Last week,
I was running at Gunung Pulai with my hashing friends.

I joked, half laughing, half shocked:
“Eh… how time fly like this?
It’s almost end of 2025 already.
Macam yesterday just Chinese New Year.
大家又赚多一年!”

Everyone laughed.
But it stayed in my head.

So I went to read a bit.
And what I found was interesting.

When we are young, everything is new.

First school.
First friend.
First love.
First failure.
First success.

Every emotion is strong.
Every memory is fresh.

But as adults, many days look the same.

Work.
Email.
Meeting.
Deadline.
Sleep.

Repeat.
Repeat.
Repeat.

Our brain records fewer “new moments”,
so when we look back,
the year feels short.

Not because it was short.
But because it was not memorable.

So time itself is not moving faster.
Our life is just becoming more repetitive.

And that is the part we can change.

If we want time to feel slower, we don’t need more time.
We need more meaning in the time we already have.

New experiences.
Small goals.
Moments that make us stop and feel something.

Happy New Year. Stay awesome.
