Happy New Year 2022 to all!!! And since I am posting this exactly 1 month late, Happy Lunar New Year!! (Hey, maybe in that case I am actually right on time). 😉
For this entry, I will attempt to summarize my 2021 experience, best worst and everything in-between.
Best Overall of 2021
Signing up my daughter for kung fu class!! I am very grateful that V is getting started early in kung fu, and that we’re able to share this path together. So glad for this!!
Worst Overall of 2021
The pandemic ended, yet it didn’t. Most of us were vaccinated in the Spring, and rejoiced, only to fully realize a few months later that kids under 5 are not yet vaccinated. And so much of the world is stuck in a strange middle-ground, where things are not quite back to normal.
Best videogame
Not sure what I would label as best, however I have been diving into Yu-Gi-Oh on Xbox (countless card battles!) and Octopath Traveler on Nintendo Switch. Excellent games with near infinite replayability. Also vaguely remember playing Doom: Eternal many late nights and finding ALL the secret items.
Most thought about topic
$AMC stock. All day, all night. This thing better goto the moon soon, if only so I can clear space in my head for more important things.
Most important lesson learned
If you’re unhappy with something, or if something doesn’t seem right, just dump it. Boom. Mic drop it. I was unhappy at work for a while and just sticking it out… beginner mistake. Be happy or move on.
Career growth
I am pretty much where I want to be in terms of career now, working at a biotech with ~100 employees. Soaking it in!
Best food
Frozen ‘CHIKN’ or some ridiculous spelling like that. It’s actually plant-based nuggets. Very spicy and lots of flavor. Well done!
Best purchase
Sony MP3 walkman. Yehh boi!! Reminds me of the walkman I had as a kid, except it’s digitized and harder to break. 🙂 Makes a huge difference for workouts, running, etc.
Best Songs
I guess sticking with the music theme, the songs which motivated me the most were Korn’s ‘Here to Stay’ and NIN’s ‘In This Twilight’. Go figure, both 90’s/2000’s music.
Worst realization
Preclinical experiments are even crazier than I imagined. Meh………
Best Change
The best decision or change I made was switching from k-cups to ground coffee. Makes a huge difference! :]
Most Confusing Thing (added after publishing)
How have I been blogging for years and I still can’t get the line/paragraph spacing right!?! Hahah sorry about that. Good thing this isn’t being graded.
Seems overall there were more ‘bests’ than ‘worsts’, so I think I will wrap it up here. I could go on to recall what Netflix shows were good, which were not, but I think it’s time to move forward and onward! Time marches on, make the most of it, Happy 2022~!!
