Life Updates 2019-2020

1. 2019 I've been watching a lot of  "Chinese Games" let's play - 洛克群侠传，武林群侠传前传，中国式家长, 天命奇御, 还愿 (This is darn good and strongly recommended). It is an odd digression from the norm.

2. Lot of "edutainment" channels that are really poisonous. Listing my personal favourites:

Edutainment: 老高,  健客行, 李永乐老师. 

Crime Solving: X 调查, 老K奇谈, wayne調查

Political Discussion/Entertainment: 夜问, 宅卡拉

Movies: 老邪说电影，大象放映室

For Sleeping: 街头象棋

Good Old Entertainment: Onion Man

3. English channels wise, I'm hooked on cute animals like MilkyBokiTan, MochaMilk, MayaPolarBear. I also watched variety like FamilyFeud, Weakest Link 2020

4. Games wise I'm still mainly playing Hearthstone, and in end 2020 got hooked on Legends of Runeterra. Mobile wise I've crashed ThroughTheAges. Board games acquired on impulse - Smartphone Inc. Upcoming: Democracy 4. Frankly speaking, I don't have much motiviation to look up new games haha.

5. Social media, got hooked onto 全民 Party through the circuit breaker period from Apr 2020. Oh, Tik Tok is really quite addictive too...

6. Work-wise there isn't really nothing much to say. Operational stuff takes up a majority of the time, and I'm hoping for more opportunities to strengthen my visualization, analytics and maybe even machine learning skillset. Started on Azure and Power BI learning. Hope I have to motivation to compete more LEARN courses. 

7. Ended something that barely got started... it should have ended much early. I don't know why it took so long. At first it was Jan, then "one last chance" in Mar, but I kept felling back into the trap. Jul was the final straw on the camel back. When that moment hit and everything came flooding back into my mind (for a few weeks it was as bad as Jan 2020)...... I knew I have to end it once and for all. It took for a few months but I hope it's all over. 

8. Insomnia issues continue to plague me occassionally. God... I really need to stick to a regular seeping schedule. It is also a cause of my weekend headaches (napping for too long)

9. Since Dec 2020, I have largely been able to maintain my fitness schedule, running at least once a week and up to as much 3/4 times a week. I have also passed my IPPT with incentive!
