg for at least more than a week hehe, filled my house with clown (weird that I hate clown but I legit has clown related items everywhere in my house), badminton session with fam! (while recovering from the swollen leg - which makes it worst -.-) , as per my last post I got another sis, burning my stomach with bro and sis, barbeque sessions, My first flight experience - Sabah FSO group trip <3!, new TV, surprised my teammates with the amount of food I can consume, supporting bro for his Full Marathon, fight with Lily everytime we are left alone hahahah, finally experienced ACCA member event, went to Night of Fright with the scaredy cats that actually turns out to be the bravest pack of all (salute with admiration O-O), watching my bro graduation, spent almost the whole day at games cafe and museums, eating alone during dinner event T-T, bowling games, spring cleaning, annual hair cut appointment, christmas dinner and lastly secret santa event with buddies... Wow that is almost EVERYTHING I did this year hahahaha...

So yeah that is all, 2024 please be nice to me, Arfareena Arman, let's grow stronger, braver and more mature this year to face new challenges and obstacles... Although I always pray that others only go through flowery path, I do know life is not that simple, thus I hope despite any unwanted experience to face in 2024, we can all go through with it heads on... of course, we are only humans and are prone to make mistakes, but let's be a bit more careful as we step deeper into adulthood...since we are well aware now that it is not easy! Thank you for every experience, leeway, lectures, lessons learnt in 2023!! hope you can see a better version of me in 2024~!

enjoy almost 90 pics below MUAHAHAHAH
