quick updates
been a month since i posted. not really sure if anyone actually follows my blog but the reason why is because i've been taking a bit of a break.
kind of tired of always thinking, talking, working on IT related things, a good mix is important.
i'm back on world of warcraft since my irls are playing it right now and a new expansion is out.
did my first reservist as well.
possibly a new job, starting new trimester of school, and also cleaned up my room.
it was a mess and it looked like a store room before i cleaned it up and now it's realllllllly neat.
the quintessential (but late) new year retrospective and short term goals.
looking back on last year
first things first, i'm just really happy that i followed through and have kept a personal blog going for 2 years now!
amazing. simply amazing. i never expected this.
secondly, last year proved to be a very pivotal point in my life. engaged, started school, took my first loan ever from the bank, then APPLIED for a loan with the govt housing board, got a raise, started a forum site, fixed up my room, bought a bicycle.
although i didnt travel anywhere in 2024 or 2025, it was a great time. i had the funds to focus on myself and improve my lifestyle.
of course there are regrets. but maybe that's for another post.
finally, i think last year i managed to understand myself better and my priorities.
my priorities are to ensure that i optimize for joy in every aspect of my life. making sure i don't stretch myself too thin but making sure i say yes to enough events to keep in touch with my friends and community.
my priorities also include making sure i have time for the things i want to do instead of things that are forced upon me. so this year i will take on zero tasks outside of work.
moving forward
well, might have a new job so there's that.
for this site, i'm likely to create a dedicated software that will edit the files and minify them, then publish the site so that i can streamline writing posts.
the site will still be fully html, css, & js, just that i will write a simple program that takes md and adds the necessary file, blog roll entry on /blog, update the latest post feature on the index, and update my rss.
this way, i can write posts on my phone and then post them easily too.
also, i will prioritize sleep this year. cos i need sleep. and skincare, and fitness (i bought a home gym set. free weights and a bench)
shoo mi mi,
