2018

Year in review! I try to make it an effort to catalog my life as I move through phases and even then, my waning memory can forget or overlook recent events.

So here's my self-reminder of 2018's best hits.

Black Panther - this show was so early in the year that I oftentimes forget that Spiderman Homecoming and Infinity War (edit: forgot about Ant Man and the Wasp as well) were featured in the same year. Marvel had a good year ahead and look to build on their franchise, while DC bumbles through the painfully wayward Justice League.

Langkawi - a 13-person trip with my secondary school buddies was always gonna be a tricky arrangement. Thankfully the trip had minimal hitches and the team really pulled through.

GE14 - A start of "Malaysia baru". And although it's early stages, this cabinet is a younger, more progressive group of muppets still. Only time will tell if they'll be good on their word.

Personal wellbeing - whether it be dating, exercise, or building connections. I've begun taking bigger steps to watching my diet (on some, sparse occasions) and I've been pushing myself to exercise more. Plus, an obvious bonus that I've been dating someone.

The XX live - been too long since I went to a concert. This was pretty good, at a not-ideal location. Forgot how early in the year this was.

Revisiting the US - getting to revisit the (so far) best years of my life has profound implications. It was a time warp with many inflections as I went through pre-reverse culture shock in a warped landscape (mainly due to the change in leadership).

Magic: The Gathering - this was my official first foray into MTG as a player and hobby. I have made so many friends as a result and have understood myself more as a person through playing with cardboard (I know, right?). Being a somewhat complex game (moderate floor, high ceiling), you naturally interact with smart people and that's always a good thing.

Finished my book - yep! Now I don't know how to publish it.

That was 2018 in a nutshell. Here's to a better 2019, as I'm hitting the supposed prime years of my life.

Time to live up to my expectations.

With determination and love,
Fang
