First Memory - Long Read

Was just randomly thinking and reminiscing of all the first experience in my life. Here goes:

First time taking the plane and travelling overseas alone with workmates - To Bali when I was in my mid 20s. Felt like a small kid but had to play it cool so no one knew. 

First time working - There is many different first time experience. Working during study break wasn't enjoyable but needed the money. It became quite routine. KFC was quite fun once I memorize the menu and could repeat orders. The not so fun part is counting the cash box especially during closing and somehow there's shortfall. Factory work was also not fun the first month but after tasting the fat pay I became motivated to come to work everyday 😂 Tried out working at shoe shop and I quit after first day. My ego and pride just couldn't accept it and this is also why I will never allow shoe shop seller to kneel down and pass me the shoes that I want to try on. Real work started during internship. Instead of learning about work or shadowing my senior, I was tasked to cover a colleague who's going for her maternity and so my journey in real estate began. Was quite intimidated by the real world work. 

First time travelling overseas with only my sister - To Bangkok. First ever sister trip. It was so fun and we didn't quarrel or fight at all during the entire trip. 

First time travelling overseas with both my brother and sister - To JB. Short trip but it was enjoyable. 

First time experiencing and witnessing snow in person - At the age of 37 in Korea. It felt so magical!
