👰🤵 We got married with only close families around!

Started building a new side project - Carpe Diem, seize the day. The goal is to encourage people to try more new things and take care of one's happiness.

This month, I finished my online courses in data science. It's exciting to code again after so many years. During my startup, I wrote several Python scripts to automate our community activities reporting and analyze our website metrics. This inspired me to dive deeper into what else can be done with data.

I did a 5-day silent retreat to refocus my life purpose. During the retreat, I started reading a Buddhist book and it completely refreshed my mind about everything.

Happiest day of my life! Letting go my company meant more mental space and energy for my personal life. I'm grateful of having the support and love from my partner.

The new direction was slowly picking up but mentally I came to the burnout end. A goodbye is the start of a new beginning.

We had challenges growing the business for the past 12 months. Just when I decided to shut it down, I got two great news: a new cofounder and a new business opportunity with our existing resources.

This is the 4th country I lived in within the past 10 years. I follow where life takes me.

I spent the whole month working in Bali, seeking peace of mind and a way to destress from work. I started meditation, journaling, and reflecting on my relationship with the people around me.

I was in isolated lockdown for 14 days. It gave me a chance to re-reflect on my life and personal goals.

I didn't expect to raise funds after getting numerous rejections. And on Christmas Day morning, I signed my first term sheet. Best Christmas gift ever!

I officially announced the launch of Ferne Health. Stepping out of my comfort zone to be in the public eye wasn't easy, but I managed it.

I landed in Singapore on January 31st. Everything was foreign and exciting.

I made up my mind to start my own business in the following new year. I spent months doing research and reaching out to people prior to this day, and I knew the only way to stop the itch was to actually take the leap.

After about half year's planning and hardworking, I finally made my transition from a designer to a product manager. I signed up a General Assembly Product Management course in December and pitched myself to the Product team. Eventually the transition worked!

I became a homeowner in November, and it really hit differently. It's like I was going through a transition from college kids to real adulthood.

Got a new job at Amazon working in the Alexa team. More hardware!

I had this interest in starting a holistic baby's products store. Did my research and drafted a business plan. I ended up giving it up after a few months of researching given how far away my personal life is from the targeted customer segmentation.

It's a cliché gesture to cut one's hair and have a fresh start to a new life. In my case, it's an important farewell to the past, and reclaim of my own power over life.

Every designer loved Photoshop at some point of their life. Now I'm part of the team!

Ooop I got an internship at fuseproject! I love working on hardware (was thinking to become an industrial designer) and software (I'm an UX designer now). This company was dream!

One of the smartest kids from my high school year went to Carnegie Mellon with a scholarship. Since then, CMU had become my dream school, and I wanted to be like him. This year I made it!

Graduated with a degree in Game Design & Development. In the past 4 years, I built several PC and mobile games (I hate Java forever), and my capstone project was a wellness game encouraging people to move around.

One of the saddest things I experienced during college was the retirement of Adobe Flash & Action Script. HTML is the new world, but AS was the most accessible and interactive coding language I learned in college.

College life was exciting and scary at the same time.

In the science and crafting class, I created a stable trash can with similar mechanism of a roly-poly toy, my favorite as a kid. My teacher encouraged me to file for a patent and helped me with the process. It was approved a year later with a patent number CN201381076. The patent later expired after I stopped renewing the file.

Middle school life was really fun for me. I spent most of my childhood reading at home, but now I spend most of my time running around with friends. Through sports I discovered my strength of resilience and endurance.
