2024 was a turning point for me (in a positive way), and I'm forever grateful for whatever happened during the past year. Although no talking about 2025 until Lunar New Year's Eve, I hope that I could get things right next year and onwards 🎉 Happy new year everyone 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

7. First breakup

My almost two-year relationship had ended. It was easy and hard at the same time, and it made me realize a lot. It was hard to end something beautiful for the past 2 years, but maybe I was never able to discover who I truly am, if I still clinged on it.

6. Discovered myself

I always wondered to myself "what am I pursuing?". And it struck me recently that I would do everything to get to the point where I could do everything I want. In other words, freedom.

Hence the motto "a very, very free spirit".

5. Lots of reading and learning, but non-tech

I read bunch of great books about business and management this year, and were on my way of learning finance and economics. I loved the mathematical viewpoint of finance and econ. And I hope, maybe, that I could put all those to good use next year 🫡

4. Connecting to people

This year I did lots of reaching out to people (part of my jobs btw). I connected to old buddies at school, and made new friends along my only trekking trip of the year. It was never lonely this year, and that's awesome 😁

3. Learning, and keep learning

I got 2 professional-level AWS certs. First time learned React Native and first bug fix in RN core library as well 😜. I learned a bunch about cloud, DevOps and platform engineering. Started lots of experiments, some yielded great results for my work 🤩

2. Making impact

In 2023 my favorite book was about taking initiatives and making impact, and in 2024 I put it in action. Everything I touched turned into gold. My software outsourcing business grew, like x2. I did things that transformed every tech project I lead. It was phenomenal 🎉

1. Lots of first things:

I had my first time travelling abroad (Taiwan, Singapore x2, Thailand). I discovered my favorite sports: running and mountain trekking. I got my first half-marathon this year 🤩.
