2015
My 2015 is a roller coaster year. Some ups and some downs.
Good #
Some good stuffs that happened are
- Met a lot of awesome, fantastic, impressive and amazing people. Thanks y'all.
- Travelled a lot
- Maepaysoh
- MyanmarFlood.info
- Happened to buy a lot books and read a few of them. Especially, RPF and Murakami books totally changed my mind about how I look some particular things. I am glad that I read those. And Humans of New York is arguably the best I have ever read this year.
- Some surprising job offers and I obviously did get in.
- Keeping (barely) up DevDaily.
- A camera and loads of photos
Not so good #
Some not so good stuffs that happened
- Had a surgery
- Didn’t get into school
- Didn’t write a lot code
- Didn’t learn anything much too.
- A lot less non-fiction books than fictions and zero technical books
- Didn’t run a lot
- Feeling not good enough almost all the time, consequently, depression.
