What Goes On At Almost 26

Well, I just found my "What Goes On At Almost 24" post so here I am at almost 26.

Why did I miss out "What Goes On At Almost 25" damn. But I think it's fun doing it after two years. Okay so here goes;

At almost 26, which is by now only a few days before my 26th birthday and in collaboration with my annual vacation, Alhamdulilah I can proudly say that I've achieved almost what I thought I couldn't achieve. Ok here's the thing. I KNOW Allah works in the best and most mysterious way and I have faith in everything that Allah gives to me or take away from me. I have faith that everything happens for a reason it is just that most of the time, we as human we want more. So at almost 26 I have achieved part of my dreams and at least have things I thought I couldn't get when I was at almost 24.  

At almost 26, I know have a job. Although it is a contracted job but my contract renews every two years. I'm 3/4 to my two years in this job and heck I didn't even know that I would stay that long in this job. I've got a decent pay, although my parents do wish I earn more(like duh, be real every parent wants that for their child.) The job is unique. Like who the hell takes photos of teeth or dental related photos for a living? (ME, WAVES HAND) 

1. Decent Pay

2. Job's only partially tough, some days

3. Great benefits

With this, i'm gonna tell my 'almost 24' self that "Hey, don't worry about not getting that job(s) you worried about at almost 24. You'll get a decent job with a decent pay and you kinda enjoy coming to work every day(although I must warn you that you won't enjoy the journey to work) at almost 26. You'll do fine in life." 

At almost 26, Alhamdulilah I have officially fulfilled my dream to want to be part of the broadcasting family. That competition I compete in when I was almost 24 paid off. Coming back to SG for that competition paid off. Not getting that job and went for that competition paid off. Hard work do sometimes pay off on top of talent. I wouldn't say i'm talented enough to be part of this industry, but I sure do work my way to where I am today. I ain't satisfied with myself yet and might never will but I want to ensure that what I have today, stays so I wouldn't put my own effort to waste. 

At almost 26, I kinda know what I want in life. I'm starting to work my way to make my parents happier with each passing month. There are a few things that i'm still struggling with but heyyyy at least i'm halfway through my student loan! WHOOP WHOOP! I am actually proud to be paying off such huge sums off from the account that i've earned. 

At almost 26, I have started to gain interest in property. I probably have been dreaming of buying a house in my name with my parents/spouse, but yes I have been taking a HUGE interest in property. Although the numbers seems impossible. But heck, we'll work it out. 

At almost 26, I have not been a great muslim. But I'm trying my best every day. 

At almost 26, I have A LOT of insomnia nights which I do not appreciate but i've learnt to make do and live with it.

At almost 26, i'm still single as I become my friend's bridesmaid and see friends I grew uo with along the way get married. Also skipping weddings that i'm invited to when I do not have any plus ones to take to. I'm single, but IT IS OKAY and I AM OKAY. I'm not even seeing anyone. I have come to terms that this issue will fix itself when the right time and right one comes. 

At almost 26, i'm still typing 'At almost 24'. Some people just don't grow up 😂
