Here we are again, at the end of another year.
2018 has been a blur, with the feeling like nothing happened, while a lot of events happening at the same time.
It's kinda weird. It has been a very contradictory year in all aspects.
I started my new job at the end of last year and started with properly into the groove this year.
It was both good and bad. It took awhile to adjust to the work that i have to do. In fact, i'm still adjusting to it now. Still don't know if i want to do this. But the pay is good. So i'm staying for awhile before i can figure out what i want to / can do after this.
It was a good year for travelling.
I went to India (for my friend's wedding), to Chiang Mai (for our Raya trip), to Japan (to be a tourist and visit my friend), to Sydney (for a business trip), and Klang (for being a local tourist for one day). I should be so lucky if i could do it again for 2019 and travel as much as i did this year. I suppose, travelling locally is also a good idea. So let's see how that goes for next year.
I tried to keep myself busy this year.
But that was a fail. I couldn't find a hobby that i liked. And running has become somewhat of a chore. I entered runs that i didn't actually go to.. So a bit of a waste sometimes. So i'm hoping that i can take up something that i can stick to for at least a year. Then I can assess that experience and decide whether to keep on doing it 2020.
Speaking of which, 2020 is just a year away..
Wow.. the "future" is here. So what has changed? Was it as we imagine it to be? Still no flying cars unfortunately. Although i suspect that might be possible, just give it another 20 years or so. We might just make one.
But before going into that, 2019 would be the year i turn 40.. I have mixed feelings about that. I don't really feel different. I just feel that the expectations on me is different. Also, i would officially stop trying to get myself hitched or even find anyone when i turn 40. What's the use anyway.. Hoping for something that would never happen. So i'm gonna stop doing that. Maybe look into something else.. Get a cat or something. I donno...
So in about a week, the new calendars go up, and the old one brought down.
What's in the past is past. We go on as usual..
Here comes 2019.
Thank you 2018. It has been a pleasure.
