2021 is...

Posted in: # Mass Effect | 2021 posts | Anime | Knit/Crochet Stuff | Learning French Language | Learning German Language | Learning Russian Language | Reading | Reading Challenge

This post is the final post for this year. 

I made it! I've updated this blog daily for the whole year! 372(!) posts in 365 days.
You can see the list of posts with links here. 

Since this is a personal blog, my posts were mostly diary/journal-like though. I had fun doing it. 

PAST
Let's see... what happened this year...
♛ I started reading books regularly again! 
I do have some minor slump-like moments at times but it happened... and it's happening! 
  • Reading Challenges
    I have an ambitious aim - to read all the new/unread books in my bookshelf. That also prompted the birth of Pick-A-New-Book Jar and some other reading challenges. So far, I've picked 18 books from that jar and already finished reading 13 of them. Only managed to read two books from my not-rigid list (but no matter! They will be brought to next year :P)
  • Those Read Unread Books
    Finally read:
    -- "The Hunger Games" and its sequels. 
    -- "Mansfield Park" by Jane Austen which I [surprisingly] liked.
    Finally finished reading:
    -- "情定愛琴海" (reread)
    -- "The Star-Touched Queen"
    -- "Commemorative History of Sabah 1881-1981" (that non-fiction book)
    -- "Good Omens"...which honestly, I don't really enjoy reading.
  • Oh New Books!
    Got a lot of those this year. But it makes it easy to refer back when I had posted about their arrival so I liked that. Oh yeah, I also found some rare Chinese novels: 還珠格格's Part 1 and Part 2, with covers that I wished to own.
♛ I knitted that haramaki
Last year, I wanted to learn to knit because of this haramaki pattern. After practising on other projects, I finally started knitting that haramaki and finished it months later. Haven't started any new knitting project as of now though.

♛ I got vaccinated for COVID-19
I posted about having trust issues in August. I want to avoid crowded places as much as possible so I never applied (registered?) to get vaccinated via the MySejahtera app. Fortunately in September, my father found a clinic where I can get the vaccination with peace of mind. *sigh* I don't know what I'll do with the booster one later... probably will be assigned to a place near home. Will there be a crowd? Probably.

♛ I started learning new languages
...Still in very, very early stages though XD. I'm re-learning French from scratch. I'm also learning how to write and read Cyrillic. Oh.. and I'm learning a bit of German (this looks scary at first but I discovered how fun it can be). I don't have a strict plan regarding this, I'm just going to learn according to my mood and pace.

PRESENT
I guess this is referring to me, today. Lol... All I think of now is I just want to finish watching all three seasons of "Fruits Basket".


FUTURE
Daily Blogging
I'm thinking of doing it since I managed to do it for this year. There are so many other ways you can make a post... and I haven't fully explore that haha. But hmmm... let me think more about it.

Piano
This is one of the things that I've thought early on that I must include in my 2022 goals(?). I want to play the piano daily (at least an hour). I seriously need the practice. (Daily blogging on my music blog? I wish!) 

Weirdly though, since I started knitting, my hands feel somewhat more comfortable on the piano keys. It's like knitting helps the finger muscles develop or something.

Knitting... or crocheting
Since it helps with playing the piano, I'm thinking of knitting something.. maybe a blanket for next year. I don't know yet, really. I can also focus on wearables like hats (or beanies?) and socks (do I dare?).. Or just learn how to crochet.

Mass Effect 2
Kept repeating it here but I should really, finally, go finish that insanity playthrough... 

Learning Languages
It's just a continuation from this year, I guess. Will I finally learn Italian by the end of 2022? :P [Notice anything?]

⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰ ⋱⋰
Less than an hour before 12am. I guess now is the right time to say goodbye to 2021 before I publish this post. 

Goodbye, 2021~
