The year is about to end and yes it was one challenging and full of adventure 2018. Who would thought that after 10 years I'm still here working in a university, something I didn't even plan to pursue but probably it was a decision that I took and never regretted. Starting from an engineering background which is also the first job I took at a semiconductor manufacturing company for so many years and later going back to college and shifted into programming. To look back, the Singapore trip with my colleagues is one for the books, it was a fun filled adventure going around Singapore, visiting Google Singapore office and Expedia, the food and meeting our former students and workmates who are now based there.
Last May, I was fortunate to be given a chance to visit Google at Mountain View, CA and attended the GDG Leaders Summit and Google I/O 2018. Meeting my co-leads from the my own country and the rest of the world is an experience one would appreciate a lot, basically learned things on how they ran their own communities which is something I can replicate in our own community.
Though the time was a bit limited, I was still able to visit the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, hopefully I can go back and take a much longer time touring the place and maybe go to LA as well.
For the rest of the 2018 happenings it was fun.
Hoping for more travels and good things next year and I do wish it brings peace, love and awakening to a lot people. For now, Merry Christmas everyone and Happy New Year! Peace!
