Y2022

alberty111 | Jan. 2, 2023, noon

I am reluctant to write this sort of summary of y2022 because I feel like wasting most of the time and time passed fast this year when little reflection is made. By looking back this year, a few things to highlight though.

Family and friends:

My little sister (5 years youger than me) has married this year, really happy for her, we are pretty close because we are basically in the same age range comparing to my other cousins and we lived not far to each other when we were young, I remember when she was just 3-4 years old, she would smile just by seeing me or hearing me say "fart". Best wishes to her.

I have 2 best friends from junior high school and we have known each other for almost 20 years. But sadly, their fathers both died this year on september and december at pretty young ages. These 2 are my best friends I would say and are the first 2 to experiencing this pain of losing father/mother. We have talked hours when I was at hometown, there are always regretes when this kind of tragedy happened,  I will spend more time with my family.

Work: 

second year of working at Intel and I feel like I was paving in an exhausting stage, not much new things to learn and work load has increased a few folds. Getting called mid night is one thing I cant stand. I think I am going to look for other possibilities ouside DL or China. 

Health (physically and mentally):

physically: weight training wise, I losed focus I think long ago after I started working, body weight has increased 15kg since coming back from France, diet is shit, training is not focused and bouldering skill has never improved.

mentally: I only read I think 2 books in this year, and I started 5 books but never finished them. meditating has been on and off but mostly off these days. 

One interesting thing though, on new year eve, I had dream about life in Toulouse and especially with someone I love. I guess I am missing that healthier and freer life style. I am going to make changes in y2023!

NBD NTL.
