On the other hand, I simply adore BBQ nights. Whether it is Korean barbecue or just a simple grilled dish, the smell of grilled meat and the joy of enjoying it in the company of others always make me feel at ease and excited. It is not exactly food itself — it is an experience that I can never get enough of.

Collecting is one of my new hobbies, from various toy stuff to minifigures.

With Taylor Swift, I'll always be stuck in my 1989 phase.  From blasting "Style" on repeat to shouting out "Blank Space," it never disappoints.

Alamat has a completely different atmosphere. Their track "Say U Love Me" is one I'd listen to repeatedly. It's emotional and so perfectly produced —it gets to you in all the right ways.

And lately, I’ve been obsessed with Kehlani’s newest track, “Folded.” Her music has always spoken to my emotions, but this one just feels extra personal.

All of the brutal sleepless exam reviews, the many tests that once felt impossible, and being anchored to the much dreaded desk until dawn. All these things needed to be checked off on you to be successful and I wholeheartedly believe you have managed them without breaking a sweat. You never really gave up.

And now, look at you! You have transformed yourself fully and after so much work, personally and professionally, so much self undoing and reconstruction, you really are a professional accountant—ver savvy, in demand, and respected in the industry.

I hope you remain humble and sweet as ever.

With heart and Hope,

Your Future Succesful Accoutant Myself.

3. What two topics were your favorites and why?

My favorite topics were Knowing Oneself and Mental Health and Well-being. The reason I liked Knowing Oneself was because it made me learn something new about my personality type, why, and the way I think and act. This made me confident in being myself. On the other hand, Mental Health and Well-being taught me that emotional balance and resilience are important, especially during stressful times. This topic reminded me to take good care of my mind just as I would my body.
