Time is moving slowly
Memories are fading slowly
I know what I want for this 2018
I feel warm with the thought of new year
I like it that my wedding is now 4 years old
I like it that I will be 33 years old in this new year
Last year was such a fantastic year in my career, I don't think every year will be such way, but it is always nice to find a job which makes your life balance.
I traveled a lot last year, although I think I traveled less.
In 2018 I might travel less. It is just nice to be at home doing nothing. Although I feel I am trained a bit to think this way, it is OK if it is nice thing. Thought of excess travel is stressful as well.
I might have to work on new pastime and get rid of airbnb, skyscanner fascination.
I worked out a lot in 2017 than any year in the past, but I really didn't loose any of my extra weight. 2018 hopefully is the year to make some progress
Weather in Malaysia has been lovely in 2017, no hazy days, more rain, many starry nights, amazing sunsets and relaxing rooftop time
Surprisingly we saw so less movies in theater this year compared to last few years, I hope it is a good thing as well..
I might have taken flights more than 60 times in 2017 and hated it every time, but the most scary flight was at the end of December, turbulence like I have never seen, almost making people scream for a while. I learnt turbulence is ok over time, there is nothing much you can do once you are on flight.
My hunt for boutique hotels has not ended yet in each country I visit. I hope to continue this in 2018.
At the end of 2017, I did go for a solo trip, to gili islands. I landed at 12.30am in airport and driver of my airbnb stay picked me up, an old man, very nice to talk to, although I had my own doubts and being careful. We had to drive almost 2 hours to reach speed boat. When I reached speed boat, entire place was so quiet. It was just me, driver and he went to wake up some young boat drivers. They woke up and pulled speed boat just for me and the island was just 10 minutes away, I could see it from far. I heard many stories that it is not safe to drive at night in the ocean, waves can be strong, but luckily it was calm on that day. Driver left from the speed boat location and these two young kids probably aged 15 where driving the boat. It was dark, around 2.30am and I looked at the sky. So many stars, so many than I saw in Maldives, than I saw in Gangtok. In ten minutes we reached the island. Once I reach there, airbnb staff where supposed to be there, but odd time, no one was there. Boat guys want to leave, I insisted they stay until airbnb staff arrives. I didn't had local number and no way to call them, they arrived in 10 minutes time and local island people were smoking and singing kuch kuch hota hai song, I doubt if they even know the meaning of it, they were just funny not harmful. Sharukh khan is so popular there as well. I reached my accommodation safely, and felt I handled the whole thing without panicking. Next two days, entire island sang hindi songs when I bicycled around the island, I enjoyed all of them.
Here are some pics from island..
