Here’s to 2025: 2024 Was Here and Gone

Generated using OpenAI's DALL·E tool

Dear Family & Friends,

As the final days of the year roll in faster than you can blink and sneeze, it's time to bid adieu to 2024 and welcome 2025 with open arms (and hopefully no meltdowns).

This year has been a mix of some highs, many lows and hilarious moments — much like trying to be a home handyman wanting to change the bathroom light bulb but afraid of getting on a ladder to do it. If I could sum up the lessons of 2024, it would be this: Life is unpredictable (hello menopause), cats are stubborn and caffeine is essential.

To my fellow food adventurers, thank you for indulging my taste tests. Whether it was hunting for the perfect kopi or savoring a pizza slice that tried to outshine Kreme & Napori, your company made every bite worthwhile. 

For those who dared to visit, I hope you survived the glare of the neighborhood guard doggies — their approvals are rare. Brownie, for example, has high standards; she’ll stand a meter away and sniff the air in the direction of offered food. If the aroma entices her, she ventures to eat it and growls at her companion to claim it as hers. But if she deems it beneath her standard, she walks away, leaving the other doggies to move in and eat the food.

As we gear up for another chapter, may 2025 bring you laughter, love, less stress, fewer visits to the doctors and minimal smacks from entitled cats. Here’s to more flavors, cozy limteh sessions and memories that make us laugh till our stomachs hurt.

Happy New Year!

Warm wishes and lots of cat hair, Sen & Family
