2015 Summary

To days to come, and all my love to long ago. – Doctors

It’s never late to do a summary, as long as I do it.

Year 2015 is just another year that flew away, in phrases… –

• Grandma’s sick and death,
• a special girl’s marriage,
• a sudden love of Ukulele,
• a lonely birthday,
• two farewells to two colleagues (and a third days ago, and a fourth upcoming from me),
• a series of Coursera courses that squeezed out all my spare time,
• a still-young colleague’s cancer (and a fear of having cancer thereafter (causing me coughing for two months)),
• two weddings bringing sorrow of being single,
• an idea of data mining application in EDA software testing (and a real implementation of it, gaining even more burden of work:dizzy_face:),
• a first experience of mentoring another,
• an interest towards GPU, graphics, and numerical methods,
• a determination of life changing,
• a recall to fundamental courses,
• and an ever-growing single figure (and obesity…).

So… New year resolution?

I wish to learn more about parallel programming, firstly. And a new job hopefully.

Being single is still a problem. I wish to solve this particular problem soon. But this is more about luck, isn’t it? (provided my status no longer being a student…) :grin:

Health now comes into my mind. Losing grandma made me sad, but it was aging. Losing a colleague made me afraid, because he is still very young and has a kid. Working for three years has made my figure totally unhealthy in shape. Moving to a new place might be able to setup a new beginning of exercising.

I haven’t lost my determination to excel, since the time I watched Dead Poet Society.

So, keep moving…

Cheers,
