2013, Best Year Yet
I should say it is the best year yet of my life so far (been saying that three times back-to-back from 2011, 2012, and now 2013) - this year I get to travel to quite a lot of places and meet a lot of new friends. Started my own initiative, and get interviewed by Bloomberg Indonesia. Not bad, I guess?
