December 2025
D E C E M B E R ❤
Hello, December! // December has been the most exciting month of the year as it has fully packed with travel plans. After a long dreadful month of work, it's finally time to relax, play and have fun!
Autumn 2025 in Chugoku-Kyushu Region ❤
05.12.2025 - 13.12.2025 | Autumn in my favourite Japan. ❤❤❤ It felt wonderful to be back to my homeland during my favourite fall season. On this trip, I skipped the usual Kyushu route and took the road less travelled through the Chugoku region, exploring Hiroshima, Miyajima, Onomichi, and Shimonoseki, plus a couple of days unwinding in Kitakyushu, Hakata and Sasaguri, Fukuoka. This marks the unlocking of my 16th and 17th preferecture of Japan - Hiroshima and . Yamaguchi.
Experiencing different scenery brings me joy. Especially when having an up-close experience with my favourite penguins, watching my favourite sunset on the island, embarking on a spiritual tour in Sasaguri, and more.
Fall foliage at its peak ❤
The best part? Although I arrived few days after the peak autumn foliage, I still managed to do some leaf-hunting and find the perfect spots glowing with red and yellow hues. Every picture painted in red and yellow truly makes my heart felt content and grateful.
Christmas market is everywhere in Japan ❤
Aside from chasing autumn foliage, the Christmas markets are what I look forward to most, especially in Hakata. This year, however, Kokura and Tenjin Central Park pleasantly surprised me with the best markets I've been in Japan so far. I particularly enjoy watching the river glow with Christmas lights, feeling calm and peaceful as the reflections drift by...
Thank you Japan for the beautiful memories! ❤
Christmas Train Show @ Flower Dome, Gardens By The Bay
14.12.2025 | It's almost Christmas time. Stepping into the Christmas train show felt like entering a tiny wonderland, where the soft glow of lights and the gentle motion of the trains made everything slow down. Watching the miniature scenes was quietly magical, as it resembles the simple excitement of the holiday season.
Christmas Wonderland @ Gardens by The Bay ❤
Seeing Christmas Wonderland again - this time with the flying Santa soaring overhead - felt completely different from how it did when I was a kid. What once wasn’t the best experience turned into something joyful, magical and warm in the heart. It felt good to recreate new memories here, as if I am rewriting my own version of Christmas Wonderland with a happier note.
Early Christmas celebration @ Dragonfly Bar ❤
20.12.2025 | It's us spending our weekend together for an early Christmas celebration. Having my cocktail here in the Dragonfly Bar felt like stepping into a hidden bar of Tai Kwun in Hong Kong again. Surrounded by moody lighting, rich textures, and a quiet festive buzz, it was the kind of evening that made time slow down and turned the evening into something deeply personal and unforgettable.
Christmas surprise gift - Huawei Watch GT6 ❤
22.12.2025 | Thank you for the huge surprise! Totally didn't expect to receive such a thoughtful gift for this Christmas, although I did mentioned about this watch when it was first launched in September 2025. The design is very fashionable, and it supports multiple sports modes including badminton and table tennis! Yeay!
[Final trip of 2025] Family Cruise @ Piano Land ❤
23.12.2025 - 26.12.2025 | Nothing beats ending the year (and welcoming a brand new year) surrounded by the warmth of family. The excitement of my family is priceless, and seeing Papa's happy face light up throughout the 4D3N cruise trip makes every moment even more special.
Happy to be a tour guide for the family in Phuket, strolling along the nostalgic Soi Romanee and tucking into a hearty dinner in One Chun, the Michelin Guide restaurant.
❤❤❤
2025 in a nutshell.
Been a pretty good year, as I have been well protected and cared for like a princess everyday.
This year has been filled with so many new memories and moments of cherishing the people who matter most.
2025 reminds me that growth isn't always smooth.
There are repeated mistakes, missed targets and achievements, and milestones that slip by.
But each stumble is also a chance to learn the lessons from the past, recalibrate and keep moving forward.
Note to self for 2026:
Never stop chasing your dreams;
Life is filled with endless possibilities;
Don't miss the chance to explore every one of them.
❤❤❤
Have a blessed 2026 ahead!
xoxo,
FiSh
