(almost) 8 months later
March 31st, 2009It’s getting harder & harder to blog these days because most people “twit” instead of blog, and I can’t really convince myself to get into that because the fundamental thought of telling literally the whole world what you’re doing doesn’t ring too good; with blogging, there is at least *some* literary benefits.
The last time I wrote here, I had just finished enjoying 愛得太遲 for the first time. And it’s become a de-stresser song on my PC because of how much I can relate. I don’t even know how many unwatched DVDs I have in my possession, and yes many of which were bought legit. Communication with family is as the song talks about, getting difficult too, because of conflicting time schedules, and just a very different thought process in general. After all, there is quite a bit of a generation gap, and a conflict of interest in many regard. But I do feel sad when I see my mom works at her age, I wish there was more I could do or more I could say to her to make things easier for her; these things if possible however, would not be regrets.
I don’t think I’m a happy person, but I’m not sad or depressed either; angry at times, but often at specifics and not a spontaneous frustration. I guess 2008 just wasn’t a very good year, at least in the certification department; it was pathetic! Not a single new certificate earned, I thought for sure CCNP was a catch in the bag for ‘08, but Cisco & PearsonVue had other things in mind. The biggest event for the 23rd year of my life journey was simply passing my probation and staying employed. Since there is some seasonal cycles in my job, I almost can’t believe I’m already seeing the first cycles yet again; it seemed like it was a week ago or so when I tackled some of these challenges, but yet here I am a year later!
The under-the-bridge portion of 2009 has mostly been filled with non-eventful moments. Some stuff happened at work, but it’s not a huge deal that anyone’s going to care about, so there’s no point reflecting on those. I guess I’m just looking forward to;
1) Lili’s return to Toronto
2) Moving back to Markham
3) M.Eng convocation
4) CCNP certification
