2024: A Year of Growth and Rediscovery
After a two-year break, returning to work in 2024 felt like an uphill challenge. I was worried about finding a job, but as luck would have it, the opportunity came, and I embraced it wholeheartedly. Balancing a full-time job with life outside of work has been an ongoing journey, but this year has shown me that life can expand in ways I never imagined.
One of the most thrilling highlights of 2024 was being part of MURK! & .sg Collaborating on a short film about diving in Singapore was an unforgettable experience. Through this project, we aimed to share a message thatโs close to our hearts: โYES! You can dive in Singapore, and itโs actually really fun!โ Today, we even went diving at Hantu, where the visibility was surprisingly goodโa perfect reminder of why we love local waters.
Another incredible milestone was working on Ace 2099 with Michael Aw and connecting with some of the brilliant minds behind Ocean Geographic magazine. I even got to meet Her Royal Deepness, Dr. Sylvia Earle, in personโa dream come true for any ocean enthusiast.
And of course, there was Ocean Canvas 2024, which grew even bigger and better this year. More attendees, more breathtaking underwater shots, and more shared passion for the marine world. This annual event continues to inspire and push creative boundaries, setting the tone for the year ahead.
The cherry on top? I won my first underwater photography competition!
Looking back, Iโm amazed at how much this year has offeredโespecially with the unwavering support of my trusted everything buddy. Hereโs to 2025 and all the adventures waiting to unfold!
