Annual theme

Over the years, I transitioned from New Year resolutions to birthday personal reviews. (links to turning 32, 34, and 35)

This Ali-abdaal short reveals the fragmented feeling I had this year’s review, that is something to needle the topics together. The idea of a theme.

That said, my theme for 34 is brave because:

  • It took me 6 months to find a new job and finally took the action to leave a job I did for 6 years.
  • It gave me the opportunity to live in the states for 1 month, both exciting and scary.
  • We had our first oversea family trip to Malaysia, just ourselves. It was 9 days in total, it’s our first time trying backpacking as a family.

The theme of 35 is Try Again, reasons being:

  • I first started a blog at 31, it took 4 years to actually write. Time to try again.
  • The new job is about building a team of product marketing. It might be luck when I did it the first time, now try again.
