Japan Holiday 2025 Part 2

Part 2 of the holiday starts with a flight to Hakodate.  It was an amazing flight where we got a nice clear view of Mount Fuji from the window.

Dreamy December

December has mostly been "Out of Office" for me; I took a total of 3 weeks off, which is practically my whole leave quota for the year.  The pace has slowed down a lot for sure which is a very welcome change, although I can't say the same for Kuta Kute in Batam.  

After I returned from our Japan holiday this year, we had a team lunch at M Hotel City Centre.  My lady boss arranged a Nonya buffet lunch for the team which turned out quite nice.

Japan Holiday 2025 Part 1

This year's Japan trip was good for sure.  Ironically because I didn't bring Lincoln along.  I had been firm with him, if his grades didn't improve then he can forget about going with us.  And by mid-year I didn't see any improvements in both his grades and attitudes and made the call to leave him behind.  As usual he never proved me wrong when he got 31 points for his L1R5, even making excuses to avoid taking the report book home.  In any case.....  this year's trip has been more satisfying for sure too.  I covered most places I want to visit in my itineray and I didn't lose temper at all from having to deal with that boy.

Nailbiting November

We started November with a short trip to Batam again.  This time the missus brought me to Pasir Putih to explore new breakfast hangouts.

Odd October

A month has passed and I have somehow patched things up with my wife over what she did.  We went out as usual going about our routines and all.  But deep down I still find it very difficult to trust her again.  A part of me still questions, how far would she have gone with the other guy had I not caught on to what they were doing.  And most of all I don't understand why she would even give this guy a chance to talk to her so intimately even after knowing he likes her.  I mean, if she had respected our relationship, she shouldn't even allow someone with such intentions to get close to her.  I always believe that when you play with fire, you'll eventually get burned too.  At times I feel like I have failed at both my marriage and work lives, I really don't know what have I done wrong.  I love this woman with all my heart and still, I can't believe how she could have constantly given a chance to a man who likes her to get so close to her.  I feel so tired both physically and mentally, it's as if I need a factory reset.

Shocking September

September is supposed to be a month of celebration for me, and perhaps abundance too...  but the truth couldn't be further than how I wish things should be.  We started the month celebrating my birthday.  I officially turned 44 this month..   A year older but with still so many unfulfilled wishes.
