What did not go well

I:

  • often find hard to concentrate on work
  • still not very good in choosing priorities
  • spend a lot of time on garabage things, like reading blogs, news and so on useless stuff
  • don’t pay enough attention to sport activity

What went well

I:

  • learnt how to drive a car, I drove sedan, crossover, pick-up. In city, town, rural roads, highways.
  • traveled a lot, it was life changing experience! I traveled more than last year, because I can drive a car now. I was in several national parks in Krabi province and traveled by car to Penang island in Malaysia.
  • was programming more, My developer skills became better, I learnt basics of Python, Javascript and my Ruby is almost fluent already.
  • I learnt basics of CSS and HTML.
  • finished Introduction to Finance course on Coursera and got that to learn good - you need to enjoy it, learning mood is important.
  • Enhance my opscode chef cooking skills even more.
  • learnt how to read ไทย, and now I know about 600 Thai words. Though I understand now that it’s not a sprint - it’s a marathon.
