We are going to wave goodbye to year 2008 in a few hours time, seems so fast doesn’t it? 2008 was a good year for me (I would say not bad, but generally it’s good), yes there were some highs and lows for me in 2008, by this post I would like to look back the main highlights of what I have done and achieved in 2008 :
In 2008 I started to work remotely and full time for dot tourism, a UK based company, working as a web developer who handles web stuff and a bit of multimedia, my working hours is adjusted to UK time which is 7 hours behind (6 hours during Daylight Saving Time), to be honest I dreamt about working from home since 3 years back, with a regular income, so I thank God for realizing one of my dreams. By working with a different working hours to many people here, I didn’t really see it as a problem, until I got lots of complains from my loved one about my uptime compared to hers, then I looked at myself, ah yes she’s probably right, I spent too many hours working combined with a different uptime maybe I forgot some things which I usually did with her, and she didn’t get much attention from me, but up until now, I still find it hard to switch between my life and work, this is going to be one of my homework next year.
2008 also marks my 3 years relationship with Ummy, and 27 years living on earth, also the year which I started to use dual screen for work (which I found it very helpful, thanks to my office), the first time I have my own notebook, have my own camera, moving to my hometown and living alone by renting a house, my sister got married, bought a TV, met some old friends, started to go to Malang regularly (which I haven’t done this month because of work reasons),and last but not least i finally be able to meet my boss in the real world.
Those are the main highlights of 2008 as far as i can remember. 2009 hopefully will be a better year for us, I have written down some of my resolutions but I need to re-check the list and save it for the next post.
See you, and happy new year
