The Joy of Side Quests

While I’m absolutely someone who finds great joy in finishing every side quest in a game, this post unfortunately isn’t about video games. One of the most satisfying feelings in life is when you’re able to solve a problem that you have in life by yourself (and a bit of internet research, of course), be that repairing some tech, designing a CAD model that fits perfectly into some nook, or even just turning something off and on again.

A Year of City Walks

I started off this year with a bunch of goals. Not sure if this is just me slowly entering my quarter-life crisis, but I’ve been trying to (re)discover hobbies, find out things about myself and just do some soul-searching in general. While I might’ve given up on a bunch of these (RIP the dusty guitar in the corner of my room), the one goal I can say that I’m satisfied with has been one to travel. I believe I’ve been to more places this year than any other year of my life.

Cafes, Curries and Other Adulting Adventures

It’s been a good while since I’ve come back to this blog. It’s something I always think I should do, but I just never get around to doing it. I can’t seem to shake the feeling that I will come back here in ten years and look to this blog in nostalgia. So, I figure it’s good to document what this point in my life was like. Why that has to be on a public blog on the Internet, I cannot explain.
