5 year recap (2019 till 2023)

Whoa, time surely went by fast isn't it. Yesterday was my 170th day in Bangkok and suddenly I miss the memories I have captured in Dayre.com. I captured much memories of my travel and Taiwan exchange on that platform, and now I couldn't really recall my life there except some snippets that I have blogged here. Thus I decided that I must note down some of my thoughts here, if not I couldn't recall it back few years down the road. But before that, let's do a quick summary of the year 2019 - 2023.

Year 2019 (26 yo)

Started working at HRDF 30th Jan onward as research associate, where I looked into the outcome of training schemes. Lots of learning in first year, but got kinda repetitive after the 5th or 6th Outcome report. Nevertheless, colleagues and teammate were really fun during my stint here.

Travels done in 2019:

25th-29th Jan: Taipei with parents

2nd-4th Mar: Melaka Airbnb trip with Hui Ghee and Chui Ling

13th-15th July: Kuching with Mom (Rainforest World Music Festival)

17th-23rd Nov: Bangkok (ASEAN Sport for Development, Peace and Leadership)

27th-31st Dec: Nha Trang and Dalat with mom and Do Re Mi cousins, fun times.


Year 2020 (27 yo)

Political drama and shit happened this year. The country went into lock down 18th March onward, I got so bored that I started planting onions. I also had fun utilising Classpass for Flowride and massage.
