First NewYearCountdown

Times flies

And it is the last day of 2024 already

Seriously this year rly marks as a very impt turning point in my life.

2023 was a year I came to a conclusion with my close friends 

Distanced yet still friends that holds the most important place in my heart

Walked out of everything and no longer sad or wanting to go back or cry anymore

Become a much more matured adult I feel

Started to accept the most important person in your life might not always be hovering ard u

心里有彼此就好了

你我之间的回忆友情并不会消失

我们只是现在在不同的领域生活着 忙碌着

So starting this year May

Embark on my new journey of making new friends

By downloading dating apps

And matching with different kinds of people 

No matter is girls or boys

Rly in jus May and Jun, literally met up for dinner/lunch dates with 11people?

Some is rly red flag, like tml wanting to marry me straight kind

Or those that is a catfish 

Or those that u know is out of your league kind and u can't be friend with ea other de

So only a few stayed in contact 

But this journey is rly amazing feat fr me

I am an ISTJ

Real introvert 

Never in my life I had thought about 

Using this kind of app

And texting online strangers

Making friends online 

And meeting them in real life

Rly felt the major change in me myself

First meetup was wif a jiejie

And rly thanks to her 

I had a great dinner wif her 

And she rly make me not as nervous to start meeting new ppl frm the app

She is a rly cool, friendly and nice person!

Then nex met up another person

This time round was rly rly nervous as this is a guy

In my life, I rly seldom have guy friends

Most of the opposite gender I talked to is my colleagues

I tend to draw the draw bet guys n me

As I am Abit afraid of talking to guys actually

Like not sure what topic to talk wif them and how to become friends wif them

And what if they start to fall in love wif me,

How am I suppose to reject them?

As I dun wanna get marry at all

Then started meeting more and more people and texting new ppl

The more confident I get in meeting new ppl

So my current bf is also a sweet surprise that came along my way frm the app

We started off frm a normal texting buddies

I rly didn't think of him as my potential date or what at first

I jus felt like he is a funny person and Abit sarcastic at times

But he can be serious also at times and provide me with life values, viewpoints.

We also texted for ard 4mths? And it took 2mths of texting till he asked fr a meetup dinner

Then after first dinner our nex meetup was only the nex mth

So rly think ohya, we are definitely jus friends

If a guy rly wanna date u he confirm will asked u out the following week and not the nex mth de mah

So everytime I meet whoever new, I will also tell him my thoughts n views of those ppl online that I met

Things only started to get romantic 

When I shared a drink wif him and getting infect with sorethroat

He felt guilty that he passed it to me then drive to my office jus to pass me lozenges

So alot up n downs after that. And we jus started officially dating in mid Oct.

So at first didnt expect much and felt like we will end things soon enough

But 1st mth, 2nd mth and now coming to yr end.

Didn't expected to spend my Christmas first time with my bf and now even new year countdown 

This are smth I nv ever thought I will be able to have such memories

So rly felt that since dating him 

I had managed to tick alot of things-to-do on my bucketlist.

Movie date,neoprint date,dinner date, meeting his family, meeting his friends

Cooking tgt, gg sea aquarium tgt, spending Xmas , tgt 跨年

Rly grateful and thankful for all the memories he gave me

Though I have cried fr him a few times cause of my insecurities in love

Bt rly look fwd to my many more first time with him.

Conclusion of Y2024:
